.:.:[ Next Match ]:.:. HBK Shawn Michaels vs. Justin Credible

.:.:[ Foreword ]:.:. Smackdown! has come and gone... So many things have occurred here in the Pro Wrestling Alliance, you'd think it was open for years! The Undertaker had in impressive showing against Triple H, defeating him in a steel cage match. Then there was The Rock, in an impressive victory over Kurt Angle. And taking place just before the co-main event, The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels defeated Big Poppa Pump in convincing fashion, tuning the band for some Sweet Chin Music, and putting the Genetic Freak down by pin fall. Now we look ahead. We look ahead to Monday Night Raw, where The Heartbreak Kid has yet another opponent, with far more at stake than in his match with Big Poppa Pump. Shawn Michaels will take on Justin Credible in the first round of a thirty-two man tournament for the top prize in the business, the PWA World Title. Shawn Michaels has his eyes set on that prize. He's made it clear that his goal in PWA is to become the undisputed best, and what's the best way to do that, capture the World Title. When HBK is determined. When he's focused... There's not a man alive who can knock him off his game. Don't think so? Dare to doubt The Heartbreak Kid? That's one dumb move ole' HBK wouldn't make! If you do doubt him... He'll just have to beat it into you that...

The Heartbreak Kid is the best damn wrestler in the WORLD!

.:.:[ Scene ]:.:. The scene opens during the main event of a House Show in the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas, backstage, in the showers of the HBK locker room. Field of vision steps through the entrance to the shower. The sound of water hitting the floor with force can be heard, and to a louder extent, so can HBK, singing the tune of "Johnny B. Good". The camera advances further into the showers, until finally getting HBK in the scene. The steam provided by the showers conveniently covers all private parts, as he's scene here, naked, running his fingers through his hair, under the falling water. The camera takes another step, and suddenly, Shawn stops singing. With shampoo in his eyes, he doesn't see a thing, but he has a pretty good guess as to who just walked in...

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. SON OF A BITCH! [ The camera stops dead in it's tracks. ] You'd think you PWA interviews would respect a man's right to privacy at least while he's showering! Do you bother wrestlers while they're on the can? WELL, DO YOU MICHAEL COLE?!

.:.:[ Woman's Voice ]:.:. Uh, Shawn... I'm not Michael Cole.

.:.:[ Scene ]:.:. Shawn quickly turns his head in the direction in which the voice is coming from. Knowing by the sound of the voice, the woman can't be half bad, he puts a smile on his face.

.:.:[ Woman's Voice ]:.:. I'm Pamela Paulshock. I'm a new interviewer around here, and as silly as this may sound, I wanted you to be my first. Interview that is... I'm sorry if I upset you. I just wanted to get this interview going as soon as possible.

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. No need for apologizes, babe. I'm just glad you're not Michael Cole! I'm almost finished here.

.:.:[ Scene ]:.:. Still smiling, knowing he's about to have a good time, Shawn turns off the water in the shower. Pamela, holding the camera on her shoulder, turns away from Shawn, being lady like, and not sneaking a peak at him while he's naked. Shawn wipes the water from his eyes, and looks up to see just who has intruded on his showering. Once he lays eyes on her, he's not disappointed. He whispers to himself, "YES!" while reaching for his towel.

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. I'm sorry, Shawn. Did you say something?

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. Nah, babe. Not a thing.

.:.:[ Scene ]:.:. Shawn wraps the towel around his waist, after using it to dry himself off. He runs his fingers through his hair, pushing it back, then steps out of the mist, and fully in vision. In nothing but a towel, he extends his hand, and says...

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. It's always a pleasure to meet a woman as FINE as you!

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. Well- 

.:.:[ Scene ]:.:. Pamela turns back around, and when she sees Shawn, she gasps a bit in surprise and disbelief. She to herself, "He's even cuter in person! And his body!", as she takes Shawn's hand to shake.

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. Th-, Thank you. [ Shawn turns her hand palm down, this tenderly kisses it. ]

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. Like I said, it's my pleasure. [ Shawn gives one of those winning winks, with a smile. ] 

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. Well, Shawn. Where do you want to do this? [ Shawn grins. ] The interview I mean.

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. Oh, I know what you mean... It's just... [ Shawn bites his bottom lip, and puts on an innocent act. ] It's just I don't feel comfortable doing this interview with you in a towel, while you wear clothes.

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. Then why don't you put on some clothes?

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. [ Shawn chuckles. ] No, no, no, Pamela. Pamela, right? [ She nods her head. ]  I don't have a problem with what I'm wearing... I have a problem with what you're wearing.

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. Ex- Excuse me?

5 Minutes Later

.:.:[ Scene ]:.:. The scene re-opens with Shawn in his towel, and now Pamela in a towel, covering her chest, and lower region. Yeah, I guess that's one way to put it. They're both holding a glass of wine, as they talk with each other on the couch. Pamela's hair is moist, like Shawn's, as if she's just stepped out of the shower. In front of them sits the television. The main event is half way over, as Pamela is laughing, at something Shawn has just said. It's obvious a connection has been made, as we listen in on the conversation...

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. ...and yeah Shawn, I must admit, this was a good idea. I feel sooo refreshed after that shower, and this is really comfortable, sitting here-

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. In a towel!

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. With The Heartbreak Kid!

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. [ They share a laugh. ] Well hey, I wasn't done showerin' anyway. So, whenever, and I mean WHENEVER you need to shower at a PWA event, or ANYTIME, you know who to come to. Oh, and being a perfect gentlemen, I must say, you have an incredible RACK!

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. Oh yeah, Shawn, that was very gentlemen like. [ She laughs a little, and takes a sip of wine. ]

******

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. FREEZE! Uh yeah, this is HBK interrupting your regularly scheduled Heartbreak Kid program to have a little word with those of you enjoying this segment. Now, the true guys out there are saying, "What? You can't say something like that to a woman?!" Well, to you I say, "You can if you're The Heartbreak Kid", or if you're talking to a woman who's involved in the wrestling business. Let me tell you, chicks in the wrestling business are the best chicks to date! You can be so frank with them. You can tell them whatever comes to your mind, and you know, with HBK, and that's a MUST, cause I always say what comes to mind. On another note, this chick is a fox. Really, I'm sitting there on the couch like "DAMN, where have you been all my life!", and I'm sure she's feelin' the same thing times ten for The HB Kid. And now, I return you to entertainment by the one who does it best, The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels... 

******

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. Well Shawn, I came to do my job- To interview you, that is. 

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. Oh, shoot, babe...

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. Your match with Scott Steiner was filled with the usual incredible action that your matches come with. Shawn, it looks like you haven't lost a step. How does it feel?

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. In all honestly, babe, it feels damn good! Not just because I met you shortly after the win, which is a big reason by the way, it feels good because I love being in that ring. Pamela, that's my job, that's my life, and I love everyy minute of it. Being out for those few years KILLED me. I had to come back. I had to make one last run and be remembered as the best ever in this sport. How do I do this? Win the World Title. Just being in the hunt for this title brings back sooo many memories and good feelings. I MUST win it. Winning is what I do best, hands down, no doubt it about. I've been a winner my whole life, and to come back to wrestling and lose my first match was something that I COULD NOT let happen under any circumstances. As far as I'm concerned, there's no room for error in this tournament. I MUST win every damn match that comes my way, because I'm out to prove something. I'm out to prove that I was, and still am the best damn wrestler the sport has ever seen! Losing to Steiner would have put a big dent in my armor. I'll settle for putting one in his. The World Title is coming home to a man who truly needs it. A man who truly deserves it. That man IS The Heartbreak Kid!

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. Shawn, you have been entered into a thiry-two man tournament, as you mentioned, tell me, what are your thoughts on your upcoming opponent, Justin Credible?

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. Justin who? Credible? I'm a reliable man, Pamela. I mean, I'm credible. You can take my word on anything, anything at all. I'm going to tell you right now... Monday Night Raw, I'm going to kick this guy's ass! I can't be anymore honest about this. That's just the way it's gonna be, because The Heartbreak Kid says so! He's just a guy standing in my way to get to that World Title. He means nothing more to me than that. Before I found out about this match, I didn't even care if this joke existed. Now, I do care. His existence is standing, or tryin' to stand in my way from achieving the richest prize in the business. At this point, yeah, his existence means something to me. After I beat him though, I could careless what this turkey does! At that point, I'll have bigger fish to fry, and I'll be that much closer to my ultimate goal. I will dominate this promotion! MARK MY WORDS! And like I said, I'm credible. You can definitely take the word of the Showstoppa, just ask Steiner! 

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. Justin Credible has some back up in Albert and X-Pac. What are your thoughts on this trio called The X-Factor?

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. What about them? I know Tha X-Factor better than they know themselves. The attitude they carry around, like they're big shots around this place was an attitude established by ME! Let's go back for a second. Back to the days I ruled the wrestling world! Back to the days of D-Generation-X! The attitude, the charisma, the antics, IT WAS ALL ME! After I left, Degeneration X thrived, but it was me who gave it life. I breathed life in DX, and everything about it oozes my personality. Tha X-Factor is no different, it's just being done by three guys who have no business carrying the attitude The Heartbreak Kid made cool. Why? While Hunter and I had reason to belief we were the hottest thing in wrestling, because, well, we were, Tha X-Factor is a band of three losers trying to revive something that was laid to rest a long time ago. The other thing is, none of them have accomplished a damn thing. You wanna mouth off about being the best or the coolest? Then prove that you're the best or the coolest! Tha X-Factor hasn't done that YET! To make this short and simple, Tha X-Factor is X-Pac's project to see if he can thrive in the spotlight as the leader, instead of the follower, since he's been a follower his entire career. There's nothing more to it. He's using Credible and Albert, to prove his worth, and they're too damn stupid and mentally weak to realize it or do anything about it. I have no respect for these losers, and their time around here is limited. As a matter of fact, maybe I can do this federation a favor, and put each and every one of these guys on the shelf!

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. What are your thoughts on Credible's victory over Tazz?

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. What? Am I suppose to be impressed. Tazz took more damage from outside interference than Credible himself! My thoughts, babe? [ Shawn laughs. ] It was a waste of time, in my opinion. Who's wants to watch some bald headed idiot take on a midget, with help from his friends? Throughout the match, Credible showed just why he needs the back up from X-Pac and Albert. I can only imagine what Credible is without his buddies. Now, I would ask Credible to keep his buddies away from ringside and fight man one on one like the suits who put this match together intended. But there's two reasons why I wouldn't do that. Number one, it would be a waste of time. You think Credible is going to step into the ring with The Heartbreak Kid without help?! He'd be crazy if he did! he knows that he can't possibly beat ole' HBK on his own, so dammit, he's gonna need his buddies to lend a hand. The other reason is that I like- I LOVE these odds. This will only make the victory all the more sweeter, when, after I pin his ass, I can say, "Yeah, I beat his sorry ass, even with his buddies cheating!". Adversity is one of the things that make The Heartbreak Kid tick. Where Tazz failed, The Heartbreak Kid will succeed. Despite the odds, The Heartbreak Kid is coming to play. He's locked, cocked, and ready to go. You think they're ready? You're never ready for the Heartbreak Kid!

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. Any final, words Shawn?

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. Actually, I'm pretty bored with this topic, Pamela. I don't know, maybe I'm CRAZY, but Justin Credible and his idiot friends just aren't an entertaining subject.

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. I see your point. Well, when can I see you again?

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. Whenever suits you, babe. I'm on twenty four seven, seven days a week! Anytime is a good time for The Heartbreak Kid.

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. That's good to know... 

.:.:[ Scene ]:.:. Pamela leans forward, hesitates... Then kisses Michaels on the cheek, gets up and goes into the restroom. Shawn looks into the camera, with a huge smile on his face. Life is good when you're the Heartbreak Kid. Shawn glances at the television, and sees that the main event is over, and The House Show has ended.

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. Hey, Pamela! Drop me a line, and get in touch with me later. Right now, I have some business to take care of. Take care darlin'!

.:.:[ Pamela Paulshock ]:.:. Alright! Thanks Shawn!

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. Anytime, babe, anytime!

.:.:[ Scene ]:.:. Shawn throws on a white sports coat, with a red shirt, then slides on some underwear, and then black pants. The camera gets shots of no private parts... Perverts! He throws on a hat, grabs a bag, slides into some boots, then exits the room. The scene re-opens at the end of the House Show here in Shawn's hometown, San Antonio, Texas! Fans are on their way out of the building, as the cameras take us ringside to Jim Ross and Shane McMahon. Each of them are beginning to pack up. They're putting away their head gear, their chairs, and other various things while they carry on a conversation.

.:.:[ Jim Ross ]:.:. What an incredible night we just had! Shane, I am very excited about the direction this federation is headed in.

.:.:[ Shane McMahon ]:.:. JR, I have to agree with you. This was an incredible night. And Smackdown! was even better! It leaves the doors open for some top notch entertainment in the future. I just can't wait until I get into the fun! You know, it was one of those nights you just didn't want to end. I was loving every minute of it. From Triple H and The Undertaker's stand off, to the electrifying return of The Heartbreak Kid. I think we really have something here in PWA.

.:.:[ Jim Ross ]:.:. That's right, Shane. It was great to see Shawn Michaels back in the ring. It just goes to show that these wrestlers can truly bounce back from anything. Austin came back from seemingly career ending injuries, and in more impressive fashion, Shawn does the same. A back injury can take a few years off your life, Shane.

.:.:[ Shane McMahon ]:.:. Well, I saw no signs of ring rust in The Heartbreak Kid on Smackdown!, JR!

.:.:[ Scene ]:.:. With those word, those quite familiar drums accompanied with the screams of women are heard throughout the arena. The exiting crowd stops in their tracks and to the rafters, while "Sexy Boy" plays throughout the arena. On Smackdown!, Shawn made his entrance from the rafters, but this time, HBK takes the normal way to ring, stepping from behind the curtain and saluting the crowd, down on one knee with his hands in the air. He's wearing a white sports coat, with a black Spurs hat, and black jeans, with a red shirt. The crowd begins to make their way back to the seats, screaming as they do it, for The Heartbreak Kid. Jim Ross and Shane are setting up shop once again, with enthusiasm for in the anticipation of hearing what Shawn has to say. Shawn makes his way in usual fashion, dancing and playing to the crowd with a smile on his face, loving every minute of it. Shawn dances down the ring, until making it to the ring. He hops up on the apron, and swings his hips while grasping the ropes. He then steps through the ropes, and begins to twirl in circles in the ring, as the lights dim, with 'HBK' spotlights on the ring. After spinning with his arms out, and finds his place in the center of the ring, and poses for the crowd. Not flexing, obviously because with a sports coat on, there's no muscle to show. Pyro shoots to the rafters behind him, and the fans are still loving every minute of it! Shortly after this, the lights are restored. Shawn grabs the microphone, looks to the crowd and says... 

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. NOW CUT MY MUSIC!!

.:.:[ Jim Ross ]:.:. This should be interesting, Shane. Shawn should have a lot to say in regards to his recent match with Scott Steiner, his upcoming match on Raw, against Credible, and maybe even the tournament for the World Title.

.:.:[ Shane McMahon ]:.:. Interesting equals boring, JR! It's HBK! You must mean this is going to be ENTERTAINING!

.:.:[ Scene ]:.:. The music comes to a stop, and so crowd noise volume is lowered. All are anticipation for what Shawn has to say.

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. I'm feeling the love from the Kliq tonight! It's a feeling I never get tired of. Now I don't mean you hold you all up, but... It shouldn't be a problem, am I right?! [ The crowd responds with a "Yeah!", which puts a smile on Shawn's face. ] I mean, a show just isn't a show without The Heartbreak Kid, am I right?! [ The crowd gives the same response. ] And what a show he put on! Earlier this week, I told you. All of you. I told Michael Cole. I told anybody who wanted to listen while taking a trip around the block to the store, and guess what... I TOLD STEINER! ...That The Heartbreak Kid was gonna walk into Smackdown! with the band tuned, then play a little "Sweet Chin Music" for Big Poppa Pump, all the way to my first victory in this place. Now you know you can count on the Showstoppa to come through for ya'! [ The crowd gives a cheer. ] You know, me just standing in this ring talkin' about it isn't enough. Yo, Vinny Mac! Get your boys to roll that footage of HBK putting his foot in Steiner's mouth!

.:.:[ Scene ]:.:. Shawn looks over to the Titan Tron, as is shows the footage of Shawn picking up Steiner. Steiner stands before him a little wobby, as MICHAELS IS SETTING UP FOR THE SWEET CHIN MUSIC. Steiner turns around, SWEET CHIN MUSIC ON STEINER. Shawn goes for the pin 1..2..3!!

.:.:[ Shane McMahon ]:.:. The Heartbreak Kid makes it look EASY, JR!

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. You can NEVER get tired of hearing the sound of my boot smackin' hard against the side of somebody's FACE! And I can't wait to feel it AGAIN! When do I get my chance? Monday Night Raw... And who's the lucky guy who gonna dance to Sweet Chin Music on Raw?! You guessed it, Justin Credible! Credible, you just DON'T KNOW! You don't know how excited I am about our match up, and how I can't wait... How I just can't wait to KICK YOUR ASS! [ Crowds cheers. Shawn pauses for a second, then continues. ] Don't walk into this match thinking you have a chance to win it, 'cause the truth is, YOU DON'T! Credible, when I hit that ring, it all begins, or maybe I should say, it all returns. The screaming fans, the sweat of a nervous opponent striking the canvas as he looks over at me from the other side of the ring, and Shawn Michaels pleasing the crowd as only he can to best. The adrenaline rush that I get from that returns. That right foot gets a tappin' just waiting to be smashed into a jaw. Guess who's jaw it's gunnin' for Credible. Yeah, baby! It's comin' for yours! And after it's all said and done, and feed the crowd a little of that swagger that makes me the Sexy Boy, you'll lay there, forgotten by me, 'cause after I beat you to advance, you mean nothing to me. You'll lay there, look up at the rafters. [ Shawn points to the ceiling with a smile. ] And you'll be in a lose-win situation. The loss comes from the fact that you've just been drilled with a Superkick, and lost the match, but the win comes from the fact that after it's all over, you'll be able to say, "I lost... But I lost to the best wrestling has to offer, Shawn Michaels." You'll have nothing to hang your head about. Really, you're going into this match knowing you're going to lose, so it shouldn't be a surprise. Be proud of the effort, put some ice on the jaw, and good luck on your career in the PWA. Hey, when I go on and do exactly what I'm telling you I'm going to do and win the World Title, don't hesitate tell ALL your friends that Shawn is great and all, but you were the one who began it all for him. They'll love to hear the story of how HBK told you he was going to beat you, how he beat you, then went on to take his place in the federation as the best ever. 

.:.:[ Shane McMahon ]:.:. Shawn Michaels doesn't sugar coat a thang!

.:.:[ Jim Ross ]:.:. What?

.:.:[ Scene ]:.:. Shawn takes off his hat, then tosses it into the crowd and continues...

.:.:[ Shawn Michaels ]:.:. Credible, you've been awfully quiet, boy! Maybe you're finally starting to GET IT! Maybe you're finally starting to understand that The Heartbreak Kid does not play around, and that when he says he's going to do something, HE DOES IT! If that's the case Credible, you're the smartest man I've ever faced. There hasn't been another opponent through my whole career who would just back down. No, no, they had an ego. They wanted to TEST me. Well, each and everyone of them have heard the tune of Sweet Chin Music to show them what happens to those who want to test me. I tell 'em before we start, just like I've told you, Credible. "I'm going to beat you. I'm going to kick your ass!" They don't believe me, so they just make it unnecessarily harder for themselves. You see, you're special Credible. You're gonna take my word for it, and that's great, but while their dumb for even tryin'... You're a coward for BACKING DOWN! Your silence tells me you're already beat. You don't know what to do. You and your buddies are panicking, knowing that The Heartbreak Kid is coming to town, and he's gonna be taking names and kicking ass, up and down the good ole' state of Texas! [ The crowd cheers. Shawn throws his arms in the air, and twirls around. Then continues. ] Credible, you're nothing but a little punk, who's mouth has got him in over his head. You've talked the talked, walking around with your friends like you own the place, but now it's time to walk the walk, and you're tucking your tail between your legs and high tailin' it to safe ground. There's only one problem in your attempt to duck ole' HBK, and that's, this ain't an after-school fight in the playground, where you can sneak through the back of the school to get out of the fight. No. You can't run. You can't hide. You WILL step into that ring with The Heartbreak Kid, and you WILL lose! You can take that to the bank, 'cause the Showstoppa doesn't lie. The Main Event would never tell ya' a fib. And the Icon of Sports Entertainment doesn't beat around the bush... HE BEATS YOUR ASS! But before he does, he'll tell you when, where, why, and how he's going to kick your sorry ass, Credible, and you can bet your ass, he'll live up to his word on every bit of it! You know what, it's simply the inevitable, Credible. Come Monday...

The Heartbreak Kid is gonna DANCE ALL OVER YOUR FACE!

NOW HIT MY MUSIC!!!

.:.:[ Scene ]:.:. "Sexy Boy" promptly hits the speakers. Shawn takes off his sports coat, and the women are screaming already. then takes off his red shirt, and begins posing in the ring shirtless. The women go wild for this display. Shawn Michaels dances a little more, while the crowd cheers as many of them head for the exits. Shawn walks up the ramp, and once on stage, he waves back to the crowd, then disappears behind the curtain. The scene fades.
