WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels was recently interviewed by Challenge Mania to discuss several professional wrestling topics. Michaels discussed assisting young NXT talent at the WWE Performance Center, seeing his signature superkick become more frequently utilized in matches, and which NXT stars to look out for.
Here are the highlights:
Helping young NXT talent: “There were times when people would be like ‘You’re Shawn Michaels, why are you asking someone who was in the first match for their opinion’,” Michaels said. “I was just curious about his perspective of what it was I was doing. I always tell them (NXT performers) that I was never shy to steal from anybody, a good idea is a good idea, it doesn’t really matter where it comes from. As long as you make it yours and make it your own.”
Seeing his signature superkick become more frequently used in matches: “It’s all over the place, I think that’s sweet,” Michaels said. “They can deny all my contributions to the wrestling business, say nobody cares about Shawn Michaels. But that thing is all over the place and it makes me smile. I think it’s kind of endearing. It seems to bother everyone, except me.”
Which NXT stars to look out for: “They were formerly ACH and Trevor Lee, they look to be extremely talented young men,” Michaels said. “Also, Shane Strickland keep an eye on him.”
