Shawn Michaels xeekx

I'm getting old. I can remember when he was a rookie in the old AWA. I'm surprised he still wrestles given the back problems and surgeries he's had over the years. He was a good athlete in his day. I always said one match I would have loved to have seen would have been Michaels (in his prime) vs. Rob Van Dam.

What ever happened to RVD anyway?

August 14, 2008 he won a triple threat match at the Inoki Genome Federation (http://www.anygivensaturday.com/wiki/Inoki_Genome_Federation) in Japan after defeating Kendo Kashin (http://www.anygivensaturday.com/wiki/Kendo_Kashin) and Necro Butcher (http://www.anygivensaturday.com/wiki/Necro_Butcher).

At the 2009 Royal Rumble (http://www.anygivensaturday.com/wiki/Royal_Rumble_(2009)), Van Dam made a surprise appearance as the 25th entry in the Royal Rumble match before he was eventually eliminated by Chris Jericho (http://www.anygivensaturday.com/wiki/Chris_Jericho).[145] (http://www.anygivensaturday.com/forum/#cite_note-144)

On March 9, 2009, it was announced that RVD would be competing in AWR (American Wrestling Rampage) on their European Tour, during which he won the promotion's heavyweight championship in a three way bout versus Sabu and former champion Shawn Maxer.[146] (http://www.anygivensaturday.com/forum/#cite_note-145) He won the AWR World title off Shawn Maxer on March 18th in Paris France. On March 24th 2009, he lost the AWR World Title to Rene Dupree in Bordeaux France.

Thanks for the info Travis. I'm glad to see he's still going strong.

Undefeated at Mania.

I have a feeling he'll maintain that until passing the torch down the road. You don't pass the torch to Shawn Michaels...though Michaels did end Ric Flair's career at WM24.

Did not watch the show, but heard that Undertaker-Shawn Michaels, which went just over 30 minutes, stole the show...

Heard both main events were pretty lame and that Hardy v Hardy was not given the time. Also read that Money in the Bank was okay, but not great, with plenty of blown spots, including the final spot.

To me the show was pretty good, Taker/HBK stole the show, Both blew big dives to the floor. Money in the Bank was nice as well. Triple Threat match wasn't bad and RKO/HHH was good until the ending. Ricky Steamboat still has it.

Only a couple of spots were totally blown. The ending wasn't blown at all, there was no way for it to be blown.
