Michaels mentions that after he split with Marty Jannetty, being paired with Sensational Sherri was a huge deal for him. Sherri had only been paired with legitimized main-event acts prior to Michaels, so she played a huge role in adding legitimacy to his act early in his singles run. He admits that he wasn’t really confident in the “Heart Break Kid” moniker early on, feeling that it might be too “pretty boy”. Luckily WWE allowed him to grow into that role and he became more comfortable with it as time went on.
Michaels informs that he doesn’t really know the Young Bucks, but he’s very impressed by their work. He notes that those guys are probably making great money right now on the indies, but he truly hopes we get to see them in WWE before their career is done. He notes that by working and becoming stars in WWE you set yourself up for financial freedom even after your in-ring career ends, and he thinks that’s very important for workers today.
That sums up today’s episode of X-Pac 1, 2, 360. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
