Anybody else wondering whose power made it to be that Shawn is the ref? Seems like Triple H should be calling all the shots here when it comes to this match. Not somebody else. I know the simple assumption is Laurinaitis, but shouldn't Triple H just be like "Screw what Laurinaitis says, you're not the ref Shawn." Instead, he's just going along with it like "Oh darn it... I guess there's no arguing with that decision."

It doesn't gel with his whole "I don't want to be the one to end the Undertaker" schtick though.

Who would have thought that the addition of HBK would significantly decrease my interest in the match. I wanted an epic showdown without shenanigans.

This and the Cell have added an interest to me in that match that I really didn't have all the way up to about a month ago.
We already know who the better man is - it's the big guy that won clean in two previous attempts - this time round there's different element involved with HBK.

Actually if I am Taker I wouldn't be too thrilled with HBK reffing my match again. As noted Shawn screwed him at SS 97 against Bret, so in storyline Taker should be angry at this development. Ironically it was that Summerslam match and the aftermath that led to the formation of DX, since HHH joined Shawn right after that and beat Taker down.

I think/hope the intrigue will be there as to whether or not HBK will interfere, but he'll end up calling it right down the middle.

Even so, Triple H still should have been more inquisitive/reluctant about the decision. He was just like "Gah... I guess I am pretty upset about this... Oh well..."

Triple H should be like: "Shawn is clearly not in the right mind to be refereeing this match... He has far too much of a personal investment in both opponents, and he has shown clear bias in his past when he was the special guest referee in other matches... ... as proof of this, I would like to call down to the ring, right now,..... this man..." *points to the entrance stage* ♫ JUST LOOK AT ME ♫

HHH finger pokes of doom The Undertaker. He pins him ending the streak. They all get up laughing and hugging and all pull out DX shirts reforming DX with The Undertaker now a member.

Ah memories. Im all for Shawn as ref. If there is ever a time to not hold back with matches, and put all the eggs in one basket, its on the Mania cards imo.

Since WM is in Miami, HBK Should come out wearing a Shirt with flowers on it and bermuda Shorts. In other words, He should come out dressed as Jimmy Buffett

And Triple H sure as hell wasn't going "Oh, well". He had a very angry look on him. He also had a mic in his hand and didn't think to use it. I'm not blaming Triple H... I'm just pointing out a hole in the writing here... I understand that wrestling storylines are never going to be Oscar-calibur, but they can try a little harder to be sometimes. This is the streak we are talking about here.

This is the streak we are talking about here. To their credit, the commentators did question who would make HBK the ref during Raw and said, if I'm not mistaken, that there was almost no way that Laurinaitis or Long could be behind it. And, in my mind, the guy behind it is Vince (in kayfabe he's still the Chairman and CEO of WWE, he just no longer in charge of Raw) and he'll be the one who announces the GM match for Wrestlemania.
