|:THE LIGHTS GO DIM IN THE HwC ARENA AS J.R. AND THE
KING BECOME SILENT WITH A CONFUSED EXCITEMENT. THEN, AS FIREWORKS BLAST FROM THE STAGE, A NONE TOO FAMILIAR THEME MUSIC HITS.
THE THEME MUSIC OF...
D-GENERATION X!:|
|:TRIPLE H, SHAWN MICHAELS, AND CHYNA APPEAR AT THE TOP OF THE STAGE AS THE FIREWORKS CONTINUE FIRING OFF.
THE CROWD HOWLS WITH EXCITEMENT AS THE GAME AND THE SHOWSTOPPA’ STRUT DOWN THE RAMP, DANCING AND TAUNTING. THEY GET
INTO THE RING, AND CLIMB THE TURNBUCKLES. THEY CROTCH CHOP THE CROWD THREE TIMES IN SYNCRONIZATION, AND THEN HOP DOWN. THEY
MEET IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND CROTCH CHOP THREE TIMES AS PYRO BLASTS BEHIND THEM, LEAVING AN X IN THE SMOKE’S
TRAIL. SHAWN MICHAELS GRABS TWO MICS FROM A STAFF MEMBER NEAR THE APRON, AND HANDS ONE TO HUNTER. TRIPLE H THEN GRABS THE
MICROPHONE AND BRINGS IT TO HIS LIPS SLOWLY:|

Triple H-Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, D-Generation
X proudly presents to you The Game, Triple H, and The Show Stoppa’, The Main Event, The HwC Cruiserweight Champion,
The Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels! (Triple H pauses, and looks around at the crowd with a smirk on his face) Are You Ready!?!?
I said ARE…YOU…READY!!??!!??!!?? Then, for the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching at home…
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLETS GET RRRREADY TO SSSSUCK ITTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!
Shawn Michaels-Just when you thought it was safe to turn the television back on, look
who’s back in town! The guys who were rebels before being a rebel was cool! The rule breakin’, heart breakin’,
bone breakin’ Degenerates are back, baby! Me and You, Hunter, back on the prowl!
Triple H-That’s right, folks. The first ever Grand Slam Champion and the former
Nine Time WWE World Champion have united once again to bring havoc and chaos to the world of Hardcore Wrestling Championship!
My brother in crime Shawn Michaels has already one the Cruiserweight championship his first week here. I won my first match
in a handicap situation. We’ve already established that we are the real deal here in this company, and it’s time
for us to have a little bit of fun. Whaddya say Shawn?
Shawn
Michaels-Well, Hunter, I’d have to sa—
|:JUST AS MICHAELS WAS ABOUT TO SPEAK, “NO CHANCE” BEGINS TO PLAY. VINCE MCMAHON WALKS OUT ONTO
THE STAGE. HE HOLDS UP A MIC IN ONE HAND, AND A PIECE OF PAPER WITH THE OTHER. HE BEGINS TO SPEAK:|
Vince
McMahon-Now you listen right now. You see this piece of paper here? This is an official HwC Contract that BOTH
of you men signed when you agreed to be part of this company. It says right here that there is no offending, harassing, or
harming the HwC staff. Now you two…two….hoodlums have been known to cause quite a few uprisings back in the day,
and if either of you two think that for one SECOND I’m going to let ANY of that sort of behavior pass, then you’re
wrong! I’ll have both of your contracts torn to shreds within mere seconds after you two do even the slightest thing
out of place!

Now I’m serious here, guys. You know what, I have a little bit of a plan to take action with you two, and I’m
gonna come down there and tell it to you. (Vince begins to walk towards the ring.) You see, fellas, you degenerates walk around
thinking that it’ll be just like old days. Just like the Golden Days. Well, as long as I’m around, I’ll
make sure that it doesn’t. (Vince walks up the stairs and into the ring.) This Time, I’m in charge. This Time,
You will be under my control. I’ll have you in the palm of my hand, and you won’t be able to do anything about
it! You will listen to ME! (Just then, Shawn Michaels walks right up into Vince’s Face.)

Shawn
Michaels- Now hold on just a second. You Listen To ME! Who’s the Showstoppa’? ME! Who’s the
Main Event? ME! Who is the HwC Cruiserweight Champion? ME, Vince! And you wanna know something else? This Monday, Triple H
is going to defeat his former mentor Ric Flair, and Move on to the World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble. Now
IF…YOU…PLEASE! We were in the middle of something.
|:VINCE
SLOWLY WALKS FROM THE RING, AND DOWN THE RAMP TOWARDS THE BACKSTAGE AREA WITH HIS TAIL TUCKED BETWEEN HIS LEGS. SHAWN AND
HUNTER WATCH AND WAVE AS HE WALKS INTO THE BACK.
AFTER HE IS GONE, HHH ONCE AGAIN
BEGINS TO SPEAK:|
Triple
H- Now, as we were saying before we were so RUDELY interrupted, We are ready to take this company by force,
and we will do WHAT we want, WHEN we want to! And It starts this Monday night on Mayhem when I defeat “The Nature Boy”
Ric Flair. He’s been washed up for years. The only thing that kept his career going was MY Career, and after this Monday,
he’ll finally know that his career is DONE! I’m The Game, and He’s an old flabby wrestler who’s past
his prime. Now If you’re not down with that, WE GOT TWO WORDS FOR YA!
Shawn
Michaels- SUCK IT!

YOU READY…” HITS THE P.A. SYSTEM, AND D-GENERATION X STRUTS DOWN THE STAIRS AND BACK TO THEIR LOCKER ROOM:|
