Logan, a big fan of the Heartbreak Kid, expressed interest in training with the legendary wrestler … and on Thursday the men finally got together at the WWE Performance Center in Florida.
“Just getting a chance to speak with him, clearly, he’s a bright young man,” Shawn says, adding, “He’s fully committed to what he does, and certainly fully committed to this, and I appreciate that.”
Physically, Michaels was also impressed … “[Logan’s] clearly athletic as heck. So he’s naturally gifted in a lot of areas.”
And, because Logan was such a good student, Shawn had a blast.
“It was a heckuva lot of fun. I thought it was incredibly productive. I will say I’m someone who knows of him, but didn’t know too much about him, but I’ve come to appreciate and like him quite a bit cause again he’s very passionate about this and committed, and again, when you got that kind of moldable clay to work with, it’s really fun.”
As far as working together in the future, Shawn says he’s open and willing to train Logan again.
“Our performance center down here will be open to him anytime, and if there’s anything I can do to help him,” Michaels says.
“This is what we do here, this is what I’ve certainly committed the rest of my career to which is helping the future, and if he wants to be a part of that, he gets the same treatment that everybody else is gonna get. I’ll give you the best I got, and whatever I can help you with, I’d be more than happy to.”
