|8-X-7| As the scene fades in we see Shane McMahon make the announcement about the next show for the nwa and just then we see a video clip of the opening itself and we see Shawn Michaels is in complete shock at seeing Mick Foley back. Just then our cameras head inside the arena and we see Shawn Michaels has entered the Arena for this ece pre-show event and as he enters the arena he is demanding some interview time to tell Shane and Vince and the entire world just how he feels about what he experienced in the ece! Just then we head down to ringside and join Michael Cole and Tazz as they are set to call the action!:::::

Michael Cole:Hello nwa fans and welcome to San Diego California and this is our 1st ece pre-show. I am Michael Cole and along side me is my broadcast partner Tazz and Tazz what a night Smackdown is shaping up to be as Shane McMahon and Vince McMahon plan to kick off ece with a bang and what a Main Event!

Tazz:Right you are Cole and this Main Event is a real rocket busta a tag man match with Evolution and Money Inc. As we all know Cole these guys are no strangers to each other and as we have seen in the past few years some just flat out hate each others guts like Triple H and Kurt Angle so that should make for a real brutal contest tonight on Smackdown.

Michael Cole:Right you are Tazz. Now we do have Shawn Michaels scheduled to come out here in just a little bit to address the fans here as it pertains to his match coming up tonight but I understand Shawn is backstage right now and he has a few things he wants to say as it reguards to his Match so we are gonna get a camera back there right now and get a few words with HBK himself!

:::::Just then our cameras head backstage and we see Shawn Michaels at the interview position and as we can tell by the look on his face he does have a few things he needs to get off his chest here in the early going of this ece pre-show!:::::

Shawn Michaels:Hey M.C and Tazz! Now I know I do have a few minutes booked later on to come out there and address the people as it pertains to my match tonight against The Rock but I wanted to get a few things off my chest as it pertained to the ECE in General. Now first off I can not for the life of me figure out how a man of my talents and what I have done in this business gets put in match with a Hollywood Reject like The Rock but that is water under the bridge myself and Shane and Vince have worked together before and for the sake of ece we are gonna work together again. Now as it pertains to Mr.McMahon! Shane I know you are watching me right now and you know as well as I do your dad screwed over Shawn Michaels and anyone who knows me knows full well that You will live to regret that decision should you take after your father! You see Shawn Michaels and WWE have always gone hand in hand you can not have one with out the other and I was SCREWED in the WWE by Vince but make no mistake about it Shane I will do what HBK does better then anyone and that is make Vince's life as he knows it a living hell!

:::::Just then Shawn Michaels walks off as the crowd chants HBK and ECE! At that very moment our cameras zoom in on the ringside area and Michael Cole and Tazz!:::::

Michael Cole:Well Tazz those were the comments of what seems to be a very determined and might I add pissed off Shawn Michaels. Now Tazz you know he is going to make a example out of his first opponent and that unlucky person just happens to be The Rock!

Tazz:That may be the case Cole but let's not forget HBK has been out of the ring for a long time and after all he is facing The GreatOne! Now I have been in the ring with The Rock and I'm gonna tell you he don't scare easily and he backs down from absolutly no body! In my opinion whoever wins this match will very well end up when it is all said and done the ECE World Heavyweight Champion. These are the very best in this business and only fitting they will butt heads on the greatest wrestling program going.....ECE!:::::

Michael Cole:Well said Tazz and I totally agree this is gonna be a unbelievable match coming up tonight right here. We also have the other Matches but we will talk about those matches and all the others later on right now let's head up to the ring.

:::::Just then we head up to the ring and as the fans are waiting in anticipation to see who will come out first to kick off this historic evening we then hear the music of HBK and just then the crowd erupts to their feet and as they do that we see the HBK Shawn Michaels out on the ramp!:::::

:::::Shawn Michaels makes his way out on the stage and as he does he stops and looks out at all the nWa fans as they are chanting HBK and we even see a sign that reads....."There Is A God! HBK Is In ECE!" and Shawn sees the sign and smiles and points to it and he makes his way down the ramp and he high fives all the female fans he passes as they scream for him and just then Shawn gets up on the apron and shakes his butt for them as they go wild!:::::

:::::Shawn looks out to the crowd once again and then he climbs in the ring and walks over to the ECE ring announcer and grabs the mic and just then as the crowd is still going wild Shawn makes his way out to the center of the ECe ring he is about to speak!:::::

HBK:Well look who ended up on NWA Television! None other then The Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels now that is good for all you fans but very bad for NWA as well as the Rock who I will be taking on in about a few days time on the very first NWA Smackdown. Now Its Plain to see that Ol HBK isnt as agile as he used to be.But i'm STILL More Agile than Half if not every Superstar in the NWA..Ya got The Game..Triple H..He and I USED to be Best Friends but its time Triple H realized who the Showstoppa really is.Then ya got STONECOLD Steve Austin..The Man who temporarily Ended My Career Five Years Ago!Then ya got Chris Jericho whom I DEFEATED at Wrestlemania 19!And You've Also got The Hollywood Reject The Rock!All these Superstars are top notch but none of them Can Headline Main Events or Sellout Tickets Quite like the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels..Nobody!Next to Hulk Hogan I may be the Single Biggest Draw in Professional Wrestling History..I've done it all..Been WWE Champion..WWE grandslam Champion,the First one by the way and did it Three Years Before Triple H even came close!WWE Commissioner..THE Founding Father of Degeneration X..Everyone says HBK and Triple H are the founding fathers of DX..What a load of crap..Shawn Michaels discovered Degeneration X while Triple H was still wrestling as Hunter Hearst Helmsly and getting his asskicked by Goldust and Marc Mero!I made DX famous,Triple H just came along for the ride!

:::::Just then the crowd starts chanting HBK once again and Shawn stops for a moment to listen to the chants and then he starts talking about what everyone has to look forward to on smackdown!:::::

HBK:The Rock is a Great Athlete but face it rocky..Compared to Shawn Michaels?Well..You just do not Measure Up...The Heartbreak Kid Was and Always Will BE the Showstoppa..And People like Triple H,The Rock,Steve Austin,and Chris Jericho will always be fighting for #2!I was the #1 Superstar in WWE..And Austin?Dont think i've forgotten about Wrestlemania 14 when you put Shawn Michaels out of action...I watched Raw the nextnight and saw Triple H's Speech about How I "dropped the ball"and that he was taking over DX..Well face it Hunter..DX NEVER had the Attitude it did When Shawn Michaels was there.But Austin Forced Me to Abandon DX..Austin Finished what the Undertaker Started by dropping me on that casket..I didnt Forget..At Wrestlemania 14 I did what I had to do and lost what I Had to have..But now i'm here to reclaim it..To RECLAIM the World Championship!

:::::The crowd starts chanting for HBK once again and Shawn is getting all fired up and he takes off his shirt and hat and it seems he has a few parting words for his opponets!:::::

HBK:The Rock is a former World Heavyweight Champion but he does NOT Measure Up to HBK..People like Austin who Contributed to My career ending early,The Rock,Chris Jericho,and everyoneelse take a lesson from Triple H..Dont HUNT What You Can't Kill!Ya See..A Man is a Man when he can look the other person in the Eye and say "WAtchout!Cause I'm Comin..To Fight!"..So Rock..Incase you're unfamiliar with the Whole Man Thing it goes a little somethin like this..Watchout!Cause I'm Comin..To Fight.The Icon,The Shoooowstoppa,The Headliner,The Mainevent,Returns monday and Hes Comin to Fight..And as the Old Saying Goes..If You Aint Down With That I Got TWO Words For Ya....Suck It!

:::::Just then Shawn drops the mic as the theme for The Heartbreak Kid hits on the PA system and as Shawn dances for the fans and puts his shirt and hat back on we head down to Michael Cole and Tazz to get their thoughts about what they have just heard!:::::

Michael Cole:Well Tazz I knew Shawn was ready for his return match on smackdown but I had no idea he was this intense. I really hope the Rock realizes what hes in for tonight live!

Tazz:Well Cole I really thought going into tonight that The Rock would be ready but after hearing what we just heard from HBK I do not see how anyone can possibly be ready for that! What a match and what a night it is gonna be Cole a real rocket busta!

:::::Just then we see Shawn Michaels leaving the ring as his music is still playing and the scene fades to black!

The scene fades away………
