Setting aside the fact that they were supposed to be shilling the Triple H/Undertaker match at Super Show-Down, Shawn Michaels and the Deadman owned the show when they were in the ring together Monday night.

The two legends engaged in a back-and-forth that centered on Taker retiring Michaels at WrestleMania 26 and HBK staying retired. UT suggested that Michaels held a grudge, while Michaels said he had stayed retired – despite pleas from fans and other wrestlers – out of respect to the Undertaker.

The Deadman replied that if HBK came out of retirement, it would be for only one person – him. And that he wouldn’t come out of retirement out of fear.

DAMN.

If this was promoting an Undertaker/Michaels match, they could start printing money right now. But sadly, it wasn’t.
