WWE NXT North American Champion “The Don Of NXT“ Tony D’Angelo appeared on “The Ringer” podcast to talk about a number of topics, including WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels.
D’Angelo said, “Shawn is all for the business. If you show him that you’re willing to work hard and willing to do what’s best for everything, he will help you. It’s HBK. Mr. WrestleMania. He’s the man. We’ll do film and whatnot. He just has ideas and sees things, three and a half years in the business, I wouldn’t see. His mind for the business is insane. He’s a genius. He’s always cooking. He’s awesome and has been great to me.”
On proving to Michaels that he’s willing to work:
“I have nothing but good things to say about the guy. He’s welcomed me into this business with open arms. Of course, I have to show him that I’m willing to work. I think I’ve proved that. Now, it’s about putting out what’s best and working together. I trust him to lead the ship when it comes to wrestling. I’m The Don still when it comes to my own stuff. He can do what he has to do, but I have to do what I have to do.”
