Shawn Michaels: "Nowadays the greatest thing about the HBK chant is that it gives me a moment to catch my breath, 'cause I'm not used to doing that stuff anymore. Now, several weeks ago I came out here and strangely enough caused a little trouble. [HBK! HBK!] Well, I appreciate that. I mean, I got my breath back. I'm good. But still, thanks for the help. Anyhoo, it got pretty heated between Triple H and myself. But you have to understand, see, I really, I desperately wanted him to take this match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania. I wanted him to step in there and take down the streak. After what I saw him do last year I knew he can do it, but the fact of the matter is, you know, he said no.

But it doesn't matter. That's all water under the bridge because something - I don't know what! - but something has made him change his mind. And the fact of the matter is, it is gonna happen at WrestleMania. And my good buddy, he not only accepted the match, he uped the ante. And it is gonna be Hell in a Cell! Really, I'm just here to find out what in the world it was that made him change his mind. I just... I mean, I got to know. I'm so... Hunter, without further ado, as they say: Come on out here, because I got to hear it from the horse's mouth. [Triple Hs Theme erklingt und er kommt zum Ring. Dort angekommen wird er erstmal von Michaels überschwänglich umarmt]

Now, okay, look... I know several weeks ago I was pretty hard on you, alright? I mean, I threw everything but the kit... I threw the kitchen sink at you. I was tough. But you have to understand, I really wanted you to take that match. And, you know, it's amazing. You know, it's... that's why you are the responsible one. I mean, it didn't matter what I said. I mean, I took every cheap shot I could. I hit you below the belt. I said things no friend should say. We've been friends for what? Seventeen years. And I went out there and put that friendship on the line. I mean, I pushed the envelope. I pushed the limits with you and I... I got to tell you, I'm amazed. You didn't buckle. You didn't waver.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this man is an oak. An oak, I tell you. Yes, I thought of every dirty, underhanded, despicable thing I could think of to try to talk you into taking that match, but would you do it? No! No. And you wanna know why? Because you, my friend, are a man of conviction. A man of honor. A man of integrity. What was it you said? He was a brand. And all sorts of cool corporate stuff. But you know something? You didn't give in. I mean, let's face it. I called you a coward. Do you know something? I don't know anybody in all the years you and I have known each other, nobody looks at Triple H and calls him a coward to his face and gets away with it. I did. And guess what? You did nothing! That's amazing. That, my friends, that is why I say he is an oak. He's an oak.

But something, something made you change your mind. And I got to tell you, I got to know what it is. I mean, because with me he wouldn't waver. But somebody must have said something that really made you mad. Somebody must have said something to make you have some kind of *puuuf* revelation. Something that brought you to your knees. Something so humiliating, so degrading, that there is no way you're gonna turn it down. And I got to ask you: What was it? What was it?"

Triple H: "Shawn, I just..."

Shawn Michaels: "You know something? I don't want you to tell me. You know what I want to do? I wanna do, what everybody else got to do. 'cause you know, I don't know if I mentioned it, but I didn't get to see it. Can we get... you guys, that hold the cameras, somebody in the truck... can we get them to bring up the footage? I wanna see it. I wanna stand with my best friend of seventeen years. I wanna sit with you and the world and share this moment that made you break down and say 'I can do it'. C'mon, c'mon, c'mon. Let's, you and I, share this together!" [Er legt den Arm um Triple H und auf der Videowand sind die Szenen von vor zwei Wochen zu sehen. Damals nahm Triple H die Herausforderung des Undertakers an, nachdem dieser behauptete, Shawn sei schon immer der Bessere von beiden gewesen]

Triple H: "Shawn..."

Shawn Michaels: "So, that's all it took!? The worst thing that anybody could say to you is that I am better than you."

Triple H: "It has nothing to do with that, Shawn. I know you didn't see this live, but I know you've heard. I know you got my vioce mail. But if you want me to do this in front of the whole world, I will. It's got nothing to do with wether you're better than me, or I'm better than you, or anything like that. Shawn, I'm tired of it. I'm tired of listening to it. You understand me? I'm tired of listening to people like The Undertaker talk behind your back, saying you couldn't get the job done. I'm tired of people talking behind your back, saying you're a failure. I'm tired of people saying on the way out you couldn't do it because you were never as good as you thought were in the first place. That eats me up, Shawn! Because I'm your best friend and because I'm also the guy that believes with every fiber of his being that you are the greatest in-ring performer of all time. So it kills me. It pains me beyond measure to look at you as a loser. That's why I'm gonna do it, Shawn. That's why I'm gonna finish it. I am gonna end The Undertaker! I am gonna end the streak! I am gonna end an era! I am gonna do what everybody runs their mouth, saying you couldn't do. I'm gonna do it for me. And just as much, buddy, I'm gonna do it for you."

Shawn Michaels: "Well, thanks for that. I mean, here I was, I thought we had a problem. But obviously we don't. 'cause like always Triple H, in his nice suit, Triple H has got everything under control. Silly me. You know, last year it hurt me. It hurt me more that you can possibly imagine to have to look you in the eyes and tell you, you couldn't get it done. And then I sat down at WrestleMania and I watched you go out there and completely dominate The Undertaker! I watched you go out there and show the world why you're The Game. Why you're the Cerebral Assassin. I watched you go out there and beat him with nearly an inch of his life. And then you lost. And I was right. This year at WrestleMania, Hell in a Cell, I know who's gonna win. And I'll be right again. [Er will den Ring verlassen, dreht sich dann aber nochmal um] I'm sorry. The reason I know that is because I've been made the special referee!"
