The rock coming back is good for this mania. They really needed a big star to fight any way. Who better than him?

Brock vs rock would be awesome.
Rock vs reigns would be awesome
Rock vs triple h would be awesome
Rock vs KO would be awesome

The Rock coming back is good, not bad.

The New Day vs The Rock & The Usos would be an interesting match with a comical build up. It definitely won't happen tho.

The Rock vs HHH and The Rock vs Lesnar, I can definitely see happening.

Also, The Rock vs Reigns sounds interesting to me. But I doubt it'll happen, though.

Would be dope if we got Rock vs HBK:rock:

Meh. Ten to twelve years too late imo.

Would be even more dope if we got Austin wrestling next year instead of Rock, but oh well. I'm still glad we're at least getting Rocky, since next year's Wrestlemania needs star power badly, but I just don't see Rock vs HHH in 2016 doing much for me. Rock vs Brock I'd be fine with just as long as Brock went over in the end.

Any match Rock is going to be in is 12 years too late. He's much past his wrestling prime. But at least HBK vs Rock would br something that we've never seen before.

And Michaels is 50 now and hasn't wrestled a match in over half a decade. Plus, seeing him return just to face The Rock seems off to me and not the most interesting path that they could take storyline wise. At least when Rock faced Cena and Punk, they were in their primes or not far from them.

I think Shawn Michaels could have 1 more great match. Yeah he's old, but he still looks like he's in decent shape. Plus he's the show stopper and 1 of the greatest performers ever in wrestling. And they could set the storyline up if they went through with HHH vs Reigns for the main event at Wrestlemania. The Rock would buddy up with Reigns against the Authority, so who better to handle Rocky then Triples H's best friend? It would make more sense than Brock vs Rock. Because there isn't a storyline there at all besides them being the 2 biggest part timers in the company and have 1 match 12 years ago.

Do I think it will happen? Not at all. HBK had an excellent retirement match against Taker, so theres no reason for him to return. Just like Stone Cold with his retirement match with Rock.

If HBK came back for one more match, he'd get addicted to it again and then never leave.

Plus, as it's been said already, he had a wonderful send-off a few years ago and while I love the man, he should enjoy the rest of his life.

I know what the set-up for it could be, but I'd have much preferred they fought years ago when both guys were much younger and still in or near their prime. I don't care much for seeing it today just because it's two big stars that never fought back in the day. The only match I'm interested in seeing Michaels wrestle nowadays is against either Daniel Bryan or Seth Rollins.
