HBK on Vince's 'blacklist'?

It seems there might be some tension right now between WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and former WWE superstar Shawn Michaels. According to Dave Meltzer, McMahon recently made the call to have the announcers no longer mention Michaels on air and for there to be no footage of him shown on WWE television. Reports are circulating that the reasoning behind this was that Michaels was very unhappy about the Bryan Danielson situation. It's also believed that McMahon is upset that HBK decided to call time on his wrestling career, as McMahon felt there was still more years left in the tank. Michaels is said to be very distanced from having any involvement with wrestling at this point.

I call bullshit on it.

Please god, no 'HBK to TNA?' threads.

Oh I only pray that we dont get these HBK to TNA threads. I truly believe that he has actually called it quits after saying he is going into retirement, unlike guys like, say Flair and Hogan?

Yeah I can see Vince being pissed off because Shawn quit before Vince wanted him too, I think its just ridiculous how Vince expects Shawn to have continued when in fact it was known Shawn was suffering.

In my best Dan Aykroyd voice, "Vince, you ignorant slut!"

Throughout his amazing career, Shawn has never been afraid to tell Vince exactly what he felt.  And when he felt Vince was making a mistake, he has always been, shall we say "standoff-ish" about his point of view?  I noticed on Monday, that the opening credits to RAW had changed again and I did not notice HBK on them like I usually do.  If this is true, I'm sure it stems from HBK being pissed about Bryan Danielson and his release, because it is utter bullshit.  And HBK would have no qualms about telling Vince either.  Surely to God, if Hunter gets wind of this he'll stick up for Shawn and tell Vince how petty he is being.  I know the dude is his son and law, but the two founding DX members have a bond that I believe runs very, very deep.

Why can't Vince be happy for Shawn?  Why can't he, like the rest of us be glad that he retired at the top of his game, instead of becoming another pathetic wrestling cliche like Flair?  That ungrateful prick!  After everything they have been through and after everything Shawn risked for that company, for him to turn around and treat him like "just another piece of Vince's property", is so wrong.  If this is true, if we find out that he's keeping him out of the HOF for this, I will never watch WWE again, that much I can assure you.  Now maybe this isn't even true, in that case, this entire rant is a bit superfluous really.  But if it is true,....oh man.

But I have to disagree with legendkiller, HBK is very much a huge star in this business that very much gets a very big reaction from the WWE crowd, no matter the city.  I know there are those "rats" in the crowd, but there is also many, many fans who attend WWE events who loved every second that HBK was in that ring.  Let's not forget how much merch DX has moved since their 2006 reunion, another reason that Vince should do the right thing and fuck right off!

Contrary to rumors, there is no heat between HBK and Vince McMahon. We never reported that here on this website. WWE understands that at 45, that Shawn is in a different place in his life at this time. On the upcoming WrestleMania XXVI: The World Television Premiere, the Shawn Michaels-Undertaker match that led to Michaels' retirement is featured prominently.
