There's been a ton of speculation that since Wrestlemania is in San Antonio this year the Showstopper Shawn Michaels could very well be retiring. Shawn Michaels is 43 years old, but in today's day and age you have to ask yourself it that's really all that old for a pro-wrestler. At this level of expectation Triple H will be done in three or four years. And the prospect of a DX free WWE by 2012 does not ammuse me, because face it... 2012 is not that far away.
Granted Shawn has been plagued by far more injuries than "The Game" but the thought of his retirement (though eventually immenent) is enough to make me hang up my own (metophorical) pair of wrasslin' boots. I shudder to think of a John Cena, John Morrison, Batista dominated WWE.
Anyhow, Jim Ross posted on his blog, and I think we can lay the rumors to rest for now. Jim Ross is a God by the way. Here's what he said about...
The possibility of Shawn Michaels retiring soon:
"HBK earns big money, works a schedule that he is ok with and is still the best big match wrestler in the biz. Shawn is at a place as to where if he is unhappy he won't be around. The WWE needs HBK much more than Shawn needs them."
And thank God someone admitted that! :)
