6 Photos of Shawn Michaels he might prefer you didn't see

#1. An amazing concept

The original concept design for Shawn Michaels' character

If you are one of the many, many fans who enjoy the behind-the-scenes minutia and detail when it comes to the world of professional wrestling, then this last image is for you.

We've spotted this incredible snap of what appears to be some original concept art for the character of Shawn Michaels. Splitting from Marty Jannetty in the early 1990s, Shawn went on to enjoy a solid singles career for a couple of years before really hitting it big as The Heartbreak Kid with feuds against the likes of Bret Hart and Razor Ramon. But it's fascinating to see the very first insights into what was planned for his first solo run before he reached such incredible levels of fame.

The designs are great and, looking back at the Michaels of, say, 1992 to 1993, it's clear to see that much of this design was incorporated into how he ended up looking and sounding - though it's fair to say there appears to be a bigger 'biker' aspect to the concepts that we never saw quite follow through to the on-screen persona.
