Two-time WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated ahead of tonight’s RAW Reunion episode. Michaels will be on tonight’s RAW Reunion while simultaneously celebrating his birthday today. “The Heartbreak Kid” also discussed which talents he’d like to have worked with now if he were 20 years younger.
Here are some highlights:
RAW Reunion tonight:
I lived out my life in front of the world on Monday Night Raw. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m really looking forward to tonight. It’s going to be crazy on-camera as well as backstage, a real-life reunion. There is a lot of art imitating life going on tonight. It feels especially right that today is my birthday. I can’t remember a birthday or a holiday when I wasn’t doing something with WWE. They’re my extended family, and they’ve been with me so long that it feels like a second family.
Who he’d like to work with on today’s roster if he was 20 years younger:
Riddle, McIntyre, Rollins, Owens, all of those guys. And, of course, the guys I work with: Cole, Gargano, Ciampa, Dream, Strong, O’Reilly, Fish. Any of those matches would be phenomenal.
His favorite RAW moment:
If I had to pick a favorite Raw moment, and that’s very tough to do, it would be Hunter and I with and Chyna when we were wearing the Christmas thongs. That sticks out to me because it had absolutely nothing to do with wrestling and it was so unbelievably silly. But it was our job that day, we actually called that ‘work.’ That’s still funny to me. It’s not something many people could say they do at work.
