The WWE's Shawn Michaels Story. Began his career in Texas. Trained
by the legendary Jose Lothario, Shawn Michaels wrestled in Kansas,
where he met fellow wrestler, Marty Jannetty. A year later, after
sending tapes of his matches to the major wrestling companies at
the time, he was contacted by the AWA, who proposed that he team up
with Marty Jannetty again. Together, Michaels and Jannetty became
known as the Midnight Rockers. The AWA had just received a TV deal
with ESPN, which did wonders for his career. The Midnight Rockers
had a major feud with "Playboy" Buddy Rose and "Pretty Boy" Doug
Somers. Their matches were considered bloodbaths at the time.
Eventually the Midnight Rockers came out the victors and were the
AWA World Tag Team Champions. The WWF (now WWE) noticed their
efforts and signed them to a deal. Both Michaels and Jannetty were
soon fired for a incident in a bar, which Michaels claims was a
misunderstanding. The duo went back to the AWA for a brief time.
After a while, they contacted the WWF, who gave them a second
chance and they returned in late 1988. They were known simply as
The Rockers. The duo had a great influence on many of the present
teams in wrestling. Their trademark was being tag team specialists
and using great double team moves on their opponents.
