    HBK Talks About Fighting The Undertaker

    HBK Speaks on Wrestling Undertaker, His Family, WM, More

    I listened to Shawn Michaels on Kiss Rocks out of San Antonio on Friday. He talked about WrestleMania and admitted thinking that Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak being broken at “Mr.WrestleMania” would be cool.
    The big news he gave was that he has already given the office the date he is going to be walking away. Shawn never said the word retiring but that is what it was suggesting.
    HBK said he came back to WWE with the intention o working one match. “That was about six years ago,” he laughed. He specifically mentioned that Undertaker’s streak vs. Mr. WrestleMania has to happen sooner or later, so it sounds like that match will take place at WrestleMania 25.
    He said he’s been approached about acting. He also noted that his kids doing fine, Rebecca starting up her own business, and he has plans for what he will do after WWE. He said he will be with the WWE in some form always and suggested that he would still do PR work. I found it more telling of how different he is from his hero Ric Flair was this year in the sense of peace of walking away.

    I don't watch WWE anymore but that would be a match I'd like to see.

    I think JR mentioned talking to HBK recently and he guessed that HBK would retire at WM 26.

    Still amazes me how great Shawn was after he came back from the 4-year layoff. In many ways, his overall game improved with the time off, and obviously, his attitude is much better than it was in the past. One of the all-time greats.

      I might buy Wrestlemania for once just to see HBK vs. Undertaker; Undertaker still is and probably will always be my favorite wrestler, while Shawn Michaels is arguably the best in-ring performer from bell-to-bell to ever step into the squared circle.

        Same here.

        A couple years back I remember HBK VS Undertacker in the rumble being the last two and that was just awesome. A Wrestlemania match would be even more awesome.

          I'm not as big on Taker's matches (I'm a big fan of the Taker character, just kinda tired of the big guy matches he does), and I'd buy HBK/Taker at Wrestlemania in a heartbeat.

          I'm in a wrestling down time too, I usually watch spring/summer when not much is on, fall is too busy for me to watch regularly.

            I haven't been following much the past few years, but this would be awesome to see. Two guys I've enjoyed watching from back in the day who can still bring it.

              the hbk vs taker feud back in late 90's was one of the best ones in that era. And the matches that ended in no contests gave way to the idea of hell in a cell. I would love one more hbk vs taker match. But i wonder if the stip might be career vs the wrestlemania streak? We shall see about that

                I'll definitely order WM if they go at it at Wrestlemania. Been a while since I ordered a WWE(F) PPV event. I think the last one I seen was "Invasion".

                  If someone asked me which wrestler past or present you would want to see in a 'Mania main event it would be Shawn Michaels without a doubt.
                  Wrestlemania 12 - Hart v Michaels does not get the respect deserved.
