Shawn Michaels says comments from Vince McMahon not about Daniel Bryan

As noted earlier, Shawn Michaels recently revealed during an interview with the Ministry of Slam podcast that he had a conversation with Vince McMahon, who said that he doesn’t “see money” in an anonymous WWE Superstar. Bryan Alvarez of Figure Four Weekly reported that the person McMahon was referring to could have been Daniel Bryan.

Shawn Michaels took to Twitter to deny that claim, stating that Vince was big on Bryan and that the person he was referring to “is actually 6’3 250.”

“That [Bryan] isn’t even who we were talking about,” Michaels wrote. “He’s big on DB. Shame y’all let those folks work you like that… No, the guy is actually 6’3 250, ironically, y’all miss the same point he did. Amusing since everyone’s knocking him.”

When asked who he was referring to in the interview, Michaels replied, “I would have said if I thought relevant. Not DB tho.”

Here are Michaels’ original comments on the Ministry of Slam podcast:

“I had a conversation a couple of weeks ago with the man in charge and we were talking about a certain individual and he goes, ‘I just don’t see money in him.’ And I said, ‘You said the same thing about me.’ He said, ‘I did not.’ I said, ‘Yes you did!’ (laughs) I said, ‘And it’s okay. It’s just one of those things.’

“I wasn’t your prototypical – heck, I wasn’t anybody’s prototypical main event guy, and I knew that. So, you just do your absolute best. Yes, I was very scared and very worried, which had a lot to do with how bad I handled stuff. I spent a great deal of my career waiting for the other shoe to drop, because it was a very real view of me and my ability and talent. I’m a firm believer that talent does rise to the top, but you have to be patient. So, I spent a great deal of time worried, intimidated, and concerned that with each passing storyline, it might be the last one.”
