Does anybody know why he has not been getting any matches on RAW? With the exception of that tag match with Jericho where HBK faked being hurt the whole time and then hit the superkick...he hasn't wrestled on RAW since BEFORE wrestlemania!
Yet EVERY WEEK after RAW goes off the air, he wrestles in a dark match bonus main event!
So my question is, at his age and risk of injuries, if he is going to wrestle anyway, WHY NOT HAVE IT BE ON TV? And if he's not going to be wrestling on TV, why not let him rest so he can stay healthy and keep his career longer?
I'm just pissed that he's wrestling off TV because that means my favorite wrestler could potentially suffer a career ending injury in a dark match that nobody will ever see.
Anybody agree that if HBK isn't wrestling on TV, they should "save him" and only use him when it's televised?

I think the reason that shawn Michaels isn't doing that many matches is because he has a bad back. But I don't know if its true or not but thats what I heard so maybe hes taking it slow and only doing some matches at a time so he doesn't have anymore injurys.

But my point was that he is wrestling EVERY MONDAY, just not on TV....so really, that would mean he isn't slowing down, right? If he was going to be held off RAW in order to stay healthy and rest his back I would understand...but to keep him OFF RAW and then to have him come out and wrestle in DARK MATCHES after the show goes off the air....it makes no sense to me. |

Maybe the reason he is staying off Raw and doing darkmatches is beacause he might just want a break and rest up a little for One night stand and stuff that could be it instead of going and wreslting on TV and getting hurt and then won't be able to wreslte at One night stand.

Well, for a few weeks, he wasn't wrestling to sell the fake knee injury after Backlash.
The only idea I can come up with is him requesting to have a few weeks off while still maintaining an on-screen role so he can heal up from some pain. Although, the concept of working dark matches each week after Raw really negates this idea completely.
Maybe wrestling dark matches, especially tag matches, isn't as tough on his body and it wouldn't interfere with storylines happening on Raw each week; I'm not really sure. Whatever the case may be, I'm sure he'll become active on Raw again once this whole HBK/Batista/Jericho feud is finished with. Except, of course, if Batista fake injures him at ONS and puts him out of action for a few weeks.

Yeah, I've been missing HBK big time lately. Even though he's at every RAW and wrestled at the PPV's I feel like he's sort of not really there because he doesn't wrestle on RAW anymore. Especially if they stick him in dark matches, he should be wrestling on RAW. I get the feeling like he's semi-retired right now.

He's technically on RAW every week, but last night it was like "wow, I feel like I haven't seen Shawn Michaels in like 4 months". It's like he's not even on the show when all he does is walk out and talk for like 6 minutes and then he's done for the show. |

I was at Raw last night, and I can tell you he barely wrestled in the 6 man tag. The match itself couldn't have been longer then 6 or 7 minutes. Backbody drop, elbow drop, and a superkick. That's about it. And then dancing with Teddy Long and JR. I doubt he'd ever get hurt in one of these matches.
