He is a retired professional wrestler, actor and TV host, still considered one of the best professional wrestlers in wrestling history.
Shawn, along with his three older siblings Shari, Scott and Randy, were raised by their mother and father, who were both in the military. Because Shawn’s father was stationed in England when Shawn was young, the family lived there for two years. He was 12 years old when he decided he wanted to be a wrestler, and he first tried wrestling at his high school talent show. He was physically very active while attending Randolph High Schoolwhile playing football as a standout linebacker and eventually becoming the captain of the school team.
He graduated in 1983 and then enrolled at Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, but dropped out after just two months to pursue a career as a wrestler.
He started training in 1984 under professional Mexican wrestler Jose Lothario, and he fought his first fight on October 16, 1984, which he lost. He began competing in World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) in January 1985, and toward the end of the year began wrestling for Texas All-Star Wrestling. He went national in 1986 when he entered the American Wrestling Association (AWA) and won a fight against Buddhakhan. In 1987, Shawn started fighting in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), but was fired after two weeks after a bar fight.
In 1988, he entered World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), eventually retiring ten years later due to a back injury. In 2000, he returned to fight at his own professional wrestling school, the Texas Wrestling Academy. In 2002, Shawn returned to WWE to compete for the next eight years, before becoming a wrestling coach in 2016. During his time in WWE, Shawn won the WWF Championship three times and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship once – he also won the Royal Rumble and the WWF Grand Slam Championship twice.
Shawn is also a model and in 1996 he posed for “Playgirl” magazine – after learning that the magazine was mainly read by gay people, his struggling colleagues started teasing him.
He is also an actor, who started his career in 1996 when he played Vinnie in a single episode of the drama series “Baywatch”. In 1999, Shawn appeared as Michael Shane in two episodes of the crime series “Pacific Blue”. In 2017, he was invited to make his film debut, as Doug in the Christian film “The Resurrection of Gavin Stone”, and that same year he played Ted in the country musical “Pure Country: Pure Heart”. In 2018, he appeared as the Incredible Master Yoga in the superhero comedy “Avengers of Justice: Farce Wars”, as well as Luke Trapper in the action movie “The Marine 6: Close Quarters”. Shawn’s most recent role was in 2019, in the drama film “90 Feet From Home,” in which he played James Devine.
In 1987, Shawn became addicted to various substances he was taking, and this led to him losing many of his friends. Around that time, he contemplated suicide, but eventually went to see a psychologist — as Rebecca has stated, “There was something about him that he despised, and he was self-destructive.”
