For "HBK" Shawn Michaels fans.

I loved the Degeneration X days... that was the heyday, IMO

Yes... Those were definitely the days for me too!!!

HBK, Triple H, Bad ass Billy gun and road dog Jesse James, X-Pac, and you can't forget Chyna. I don't know why I wanted the thing Chyna so bad when I was younger.

I miss those days too, but I also liked Shawn well before DX. Turning on Marty Janetty was the best thing he ever did for his career.

Ladder matches against Scott Hall were classic also.

Never understood why Vince McMahon likes to break up popular groups/tag teams. When he does that, he loses fans like me. After D Generation X broke up, I rooted for the Hardy Boyz. Then when the Hardy Boyz broke up, I stopped watching. Not to mention other tag teams he's ended. The Dudley Boys, Christian and Edge, Too Cool , The Acolytes, The Hardcore Hollys.

Shawn was loyal and Vince should reward him for it. I somehow doubt that HBK is retired for good. Depends on how much money he has in the bank but I say he will return again someday.

I hear Flair is trying to get him to come to TNA, but I'd have much more respect for Shawn if he stays loyal to Vince. Only organization he's ever been with (mainstream anyways, not counting AWA and Texas).

All wrestling organizations do this. This keeps things from becoming stale. But I agree with you, good things don't need to be messed with until they are going downhill.

Yeah I mean D Generation X and The Hardy Boyz, they were popular as hell. From a business stand point, makes no sense to break them up. And if they joined together..holy sh*t!

    • If the losses were him not stepping up in key situations then it'd be a disappointment. 
    • I'm well versed in the minutiea of the Canes radio broadcast system... lol I've been back in WNC for about 15 years now. And, until very recently, we would only get Predators games on the RSNs out here. So, radio was the only option for me to keep up with the team. These were the dark years, too. Maybe, once a year, you'd get to see us get smashed on national TV by some original 6 powerhouse. If you were really lucky, Jeff Skinner would bless you with one of his absolutely stunning pirouette passes to nowhere, before Wardo toppled over off his head, giving up a goal on his 70th shot faced that night for an inspiring 1-0 loss. But, that story sounds a whole lot cooler when Chuck Kaiton is telling it to you in real-time with the raspy drawl of a calving heifer! Before TuneIn or the Canes apps even existed, I used to have to find the one spot out in the back yard, where the hills and trees parted just right, that I could pickup 730(?)AM The Buzz all the way out in Catawba county. I'd sit in the shadow of the mighty Appalachians, staring out at the stars and getting high with stray cats, while being serenaded by the worst hockey you've never seen played in your life. That all, finally, started to change around the time TD bought the team. Part of that is due to the new NHL TV contracts and the constant reorganization of the RSNs themselves. Part, was me breaking up with that feral cat and moving to LKN to escape all the painful memories. The march of progress, and all that... I will say though, as much as I've criticized Dundon and as much as I loathe the existence of billionaires on principle, he has done an exceptional job of improving the fan experience, on the whole. Working with the league to expand the coverage map and bringing in outdoor games and all-star weeks has been huge. But, improving the quality on the ice (and of the ice) for all levels of hockey across the state has been even bigger! I forgot where I was going with all this, but... I'll still never forgive him for retiring Chuck K, though! HEY, HEY, WHADDYA SAY!!!!
