Shawn Michaels Says He’d Only Return To The Ring For One Reason

WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels was interviewed by Fox News to promote his new faith-based movie The Resurrection of Gavin Stone.

He talked about why he retired from the ring in 2010–to spend more time with his kids.

"I learned very early that you don't get time back," Michaels shared. "I'd miss my children growing up so that's the reason I retired. I knew I'd never get those years back."

But Michaels isn't kidding himself. He knows that he was put on this earth to entertain the people in the middle of a wrestling ring.

"We all have gifts and I guess all the rocket scientists were given away by the time I got there," he joked. "[My gift] was in the world of the WWE and I'm thankful for that."

He says that he doesn't have a hankering to have another match–"No, I don't want to go back and wrestle again…"–but there is one reason he acknowledges he might end up doing it one day.

"Some big bubble could break and I might need money like everybody else. It's wrestle or bag groceries — [that's] all I'm qualified to do."

Hey, we all do stuff we're not proud of when we're broke.
