On the most recent episode of What Happened When, Conrad Thompson discussed WWE offering replacements for Undertaker, who was originally booked for Starrcast. WWE offered Ric Flair, Sting, and Eric Bischoff. However, Conrad had already booked them to appear. Then, WWE offered Sting and The APA. Both Sting and Ron Simmons were already booked and Conrad didn't want to book JBL. Conrad asked if in exchange for Undertaker, he could have Shawn Michaels. WWE didn't respond.
Conrad also said originally the plan was for Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon to provide alternate commentary for their ladder match at WrestleMania X. That idea fell through, but Conrad said that Shawn Michaels liked the idea so much he pitched it to WWE and both he and Razor provided alternate commentary for their ladder match at WrestleMania X on WWE's YouTube channel.
