I like how open he is about his faith without sounding like he's insisting on it.
I freaking love Shawn Michaels. He'll always be my favourite wrestler, despite his flaws in the past. He's a great entertainer.
He seems like a fun guy with a positive outlook. Doesn't suck the air out of the room like a lot of older wrestlers.
ya cause most of them are all drugged up and broken inside and out.
+caleblich2 Are you saying a lot of older wrestlers aren't bitter emotional wrecks who externalize all blame for their lack of money, trusted friends, health, and happiness?
+Reviresco He seems like a typical southern guy who, over the years, just so happened to fuck over a lot of reasonable people, just for the kickbacks. He either acts charming because he regrets his transgressions or he just wants to avoid as many repercussions as possible. It's probably a little bit of both things, actually.
+StephenAndrew777 why should he care? he's made his peace and most guys he seems to be on ok terms with now. The man was a genius.
and clean off drugs too..
Sam is slowly moving in on Dave Meltzer. Meltzer vs Roberts Wm33 in a typewriter on a pole match!
LOL! the only thing that can probably save WM this year
NOICE
LOL
Shawn Michaels seems like an extremely likeable guy these days.
I was lucky enough to be able to meet him a few years ago at a Convention and he struck me as an incredibly sweet & humble guy. Everyone was bringing replica belts & run of the mill merch to be signed, but when I handed him my magazine (the one with The Rockers article), I got one of the most genuine & sincere "thank you"s that I have ever had in my adult life.
@@davekemp1808 That's so cool!
@@rafaelb1095 Thanks. I'll remember that moment forever. And hours later, after he'd seen hundreds more people (maybe thousands), I had my pic taken with him & he recognized me.
I'm so glad that Shawn was able to beat his demons and become this amazing, genuine person.
@@davekemp1808 i grew up watching the rockers. Favorite tag team, they should have gotten more of a push, but there were so many great tag teams in wwf at the time anyways. I would never forget something like that, thanks for the share :)
He found God
Another great interview Sam!!!!! Thank you so much for doing these. The Heartbreak Kid is one of the best ever in my opinion.
Same, couldn't agree more. When you talk "well rounded/over all" wrestlers/entertainers, I'm convinced that nobody touches HBK.
as a full blooded atheist, i am and was totally fine with Shawn wearing a christian shirt. he was moving on and into recovery, was getting his life together and off the pill train.
I was just glad that one more of the icons i had as a kid was taking actions to ensure that he wasnt going to drop dead at age 48
Steven Benson who cares if he dies. He is the biggest dick of all dicks in wrestling history.
Omar Silva apparently after he kicked the pills and cleaned himself up and came to jesus, he had a different attitude. He gets along fine with the others now.
Which kind of shows why it's a good thing that people dont die at a young age. That and his match with undertaker.
Lol wtf is a full blooded atheist? What does your blood have to do with not being religious?
Great interview! Really love to see HBK just be open and talk about his career. His honesty is why I love him as a character and a person.
I have the upmost respect for Shawn Michaels. He is a true follower of Christ and one of the best in-ring performers to wrestle in WWE.
***** I'm just glad that Shawn's lifestyle changed for the better because of becoming a Christian and I view Christianity not as fiction, but as a part of history.
***** I'm sorry you feel that way toward Christianity. I am a Christian just like Shawn and all I can say is that my life has been changed because of Jesus Christ. When Shawn became a Christian, he did not spread fantasy, he only let everyone know about how he was living in darkness/ sin was his master, but he is now living in the light of Jesus, who is his master.
***** Again, I am sorry you feel this way towards Christianity. I think you have the wrong idea buddy. I'll be praying for you and I will continue to let people know about the goodness of Jesus till the day I die.
***** Than why insult people for believing them? They dont carry the same amount of belief in one thing as you think they do.
Also criticism isnt calling something a disgrace, what you did was insulting someone's belief.
And again you aren't attacking stupidity, you are attacking someone for a point of view, if they believe that God made this possible, than so be it, if you believe there is no god, so be it, that still doesnt give you he right to do what you did.
Also one last thing, Religion is harmless, what people do with that religion can or cannot be harmless, you know the crusades? there is nothing in the bible about how the holy land should only be under the rule of christianity, that was under the guidance of a corrupt religious leader who wanted to use it as a front for his own personal gains, any idea can become deadly if people take it to seriously, you know justin beiber? you know how many girls attack people for opinions that they have towards him? It's nothing to do with concept, but everything to do with the people behind it and obviously you can't see that as you blame all atrocities associated with it on religion.
***** If you cannot see that a concept is judged by the people running it than stop talking.
What you did was insult something that you only know the basis to, there is much more to it than what the internet shows you on the surface.
To you they are idiotic but to others they are a point of view which i dont know why you put it in quotations considering that is how many people see the world and its origins so it would be a point of view.
And the old testament itself was doctrined towards to jews, not to christians and even then christ put an end to old testament laws as it contradicted his belief in brotherly love and peace for all. (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:15)
And again its about how they take the point of view and what they do with it, the only people who do that are extremists who follow every word of what the scripture says who itself was stated by Muhammed, not Alah.
This was a great interview! God bless Heartbreak Kid!
Whether it was finding God and Christianity. Or even if Shawn were to receive some professional, rehabilitation for his bouncing use of drugs and other addiction. I'm glad he somehow managed to turn his life around before it was too late. Say what you want about him and all, as we all heard the stories. No one deserves to lose their life over bad, personal decisions. We've seen too many in the industry as fans and friends who've passed due to these issues. To see Shawn get the 1-2-3 over his addictions is better than any championship title win in his career. Just saying...
Your fooled.... If you didn't catch Shawn throwing up the 🤘 you must be blinded! These entertainer's are all evil
@@lmuriilo5803 very true
@@lmuriilo5803 that will go over people's heads...people think everyone can be some successful famous superstar who's mega rich without giving up their soul, not in this lifetime.
I believe Shawn to the depth I have been in the ministry 44 years and you can tell the real from the fake there is a spiritual connection with the real and a standoff with the fake . I am very proud of him being open and sharing his faith .
Shawn might be the best worker EVER and my favorite wrestler, but it is amazing how he seems to be in a completely different place and happy in life and seems like a good dude now where a lot of people thought he was a tool for a long time!!
What I find everyone who ever trashes on how Shawn was back then can never seem to come to terms with is... people change.
I was lucky enough to meet him years back (he's been my all-time fave since The Barbershop) and all I can say is he's become this incredibly nice, humble & so down to earth guy.
Shawn Michaels is way better than old wrestlers from the 50s 60s and 70s and some in the 80s he doesn’t sound like an old stubborn and grumpy man I love his sense of humor and personality even though he’s been through a lot but I still keep a positive attitude and I’m glad he change for the better.
I agree, and i also love that deep, somewhat dry, gravely voice he has. It's vintage HBK!
I watched the Bret and Shawn wwe video and it fascinates me just how distant and bitter Bret seemed about everything, while Shawn is just so self-aware and repentent while still being a down to earth, just plain like able guy. Since I always loved Bret and thought Shawn was a douche, I find the fact that Shawn has turned out so much better interesting.
I agree, however U gotta remember Bret lost his career, dad, brother, brother in law and got screwed while Shawn was able to come back and have a beautiful career and life. I agree tho but you gotta look at the full story
@@joshjp4632 On top of all that Bret also lost his legacy. Before the Montreal screw job and his time in WCW he was a beloved WWF champion from a respected wrestling family known for being the ultimate good guy. Now his career is defined by the screw job and the wasted years doing nothing in WCW before getting injured.
Awesome, Shawn finally admitted that he has a favorite match of his career!
he does know Shawn is the best in ring performer of all times
Hbk is a class act!
Love these podcasts/interviews. It lets me concentrate on other things that i should do, but with some amusements in it, like schoolhomework xdd Thanks Sam! keep up the work pls :)
I wish sam would have asked shawn about Daniel Bryan but still it was a great interview
I've always believed HBK is the GOAT. He definitely should've been out there during that cheesy Wrestlemania 30 opening with Austin, Hogan, and Rock.
Sam Roberts = Younger version of Richard Simmon
He also looks like the younger version of Shawn Michaels
Or like Adam Levine
Simply Awesome guy.
I love shawn michaels as a wrestler and a person he became. I wish he didn't do all the negative stuff with the dx antics and just show how talented he was, and that is in my mind the greatest wrestler of all time.
Definitely need an hour long interview with Shawn. Would love to see Sam geek out more lol.
Plus... that girl at the end with the checkered pants? Mmmm goddang!
He's so humble. Everyone knows he's the GOAT.
+Cliff Slatterly who is the goat and who is humble?
Why Shawn Michaels of course.
Humble??...acting.
@@thetruth3186 I was lucky enough to meet him years back, it's not acting. He truly is a humble man & considering his amazing talent, it's very refreshing.
Shawn Michaels seems like an extremely likeable guy these days
I love him. he is so amazing and seems to be down to earth. hbk is the best in the world
Yeah because no one has ever said what dickhead he is.
@@thetruth3186 Maybe try getting out of the past, could do you some good. You're obviously the same person that you were decades ago, right? I think we know who the real dickhead here is. In case you didn't catch that, Truth... it's you. You're the dickhead.
Shawn Michaels seems like he is in a really good place , Wrestlemania hasn't been the same since he left .
+sessionsinthahouse Absolutely man, I cannot agree more. WWE isnt the same without HBK.
If Bret Hart ended his career on more of a positive note like Shawn Micheals did l bet Bret wouldnt have taken his job as seriously because of all the disappointments he had to endure in the WWF.
The decision was made for Bret.
+The Truth..Bret screwed himself
And it was also Bret's fault that his brother died and it was also his fault he had a stroke. Fucking idiots.
I love his hat!
It's an improvement over the HBK of old. Can't expect anything more.
If Sam didn't have that Sideshow Bob hair, he would actually kind of look like Hickenbottom.
🤔
These guys have very similar faces. You'd think they were brothers.
greatest wrestler of all time
Greatest in-ring performer not greatest wrestler
Then who according to you is
Hogan, stone cold or someone else
I'd say Austin. He was the best all around performer ever.
@@QuackMamba34 Austin is overrated. He sucks at promos, wrestling, he never drew better than Hogan and Savage. Randy Savage is the greatest wrestler superstar in the world
Great Interview Sam! As allways..!
Should be a great interview
YO @notsam ! Is that The Fink doin your intro?
Great interview!
Hahaha oh my god I was thinkin that before i even watched the video. I'm sitting here like, "man he looks an awful lot like Shawn".
Finally you got to interview your dad.
*****
Sam's 31 and HBK's 49. While possible, that would make him a very young dad ;-)
When will there be another interview with Shawn Michaels? did Sam say when that will happen?
MY FAVORITE WRESTLER EVER
That first Undertaker match was the best match I ever saw.
FACTS
Shawn v Bret Hart 60 min Iron Man Match
Razor Roberts thats up there for sure...but id also say the first hbk taker WM match
You haven't seen many matches then
Taker, Flair , Stone Cold, HBK , Hogan . Top 5 ... The Rock 6 man. 💯
Randy Savage Hulk Hogan Shawn Michaels
Right as you said take the hair out of the equation i was like "holy shit he does look like HBK!!
Smokey Mountain chew helped me quit tobacco too. Good for him!
1st run as what, history will show you his 1st run was his tag team stint with marty jennety his 2nd and 3rd stint was his push in singles competition..
I love how we all see it as "Michaels superkicked Jannety through the Barber shop window.
When really he just super kicked him onto the floor ...and then picked him up and smashed his head through the window.
I'm complaining anyway..... it was a classic moment
didnt Sam do an interview with HBK 3-4 years ago? how is this the first time?
You might be thinking of Peter Rosenberg. He did an interview with Shawn in a similar looking studio.
Great response to the Bret question. Let it go and stop reminding everyone why you think you're the greatest.
I doubt Shawn looks at himself as the best ever... most industry pros who've seen the very best come & go? Completely different story.
Ya know
I’m 39 so not old (shut it 😂) but for anyone younger please listen to ppl like Shawn and Paul (HHH) and Kevin nash , x pac and Jake etc nothing to do with who I liked as a wrestler etc but these guys are speaking from the heart , they have been there , tried that , smoked this , sniffed that and it’s not worth it. Also they all very very strongly say don’t look at it like well you’ve got to try it and they survived , even know that’s 6 or so guys and there’s more they could tell you of 50 plus who didnt make it and we lost before they were even 40. Of course triple H was unique as he didn’t do any drugs or drink but he seen what it does to Ppl very close up very many times and lost lots of friends and thank god didnt lose some very very close friends , literally thanks to god. I’m not going to sit here and say find god , I have my faith but that’s me and I won’t say do t try any drugs cos if you will you will but I also suffered from addiction , it’s hell, it’s really hell and what they don’t tell you is it’s so so easy to slip from just kicking around to addicted and it can happen very quickly. Please listen to legends and heroes if not to me.
Ps if you don’t mind a bit of religion ted dibiase is a great talker too and Marc mero.
Old
Holy shit he does look like shawn michaels lol!
Yeess
Yeah
Disappearingboy1039 for me it is hbk
Disappearingboy1039 he looks like the 90s Shawn lol but different hair
I don’t blame him he had so much heat and all The traveling all the work all the bs
shawn: son? sam: papa?
Jason Angeles So glad I'm not the only person that sees it!
Interview is WAY too short. JR got an hour and so should have HBK.
@ShadeRunner Despite how he was in the past & there's no denying that... he's an incredibly humble guy.
I’m just falling in love with that cutie that walked in towards the end
when hbk banged scary sherry Sam came out
Tyler S what? 😂😂
0:00 - 0:18 that kind of music and Finks announcing reminds me of SD! Shut Your Mouth :D
When did Shawn Michaels become the Skinner gimmick?
You ok shittenbottom
Did hbk said he kicked a smoking habit??..hbk said he was james dean without the cigarette
shawn micheals has the same laugh as seth rogen at 20:00, tell me I'm wrong
the first undertaker match? it was a no contest
Oh Snap
why hasent he returned to wrestle seth or zayn
+beastly georgiades He's comfortable with the things he's accomplished in the business and he's enjoying spending time with his family. Coming from a fan of HBK, I can respect that, but it's hard not seeing your favorite wrestler on tv anymore, especially because I feel like he can still go.
He did his time in the WWE as a veteran between 2005-2009. For a guy who debuted in Wrestling in the early 80's to have a 20+ year career is awesome.
He won't be returning to wrestle. He has already put over the younger guys during his last run. Most were never fully utilized, but Dolph Ziggler comes to mind as a member of the Spirit Squad.
I feel that maybe Shawn gave Dolph permission to use some of his mannerisms. Because if you watch a Ziggler match and a Michaels match back to back. They are pretty similar now, whereas a couple years ago they were night and day.
@@tonyjameson3111 I can agree with the similarities between the 2, except that from day 1, I found Shawn to be like a magnet. When he was on the mic, he was captivating, whether you liked him or not, he could draw you in. Dolph, on the other hand, I find is ok at best when it comes to cutting a promo.
Tell me why he looks like Shawn
Timothy Attah illegitimate child...
You might be on to something
He doesn't wear his Hof ring
Change the title to Shawn Michaels interviews his future self
lol they look so much alike
Wow sam and shawn look related :O
+eljono1 Sam Roberts looks like a biracial version of Shawn Michaels lol
"If the Lord sees my comings and goings, in doing things, as obedience to him, he's going to bless them".
Please tell me there is people out there that see the danger of holding such views. This is how people get manipulate into doing evil things for the sake of religion. This is the cognition of someone who is mentally ill.
Lmao his smile in the thumbnail. Jesus. Like a who from whoville
Yé bon pis humble pis intelligent pis généreux pis humain
I thought Sam was Richard Simmons for a second :0)
I love how most people in these comments shit all over Shawn pretty sure you weren’t there
big fan
Did him and bret hart ever make up?
Yup, though I can't help but feel that Bret still harbours it a bit (as Sam mentioned about Bret being one of those guys who takes themselves too seriously).
Sam Roberts looks like a biracial version of Shawn Michaels lol
Sam Roberts looks like Richard Simons!
Richard Simmons Jr interviews Brett Michaels of Poison!
You'd think Sam Roberts was Shawn Michaels' son lol
is that fuckin howard finkel doin the intro
all these ol school wrestling guys voices start to sound the same lol
Brother!
+shane willis post-roids!
Hahahahah
The voice of years of alcohol, coke and roids..
+MrHollabk or yrs of method acting and they just stay in-character forever lol. As if it's literally all they know--which is cool and sad at the same time
Is Sam, Shawn's son, *mirror image*. Twins.
Have you been dipping into Shawn's old Gym bag?
Excuse me?
+Rizzla CS, what you talking bout?
+Stan Henderson pills, he is referring to Shawn's pills
Yeah i was, because i really don't see the resemblance, other than the eyes that look alike, nothing else does imo :P
Introduced by the Fink, no less. xD
aha! sam finally using two cameras
14:10
"WE GOT IT"
-JIM NORTON
I WONDER IF HE HAS APOLOGIZED TO THE PEOPLE HE HAS HARMED IN HIS PAST
You apologize to anybody you’ve harmed in the past? lmao
Tell you what though, Sam does look like shawn! ( taking the hair out of the equation)
No cmpunk questions? Lol
What nationality is Sam Roberts? He needs to shave his head btw
Now they look like twins in 2021
Hopefully his book is alot better than that piece of horse shit, first one he released!
whats up with the lingering chick at the end
Sam is the only person whose cartoon caricature is better looking than him.
This guys destroy like 34 careers in one year.
Well I guess he is a good guy now🤔😒
Sam : You became this manly man
While Shawn's wearing a fucking glitterish cowboy hat... YUP...manly.
Nikolai Pellervo it's not glittery
They look alike..lol
(Creep)
Wired potcast
@17:05 look at Shawn's left hand when he talks about God and being a atheist!!!! If you guys don't see it your blind and don't understand the evil 😈 all these entertainer's are.... I've also seen Bret Hart throw up the 🤘 same hand sign plenty of times witch has lead me to believe that he has also done some evil rituals in his life to be rich and famous..... Trust me I have a feeling that Owen Hart died in vein..... Blood sacrifices entertainment it all goes hand and ✋!
Dude, it's not that serious.
horns were brought outside italy by Ronnie James Dio cause he used to visit his relatives in Italy, he liked that and made it cool in the metal environment, but their original meaning isn't related to satan or something religious, it's about pushing away the bad luck.
Toya, I'm not one to belittle what anyone feels or believes. I try not to judge or look down... but believe me, he's a very kind hearted, humble, caring human being. If you need to look for gestures, insinuating that someone is evil (and that hand gesture doesn't mean that, at least traditionally), you're not going to be enjoying life as you should. I've met Shawn twice, and both times, he was such a sweet, down to earth, amazing individual. He truly, 100%, beyond the shadow of a doubt, believes in his faith... which is the exact polar opposite of that you're stating about him.
So, as a non-Christian/non-atheiest man, when I say something like "if you want to dissect anything to the core & take apart what you see, go do so in nature where you're seeing the beauty of life itself", it's not from a religious stand point.
