What? Are you serious? Not the Heartbreak Kid! Michaels, a four-time WWE Champion and a member of the WWE Hall of Fame got his start in the business from humble beginnings.
He worked his way through territories in the National Wrestling Alliance in the early and mid-1980s, competing against top stars in different regions of the country. Michaels moved on to the AWA and was a member of The Midnight Rockers with Marty Jannetty and later became a hit in the WWF as The Rockers.

I've been a fan of this business for over 40 years and have been writing about it for the past 20 years. I'm an old school NWA guy who believes in the Texas Bull Rope Match and the wrestlers from "parts unknown". Yes, the Midnight Rider was robbed and should have been NWA World Champion. Wanna know more? Just ask more. Or better yet, read my work.
