The dude was completely out of the game. He did the odd appearance here and there. But he's not like most retirees, who start doing the convention circuit or similarHonestly, I am shocked he stayed away as long as he did... Not that he was ever "away". It is like he just took a few years off.

Yup. He also wrote a book and did some charity work.Yeah that is true. Didn't he have a hunting show or something?

Shawn wanted out as much as possible because he feared getting the itch to get back in the ring, and sullying his retirement/injuring himself.
Reports were that he did a quest seminar during mania weekend for the NXT crew and got so inspired/touched by how they looked up to him that he decided to give training a go.
His current gig involves zero ring work as well. He's the finishing coach. He works with talent on how to portray themselves, how to move to and from the ring, pose. Things like that
