Inside The Ropes recently spoke with former WWE Champion Shawn Michaels about his chances of actually wrestling another match.
“I always try to explain it to people, if you take me in a younger version and put me in the ring with those guys it would be a blast,” Michaels replied. “But of course I’d like to be a younger version of me and being in a ring with Harley Race and Buddy Rogers but none of those things can happen in real life.”
Shawn has made no secret of not wanting to work for a living anymore. HHH has even discussed how difficult it was to have Shawn accept a trainer role at the performance center. Shawn would go on to talk about the process of a WrestleMania match.
“The getting ready for [WrestleMania] is 100% work and I don’t know whether I want to put myself or my family through to do it again and steal the show at 53 for God’s sake,” Michaels continued. “Now it’s a whole different ball of wax is someone says, ‘do you wanna go down and work with some other 40 plus-year-old guys or 50 or whatever and mess around and be silly. You know what I mean? That doesn’t seem like work to me.”
“Something like that I would consider but nobody ever talks about that. It’s always me and somebody half my age.”
