“They couldn’t call any of the shots, but I listened. They had some really good ideas. Really smart, individually, and Shawn, very smart when he was sober. Shawn had an attitude. When he drank, even more so, on top of pills… Shawn would say the wrong thing at the wrong time and he was protected in the WWE environment, but outside of that environment shakes head.”

“Shawn owes his life to ‘Triple H’ Paul Levesque. Owes his life to him.”

Triple H also spoke about how troublesome Shawn Michaels was outside the ring but he couldn’t part ways with him because he was like a brother to him.

“His moment of existence was the 20 minutes in the ring every night. He wouldn’t be messed up. He would go in there and kill it every night. Then, the minute he was done mimics taking a pill ‘I’m in pain and I took some stuff so I wouldn’t be in pain this morning but I’m not messed up,’”.

“‘Why would you hang out with this misery 24/?’ No, it’s not. Again, it’s like your brother. It’s like a family member.”
