Shawn Michaels: Shawn Michaels

Quotes 

• Shawn Michaels : As much as I'm sure everyone was looking forward to the coronation of our brand-new King of the Ring, Mr. Kurt Angle...

  [the crowd jeers] 

  Shawn Michaels : I'm afraid old HBK has got a little business to take care of first. Now, as the official spokesperson of the World Wrestling Federation, it is my duty to inform you that I, in fact, do have a major announcement to make here tonight.

  [the crowd cheers] 

  Shawn Michaels : And it involves the #1 contender for the World Wrestling Federation championship.

  [Triple H's music hits, and he joins Shawn in the ring] 

  Triple H : You know, Shawn, you and I have been friends for a long time, pal. Outside of this crazy world, right? Always been tight. Thick and thin, man. That's why I know it pains you...

  [the crowd begins an "asshole" chant] 

  Triple H : That's why, Shawn, I know it pains you to see what happened to me last night, to see me get screwed. To see me get royally screwed. Imagine how that makes me feel, Shawn. Imagine what it feels like to me. I stand here today in front of the world no longer the World Wrestling Federation champion.

  [the crowd cheers] 

  Triple H : But the fact of the matter is, I was never beaten. Shawn, last night at King of the Ring, I never lost, but yet every single place I have gone today, every person has stuck their grubby little finger in my chest and said, "Loser!" You know what that feels like to me, Shawn? It's like a cancer. It's like a cancer inside my stomach, eating me from the inside out. It's burning a hole in me, Shawn. And I know you know that, and I know that's why you're out here to make your special announcement. And your special announcement is gonna be that I am the #1 contender for the World Wrestling Federation championship which I never lost. And, Shawn, when you're done with your special announcement, then I'm gonna make my special announcement, and that is that the Rock's days as World Wrestling Federation champion are numbered.

  Shawn Michaels : Hunter, Triple H, you're right. I can't argue with anything that you said. You are right. But there's only one small, *small*, problem. As you know, a number of weeks ago, I resigned as commissioner of the World Wrestling Federation. I can no longer make those decisions. And you know, if I could, I would make you the #1 contender in a heartbeat. You are my best friend, you know I would go to the ends of the earth for you. But these are decisions that I can no longer make. But, what I can do is introduce to you, and everyone else here tonight, the man who can make those decisions. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce to you the new commissioner of the World Wrestling Federation, MICK FOLEY!
