Shawn Michaels : The Story So Far.

Advantages: An insight into the career of Shawn Michaels.
Disadvantages: None.

...Michael Shawn Hickenbottom first entered the World Wrestling Federation in June of 1987. Using the name Shawn Michaels, he team with Marty Jannetty to form a high flying tag team known as The Rockers. At that time no other team did the moves or flew around the ring like Michaels and Jannetty. But due to their young age and party animal lifestyles they were fired by Vince Mcmahon just a few months after the arrived. The team worked in other wrestling organizations for the next year, until in the summer of 1988 the WWF came calling again. Realising they had a second chance at the big time, The Rockers did everything in their power not to screw this opportunity up. Their hard work paid off, sort of. In October 1990 on an episode of Saturday Nights Main Event, Michaels and Jannetty face the WWF World Tag Team Champions, Bret Hart...

Review of Shawn Michaels

Nathan, Michael, Shawn, Wanya 2000

Advantages: Great vocals, Superb
Disadvantages: None

...**Introduction** Boyz II Men released this album in 2000 and it was their fourth studio release. This album is produced by Boyz II Men themselves along with Kevin "Shekspeare" Briggs. This album was led by singles Pass you by and Thank You In Advance. This album was the first album where they had the most creative control in their career. The Reason for the title of the album is because it shows all their names. Nathan Morris, Michael McCary, Shawn Stockman and Wanya Morris. **Nathan, Michael, Shawn, Wanya 1.) Beautiful Women This is a great uptempo track to open the album with, From the opening chords you know it is going to be a great track to dance to and the vocals are on top form as they move through the song efforlessly.

Review of Nathan Michael Shawn Wanya [ECD] - Boyz II Men

Ohhh...Oh Shawn!

Advantages: Best ever?
Disadvantages: Arrogant to the hilt

...Shawn Michaels ? probably in many eyes the greatest wrestler in WWF history. He certainly had a great relationship with the crowd, and especially something to offer the women, but also a great technical wrestler with the ability to take many bumps, something which it seems to have tragically cut short his career. He was great as part of the Rockers with the fantastic Marty Janetty, and ended this partnership in a memorable way, when he ?Superkicked? him through Brutus the Barber Beefcake?s Barber shop window ? the Superkick that went on to become the great ?Sweet Chin Music?....

Review of Shawn Michaels

Shawn's superb debut...

Advantages: A singer song writer with talent
Disadvantages: None come to mind

...of the track is brought over to me by the use of Dobro and high strung guitar which is played by Hugh McCraken. The song “Another long One” has a bit of fun about it for during the intro and the chorus “And it’s gonna be another long one tonight It’s just me and my well intentioned spite I said someone did this to me But no one did, there’s no in justices I just can’t afford to be right no more” Shawn has a percussion madman (that what the sleeve credit says) Michael Blair playing metal trays bells ceramic jars and other objects I can’t quite work out, this percussive cacophony has played against it fiddle by Soozie Tyrell and Charles Curtis on Cello the use of this string section add a bit sanity to the song. The following track for me is the standout track of the whole collection as it...

Review of Steady On - Shawn Colvin

Shawn Levy Confidential

Advantages: Interesting insight into the author's opinions
Disadvantages: Sensationalist writing style that irritates

...reading a subconscious autobiography of Shawn Levy, and that was far more interesting. Whether he intended it or not (I'm inclined to think he was self-aware enough to be deliberate), what really permeates the book are the reasons not that America was fascinated with Rat Pack, but the reasons that Shawn Levy still is. His attitude is always in the thick of his writing, and one of the most eyebrow-raising ways this was revealed was in his treatment of the Kennedy association. Bravely, considering the iconic status with which JFK is still revered in the States, he is quite obviously repulsed by the Kennedys, John especially, and considers them users and abusers: of Lawford, Sinatra and Marilyn. (Ironic, as it was Sinatra who was using Lawford and he reports this with deliberate nonchalance when he tells of Peter's nickname from Frank: "the...

Review of Rat Pack Confidential - Shawn Levy

The Show Stopper Comes Clean

Advantages: A very thorough, honest look at his life and career
Disadvantages: Becomes a Little too religious towards the end, but not too much of a bad point

...I've been a big fan of WWE wrestling ever since we first got cable TV at home back in the early 90's. Of course my enthusiasm and desire to watch it has lessened over the years I used to watch it every week without fail. Around about the same time Shawn Michaels was really starting to make a name for himself. He was one of the first wrestlers I really started to support, even though he was being portrayed as one of the bad guys, or heels as he refers to them. So when Pip showed me a copy of his autobiography I decided to borrow it off her and give it a read. I had heard that a couple of the wrestling books in previous years had been pretty good but this was actually the first one I'd gotten round to reading. The book looks at a number of aspects, from Shawn's early life, through his career to date and also how his personal life was...

Review of Heartbreak and Triumph - Shawn Michaels

There's A Lot Missing 'From The Vault'!

Advantages: Some of Shawn's best matches from 1996, with commentary by his lovely self
Disadvantages: Only 7 matches which you may already own if a fan of 90's WWF.

...(Please Note: this is the film of video version of the From The Vault Collection - thanks!) As you may be able to tell from some of my other wrestling reviews, Shawn Michaels is in fact the only reason why I do bother to tune into any WWE programming most weeks. Having been a fan of his since the age of six, I doubt whether my fascination with the self proclaimed Sexy Boy is ever going to go away. When I re-started watching wrestling a few years ago, my parents were sceptical as to whether I'd be able to bother to watch weekly for the man himself. In fact, the only reason why I stopped watching WWE programming for a while is because Shawn left the company; he'd badly injured his back during the January pay per view of the Royal Rumble back in 1998 when he took a crash landing onto a Casket (perhaps best not to ask if you aren...

Review of WWE - From The Vault: Shawn Michaels (DVD)

The Complete Story of Heartbreak and Triumph?

Advantages: Some good, insightful moments and 'forgotten' matches
Disadvantages: Almost the same as the autobiography, lacking depth in some places

...Whether you are a serious or casual wrestling fan, there is not doubt in my mind that you will have heard of Shawn Michaels and indeed seen at least one of his many matches. Since competing in his first match at the tender age of 19, the Showstoppa', as one of his many affection nicknames implies, is one of those superstars who manages to defy the odds - great and small - to deliver a highly invigorating and intriguing bout. To me, when he is wrestling, it seems that nothing is out of bounds and, when he does lose, he still manages to portray the art of sports entertainment in a light which is almost realistic and well respected by critics and hardcore fans alike. Despite the fact that the Heartbreak Kid (another alias of the man himself) has had many a DVD and video compilations throughout his 23 year career, most notably...

Review of WWE - Shawn Michaels - Heartbreak And Triumph (DVD)

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...
