WWF Superstars, Apr. 12, 1997

The Giant wraps a bit paw around Michaels neck in the dark... CHOKE SLAM!! The impact is heard around the arena... and EVERYONE knows what caused THAT! The Giant slams punches into Shawn's face... then moments later... the lights come back up....

AND THE GIANT IS ABOUT TO TOMBSTONE SHAWN.... HE DOES!!!

JR: THE TOMBSTONE!!! THE POWERS OF THE DARKSIDE!! THE GIANT TOOK THEM FROM THE UNDERTAKER!!!

The Giant pulls up the Boy Toy by the hair and throws him to the ropes... CLOTHESLINE!!! Michaels is nearly taken out of his boots! He's knocked back into the ropes and toward the Giant once more... POWERSLAM!!!

JR: 500 POUNDS JUST LANDED ON THE HEARBREAK KID!!!

Sarah: He was jumped before the bell!!!

The Giant COVERS!!! The ref counts... 1... kickout! The Giant pulls up Shawn again and takes him toward the ropes. Shawn kicks down at the leg that Diesel injured at WrestleMania, and that stops the Giant's momentum for a moment. Shawn drops down and scissors the Giant's legs... DROP TOE HOLD!! HE TAKES THE GIANT DOWN!!!

JR: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!

Michaels pops up and starts stomping on the Giant's hurt knee over and over again. As this is happening, the Imperial Machine is moving around on the outside towards the Sensei and Diesel.

The Giant sucks up the pain and pulls himself to his feet. He grabs Michaels and THROWS him out of the ring OVER THE TOP ROPE!!! As he does this, his leg seems to give out and he drops down to one knee.

The Machine charges in at Diesel... and DROPKICKS THE WORLD CHAMPION DOWN TO THE MAT!!!! The Sensei brings up his fighting staff in defense.

Giant: Ref... my LEG! I think I injured it!

As the ref checks on the Giant... TAYLOR REACTS! He knocks Michaels over the head with the laptop computer, then pushes him into the ring. The black-clad bodyguard runs around... and HE gets clocked with the computer also!

The Sensei swings around his staff and knocks the Machine over the head, forcing him halfway across ringside! The fans cheer the Sensei!

In the ring, the Giant seems alright now, brushing past the referee as Shawn enters the ring. He hooks his head and neck and also one arm behind his back.... SIDEMARE HEADLOCK TAKEDOWN!!!

JR: THAT'S ANDRE'S OLD MOVE!!! HE GOT HIM!!!

The Giant COVERS Shawn! Taylor reaches into the ring and holds down one of Michaels' legs. The ref counts... 1... 2....
