Mankind vs HBK

By Scott Keith on September 23, 2017

I was watching the fantastic Shawn Michaels vs Mankind match from Mind Games and given how good it was, and the fact that Foley was hot at the time do you think it would have been beneficial for both parties and the WWF in general to extend the feud? The
way I see it playing out is Mankind beats Vader in a number one contenders match at the October PPV, (as an added bonus we would get to see those two pound the shit out each other one more time.) At Survivor Series Mankind's craziness causes Shawn to snap
and get DQ'd, leading to a no DQ match at the Rumble which Shawn would win, leaving them right where they ended up anyway, at which point Shawn can go work a program with Bret, or lose his smile or whatever.

Your thoughts?

As much as I'd be on board with more Shawn vs Mick, they were really wanting that Shawn hometown win at the Rumble, and Mankind just wasn't a big enough monster for Shawn to slay. That being said, Shawn wasn't doing anything of note on the October PPV anyway, so why not do a rematch there? It IS pretty weird that even the stupid Diana Hart storyline got 2 PPVs to resolve.
