Shawn Michaels Reveals Who First Asked To Use Sweet Chin Music

TLDR

Shawn Michaels revealed on 7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony that Dolph Ziggler was likely the first wrestler to ask for permission to use the Sweet Chin Music superkick after Michaels retired. Michaels said he agreed to let Ziggler use the move because he didn't want to be "an old-timer that stopped the progression and the evolution of the business," which he described as opening the floodgates for other wrestlers to use the superkick. Despite the move's widespread use today, Michaels believes his version will always be synonymous with him and noted that other wrestlers don't "tune up the band" like he does.
