Before finding God, Michaels was loathed by many of the Superstars for his ego and politicking.

#1: Shawn Michaels

HBK's ego would often get the better of him.

In 2019, Shawn Michaels is known for being a kind, quirky, deeply religious man. But before the Showstopper found his faith, Michaels was wildly unpopular backstage, though little could be done about it.

After capturing the WWF Championship in 1996, HBK's ego would grow, something Michaels has admitted to, and was made even bigger when he formed the Kliq.

With stars like Triple H, Diesel, Razor Ramon and X-Pac by his side, Michaels would make huge demands from the company, and would often get away with them, and reportedly tried to get those he didn't like fired.

This certainly couldn't have made the Kliq any friends backstage, though Shawn would change his life after he retired in 1998, finding God and becoming a new man.

Nowadays, Michaels remains one of the kindest, most honourable men in the WWE today.
