Shawn dropped to number 16 in the WWE Power 25 this week:

HBK still might be in the middle of a battle of integrity, but it seems as though his services aren’t benefitting JBL as much as he would like after Michaels lost JBL’s No Way Out Qualifying Match on Raw.

Power 25 Archives

JBL’s investment in the services of Shawn Michaels failed to wrest the World Championship from John Cena at the Royal Rumble. The very next evening on RAW, Michael’s failure to follow his employer JBL’s instructions cost JBL a coveted spot in the World Championship Elimination Chamber at No Way Out. Is it possible that JBL bought a lemon no longer capable of producing lemonade? That question may get me superkicked this Monday in St. Louis.

Jim Ross mentioned Shawn in this week’s Smackdown This column:

The John Cena vs. JBL World Title Bout seemed to center as much around Shawn Michaels as it did the two participants both of whom HBK has defeated in the past. I can understand HBK’s financial angst as I just met with our accountant and some of our stock funds died a natural death in ’08 to the tune of significant losses. Losses that equated to more than I annually earned early in my career. World’s Champion John Cena is a bull and his use of the STF is good stuff and reminds me of two items. One, Masa Chono utilized this maneuver to win many bouts in Japan back in the day and event further back in the day Lou Thesz, who won his first NWA World’s Title in 1937, used the STF at times as well. Once Thesz hooked then-wrestler Paul Boesch, who became the promoter of wrestling in Houston for years, in the STF near mid-ring and told Paul that was far as Paul was concerned the ring ropes “were at least a mile away.”
