Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Kennedy @ The Royal Rumble

Do you care? I don't really. Mr. Kennedy just doesnt seem to have that extra something that I look for in main eventers. Something about him is just so rehearsed to me. It's like he is trying to hard or something.

Then you have the HBK aspect of the match. This poor guy is essentially a better version of Kane. He is a main event talent that is constantly putting over other people. He may even win a match here and there, but you are sure he is going to get his ass handed to him for a good portion of the match.

So who wins?

Honestly, we've seen them feuding for about two months now. I think it's time for them to move on. I'd rather see them both in the Rumble itself, and hopefully they will still be included in addition to their singles match. A RR match without HBK just won't be the same.

I'm one of the few around here who find Kennedy entertaining. Sure, he's not the best mat technician, and makes mistakes, but overall I like the character. I don't know if he's ready for the main event spotlight yet, but he can stay in the upper card IMO.

I wouldn't mind a Kennedy/HHH feud. But with Wrestlemania around the corner, one of those two guys might be in line for a World Title match. Having them feud at WM24 would be nice, but you might have a HHH/Flair match in there instead, which would probably be more exciting for me.

Who wins? Probably HBK, and then hopefully they can both move on. Kennedy has the momentum now, with winning the 12/31 match against Shawn, so the tide will reverse one more time.

For whatever the reason, and I don't have the answer, but Kennedy has taken a big step back since his injury right after last year's Mania where he won the MITB. He needs something fresh and this feud with HBK hasn't been the remedy. I expect to see both men in the Rumble anyway, so I'd say whoever wins the match will eliminate the other guy in the Rumble.

Not really true, he has made Kennedy ,look much weaker than him in the majority of this feud, and what he did with young Randy in their feud was disgusting
