When it comes to legends in WWE, you don’t find many bigger than Shawn Michaels. Split between two runs, one in the 90’s, and one from 2002 to his retirement in 2010 – Michaels won countless championships, and won over the hearts of fans everywhere. However, aside from a regrettable match in Saudi Arabia – he’s been focused on a new goal, and that’s shaping the future of WWE.
Shawn Michaels Opens Up About Being A Coach In WWE
During an appearance on WWE’s The Bump – Shawn Michaels had a chance to say just how much it means to him to be a coach in the WWE Performance Center. He’d be quoted saying the following.
“It’s so much more meaningful to me outside of the ring. Again, I got a great deal of joy from performing in my day. Working with these young men and women, I guess the biggest thing is appreciating their trust, and I don’t wanna mess that up. I can get emotional about that because they come in here, they’re not sure, they’re hungry, they wanna know the way to get to WrestleMania. I take that trust so incredibly seriously, I don’t wanna betray that. I love coming here to work, it is not hard for me to do this job.
I’m thankful I have a family that understands that they have to share me with the other love of my life, and that is NXT. The thing is, all the men and women who come through this place, they’re ready, they’re willing and again, you wanna honor that and do the best job for them. I’m humbled by that honesty, but I will also take that so incredibly seriously. I want for them, when they leave here, to have their experience with me to be something they look back on and to be something they’re pleased about. That’s what I hope we’re doing here.”
Since Triple H stepped aside for health reasons, Michaels has been the one in charge on the NXT brand – and led the brand through the tough transition to NXT 2.0. Do you see Michaels ever stepping into the ring again? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
