What about the current main event roster. Shawn has had programs with all of them. Orton, Edge, Cena, Batista.... They have all shown in matches with “The Show Stopper” why they are allowed to carry the WWE torch. Could John Cena ever have been considered a “real” champion with out his Wrestlemania 23 match with HBK? Would the Randy “The Legend Killer” Orton have ever started “The Age Of Orton” with out his win over “The Icon” at Judgement Day 2007? Would Batista be able to keep the moniker “The Animal” with out the Stretcher Match at One Night Stand 2008? Who else could’ve given Ric Flair the match he deserved for retirement the “Mr.Wrestlemania” himself.

 

Looking at the both our beloved WWE mainstays, The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels they have faced the same stars. And arguably have turned some of those same stars into Superstars. The Undertakers ladder match with Jeff Hardy showed that the younger Hardy can go for the WWE title. We all also remember the Shawn Michaels vs. Shelton Benjamin on Raw that showed that Benjamin has the tools to put on a match of the year and to go with any main eventer to date.

 

There are some new up and comers Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase Jr., R-Truth, MVP, Manu, and Evan Bourne. Will our beloved Icons give them the push they have given so many others. Or when the end of both of these illustrious careers comes to an end will there be an up and comer or an established superstar what will want to get in the ring with these men for their final program because they know that they will only help them cement their careers, and give the deserving Taker or HBK the final match they deserve? Or will no one want to because the question will be asked “What have they done for this company?”
