When Shawn Michaels enters the WWE Hall of Fame in the future, Michaels wants Bret Hart to induct him to give the induction a more credible feel. Michaels says he doesn't want a "fluffy" ceremony, but an honest perspective from someone like Bret Hart on his rocky career.
"He's always been a guy even know that despite all of our differences, he's still always been objective about my ability," Michaels told Brian Fritz for Between the Ropes radio. "The only thing that he wouldn't have any knowledge of is the person I am now and I understand that."
Michaels says it might sound crazy for him to want Hart to induct him into the Hall, but he wants more than just a fantasy story about his career. He says Hart would tell it straight to the WWE audience.
"It was just something that I thought, gosh, my Hall of Fame induction to be more about truth more than anything else," Michaels said. "I just figured it would be neat or nice to have somebody that can give a real perspective on the journey because it hasn't been a fairytale."
Before Michaels calls it a career and receives his Hall of Fame induction, he faces The Undertaker at WrestleMania 25 on Sunday. Michaels says there isn't as much pressure on himself to perform this year compared to wrestling Ric Flair because he's not expected to carry the match.
"Even though we haven't been in the ring that many times ... you're around each other enough to know that you don't have to worry about the other guy," Michaels said about working with Undertaker. "The pressure last year was, obviously, the culmination of this man (Flair) that has been such a hallmark of this industry."

And before HBK's entrance, Taker went to Shawn and told him that if he didn't do the job for Austin that HBK would have a "really long night".
LMAO....that would be enough to get anyone back into line!

"It's time to shake things up again!"
It's been a while since John Cena and Edge where actually supposed to be on the same show... I look forward to their inevitable 10+ matches this year 
.
I'm just hoping for "The Undertaker" switching to RAW.

FORMER WWE wrestler Andrew 'Test' Martin died after overdosing on the painkiller known as 'Hillbilly heroin', The Sun can reveal.
The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner announced that the cause of death was Oxycodone intoxication and ruled the manner of death was accidental overdose.
Oxycodone is the addictive ingredient found in the painkiller OxyContin.
The pill, dubbed ‘Hillbilly heroin’, is widely abused and linked to hundreds of deaths in the US including that of Test's fellow wrestler Sensational Sherri Martel and Oscar winning actor Heath Ledger.
Test was found dead at his apartment in Tampa, Florida, on March 14 after a neighbour reported that he had appeared motionless for several hours.
The 33-year-old grappler was known to have had issues with steroids, painkillers and alcohol throughout the last decade – although he had recently completed a successful stint in rehab paid for by his former employer.
Dick Bailey, Manager of Operations at Hillsborough County, said: “Dr Vernard Adams, Chief Medical Examiner, conducted the autopsy of Mr Andrew Martin on March 14 2009.
“Additional studies were required to determine the cause and manner of death.
“On April 9 2009, Dr Adams completed the required studies and issued the following cause and manner of death opinions.
“Cause of Death: Intoxication by Oxycodone.
“Manner of Death: Accident.”
Test held World Wrestling Entertainment’s intercontinental, European and hardcore belts. He was also a tag team champion.
