I'm in tears right now.
Thanks for the memories, Shawn. You are the greatest.

What a moment.
I now truly believe this is it. He isn't Ric Flair and has none of his faults.

He deserved a much better send off than this. I'd assume they let him decide how he wanted to go out. Yeah exactly this, I am pretty sure WWE let him have whatever he wanted, and that's what he got.

I was 13 years old when I first saw Shawn debut with The Rockers. Where has the time gone?

Damn, what a moment. More heartbreaking than Flair's. Agreed, I think with Flair, a lot of us knew he wasn't really done. Maybe I'm just being naive, but I think we've seen HBK's last match.

He deserved a much better send off than this. One part of me agrees. As in, it was missing the peer-to-peer jovial signs of respect and emotion that Flair got, and that would be the thing that sent chills up and down the spine. The other disagrees. How it all played out was beautiful. From Taker's nod to Triple H's embrace and leaving of the glowsticks on the grate, the speech inbetween was a heartfelt speech that any fan would bawl over. In a sense, it was perfect in my eyes. The eyes that have more water in them than the driveway.

Felt like only yesterday, I was a sixth grader on the verge of tears when Shawn announced he'd lost his smile, thinking that it was truly the end.
I had no idea then that the best was yet to come.
13 Years later, and now the best has gone.

Maybe Shawn didn't want everyone coming out at the end. Maybe he wanted something more low-key and personel to him. I'm just glad he didn't spend the last three days sobbing nonstop like Flair did.

I don't care what anyone says.
There will never be another Shawn Michaels..and that in my eyes is the truth.
Goodbye Shawn..you truly are one of a kind.

Shawn Michaels was my hero as a ten year old boy. The ladder match with Razor. 'Sexy Boy!' The heartbreak hotel. Sweet Chin Music. Two dudes with attitudes. the charisma. Jim Ross sold it when he went against Sid with 'it's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.'
He will always be the Showstoppa!

My VERY FIRST memory from regularly watching wrestling (so, outside the ones consisting of my family randomly flipping channels and having Hogan/Savage on there) was when I was at my grandmas on Saturday and was flipping channels on a TV upstairs and it was HBK giving his speech on being the new world champ, it was the Saturday right after Michaels beat Hart at WMXII.
I can't remember the last time I cried watching wrestling, maybe I never have...I even held it in when Flair left (no offense to him, a five-star wrestler without question)...but this...I just spent about a minute just bawling like a child over this. We just witnessed the end of the greatest of all time folks. We as wrestling fans will always remember this one. Part of me is in disbelief, part of me feels great that he's moving on now, and part of me is plain angry.
God bless ya Shawn. Hope we truly haven't seen the last of you though...you're welcome anytime.

Man, I really am gonna miss HBK. I know he'll show up again, maybe not to wrestle, but there's a void of entertainment and fun that's gonna be hard to fill now. It'll be interesting to see who, if anyone, is gonna step up to the plate.
Enjoy it, folks, because someone like the Heartbreak Kid only comes once a lifetime.

Just thought I'd mention that Sheamus and Thank You Shawn are two of the top words of the week on Twitter
And they say wrestling isn't as popular as it used to be
