"HB2K" MICHAEL
SHANE
-- Shawn Michaels
was somebody he watched over and over as a child, and he is the person he
based his style off of.
-- Michael trained
for 3 months in Shawn's school with the trainers being Rudy Gonzales (head
trainer - who still runs it to this day) and Paul Diamond.
-- He says he was
offered a contract from WWE twice at around the time they bought WCW. Since
they just inherited all of these new guys to the roster, he feels he was
moved down the pecking order and it never worked out.
-- Shane says he
also worked a tryout for WCW Worldwide and they wanted to sign him, but after
that WCW was bought so there was no more WCW to sign for.
-- Michael says
he'd just been in the business 3 or 4 months when he went over to FMW in
Japan. He said his matches weren't the best, but it was a great learning
experience.
-- On the topic
of working matches Paul London in RoH, Shane says he "loved them". He hopes
to see him on Monday or Thursday nights soon.
-- He says he's
having fun with Francine in MLW, but that will stay in MLW as crossing her
into TNA won't be happening anytime soon.
-- His greatest
memory from the Ultimate X match was in his mind, the finish where he grabbed
the belt. The winning of that match is his current career highlight, since
he won such a prestigious title in the X title.
-- If he was offered
to wrestle a Ladder or Ultimate X match, he'd choose Ultimate X, since Ladder
matches are "kinda getting killed" currently. He wants the next X match to
be not for a while though.
-- There is a
possibility of seeing him in WWE in the future, but in the short term TNA
have put the X belt on him so he's happy there.
-- He will be under
NWA:TNA contract shortly.
-- In the long run,
he can't see being Shawn Michaels' cousin hindering him at all. His persona
is to be a "cocky pr*ck", and so being able to shove how he was trained "by
the best" in people's faces helps his gimmick tremendously.
-- Shane says he'd
love to work AJ Styles and Raven down the line. He worked with Raven in a
Tag match in MLW, but hasn't been in the ring with him.
-- We then do word
associations with names such as Raven, Chris Sabin, Frankie Kazarian, CM
Punk, Francine and of course Shawn Michaels.
-- Shane closes
out by thanking his fans for their continued support, and saying to check
out both the 1 cent TNA pay per view this coming Wednesday (more information
available at nwatna.com) as well as his website,
michaelshaneonline.cjb.net.
-- To find out more
about Michael Shane, his website once again is
michaelshaneonline.cjb.net.
PLUS, a huge long
recap talking about the interview and other random things!
