SummerSlam is one of the most anticipated PPV after WrestleMania. Most of the time this event has lived up to the expectations of the fans and the critics as well. SummerSlam has given us some of the greatest matches like Bret Hart vs. Davey Boy Smith, Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart, The Undertaker vs. Bret Hart, Brock Lesnar vs. The Rock, and more recently Chris Benoit vs. Randy Orton. For this year's SummerSlam only one match has been officially announced: that is the WWE Championship between John Cena and Chris Jericho. One match that every WWE fan is looking forward to is the dream match between Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels, although it has not been officially announced, but it is almost certain that it will take place at the second biggest stage. It all started last week on an edition of Monday night RAW when Shawn Michaels Super kicked Hogan .HBK's super-kick on Hogan will be remembered as a turning point in RAW history. It had been a long time since there had been a moment such as this one. Back to the match... Beyond the shadow of doubt this would be one of the greatest matches in history. Both of these men are regarded the best in their own league. Hulk Hogan is the man who single handedly took the sport to greater heights and built the WWF. He has been in the main event of first 9 WrestleManias. He has led one of the most dominant and successful stables ever, The New World Order and on the other hand Shawn Michaels is the man who has given us matches like Ladder match, first ever Iron man match and first ever Hell in a cell match .He is the first ever Grand Slam Champion in the WWE/F history. Many times he has laid his body on the line just for the Fans. They have both been involved in some of the most well remembered storylines in wrestling history.

For a while now, the Hulkster and HBK had been buddy-buddy with each other. They were always seen hugging each other after victories as well as giving each other high-fives on a regular basis. It looked like the perfect tag team combination. It was a delight watching two of the biggest Icons together in the ring.

But just like HBK did to his former Rockers tag team partner from the late 80's and early 90's, Michaels super-kicked himself to a whole new level. During an episode of Brutus Beefcake's Barbershop, Michaels super-kicked Jannetty through a window. He claimed he was tired of "carrying" the Rockers and he would be better off on his own. This time around HBK was starting to feel like he was in the shadow of Hogan. Michaels was not being him self anymore. So what better way to get out of someone's shadow than to knock down the object that is creating that shadow "

This will most likely lead to a match at SummerSlam. Two legends squaring off on the second largest stage. Needless to say, it should be great. It will be a match between two different generations with Shawn Michaels representing the Extreme high flying style and Hogan representing the old school.
