Top AEW star Swerve Strickland appeared on The Breakfast Club to talk about a number of topics, including reviewing some tape with WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels.
Strickland said, “I was like, Shawn, ‘Can I watch tape with you sometime, like an hour?’ He’s like, ‘Give me three matches, email them to me. I’ll pick one and we can watch it on Tuesday.’ Sure enough, he lived up to his word. We watched a match of me on the indies from like four years ago. He’s like, ‘I want to see the reason you got here. What’s the reason that we signed you to this contract to be here? I want to watch that.’ So we watched this stuff; he’s quiet just watching, watching. And guys like that, they’re not going to [have expressive reactions like] ‘Oh! Ah! Ah!’ No, they’re just going to watch. William Regal is very much like that too.”
On the feedback Michaels gave him:
“[Michaels] is texting me. He’s like, ‘Okay, they want to see you get a little more aggressive and stuff like that, so bring it next match.’”
