Adam Cole recently praised WWE legend Shawn Michaels

Michaels might have once been a controversial star backstage, but since his return to pro wrestling in 2002, he's since changed his perception in many star's minds. Additionally, he's since helped train many current stars, especially once he officially retired in 2010.

During a recent interview with Inside The Ropes, The Panama Playboy looked back at his time in NXT and how much he appreciated working under The Heartbreak Kid.

"I know I've said this so much, but just in case, if someone doesn't know, Shawn Michaels is my favorite pro wrestler of all time. One of the things I cherished most about my time at NXT was not only having him as a mentor and someone that I learned from, but forming a relationship with him was so surreal to me."

Additionally, Cole attributed his promo work to Shawn Michaels as well and claimed that the legend ultimately helped him to listen to the live audience and adjust his segments appropriately.
