I met HBK today!

[HBK-aholic]

It's probably better that you weren't there that night. He just got done with a match and was drenched in sweat. He had taken off his elbow pads so it was just the tights, the belt and the hat. Nothing special.

OMG

 

[klunderbunker]

Youd've been like 9 or 10 back then. Probably wouldn'tve meant as much as it would now.

 

[jpfizzle]

HBK wasn't really that big of a part of wrestling past either if you think about it.

I'd have to disagree with you there for once Luther Ol' buddy, what about the Montreal screwjob?

 

[TheBoutros]

hbk is a legend...
i met mick foley once

Meh, it was betweenn Vince, Hart and maybe Triple H. HBK hust happened to be there.

I was still obsessed lol. Difference is now I'd probably cry or faint if I met him.

 

[jpfizzle]

Well in that case I completely agree with you:

Big Show = Wrestling present, Wrestling future...

HBK = someone who was around in wrestlings past, and is around in Wrestlings present... Big Show will kill HBK within the year

 

[klunderbunker]

I'd think you'd jump him. Then faint.

 

[justinsayne]

Or tackle and rape him

 

[klunderbunker]

That's what I was thinking too. I think if she didn't take the chance with that she couldn't live with herself.

Don't get me wrong I'm not at all saying Shawn doesn't have a huge list of accomplishments because there's no doubt that he does. What I'm saying is that he has never had anything that he will forever be rememebred for. Granted retiring Flair may change that. With the screwjob, wasn't it more Hart and Vince not being able to agree and Shawn was the guy that went through with it? He was definitely a player in it but I'd say the main two were Vince and Bret.

 

[HBK-aholic]

You know what's annoying? When naming things HBK has done, or will be remembered for suddenly people are saying The Screwjob doesn't count because 'it wasn't him'. However when the hatred for people comes out regarding the Screwjob Shawn is the first on the list as being in the wrong.
*annoyed Becca*

 

[Cage917r]

Although Shawn may not have been the primary player in the Montreal Screwjob, of course the two primary players were Vince and Brett, but he will still always be remembered for being in that match. He will always be remembered for DX, he will be remembered for being the guy to retire Ric Flair, his list of accomplishments go on and on. Shawn Michaels wont remembered for one thing, he will be remember for many things because he is one of the greatest performers of all time.

ROFL.

How about 9 MOTY's?

That's just #1, I can name MANY more.

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh Shawn will be remembered. I mean he won't have one specific thing, but rather his career as a whole. There is a list of things he'll be remembered for. I didn't bother debating your list because there's nothing to argue. He's one of the best of all time but his career is a lot like the Undertakers or the original ECW. They won't be rememebed for one match or one feud or one moment, but the summation of their time in the business.

 

[Lil Wes]

Did you just compare Shawn Michaels to the original ECW?

Oh god. Other than that agreed with everything.

 

[klunderbunker]

Shawn is more important than the company. I watched the rise and fall of ecw the other night and they used that line. Just giving credit where it's due.

 

[Lil Wes]

It really doesn't deserve much credit, because it really had no change on pro wrestling, and the only change was for the worst.

 

[klunderbunker]

I never really got to watch that much of it. The one important thing it did do was allow Steve Austin to find what would work for him. Aside from that, I actually can't think of anything major that they gave to wrestling. RVD was great in wwe, but other than that, nothing huge.

 

[THE Madcap]

I still think Shawn was a main catalyst in the Screwjob. the reason it happened was because Bret didn't wanna put Shawn over. After it happened Shawn pretended he wasn't involved and then admitted to being involved later on. He is a HUGE part of it and when he hangs up his boots, he'll be a hall of famer for sure!

Lucky! Lucky!
