I'm getting SummerSlam 97 vibes..... Bonus if he wears his legendary shorts.

I agree. HHH'll get screwed over, setting up a HBK return for another last match ever.

Yeah, there's no way Michaels is going to count the 123 if HHH has Taker beat. It'll eat at him knowing that HHH got the job done and he couldn't.

Mixed feelings on this; I love Shawn, but booking around the ambiguity of what he'll do sort of obscures the issue of who's the better man between HHH and Undertaker.
And if they have the absolute gall to book a screwy finish so that Triple H doesn't lose clean to THE UNDERTAKER, WWE can f*** right off.

No reason to bother with the better man story this year, is there? They had a clean fight last year. This year it's more the fact that the 3 of them now have this ugly, tangled thing hanging between them... well, really, Trips and HBK do, Taker being the measuring stick they're using to compete with each other. I mean, what more evidence do you need that Taker's the better man than that he'll beat them both four years in a row? Dude. WWE's not doing him any disservices here, by any stretch of the imagination.

I said this earlier in the week, but I doubt Shawn will blatantly interfere. Rather, I can see him hesitating to count the pin for HHH just for a second, causing Taker to kick out and get the win. Then we get a sad/conflicted Shawn and a Triple H that can keep saying that he won the war against Taker. I hope I'm wrong though as I would prefer a clean finish, unless it leads to another HBK match.

No way he can call this one down the middle....Trippple H is getting super kicked just as he has da Undataka pinned.

I'm thinking Trips and Taker both think Shawn will side with Trips and the week before Mania he hits both with SCM, declaring his neutrality.

Michaels as referee pretty much guarantees that there is no chance in hell Triple H is winning. Thinking more than ever the finish I predicted a week or so ago will be the case, with Taker paying back everything Trips did to him last year but being unable to finish him off until Michaels mercy-kills him.

I think HBK will try to screw Taker and force HHH to pin him. HHH kicks himself out and tells Shawn "Not like this", then Taker takes the win when HHH is distracted. I think that's how it will go.

Is Shawn the wrestler who's guest-reffed the most in his career? I feel like he's done it more than anyone else.

That or he makes people think he's on Undertaker's side but hits him with the SCM during the match and counts the pin 1...2...kick out and then Undertaker ends up winning with Shawn reluctantly counting the pin.

HBK refuses to count the 3 for HHH and Taker gets the win, then HBK hits the Sweet Chin Music on Taker and covers him and counts the 3 showing that he can beat Taker, setting up HBK vs Taker 3 at next years Wrestlemania.
Anything to keep Cena away from the streak.

And if they have the absolute gall to book a screwy finish so that Triple H doesn't lose clean to THE UNDERTAKER, WWE can f*** right off. I respectfully disagree. The story is now about whether HHH is better than Shawn with Undertaker being the guy they want to beat. I think it's important HBK is in there because if he refuses to count for Triple H, he's admitting HHH is the better competitor and Shawn is jealous of his potential achievement.

here's a quote I made in a thread when the match first came to fruition and now that HBK is the ref I will repost cause I still feel this way. My fear is that HHH is gonna win. With this build, Taker possibly ending his "deadman brand" which is arguably the allure of the streak, it's as if Taker is begging to be buried storyline wise. I am kind of expecting the HBK special referee thing, and that could lead to a cool story of having to count HHH out for the loss and thus ending his career...I just don't know what to think other than I don't want the streak to end nor do I want HHH to be the guy to do it when superior people haven't. My ideal scenario for the match ending is this. HHH hits taker with third pedigree. HBK counts 2 and refuses to count 3 because he is jealous HHH was about to do what hBK couldn't do. Altercation happens HHH gets superkicked into a tombstine, HBK tries to count fast and HHH kicks out. HBK us now faced with his betrayl and superkicks taker. HHH refuses to pin him because of HBKs interference. Taker gets up HHH goes in for final attack Taker reverses tombstone for the win and shawn slow counts.

Probably not, but his guest referee spots are always very memorable as opposed to guys like Foley and Austin. Off the top of my head I can remember him reffing: Taker vs Bret Summerslam 97 Rock vs HHH Judgment Day 2000 Rock vs HHH First Smackdown Elimination Chamber match in 2004 or 2005 And he reffed a FMW match between Hayabusa and...someone during his 1st retirement.

I'm for it. But, it needs to end with a definitive 'Taker win just so there's no more excuses for 'Taker vs Trips at 'Mania once more.
Have Triple H accused HBK of screwing him (when in fact he didn't) and set up the Triple H vs HBK match at Wrestlemania for next year.
