CM Sunny Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Apparently at a house show on Monday Evan Bourne broke his foot in 4 places which caused it to be dislocated in 5 other places. After speaking with sources, WZ has learned that WWE involved Shawn Michaels in the Hell in a Cell match between Triple H and The Undertaker with a tentative plan to set up HBK's involvement at WrestleMania 29. It is believed that the current plan in mind is to run some kind of finish to the Hell in a Cell match that causes Triple H to call out Shawn Michaels the next night on RAW. The plan that is circulating behind the scenes in WWE is that Triple H and HBK would have a verbal confrontation that leads to a match at WrestleMania 29. It has been reported that WWE wants to announce one of the big matches for WrestleMania 29 soon, giving a year to promote it just as they did with The Rock and John Cena – an HBK vs HHH match could be that main event bout.

Stevie G Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Still dont think Shawn will go back on his word .The only chance he might come out is if Triple H wants to Wrestle his last match against Shawn but considering HHH is gonna own the business I see no point in him retiring . I just think this is one of the curveballs thrown to put everyone offguard IMO Taker wins Clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I really wish they wouldnt announce and build up matches that early. Look at Rock Cena. Its pretty much fizzled out by now. Hard to give a sh*t. Anyway back to HBK. That Ladder match with Razor Ramon (or HBK vs the Ladder with Razor Ramon as guest participant ) hasnt really aged that well. There are MANY better ladder matches. But it was the first Ladder match in the WWE (AFAIK) so its special. So basically in the WWE, HBK has been in the first ever Ladder match, first ever Hell in a cell, first ever Iron man and first ever Elimination Chamber. Thats impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya we dont need 1 year build up to a match .2 months at most Not only that hes refereed a Chamber match,an iron man match and now HIAC .I want him to come back and be the Permanent GM of Raw or as the commissioner . Quite honestly HBK and Taker is WWF/E No Disrespect to Rock or Austin fans but HBK and Taker are the 2 cornerstones of the company Edited March 26, 2012 by Thank u Rahul Dravid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM Sunny Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 his kids are at that school age, Idk what is he doing back home, Iguess he would want to be back in action. Hard to let it go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie G Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 The hype would have actually worked had The Rock not wrestled at Survivor Series.They could have built it as Rocks first match in 8 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie G Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) his kids are at that school age, Idk what is he doing back home, Iguess he would want to be back in action. Hard to let it go See his farewell speech or his last words at Wm 26 "I'm going to drive my kids nuts after three weeks" The guy deserves to rest now .The way he retired was perfect,right when he was at the top of his game and on his own terms.I actually hate it when legends tarnish their legacy by staying too long .He for me is the perfect example on how to retire.

Well, in my opinion, it paves a way for a grand exit, but is it the best method? Like a famous cricketer recently said, people retiring at their top form is really selfish. it means they can give a lot more to the industry instead of the last great match.

Aftrunner Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I think the concept of retiring is pointless for wrestlers. They never stay retired anyway. So if someone does retire, its pretty much given its a temp thing. Even if its done after a "If you lose you retire match" eg Foley, Rick Flair etc. Unless its an injury that stops them from wrestling eg. Edge, Austin etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a famous cricketer recently said, people retiring at their top form is really selfish. it means they can give a lot more to the industry instead of the last great match. .In terms of a team game I agree with Sachin u should only retire if u can add nothing more to the team as that would be the ultimate act for the team.Here Shawn is not representing a team nor is WWE under threat from WCW before . Also he told them even before the WM 25 match that he would retire at WM 26 so they had ample time to get someone to replace him (I know replacing him is impossible but getting an alternative is possible like John Morrison) Agreed he could still Wrestle and give a match better than 99% of the roster but hes wrestled for almost 25 years and his style being a high flyer is very risky and he has suffered so many injuries including what was a career threatening injury . Also i read in an interview that he feels continuous pain in those knees and that famous back . IMO he has a right to leave the way he left on his own terms and in good shape Edited March 26, 2012 by Thank u Rahul Dravid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge and Austin are 2 great wrestlers and its that what I compare with Shawn.Shawn spent more years Wrestling and he went on his own terms.Edge and Austin unfortunately could not and thats why Im happy that Shawn went not due to an injury like in 1998 . He was able to finish what he started in 1987 .How many Wrestlers can say they had their last match against the undertaker in the MainEvent of Wrestlemania and that match was the match of the year.Also that storyline which was his end is such an amazing an Awesome story that even now HHH and Taker are feeding on it .I dont think Shawn could have retired in a better way Edited March 26, 2012 by Thank u Rahul Dravid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie G Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 What happened to Edge? You donno He had a serious neck injury and he was not clear to compete and hence he retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarishProGamer Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 We can't simply say How a Wrestler should retire..... They have given their every ounce of blood to this industry. since past two decades. Its kinda hard to let it go. Its their passion and commitment to work untill and unless something serious happens their conscience doesn't allow. Thats what i feel. Also those are the things that makes something special about HBK, The Nature Boy, Foley.. who keeps on coming here and there just to link with this business. Speaking on HIAC, There are very few chances of Taker going for a clean win! I mean how can you say when Mr. Wrestlemania is involved between HHH & Taker and he doesn't do anything extraordinary? As he promised he will try to steal the show as much as the other two. You don't have to wrestle to make it special... I mean.. Anyway.. Its better to witness that match. I say all three will play tremendous role in that Epic HIAC which should become the Match of the Cards... unless That SO called Super Hyped "Once In a Lifetime" does something special. I would love to watch it. Next year wrestlemania, There will be Taker vs DX for One Last time or HHH vs HBK. I don't mind either of them, I just want it to be the Main Event. Taker introduced Hell in a Cell, Burried Alive, The Last Ride, Casket Match, Inferno Match,Boiler Room Brawl...... much like The Heart Break kid....

Stevie G Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 The most predictable outcome is HBK screwing HHH but I donno how much credibility will that give Taker.Remember Taker begged HHH for this match so that he could prove a point.The match he won last year as well. So I wonder how it would make sense for Taker to need a Helping hand or in this case a helping kick to win . I just hope HHH has the balls to let Taker win cleanly instead of using Shawn as a reason for his loss. As much as I like Shawn Michaels I dont want him to turn heel at this point of his career.The match should be about Taker and HHH not about Shawn screwing Triple H i just hope we dont see the predictable superkick and instead we see either these 2 Legends going face to face with a clean Taker win or if they wanna involve Shawn than have him screw Taker . Screwing Taker would be the ultimate shock to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takers Legacy is far greater than the simple 19-0 statistic but sadly people will remember Taker more for the Streak than his Legacy. The Streak has basically become what Taker is 20 plus years at the top Edited March 26, 2012 by Thank u Rahul Dravid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarishProGamer Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Takers Legacy is far greater than the simple 19-0 statistic but sadly people will remember Taker more for the Streak than his Legacy. The Streak has basically become what Taker is 20 plus years at the top The Streak was not noticed before because none of those matches were special nor they stole the show!, It came into picture When The Legend Killer Orton tried to end Undertaker's Streak with the help of his dad, still failed. Also I remember, During Taker's Deadman Return gimmick @ Wretlemania XX where JR said "Remember Undertaker has never lost a match @ Wrestlemania!" From there the Streak matches got interesting.... every year. And it reached the Highest Point at WM 25 where it almost saved the entire 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania! Then it went to reach in its Ultimate Glory where even no more championships could match the Main event @ WM 26 (Streak vs Career, A Career in the making of 25 Years of Mr. Wrestlemania!! and a Streak @ 17-0 What else in Wrestling World can beat this type of Hype!). That was the Ultimatum. At that point no match can reach the level of Streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushy Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 So, you guys watching it live or downloading it later?? I wanna catch it live but staying up or getting up at that time is a chore. Plus there is always the annoying part of finding a good stream and not having the net drop out on you. Also its WM and I wanna see it in the best quality possible. gonna watch it.....Live then later a HD print Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
