Shawn Michaels is vastly considered as one of the biggest professional wrestlers of all time. Pundits and fans often address him as, “Mr WrestleMania.” And this title is not just any other title, he is considered to be the best performer of the biggest professional wrestling show on Earth, managed by WWE.
But not anyone in the world is perfect. Even one of the best professional wrestlers in the world had issues with his attitude. In the 1990s, Shawn Michaels had an attitude problem that most of his colleagues did not like.
Shawn Michaels Finally Takes On His Bad Attitude From the 1990s
Recently he was interviewed by Inside The Ropes where he was asked what would he do if a new talent acts like him. He replied;
I don’t know. I don’t think I’d deal with them and I’d probably suggest that we let him go, he’s going to be nothing but trouble, no matter how talented he is. Either that or get him help. Honestly, that would be the biggest thing. Especially, as I look at it, I think to myself, ‘Well, I… I was good at my job.
He also thinks if the company wants to get rid of the talent they should make sure that the talent gets some help;
So when you see that kind of ability and they’re young, and they are just angry at everything, and obviously have a problem – as opposed to getting rid of them, the first thing you probably should be doing is helping them. So, the more that I think about it, I think to myself that, again, ‘ We should try to at least help him because the young man is going to end up hurting himself someday,’ or he’s going to be one of those wrestling tragedies that we hear about. So I think if he had all the drug issues and things like that, that I had, that’d be the first step. If it was just an attitude thing and there were no other circumstances, that’s when sometimes it may not matter how good he is, he’s probably more trouble than he’s worth.
It is pretty much clear that Shawn Michaels feels guilty about his young age attitude. He had many bad addictions but with all those bad things in him, he managed to build himself as one of the top professional wrestlers of all time. Being one of the most influential wrestling figures, his legacy will continue as long as the professional wrestling world lives.
