Shawn Michaels appreciates the journey he’s been on and Kevin Nash was a major part of that when it came both outside and inside the squared circle.
In light of a new episode of Untold premiering tonight on the WWE Network featuring “Two Dudes With Attitude,” HBK spoke with TMZ Sports about how he and Big Daddy Cool Diesel elevated one another between the ropes.
“Kevin was a really big part of my life and really, obviously of my career in taking my singles career, and I would arguably say to that main event level,” said Shawn. “I felt like I was doing pretty darn well transitioning from Sherri to myself, but it was sort of in that Intercontinental Championship area and then I think as Kevin joined me in that time, we were able to take one another to another level within the WWE and when you’re in it doing it, it all happens very fast and you don’t really have a time to look back and think about that, so every time they come with these documentaries it’s always fun to be able to take some time and focus and talk about the appreciation you have for that time.”
“I think everybody would know by now there certainly were times where we brought the best from in-the-ring standpoint and taking ourselves to another level, but personally we were kind of troublemakers,” Michaels adds. As far as the two’s most memorable memories go, Shawn cites with how the duo became to be in WWE.
“The way it came about. I had seen him on WCW as Vinnie Vegas. I can remember at that time coming off believing that Andrew Dice Clay was the funniest guy and he sort of had an aspect of that in Vinnie Vegas and seeing it and then of course quite some time later talking to Rick Steiner about it and him mentioning him and wanting to have a bodyguard.
Shawn sees that the ‘Two Dudes” alliance was all a part of a grander plan.
“In the real world to all you guys call them ‘coincidence’ me in my faith world I sort of look at everything as placed in a certain way to bring me on the path where I eventually went and Kevin was obviously a huge part of that.”
