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! I dunno why, but that "Michael Shawns" quote in your sig is making me laugh right now.

Wow. I'm emotionally done for the night. It was all downhill after Undertaker tipped his hat. My heart has a hole that can't be filled. That was awesome and ... I have no words for how I feel right now. Bye, Shawn. I'll miss you.

Shawn is class. And Hunter is, occasionally, adorable. <3 That was a great farewell speech.

Seriously. I'm the world's biggest HBK mark, and i'm really not allowing it to hit me. When he's not there in 2 or 3 weeks it'll finally hit me though...in about a month i'll be dying for him to comeback...and then we'll wait..months...years...

Its finally starting to sink in. The greatest of all time is gone. Going out on his terms, still the best in the World, after main eventing mania, thats perfect. Sheer class, he seems so genuine Who knows whats round the corner, but if thats it then I doubt anybody will ever top HBKs career in terms of never having bad matches, in terms of having the best match at almost every PPV he wrestled on. How can anybody dout that HBK is the greatest pro wrestler who ever lived

And to think, back in 1994, I only saw Shawn as a retired wrestler who was Diesel's manager (didn't start watching until Summer of 94, while Diesel was still IC champ before Shawn's first match post-Mania X).
Enjoy retirement, Shawn, if that's what you're really going for.

Shawn's been there since I started watching in 1991. Maybe some years back, I'd have felt differently. But now, I'm ready for it to be done, and by the look of it, so is he.

I've seen thousands of matches live. I've never marked the f*** out like I did at the conclusion of this match, and I never will again.
The Garden shook.

You know I just saw the gist of the speech on youtube and I thought it was a very classy thing that they did. Sure it could have been all teary like Ric Flair's thing was, but I'm glad it happened the way it did. And we did get one final great DX moment on top of it all. Thanks for everything Shawn, hope you come back to visit sometimes.
