I never understood why they got Dianna involved. It didn't seem to add a whole lot to the feud and she didn't seem to be around long enough for a decent pay off. Maybe I just have a bad memory and she did add something to their feud, but I don't think so....

What? HBK was at the top of the card till a back injury put him out for 4 years, and he came stright back into the man event. By which point he was not really needed, and there were no efforts to move him into the main event as anything other than a tease at a spoiler. Michaels's best years were well behind him by the time he returned, and his closest rivals size- and skill-wise were habitually destroying each other in spotfests, then taking only a few months off to recover from worse than it took him four years. Had Michaels been more reliable as a worker during his tenure with WWE, and less of the egomaniac he appeared to demonstrate throughout 1996 and 1997, his main event spot might have been more secure. As it turned out, he ended up making himself expendable to WWE, surplus to requirements at the very least, and unemployable to almost any other promotion. Surplus to requirements? Maybe, butthe same way that Randy Orton is, a great headliner, but they'd get by without him, any promotion in America or Europe would give anything to employ him, he's just always been under WWF contract, even when he was unable to wrestle, on all kinds of drugs, they kept him on their payroll, that says a lot to me about how much they value him. As for no BIG main event run, he got a world title, wrestled every main eventer several times, on a light schedule to protect his health. A light scedule shared only with one guy, the Undertaker, who also in the last few years has wrestled main eventers, held the belt but never been THE guy. I'm sorry but that kind of treatment makes me think they value him incredibly highly.
