WWE Hall Of Famer Discusses Their Relationship With The Rock

WWE

A WWE Hall of Famer has discussed their relationship with The Rock.

Shawn Michaels is currently WWE’s senior vice president of talent development creative and helps guide the young stars of NXT.

Before his stint in management, Michaels is considered one of the greatest in-ring performers in the company’s history. However, he wasn’t the greatest person to get along with backstage during the height of his success during the 90s.

Shawn Michaels and The Rock never worked a singles match against one another, but according to reports and rumors, it was HBK’s attitude towards The Great One that led to Rock never wanting to work with him.

Speaking to Logan Paul on ImPAULsive, Michaels was asked where things stood with The Rock.

He answered:

“I’ve never worked with him. His daughter [Simon Johnson] is here [in NXT]. The times I’ve seen him, we’ve always gotten along okay. I don’t think it was as bad as everyone made it out to be. I know that I gave everybody a hard time back when I was younger. When I came back, I made sure I went up to everybody and was at least like, ‘Sorry.’ That’s the best that I could do. When I came back in 2002, and I knew there was going to be, ‘We’ll see.’ It was important to me to go around and make amends and at least tell everyone, ‘Sorry about the way I was. I have no excuse, I’m willing to earn back whatever. If you never talk to me again, I’m cool with that too.'”

During his first retirement after 1998, Shawn Michaels served as special guest referee in a few matches featuring The People’s Champion.

As previously reported, a top AEW star has commented on The Rock’s latest film “Black Adam”.
