WWE Hall of Famer "The Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels recently appeared on GV Wire’s ‘Off the Bottom Rope to talk about a number of topics such as the criticism he and fellow WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart received for their Iron Man Match at WrestleMania 12 as well as how if two other wrestlers other than Bret and himself were the ones competing in the Iron Man Match, then they wouldn't receive as much of a criticism as them.
Shawn Michaels said:
“Hindsight is 20/20, especially for the people that didn’t do it, you know what I mean? Understanding the business now and just the the tempo of the business now certainly was different. Do I think (the criticism is) a little unfair? Obviously, I do. I think if it were somebody else other than myself, and Bret was doing it with somebody else, I think they probably might not get quite the hard time. I always more so appreciated the risk that we were willing to take as performers to go out there and do that hour match at that time. Again, in the business, that was a huge risk from a company standpoint. It’s very challenging from a performance standpoint to do that. For anybody … to knock it, obviously, as somebody who’s never done it.”
Shawn Michaels also talked about the chemistry he had with fellow WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle.
Shawn Michaels said:
“The time limit, what we got to do, the placement on the show, the story we were in, a number of different elements add to that … just the unbelievable chemistry that he and I had.”
