rajah.com/base/node/10369- Dave Meltzer stated in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Shawn Michaels’ knees are in the worst shape that they have ever been. Whether or not this has anything to do with WWE not giving him a title run is unknown, although there has to be concern as to the longevity of his career at this point. I know it's from rajah.com, but what do you guys think? Personally I thought he looked a bit wobbly on his kness in the first 2-3 weeks that he returned, but lately he hasn't looked so bad and yeah you can see him limping a bit after the matches, but he always seem to be recovering pretty well after the fact.

Well, that sucks
I'm not the biggest HBK fan (At least face HBK) but he can put on an awesome match

I'd hate to see him in a wheelchair when he finally retires, so if this story is true he should get out of the business while he can still walk.
HBK was always one of my favorites, so I'll be sad to see him go, but if it's what's necessary to prevent a tragedy, then so be it.

I'd have to re-read it, but I think the speculation about him not getting the title because of that wasn't orginally in the article. I think Rajah probably added that part on, I mean I think most people know that HBK isn't winning the title at this point in his career anyways.

Ehhh, I could see him winning it (He's still main eventing Raws) he's in good shape too. However, him winning it RIGHT after Orton won the title wasn't gonna happen |

His best friend won it after Orton had just won been awarded the title. |

Didnt he just have knee surgery? Wasnt that why he had a few months off this year? One thing i think we all know about Shawn is that if he is injured he takes the time off.

I read a quote in an interview that Shawn did about a week before Survivor Series where he said that his knee had bothered him a couple of times but that "it always did that" and it wasn't a problem for him. And also, why would he be still doing some of the stuff that he usually do that put pressure on his knees (kip-up, moonsault, plancha from last night) if he was in such bad shape? IMO the only person that really knows what shape Shawn Michaels is in fact... Shawn Michaels. |

Okay, I found the line. It was in his recap of the Jannetty-Kennedy match:

He walks like he has a stick up his butt, so you know his knees are bothering him, at least.
Unless, he really does have a stick up his butt.

So his bad knees are a direct result of him not getting a title run? I've never heard of this kind of physical condition. Perhaps if he gets turned down for a car loan his kidneys will shut down...? |

I think the reason he didn't get the title was because he didn't do houseshows, which is required if you're champion.

he returned early from his injury because Cena left the show..
It's the same reason he left in '98, he didn't take time to heal.

rajah.com:
Shawn Michaels is having fluid drained from both of his knees almost daily. Shawn is begging Vince to give him time off, but Vince keeps saying that he badly needs his talent during the runup to WM
Then again, it's Rajah...

Those first couple of weeks when he came back you could tell he hadn't fully healed up. I watched him "run" down to the ring at a Raw in Omaha and it was just painful, but on TV they switched up the camera angles to disguise just how awkward it was.
