10 Major WWE Superstars That Hated Shawn Michaels

8. Chris Candido

Shawn Michaels famously €œhad relations€ with WWE€™s original diva, Sunny -- real name Tammy Sytch. Sunny was the real life wife of professional wrestler, Chris Candido. Candido was a talented performer, but like Michaels, experienced problems in his career due to personal demons and drug abuse. Sadly, Chris passed away on April 28, 2005 after having cleaned his life up. Shawn€™s relationship with Sunny has been confirmed by everyone in the wrestling business, except for Shawn and Sunny. For that matter, even Candido denied the affair in various interviews -- whether he truly believed nothing happened or was unwilling to accept the truth is up for debate. Regardless, the affair is the stuff of legend in the wrestling world, and is clearly true. According to Bam Bam Bigelow -- a close friend of Candido€™s -- Chris was so heartbroken over the affair and constant ribbing from the Kliq that he contemplated suicide. Bam Bam stated in an interview that while Chris never said anything about it to anyone, he and Shane Douglas found a note in Candido€™s bag which apparently read like a suicide note. While Candido never admitted to too much animosity with Michaels, even stating in numerous interviews that they always got along, there had to be legitimate hatred there. Nearly every wrestler who was in the Federation at the time has confirmed the affair between HBK and Sunny -- with Shawn himself even dropping hints during the Attitude Era. Still, while Candido never admitted to it himself, it€™s hard to argue that there wouldn€™t be hatred there with all that went on.
