I was around for Hogan/Andre, and the build for this isn't even in the same universe as it was for that.

Who else would he have faced? Especially in a retirement match? HHH out of nowhere? Not really any buildup, and neither would be a true built up heel. As well as Sheamus would've been left out of WM. HBK/Taker was huge last year, if it can be huge again, it'd be great, and just as you think, people will be thinking HBK has to win, and be sweating every pinfall

I don't know, I'm feeling an HBK win. I can't imagine WWE will send fans home with the retirement of HBK.

Easily could've been a lot better, something like some submission moves, even a finisher aside from Orton's

Fair enough, sounds like my expectations were far lower than yours.

I don't think HBK wants to retire. Just take a break.

Agreed. UT can't really finish HBK off in an "I love you, I'm sorry" way like HBK/Flair.

Eh, I'd say it's up there with Hogan/Andre, Hogan/Warrior, and Rock/Austin II. Probably falls behind all of them, but still a big draw.

And to be honest, if HBK really did want this to be his last match, I think they'd have set up HBK vs. HHH for it.

retirements in wrestling are never permanent. even if he loses, very likely he'll be back at some point.

This will be just like HBK against Kurt Angle, lose first year, win second. This wrestlemania has had absolutely nothing to remember it by other than the year undertaker loses. altho shawn doesnt look himself does he?

Best retirement match ever Warrior vs Randy Savage. Less than a year later Macho Man is wrestling again.

I think WWE made Swagger win to screw with us, they're gonna do the same here with HBK winning

i have a feeling it will be some weird finish where neither wins/loses like shawn michaels ascends to heaven whilst hell swallows taker over

not rreally enough hype for a retirement or end of the streak tbh
