Natalya Comments on If Chyna Will be Inducted into WWE’s Hall of Fame
A recent episode of the Cerrito Live show on Memphis radio station Sports 56/87.7 had Natalya as the guest and one of the topics discussed included her thoughts on if Chyna will eventually be inducted into WWE’s Hall of Fame.
“I think that one day it will definitely happen. She really paved an incredible road for the women of the WWE and she was so unique. If you look back at those great memories of her, she really defined coloring outside the lines and being bold and bright and beautiful.
She was a pioneer for the women’s movement in general. So, I think definitely one day we’ll see it. A lot of people have said, ‘We should have this person in the Hall of Fame. And we should have this person in. And that tag team should be in.’ The thing is that WWE is not going anywhere. WWE is going to be around for a long, long time so everybody, I believe, is going to get their due and I believe Chyna will be one of them.”
Shawn Michaels on Why He Wrestled at Crown Jewel and Not Being Interested in Wrestling Again
A recent episode of the Sky Sports’ Lock Up podcast show had Shawn Michaels as the guest discussing the reason why he wrestled at last November’s WWE Crown Jewel event and the future of his active wrestling career.
On the topic of wrestling at last November’s WWE Crown Jewel event, Michaels stated he felt fine with coming out of retiring for one match due to it being a very special occasion.
“They forced me,” Michaels joked to Sky Sports’ Lock Up podcast. “No, it was a really special thing and I really felt that one for a while. I’m good with what I’ve done.”
On the topic of the future of his wrestling career, Michaels stated he no longer wants to wrestle and instead is more interested in training WWE’s younger stars so that they can have their own memorable careers.
“I no longer want to do it any more, the only thing better than having your own Wrestlemania moment is watching and helping someone with theirs.
We had our time, we know the potential of so many of these men and women and we know the joy they can have and we want to pass it on.”
