Shawn Michaels believes NXT talent would benefit from wrestling Sean Waltman on WWE’s developmental brand.
While speaking on a media call for NXT Deadline, Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels spoke about being open to Waltman wrestling in NXT. Michaels did give credit to the two-time WWE Hall of Famer for being in great shape currently.
“I know he has been getting back in there here and there and I got to tell you he’s like in the best shape he’s been in a long, long time. He looks fantastic. Obviously that would be something I had to, run up the flag pole and everything”.
“Look, the talent would benefit from that so much. I know he has a blast. So that’s an option that we’re allowed to explore, I jump all over it. But I will. It’s amazing, we’re all buddies and all that stuff like it, but it pales to you guys, but he won’t say anything to me about it. I’ll say we’re all busy trying to work. We can’t just pick it up and doing it off the cuff like we use to. When we did the panel and everything, he was really focus on helping us out and getting that done.”
“I got to tell you, that would be awesome. The talent would benefit from that so much, and clearly we do as a program. If we have Kid do anything with us, that’s a huge plus for NXT.”
