Greg ‘The Hammer’ Valentine took great pleasure in being stiff with Shawn Michaels in the ring as he truly detested the Heart Break Kid.
On a recent edition of the “Wrestling Shoot Interviews” podcast, Valentine was asked if the rumors that he didn’t like The Rockers are true. He said,
“It’s true. I liked Marty [Jannetty] though, but I didn’t like Shawn [Michaels]. And then, when we wrestled him, I would always f*****g lay them in. I wouldn’t sell s**t. I chopped the f**k out of him. F**k Shawn Michaels.
“I like him better now because his face is lopsided, and it’s like someone superkicked him with his own punch in his face, so it’s all f*****g caved in. But he’s got a f*****g job. He’s being taken care of. He works down at the Performance Center, but he was never one of my favorite people, but I guess he’s okay now.”
Despite Valentine’s animosity towards Shawn, the pair teamed together at Survivor Series 1993 where they were part of a Survivor Series team against the Hart Family.
