He will play a part in wresltemania, but he will not be wrestling. they feel that the main event needs nothing more to lure fans in, so they will have HBK be part of it (if that) and his wrestling should kick in right after.

He just signed a new WWF contract. He will wrestle, but not nearly as frequently as we would want. He will probably do like every other PPV or so.

It must be sweet to have a job that pays 15k a week to sit on your thumbs for coming up on three years now. It's ironic that he used to call himself "the icon that can still go" as a slam against Hogan, Savage, Piper, Flair, and other older wrestlers in WCW, meanwhile those guys performed into their late 40's and early 50's, yet HBK is retired in his early 30's.

Shawn gave his all in every match he ever wrestled. I can't say the same for most in your list (save maybe for Piper).

Remember that Michaels is One of the reasons the WWF is the big company it is today. in the early to mid 90s he helped build it into the superpower it is so Vince owes Shawn and he knows it !
I agree that Flair has more than paid his dues and deserves to have an easy ride now. It's still important to have him around

I believe Shawn is going to have a full-time TV role - much like Austin's current role of promos, run-ins and stunners. I'd expect HBK to do more than the occasional PPV. If you think about it, guys like HHH, Austin, and the UT don't work that much anyway.

ok HBK stands for? I love my wrestling, but I only got into it in september and...well...I can't for the life of me figure out who HBK is. I feel dumb asking, but I can't figure it out.

Does Vince owe Shawn anything? Perhaps, although looking at Vince's record of screwing people over I doubt he cares.
