Shawn Michaels like Ric Flair (amongst others) are praised soooo much on TV that the new generations are brain washed and have no choice but to like them via reference - No doubt that absolutely they were the best IN THEIR TIME and PRIME... but 1 was incredible disrespectful to the industry of wrestling and did not 'honour' it like he should at the time and as The Champ and the other played ball against WWE for 90% of his career!!!! yet we ignore those facts... or forgive them while they condemn others who built that house... Both Flair and HBK just so happen to be very good friends with 'the boss' as well. I think HBK is probs good for Taker - 2 old slow legends going at it!!!! I dunno but I am sure I recall Trips and HBK many years ago complaining about how some 'old guys' won't move over and let the young talent have a chance... In conclusion - WTF is my Macho Man Randy Savage bronze statue!!! Flair and Michaels are also two of the greatest, if not the two greatest, to ever lace up a pair of boots, so they deserve the praise that they get in spades. Not to mention the fact that WWE has also excessively lauded one man who’s a well-known racist and another man who was a well-known homophobe (before his passing) who did the same things Flair and Michaels did with the same levels of praise, so you’re really just preaching to the choir here.

No no no no no, all of the no and screw this noise back to the pit of hell from whence it came. This is the embodiment of greed. I'm shocked a billion dollar organization would want to make more money I would literally slap you over the head with a dead fish for that level of sarcasm. You are like a toddler with an AK trying to wield all that sarcasm. Bad toddler! Bad, bad, bad toddler!

Didn't Shawn say a while back that if was to come back and wrestle it would be against Samoa Joe? Because it tells a better story than him fighting a guy thats his size or something?

I was trying to be witty in response because God knows caring about wrestling beyond point three nanograms is detrimental to your health at this point.

During a recent edition of the Barn Burner Fired Up podcast, Joe Peisich shared some rumored details on a potential return to the ring for WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels. According to Peisich, WWE has a list of opponents they’d like Shawn Michaels to face.
Based on the report, WWE wants to have Shawn Michaels face The Undertaker at least one more time, and then they would like him to have another potential four matches after that. The list for other potential Michaels opponents includes AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, possibly an NXT talent like Johnny Gargano.
Peisich stated: “I’ve heard there are ideas for him to wrestle up to five matches, but not with the Undertaker. One with The Undertaker, one with AJ Styles, one with somebody in NXT – most likely Johnny Gargano – and now I’ve heard from a source that there’s talk of him facing off against Kevin Owens.” ADVERTISING
Shawn Michaels has been retired from in-ring action since WrestleMania 26 in 2010, where he lost to The Undertaker in their rematch from their epic battle at WrestleMania 25. Michaels has not gotten back in the ring for an official match since that time. Whether this rumored return actually happens remains to be seen.

The only way I want to see Shawn Michaels back in the ring is if he goes full blown Skinner.

The "Old Guard" still make me "feel" when they cut a promo, HBK, Undertaker, Triple H, Austin, The Rock and Hogan, I dont care about the young talent as much as I used to, I just want to fully buy into what is going on on the TV. There are only a few members of the young talent that can do that for me.

Intresting stuff, if he ends up doing a singles match at mania, wish he could work somebody different. What about Rock? Or any chance Sting could do one more match? I haven't really followed closely in years, so don't know how bad Sting was hurt. Don't really care to see him lose to Taker for the 3rd time though.
Looking back, I think the constant jobbing of Michaels was something that contributed to me falling away from wrestling in the mid 2000's. Sure, I was working full time and had kids by then to take up my time, but HBK was my favorite wrestler since late 92'. I was so excited to see him come out of retirement. But, it seemed like all he did was job after he came back. Sure, he usually had the best match on the show, but when you lose all the time, it's a downer for your diehard fans. And if he did win a big match, he would usually have his ass handed to him in a post match attack.
