While speaking to USA Today, Shawn Michaels discussed the angle where DX invaded WCW Nitro and his reaction to the segment.

“I was a guy, at that time, watching that as a fan. That was after I had hurt my back and left, and so I was home watching that as a fan. I have to tell you, as a guy sitting there at home watching it, not calling anybody and finding out what’s going on, it was huge. I can remember sitting there thinking ‘Oh my goodness, that is genius.’ And that they were doing that … for me it was absolutely one of the greatest moments, I think, in wrestling history, period. And ooh, it almost stings a little bit to say that because I wasn’t a part of it.

“That was just something you didn’t see. You could talk about it all day, you could reference somebody on TV. Think of it [like], it’s no different at the Oscars if somebody says something mean about the president. It’s a whole other thing to, during the State of the Union, you walk up on stage while he’s talking and say something do him. Nobody does that. That’s what these guys were doing. They were going to the back door of the competition and knocking on the door, and they weren’t answering. It was absolutely huge.”

The reason Becky Lynch was viciously attacked by Ruby Riot, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan on Tuesday’s episode of SmackDown Live was a way to write her off WWE television.

We noted earlier today that Becky Lynch will be apart of the next installment of The Marine movie franchise along with The Miz and Shawn Michaels. This angle was in place as a way for her to take time off from weekly WWE programming.

As of this writing, there is no timeline for her return but we will keep you updated.

Bret Hart recently spoke with Calgary Herald. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Punching Vince McMahon backstage after the Montreal Screwjob: “It was only one punch but it was such a beautiful punch. Of all the things I’ve ever done in my life, it was the sweetest, most beautiful punch anyone could ever throw. It was just amazing. The whole memory of it brings a smile to my face. I just maybe wish that I’d mopped the floor with Triple H and Shawn Michaels both at the same time right after. That would have been ideal. … I think what it really amounted to was a case of Vince — and he’s a very macho kind of guy — he wanted to back me down in front of everybody in the dressing room and show that he was the boss and save face. So he took it upon himself to put himself in a physical situation, which was laughable. But he put himself in that situation and I knocked him out.”

Being lied to by people he worked with: “To be lied to and screwed over legitimately by people that I had worked so hard for, I think it’s always been a black eye on them, not me. Everything I said was true, everything that I said happened, it happened the way it did.”

Goals when he got into wrestling: “I got into wrestling to make some money, see the world, and meet girls. I accomplished that. Those were my initial goals. When I look back on everything, I’m really amazed by my career. I had so many wonderful guys that I worked with and great matches, that’s what was most important to me — and the fans. I had a great fan base across the country and around the world.”
