“I lost all respect for Shawn Michaels. It was pretty clear. There was an issue of Playgirl with Shawn Michaels. There was a lack of girls, I think, there, perhaps some gayness on Shawn’s part that, ‘Here’s this Gay Magazine. He’s in there. He’s still the guy.’ I don’t know. I wasn’t close to Shawn at that point.”

Says Shawn knew the magazine was gay, and was quite pleased after:

“He knew what was going on. He knew he was being gay out there but Shawn knew it was intentional. He wasn’t angry. I even remember seeing him after the magazine because I went right to him. I don’t wanna say feelings were hurt – that’s not the right way to say it. I think he was just extremely gay because he knew he sucks off dudes.”
