The crowd pop as the screen is suddenly filled with the image of a World Tag Team Championship belt, the camera moving out as the crowd erupt, the screen now showing the World Tag Team Champions Michael Shane and Johnny Nitro accompanied by Melina. Both me are in long black coats with green fur trim and their DX tights, the suited Todd Grisham stood next to them and as the DX chant fades he begins to speak. Michael Shane holds up a hand to cut off Grisham, calmly taking his mic and putting it to his own lips
"LLLLLLLadies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, D-Generation X proudly brings to you ITS TAG TEAM CHAMMMMPIONS OF THE WWWWWORLD........ THE AMERICAN DREAM MICHAEL SHANE.... NITRO, MELINA..... M, N, M" cries Shane to a massive roar from this huge crowd. He grins and hands the mic back to Todd
"I always wanted to say that" he marvels, our interviewer perplexed before speaking again
"Michael Shane, Johnny Nitro, Melina you are just moments away from what is possibly the biggest tag match in the history of WrestleMania against Los Conquistadors and Adult Viewing in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match, what are your thoughts going into what is surely the biggest match in your careers?" he asks, Shane stood with his eyes closed, soaking up the atmosphere
"Todd.... this ISN'T WrestleMania...." claims Shane quietly, Grisham confused as the American Dream grins
"This is every Christmas, birthday, celebration, party and night of pleasure you and i have ever had...."
Shane suddenly stops and looks at Todd
"Not that we've had any nights of pleasure... but you know what i'm saying here" he grins, Grisham nodding
"Thank God you're not Michael Cole... but what i'm saying Todd is that this is Mecca, Jerusalem, Rome, this is holy ground, for this one night, Ford Field, Detroit Michigan is the center of the World. The ONLY thing that matters to me is what happens in that ring, not money, not my family, not my friends, NOTHING. All that matters to me for the next twenty something minutes is being the absolute best performer on this card, going out there and retaining the World Tag Team Titles.... but doing it in style Todd, doing it like Steamboat and Savage, like Michaels and Bret, like Hogan and Austin - we've going out there and we're gunna steal this show because this one is different Todd...." claims The American Dream
"You know, I've been to WrestleManias... I've performed in front of tens of thousands... but NOTHING feels like tonight, nothing feels as special or important as whats gunna happen in that ring in just a few minutes Todd. I've waited 24 years for this moment, this one opportunity in front of a watching World, one opportunity to live forever and i am gunna savor... EVERY... LAST MOMENT"
Shane ups the tempo
"Every blow, every chairshot, every broken table, every Chokeslam, Powerbomb, Hurrcanrana, Gory Bomb... every BAH GAWD that JR calls, every SLOBBERKNOCKER and every time somebody's BROKEN IN HALF, every drop of blood, every ounce of sweat, every little bit of adrenaline used, every braincell lost and every last piece of energy we use in that ring... i will savor, i will remember and i WILL make it count" he insists, looking at the camera
"I go to sleep at night thinking about Hulk Hogan, about the night he slammed Andre the Giant, about the night he faced the Ultimate Warrior, about HBK coming down that zipslide and kicking Bret Hart square in the face... i DREAM about it Todd. This business is in my blood and in my head. For the past two months since The Royal Rumble i cannot close my eyes without seeing those moments, those moments that echo through the ages... my World is never silent because i can HEAR the calls, i can hear McMahon call that slam, hear JR shout out Mike Tysons right hand......"
Shane breaks into a whisper
"Hear him call out - Stone Cold, Stone Cold, Stone Cold... THESE are the moments Todd that everybody will remember and i will not REST, i will not SLEEP, i will not STOP until MY NAME is etched in the annals of this event, until the World stands in shock and awe at what i'm capable of and my moment has been written" he goes, pausing briefly before continuing
"Tonight, Los Conquistadors, Adult Viewing, you guys have talked a good game and i don't care if you're Mexican, gay or a big fat Welsh Lesbian, right now all you have is one thing - your ability. You think you're the greatest tag team in the World? well these belts say different, these belts say WE are the greatest tag team in the World today. Its time to step up to the plate on the grandest stage, time to cash the checks that your mouths have written, time to FINALLY see just who is the best tag team in WWE and time for at least one of use to live forever in the history books.... and of course, if you're not down with that.... Melinas got two words for ya"
Melina folds her arms and pouts, refusing to say it
"SUCK IT" cries Shane, Nitro and apparently Grisham, the crowd joining in as we fade away back to the ring area....
