Rumor Killers On Shawn Michaels Heat With Triple H And Jeff Jarrett Almost Fighting The Rock

Several readers pointed out that some sites have been spreading incorrect stories from some recent interviews with Shawn Michaels and Jeff Jarrett. It appears as if these sites are randomly making up quotes to increase page hits, or that they are blindly copying and pasting content.

We noted that HBK was recently on The RCWR Show and was asked if he would come out of retirement at Triple H's request for his retirement match. At least one site wrote that Shawn Michaels said that he and Triple H were "not on the best of terms," and that Michaels doesn't "agree with things that he's doing." Michaels never said anything of the sort. His exact quote was:

"Well obviously I think I'd consider it but I guess I know my buddy well enough I don't think he'd ask. But of course, let's put it this way, I've had some folks already ask me some pretty moving things about their last matches or matches they've wanted. I've given all of them some thought but again, to your point earlier about 'you have a great body of work', I want to keep that body of work. I just feel like I left on as close to a perfect situation as you can and I always just I want to make sure that I honor that and take care of that. So, certainly, I'd consider it because he's my buddy, and I'd do anything for my buddy so it'd be something that we'd certainly discuss but I think he'd understand if I turned it down."

Jeff Jarrett was interviewed by the NOE Wrestling Live! podcast and was very complimentary about The Rock, and said that if he could build GFW around any inactive wrestler, it would be Dwayne Johnson. One site stated that Jarrett also said that he "personally couldn't stand" The Rock, and that they "almost came to blows backstage several times in WWE." Again, that is completely false and Jarrett only had positive things to say about The Rock. Jarrett said:

"In my opinion, this is a no brainer. When you have a guy that is 3rd generation, knows the business inside and out and comes up and becomes the hottest box office attraction in the world – The Rock. I mean he's on a completely different level. He's a movie star, a great athlete and a great wrestler. I think you'd have to absolutely start with him. Then you go back a couple generations and look at the great wrestlers like Buddy Rogers, Jerry Lawler... the Von Erichs... but you'd have to go Rock. Then you know, Hulk Hogan. His record speaks for itself. He had Hulkamania and then was right back on top 15 years later with the nWo."
