Coach: I am standing here with the World Heavyweight Champion HBK Shawn Michaels and the 5 Time WCW Champion Booker T. Gentlemen; last week you showed everyone that you guys can work as a team against your opponents at Bad Blood, Triple H and Randy Orton. Some might say that you just lit a fire under Evolution and tonight Shawn you are going up against Booker T’s opponent Randy Orton one on one, what are your thoughts going into this match?
HBK: Well Coach, I am going to put it to you like this, I have this, the World title around my shoulder, it’s all shiny and cool, yea, but, oh oh, this is known for a little something I like to call courage, strength, endurance, and most of all heart, and Coach, I ask you, who has more “heart” than the “heart” break kid? That’s right! No one. Now, as far as Mr. Legend Killer goes tonight, I am not guaranteeing victory, that’s a curse that stands the test of time, what I am guaranteeing is the fight of your life, well, to be honest, the second worst fight of your life, because let’s all remember boys and girls, he is, after all, stepping into the ring at Bad Blood, against the man who will be cornering me tonight, Booker T!
Booker: That’s right. Randy Orton’s punk ass is playing double duty, not only does he have to face the 5 Time WCW World’s Champion Booker T in 2 weeks at Bad Blood, that sucka has to go up against the current World Champ, HBK Shawn Michaels.

The Game is going to regain what I lost at the 3 Hour Spectacular, Shawn, savor these days, because they are the last days you will ever be holding that championship again, because Michaels, at Bad Blood, don’t think I am not aiming to cripple your ass! However, that’s another time, another place, it’s not why I came out here tonight. I just came out here to give you a little piece of information Shawn, I just got off the phone with Ric Flair, yes, the same man you almost destroyed in the Fatal Four Way at the 3 Hour Spectacular, Nay-tch could barely speak, but I heard what I needed to hear, he said right here next week, he will be LIVE via satellite, he said he needs to get something off of his chest, so Michaels, you can ponder your little nature boy lovin’ ass on that one jack, hope you are here next week, because everyone has got to face the truth some time or another…
JR: Gee King, Ric Flair speaks next week? What could the Game mean by this?
