QUESTION - Should Shawn Michaels defeat Taker, win MITB, and then win the WWE title?

Yes, the title of this post is ridiculous, but it's also something that *I* think is worth considering if the WWE really intend to have Shawn Michaels defeat the Underaker at Wrestlemania. The whole premise of HBK ending Taker's streak at Wrestlemania, is to pay respect to a man that has delivered more 5 star quality Wrestlemania matches than any other man in wrestling history. The WWE's purpose of having HBK end Taker's streak, would be to make HBK look like an even bigger legend than he is now. However - it's tradition to have the World/WWE title be the LAST match on the card.......and historically speaking, the guy that wins the LAST match on the card at Wrestlemania is generally regarded as the #1 guy in the company at the current time (kayfabe wise).

If Undertaker's streak is destined to be broken, then it can't be just "some match" on the card. It NEEDS to be done right, and the guy going over NEEDS to be made into a guy that looks like he's *definitively* the greatest of all-time. That is one reason why I like the idea of...

Having HBK defeat Taker (4th last match on the card)
Having a half-dead HBK attack the 6th participant of MITB before he comes out, which then allows HBK to take part in MITB on that night (and win) - 3rd last match on the card
After Cena defeats Batista in a hard fought match (last match on the card), have HBK cash in his MITB and beat Cena cleanly. Maybe Bret can even be at ringside (i.e. if Bret is in Cena's corner and Vince is in Batista's corner). After the match, have Bret shake HBK's hand and possibly give the guy a hug.

Unrealistic? Yes. Ridiculous? Probably. A story for the ages? - definitely. I think it's worth considering.
