The 10 Coolest nicknames in wrestling history

The Texas Rattlesnake 

3: The Heartbreak Kid – Shawn Michaels

Mr. WrestleMania

The Shawn Michaels of today is nothing like the brash, young out of control man who was one of the faces of WWE’s New Generation Era in the early and mid 90’s. He adopted the HBK moniker soon after splitting from his tag team partner Marty Jannetty and going solo. A little-known fact is that it was actually the late Mr. Perfect, Curt Henning, who first suggested the Heartbreak Kid nickname for Michaels.

Michaels has won almost every title in the WWE during his career and is the first ever Grand Slam Champion in WWE (He was the first to win the WWE World Championship, the tag team championships and the Intercontinental and European championships).
