*Fans boo*

Todd Grisham: Well, my question here is what brought you in to the match? I mean, obviously it was just all out of the random...
Chris Jericho: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Stop. Did you just say me being put in to the match was all at random?
Todd Grisham: Well. All the matches were...
Chris Jericho: Except for me being put in to the fatal four way match, TODD! Let me break it down like this for you, four eyes. I'm the best wrestler TNW has. People can argue that TNW has Kurt Angle, Booker T, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Edge, John Cena, Randy Orton, but guess what. I'm better! I'm in my prime. Shawn Michaels is way out of his prime. The Undertaker is out of his prime as well. He's not the same wrestler he was in WWF. He's old and soggy like bread put in to water. Booker T? C'mon. He was never good. Kurt Angle is OK, but he's not to the level I am at. Edge, John Cena, Randy Orton? What do you want me to say about them? I'm just plain better without a shadow of a doubt which is why tonight, I am winning the TNW Championship. And there is nothing, and I mean nothing that you can do about it, Todd. There is nothing Christian Cage can do about it. And there sure as hell is nothing that Kurt Angle can do about it. And once I win the TNW Championship, and I become the first ever TNW Champion in history, TNW will never, EVER.... be the same... AGAIN!
Chris Jericho walks off the scene as the fans boo.

Shawn Michaels Interview
Todd Grisham: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Todd Grisham and my guest at this time is the showstopper, Shawn Michaels! Shawn Michaels, tonight you have the chance to become the first ever TNW Champion, thoughts?
Shawn Michaels: You know, Todd, there's this saying that no matter who you are, no matter how old you are, you can still be the best guy there is and that's what I'm going to be tonight. I'm 42 years old but I feel no older than a 27 year old! Tonight, I walk in to that ring with the TNW Championship being vacant, and when the dust is all set and clear, I will walk out as TNW Champion. No one will stand in my way. Not Kurt Angle. Not Christian Cage. And definitely not Chris Jericho.
Todd Grisham: Shawn, earlier tonight and repeatedly over TNW.com Chris Jericho has trashed you about your age and how you're nothing but an old piece of trash. What are your thoughts on that?
Shawn Michaels: You know, Todd, Chris Jericho is a difficult guy to understand one minute he's your friend the next minute he's low blowing you, just like at WrestleMania 19 in WWE. But listen, Jericho, I hope you're watching this and if you are I want you to open your ears real good and listen to this. You can trash me about my age all you want. You can call me an old piece of trash but there is nothing you can take away from me and that's all the accomplishments I have gotten in my career. Listen, Jericho. You need to pull your head out of your ass. You know that you wouldn't be here if it weren't for me and don't be afraid to admit it because you know it's true. I'm the showstopper, Jericho, the heartbreak kid! You wish you can be like me. And tonight, you'll be the one down on the mat with both his shoulder down as I pin you 1...2...3 to make the "old piece of trash" become the first ever TNW Champion. Get ready, Jericho.
