Shawn Michaels Q&A: 10 Things We Learned

4. His Opinion Of His Wrestlemania Matches

Throughout the night Shawn was asked about his different Wrestlemania matches, specifically his matches with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle & Undertaker. Firstly, Shawn wanted to dispell the myth that Undertaker had threatened to beat up Shawn if he didn't lose to Stone Cold at Wrestlemania 14 as planned. He said that never happened. He didn't deny being difficult to work with however, and had purposely been obnoxious; however, he did say that he never seriously thought about trying to screw Austin over. When asked about his matches with Jericho & Angle, he said it's not exactly difficult to have a great match when the guy across the ring is as talented as they were. He did have reservations about wrestling the two however, especially at Wresltemania. He felt that because of all the hype surrounding the matches, and because they were dubbed 'dream matches', that they'd have a lot to live up to. His match with Kurt Angle was especially nerve-wracking because they had had so little interaction beforehand. He was thankful that the matches turned out well, again citing the talents of Jericho & Angle. Of course, his match with Undertaker at Wrestemania 25 came up. Shawn claimed that he could tell pretty much immediately that he and Undertaker had achieved something special. He spoke about how only ever watches his PPV matches, and only ever watches them once. After watching his match with Undertaker he felt that although there's no such thing as a perfect wrestling match, that that was the closest he'd ever come to it.
