"There's so much blood on these hands!"

Chris Jericho: "Now this is a very emotional time for everybody, especially for you, Shawn. I just wanted to let you know what the results are of the poll, the text message poll. Where you in the right doing what you did? And our fans say... 65 percent think you did the right thing. And it has been a very emotional time, many tears were shed. Hell, the three of us stood in this very ring with Ric Flair and shed tears with millions of others last week on RAW. But quite honestly, none of those tears would have to have been shed if it wasn't for you, Shawn."

Shawn Michaels: "Now you... now you gonna jump on that bandwagon? Now you're gonna make me out to be the bad guy? You need to understand somethin', Jericho. You and everybody else needs to understand, it was Ric Flair, it was Ric Flair who challenged ME to the match at WrestleMania. He asked me... he asked me to be Mr. WrestleMania and that's who he got. I..."

Chris Jericho: "Well, we know, we know, easy, Shawn, easy! We know that you are (Mr.) WrestleMania, we know that you brought your A-game, especially by one move that we saw. Let's check out exactly what you did for your A-game at WrestleMania."

Chris Jericho: "I mean, eh, my sources have told me that you've cracked some ribs, you're out for a couple of weeks. You're lucky! That was absolutely insane, what you did! Shawn, your A-game, being Mr. WrestleMania, entails you to put your body through hell to get what you wanted. And what you wanted was to end Ric Flair's career. We all saw the classic close-up of your face, before you gave the Super Kick, that ended the greatest career in the history of sports entertainment. In the close-up you said, 'I'm sorry! I love you!' ... 'I'm sorry! I love you!' ... But, Shawn, come on, you almost broke yourself in half to get what you wanted. How much remorse did you really have? Were you ever really truly sorry?"

Shawn Michaels: "I was! And I am! I mean I am sorry..."

Batista: "Like hell you are! Like HELL YOU ARE! The only thing you're sorry about is that everyone's calling you on your crap! So you can say you're sorry all you want, the fact is, is that YOUR EGO forced you to beat Ric so you could have another notch on your belt. So congratulations, Shawn Michaels ends the career of the greatest pro-wrestler of all times. I hope you're proud!"

Chris Jericho: "Come on, woho, Big Dave, you tell me you wouldn't have done the exact same thing under the exact same circumstances?"

Batista: "Yes, that's what I'm telling you. No way I was gonna..."

Shawn Michaels: "OH, WHAT ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU? THE HIGH-AND-MIGHTY BATISTA? YOU'RE ABOVE ALL THIS? ... You wouldn't put your ego in front of your friendship with Ric Flair? Your friendship with Ric Flair? What, for five years? I have idolized that man since I was sixteen years old! Your friendship with Ric Flair? ... Where was your friendship, Dave, weeks prior to the match at WrestleMania? Everybody knew about it. Where was your friendship the night of the hall of fame? And more importantly, DAVE, where was your friendship the day of WrestleMania, when you had plenty of opportunity to talk Ric Flair OUT of stepping into the ring with me?

In hindsight now, everybody knew it was inevitable, how CONVENIENT. Do you wanna know somethin', Dave Batista? You wanna know why Ric Flair didn't ask YOU to be the other man in that ring with him at WrestleMania? I'll tell you why! Because he knew you didn't have the nerve! He knew that there was only one man that he could trust, one man to do the unthinkable, one man with the character to carry that burden with him the rest of his live, and you are lookin' at him!

Look at these hands, Dave! Look at these hands! LOOK AT 'EM! ... There's so much blood on these hands, Dave Batista. Some of it I'm proud of, but some of it I'm not. And in spite of what you think, WrestleMania was the hardest night of my career..."

Batista: "Shawn, it was because (of) all those battles, it was because (of) all that blood on your hands that I trusted you. I trusted YOU to do the right thing!"

Shawn Michaels: "I DID THE RIGHT THING!"

Batista: "I WON'T! I WILL NEVER EVER MAKE THE MISTAKE OF TRUSTING YOU AGAIN!"

Shawn Michaels: "I DID THE RIGHT THING! I am SO sick and tired of going back-and-forth with you, big man. If you want some of me, do somethin' about it! Do somethin' about it!"

[Michaels wirft das Mikrofon beiseite, doch Batista schmunzelt nur und sagt:]

Batista: "I already have..."
