YEARS LATER, HBK NEEDS ANSWERS

 

Shawn Michaels is “the showstopper.” His cocky and flamboyant style has made him one of the most recognized Superstars in WWE history. He has even referred to himself as an “icon” of sports-entertainment. And who could argue? He’s held nearly every major championship there is to hold. And at one point, he figuratively carried the company on his aching back.

 

But in this business, every Superstar is measured against the legendary specter of one man – the immortal Hulk Hogan. Could HBK measure up to Hogan? That’s the question that has been haunting Michaels since Hogan left WWE in the mid 1990s. It was a question Michaels never got a chance to answer, until now.

 

When Michaels stunned the world by nailing the Hulkster with Sweet Chin Music on RAW a few weeks back, it appeared on the surface to have been a split-second decision. The reality is Michaels resentment for Hogan had been brewing for decades.

 

When Shawn first arrived in WWE back in the late 1980s, Hulk Hogan was on top of the sports-entertainment mountain. The movement known as Hulkamania had become a pop-culture phenomenon, making Hogan one of the most recognizable names in the world. As a result of his enormous success, the Hulkster enjoyed all the perks often associated with being the top dog. Not only did Hogan fly first-class, get driven around in stretch limousines and stay in posh hotel rooms, but he was also the first Superstar to be given his own dressing room in every arena across the country.

 

Just a youngster at the time trying to make it big, Michaels watched Hogan as he gained all the accolades. With eyes wide open, Shawn was committed to become everything Hogan was, and more. Michaels knew he had the ability to be the best in the world, he just needed the platform to showcase his talents. Unfortunately, however, there was no room for Michaels on the top of the card. The 302-pound WWE Champion never saw Michaels, a mere 225 pounds, as a suitable opponent. As a result, Michaels was relegated to mid-card status while Hogan continued to tour the country in first-class style.

 

Despite being told he was not the same caliber of Hogan, Michaels continued to persevere. Eventually, Shawn used his athletic talents to literally force his way into the Intercontinental Championship picture. During this time, Michaels competed in some of the most exciting matches ever to be seen on WWE television. According to Michaels, this was the beginning of his rise to the top. According to Hogan, however, Michaels was still not big enough to main event a card with him.

 

Never one to take no for an answer, HBK continued to amaze audiences. Eventually, WWE officials were forced to take notice and give Michaels the chance he always wanted. Coincidentally, HBK’s shot at greatness came just after Hulk Hogan left WWE for WCW.

 

With Hogan out of the picture, Michaels did what he always set out to do – represent WWE as its top star. As WWE Champion, Michaels was finally afforded all the perks Hogan once had – he had the seat in first-class, the limo driver, the fancy hotel room, his own locker room… He even began to help those close to him make a name for themselves, just as Hogan did years earlier.

 

Shawn Michaels had it all. Or did he?

 

On the surface, HBK appeared to be happier than ever. He was finally the top star. He finally jumped all the hurdles to become the biggest name in the industry. But despite all his success, Michaels still had one demon lingering in the back of his mind. Even with the WWE Championship strapped securely around his waist, HBK often wondered if he would have been able to reach the same level of success if Hogan was still a member of WWE. Ultimately, Shawn Michaels questioned whether he could beat the legend of Hulk Hogan.

 

On July 4, 2005, HBK took the first step in answering the question he needs answered. When Michaels delivered Sweet Chin Music to Hulk Hogan, he was extending a challenge he knew the Hulkster could not refuse, a challenge 20 years in the making. While many have questioned the route Michaels has taken to make this dream match a reality, one thing is for certain, Shawn Michaels will have all his questions answered.

 

Can Shawn Michaels beat Hulk Hogan? HBK will finally find out at SummerSlam.

Kevin Nash looking forward to 'Shakespeare' at SummerSlam

 

Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan are two of the most famous names in WWE history. Up until now, their paths have never really crossed. Hulkamania was born in 1984 and was running wild in WWE through the early 1990s. Once Hogan left for WCW, HBK began his rise to dominance in the singles ranks, accumulating one of the most impressive resumes in WWE history.

 

Former WWE Champion Kevin Nash (aka Diesel) has been linked to both The Icon and The Legend throughout his career. As a result, there’s probably no other wrestler alive today that can compare the two Superstars better than Nash. WWE.com was able to catch up with Nash recently to talk about the upcoming battle.

 

WWE.com: You have been closely linked to both Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan during your career. How would you compare the two experiences?

 

Kevin Nash: Working with both were real highlights of my career. Coming in with Shawn was basically the origin of my WWE career. And Hulk was actually there when I came in for a short time, and then of course the nWo was a huge highlight of my career. Hulk played a big part of that. Both of those guys were very instrumental in the success of my career. It was kind of like your first kiss with Shawn. And then Hulk was later on in my career after I had success, so it was a completely different experience entirely. Shawn and I traveled every day for three years night in and night out, 365 days a year. I learned the business from Shawn and Scott (Hall). I took what I learned from them and was able to help create what we did in Atlanta (WCW).

 

WWE.com: Did Shawn ever talk to you about Hogan holding him back in the late 1980s – early 1990s?

 

Nash: No, not really. When we got in there it was pretty much a big man territory. I think that’s one of the reasons Shawn brought me in. He brought in the biggest heel he could to get heat on, so at least they’d (the bigger wrestlers) work with me.

 

WWE.com: This week on RAW, Shawn said that the old HBK was back. Do you believe that Shawn is capable of truly bringing the old HBK back?

 

Nash: To me, he’s always been able to shift gears. He’s always been able to buzzsaw somebody. I just don’t think he’s going to compromise his beliefs that he presently has for the betterment of a SummerSlam match. I think this match is much like The Rock vs. Hogan at WrestleMania (X8). You won’t hate either of them more than the other. I know that I’ll watch it because it’s a match I haven’t seen. They’re saying it’s the Icon vs. the Legend, and that’s what it is. It’s something we haven’t seen before. The psychology of who’s heel and who’s babyface doesn’t’ really matter. It’s just two great performers – one has had 25, 30 years and one has had 21, 22 great years, and it’s a match that’s never happened. It’s the old Pro Wrestling Illustrated Dream Match – the computer match – but we actually get to see it.

 

WWE.com: You touched on it already, but can you elaborate on whether or not you think Shawn’s beliefs would hinder the old HBK from coming back?

 

Nash: I just don’t think, in talking to him the last couple of weeks, that he feels he needs that. I think that the really successful people in our business have been able to pull something out that’s a real personality trait. And that’s not a real personality trait he has anymore. He won’t be raunchy, but I’m sure he can create violence. I watch the shows occasionally, still, and there’s not a whole lot of guys that create violence. And plus Shawn’s great anyways. Shawn’s not going to not have a great performance.

 

WWE.com: What do you think we can expect from this match?

 

Nash: I just pray the young guys sit around the monitors and keep their mouths shut and watch how it’s done. If they want to see how to work and not do high spots and Chinese Firedrill and just want to see how it’s done – sit down and watch Shakespeare.

 

WWE.com: Is there anything in particular that you are looking most forward to in this match?

 

Nash: I’m looking forward to the finish. With the two huge egos going into this, I want to see how things pan out. That to me will be incredibly interesting.

TAMA KA DUN CACTUS JACK, WHEN WWE RATINGS WERE FALTERING DURING THE MONDAY NIGHT WARS WITH WCW, IT WAS SHAWN MICHEALS THAT CARRIED THE COMPANY ON HIS ACHING BACK, THOUGH BERT HART, IN MY OPINION WAS THE BETTER WRESTLER. MICHEALS HAD MORE CHARISMA, THE BETTER ENTERTAINER, IKA NGA. YOU WOULD REALLY LOVE HIM AS A FACE AND HATE HIM AS A HEEL. KAYANG KAYA NI MICHEALS GAWIN IYON. WHEN BRET TURNED HEEL BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE WCW, PARANG DI NIYA MAGAWA ANG GINAGAWA NI MICHEALS AS A HEEL, HE'S NOT THAT ARROGANT AND OPINIONATED. THATS THE REASON WHY HART LEFT FOR THE WCW, HE REALLY DIDNT FIT IN THE WWE'S CHANGE OF PROGRAM UNLIKE MICHEALS WHO COULD, TOGETHER WITH THE ROCK, HHH AND OF COURSE AUSTIN.

GIVE THE GUY CREDIT, HE LED THE WAY FOR OTHERS IN TERMS OF SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT EVEN WHEN BEFORE HIS COMPANY STARTED NOT TO DO GOOD, WITH HIS LADDER MATCHES, AND STEEL CAGE MATCHES. THOUGHT, IN MY OPINION, I STILL DONT CONSIDER HIM AN ICON. FLAIR IS VERY MUCH ONE. HHH COULD BE THE NEXT, HBK...I DONT KNOW. MASYADONG MATAGAL DIN SYA NAWALA SA EKSENA. DAMI NG PUMALIT SA KANYA SINCE THEN. GUESS THATS THE DIFFERENCE NAMAN NILA NI HOGAN...KAHIT NA ANONG GENERATION, THE FANS COULD EASILY RELATED TO HOGAN. KAYA GANUN NA LANG ANG GALIT(?) NIYA SA KANYA...at least thats what the wwe wants us to think, hehehe...

Tamago's Wrestling Chismaks! :cool:

 

Dominick, Rey Mysterio’s son, is suffering some emotional distress regarding the angle between his dad and Eddie Guerrero.

 

Frankie Kazarian has decided to leave the WWE. He was upset over the fact that the creative team doesn’t have anything for him and that they’re still treating him like a rookie. When he first submitted a request for his release, they immediately put him in Velocity where he battled several other cruiserweights. But Kazarian was still dissatisfied with his role. He was also pissed over the rule to tone down the high-flying moves and WWE’s request to cut his hair and change his look.

It is possible that he’ll return to TNA.

 

HHH, Mick Foley, Chris Jericho, and Paul Heyman have been sending their resumes and pics to Hollywood so that they can get some extra work.

 

At a recent Ring Of Honour event, Matt Hardy faced Homicide. After the match, Hardy was booed out of the building and other fans were screaming “f**k you, Hardy!” Apparently, they’re pissed over the fact that he decided to return to the WWE.

 

Shawn Michaels will release his autobiography this November.

 

Raw Diva Search 2005 winner Ashley was Playboy’s Cybergirl of the Month January 2004. She was using the name “Ryan MacKenzie.”

She is also a former Hawaiian Tropic model.

 

Locker room morale has dropped once again due to the low crowd attendance.

 

Matt Bentley, Kazarian’s former tag team partner, has left TNA.

 

Shannon Moore and Kenzo Suzuki were spotted backstage at TNA Impact. While Moore will certainly sign up with the company when his no-compete clause expires, TNA has no real interest in Suzuki.

 

WWE is seriously thinking about pitting Hulk Hogan against Stone Cold Steve Austin in Wrestlemania 22.

 

In his radio show, Howard Stern told Hogan that he thought he was a bad father like Ozzy Osbourne for the fact that he lets his son date while he confines his older daughter in his prison-like home.

 

According to people close to both Hogan & Michaels, the 2 don’t like each other and there is real tension between them.

 

Rumors still persist that Jericho will leave the WWE, and that his last match will be at Summerslam.

 

Hardy’s return has been the subject of talk backstage lately. According to 1 wrestler, “That’s typical Vince McMahon. He’ll tell you ‘My mistake,’ and talk you into coming back. Then as soon as you sign, it’s like ‘f**k you. I own you for 2 years’ and he makes your life miserable.”

 

It seems that the bWo’s stint in the WWE is finished.

 

Bill Demont has received some heat regarding the way he’s been running Deep South Wrestling. Morale has been low in the locker room because of Demont’s drill sergeant-like attitude towards the developmental talent.

 

TNA is interested in signing up former ROH Champion Austin Aries.

 

Rumor has it that Christian is no longer happy regarding his status in the WWE.

 

Raw Diva Search 2005 contestant Cameron Haven has appeared nude in a number of Playboy shoots, including the 2005 College Girls issue.

 

Raw Diva Search 2004 runner-up Carmella DeCesare has undergone breast enhancement surgery.
