Seize Heartbreak Triumph: The Shawn Michaels Story Engineered By Shawn Michaels Categorized In Paper Copy

autobiography by an oldschool wrestler who loved what he did, Ups and downs in his life, so his marriage and salvation at the end leaves his story on a sweet note.
Really an essential history for any WWE fan, The best memoir ever!!!!!!!!!!!! Heartbreak Kid, Mr Wrestlemania. Shawn Michaels had a few names over his career, This is the story of his life and career right up to Wrestlemania, He pulls no punches, and is blunt and honest about his triumphs and problems, Sometimes it feels like reading a bit of an ego trip it is his autobiography, after all, but overall, a great read that got me less screen time which is a great thing!

HOWEVER If you don't want to know about all the workings that go on behind the scenes in the world of professional wrestling, then maybe this book might not be for you.
I won't be watching wrestling in quite the same way again, but I'm still keen to read the stories of other greats from the wrestling world.
This book feels too sanitized, I think a better testament would have gone much deeper into the life of debauchery and drug abuse, Pretty good if youre a fan of old wrestling, I grew up on wrestling, both WCW and WWEF, Shawn Michaels was hands down my favorite wrestler, so its cool to see behind the scenes of all the stuff I remember loving.

A great book, One of my favorite wrestlers ever from the's, I was a fan of all fans, I would dance to his music, collect magazine covers, I loved his ring gear, music, attitude and humor especially in DX I've watched several of his DVD's but this is the first time I read his book.
I learned a lot about HBK, One can argue that he is still cocky in this book, but one can not deny what he does in the ring.
The fact that he put John Cena over, . . many times is a reason to be a fan, he jobbed to some who he shouldn't have,

Anyways some great insight into his life and how things got started in WWE how he first met many of his buddies, the formation of factions, issues with Marty.
Drugs, the parties. Everything is told through Shawns eyes and he takes his time writing it giving us a detailed story, And then there's Bret Hart, After years I was finally able to hear the real story of what happened in Montreal, I felt the stress of Shawn getting to me, Much credit to him, I could never have lived with the guilt,

There is a quote in this book that couldn't be any more truer and showed me that hey Shawn really does know the business and what's going on today: "That's one of the problems with the business now, we put titles on guys hopping that it's going to get them over.
You need to get over first, than get the title, " The IC title has lost its meaning because it never gets defended, same with the US title, They slap the belt on someone for months and months but never have the defend it, in hopes that the belt will get the individual over.
it fails.

I really liked his transformation into a Christian, I could tell he was different when he returned in the mid's He really did act like a new born person.
And I am glad. you look at the long list of wrestlers lives that drugs have taken, Shawn could have been one of them hadn't God brought his wife into his life and prayed so much for him.


". . Continue praying to the lord and talking to him, reading his word and letting him talk to you, You can't have a relationship with somebody once a week at church, it's an everyday thing. . " Among the pages of the autobiography which features the backstory of the professional wrestler who I most craved to learn more about, “Mr.
Wrestlemania” Shawn Michaels hardly disappointed, Updated through the events of Wrestlemaniain, Shawn shed new light on all aspects of his personal and professional lives in both pointedly and poignant ways.
Though I was partially let down by the lack of comment on the biggest matches of his wrestling career, Michaels made me proud with his telling of his spiritual transformation and the new life he began fromonwards.
Despite the fact that I respect the comments made on Michaels perspective of Bret Hart and the Montreal Screwjob, I couldnt help but feel that Harts feelings as noted in his own book and numerous documentaries remain valid and that the employeeservesthecompanycompletely mentality is bad for civilized society in general.
I would like to think that if Shawn had gone through the same scenario as Bret Hart, that he would have acted in a very similar way.
This book came at a fitting time during Shawn Michaels life and demonstrates how anybody can be saved if they simply put their faith in the one true God.
It was good . until god showed up . While this wasn't a bad Autobiography, It wasn't amazing or anything either, On the subject of Bret Hart, While I understand this was his view of things, I didn't really agree with his opinions or believe what he said happened between him and Bret.
MontrealSurvivor series will go down as the most controversial event in wwe or wrestling history, Also putting Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan on the same category when it comes to wrestling ability is absolutely wrong and quite disrespectful to Austin.
Nevertheless Michaels proved that even though he has been changed and has gotten his life right with God, He's still Shawn Michaels. Great bio. Very imformative and honest. I loved this book. I have a new respect for HBK and other wrestlers, A must read if you're a wrestling fan, This was an insomnia book, . . not much different from any of

the other ghostwritten wrasslin' autobiographies, good, though, to have insight into the whole Montreal Screwjob from the lynchpin, Back in the day, I had Bret's back in the whole deal, I turned the page a while back, While there was nobody in the right in the whole deal, I think Bret was more in the wrong than anybody.
Rating.

Hard to get a feel as to whether Shawn is being fully truthful on how things played out during his career He alludes to being a pain but more often than not, maintains an innocence to his politicking image

Starting to understand the Wrestling book formula just like a match have one startling admission Montreal Screwjob amp then a bunch of match descriptions amp innuendo that does not reveal much else about the backstage
I had just watched a documentary about Shawn Michaels and the book was a lot better, which seems to be the way it usually is.
What I really liked about it was the easy reading and it felt almost like a conversation in a sense, It was interesting getting some of the ins and outs of the WWE and the rise and fall of the company in relation to Shawn Michaels.
The only part I had a bit of a problem with was the Lord stuff at the end but that is my issue and not a problem with Shawn Michaels as that was his experience.

I would say if you are a wrestling fan then this is one of the better, easier, non convoluted reads of one of the WWE's.
Was a huge Rockers fan growing up, way more Marty then Shawn, Was also a big Bret Hart fan after that, so came into the book really only wanting to read the Rockers part.


Overall its a decent wrestling book, Still dont like Shawn anymore then I did before, heck may like him even less, After reading this book, everything in his career is never his fault, Plus whats with his dad seeming to be apart of negotiations he has no business being apart of

Overall its a decent read for his point of view but didnt make me change my opinion of him or the Kliq.
I was not a fan of Shawn Michaels before reading the book, I am still not a fan! Great story about a man who overcame his demons and turned to God for the answer.
The authors did an excellent job recounting the stories both in the ring and behind the scenes of the greatest body of work in the history of professional wrestling and interweaving it with Shawn's well documented personal development.
The book was okay, it might have been too predictable for me being a huge fan of the Rockers, An easy read that should appease most mainstream wrestling fans, Great wrestling insider book

This is a book about Shawn Michaels dream to become a wrestler, how he did it and how, in the end he was redeemed by becoming a follower of Christ.
I have watched wrestling since I was a kid and enjoyed an inside view, More importantly to me was to see a life changed from drugs and alcohol to one that now serves the Lord who saved him.
Great redemption story. Say what you will about professional wrestling, I've been fascinated by it since I was aboutyears old, watching the WWF now WWE broadcast out of New York City on a blackandwhite TV.
I look at professional wrestling as theatre for really fit people, You simply can't throw big bodies like that at each other overtimes a year without being superb athletes,

My alltime favorite wrestler to watch was Shawn Michaels, He wasn't the biggest or the strongest, and he certainly wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, That said, nobody but nobody worked harder to put on a great show than HBK did, Even with a torn ACL and busted vertebrae, HBK would do whatever it took to make the fans say "That was amazing!" He is a phenomenal athlete with boatloads of charisma in the ring nobody did an entrance like HBK.
I'd be hardpressed to name someone with similar attributes today, although Tessa Blanchard is in the ballpark,

What I didn't know was the man outside the ring, I had no idea about the conservative Catholic upbringing, that Dad was an Air Force colonel, or that he was painfully shy around other people.
That isdegrees out from his ring persona of a brash ladykiller, I also had no idea about his saving faith in Jesus Christ,

The book is a straightforward telling of his life, He was utterly clueless going into an industry noted for secrecy, complete with its own language, Shawn openly admits that he knew the whole deal going into one of the most pivotal moments in wrestling history, the infamous Montreal Screwjob.
His treatment of others is in my opinion fair, even about the people who openly and repeatedly disparaged him,

An uplifting book that is worth reading, If you know little about professional wrestling, you'll learn a lot from this book, theicon theshowstopper HBK.
