Shawn Michaels will go down in history as one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time. The Heartbreak Kid had a illustrious 20+year career in WWE and retired in 2010 following his loss to The Undertaker in a ‘Career vs Streak’ match in the main event of WrestleMania 26.
Couple years after he came out of retirement to team up with Triple H to battle The Undertaker and Kane at WWE Crown Jewel 2018.
During a recent appearance on the “Nightcap with Shannon Sharpe & Chad Ochocino” podcast, Shawn Michaels commented on a possible return to the ring.
On a possible in-ring return: “Not a chance. I’m so blessed and so unfortunate to have done what I’ve done. I’m so overjoyed to be doing what I do now and helping the future of WWE. Being part of that, NXT is thriving on Tuesday nights on CW Network. To help these young men and women to achieve their passions and dreams is something that I had no idea I’d enjoy this much, but it is so great. I think the business is in tremendous hands for the future.”
On if he misses performing in the ring:“I don’t. The physical aspect, I don’t miss. The travel, I don’t miss. I’m able to still get that same charge when we’re sitting there and I’m telling a story to these talents where I’m trying to convey, ‘This is what we’re looking for out of this match, and we’re going to tell this story. This is going to happen, and at the end, hopefully they come unglued.’ When that happens and it all comes together, it’s that feeling where you watch the joy in that talent’s heart when they’re finally getting it. It’s in a different aspect that I receive that charge that I used to have when I got in the ring.”h/t to Fightful for the transcription.
