HBK is a shell of the performer he used to be. And since his persona hasn't changed at all, he feels a little outdated. Even the entrance music is tired.
Not that he sucks. He's still a great performer, but like RockBottom said, he's at the point in his career where he should be elevating other wrestlers to the main event. He needs to lose in order to give credibility to the guys who are going to take his place when he leaves (again).
Put it tihs way..HBK is so well established, that if he wins tonight it really does nothing for his career. Been there done that. But if Benoit wins.....wow. Huge moment and I think the crowd will appreciate that.
BTW...I never understand why people bring up HBK's Christian beliefs whenever someone critiizes Michaels. I've never read, "Well, Goldberg can't sell to save his life, but at least he stays kosher."
