10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 5 Facts
7. Shawn Michaels Was Severely Hung Over
At the age of 23, the future "Heartbreak Kid" had himself a reputation as routine partier. He and Rockers partner Marty Jannetty looked the part of two fun-loving hooligans that enjoyed fast times by the boatload, and the weekend of WrestleMania 5 was no exception. In this case, however, Michaels wasn't drinking in the best of spirits.
Michaels recalls having a fight at the hotel with his then-wife Theresa, and then storming off to the establishment's bar with Jannetty, drinking until four in the morning on WrestleMania day. By his account, Michaels had only gotten four hours of sleep.
He also admits to popping energy pills and chugging down plenty of coffee to get himself in working shape. In a testament to Michaels' god-given talent, few onlookers would've noticed him being even slightly off his game.
