WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels recently spoke with Sports Illustrated. Here are the highlights:
His WWE role:
“I’d rather stay behind the scenes and let the stars of tomorrow take their rightful place,” said Michaels. “My time has come and gone. This is all about them. NXT is wrestling at its best. We’re going to continue on that track, and that’s showing people the best talent in WWE, which is in NXT.”
Coaching at the WWE Performance Center:
“When Triple H asked me about working there, I didn’t know everything that the job entailed,” explained Michaels. “Once I got to interact with so much of the talent, it got a hold of me.
“They were a very inspiring group of young men and women, and it reinvigorated my desire and passion to be back in the wrestling business. It was all in the very pure, hungry, wanting to make it to the very top state that NXT has always been. It got a hold of me right away.”
