Here is another installment of "my thoughts".  And today I am talking about Shawn Michaels.  Not only am I giving my thoughts on Shawn Michaels, but also on his #1 contender opportunity.

Now I respect Shawn Michaels and everything he did for the company.  I like the work he does in and out of the ring, but he has done the ring business for so long.  He is facing Chris Jericho for the World Heavyweight Championship in a match that HBK says he revolutionized, and that match is a ladder match.  Now I just want to say this, I don't think that HBK revolutionized the ladder match.  I mean he did as he was one of the first ones to use it as a weapon and do some crazy moves off of it.  He did push the handle bar for others but really if you look at that match now, that seems like a simple match.  I say that Edge or Jeff Hardy has revolutionized the ladder match in ways that no one can beat.

Anyway, I am saying that this is HBK's death match.  Not to offend anyone or make them mad, but it's true.  Where HBK is in his career, he shouldn't be in this kind of match.  He has been through so many injuries and been through so much, really I don't think he could or really should be in this match. Most of you will say that he has been in this kind of matches before, but if you look, from there to now he has gotten so many injuries, he has retired from the ring, and had many surgeries.

I hope Shawn will win this match, but I don't see that happening.  Even though Shawn hasn't won recently, he deserves it.  Some people are saying that he didn't win against Y2J in that unsanctioned match, but if I recall, at the end of the match the announcer said that Y2J could no longer compete and as a result Shawn Michaels is the winner.  If they say that, then he won the match, which is the bottom line.  Like I said, Even though Michaels isn't winning much, he is LONG OVERDUE for a title shot.  He hasn't held any major championship for years.  In those years, he has won and loosed, but he preformed like a hall of famer and now he is just getting a title shot.

I say that he would get AT LEAST one more title by the time he retires like the intercontinental and tag team titles, but it seems like he is further and further away from being a major champion.  With his light schedule, his series of injuries and what he has been through in his career it looks like it is coming to an end.  I really can't predict on when he will retire, and I don't think that anyone should predict on that kind of big announcement.  Shawn Michaels has been one of the best Stars, ladder match participants, and champion in wrestling history.  He is adding to his career every single month and year.  He is no doubt a Hall of Famer and I will never forget him for everything he does for this business.  That is all for "my thoughts" for now but please check back to my others and wait to see my others coming soon.  If you have any suggestions for a future "My thoughts" blog, then feel free to message me.  Anyway that is my thoughts on this topic, but what are yours?  Talk to you next time!
