What was anyone expecting? Everyone knows when an old guy comes back they just insult/beat up Rusev and leave. Rock did it. Goldberg did it. Now HBK's done it. It was pointless but expected.

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. Sid hit Shawn with the camera too. Outside the ring before powerbombing him. Shawn hitting Sid with the camera before winning with Sweet Chin Music at the Rumble was simple reciprocation. |

There was no magic..no hbk charm and his old promos that used to captivate the audience seem to be long gone.
I only like when old guys come back and it's a true mark out moment and they capture that old magic or really put someone over. Hbk has always been fairly terrible at it and the wwe writers in general suck at booking one off appearances by legends.

Madness, Sid would never do this and there's no evidence to show he ever did. His record is clean. A hero to millions, and also THE MAN WHO RULES THE WORLD. |

Long gone are the days when a veteran wrestler would come in and do something cool. There are novelty acts and doing things as safe as possible. Although I must when Shawn talked to Seth last year, it was pretty well done.

I'm not sure what to make of that movie he was there to shill. The main character is played by Brett Dalton, so if I were to watch it, I'd spend the entire movie saying "Kill Ward. Somebody f***ing kill Ward. I don't care who it is, kill Ward!" |

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. I'd bet my house that he will have at least ONE MORE MATCH...if he stays healthy in the next 5 years |

Even sadder when you think that Big Dave wanted to come back to promote *Guardians* and HHH said, "Meh."

If this was the Attitude era, HBK would pimping the movie "The Erection of Evan Stone" on Raw.
HBK's movie is one of those that will sell good in Walmart to the demographic who loves Kurt Cameron movies.

Now if only Rusev or Cesaro or someone like that gets to play the villain in a big budget film released in theaters and have a scene where out of the blue they just wreck the set and p*** all over the other characters and yell obscenities toward the director and crew accompanied by a thumbs up directly into the camera saying, "For more of this, tune in Monday nights on USA; it gets even better."

He has no connection to the current active roster, no friends, no relatives, no trainees he's interacted with on camera in the past so what were people really expecting? His story has a beginning, middle and end, he's retired and did so on his own terms, he has no void he needs to fill with one more match, unlike those who retire due to injury or falling out with Vince.

I for one think it was really neat that Vince has finally reached the year 2002 and is snickering about The Pianist like 12 year-old me did for about two seconds.

Whys it always gotta be Rusev man? The dude is above this shit, he has jobbed out to THREE Veterans now in Rock, HBK, and Goldberg, and if you count Mania Foley and Austin as well in League of Nations.
Dude cuts some of the best promos in wrestling right now and has some of the most all around Talent to match it, he should be beyond Veteran Fodder, Roman Reigns Fodder, or worst of all friggen Enzo Amore and Big Cass Fodder. He's gonna be the next "Should have won the world title multiple times and never won it once" story at this pace...

Honestly, my standards for Michaels are so low, if he's not openly and explicitly mocking another wrestler for not being on steroids, I'm happy.

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. He's also going to spell out "HBK", with a flamethrower. ....I'd watch the hell out of that  Only if he actually continued the "Shawn Michales is confounded by technology" bit first |
