肖恩·迈克尔斯直接回答了职业摔角最常见的假设问题之一。

晚上 7 点在布鲁克林与卡梅隆·安东尼一起发表讲话，迈克尔斯解释了为什么他和巨石强森之间的梦幻比赛从未在摔跤狂热大赛上进行过，他也毫不讳言原因。

“他不喜欢我，”迈克尔斯说。 “我认为在他任职的这些年里，摔跤界发生了一场大混乱，亨特和我对他做了一些事情，卑鄙之类的。所有这些都被夸大了。所有这些都不准确，但这些都是他年轻时被喂饱的。但后来，直到今天，我们相处融洽，我们谈论一些事情。”

迈克尔斯将这种敌意归因于洛克在职业生涯早期传递的错误信息，声称迈克尔斯和 Triple H 虐待了他。他坚决反驳这些说法，称它们不准确且夸大其词，同时承认这种看法在很长一段时间内影响了洛克对他的感情。两人已经过去了，迈克尔斯指出，他们今天相处得很融洽，并互相交谈。

即使个人问题早点解决，时间安排也可能导致比赛无法进行。当迈克尔斯从休养了几年的背伤中恢复过来时，洛克已经过渡到好莱坞，不再是 WWE 的全职成员。

“我想这就是每个人都希望看到的，”迈克尔斯说（H/T to WrestlingNews.co）。 “但当我回来的时候，他已经开始了他的好莱坞事业和类似的事情。”

尽管从未参加过比赛，迈克尔斯还是满怀钦佩地谈到了巨石强森。当被要求比较两者时，他毫不犹豫地推迟了。 “你要说什么？我的意思是，那个家伙进来了，我记得第一次在《周六夜现场》上看到他，我就想，天啊，这个家伙会成为一个巨星，”迈克尔斯说。

迈克尔斯还回顾了​​洛克早期的WWE生涯，当时他以洛基·约翰逊的儿子的身份被介绍给观众，但尚未被他迷住的观众却高呼“洛基糟透了”。

“当他第一次上场时，他听到了很多‘洛基糟透了’之类的口号。所以更衣室里总是有挖苦之类的东西，”迈克尔斯说。迈克尔斯表示，洛克对拒绝的回应最终决定了他的职业轨迹。 “他认识到了这一点，觉得你必须带着更难、更有侵略性的东西回来。然后他改变了这一点。在他这样做之后，他们让他加入了国家队，他真的开始从那里起飞。”

Shawn Michaels has given a direct answer to one of professional wrestling’s most frequently asked ‘what-if’ questions.

Speaking with Carmelo Anthony on 7PM in Brooklyn, Michaels explained why the dream match between him and The Rock never happened at WrestleMania, and he didn’t mince words about the reason.

“He didn’t like me,” Michaels said. “I think over the years that he’s had, there’s been a big feud in the wrestling business with Hunter and I doing things to him, being mean and things like that. It’s all been blown out of proportion. None of it was perfect, but these were things that he was fed a lot of when he was younger. But afterward, and to this day, we get along with each other, and we talk about things.”

Michaels blamed the feud on the misinformation given to Rock early in his career and alleged that Michaels and Triple H mistreated him. He strongly hit back at those accounts, calling them inaccurate and exaggerated, while acknowledging that this perception shaped Rock’s feelings towards him for a significant period. The two have since moved on, with Michaels noting that they still meet and talk with each other today.

Even if personal issues had been resolved sooner, time would have made the match impossible. By the time Michaels returned from the back injury that had sidelined him for several years, The Rock had already made the transition to Hollywood and was no longer a full-time presence in WWE.

“I think everyone would love to see it,” Michaels said. “But by the time I came back, he was pretty far along with his Hollywood career and things like that.”

Despite never having a match, Michaels spoke about the Rock with admiration. When he was asked to compare the two, he avoided the question without any hesitation. “What are you going to say? I mean, the guy came in, and I remember seeing him for the first time on Saturday Night Live and I was thinking to myself, Holy cow, this guy is going to be a huge star,” Michaels said.

Michaels also reflected on Rock’s early WWE performance, when he was introduced to the audience as Rocky Johnson’s son and received chants of “Rocky sucks” from the crowd, who had not yet sold for him.

Michaels said, “When he first got there, he was getting a lot of ‘Rocky Sucks’ chants and stuff like that. So there was always ribbing in the locker room and stuff like that.” According to Michaels, Rock’s reaction to that rejection ultimately defined his career path. “They recognized it and realized you had to come back with something tougher, something more aggressive. And then they changed it. And when they did that, and they put them with the Nation, they really started to take off from there.”

It seems that hunger and a tough slice of steak cost WWE fans the chance to see the unexpected alliance between bitter rivals Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels.

During the 2000s, there was very little light for WWE. However, one of the best spots was the rivalry between Jericho and Michaels. Its first peak came with a match at WrestleMania 19 which was later won, but then he received a low blow from his opponent. Then, when Jericho won the World Heavyweight Title in 2008.

The pair of current and future Hall of Famers created magic together. Be it a war of words or in the ring. Without a doubt, they were some of each other’s greatest rivals during their legendary careers. However, a few years later, Jericho actually advocated for hated enemies to become allies to solve a shared problem.

“The idea was a storyline involving Bray Wyatt and Shawn Michaels,” Jericho told Game Hub. “The premise was that the Wyatt Family would attack me, and the only person I could call that was crazy enough to have my back was Shawn — even after our rivalry.

“He comes back to confront me, and just as we were about to go at him, the Wyatt Family attacks both of us. Now you don’t know if Shawn was going to accept my offer or not, but he’s in it,” he said. “With the SummerSlam match in mind, it would be Jericho and HBK against The Wyatt Family. That was a really solid pitch.”

Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels never teamed up because of bad steaks?

This idea sounds like fun and would definitely benefit the Wyatt Family as they look to establish themselves on the main roster. However, the idea was turned down by then-WWE boss Vince McMahon. Jericho claims that the pitch failed because he spoke to the company’s founder at the worst possible time. during lunch.

Jericho claimed, “When Vince is eating, he’s not paying attention to anything else.” “…Vince was sitting there eating his steak, and when I finished, he said, ‘Bad cow.’ I said, ‘What?’ He says, ‘Bad cow – the steak is tough.’ I said, what do you think about my pitch?

“He says, ‘What else do you have?’ The steak destroyed the entire angle. But that’s the nature of working for Vince – if he doesn’t like it, you’re done. To some extent, it is the same with Tony. You have to please your boss.”

So Hunger and a “Bad Guy” ended the chance for WWE fans to see Jericho and Michaels unite against the Wyatt Family.
