Alignment - Face with an Attitude Wrestling Style - Technical, Brawling Match Specialities - Hell in a Cell, Street Fight Stable - D-Volution (w/JHalc, DC Hennig, Nova and Carnage) Relationship Status - Married to Mary-Jane Williams aka Sugar since 15th June 2013 (off screen) Manager - Nova (link to profile at the bottom) Previous Teams - D-Generation X World Order (w/DC Hennig, J Glick A, Tyler Lawson, JHalc, Ricky Raymond, Kyle Kross, Killer J)* JNM (w/JHalc) Heaven and Hell (w/Kanimaniac)** Insano Knightmares (w/Nate Insano)** The Empire (w/Kanimaniac)
*David was part of the DxWo with these men, but never all in one single group, but in several incarnations. **As Snake.
Allies
Sugar- After meeting one another in SIW and being engaged for over a year, the two finally tied the knot off screen on the 15th June 2013. Sugar now remains off screen since David's return to the company, with their marriage known but not really mentioned.
"Mr. Phenomenal" DC Hennig- David and DC have been best of friends for roughly over five years and with DC's shocking return in 2014, the pair are once again up to their tricks...
"The Jack of Hearts" JHalc- Once a bitter enemy, the two became partners, initially as part of the JNM team, and later in 2013 as D-Volution. The pair now see eye to eye and enjoy a comical relationship on screen.
"The Glickinator" J Glick A- Going back to their DxWo days in SIW, the two men have been close friends off camera ever since. JGA retired a number of years ago, but the two remain close.
"The Wildcat" Nova- Nova is David's manager, starting from his early SIW days and later TNL and currently in the XWA. Nova returned to XWA TV cameras in late August in 2013 and looks to be in David's corner more than ever before..
Respected Wrestlers
"The Elite One" Caleb Spires- Caleb is a much respected person by David and the two have teamed together in the past and often fighting for common causes. However, the two have also not seen eye-to-eye on occasion and have fought one another many times.
"The Dragon Tamer" Kanimaniac- Over the course of 2013, David and Kanimaniac became friends off screen and eventually teamed together under The Empire name. Despite no longer teaming, the two has a respect for one another.
Enemies
"The Instant Classic" Tyler Lawson- David and Tyler have never and never will get along. Period. David got annoyed at Tyler 99% of the time while they were both in the DxWo and the two wish the other was pretty much dead...
"The Rated Y2X Superstar" Razor Xtreme- Both professionally and personally these two men simply hate one another. Despite only facing one another a handful of times, this hatred has been running since mid 2009.
"The Prophet" Robert Hope- The rivalry between the two stems back to their TNL days, before being reignited in the XWA in 2014. Hope has a distinct hatred for Michaels and the feeling is rather mutual. During the early summer of 2014, the pair got into a heated rivalry that will go down in the history of XWA as one of the best ever. The pair ended up being one win a piece, but it was David Michaels that got the last laugh inside a Hell in a Cell...
"The Franchise" Evan Flare- These two have never got along and neither ever intend to. This grudge goes back to 2009 and the chances are, it'll never be let go.
Ace Andrews- When David returned to XWA in 2012, he instantly made an enemy of Ace Andrews. The two entered a bitter battle for months, attempting to one up the other, especially when Ace revealed himself as the new co-holder of the XWA Tag Titles with David. Essentially, if there is one guy Michaels hates, it's Ace Andrews.
Cerberus- Cerberus is a seven foot freak of nature that was determined to destroy David during the course of 2011. He returned to the XWA in later 201, under the guidance of Robert Hope, where he would once again raise hell on The Showstealer.
Adam Dennis- Adam is a former commentator of the XWA and spent 99% of his time during Michaels' matches calling him fit to burn. Adam may only be a commentator, but for whatever reason, he despises David Michaels. Every opportunity Adam got, he belittled Michaels as much as he can, more so than anyone else on the roster. Michaels would get some revenge, as he and JHalc informed him that he was no longer needed in the company...after tricking him, of course!
Joey Miles- Much like Adam Dennis, Joey Miles despises David. A legitimate reason has yet to be given, but the hate is there and Joey makes it very vocal during all of David's matches.
Canadians- Ever since David debuted in 2008 (2009 as himself), Canadian fans have always had a natural hate for the younger brother of one of the most famous wrestlers of all time. For years they have always boo'd him when comepting in the country and have, rather stupidly and incorrectly, often reminded him that he "screwed Bret". Although the hate towards David has toned slightly in recent years since Bret and Shawn 'made up', the animosity towards David still eventually surfaces.
Head- David has shoulder length black brown hair, which he can wear either in a pony tail or just loose on his sides. He has grey eyes and also has a distinct beard - he has currently grown it out and looks rather large around the chin area (ala James Storm heel look).
Upper Body- During matches, other than matching-coloured wrist bands, David doesn't wear anything on his upper body.
Lower Body- The lower half of the body is where DM's appearance really takes place. During matches, David will wear tights, which range in any and all colours. They will always have his broken heart designs running up and down them, with a zebra pattern behind and will say "The Showstealer" on the behind. David also wear knee pads over the tights, which will always match the design of the tights and will have a broken heart on the front of them too. His boots are half black and half silver and have a skiing boot type look where they fasten up via strap on the outside.
Outside the Ring- Outside the ring, David is a relaxed character. He isn't fussed with buying or, indeed, wearing the latest fashions or expensive suits. He will often be simply wearing blue or black jeans and a plain T-shirt, or often one of his own shirts that XWA sells as merchandise. He often likes to wear stylish black shades, however, as it provides him with a little bit of confidence. He can also be often seen wearing a cowboy hat, usually a plain black one, and at times a leather jacket.
Entrance Accessories- David will often wear a cowboy hat to the ring, along with shades. David has since abandoned his older brother's entrance type attire and has since gone for his own look. When making his entrance, David simply wears custom made waist high leather jackets to the ring. They will always range in colours and designs and have been personally made for him.
Stealing the Show- David Michaels is a well known and loved character in professional wrestling. He is a former four time World Heavyweight Champion and former four time World Tag Team Champion. Back in 2012 to early 2013, he was also the General Manager of the XWA before taking a four month break from the ring. As his nickname suggests, Michaels likes to steal the show. He likes to be the one that puts on the very best match every time he steps into that ring. He is a born entertainer and a gifted athlete, while possessing much charisma in the character he's developed over the past near six years.
David wears his heart on his sleeve and has often done everything he can for the fans. However now, since his return in August 2013, his attitude has become a little more out of control. He's more confident, more ruthless and more determined than ever. He has a unique mix of comedy and intensity rolled into one, being able to create unsettling situations with humour. Essentially, he is a man that knows he can get the job done and there isn't a person within the company that intimidates him, no matter who they think they are.
Also, David Michaels is a dual citizen. He was born in the United Kingdom and stayed there until he was five, before moving to the United States full time. David considers himself more American, but love his British routes and makes sure they are not forgotten especially when in the country. As a result, he has a broad Texas accent that often has British hints at times. He also spells like a Brit, which is strange, as he went to school in America.
