10 Wrestlers Who Came Crawling Back To WWE
5. Shawn Michaels
Shawn Michaels did not give a f*ck in 1997.
It was the amount of not giving a f*ck where you've got to pronounce f*ck with about seventeen Us, or do away with the f*cks altogether because he didn't have any left to give at all.
'The Heartbreak Kid' was losing a battle with his personal demons and his professional life had never been more fraught as a result. Trapped in a philosophical war with Bret Hart that sprawled between their on and off screen lives, Michaels' other Kliq pals beyond Triple H were making fortunes in WCW while he bounced in and out of speculative retirement, a search for a smile and a changing television product he was trying to figure himself back into.
All of this converged to chaos about once a week, but never more so than when he scrapped with 'The Hitman' for real over the "Sunny Days" comment he peppered a promo with the week prior. Storming out of the building on that wild July, he swore allegiance to his mates and WCW. After all the requisite toing and froing, he was back by August.
