    Would anyone like to see him get another title run?

    Ok he doesnt really need another title run but he is one the best workers in WWE at the moment and he is Mr. Wrestlemania and with his current storyline with JBL it would nice to have it end with him getting a title match at WM - its a shame he is out of the RR (fingers crossed he still might enter) it would see him win again

    hbk winning another title would probably equal my greatest markout moment in pro-wrestling. its hard to believe he has only won 3 wwf titles in his time and of course that three week world title reign in 2002 :( thats nothing especially when you consider HHH with 12 titles and rock with like 7 or 8 in his short time there

    flair was winning world title after world title in his early 40s, i can't see how putting the belt on shawn for say 3-4 months would harm the product, his workrate far exceeds 90% of the current roster, its seems a logical choice i would have thought

    One of the greatest of all time (debatably the greatest). He deserves another run.

    source?

    source?

    We need to source predicitions now? I wouldnt be suprised if he did either, his workrate puts guys half his age to shame, when you look at guys like Carlito, who do nothing but bitch and whinge then do nothing with whats given them, and then look at Shawn, who could get in the ring on his own and have a better match with himself than some of the guys on the roster

    Sorry bro, thought you were saying it was definite. :o

    Because i agree with you.

    :p i was waiting to see who would say that

    It would be a good story line if shawn did win the title and JBL blackmailed him to give it to him as he is his employer, then JBL would then defend it illegally and a wrestler would beat him then have it over ruled as shawn didn't defend his title, a bit a fair fetched i know!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,954 ✭✭✭✭citytillidie


    Doubt he will be in a title match in WM25 unless JBL beat Cena at the Royal Rumble.

    Match for WM25 will be JBL V HBK

    ******

    Both JBL and HBK are from Texas. WM 25 is coming from Texas. For an end to their current storyline it would make sense for HBK to win the title from JBL at WM - JBL might win at RR against Cena or at No Way Out in the Elimination Chamber Match

    Opinions !

    Its very possible - however, do you think they'll take the title off Cena already?

    with raw ratings as good as anytime in the last 10 months

    be a brave man or woman that would take the strap off of cena atm and put it on jbl :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 780 ✭✭✭jossnjuice


    just got me thinking......i have a sneakin suspicion that it could end up with austin and micheals at wm. dont ask me how were goin to get to that point and not even sure if austins neck is up to it.......that would get vinces comeback seriously seriously over!!!!!

    Then possibly HBK v Cena v JBL?
    Triple Threat?


    There are so many ways this could go to be honest, theres way too many possibilities.
    For once mania is hard to call :eek:

    Last year it was universally known at SS that taker would get the strap!

    I hope somehow Michaels will be allowed in the RR and wins so he can headline WM again after all he is Mr. Wrestlemania

    Hopefully - what better way to celebrate the 25th anniversary than to have Mr Wrestlemania headline it!

    I hope so too. With Wrestlemania being in Texas as well, ya just never know. Here's to hoping anyway!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,365 ✭✭✭Crash Bang Wall


    I reckon there will be some sort of alliance between Cena and HBK after the Rumble.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 542 ✭✭✭Evolution Enter


    Michaels is my all time favourite, but with him walking around like he needs a hip replacement and the god awful sulky face he puts on TV all the time, don't see him getting anywhere near the title

    Thought it mey be time for a bump on this one.

    I think HBK has been fantastic in the last few weeks. In fact since wrestklemania last year he was great. It would be a dream to see him hold the title again. His work with Jericho, JBL and now taker has been amazing. Even if he only held the title for a month or so i'd be happy. The return of the cheeky cocky HBK would be a great foil for Ortons bully, hit from behind, cheat and creepy attitude.


    If orton comes out as champ from his feud with HHH maybe HBK could be next?

    EDIT: In fact i can't remember a time he wasn't fantastic even before last years mania.

    If you read the thread you would see he doesnt want another title run as that would mean a hell of a lot of house shows :)

    I thin k his recent work makes dicussion worthy again.

    Even just a one month run, or even just a couple of weeks if he won on raw. Lets say a champ put a challenger out for a week and as punishment was made defend against HBK. HBK wins and two weeks later there is a triple threat at the PPV. Just and idea but a way of giving him the title he deseves but without increasing the workload.

    It would make him look weak though..Look at Orton at Summerslam 04 and then losing to HHH less than a month later..That crushed him

    Triple Threat, he wouldn't have to lose :D

    Edit: Also giving him as short wwe title run would have an extra benefit, it wouldn't take away from the belt. In three years only 5 guys have been wwe champ.

    Edge RVD & John Cena Philadelphia 07-03-06
    John Cena Edge Toronto 09-17-06
    Randy Orton n/a Chicago 10-07-07
    Triple H Randy Orton Chicago 10-07-07
    Randy Orton Triple H Chicago 10-07-07
    Triple H Randy Orton Baltimore 04-27-08
    Edge Triple H Boston 11-23-08
    Jeff Hardy Edge Buffalo, N.Y. 12-14-08
    Edge Jeff Hardy Detroit 01-25-09
    Triple H n/a Seattle 02-15-09

    There's a difference between a well established main eventer and a, at then, relatively young guy on the cusp of main events.

    It wont make him look weak if he loses in the right fashion.

    I've been catching up on some of Shawn's work over the last few months, he is definatley top of his game at the moment, but I don't think he needs another World title run. It's the same with Ric Flair, he never needed a 17th World title reign, we all would have loved it, it wouldn't have ruined business, but he didn't want i and I'm sure Shawn doesn't either.
