What if he went part time like Taker and HHH? Until around 2018 or so. I think he would of faced the Rock in 2012, lost to him and then everything else happens the same way it did with Cena winning at mania 29

Definitely Punk & Bryan feuds I would have imagined. HBK v Lesnar would also have been electric.

When he broke his arm, that should've been enough for him to come out of retirement. Wrestlemania 29 was built for HBK getting revenge for both him and HHH getting tormented by Lesnar in 2012. HHH loses to Brock at Summerslam 2012 as still planned. And HBK returns in 2013 to get revenge for both. It completely wrote itself.

It would have eliminated the need to see Triple H vs. Undertaker two more times at WrestleMania. Heck, you could even free up Shawn to face JBL at WrestleMania 26 and gotten more of a proper full finish to that feud.
Undertaker vs. Sheamus at WrestleMania 27 Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 28
Oh and for WrestleMania 26...here's a wild idea...have Undertaker be Vince's muscle against Bret. Couldn't be worse than anything we got with Vince. You can still have Taker win, and have Bret beat down Vince after the match, once Taker leaves Vince behind.

Umm…, the only thing is that Bret couldn’t take a bump due to that severe concussion that Goldberg gave him and the bicycle crash which caused him to have a stroke. How does Taker beat him at WM if Bret couldn’t bump for Taker? Do they do a cinematic match or some smoke and mirrors and if the latter, how?

I'm not expecting it to be a good match, but at least it's better on paper than Bret facing Vince. I'm sure Taker can perform a safe tombstone on Bret. I don't mind having Bret just go into the match and fight dirty to survive as long as he can, something similar that he did with Vince. If anything, I think you would need less smoke and mirrors than you would with what we actually got Honestly, I was just thinking outside the box as far as giving Taker a variety of opponents moreso than anything else. Don't get me wrong, I expect the match to be terrible. Kind of makes me wonder why I would book it instead of the Taker classic we actually got. Oh well.

You could tell they really wanted to do a program with Bryan but he wouldn't budge...for at least a few years.

I would have had Shawn take time off after Wrestlemania 26 and have him return during the Nexus storyline as part of Team WWE, perhaps replace John Morrison with him with the added twist of Bret and Shawn having to co-exist to save the WWE together.
From there I would have had him take time off again before returning in the build up of Wrestlemania 27 with a run-in during Triple H/Taker.
I would have had him in the Nash role during the Punk angle with Triple H culminating with Shawn vs Punk instead of Triple H vs Punk and perhaps it leads to one more match with him and Triple H at TLC.
I would have brought him back down the line as part of The Authority angle and have him face Daniel Bryan at some point on Pay Per View between Summerslam 2013 and Wrestlemania 30.
Perhaps its him and the Outlaws vs The Shield at Wrestlemania. The Shield gets over big destroying the founder of DX and two of their members in one night.
I would have had him face Brock too at some stage during Brock's 2014/15 WWE Title run.
Shawn vs Seth Rollins would have been my Wrestlemania 31 booking. Roman wouldn't be too far behind after.
After that...AJ Styles at Royal Rumble 17 would have been my plan but thats as far as I'll go because I can't see Shawn wrestling into the 20s unless its very very sparodically.
