As much as I would love to see another HBK match, I admire him for keeping true to his word to stay retired. He did look great, but just because you retire doesn't mean you have to let yourself go. ha

He looked way healthier than he did when he was wrestling. Was great to see.

I want him to have 1 last run. Even as a part timer like Lesnar, I'd still love it. It's highly unlikely that he will ever return in a wrestling role, but never say never in WWE.

Other than Shane's fall and New Day's entrance, the appearance of Shawn Michaels in wrestling tights will be the moment I remember most from this year's WrestleMania.
I've been conditioned to see him huffing and puffing on his way down to the ring since his retirement that I never imagined something like last night could ever be possible again.
You can tell that he's slowed down a bit when he climbs the turnbuckles, but man did his physique bring back memories of Shawn in peak form. Okay, maybe not his absolute peak form as he was in 1996, but Shawn honestly looked better than he has in 6 to 8 years. You can tell that he had been putting the work in for quite some time.
He could have easily went the route of Austin or Foley and left all of it behind, but you just know that somewhere inside him exists that burning desire to compete and to prove to the fans that he's still capable of stealing the show at WrestleMania. I can't speak for anyone else, but he proved it to me and it's a moment I won't soon forget.

I was surprised he had no hunting gear on as compared to every post retirement appearance.

I was saying the same thing last night. HBK looked better than he has in years. Lean as hell. I'd love to see him return for a while, Maybe he can carry the company again since it's obviously in a rough spot. Lol

He looked amazing. Esp since he looked like he gained a few lbs on his appearances we've seen since he retired. But he looked amazing.

i marked out when he came out in his ring gear As did I. And yes, HBK looked amazing. I figured he would at least pack on a couple of pounds being away. Nope...dude looks like a machine. Thats why the man is the GOAT.

I agree with you guys on HBK looking great last night seeing him in his ring gear wants me to see him wrestle one more time. I miss seeing him preform.

Killer shape. He's really kept it up.
It's strange when you think about it. On one hand, I keep thinking he's older than 50...but on the other hand, I keep thinking he can't be 50 yet. Shawn seems to be one those ageless guys.

Him being in his ring gear was...confusing? I just don't understand why he was in his gear and Austin and Foley had wrist tape on for a quick five-minute beatdown. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love any time those three are around; it was just confusing because it made it seem like it was leading to an impromptu match from the videos I saw.

To be fair that was Foley's ring gear.

To be fair that was Foley's ring gear. Yes, lol. Good point. I saw his interview afterwards where he said his kids were confused when he said he needed to bring a pair of plain white sneakers with him to the arena as opposed to him just wearing whatever shoes he had on. That was funny. While we're on the subject, I thought Mick looked pretty good last night. Certainly not in wrestling shape, but there was a while there where he was easily over 300 lbs after he retired. He looks like he cut some weight and just looks healthier, which was good to see.

I've only seen him in cargo shorts and camo shorts recently. I think he left the jean shorts back in 2003 where they belonged lol.
