8 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 8)

1. Return Of The Heartbreak Kid

So while Shawn Michaels coming out of retirement has some serious concerns, there are some positives to consider…

Michaels is long overdue to cash in on his marketability. There’s only so much for him to do as a mouthpiece or by making periodic appearances. It’s his work between the ropes that really draws people in, so he’s been leaving money on the table for years.

So many others have come back after seemingly retiring for good, so why not? Truth is, even if HBK isn’t even 75% of the old Michaels, it still will be better than half the roster. And by returning in a tag match with Triple H, Undertaker and Kane, the old guys can hide each other’s weak spots and exist within their own universe, away from other wrestlers who would easily be overshadowed.

In addition, fans have clamored for this for years, so now you’re finally getting it, so stop complaining.
