vs.
Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels
w/Sarah D, Sensei, Diesel & the Bodyguard

The Match:
The camera comes to the ring, where Lucifer Graves, Mean Mark Manson and Maxx Payne are at. The Road Warriors watch them... but take no action. They have ready their iron nightsticks.

The Bad Guy is introduced first. He comes to the ring along with five masked men. The LOD keeps a close eye on them as they pass. Hawk says something to Shadow, who nods back.

The Bad Guy gets into the ring, and Mean Mark Manson walks up to him and stares at him with disdain and intense hatred. Finally, he steps back and gives Razor the sign of the devil.

The Freakshow get into a neutral corner outside the ring. The Road Warriors move over to them and motion for them to get out. The Freakshow stays. The Road Warriors ask again... but the Freakshow stays. Hawk and Animal stand in front of them, blocking any further entrances to the ring.

Shawn Michaels's music comes through the speakers, as the Heartbreak Kid walks out into the arena, flanked by the Bodyguard and Sensei, and with Sarah D and Diesel looming behind! Shawn runs down to the ring, followed by the rest of the crew, and jumps in while everyone else takes position in a corner. He poses for the crowd for a few moments, then waits for the match to begin.

The bell sounds. Shawn circles in and ties up with Razor. Ramon quickly scoops him up... and SLAMS him down! Ramon then boots Michaels in the stomach, and Shawn sits up in pain. Razor pulls him up further and chops him across the face.

Shawn is spun around from the impact, and Razor hoists him up across his chest... FALLAWAY SLAM!!! The Sensei yells in instructions to Shawn, but Razor is all over him! He stomps him in the breadbasket... then yanks him up by the throat...

CHOKE SLAM!!! Michaels spins along his side, holding his back. Razor pulls him back up... and SLAMS him into the center of the ring again!

JR: Razor looks in fine form tonight! I'm sure he's upset about that quick defeat he took at the hands of Sting!

Shawn pulls him self up to his feet... and Razor grabs his arm, pulling him in.... Shawn puts on the breaks and turns his arm around to put Razor in an ARMWRINGER! Shawn twists around... and KNEES Razor in the back.

The Bad Guy spins out of the armwringer... grabs Shawn by the throat... CHOKE SLAM!!

JR: FINE FORM!!! WHAT A MOVE!

Razor grabs both of Shawn's legs... and turns him over... and sits back with a Boston Crab!!! Razor puts more and more pressure on Shawn's back and mid-section, the focus of his attack. The referee gets into position to see is Shawn submits..... and...

He DOESN'T! Razor lets the Boston Crab go and drops down on top of Shawn's back.... CAMEL CLUTCH!! Shawn yells out! The Sensei moves around so that Shawn can see him... and yells instructions. The Freakshow continue to watch the match, with the Road Warriors standing in front of them.

Razor lets the chinlock go and rises up over Shawn... and starts stomping on his back repeatedly! The fans begin to rally behind Shawn, chanting his name! SHAWN! SHAWN! SHAWN! And then...

SHAWN KIPS UP TO HIS FEET!!! He seems to have his second wind!!!

JR: UNBELIEVABLE!!! WHERE IS SHAWN FINDING THE STRENGTH!???

Michaels kicks Razor hard into the gut. The Bad Guy throws a punch... and Shawn ducks under it... comes up behind Razor, who turns.... into SWEET CHIN MUSIC!!! THE FANS GO CRAZY!!! Shawn drops down to cover....

1... 2... RAZOR KICKS OUT!!! Shawn rolls over onto his back, catching his breath. Razor starts to stir. Shawn tries to get up... but Razor is quicker! He stomps Michaels down.... then spins on... A FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK!!! The referee gets into position.....

Shawn reaches back for the ropes... HE CAN'T MAKE IT!!! Razor keeps the hold on, keeping his arms wide so that it can't be reversed! Michaels is shaking his head.... NO!! NO!!!!

YES!!! HE SUBMITS!!! Razor let's the hold go and Shawn falls motionless to the mat. Razor stands up and holds his arms up to the fans, and gets a nice reaction.

The Freakshow turns and leaves. Razor's music begins to play and his fireworks go off in the ring.

Shawn rolls out of the ring, and slams his hands down on the edge of the apron, looking disgusted. Diesel walks over and talks to him for a second, and they head backstage, Sensei talking to Shawn about what went good and what could have been better. The Bodyguard follows behind, looking around and behind tham as they walk.

Winner, by submission: Razor Ramon
