And in this corner…

This is the true story of professional wrestler Shawn Michaels’ changed life and transformation after he became a follower of Christ.  

Shawn’s life is really a story of two parts.  The life he had before Christ, and after Christ.  In his earlier life, he was a popular wrestling star who was so caught up in a self-destructive lifestyle that his health was almost ruined, he paid very little attention to his family, and only thought of himself  in all the decisions he made.  Wrestling was the only thing that mattered to him.  Despite that, his destructive lifestyle was so out of control that he had to leave wrestling.  And no one expected that he would ever return.

A different man.

Then his entire life changed.  He became a follower of Christ, and his whole existence and outlook underwent a transformation.  The second part of his life began.  He adopted a new set of priorities, and wrestling was no longer the number one thing in his life.  Following God became his first priority, followed by his family.  He got off drugs, and really enjoyed spending time with his wife and children.  

And then miraculously he got a second chance at wrestling, and came back.   But it was a new man that returned to the wrestling ring, with a different set of priorities.  This Shawn thought about what his words and actions meant to others, and he made a concerted effort to make amends with people he had hostile relationships with.  He is very thankful for how much wrestling allowed him to express his faith.  There were challenges keeping his new set of values but he was determined shine the light of God’s love in everything he did.

How do you like me now?
