Shawn Michaels On Why He Turned Down A Job Working With WWE Creative

Shawn Michaels appeared on The Ross Report and revealed that the reason he isn’t currently working with the WWE on a regular basis because he isn’t passionate about it.

“I have the ability to be involved in whatever it is I’d like to take part in,” Michaels said. “That offer’s always sort of been there. Right now, I choose not to do that. I’m interested in trying new things. Even with my outdoor show, we’re looking at changing the format of that to make it more than just a hunting show so to speak. Then obviously doing this book. I want to go back and do it when I’m passionate about it, and right now I’m passionate about other things. I don’t want to make it sound like I’m too good for the WWE, I’m not. I don’t want to go back and do a job I’m not 100 percent in to, it’s not fair to them and not fair to me. ”

Michaels went on to explain that he shot down the idea of working in WWE creative.

“It wouldn’t be a great fit for me,” Michaels said. “There’d be a lot of stifling going on. I’ve been able to sway them on things other people couldn’t. I’d be open to the Pat Patterson gig, where you have a couple of projects and you could write in from home about it. If you’re going to be there every week, you might as well go back and be an on-air character and make more money”
