Shawn Michaels was recently a guest on the Xpac 12360 show. He spoke on a wide variety of topics about both his current work for NXT and his wrestling career.

Here are some of the highlights from the interview (h/t to PWTorch).
Shawn on his thoughts on the Young Bucks and them potentially coming to WWE one day:
“I have met them {Young Bucks} but it was a pretty brief encounter but you know I hear great things about them, you know phenomenal workers and that Kenny Omega kid. I get it that people don’t wanna be part of the WWE for one reason or another… and I totally 100 percent understand that… I just want the most talented guys that are doing this line of work to be able to do it in a place where they can reap the most rewards. There are people that think they are making a phenomenal living away from the WWE and I have no doubt that they are but I still hope there comes a day where all these guys will come to the WWE and have the opportunity to do it on a bigger stage. I enjoy the world being able to appreciate what is we do. And if you can do it at a phenomenal level, I’d like everybody to see that and WWE is the place where you can show that and that’s not to take anything away from everybody else… if a dude like me can make a living surely those guys can”
On how he got the job working for NXT:
“Hunter mentioned to me that we (NXT) have a whole lot of people who haven’t been where you’ve been and what you have done. “I just feel like you’ll bring in a different perspective. You’ve done a lot of WrestleMania; You’ve been through a lot of experiences good, bad, and otherwise. There is a value in that, a lot of do’s and don’ts good and bads. You certainly can help guys face every possible situation that they’re going to come up against.”
