Shawn Michaels Talks One More Match, Daniel Bryan, WrestleMania

WWE Hall of Famer recently spoke with WWE.com about various topics related to his wrestling career in promotion of his upcoming book. Now, in a conversation with Brian Fitz of Between The Ropes, Michaels went in-depth of discussions of one more match for himself and much more. Below are some highlights.

“HBK” detailed whether he gets asked about wrestling again:

“Oh yeah. All the time. All the time. If they don’t believe, they request that I do. There isn’t a time that, every once in a while I will receive a text or someone will make the comment of ‘hey, we got this’. Put it this way: it’s always there for me if I want it. There’s only been probably, I don’t know, maybe one time where where you go that’s actually a pretty good idea. (laughs) But you have to be careful even about saying that, even to acknowledge that is, in fact, a good idea. You have to be quick to follow up with don’t get me wrong, I’m not doing it. I have to give you props on a good idea.”

He talked about the tease between he and Daniel Bryan during their mini-feud in October of 2013:

“Yeah, I realize that a lot of people certainly got that. I guess from my perspective it certainly is a good idea but it’s one of those ones, I guess from my standpoint, a good idea is one that would really intrigue me. That’s not one of those of those ones where you go ‘wow, what are the chances of someone coming up with that?’ That’s teacher – student, that’s been done, and again I’m not knocking it, I’m just saying that is not some kind of new, innovative idea. It’s just two other guys doing a very rehashed idea but we think they can do it well so it will be fun for us to watch. Certainly at its core it’s not a new and fresh idea.”

Michaels said it is mainly around WrestleMania these ideas come out left and right:

“Well, I don’t even want to go down that road because then, of course, people will run with it. I at least try to do my best to throw my hat in the ring around WrestleMania so people can talk about it and I can get free press. It’s irrelevant then. Like I said, most people wouldn’t find it interesting anyway. My tastes I guess are not like theirs. When you’ve done a lot of stuff it’s sometimes those out of the box, strange ones that really peak your interest. For me, I give it about two minutes thought and then I move on because I’m very happy with what I’m doing and where my life’s at right now.”

Editor’s Note

Really did think for a moment we’d see Bryan/Michaels. Obviously, things worked out in the end.
