Disclaimer: I don't own Shawn Michaels. He belongs to WWE and his wife I am only borrowing him as the inspiration for this story.

Hey guys this is my first wrestling fic. I usually write Mutant X fics so if you like this one then please check out some of my other work. This is just my idea of what might be going through Shawn's head just before he heads out to the ring. Please read and review I love to read reviews. Constructive criticism only please.

All for Them

Shawn could hear the crowd before he walked through the curtain. Well walk wasn't the right word. It was more like hobble. Sometimes he could hardly even stand these days and picking the kids up left him in pain for hours.

Rebecca was the only one he could let his guard down around. She was the only one who understood.

None of the fans would ever know. He'd give up everything he had before he let it show in his matches. He knew they all loved him; he loved them all just as much back. But would they still love him if he couldn't go out there and do his thing every week?

Would they care when its 5 years down the line and he is all but forgotten? Some of them might, the ones who had grown up watching him, who knew all of the words to his theme song and even knew how many different coloured ring outfits he had.

But what about the rest of them? Wrestling fans in general can be fickle, their allegiances change from week to week but he didn't blame them for that, it just meant that he and the other guys and girls were doing their jobs properly.

Well it was time for him to go and do what he got paid for. He could hear the HBK chants. He could feel their excitement. They knew he was about to give them a match to remember, after all he did it all for them.

Well guys I hope you all liked that. i know its a bit short but it just jumped into my head. Just in case anyone was wondering I am one of those fans who grew up watching Shawn, knows all the words to 'Sexy Boy' and knows how many different ring outfits he has. I have been a Shawn Michaels fan for 14 years and I probably always will be.
