.:.:{ He has sat back, and watch the world of wrestling thrive without his presence. He has watched as the standard for a talented and successful wrestler has lowered considerably, by the likes of those who now occupy the throne as the top wrestlers in the business, namely, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and of course, Hunter Hearst Hemsley. The very thought of it makes him sick to his stomach, and this is a sickness he no longer cares to bare. This is why he has returned to the sport he made. The sport that is only a shell of it's true potential without him. The sport that he dominated for years, and throughout that time was recognized as the most resilient, the most flamboyant, the most charismatic, and by many, the best all-around wrestler in the history of sports entertainment. He knows how significant his presence can be. He knows how many praise him upon the very mentioning of his name. Yes, in his time, he was indeed that good. His era came and left prematurely in his view, and in the view of his fans. He believes he has more fuel left in the tank. Actually, he believes he'll return and be far better than he was before. These are strong words coming from a man who raised the standard in his career in wrestling. Only time will tell if The Heartbreak Kid, The Showstoppa, The Main Event, The Icon of Sports Entertainment, has anything left. History has taught us that we should never doubt The Heartbreak Shawn Michaels. Dare to doubt him now? }:.:.

That's one mistake The Heartbreak Kid wouldn't MAKE!

.:.:{  The scene opens on a desolate interstate highway on the outskirts of San Antonio. The view of the Texas countryside and the highway is captured from the side of the road. In the background, the sound of a speeding vehicle can be heard, and that sound is growing louder and louder, nearer and nearer, by the second, until a motorcycle goes speeding by the camera's view. The camera then fixes on the speeding motorcycle as it rounds the curve in the highway, and hits the straightaway. The cycles rider cannot be identified because the motorcycle sped by far too quickly. The sound of a larger vehicle can be heard from behind the camera. This sound, too, closes in closer and closer, until it too goes speeding by. Outside the window of the front passenger side of the car is an overweight guy with a camera on his shoulder. The car seems to be chasing the motorcycle. Our scene shifts back to the motorcycle. We are now face up with the motorcycle, and more importantly, it's rider... 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels. Shawn, seen here with sunglasses on, no shirt, with his trademark necklace, and his long blonde hair flowing in the wind, runs his hand through his hair, then looks back at the trailing car. He now looks forward, shaking his head in disbelief, and accelerating, saying... }:.:.  

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. Give me a break! These guys will do ANYTHING to get a word with The Heartbreak Kid!

.:.:{  Shawn speeds past the camera down the highway, as the car comes quickly behind. The scene now shifts to the backseat of the car. In the view, we see the fat cameraman dangerously hanging out of the passenger side window of the car, with the camera on his shoulder, and his crack hanging out of his jeans. The guy driving is a familiar face on the World Wrestling Alliance staff and that would be Jonathan Coachman. }:.:.  

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. My God, Shawn drives like a maniac! What's so bad about an interview anyway?

.:.:{  Coachman turns to the cameraman, only to find an ass directly in his face. He cringes, and turns his attention back to the road, saying... }:.:. 

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. Goodness, Mike, pull up your pants!

.:.:{  Our scene shifts back to Shawn, who gets a glimpse of a gas station just up ahead. He accelerates even faster, as Coachman follows suit. We're forwarded to Shawn speeding into the parking lot of the gas station. The sun is beaming from directly above on this humid day in Texas. Shawn puts on the brakes, kicks out the kick stand, and turns off the engine, as Coachman drives recklessly into the parking lot as well, kicking up dust on his abrupt stop. }:.:. 

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. Well, well, well... I must say I am a little surprised, boys. You've never chased me down in a car just to get an interview before. Come on, is The HB Kid THAT good?!

.:.:{  Shawn steps off the cycle, with his sunglasses still on. Shawn is also wearing blue jeans, with a pair of boots, but no shirt. He runs his fingers through his hair, and takes a step in the direction of the car. At the same time, Coachman and the cameraman, step out of the car, and walk over to The Heartbreak Kid. }:.:. 

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels...

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. That's the name, Coach. How ya' been?

.:.:{  Shawn shakes Coachman's hand.  }:.:.

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. I'm doing great, Shawn, how about yourself?

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. DAMN good, Coach! I definitely can't complain, let me tell ya'. I'm about to step back into the squared circle for the first time in quite a while, and let me be perfectly honest with ya', I'm locked, cocked, and ready to go! I- { Shawn stops in mid thought, and takes a look at the cameraman. } Uh... Was this the guy hanging out of the passenger side window, Coach? { Both of them nod. Shawn turns to the cameraman. } Hey, now it's no secret that ole' HBK isn't a rocket scientist, but I do know that sticking a fat ass like this guy out of the window with a camera, ain't too smart of a move!

.:{ 'The Fat Ass' Cameraman }:. Hey, dude, cut me some slack, alright?

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. Yeah, as soon as you cut off some weight, big boy. { Shawn turns to Coach. } So I take it ole' Vinny Mac sent ya' to get a word from the kid.

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. Yeah, Shawn, actually he did, Shawn.

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. I betcha jumped right off your ass and came to find me as soon as he told you, right?

.:.:{  Coachman nods reluctantly.  }:.:.

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. Look, Coach, don't worry about Vinny. If you don't feel like doing what he says, then, by all means, do what YOU wanna do.

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. That's easy for you to say, Shawn. Well, you're Shawn Michaels.

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. I'm glad you said that, because you know what, you're right! I'm The Heartbreak Kid. What's hard for one man, is no sweat for the Kid. Hell, what seems impossible to one man, and definitely possible for The Headliner. Coach, you're smarter than you look. I mean, let's be perfectly honest here, if you EVER in your life to play games with Vinny Mac, you're ass if FIRED! But when you got as much clout as the The Heartbreak Kid, well, you do what you wanna do, when you wanna do it. So you keep your nose right there in the crack of the Vin Man's ass, alright?

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. Yes, I'll try and remember that. Shawn, are you implying that you're planning to rebel against Mr. McMahon. The same Mr. McMahon who just put you back in the mainstream of sports entertainment. The same-

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. Stop right there, Coach. Did you just say McMahon put me back in the mainstream of sports entertainment?

.:.:{  Shawn leans into Coachman's face. Coachman looks in all other directions other than Shawn's eyes, but Shawn moves his head accordingly, keeping his eyes locked onto Coachman's. }:.:.

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. That is what you said, right? { Before Coachman can answer, Shawn says. } I AM the mainstream of sports entertainment, BOY! You think Vinny brought me back in the business? If that's the case, Coachman, you couldn't be more WRONG! There's not a man in this business who can do it like I can, and The Vin Man knows it! You think McMahon gave me a break? Get real! As soon as I called up and told Vinny I was ready to go, he did WHATEVER he could to sign me right there on the spot, without any question or hesitation. Why? It's simple. Vince McMahon knows EXACTLY what The Heartbreak Kid means to the wrestling business. He KNOWS what's gonna happen as soon as I lace up the boots, and step into the ring. He KNOWS how valuable I am to have, Coach. So to sum it all up, me being The Heartbreak Kid is what's gotten me back in the wrestling business. Not a favor from The Vin Man, 'cause believe me, he needs me, more than I need him.  

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. Well, you definitely cleared that up, Shawn, but I'd like to know if you are in fact planning to rebel against Mr. McMahon

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. Coach, I answer to NO ONE. Like I said before, I do what I wanna do, when I wanna do it. As long as Vinny is okay with that, we're not going to have any problems, now are we Coachman?

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. Well, I-

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. But if Vince wants to get greedy with all that power he has, which is something he's definitely known to do, and decides to stick that long nose of his into MY business, well, let me tell ya', we're goin' right back to the old days, and that spells trouble for The Vin Man. Now if you boys will excuse me, I'm a little thirsty...

.:.:{  Shawn tips his sunglasses to The Coach and The Cameraman, and walks toward the convenient store. Coachman and the fat ass cameraman follow suit, Coachman speeds up just a little bit, and walks alongside Shawn. The cameraman swings around the both of them to get a shot of them from the front, walking toward the store. }:.:.

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. Moving pretty quick there, fat boy! 

.:.:{  Shawn laughs, as the cameraman just shakes his head, simply taking the insult. }:.:.

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. Well, Shawn, just out of curiosity, what are you doing way out here? And furthermore, driving a motorcycle? Is this a change of attitude for 'The Showstoppa'? 

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. Listen, Coach, this is no attitude change for 'The Showstoppa'. This is just ole' HBK goin' for a joy ride on his bike, enjoying this good ole' Texas weather, and TRYING to get away from annoying little nimrods like YOU! 

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. { Coachman clears his throat after the minor insult. } Oh, well... I see.

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. Coachman, these questions are pretty lame. You're wasting my time, so why don't you get lost, alright?

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. Well, Shawn-

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. "Well, Shawn" NOTHING! Get lost! I mean, you're asking me what I'm doing out here, why I'm riding a 'cycle- I mean, come on, Coach, are you interviewing me, or are you investigating a crime?! 

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. Alright Shawn, how about this one. 

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. I'm listening...

.:{ 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman }:. Shawn, you're about to make a comeback, not in a non-wrestling capacity, but to actually wrestle once again! Not only is your first match with Booker T noteworthy because it's your first match in quite sometime, but this match is also one of four World Title Tournament matches taking place on 

.:.:{  Says Coachman as quick as possible to get what he has to say out before Shawn interrupts. Shawn smiles, and then says... }:.:.

.:{ 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels }:. NOW you're talkin', Coach!
