HBK/JBL =Dibiase/Volkoff revisited?

[dannyrctv]

For give me if some one has all ready mentioned this but this current JBL/HBK storyline reminds me of the short lived one when a down on his luck Nikolai Volkoff became an employee of Dibiase to support his family as Dibiase would berate and humiliate Volkoff,having him trade in his Russian flag tights for green tights with a "Cents" logo on it.Volkoff began acting heelish helping Dibiase cheat etc then quickly disappeared as quick as the angle began.
It was later casually mentioned on WWF TV that Volkoff had been fired by Dibiase.I wonder what the real behind the scenes story was.

It was so obvious we were going to see Volkoff catching up on his finances,get sick of Dibiase's belittling him and turn on Dibiase in a dramatic classic but predictable face turn just like we knew Virgil would sooner or later.

The same exact thing is being done with HBK! What I don't like is you can't take HBK being broke and down on his luck seriously because he's such a megastar in wrestling.We can all see this coming a mile away that he'll be doing heelish stuff to help JBL,we'll feel sorry for him,hopping he decks JBL and then eventually he will and suddenly be finacially stable. The Volkoff angle was more believable nbut eitehr way it's a lame story line!

Volkoff just kind of ended up getting lost in the shuffle of the Million Dollar Corporation.

He was the first member of the group, but as more members were added, he kept falling farther and farther down the depth chart so to speak.

Hell, when he was one of the lumberjacks at WrestleMania 11 and started in the angle beforehand, I think it was the first time he had been on TV in months. They needed him to make the numbers even with the football players.

Plus, he was well past his prime by that point, and they probably just stopped using him.

[Faces rule!]

Yeah, but comparing Volkoff to Shawn Michaels is like comparing flowers to stink bait

[H-Fist]

Can I be devil's advocate here and pitch that maybe, just maybe, the HBK snap that comes down the line will be for him to have one last major main event heel run before he retires? Not sure how, exactly, one would book it, since JBL would not be able to turn face short of reforming the APA. Maybe JBL "loses" HBK in a match with Orton, who is starting to get enough mixed heat to turn into an anti-hero face, thus setting up HBK/Orton and a double-pseudo-turn. Meh. Just to be contrarian, but admittedly unrealistic.

.....only if JBL gives Michaels a jacket or shirt with a cent sign on it (instead of a dollar sign)...

It's nothing like it.
Shawn has more than one suit, Nikolai always had the same one.
