10 WWE superstars who battled depression

#3 Shawn Michaels

HBK was not immune either

The life of Shawn Michaels can be split into two parts – pre-depression and post-depression.

During the former, he used to be a pain in the rear for everyone around him. He was talented in the ring but as a person, he was termed a failure by a majority of business insiders. In 1998, Shawn had to take time off due to a back injury and he eventually fell into the clutches of depression.

He started taking prescription drugs at an alarming rate, which made the situation worse. Michaels, however, managed to turn things around and later started believing in God. He became a born-again Christian and soon returned to his normal life as a completely different man.
