Stars In Progress…Johnny Ace, “Look It,” Cole, HBK & More

Shawn Michaels

One Step Up

Shawn MichaelsHBK isn't returning tomorrow night to wrestle and that bums me out, but I'll be happy to see him regardless. It means to me that WWE is genuinely trying to set up the WrestleMania rematch between Undertaker and Triple H the right way. Otherwise, I don't think you would see Michaels getting involved this early.

It will be interesting to see which direction Michaels takes this year and how it's different than his contributions last year. If he ends up being a special guest referee as rumored, that will clearly be the difference. But I'm not sure if it's enough.

I believe Shawn when he says he has no intention to ever wrestle again. And because I believe that, it takes the potential for surprise out of the match for me. There's no payoff if HBK ends up costing one or the other the match at 'Mania, so he likely won't. And while he will still be a logical and welcomed addition to the match, it won't be quite as effective as it would be if he were still an active wrestler.

Either way, I'm looking forward to the return of the Heartbreak Kid tomorrow night on Raw.
