Scott Hall On Reason For Cancelled Ireland Shows, Kevin Nash U.K. Tour, Shawn Michaels On "HBK Line"
- Shawn Michaels got some media this week after he trended on Twitter when he was asked about Pittsburgh Penguins players Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino and Phil Kessel, who play on a line dubbed the "HBK line." Michaels was asked for his thoughts on the name, to which he replied:
Not sure my "blessing" means much but anybody w/an #HBK line is OK with me!! ?? #PITvsTBL https://t.co/xa9E5aegxp

Regretfully, Scott is refusing to honour his commitments as per agreed terms for the scheduled Dublin & Cork shows. Refunds will be issued from point of purchase. We cannot comment further at this time as while we consider taking this matter further.
