ORLANDO, Fla. – When you discuss the greatest professional wrestlers in history one name is almost always in the conversation: Shawn Michaels. The “Heartbreak Kid” joins us for an in-depth sit-down interview at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando.
He was once the bad boy of WWE but now he’s the man in charge -- in a fashion. Michaels now oversees WWE’s popular NXT program, which airs on CW on Tuesday nights.
“I’m kind of a boss. I’m head of NXT,” said Michaels. “You think about the change of my character from television to the person that I am behind the scenes. But all of it was based on a kid having fun and loving what he’s doing.”
In this interview, Michaels opens up about what it’s like to live his dream, which has now spanned five separate decades. He also discusses the rising stars he oversees, like Trick Williams.
Also on this episode, we’re joined by up-and-coming NXT star Tank Ledger.
