Shawn Michaels Says WWE Wants Him to Wrestle at WrestleMania 32, Reveals Why He Turned Down an Offer to Join the WWE Creative Team & More

April 16, 2015

Shawn Michaels was the special guest on this week’s edition of “The Ross Report,” hosted by Jim Ross, and the subject of WWE wanting Michaels to return to the company in an in-ring capacity came up.

When asked by JR if WWE might try to get guys like him and Steve Austin to appear at WrestleMania 32 since it’s in Texas, Michaels answered simply by saying “I’ve already had an offer. I’ve enjoyed being retired.”

An offer to appear at WrestleMania 32 is apparently not the only thing WWE has asked Michaels, as HBK revealed he has also been asked to be a part of the WWE creative team.

“It wouldn’t be a great fit for me,” Michaels admitted. “There’d be a lot of stifling going on. I’ve been able to sway them on things other people couldn’t. I’d be open to the Pat Patterson gig, where you have a couple of projects and you could write in from home about it. If you’re going to be there every week, you might as well go back and be an on-air character and make more money.”

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
