30 Surprising WWE Facts You Probably Didn't Know

The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels, has been naturally ambidextrous from a very young age, able to use both hands more or less interchangeably without sacrificing dexterity, accuracy or grip strength. That’s something that only about 1% of the world’s population can say.

While this would put him on the level of a Dread Pirate Roberts when it came to awesome fencing skills, it caused him no end of grief when he was a kid playing football, as he frequently had trouble telling left from right.

Typically for an ambidextrite (is that right?), Michaels has delegated certain tasks to a specific dominant hand: for example, he draws and colours with his right hand, and writes with his left.

While he can alternate which arm he uses to perform the elbow drop, he almost always delivers Sweet Chin Music with his right leg. For wrestling storytelling purposes, that still made it possible for an opponent to target a particular limb to remove the superkick from the equation.
