It annoyed me when Shawn said he trained Bryan... like Punk said on commentary on Raw like 3 years ago, he just took his money, William Regal had more of a hand in training him than HBK. By that logic Jose Lothario didn't even really train Shawn and "just took his money", yet he was still on TV for a year as his manager. Heels lie and Punk was a heel at the time making insidey pandering comments. It's still not incorrect...

Heels lie and Punk was a heel at the time making insidey pandering comments. It's still not incorrect... You are though. Bryan has said himself how important having HBK as a trainer was for him, but blah blah blah CM Punk is always right blah blah blah. It's a can't win argument because nobody looks at the objective facts. Besides, nobody cares about William Regal except for a small fraction of the audience. Bob Backlund would have beaten him handily in that poll last night.

Shawn never goes away. It's the same "legends" every single time. He may as well come back in an active role, because he's there every couple months anyways. It's not a "special appearance", because it's the same shit every time. But yeah, he's already in pog form. Old news.

Thanks for admitting it, usually people just say "no you're wrong" over and over without using any facts to back it up.

i laughed at how backlund got 32% of the vote to Booker T's 7% (figured HBK would be about 75% with Booker T second) then they cut to the back where a very annoyed looking Booker T just stormed out of the shot after a token handshake to HBK.

If they had left that poll open for more than 30 minutes Backlund would have won.

It's all a conspiracy. He's there to screw Vacant out of the title! Nobody has lost more titles to Vacant than Shawn Michaels. It's time Shawn takes his revenge.

I have been behind this angle, and the general heat WWE's been getting lately, and I am always one to say 'oh yeah let's wait and see how it goes,' but no, f*** this. I wasn't happy about this at all. There are no good ways this can go. What options are there?
- HBK is not involved at all in shenanigans, meaning he is there uselessly like Foley in 2003. - He sides with Bryan, meaning the babyface wins via shenanigans anyway and giving Bryan a booster he doesn't need given that he's the hottest talent on the roster by far. - He sides against Bryan, giving us a heel turn no-one wants and tipping the balance in favour of the old farts as far as who's involved in this angle when previously it was the perfect blend of hot young talent and respectable established stars.
I'm genuinely asking here, what other ways are there that they can take this? Because none of those options seems appealing.

Triple H is so incapable of having a storyline without HBK involved it's humorous. I wouldn't be surprised if this leads to Shawn being reinstated for 1 more match against Triple H at WrestleMania. Of course Hunna wins to prove once and for all he is The King Of Kings, The Main Event, Mr. WrestleMania.

I bet HBK and HHH kiss sometimes.

They're doing it for Bryan's sake, though, to make him look more credible and give fans another reason to root for him.

Hmm, let's see... Rising star gets more and more popular. Triple H inserts himself into the angle. Things start to go downhill. Member of the Kliq turns up. Yes, this all seems fresh and promising. Don't blame me, I voted for Mr. Backlund.

Slaughter, Dusty Rhodes, Jimmy Snuka, Mick Foley, or Roddy Piper. This was a bit of an upgrade to the usual guys.

Triple H and/or his flunkies try to interfere in the match and HBK superkicks them off, allowing Bryan vs. Orton to remain a fair fight that Bryan wins clean? Though personally, even if they go with one of the other possibilities instead, I'd rate Shawn as a hell of a lot more entertaining than Orton and Bryan combined, so f*** them not getting their spotlight.

I wouldn't care if it was something as dull as Khali VS Del Rio, it feels like a backwards step to constantly bring back the old guard (particularly the Kliq) to overshadow the names that should be being built.

Actually, I think Shawn is more played out than Sgt. Slaughter is now. It's still a stupid poll. WWE knew exactly who the fans would vote for. If they really wanted us to "make a difference" they'd let us vote both participants into the match with the entire roster up for selection. That would never happen.
