WWE has posted some great post match footage of HBK, talking to his wife and kids after his match, and getting a standing ovation from his peers. I got a little emotional watching it. Shawn says he'll "always be a part of this place." WWE.com doesn't let you embed video. The link is below.

For those wondering, the angle is legitimate and Michaels days as an active performer are likely over. The word backstage at WrestleMania is that last night was Michaels’ final match (at least for a long time) and everybody was congratulating him on a great career and saying their goodbyes to him. The WWE Public Relations representative in the media section at WrestleMania was also telling reporters that the retirement is legitimate.

There has been talk of holding a retirement ceremony for Michaels on tonight’s RAW or in the near future. While the door is always open down the road for Michaels to wrestle “one more match,” he really is leaving WWE.
