I chose the third option because I don't like either of them more than the other. HHH has caused way too much shit backstage with all of his politics, and many title reigns that just dragged on. Its kind of hard to blame him though, since he is banging the boss' daughter. If I had the kind of sway that he does backstage, I would probably use it to my advantage as well.
Shawn Michaels is still a great worker and can carry so many others to great matches. I just don't like his 'sexy boy' type gimmick anymore because the guy is getting pretty old. At least he didn't offer to become the new Mordecai with his religious affiliations
