I read somewhere, probably back in December, that the reason why Brian Kendrick got a shiny new bodyguard, was so that WWE creative could start grooming him to be the new Shawn Michaels.
At first glance, the two have similar characteristics. Both had fairly successful tag-team careers, and Kendrick still seems to, albeit aided by a monster of a bodyguard name Ezekiel Jackson, much like HBK's Diesel in the 90's.
Both have fairly high-flying tendencies with their repertoire of moves as well. Kendrick has tried to add more substantial moves, but so far has faltered, much like HBK did in the early part of his career
So here's where I put my foot down. Kendrick can't be the new HBK, because there is a better option on every front.
His name? "The Shaman of Sexy," John Morrison...More?

Update on Lex Luger's Health
Lex Luger has had a rough time over the last few years with his heath taking a major turn for the worse in 2008 when he was paralyzed in both arms and both legs after suffering a spinal stroke. Since then he has recovered considerably and can now get around some days without the use of crutches or cane. He still has issues with his hands which has made dialing a phone or gripping things difficult. He plans to have another carpal tunnel surgery soon, hoping that it will improve his hands.
