So they announce an appearance by hbk on raw... and he comes out in his casual retired hbk hunting clothes. Huffing and puffing from walking to the ring. Shoots down any chant from the crowd and announces he is there to talk about his movie only. So is every hbk appearance diminishing his legacy or does it still work?

To be fair, they did say he was going to be in that movie, so it made sense for him to talk about it. It's certainly okay to not have liked it, but I wasn't expecting him to talk solely about wrestling.

Trying to think of a big long list of things I would rather do than watch a movie with Shawn Michaels in it in 2017 and right at number 1 is attempt to nail my on fire face to a speeding ambulance full of used condoms

HBK is still the G.O.A.T. to me so he can practically do no wrong.......
CM Punk will hold a WWE World Title again before HBK wrestles another match. There's a thousand and five things crowds could chant at him...begging him to break his retirement for one more match shouldn't be one of them.
Besides, that stip was from a match with 'Taker. Shawn don't wanna do anything that might cause 'Taker to get the tape out of bag again.

Did we learn nothing from Mania?
The man came practically in ring shape to do a run-in just because he thought he had to wear his gear out there.
Dude could come back today and have a match of the year candidate if he really wanted. Shawn is that dude and will always be that dude.

It made sense to bring him out to hype Royal Rumble coming to San Antonio. Thought he would at least announce he's going to "host" the show or something. He only wanted to promote his movie. Pianists.

Yeah but the longer he keeps appearing the more he has Bill Cosby eye.

The segment achieved the sum total of f*** all. He pimped a film no one will watch, and then incorporated five current performers into it and it did none of them any favours.

POSSIBLY a thread here...) that the ring gear thing was a rib on Shawn?

I was hoping he would say he would be at the Rumble in some capacity, but ah well, glad to see he's still in great shape after all these years.

Ideally he should be arrested when he attends the Royal Rumble event in Texas after he cheated to win the title back by assaulting Sid with a TV camera. People can say it was payback all they want but Sid had the decency to brain Jose Lothario with it rather than the performer he was already valiantly defeating. Besides which, Jose Lothario was trying to interfere with the match and simply made his ass a part of the game.

I wasn't expecting jack shit, to be honest. Then again, part of it is that I've never been a huge HBK fan, so it was hard to get hyped for it.

Terrible segment. Nothing about it worked. It made all the "faces" look like dicks.

To be fair he had a beef as it was a long con and HBK wanted to be the one to deck Lothario first. It was justified in my eyes

If you was expecting anything more than "cool uncle/dad" HBK you were wrong

It's been 7 years since HBK last wrestled and 99.1% of the times he's appeared since then it's always the same thing lame comedy and him acting winded.I wasn't expecting anything different and I'm saying that as a guy that considers HBK his favorite wrestler....I'm talking Sasha Banks levels of fandom.

Never seen a crowd deflate so fast once he started to talk about that boring looking film. Though I hope Cinema Snob does a review on it just to get some kind of entertainment. Though I was equally annoyed by Undertaker. Kind of makes Smackdown look like crap when just a few months ago Taker states he's back and with Smackdown. Now he's like lol nvm I'm with nobody.

He didn't do a good job of getting Gavin Stone over, either.
