This Saturday, WWE legend Shawn Michaels will be at ringside as his DX partner Triple H takes on The Undertaker in a final encounter. The WWE Hall of famer joined Inside the Ropes and talked about the biggest temptation he's ever had to return to the ring:
"It was probably about four years after I retired, there was an idea that was, it was with 'Taker again," revealed Michaels. "But it was just from a creative standpoint, it was easily the most intriguing idea, one of those ones where my wife said, 'oh, that's pretty cool.' And that was the one, when I said no, she said 'you really are done.'"
The WrestleMania in question was 30, the night that Brock Lesnar shocked the world by snapping the undefeated streak. Michaels further discussed why he’s decided to remain retired and used an analogy to painting a picture:
"It's because it just felt so…complete. It felt like I had spent 25 years painting this picture and then all of a sudden one day I stood back and I looked at it and said the picture is done. I sat there and looked at it and I thought, 'I like it.' I thought it was beautiful and I just signed my name at the bottom and said, 'that's it.'"
