Ric Flair took to his Wooooo! Nation podcast recently to claim that WWE had offered Shawn Michaels a money spinning return at the Royal Rumble. The Nature Boy said: They want him so bad for Royal Rumble, but he aint budging from that ranch down there in Texas. After five years away from the ring, the chances of this ever happening were virtually nil. The Heartbreak Kid mentioned on his recent Stone Cold Steve Austin podcast appearance that he has new passions in his life that concern his faith, his reality TV show and his children. We'll have to wait for Shawn to either confirm or deny this rumour to see whether it was actually true. The way things are going, this certainly looks like being the year of nostalgia in WWE, with the company looking to a plethora of older talent to replace those struck down by injury.
