Anyone else think HBK is gettin ready to head out?

In 2 weeks Batista will turn 39.....just food for thought for those of you categorizing him with the "young guys".

And wrestling is not a "real sport", so it's not like in baseball where you get to a certain age and you can no longer produce and they force you out.

I think Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, The Undertaker are prime examples of as long as people will PAY TO SEE YOU....you will always have a job.

Say what you want about Shawn Michaels, but put his name on the Pay-Per View Marqe...people pay to see him. And they will continue to pay to see him for as long as he choses to work....he's just simply a top draw anyway you slice it. He sells. And thats all that matters.

If "young and talented" got you ahead in the wrestling business, Carlito vs Shelton Benjamin would be your Royal Rumble main event for the WWE title.....however, that doesn't sell tickets, which is ALL THAT MATTERS.

Ok but if I'm Vince McMahon....a business man.....am I really supposed to throw away my cash cow and take a chance on something that MIGHT not work?

It's simple business.....Vince McMahon has certain guys who are GUARENTEED to draw and make money. When you have a formula like that, you milk it until it doesn't work anymore...then you try and change it.

And really, I don't see what people complain about. Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels have been doing nothing but put guys over left right and center for the last 4 years.

Shawn Michaels jobbed to Carlito, Benjamin, Orton, Cena....he's giving Kennedy a major rub now too.

And with Flair, I can't REMEMBER the last time he won a match before they started this "if you lose, you're done" angle. And BOTH wins so far over Orton and Triple H came with HEAVY outside interference, it's not like he's won clean. Plus he put over Carlito and Edge last year.

And Undertaker, in the last 10 years, he's been WWE Champion 2 times for a total of like 20 days each, until he jobbed to Hogan and then until he got hurt. He's put over Edge, Orton, Batista, Finlay, Kennedy.

If you actually WATCH the shows, rather than just READ people complain on the internet, it's really hard for me to understand how anybody can say these guys don't put other people over.

If Shawn Michaels keeps putting over Kennedy like he's been doing, and the fans don't buy it and keep giving Kennedy a dead crowd response, its not Shawn Michaels fault if Kennedy's push gets killed. They are giving him a chance just like they give EVERYBODY a chance.....but if it doesn't sell and the people don't buy Kennedy, there is only so much they can do.

Theres a difference between putting someone over in a throw away match on raw that nobody really cares about and putting someone over long term in a feud.

I mean as much as I hate Kennedy why did he lose clean to HBk in their first PPV match. Long term thats going to do damage to him. Straight away people lose interest in the feud because they see HBk as the stronger man and think Kennedy is just an upstart loser and that is the impression that will stick.

When was the last time that Undertaker or HBK put someone over in a storyline or feud that really meant something and let themselves come across as the weaker or even as the equal of the guy they where facing by the time the feud had ended.??

And no I dont mean equal throughout the feud then at the end triumphing and being presented as stronger .

Yeah he should soon. Not only for his own health and appaearance, but also for stars who are almost in the mani event spot like Kennedy.

January 8 2008 - January 18 1966= Batista will be 42 in 10 days. Undertaker will be 46 on march 24, 3 years and a bit between them, which isn`t that much when you get to that age!

Except Taker needs the world title, because he got ed out of his last reign.
