Chris Jericho and Bam Neely mentions Shawn; Kevin Eck blogs HBK's Smackdown Promo; WWE Raw House Show Results 03/28-29/09: Laredo and Hidalgo, TX

Chris Jericho mentions Shawn in his recent Bubba The Love Sponge
interview.

Bubba brought up Undertaker at WrestleMania and Jericho said the match with Shawn Michaels is the moneymaker this year and that Shawn is Mr. WrestleMania due to the fact he usually has the best performance on the card. They discussed how even though Michaels isn't all that big in size that he can still tell a story better than anybody. Chris brought up his feud with Shawn saying it was supposed to be only a month but he and Shawn made the fans care and joked that without caring its only two guys wrestling oiled up in their underwear and that you can see any Tuesday night at Bubba's house. Bubba asked if locker room leaders like Taker, Hunter, Michaels, and Jericho ever talk to the newcomers about drugs and partying. Chris said the newer generation doesn't need it and that they catch a lot of crap for being video game junkies on the road, but its much healthier than being out partying. He said the current drug testing is brutal and that the younger generation of wrestlers don't seem to be going down the route that others have (drug, partying mistakes).

Bam Neely mentions Shawn in his recent Monday Night Mayhem interview.

As mentioned, Justin had the chance to compete against some of the best superstars biggest names in the WWE, and Bam was asked by Mosh & Blade if he felt any nervousness about wrestling against such established talent. He mentioned a story about when Shawn Michaels walking up to him & giving him some words of encouragement. "Shawn Michaels looked right at me (right in my face), and asked me 'You want this,' and I went 'Yeah.' So he looked at me & went, 'Hmm, prove it...Go out there, and make an impact right frickin' now.'" Justin went on to say that he was not scared of wrestling any of the big names, simply because he felt "he belonged there," and he still believes/feels he should be there today.

Next, the famous reporter of BaltimoreSun.Com Kevin Eck mentions Shawn in his latest blog.

I thought Shawn Michaels’ parody of The Undertaker’s entrance and promos stole the show on Friday night’s episode of Smackdown. It looked like a scene from Jesus Christ Superstar as Michaels and the hooded druids made their way to the ring all dressed in white amid smoke, bright lights and the image of beaming cross on the stage screen.

After imitating Undertaker’s methodical procession to the ring, Michaels bowed his head and slowly removed his Undertaker-style hat, but instead of looking up and rolling his eyes in the back of his head, he looked straight into the camera with a sheepish grin.

Then, in explaining the stark contrast between him and The Undertaker, Michaels quoted scripture with the same delivery as Undertaker’s signature dark promos. One of Michaels’ best lines was when he said that Undertaker “walks amongst the shadows, where I thrive in the spotlight.”

At the conclusion of his promo, Michaels bowed his head just as The Undertaker does after delivering his “Rest in Peace” line. The segment was good at that point, but it became great when the somber music abruptly stopped, Michaels’ familiar entrance music started playing and Michaels began prancing around the ring doing his “Sexy Boy” routine. That had me laughing out loud.

I thought fort sure that The Undertaker was one of the druids and was about to attack Michaels, but Undertaker popped up though the ring canvas instead. That made for a better visual, as Undertaker was figuratively rising from hell. Undertaker grabbed Michaels, but he was able to slip away. Michaels really seemed to be channeling his mid-to-late 1990s obnoxious “Heartbreak Kid” character, dancing and taunting The Undertaker as he retreated up the ramp and onto the stage.

This was a very entertaining segment, and WWE continues to do a good job of making Michaels seem like a real threat to end The Undertaker’s winning streak at WrestleMania.

And lastly, below are the results from the WWE Raw House Shows this weekend at Laredo and Hidalgo, Texas.

Just for my money, there might not be a match at WrestleMania more eagerly anticipated than the one-on-one between Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. Both men are sure-fire “first ballot” HOF’ers and as HBK pointed out Monday night, Undertaker has never defeated Michaels. Do you remember their epic Hell in a Cell Match? These two Superstars will likely never meet again in an environment such as WrestleMania. For me, simply as a fan, this is a “must-see” match, just as last year was when Ric Flair had his farewell match in Orlando at ‘Mania ironically thanks to HBK.

No one that I can recall has ever been a better “big match” wrestler than Shawn Michaels, but one could argue that Undertaker is “right there” being 16-0 at WrestleMania. 16-0 is freakish when one really thinks about it and breaks down all the stars that have lost at WrestleMania events but are, as they should be, still considered legends. “The Streak” will never be approached in my opinion, and if anyone can beat ‘Taker it’s Mr. WrestleMania.

WWE Raw House Show Results 02/13/09: Los Angeles, CA; WWE No Way Out Predictions and more

Thanks to MHO visitor Jude from USA for sending the ff. report.

WWE Raw House Show 02/13/09: Los Angeles, CA
Shawn Michaels and Rey Mysterio (w/o JBL) defeated Kane and Randy Orton (w/o Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase) after Rey hit both Kane and Orton with a double 619 and Michaels gave Kane Sweet Chin Music for the pin. Crowd was hot for this match and the best match of the night. Michaels got the biggest cheers of the night and Orton came in second. Jericho got the biggest boos of the night.

Also, Kevin Eck of Baltimore Sun's Ring Post mentions Shawn Michaels and made his predictions this Sunday's No Way Out ppv in his latest blog.

Shawn Michaels vs. JBL in an All or Nothing match: I figured a match with this kind of stipulation – Michaels either gets all the money owed to him and is released from his contract, or he continues working for JBL and loses the rights to his name and likeness – would take place at WrestleMania and be the climax to their feud, so I’m surprised to see it on this show. After months of buildup, it still seems like Michaels and JBL should face each other at WrestleMania, but maybe that is no longer the case. This is a wild guess: Michaels wins and John Cena somehow gets involved, leading to a three-way for the title at WrestleMania between Cena, Michaels and JBL.

And lastly, Droz's picks for No Way Out this Sunday's ppv.

Shawn Michaels vs. JBL (All or Nothing Match)
For quite sometime now, Shawn Michaels has been on JBL payroll helping him in certain situations while also hurting him as well. I can only imagine how Shawn has felt during this time having to deal with The Longhorn Loudmouth day in and day out doing his bidding. JBL is facing a legend in this business who he’s been able to control and that has to make him feeling pretty damn confident. I think HBK will not only win this match, I think he will release the burden JBL lays on him and that’s going to be a great feeling I’m sure.

To read more predictions from various wrestling websites regarding the Shawn Michaels vs. JBL One Way Out, All or Nothing match this Sunday's No Way Out ppv, click the read full story link below..

From 411 Mania predictions.

Shawn Michaels vs JBL - All or Nothing

Stephen Randle: I can't think of any logical person who thinks that JBL will win here. I mean, owning the Shawn Michaels name forever? I don't think so. I'm a little disappointed, because I think they rushed to the conclusion after spending so much time setting it up, but I guess I can take solace in the fact that the match probably won't be very good, which would have been magnified at Mania.

Winner: Shawn Michaels

Mike Chin: I thought they were going to hold this match off for Wrestlemania, and I am mostly happy they didn't. Happy because Michaels deserves better at Mania, but a bit reserved because I worry they won't have time now to properly build Michaels a fitting Wrestlemania program (my guess is an interpromotional match, likely with 'Taker).

But, I digress. There's a slight chance JBL could win, for a surprise and to prolong the feud, but I think WWE is prepared to cut its losses and move Michaels on to bigger things--and maybe set JBL up as a non-traditional Money in the Bank guy Wrestlemania. Regardless, Michaels, in all likelihood, takes the decisive victory.

Winner: Shawn Michaels

Julian Bond: Man...has this feud been personal or what! Shawn Michaels with his excellent partners (Flair, Batista, Jericho) in the ring has been providing compelling story after compelling story for the last year now and it's been a beautiful thing. This storyline with JBL has been no exception. While many predicted that this would have dragged on longer into Wrestlemania, I think that the conclusion hits here. The two should put on a great emotional match with Michaels taking the win and his pride back, and my little guess (and hope) is that he will then move on to rumble with someone who might be freed up...like the Undertaker for a bout at Wrestlemania.

Winner: Shawn Michaels

Joe Roche: Another match that has no mystery surrounding it. I for one could not be happier that this feud is finally over. I think it stunk when it started, it was horrendous in the middle and it's mercifully going to end before Wrestlemania. HBK seems to have sleepwalked through most of this angle, and it would have made a lot more sense for this premise to be done with a younger star to JBL's Million Dollar Man. That being said, HBK gets the convincing win here, gets his redemption and moves on to Wrestlemania against the Undertaker.

Winner: Shawn Michaels

Rob McNew: There are a number of ways they could go with this. JBL could win and draw the story on a little bit further. Shawn could win and this feud could just end. The decision could be inconclusive and we could draw this out even further to Wrestlemania. My thoughts are that Shawn wins, but the feud doesn't end. JBL loses and the financial portion of this feud ends, but JBL might just do something so vile to Rebecca that they are forced to settle the feud at Wrestlemania. Either way I think Shawn wins.

Winner: Shawn Michaels

Dan Torkel: This is exactly where it needs to be. Give JBL one more 3+ star match before eternally removing him from the top of the card and send Shawn home to Texas fo a date with Taker.

Winner - Shawn Michaels (Sweet Chin Music)

Andy Clark: Because I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's nowhere left to fall when you reach the bottom
It's now or never...

Anytime I get to quote O-Town (a great friggin' band, I don't care what anyone says) it's a good day. It's also awesome that this program, as solid as its been, can be concluded at No Way Out allowing us the opportunity to see HBK-Taker, the match everyone including the combatants wanted, at WrestleMania. If HBK loses, we riot.

Winner: Shawn Michaels

Michael Weyer: Having JBL win would be nice for the storyline but I just don't see it. It's built too much for Michaels to finally come back and get his comeuppance and free him up for someone else at Mania. It'll be another great bout between them but HBK will get it out in the end.

WINNER: HBK

Michael Bauer: We all know how these work. Face is in a do or die either in his hometown or affecting the next time he goes there. WrestleMania is in Houston... close enough. This story has gone on long enough as it is and I can not see another match between these two at WrestleMania.

Winner: Shawn Michaels

Jeremy Thomas: This is another match that's not too hard to call. I'd thought that Michaels and JBL would last through WrestleMania, and that may still be the case if JBL goes for revenge following his loss here...either way the 'E won't keep up the "HBK as employee" thing here. Rebecca will likely be at ringside for this and will provide the proper pathos when JBL's in control, and that will give Shawn the inspiration to come back strong and pick up the win to gain his freedom, and give JBL the superkick that we've been waiting to see.

Winner: Shawn Michaels (Pin following Sweet Chin Music)

Predictions from the Faculty Lounge.

Winner Takes All Match – Shawn Michaels vs. JBL

Sean H - HBK, freeing him of JBL, hopefully to move on to a feud with Taker. God I hope so.
Matt O. – HBK over JBL
“Dean” Joe B. – HBK wins
David S. – HBK wins
Jose M. - I think Shawn is going to pull it out over JBL somehow the only way I would consider putting JBL over is if they are going to put this into a program with Shawn and Taker somehow and that would require breaking the mania streak for Taker and I don’t see that happening.
Josh B. - HBK over JBL
Time for the end of the feud and hopefully we get a crazy beatdown in this one.
Anthony V. – HBK, he is free from JBL’s detention

WWE Raw House Show Reports and Photos 11/13/08: Belfast, Northern Ireland and 11/14/08: Glasgow, Scotland

11/13/08: Belfast, Northern Ireland - Shawn Michaels beat JBL. JBL came out, and much like was noted at the other live events, cut a really funny promo on Belfast, and why we are all just a bunch of useless monkeys, that have never done anything right, and how his country have saved us every time we needed help. JBL got massive heat here, but it was nothing compared to what he did next. A guy in the crowd had an American flag and he asked Chimel to go and get it. JBL got down on his knees and sang God Bless America to the flag and the crowd went nuts. JBL is an absolute master at getting people to hate him. Shame he's not so good in the ring. Then he said Shawn Michaels would be his opponent. I didn't believe him at first as I hadn't read any of the other reports that said Shawn wrestled. Michaels got a huge pop when he came out, and it was fantastic to see him when we didn't expect it. He got cheered for a long time before the match got started, and it continued for the bulk of the match. It's safe to say he got the loudest reaction of the night. There was good action, and it was great to see Shawn at a house show again. Overall it was the best house show they have done here in ages. Seeing Shawn Michaels unexpectedly, and some of the promos that the heels did really got the crowd going. However being there for the bit after the main event means I will never forget this night, as it was very emotional. (PHOTO HERE)

WWE Raw House Show Report and Photos 11/12/08: Newcastle, United Kingdom

Shawn Michaels defeated John Bradshaw Layfield. JBL (slowly) made his way to the ring and took a hold of the microphone to a huge chorus of boos. He surveyed the crowd and took in the boos, before launching a tirade that included a couple of great lines about how worshipping the Queen made the English people weak, how everyone in the arena had come to see him and how it would take him just fifteen minutes to beat up every English person in the arena. He announced that his opponent would be Michaels to the biggest pop of the evening, before rounding off his promo with a rendition of Irving Berlin's "God Bless America." Just great stuff from JBL. After a long period of silence, Michaels's music hit to a huge roar as the Heartbreak Kid made his way to the ring. A really good match that went back-and-forth with Michaels getting the win after ducking an attempted Clothesline from Hell and nailing the Sweet Chin Music. On a personal note, seeing Shawn Michaels live in the ring was both an incredible honor and a completely unexpected moment that I will never forget. Notes: Overall, an amazing night. Some really good matches combined with a great atmosphere and the honor of seeing the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels in action! (PHOTOS HERE)

WWE Raw House Show Report and Photo 11/11/08: Birmingham, England

Shawn Michaels defeated JBL. This was billed as a “Special Challenge Match”. JBL cuts a promo before the match, running down the English fans, and running down the real football, saying the American version is better, as “you may call it football, but I call it gay”. Michaels comes out to a big pop. Much of the match was JBL working over Shawn’s ribs and midsection, before Michaels makes a comeback, going through his finishing sequence, finally hitting the Sweet Chin Music for the pinfall. A good show live, and the crowd went home happy. Crowd was hot all night, especially into Michaels, Punk, Mysterio and Batista. (PHOTO HERE)
