"The boyhood dream has come true"
Do you think this boy... I mean this sexy boy could've extended his career even just a year or two? As we can remember, he retired in Wrestlemania 26 to face his consequence in the "Career vs. Streak" match with The Undertaker, but who knows? He still can wrestle up until Wrestlemania 28 where he's the referee of the "End of an Era" Hell in a Cell match. HBK is truly a decorated superstar and he has nothing to prove anymore because we already witnessed why he is Mr. Wrestlemania.
2010 is a year when he is obsessed on beating Undertaker's streak after last year's epic match and others named it as their greatest match of all time, one match ain't enough for their heated rivalry that's why HBK demanded to ask The Phenom one more match and he will do anything for The Undertaker to accept his challenge.
They gave us so many hints that Michaels is capable of beating The Undertaker at Wrestlemania due to the drama they've brought from 2009's Slammy Awards up to Elimination Chamber 2010 PPV where he have provoked Undertaker and made him lose the World Heavyweight Championship due to his interference. But what could've been the outcome and possible storylines of Shawn Michaels if he continued his legendary career? This is just my opinion and share me the stories you're thinking for us to discuss and be amazed on how good you guys to book a match and a storyline. I'm giving you my 5 possible stories for Shawn Michaels:
Of course, after a grueling match is a legendary performance for both, yet a legacy has been cemented to HBK and he's not only a legend, but can be also in the Mount Rushmore of the company. Me personally, I consider The Undertaker as my greatest because for me, being in a wrestling history to win 21 wins straight on the biggest event is a better achievement than a World Title count.
World Heavyweight Champion:
Of course, he have made history in Wrestlemania to put an end to a legendary streak, why not put gold in his waist one more time to give HBK his credit. Draft HBK to Smack Down and compete for the World Heavyweight Championship because rumors tell that Shawn hated the WWE Championship spinner belt and willing to win it unless he will use the undisputed one. As what I've said earlier, HBK has already nothing to prove because he is already a successful superstar yet this championship will only symbolize his dominance and credibility of a top-guy at his age at this moment. He can also lift careers of that young Smack Down core.
Possible Wrestlemania 27 Main Event:
Some people say that Wrestlemania 27 is a lackluster event because of the main event is only focused on the next year's Wrestlemania. Another Wrestlemania match for HBK and Undertaker could've headline it for the World Heavyweight Championship and this time, Undertaker will win and could've won the 2011 Royal Rumble instead of Alberto Del Rio for the opportunity in the World title scene in Wrestlemania. This is also the first time where a trilogy of a rivalry will occur in Wrestlemania for 3 straight times unlike other rivalries where they may meet 3 times but in interval instances such as The Rock vs Austin, Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar. This is a rivalry that can really lift the drama of the entire Wrestlemania 27. This is also a great counterpart as main event of Smack Down because Raw is busy on building up John Cena vs The Rock for the next year.
End of an Era could've been a Triple Threat:
I know it's redundant for HBK to be World Heavyweight Champion or either of them in the picture because they all deserve it for multiple times and yet they're still not a bad choice on who will carry it. This 3 legends elevated the Attitude Era alongside The Rock and Steve Austin. Triple H should've won this and mark Undertaker's last title picture and make Shawn Michaels his last few years in the company.
Reunite DX and destroy Nexus:
The same year HBK retired is the year Nexus have invaded Monday Night Raw and targeted John Cena, but what if these 2 superstars combined is a force that can fit team Cena or maybe manhandled the Nexus just as what they've done to the Spirit Squad in 2006-2007. They won't bury the Nexus like what Cena's ego have done, they may give them better storyline, better matches and most of all better careers if they've been more memorable because of their rivalry with DX same as the Legacy.
Make him a grand slam champion:
One last moment I want to see is Shawn Michaels to be a United States Champion to make his resume a grand slam champion. He may be entitled a grand slam because he won the European Champion later retired and made it the United States championship. Remember in 2010 where Bret Hart has been a US Champ? That's one perfect opportunity for an unfinished business although Bret doesn't seem to fit the competition that time, HBK is a credible superstar to carry it through.
To finalize this topic, that's how good Shawn Michaels is, he can win or lose a match without burying his career. Shawn has put over some young stars back then such as John Cena, Batista and Randy Orton, yet HBK's career doesn't seem to be affected by those losses but made him a better in-ring competitor. Let me know in the comments on what could possibly be Shawn Michaels' retirement match if he did beat the streak. Stay tuned for more guys and thanks for reading.
