Favorite Quotes from Shawn Michaels

“Man, I have absolutely zero ability to narrow absolutely any of my favorites into just one, but I have to say, I gotta go between Undertaker and Triple H. Other than all the obvious reasons, but the biggest one for me, those are the only two guys, I could make a mistake, and it would be okay.” – Shawn Michaels

“Back in my day in the WWF oh.. the WW EEEEE, we had it all. We had sanitation workers. We had them all. But we had one thing that was real, and that was me” – Shawn Michaels

“I was always hurting to some extent but never really cared about it. Now, I do care because I have a reason to be healthy. I want to be able to chase my son around the yard; I want to be able to chase my wife around the house.” – Shawn Michaels

“Don’t think The Undertaker and Triple H need Shawn Michaels to deliver a spectacular match or make this incredibly interesting. Those two can do that on their own. Right now, as far as I’m concerned, I’m going to be there watching it like everyone else.” – Shawn Michaels

“It wasn’t until 2002 when I returned to WWE and until I had physically been out there – it was during the match when Kevin Nash blew his quad.
