10 Retired Wrestlers Who Are Still In Amazing Shape

Shawn Michaels did work one more match, and it bloody sucked.

It looks like HBK has called it a career again now though, but that doesn't mean he's sitting back on a rocking chair and taking it easy. Shawn works tirelessly as a trainer, mentor and producer for NXT at the Performance Center/Full Sail, and it's a credit to him that his abs rival Johnny Gargano's.

To put that comment into perspective, Gargano is in his prime. The NXT favourite is 32 years old and wrestles weekly. Meanwhile, Michaels hasn't worked a match since October 2018 and is 22 years older. The 54 year old hasn't let that stop him - his stomach is like a washboard.

One could grate cheese on that thing. Shawn can't be a stranger to cardio, or to dieting. Nobody has abs like that at 54 without some serious nutritional awareness, and it'd be impossible for Michaels to look like he does without hitting the gym.
