Michaels also put over Nash at Mania XI
I dont think HBK-HHH would work for Mania just because its too far away. We've already seen one great match on RAW last night, and then we'll likely see a rematch at RR, IMO having another match at Mania is too much for a fued that people have seen a hundred times (seemingly). If there was a story going in, like say HBK had never beat HHH, then you might have something, but we've seen everything from these guys, so I dont see how that would be a special match for Mania.
The other problem I have with the scenario is HBK retiring as champ. I am dead against ANYONE retiring as champ. To me thats like the worst idea a booker can come up with, because the guy who retires looks like he's dominant over everyone else, its almost like Austin stunning everyone every week on RAW with no chance of a reciept.
I dont know who HHH should face, I mean they really have killed all the challengers on RAW. I mean you got Jericho turning face, but I dont know if that will happen quick enough to do the turn and then to build him up for a match with HHH in 3 months.
Then you have RVD, who is a fam favourite and would get over huge challenging for the title in NYC, but like everyone else he's been burried and would need a huge push over the next 6-8 weeks, which I dont see happening.
I know I've read a couple of stories about Edge coming over to RAW post Mania to fued with HHH, which makes sense to me, but thats after Mania.
I agree with the thought process on Goldberg. I think Goldberg should enter the RR as per order of the Board of Directors. We would assume he's a RAW guy, but after winning the match he would show up on RAW and tell Bischoff he's signed with SD, give him a Spear and leave the show. Like Heyman said that would give SD a much needed superstar, and set up Goldberg-Lesnar which is still the rumoured match.
