Some of the major names who jumped ship to WCW included&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/kevin-nash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin Nash<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/scott-hall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scott Hall<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/hulk-hogan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hulk Hogan<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/bret-hart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bret Hart<\/a>&nbsp;among many others.<\/p>\n<p>However, the few names who always remained loyal to WWE include former multi-time WWE Champions &#8211; The Undertaker and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/shawn-michaels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shawn<\/a>&nbsp;Michaels. Even though most of Michaels&#8217; friends had gone to WCW, he chose to stay by Vince McMahon&#8217;s side.<\/p>\n<p>While speaking on his podcast&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/jim-cornette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jim Cornette<\/a>&#8216;s Drive-Thru, the veteran talks about what he believes would have happened if the ShowStopper Shawn Michaels had joined WCW in his heyday.<\/p>\n<p><em>I think he would have had some great matches in WCW against certain friends of his, and I think overall they would have somehow bungled it and he would have not been any bigger or even as big in WCW as he was in the WWF because Vince was dedicated to taking care of Shawn. When they bungled Bret Hart, you think they wouldn&rsquo;t have bungled Shawn Michaels?<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>What would have happened to Shawn Michaels&#8217; personal life?<\/h2>\n<p>He further talks about the possibility of Shawn Michaels&#8217; personal life. It is a known fact that Triple H had helped Michaels through a very tough time in his life, and helped keep HBK on track. However, Cornette believes that wouldn&#8217;t have happened in WCW &#8211; saying that Kevin Nash and Scott Hall wouldn&#8217;t have kept a very close eye on Shawn Michaels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/jim-cornette-reveals-happened-shawn-michaels-left-wwe-wcw?utm_source=feed&#038;utm_medium=referral&#038;utm_campaign=sportskeeda\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/jim-cornette-reveals-happened-shawn-michaels-left-wwe-wcw?utm_source=feed&#038;utm_medium=referral&#038;utm_campaign=sportskeeda<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Shiven Sachdeva<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Shiven Sachdeva<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4126-logo-1-17.png\" alt=\"\">Shawn Michaels has been one of the most loyal WWE Superstars in history Do you think Shawn Michaels should have left for WCW?
