Report: Shawn Michaels Retiring After WrestleMania

Shawn Michaels has been telling friends as of late he plans on retiring at WrestleMania. His contract is set to expire soon and he has talked about wanting to spend more time with his children as they grow up.

Michaels himself has made noise about retiring in recent years, to the point that WWE actually scripted jokes about it on Raw. After taking time off in 2008, he made noise about deciding not to come back. Like previous times he'd taken time off, WWE would call him back to return and he would. He also said in a radio interview last year that he had told the company his retirement date (which at the time was this year's WrestleMania). On the other hand, he's brought up the idea of wrestling well into his fifties, though only a match or two per year.

Michaels is not advertised for any shows past the night after WrestleMania when RAW emanates from the US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

HBK and taker should both retire

 

[THEUNGODD666]

could just be a ploy to get all the internet fans thinking he is going to lose.... not the first time WWE has put out fake stories to throw people off

As much as I think Shawn should settle down and let go of Wrestling,
the fan in me is like noooooooo.

I WAS WATCHING TNA THE OTHER NIGHT AND WAS SAYING THE WHOLE TIME HOOTIE IS TOO OLD AND IF FLAIR LOSES ANY MORE JUICE HE IS GOING TO NEED SOME BLOOD PUMPED BACK INTO HIM

Thats a great banner ungodd

 

[Darkshowdown]

in writting looks likes the taker gonna win. but now that this leaked you know wwe gonna change that match up now. I think they will do a angle where he got injured in the match or the night after to put him out.

great heartfelt farewell by shawn, good to see he retired whie retaining his dignity unlike Ric Flair. Shawn can probably land a gig on the evangelical circuit with his love for Jesus and his incomparable public speaking skills.

He's gonna do a faith based reality show.

Really? Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he did... or if he became an ordained minister or some shit.
