Hopefully he stays retired this time.
So what was everyone's favorite HBK moment?
I'm gonna say tomorrow when his Retirement Ceremony is better than Flair's.

Again, I think he has more respect than to show up at Summerslam, reform DX and go on another 10 month roster stay to tarnish this moment. Besides one off matches, it's done. That's not really "what I want", it's just what I believe.

Maybe a future permanent Raw GM?
HBK is one of my top 3 favorites of all time. I can't remember a bad match he had and he rarely screwed up in the ring.
Even if it is behind the scenes, he still has a lot to offer the business.

Three classic matches with the undertaker and a 13+ year build makes it my favourite feud of all time, even ahead of austin-mcmahon.
Btw Dolph, what are your thoughts on losing the MITB match?

One of the best of all time. And the best today. HBK, you will be missed. Ride off into the sunset friend you've, more than, earned your happy ending.

I cried when The Dean retired him in the 90ies, even though I figured he will be eventually back (I was a tad bit younger as well), and just like that I was really battling tears 30 minutes ago when I saw my favorite wrestler ever leave the ring at Wrestlemania.

I think Swagger read the script wrong, it said "Ziggler" wins, not "Swagger" But whatever, I'm happy for my future tag partner.

I'll always remember when I became an HBK fan as he superkicked Marty Jannety and then Marty jumped through the barbershop window to escape! I remember how edgy and powerful that scene was. It was right up there at the time with Jake The Snake letting a cobra bite Randy Savage. From that point on, I was always paying attention to Shawn Michaels and I've never regretted it.

A true legend. I feel somewhat stunned, but I'm not convinced that this is the end for him.

If he truly is retired then I can't help but thank him for all the memories. His boyhood dream babyface run was kinda corny looking back on it now but it's what really got me into this stuff . One of the all time greats and I'll miss seeing him if he's done.

I'm honoured that I share a first name with such a great wrestler.
My signature quote pretty sums up my feelings.

The GOAT!! I don't care what anyone says. f*** Hogan, f*** Rock, f*** Austin, f*** Savage and all them other bums. HBK is the GOAT. Truly a sad day for wrestling.

I fell in love with this guy when I was 15 years old and I feel priviledged to have seen him come back and give us 8 more years of greatness when he was supposed to have just one more match left in him. Part of me is going to miss him terribly and I hope he's happy with what his future holds. Even though I know he won't ever read this, thanks Shawn, for everything.

Shawn Michaels was the complete package. He could do it all in the ring and on the "entertainment" side as well. My favorite moment came when I was 10 years old, and the boyhood dream came true. It was that match that I became a lifelong member of the Kliq. I'm so sad to see Shawn go. There'll never be another like him. Ever. Thanks for everything.
