Shawn Michaels accomplished a lot during his in-ring career, but Michaels retired after he was defeated by The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26, and now he works behind the scenes helping up and coming talents develop their skills.
Over the years the Heartbreak Kid put on some impressive performances in the ring, and there are some people who consider him to be the greatest of all time.
During an appearance on Rasslin’ with Brandon F. Walker, Shawn Michaels was asked if he considers himself to be the greatest, and he said that he doesn’t, but he’s happy to be in the conversation.
“I don’t. But it’s funny when you’re younger, certainly you do. But I don’t know, I now only have the ability to see everything in the rearview mirror. Technically, at 56, I am back to where I was at 19 when I was just realizing that my idea of success was having a car and a one-bedroom apartment and maybe one of the main guys in the local territory in South Texas.
Obviously, it has become so much more than that. I am now unbelievably flattered that I get mentioned. Look, people argue about it, whether who is or who isn’t, and my name is in there. And that to me is good enough. That is beyond my wildest dreams. Those things never get determined, and every generation is different. Again, I’m just glad to be at this point in my life and look back on a really cool body of work that I’m proud of.”
