More On Shawn Michaels’ Future, Jim Ross’ WM26 Absence

— The word going around is that Vince McMahon directly made the decision to keep Jim Ross out of the commentary booth for WWE WrestleMania 26. Little substantial was discussed regarding the motivations and implications, although his absence in general was one of the big talking points throughout the weekend.

— Though Shawn Michaels maintains that he is done wrestling, reports say he might still end up making appearances down the road, possibly in a capacity similar to that of Steve Austin. Of course, for as sincere as Michaels reportedly is when discussing his retirement, there is definitely a portion of the industry that doubts whether he will be able to truly say no to ever wrestling again.

  1. I truly believe Shawn is done. During his speech tonight on Raw when he said that he did not want to back on his word that he gave the Undertaker and the fans was, what I believe, to be a shot at Ric Flair and Flair turning his back on the sendoff he received when he retired. Also, the part about not wanting to work for anyone but vince was directed at Dixie Carter as a way of saying “Don’t even bother trying”. Now, let’s just see if he truly is a man of word but he appeared to be truly sincere and spoke from the heart.

    You will be missed HBK but never forgotten.

  2. I know Shawn Michael in Monday night raw said that he will never wrestle again for what happen at Wrestle mania 26 when he lost to the undertaker he say he will never wrestle again but i think he will do the same thing Jeff hardy and Ric flair did go to TNA impact and start wrestling in TNA but i really dont want him to go to TNA and i want him to return to the WWE

  3. Shawn i’ll miss you and all of your fans from India miss you. Everyone is filled wih your memories and collecting your videos. But we all are in the hope that you will return to WWE and give us the taste of The Showstopper, HBK.
    Please come back

  4. truthfully, i think shawn will come back from time to time. maybe even wrestle again. but if i know shawn, being a christian and all that he is… he wont go to TNA

  5. i love shawn so much….
    i want hbk come back one more time….
    he is the best forever…..

  6. HBK is the best….I m sure that he’ll come back to wwe and not to tna…wwe is like his family and he can’t live without his family and family members(wwe universe)
