WWE's Shawn Michaels Responds to Video of Tucker Craft's Kip-Up in Packers vs. Lions

It's not quite a championship belt, but a shoutout from Shawn Michaels is a pretty nice consolation prize for Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft.

The WWE Hall of Famer awarded Kraft a 10 out of 10 for his kip-up after a hard hit in the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Detroit Lions.

Kraft's catch helped set up a Josh Jacobs touchdown run that gave the Packers a 28-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. They were unable to hold it, as the Lions prevailed 34-31 on a 35-yard field goal from Jake Bates as time expired.

The kip-up was a key part of Michaels' in-ring wrestling career. It generally started when he hit an opponent with a flying forearm off the ropes, then he would get back to his feet using a kip-up that would signal he was about to make a comeback.

After the kip-up, Michaels would typically hit his opponent with a flying elbow drop off the top rope followed by his superkick finisher known as Sweet Chin Music.

It was a tried-and-true formula that served Michaels well for the majority of his 22-year in-ring career in WWE.

We'll have to wait and see if Kraft makes the kip-up a staple of his game each week when he gets tackled. It didn't help his team get a win, but he caught his seventh touchdown of the season against the Lions.
