Nothing says closure in the wrestling world like superkicking Alberto Del Rio.
It's a ancient tradition that dates back to Del Rio's daddy trying to abort him.

Oh yeah, I went there.

The superkick to Del Rio was on the night he was announced as the first entrant to the HOF. He was announced, his music hit, fans went nuts, then before he could say anything, Del Rio interrupted and cut a promo about how he would outshine everything HBK did in his career, starting with winning the Rumble. Then HBK superkicked him. In total he has only appeared twice on WWE TV since retiring, the other was the farewell speech.

HBK has said he will never wrestle again, but he said those exact same words in 2002 on WWE Confidential (does anyone remember that old show?). I have the episode taped since I was a huge HBK mark back in the day and tapped anything he was on. He said on that episode that HBK was dead, and I believe he even referred to himself by his real name. Not long after that, he returned as a member of the nWo, but didn't say a word. The next week he cut his first promo, and said he wasn't back to wrestle. He implied he was just there to be a manager/leader to the nWo. Then like a month later was SummerSlam 2002 where he wrestled his first match back. It was supposed to be a one time thing, and we see how well that turned out.

But besides that, when the hell does being retired from the ring mean that they are 100% gone from the WWE. JBL was retired from the ring and was a Smackdown commentator for quite some time. Being "retired" just means no more in-ring wrestling or "active performing." Anything else is perfectly fine. HBK could be the GM, an announcer, a commentator, a special referee, or just walk out and superkick someone from time to time and still be considered retired.

Let's not forget, Stone Cold has been retired as a wrestler since, what? 2002? But has made various appearances over the years, often stunning someone, and was co-GM with Eric Bischoff for awhile. The Rock is a retired wrestler, but is set to Host Mania. And during HBK's first retirement, he made several appearances, and had a run as the WWE Commissioner.

Hell, even Ric Flair made at least one appearance AFTER his retirement match with HBK and his farewell the following night. He came back and got into an altercation with Y2J. They beat each other up, Y2J got the better of him, took the watch that he was given the night of his big sendoff, and smashed it (storyline). He challenged Flair to a match, but Flair refused, stating in his promo that it would "be disrespectful" to the match he had with Shawn Michaels, and that he would stay true to his word and stay retired. So he was in the corner of Y2J's opponent instead, I believe.

Can we trust HBK's word that he will stay retired? (Which means not WRESTLING, and does NOT mean that he won't make appearances in a non-wrestling capacity) I don't know, and honestly despite being a huge HBK fan, I don't really care. Yes he came back once, but he was younger then. It was almost 10 years ago. Age makes a lot of difference in something like this.

Just give it a rest and let the man do what he feels is right. Of course he has lied in the past. Haven't all of you? It doesn't mean he is incapable of ever being honest. And it sure as hell doesn't mean that he won't stay to his word now.

shawn will wrestle again. he cant help it. IT will start off as a one time thing and then he will be on raw week after week. Its not a bad thing but i think we need an HBK heel - this good boy who loves jesus shit has run its course.

I doubt he'll ever be a heel like he was anymore. If the Attitude Era was still going today, then maybe he might be a heel, who opposes it all.

You don't need the Attitude Era. Technically, HBK could do a CM Punk SES thing, trying to "save" everyone and convert them to wholesome christian beliefs. Meanwhile, people who oppose him call him a hypocrite citing all of his "past sins" like screwing bret, ruling the locker room with the clique, and everything else that people give him shit for on this forum.

It could be pretty interesting, actually. But I agree that the religious thing has run its course. I miss the 95-96 Face HBK and the 97/98 (or, hell, even the early 90s) heel HBK. The version that prays before every match and wears crosses everywhere just doesn't do anything for me.

Ric Flair will keep wrestling even when he starts shitting himself and falling asleep in the ring. I hope Shawn stays out, because I like him and don't want him to make an ass of himself.

And honey, what exactly the f*ck are you going to do to him if you "find" him, make him humble shieky baby style, dude please(nevermind, you know damn well he's after all, only one of the most frequent posters here) He was intinially right, this was beyond unecessary and trying to disguise this any other way is downright embarrassing (nevermind whether or not he or anyone else is a HBK stan, hell he never said he was). I mean who's worse HBK or the guys who still hang on Montreal. Bret doesn't at this point, but of course, at this point, the issue is dated itself, especially, when he himself chose to comeback.

"Of course he has lied in the past. Haven't all of you? It doesn't mean he is incapable of ever being honest."

That's funny given that people seem to believe it as if he was the ONLY one ever caught lying

To the person and others who say stuff like his religous sh*t has run it's course, well I hope it's just a stchick, cuz if he's geniune (which I kinda believe) that's the type of statements that gives the religious sect its rightful credence against folks who would rather see someone act a fool then to be just a normal decent being just cuz you'd like to see some entertainment.(nevermind you would turn right around and jump on him for doing so just like when he did so in 05, smh at folks who don't know what exactly they want from this guy, even after all these years)

FLair needed to comeback because he is an idiot and can't keep himslef from spending money and will probably be one of those guys that after making millions and millions of dollars will die alone in a state run nursing home.

With Micheals i am going to go out on an limb and say he is serious but that deosn't mean he can't do run ins or do some segment where he hunts some heel down in the middle of nowhere to some how manage to advertise his show
