, Flair & More

An Evening with Shawn Michaels" in Manchester, United Kingdom
last Monday. The night was originally supposed to be hosted by
Jim Ross, but JR and HBK did the show together on stage. Below
are some more highlights from Scott, we will have the final set
of highlights from the Q&A tomorrow.
* Shawn talks about how he came up with the entire match with
Ric Flair at WrestleMania 24 and how it came to him in the
middle of the night. He jumped out of bed and wrote down the
finish and how he was going to mouth saying, "I'm sorry, I love
you."
* JR says Flair didn't want to retire and that Shawn was picked
as the guy to end Flair's WWE run and his career on a whole.
* JR says that he could have done a lot more with the Flair -
Michaels match at WrestleMania 24 and felt he dropped the ball
that night.
* JR noted that he never watches anything back of his work at
all. He said someone told him that his WrestleMania 17
performance with Paul Heyman was great, but that he has never
watched the show and probably won't.
* There is talk of Shawn working a long program with Randy
Savage from 1993-1994 and then Savage would have become a
commentator, which Lanny Poffo mentioned on the WWE Randy Savage
DVD that was released last year. Shawn says that he never heard
of it and that he and Randy were pretty close and he never once
mentioned it to him. Shawn talks about how they worked together
one time in England in 1992, but it was very early on in the HBK
run.
* Shawn was asked about his supposed WrestleMania 22 match with
Eddie Guerrero. Shawn says that he was told about all of his
matches and had some input into them, and says that he was never
once told that Eddie was going to be his opponent.
• Shawn reveals that he was asked a number of times to have the
WWE World title during his second run, but he turned it down due
to the schedule that a champion needs to fulfill.
• Shawn reveals that he was offered a major role at WrestleMania
32 but he turned it down because he simply feels like there is
nothing left for him to do. He says he has loads more left in
the tank, but that he has had enough. He said if you have a gun
you don't fire everything in it.
* JR talks about how he didn't like knowing what was going to
happen, he says that he felt it was more real when you didn't
know what was coming. Some of today's commentators want to know
step by step.
* JR was asked about the full role of being a natural heel. JR
said that heels need to embrace it more, and he told about how
William Regal loves being a heel and embraces it. He said being
a heel is something that Regal gets a kick out of and it gives
his character what it needs to develop. JR made everyone laugh
when he said he told Paul Heyman you are just a natural heel,
and Paul said thank you, to which JR replied, "yeah, your just
so easy to hate Paul."
* JR reveals that he was filming some footage for a DVD on Owen
Hart when his phone rang and rang; he said filming had to stop
as his phone would not stop ringing. When he looked at his
phone, he had 45 message telling him that Dusty Rhodes had
passed away. JR tells that he is writing a book due out next
year, and he says he will sit and watch the night we lost Owen
one more time, purely for revision for the book.
* JR talks about Dusty Rhodes and says Dusty was himself 24-7,
there was no fake, and that you could trust Dusty with anything.

It would be nice to see him back in a WWE ring for one last
match . But for some reason he has said he will not be coming
back any time soon
