All I got for the Vernal Equinox was this stupid tag
I had a bad feeling that something bad happened to him in that match tonight; Michaels couldn't even stand up after the match was over and looked to be in pain when the show was fading out. Reminded me of when Triple H got injured a few years ago and was out for a year or so.

Wonder what they're going to do about the team team championship match, since the two guys that didn't get picked to face Triple H were supposed to take on La Resistance.

You know what I would pay to see?

If HBK won, and they replicated the match he had with HHH back in the early DX days... HBK lays down, HHH runs back and forth for a few minutes, then fins HBK. HBK heel turn, DX is back so people can stfu about seeing the reunion, and then Edge can be like "I TOLD YOU TO PICK ME HOMOS"
 
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is awesome. HBK, for some inexplicable reason, was going to win the voting. I think I've seen about enough HBK vs. HHH to last me a lifetime.

Actually, I hope he retires for good now. From his shoddy mic-work to his outright burying of people like Christian, this run has been a disaster. Plus, I really don't think we need anymore wrestling/religious t-shirt tie-ins.

All I know is Shawn has produced some great matches in this run. That is something that is a rarity these days in WWE. How did he bury Christian? Christian wasn't even been around that much because of injury.

Name some. Aside from the triple threat at Wrestlemania which he had little to do with, what other quality matches has he turned out? His series with HHH in particular has been snore-inducing.

How did he bury Christian? Christian wasn't even been around that much because of injury.

Maybe "bury" was too strong of a word. He scored a clean pinfall over Christian like two weeks ago when he had nothing to gain by such a victory. Seriously, he's at a point in his career where he should really be putting over young talent and I'd be hard-pressed to come up with one feud he's had where he hasn't had the momentum coming out of it.

Shawn really should be dialing it back at this stage - and definitely not working a full schedule. I'm surprised another injury like this didn't occur much sooner during his latest run.

Anyways, I'm interested in how they explain this all away.

A meniscus tear heals fast guys. All he needs to do is get his knee scoped and he could be back at it in 4 weeks or so.

HHH comes out. HBK's music starts, but he comes out to the ramp in a suit, and gets the mic.

"You know, I found out today that I got the most votes to face HHH tonight at Taboo Tuesday. I sincerely want to thank the fans for their support, and also the man upstairs for the talent he bestowed upon me. But as I drove to the arena tonight, I thought about John Cena [wait for pop to simmer down], who was recently injured in a bar fight, and it made me remember when I was jumped by ten guys outside of a night club in Syracuse, back several years ago. I thought about that, and I thought about my life between then and now. I've been really lucky, but I think I might be pushing my limits by still being out here all these years, after my back injury and whatever damage I'll receive from Hunter tonight, and I don't know that it's worth it. I've already done everything there is to do, and people still think like this"

:pA plays Flair saying, "MICHAELS... GREAT, NO LEGEND!":

"Those words really hit home, so I think I need to go and find my smile again. Again, I want to thank you all for the cheers and years of support, but tonight I need to step aside and lets a Real World's Champion show you all how it's done."

:Flair's music hits, and he beats HHH via submission with the figure four, THEN beats Orton the same way in a submission match:

Flair: VIRGIN. I MADE YOU BLEED. WOO~!

They REALLY need to do something to turn Flair out of lacky ass-kissing HHH mode... make him heel, make him a vicious heel mgr for someone else... but damn he needs to regain the stature he once had.. wtf....

Flair sucks.

I loved how Foley ripped into him at the ROH show in Chicago Saturday for being worthless old coot with man-tits who doesnt know when his time is up.

Best wrestling show I've ever been to.

But Foley gets bent when Flair says he only had a talent for taking pain and not for wrestling, which is a fact? Huh.

Glad he sells the whole nice guy shtick on WWE TV so well, I didn't know he'd sling mud.

I'm puke green with envy. How was Joe/Punk?

Why not sling a little back when someone starts talking shit like Flair did. I'm not even the biggest Foley fan but everything he said about Flair was true. The guy should have given it up atleast 5 years ago. He's about as entertaining as Kevin Nash in the ring these days.

Hell even Steamboat who retired 11 years ago looks better than flair in the ring.

Well I'm sure that I'm more than a little biased cuz I saw this one live but I thought it was better than their first meeting. Pretty much everyone knew going in Joe would retain but they had us going crazy the last 15 minutes of the match thinking Punk might actually have a chance.

And for anyone that cares it seems Steamboat is playing Flair in their fued. He called Foley's stlye garbage wrestling saying his pure wrestlers could beat Foley's chosen hardcore wrestlers anydays(which they did in their first meeting).

His matches with jericho (the one at wm19)


and pretty much anyone other than hunter (I agree with you there if only because hunter has 3 moves after his injury, at least hbk does his moonsault still, broken back an all

Too bad you can vote more than once. But the number entering thing pretty much guarantees no one votes more than 3 times.

- WWE would prefer for Michaels to face Triple H in tonight’s main event for the World Title, but if Benoit wins the voting, then the voting will not be fixed and they will allow for Benoit to get the shot. But do expect a title change tonight. The idea will be sold that the fans caused a title change and at least one of the other two wrestlers, most likely Edge, would be made because it felt that he deserved to get the title shot and fans didn’t pick him. Whoever wins the title tonight will have a short reign as the champion as Triple H will have to have the title by the time Royal Rumble approaches.

- During Sunday Night Heat’s taping, La Resistance was not announced as the champions. WWE’s original plan was for there to be a tag title switch at Taboo Tuesday. With the recent injury to Shawn Michaels this plan could have change.

...rajah.com

Hopefully that's true and Benoit gets the shot and then they suddenly reailize that Benoit = best wrestler on Raw and make him hold the belt until WMXVI where he beats Eddie Gurerro in an Iron Man Ladder match and retires with the belt...

Rajah also reported earlier that the WWE wanted
Michaels to get the title shot, and Rhyno to get the IC title shot, so it will be interesting to see who wins. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the votes really meant squat.

I'll add the Orton one as well and he got a good match out of Kane. HBK, as old as he is can still work, IMO. The promos are week because he only used sexual innuendo and tough talk in the past. That doesn't really go with his lifestyle now.
 
Ok but now:

Shawn has been chosen, and he will indeed be wrestling(and even did say that he was injured), he said he would give his best.


How the fuck do they get through it.
 
what muscle is that anyways? I know its in the knee


if shawn could wrestle the match at wm15 with a broken lower back I think he can get through the torn knee altho I dont see him having the title long (maybe forfeit due to injury and have a wrestling tourney for it? havent seen that since wm4).

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
it was a ok PPV. Great first match....Then seeing Kane get what he's done to to others....then the entire title match with HBK and the cage match. The rest was kinda lame. Especially the Eugene/Eric match. Ended so quick, Vince was in the ring talking for a good 10 minutes.
