Vince McMahon, Give the People What They Want: The Rock vs. HBK at Wrestlemania

Yesterday, I wrote an article about the possibility of The Rock coming back to World Wrestling Entertainment for one more match at Wrestlemania, against John Cena.

My focus was mostly how much of a bad idea this match was. I offered a counter match of Triple H versus The Rock since those two have some much history with each other.

However, in the comments section the people were overwhelming in favor of The Rock coming back to take on the Icon, Shawn Michaels.

Given that I've been the biggest Shawn Michaels fan since the AWA, I can't disagree with them.  In fact, I'm a bit jealous that I didn't think of it first.  You go, Dub Sizzle!

Despite my love for HBK, I am a journalist (sort of), so I'll weigh the pros and the cons.

Pros:  You have maybe the greatest in ring performer in the history of pro wrestling in Shawn Michaels, and the most electrifying man The Rock, who can send an arena into a frenzy just by raising an eye brow.

These two would absolutely bring the house down.  It might not have the technical finesse that HBK vs. Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, or Bret Hart had, but just about every move (especially signature moves) would have the arena popping so loud that ears might begin to bleed.

It could honestly be the be-all-end-all match in Wrestlemania history.  People might actually forget Wrestlemania III ever took place when they talk about matches that changed the business.

We all know of The Rock's amazing microphone skills, but Shawn isn't half bad either. The promos leading up to Wrestlemania would probably be the most entertaining thing about Raw.

Also the two have unfinished business to attend to. Do you remember the first episode of Smack Down?

I do. The main event was Triple H vs. The Rock with the special guest referee Shawn Michaels (sadly in those horrible tight booty shorts).

It appeared that HBK was going to call the match right down the middle, that is until the end.

The Rock was in the middle of the People's Elbow, when slightly off camera Michaels comes into view with some Sweet Chin Music. Costing The Rock not only the match, but, if memory serves me correctly, the title as well.

So, if The Rock were to comeback, he could go on about how he's beaten everyone, except the one man who ruined the premier of what at the time was The Rock's show.

Oh, I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about it.

Now for the cons, come to think of it there aren't any, and if you can think of some well then sir you are obviously Canadian. I'm looking at you Bret Hart.

Will HBK vs. The Rock happen?  Hell no it won't, it's too awesome, and the fans want it too much.  If there is the one thing the WWE doesn't do, it's listen to the fans.

So we'll all just have to dream about it, in fact I may put Modern Warfare 2 down and dust off WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 and create this storyline myself.

Until next time, loyal reader.
