Shawn Michaels Says He’s ‘Very Hands Off’ When It Comes To Documentaries About Him

Shawn Michaels discusses how much he has influenced documentaries made around his career in the world of pro wrestling.

A Peacock original documentary has been set to release on April 13th, featuring the life and career of Shawn Michaels. Despite being the focal point of the documentary, Michaels does not want to be in control of the product.

While speaking to Big Gold Media in a new interview, Shawn Michaels spoke about his new documentary, noting that he remains hands off when it comes to documentaries about him.

“I will say one of the things when it comes to these documentaries, I’m very hands off. Especially, I guess, this one, I was just curious how it was going to be different than the other ones, and I never like to be dismissive of, I don’t know, of my story by any stretch, but it felt like, ‘oh, well, we’ve kind of told it (all) before.’ How will this one be different? Obviously that was the idea is that it’s so much more focused on what it is we do in NXT and just how important and what a big part of certainly my life and even to some extent the life of my family, how big it is. So that was something that, again, that I was pleased to see that we would be focusing a lot on that because that is, again, the biggest part of my life right now, and having the opportunity to give back to an industry that’s been so good to me and to do it through the young men and women that come through our doors in NXT.”

Elsewhere in another recent interview, Shawn spoke about wanting to keep Je’Von Evans in WWE NXT for another six months. You can read more about that here.
