With HHH losing the belt at mania (cause he'll be working movies after XX) and the next PPV scheduled to be in Edmonton, Canada, there seems to be a strong possibility that the main event at Backlash will be HBK Shawn Michaels vs the Crippler Chris Benoit. Now, since the Canadians have lost their ability to support HBK, there is a SOLID possibilty that he'll be turning Heel, back to his cocky Boy-Toy attitude, a mix of the sherri era and the degeneration X era.(this is from sources) i personally would love to see that, cause im sick of seeing him get beat up, cursed at and treated like a 'pious legend'. He desperately need to go heel cause he was that for most of his carrer, and was the best at doing it.
Ps: No offense to canucks but HBK f***ing the canadian flag at the screwjob during his isle entrance was freakin hilarious!! Canucks can imagine another flag instead of theirs to get the laugh ;)
Hey sorry guys, ive learned my lesson. Actually, i hate HBK now for NOT being a heel and cutting awesome promos, and thats just my opinion. Also, i have also realised how many Un Americans thereare here on this board. So Ive got two words for Ya
SUCK IT
HBK Fucking the Canadian Flag will always be considered as a Hilarious Classic in the USA!!!
I'm from the good ole US of A. And I think desecrating a nation's flag...no matter whose flag...is repulsive. And to do it in the name of cheap entertainment, for a cheap pop, is even worse.
That being said, I also believe in forgiveness, so I don't STILL hate HBK for some of the things he did back when.
At least some day maybe I'll understand why some day maybe you never can. Or something like that.
A heel turn for HBK at this point is a good idea. He'd be more useful in that role. Right now on Raw, most of the guys waiting to move upcard are babyfaces: i.e. Jericho, RVD, Benoit.
As a heel, HBK will be in a better position to help put these guys over and solidify the next generation of main event talent on the Raw brand. That is, if he's actually willing to put anyone over.
So sayeth Randy Stilton, the real Stinky Cheese Man!

I think he tapped out to the Walls of Jericho on RAW.
What are u saying Vile? HBK hasnt put anyone over except HHH since his return? What were you sleeping all this time? I started to dislike the HBK 'legend' persona cause the writers made him look like crap by making him lose most of his matches, soo many of them. Now im happy cause hees in the place where he belongs, the top of the ladder, the main event spot! I was just spreading a hearsay that he'll be turning heel to rock the crowd once again, at XX.
again, im sorry if i hurt anyones feelings, but HBK fucking the Canadian flag at he screwjob was freakin Hilarious!!!
Oh lighten up, it was for heel heat and storyline purposes. It was obviously part of his character. There are much more logical reasons to hate Shawn the person than because his "character" desecrated the Canuckian flag on TV. No, I'm not asking anyone to list those other reasons, I've heard them plenty. Besides, it was atleast funnier than Test threatening to burn the American flag.
As for the heel turn, I don't think its going to happen, beyond Backlash. I think his cocky, degenerate days are pretty much done.

He did do that. But he only did it after Randy Orton came in and laid him out in the same match.

I'd have no problem with an HBK heel turn. Maybe we can see some of that old heel magic he exhibited in 97-98.
But if he's going heel and facing Benoit at Backlash, I hope to God they stay away from any Montreal references.
Edge: So Triple H wants me to come to Raw and fight him for the big gold belt. I've TOTALLY passed you on the card. Jericho: Yeah, but while Triple H is burying you, I get to make out with Trish in front of millions. You tell ME who the winner is here, junior!

I sincerely doubt that they could avoid it. Benoit's been dusting off the sharpshooter. Could be foreshadowing. Look for Earl Hebner to be officiating that match. If Hebner so much as pops his head from the behind the curtain in Edmonton, the "You Screwed Bret" chants are going be very, very loud.
So sayeth Randy Stilton, the real Stinky Cheese Man!
It seems the Montreal bit is just gonna come back to annoy us all again come Backlash anyway. I mean the moment the WWE blurted out "Backlash coming to Edmonton!" I knew they're just itching to use that damn angle again just to piss the Canadians off again.

And Vile, I think he also put over Randy 1 on 1.

You lighten up if you want. I don't have nightmares about it but Shawn could have said no. There are plenty of times people are asked to do things over the top, and they turn them down. He won't say "damn" on TV now. If you want to call it entertainment knock yourself out, but if it had been Old Glory that had gotten humped we'd be having a very different discussionr right now. But that never would have been allowed. Only Shawn Michaels could have pulled off visiting a country, profiting from the gate in this country, and fucking its flag in the middle of the ring. It's really quite absurd when you think about it.
But desecrating anyone's flag is just wrong.
I'd tell you to kiss my ass, but I don't want to get it infected.
I am Canadian and I was always cheering for Shawn Michaels over Bret Hart. With the exception of the Canada vs. USA storyline. I will never forget that RAW when the Canadian Flag was being waved at the end of the show because we just won the Flag Match! Shawn Michaels was always one of my favourites and I hope he comes back as the cocky asshole so I can cheer him again!
WHEN WRESTLEMANIA X8 CAME TO TORONTO THERE WASN'T A SCREWJOB! What makes you think they will do another one?
Where are u wcw watchers out there. I know there are some closet big wiggle fans out there. so what was you guys favorte norman smiley moment? what the hell happend to ralphus?
