Shawn Michaels Discusses Being Hesitant About Working Another Match

Shawn Michaels continues to talk about potentially working another match.

The WWE Hall of Famer recently went on record by stating that he would consider working another match if the opportunity came about.

He did bring up the idea of working a tag team match with Triple H if he did decide to compete one more time in a WWE ring.

While in the UK this week, Michaels spoke with the Daily Star about various topics. In this interview, he continued to talk about his hesitation on working another match at this stage in his life.

“I am guilty of not really wanting to work for a living. To put me in a singles match at [WrestleMania] it’s a very strenuous and anxious process, once you get in there it’s phenomenal,” Michaels said. “But to get ready for it is 100% work, and I don’t want to put myself or my family through that to go out and try and steal the show at 52 for God’s sakes.”

“If you take the younger version of me and put me in with [the younger guys] course it would be a blast,” Michaels said. “But at the same time I would like to be the younger version of me and be the ring with Harley Race and Buddy Rodgers. That’s something that can’t happen in real life. … Fans want me to nip up and have everything look like it’s 1996 or 1997, that’s never gonna happen as Father Time waits on no man.”

The WWE Hall of Famer has had a storied career in the professional industry and will go down as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

He has held every big championship that WWE has to offer and had some classic matches as well as a feud with the biggest names in pro wrestling. Those names would include The Undertaker, Steve Austin, Triple H, and Ric Flair.
