Shawn doesn’t do many interviews, but whenever he does I always check it out right away. This is a great interview, Shawn seems really comfortable here.
shed a few tears at HBK's final match vs Taker at WM26. Shawn has had so many iconic moments in wrestling and he's definitely my favorite wrestler ever. Thank you for getting him on the pod Geordie
i’m so glad he’s turned his personality around, Shawn was probably one of the best wrestlers who would have fallen to to his demons. If he left with Scott and Kevin in 96, who knows where he would be now. It’s great he can give back to wrestling
He’s one of the reasons I got into wrestling and the wwe, going back and watching his iconic matches and ridiculous promos just brought instant entertainment. Great podcast 👏🏻👏🏻
Shawn Michaels is the greatest in-ring performer of all time and many other wrestlers will agree for a reason. The man had everything: looks, athleticism, mic skills... the "it" factor. There will never be another like him. No one has ever come close and will forever be my favorite. How he looked in the 90's will always be one of my main influences fitness-wise.
I totally agree. Prime 90s Micheals physic was outstanding and you can't get bigger than that naturally really.... as a kid his biceps always reminded me of bricks and to this day at 41 arm day in the gym I use those visual memories for inner focus hype.
Genuinely can't think of any other wrestler who's been a part of more straight up iconic and memorable matches. Easily one of the greatest of all time.
In the first couple of minutes you can really feel and see the emotions running through Brian whilst listening to Shawn Michaels. His eyes were full of admiration, memories and tears which is how every wrestling fan would be if they had the chance to meet HBK and talk to him.
HBK!!! A Childhood hero for so many people. I remember watching you, when you had your blue background ranting about Newcastle and now your pulling in guests like the heavyweight champion of the world, The undertaker and other inspiring people. Its crazy how far you've come, huge props
@@andrewthealphatate1155 Nobody will understand how good wwe was between 2002 and 2005. Nobody can take that away from me. The DVD's ... The memories. Best time of my life
Met a guy in McDonald's once at my first ever job, and he said when he was a kid he watched WWE live and Shawn Michaels gave him his glasses. Top dude, also my favourite wrestler!
My 1st memory of pro wrestling was HBK vs HHH, best friends, bitter enemies. Shawn instantly became my 1st favourite when I started watching WWE, wish he had more world title reigns. Big up Geordie for setting this up
@@justgreg92 good friends better enemies, was Shawn Vs diesel. I know he said bitter enemies, but I took it as he was mistaken because that was not a thing.
HBK is one of my biggest heroes in life, thank you for this interview Geordie!!! absolutely loved it! such a quality interview with brilliant questions as well!! Thank you!!!
I barely know anything about wrestling in the slightest, but I can just tell how much of a legend Shawn Michaels by how much Brian reveres him. Class stuff once again!
An absolute Icon of the wrestling world everyone growing up loved Shawn’s matches. Incredible to see how humble he is now as an older guy. As he says his ego made him who he was at the time along with his outrageously great character, bravado and ability. Also to hear him at Bret are friends after Montreal is a true definition of how time heals hate from your past. Everyone growing up loved this guy watching his matches even when he was a heal you always had that thing where you couldn’t not like him. Would love to hear Vince on for a podcast with you mate to hear his opinions on wrestlers he’s worked with over the years. Well done Brian another top interview 👏💙
It's surreal to see all of these amazing guests continue to come in, great work TG. Shawn really was THAT good, it's no wonder fans and his peers regard him so highly for his work, he was the ultimate performer.
Even being 12 during the attitude era. The only man i ever wanted to be was Shawn Michaels. Nobody else. Nothing was better than watching him come down for his intro and spinning in the ring into flex pose with fireworks. The arenas energy just changed. Cause everybody knew they was getting a show
What I admire him the most for is even when he was going through his problems with substances and his problems out of the ring, his in-ring work never suffered. He was still one of the best performers in the WWF up until he stopped wrestling for 4 years in 1998. When he returned in 2002, he was just as good, if not better.
It's been a joy watching Shawn's career. People forget that Shawn came into WWF right in the heart of Hulkamania in the 80's and worked through the big man era. And probably during the most competitive tag team era of the time as well I'd love to know where his head was at when he decided to ditch the Rockers and take on a solo career against the odds the moment he kicked Marty through that glass. I think that is the moment that started a change in the business to what it is today. And what a legacy! Amazing how he came back from the neck injury, sat out for a couple of years and had an amazing second half to his career also against all odds. Great interview.
Loved Shawn since I discovered wrestling aged about 5.. My Dad had a tape of The Rockers VS Natural Disasters and I can still see Shawn Hitting Earthquake with the most incredible dropkick from the top rope now.
Jordan. Ronaldo. Woods. Federer. Ali. O'Sullivan...... Shawn Micheals consistent body of work and calibre makes him the greatest ever in my view. One love HBK from England
Part of what made Shawn Michaels so great since his return in 2002 was his ability to steal matches and make his rivalries entertaining WITHOUT being the WWE Champion! :) Sure, he has been the challenger sometimes and I was always fingers crossed, believing this one could be the one! Especially around Wrestlemania 23 against Cena where he was THE guy, or in his great rivalry against Jericho (really great together). I wish we could hear him a bit about Chris Benoit but I guess we won't as long as he will be a part of the business. HBK is the greatest wrestler and sport entertainer for me and while many fans remember him from the 90's, I have always been way more impressed by what he delivered since 2002 and the 10 years that followed :). Thank you Shawn :)
I couldn't agree more with you. He also wrestled better performers after 2002. Wrestlers were not as athletics in the 90s as they were in the 2000s. The dream match that never happened HBK vs AJ Styles. Imagine that.
@@jonazmunoz8247 Would have been great :). Now AJ Styles is like many others: he has been champion and since then, nothing really interesting ^^'. The same for Kofi Kingston, etc. Seems like the WWE likes making everyone champion but once they are not anymore, they lose interest :/. Speaking of dream match, if I remember correctly, we should have had Shawn Michaels VS Eddie Guerrero at Wrestlemania 22 (instead of Vince McMahon). Could have been a great rivalry :)
@@shawnmichaelsdu85 I agree. Would have been a very competitive match. As far as WWE, now being a champ doesn't carry the weight it once did. Most champs back then are some of the best of all times.
@@jonazmunoz8247 yeah the talent pool definitely got better during his 2nd run. I always like to imagine 95-97 hbk, when he was a better athlete, wrestling in 02
My favourite wrestler evert growing up. To see him on the podcast I have listened to since episode 1 and every episode since really has put a smile on my face. Keep the podcasts coming always enjoyable.
I wasn't the biggest wrestling fan, but Shawn Michaels' last crusade against Undertaker was something I followed deeply since it was just so entertaining. The last match was my favorite of all time. Wrestling has never topped that for me.
Shawn was always one of my favourite wrestlers. I used to love the rockers when I was a kid. One of my first wrestling memories was him putting Marty Jannetty through the barbershop window.
I have always been a wrestling fan and listen to a lot of the interviews and podcasts that wrestlers are in but you do terrific job interviewing these guys. I will have to check out your other stuff besides wrestling too.
I seen Shawn Michaels live at Whitley Bay Ice Rink in around 1992/93. This was I think the first time the wwf had toured the UK. I remember he wrestled Bob backlund. Also there that night were Kamala, doink, crush, yokozuna, Jim duggan, nasty boys, head shrinkers, Bush wackers, Mr perfect and finally lex luger.
@Jay Thorrson Yeah I was massively into wrestling at that point and had been for a few years. I used to skate regular so when I seen the poster on the door, I rushed home to ask my parents to take me. If I'd went on the second date, I'd have seen Bret Hart & The Undertaker. I wasn't dissapointed though.
@@magsxx9735 I watched that interview too! It was great but was a long time ago, and that time was kinda weird cause shawn was struggling to sentenced out a whole answer, but he's much much better now as you can see here and you're right, wouldnt mind to see them in the same room again.. it'd be awesome!!
Loved this! Shawn was always my favourite as a kid and teenager. I wanted to be hbk so bad haha, true legend of the business. Next up can you interview Drew McIntyre (the big Scotsman) or Bobby Lashley with his mma, wrestling and body building experience would make for good banter

Brian how on earth have u pulled this off?! Legend.
He's got the undertaker on before
Big taker pulled the connections card love it 🔥
It’s not that sort of podcast he only had a conversation with the guy
@@tobiasking5696 still, he managed to get him on
@@bobcatman0121 yeah really enjoyed that one too
Shawn doesn’t do many interviews, but whenever he does I always check it out right away. This is a great interview, Shawn seems really comfortable here.
Same I love to see how rekishi's bum effected his cross eyes and dug a hole in his upper lip part
Yeah, Shawn is not a great speaker in these interviews usually, but Brian really brings out the best in him. Great interview
He's a good interviewer, when he interviewed Taker I could see Taker really appreciated being given time to speak without interruptions.
This man was my childhood hero. For me the greatest of all time. So happy for you Brian!
He was mine along with Hogan when I was young. When he was with the Rockers
one of my favourite wrestlers of all time
He was my favourite wrestler
No way you got HBK on the podcast :) Thank You True Geordie!!!
All fun and games untill marti jeneti walks in the room
@@terrorgaming459 Eh, he really cant walk these days between the drugs, alcohol, and his messed-up ankles.
shed a few tears at HBK's final match vs Taker at WM26. Shawn has had so many iconic moments in wrestling and he's definitely my favorite wrestler ever. Thank you for getting him on the pod Geordie
i remember crying as taker tombstoned him and then pinning him, my older brother had to calm me down.
@@fivefootseven sad that shawn last match wasn't the mania one in retrospect.
These guests are getting better and better. Been here since day 1, wow. As a wrestling fan too I'm so excited for this
🔥🔥🔥
i’m so glad he’s turned his personality around, Shawn was probably one of the best wrestlers who would have fallen to to his demons. If he left with Scott and Kevin in 96, who knows where he would be now. It’s great he can give back to wrestling
Aww the part with Bret and Shawn texting each other on their birthdays and anniversaries is too sweet. I’m glad they made up❤
That's god for you
Growing older and forgiveness can go hand in hand
He’s one of the reasons I got into wrestling and the wwe, going back and watching his iconic matches and ridiculous promos just brought instant entertainment. Great podcast 👏🏻👏🏻

Really surprised how Nice Shawn comes across, he genuinely looked interested in talking with you too😊
Legend. Grew up watching this guy, his athleticism, dedication and showmanship is top class
HBK!!! A Childhood hero for so many people. I remember watching you, when you had your blue background ranting about Newcastle and now your pulling in guests like the heavyweight champion of the world, The undertaker and other inspiring people. Its crazy how far you've come, huge props
Shawn is the reason i grew up loving WWF/WWE
WHAT THE....this is incredible.
Shawn freakin Michael's!!!
Gotta get the rattlesnake on here, Stone Cold.
He was my hero, I watched him between 2002 - 2010. HBK Legend..
His overrated

@@andrewthealphatate1155 ok and ? overrated or underrated is the most meaningless thing ever
@@Ladioz but his underrated!
What a guest!!! The greatest of all time.
no way never thought my idol would be on this podcast. HBK the greatest of all time.
He has one on Jericho’s podcast as well. 2 I think. Good listen
@@JimmyTKid bet. will check them out
Thank you for this interview. HBK is the greates of all time.
Massive podcast. Love to hear Shawn in this setting as he’s a guy we don’t hear much about outside the industry. Well done Brian 👏🏻
Can't believe it's 20 years this summer when shawn made his comeback. Time really does fly!
that’s crazy your right
Met a guy in McDonald's once at my first ever job, and he said when he was a kid he watched WWE live and Shawn Michaels gave him his glasses. Top dude, also my favourite wrestler!
Badass interview, HBK even dressed up for it with the sport coat! Great job
I love how you always let the guest speak without interruption and it really seems like you listen to every word they say
People don’t normally do taht
Because he’s genuinely a fan. Doesn’t just interview for interview’s sake
@@GoGetYourShinebox true
My youtube recommendations have led me to my kind of people:) love HBK!!
My 1st memory of pro wrestling was HBK vs HHH, best friends, bitter enemies. Shawn instantly became my 1st favourite when I started watching WWE, wish he had more world title reigns. Big up Geordie for setting this up
I remember watching summer slam 2002 when HBK returned and beat HHH!
That was Kevin Nash.
@@siddave549 Ruthless Aggression Era was my era
@@Bobby.2000 no it wasn’t
@@justgreg92 good friends better enemies, was Shawn Vs diesel. I know he said bitter enemies, but I took it as he was mistaken because that was not a thing.
When Shawn started talking about selling moves the first thing that came to mind was the match with hogan, where he was overselling every move.🤣🤣🤣
HBK is one of my biggest heroes in life, thank you for this interview Geordie!!! absolutely loved it! such a quality interview with brilliant questions as well!!
Thank you!!!

The 🐐 of wrestling.
Shawn Michaels is a great guy.
Great interview, Shawn is the absolute goat. Bell to bell to this day nobody has been better. Wrestling misses ol'HBK
I think bret was the better wrestler.

*LOVE THE PODCASTS!* 👌
Loved Shawn since I discovered wrestling aged about 5.. My Dad had a tape of The Rockers VS Natural Disasters and I can still see Shawn Hitting Earthquake with the most incredible dropkick from the top rope now.
Your old skool like me.. Shame true geordie's wrestling knowledge only goes back to Razor Ramon vs HBK ladder match..
It feels so good to see my childhood hero doing good for himself these days, and idc how old I get, this man will always be my hero and idol 💪💔🐐
Nah my man didn't just drop a podcast with a legend just like that
Bruh this is sickkkkk love the podcasts
Jordan. Ronaldo. Woods. Federer. Ali. O'Sullivan...... Shawn Micheals consistent body of work and calibre makes him the greatest ever in my view. One love HBK from England
Shawn will always be the goat. Saw his real final match at Wrestlemania 26, best live event I ever went to! Thank you Shawn
Wish we could hear him talk more about the greatest match that never happened. HBK vs The Rock
Watching Geordie for years now back when he was on Kicktv. So happy for you Brian.
you look so genuinely happy to be talking to a real hero and its very heartwarming True. i would be the same too
This is truly Mind blowing Mr Wrestlemania himself. A childhood favourite. but bringing up Scott Hall is still heartbreaking to me.
Undertaker is mr wrestlemania
Shawn Michaels is the goat
Even my grandma knew who he was and she has been dead for 20 years.
He is my all time favourite wrestler

We need more WWE interviews.
Thank you for this and The Taker one.
When Shawn returned and had that match against HHH after his long lay off/ retirement. The level was unbelievable one of my fav matches.
Petition to have HBK be interviewed on the broken skull with Austin, this interview was awesome and it'd be cool to see them catch up and stuff!!🔥🔥
Shawn actually did an interview with Steve a few years back but I wouldn’t mind seeing another one
@@magsxx9735 I watched that interview too!

Never in a Million Guesses would l have guessed this Collaboration.
But it was a good Back and forth
Cheers mate 💯
Unreal! Hopefully this opens the door even more to other legends, after seeing HBK and Taker enjoy their time on the podcast. Love to see it!
What a video Brian, shawn's an icon to me personally i love wrestling and Shawn and DX where a big part of that so thank you for this video!
Shawn Michaels was my favourite such a legend
Cheers for doing this both of you. Much appreciated. Dan
Shawn was my actual hero growing up, thankyou Geordie you fucking hero
This was a fantastic interview. Well done Brian.
Fair play getting hbk on the show, a living legend
The greatest of all time !
Brian I came on TH-cam for something completely different today, but my whole world stopped when I saw you got The SHOWSTOPPER on!!! Amazing
Wtf Brian, this is awsome man,real Motivation !!!
Used to watch you,Lawrence, McKola way back in some small room now here you are with the HBK!!!💪🏽💪🏽
Loved this! Shawn was always my favourite as a kid and teenager. I wanted to be hbk so bad haha, true legend of the business.
Next up can you interview Drew McIntyre (the big Scotsman) or Bobby Lashley with his mma, wrestling and body building experience would make for good banter
what the actual F**k!! the legendary showstopper on the true geordie podcast! as a 90s kid and a hardcore attitude era fan you’ve made my day 🏴
He was part of my childhood. Unfortunately retired after a few years watching him. What an Icon
When did you start watching
That was ace man! HBK is one of my favourite ever to watch.
Genuinely believe you should do a wrestling series of podcasts if you are able to get these legends on. Reliving my childhood with these podcasts.
this is like listening to Wayne Gretzky talking about hockey!
Great interview, I liked that you took the generic topics and looked at them from angles that haven’t really been talked about
grew up watching shawn imo he got waaay better coming back in 2002 and is a top.5 all timer.
Great interview hbk is a legend
Great guest..Shawn was my introduction to wrestling to. But it was wrestlemania 6 when he was in the rockers vs the orient express.
Good times
Oh my god absolutely fantastic guest. I can't wait to watch this later. Congratulations. Smashing it mate. 🖤🤍
Mad how far the pods come, keep them coming Brian looking forward to this one!
Brian, these podcasts are top tier, i really hope you can get more GOAT wrestlers on, so sick.
This is is amazing 😍 This man was such a large part of my childhood.
Hes wearing a san antonio Jersey under a suit jacket, I love him so much
lol HBK is the ultimate fashion icon
