(As Raw comes on the air, Shane McMahon makes his way down to the ring, to the
disgust of the fans.)

Shane McMahon:
I do not have to explain my actions to any of you.  If anything, you people are
the ones that should be explaining your actions to me.  For months, Hollywood
Hogan tried to destroy this company that I have worked so hard for, and that 
you pay your hard-earned money to come see.  But all he had to do was wear a
pair of yellow and red tights, and all of a sudden he's your hero again?  I've
got news for you.  Hulk Hogan didn't change.  Hulk Hogan could never change.

Hulk Hogan will always be a money-grabbing bastard, who's only out for himself,
so I did what I had to in order to put him in his place.  I didn't sell out, I
don't need to sell out.  I'm Shane McMahon damn it, I'm a millionaire, with a
billionaire for a father.  But Ted DiBiase is a man who I have a lot in common
with.  Like me, he's a millionaire, and like me, he despises Hulk Hogan.  So
after he showed me what he was made of by choking me out last Monday night, I
decided to strike a deal with him.  I guess what he said after Wrestlemania
was true, everybody has a price for the Million Dollar Man, even me.

The deal was as such.  DiBiase would assist me by taking Hollywood Hogan, and
then I would give him what he wanted, which is the chance to once again become
eligible for title shots, before his six months were up.  And he'll get that
chance tonight, if he can beat the WWE Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin in
a non-title match, but as far as...

(Before Shane can continue, Hollywood Hogan's music hits, and the Hulkster
comes out onto the stage.)

Hollywood Hogan:
I'm gonna make this quick Shane.  You double-crossed me, just like I did you
during the nWo days.  Well let me make this clear to you, I will take you down.
Not for the nWo, but for me, and for the people that have stood by me despite
my mistakes.  The time is coming for you and I Shane, and soon enough I will
have my revenge.

But right now, I'm not interested in you.  I'm interested in taking care of Ted
DiBiase, so here's the deal.  At Bad Blood, I want DiBiase in a steel cage
match, where the only way to win is to get out of the cage.  If DiBiase wins,
then you can do whatever the hell you like to me.  You can bench me, you can
put me in 10 on 1 handicap matches, whatever.  But if I win, then I get your
ass in a match at the Great American Bash.  You like that?

Shane McMahon:
Hogan, if I wanted to bench you, or put you in 10 on 1 matches, then I could
do that right now.  But I'm a reasonable man, so you've got your match.  But
I guarantee you one thing Hogan, if you lose, you'll regret it for the rest
of your life, because I'll own your ass, and I'll you my bitch.  Good luck
Hogan, because you're gonna need it.  Oh and another thing you're going to
need is a ride home, because as of right now, you're banned from the building.
See ya!

(Shane's music hits, as security comes to escort Hogan out of the building.)
