>> ARE WE ROLLING?

>> WE ARE ROLLING, TWO, THREE.

>> DID SHAWN NEED A BODYGUARD IN

REAL LIFE?

>> YES, HE DID.

>> WHY >> BECAUSE HE HAD HEAT.

SHAWN MICHAELS HAD HEAT BECAUSE

SHAWN MICHAELS KNEW HOW TO

NATURALLY HAVE HEAT.

>> HELLO SIR.

>> HEY, HOW ARE YOU DOING?

>> VERY GOOD.

>> THE RUMORS BACK THEN IS THAT

YOU WERE KIND OF HANDFUL WITH

VINCE.

>> AT THIS POINT, THE IDEA THAT

WE WOULD STILL CALL THEM RUMORS

IS LAUGHABLE.

"I CAN'T BE POPULAR WITH

EVERYBODY ALL THE TIME.

I WANT TO BE POPULAR WITH ME."

THEY'RE NOT RUMORS, I WAS A

HANDFUL FOR VINCE AND EVERYBODY

ELSE.

>> ONLY [BLEEP] SHAWN GETS AWAY

WITH THIS KIND OF [BLEEP].

>> CRUMPLING UP PROMOS AND

THROWING THEM AT THEM.

"I'M NOT SAYING THIS [BLEEP]".

NOBODY LOOKS AT THEIR BOSS HALF

OUT OF IT, AND YELLS AT THE TOP

OF THEIR LUNGS FOR THEM TO

F-OFF.

"I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE ME.

WHY?

YOU'RE JEALOUS."

>> HE JUST TURNS AND LOOKS AT

VINCE AND SAYS, "GOD DAMN, I'M

GOING TO BE ON THE ROAD FOR 330

DAYS A YEAR.

I'M GOING TO DRIVE WITH WHO THE

[BLEEP] I WANT TO."

THEN IT WAS JUST LIKE, "YES,

WHAT HE JUST SAID."

>> THE DUDE DIDN'T KNOW ME.

I WAS BAD AND KEVIN WAS THE GUY

THAT STUCK BY ME.

>> SHAWN WAS A COWBOY, I WAS A

CITY BOY.

IT WORKED OUT GOOD.

>> I GOT NOTHING TO HIDE.

THAT'S WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT MY

LIFE.

I AIN'T LIED ABOUT [BLEEP]

[LAUGHS].

BELIEVE ME, UNBELIEVABLY

LIBERATING.

>> I'M NOT A GIANT OR ANYTHING.

THE THING ABOUT BEING A BIG GUY

IS THAT THE MINUTE YOU BECOME A

BIG GUY, SO YOU'RE ALWAYS ONE.

BACK THEN I SAID, I'LL JUST PLAY

BASKETBALL.

I STARTED AS A FRESHMAN AT

DIVISION ONE UNIVERSITY OF

TENNESSEE.

IT'S NOT THAT I HAVE A

BASKETBALL SUPERPOWER, BUT I'VE

HAD SUCCESS IN THE SPORT.

I GOT INTO A BUNCH OF [BLEEP]

TROUBLE.

I WENT OVER THE MILITARY AND

ENDED UP PLAYING MILITARY

BASKETBALL.

I GOT A SEASON AT OVERSEAS, I

BLEW MY KNEE OUT.

I CAME BACK.

I WENT DOWN TO ATLANTA.

THERE'S A GUY NAMED PETER BOTHE.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE STILL

ALIVE, PETE, BUT THANKS.

HE TOOK ME TO A PLACE CALLED THE

CHEETAH.

HE'S THERE LOOKING FOR A FLOOR

MANAGER, I WALKED DOWN AND I GOT

THE JOB ON THE SPOT.

IF ANY GUY THAT'S EVER WORKED

ADULT ENTERTAINMENT-- PUT IT

THIS WAY YOU'RE NOT [BLEEP]

LATE FOR WORK.

YOU MIGHT BE AT THE CROSSROADS

OF YOUR LIFE, BUT I CAN TELL YOU

WHAT, MAN, SOME NICE SCENERY IN

THOSE CROSSROADS.

SOME GOOD TIMES.

THE BOYS OF COURSE ARE COMING IN

THE CHEETAH, AND ONE OF THE GUYS

IS BARRY WENDELL.

BARRY WAS LIKE, "DUDE, YOU NEED

TO GET IN THE BUSINESS."

I SAID, "WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?

HE SAID, "YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW

TO DO IT."

SO I WENT DOWN TO THIS QUONSET

HUT.

BACK THEN IT WAS, ONE PERSON GOT

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND

THE OTHER PEOPLE GOT IN THE

CORNER, ONE PERSON WOULD COME

OUT, YOU'D FEED

COUNTERCLOCKWISE, AND YOU WOULD

TAKE TOSSES.

YOU JUST HIT WOOD, AND I

REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I TOOK A

BUMP IN WCW RING, I WAS LIKE,

"OH MY GOD, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"

>> FOR ME, IT'S SITTING UP

SATURDAY NIGHT IN SAN ANTONIO,

WATCHING SOUTHWEST CHAMPIONSHIP

WRESTLING.

TONY BLANCHARD, WAHOO MCDANIEL,

SCOTT CASEY, BLACK GORDMAN.

AFTER SEEING IT AND TELLING MY

MOM, "I KNOW WHAT I WANT TO BE

WHEN I GROW UP, I WANT TO BE A

PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER."

SHE OF COURSE SAID, "THAT'S

NICE, HONEY."

AT THAT TIME, MY IDEA OF SUCCESS

WAS TO BE A WRESTLER AT

SOUTHWEST CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING

WHERE I KNOW THEY WRESTLE IN THE

HEMISFAIR ARENA, 30 MINUTES FROM

THE HOUSE.

YOU TRAVEL AROUND THE SOUTH WEST

REGION OF TEXAS AND YOU WRESTLE.

OH MY GOODNESS, THAT'S THE

COOLEST JOB EVER, AND IT WOULD

BE SO AWESOME.

I COULD HAVE MY OWN APARTMENT, I

COULD HAVE A CAR.

I COULDN'T IMAGINE A GREATER

LIFE AT THAT TIME.

>> SHAWN MICHAELS, A NEWCOMER, A

PROTÉGÉ OF JOSE LOTHARIO.

HE IS REALLY GETTING INITIATED,

WOW.

>> I'VE BEEN IN THE WRESTLING

BUSINESS FOR FIVE, SIX YEARS.

>> FLY THROUGH THE AIR.

OH, BEAUTIFUL.

BY SHAWN MICHAELS.

>> I'VE MADE IT TO THE WWE.

>> SHAWN MICHAELS AND MARTY

JANNETTY, AND THE ROCKERS.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SET SOME

NEW STANDARDS IN THE WORLD

WRESTLING FEDERATION.

>> I WAS IN A RELATIVELY

SUCCESSFUL TAG TEAM.

WE NEVER WON THE TAG TEAM

CHAMPIONSHIPS, BUT MARTY AND I,

THE ROCKERS WERE A VERY GOOD

TEAM.

AT THAT POINT, CERTAINLY, I HAD

SURPASSED THAT APARTMENT AND THE

CAR, AND I WAS DOING MORE THAN

JUST TRAVELING AROUND THE STATE

OF TEXAS.

>> THE ROCKERS, IT WASN'T LIKE A

DEAD END JOB.

HE HAD TO WORK REALLY HARD TO

OVERCOME THE IMAGE THAT HE WAS A

LITTLE GUY FROM A TAG TEAM.

>> ARE YOU KIDDING?

WHAT A DESPICABLE ACT THAT WAS.

>> HE DON'T NEED JANNETTY.

I TOLD YOU THAT.

>> PEOPLE WERE STILL

UNCOMFORTABLE LOSING TO ME, AND

I WAS NEVER GOING TO BE A

HOGANESQUE OR WARRIORESQUE TYPE

MAIN EVENT.

THAT WAS THE GENESIS OF A LOT OF

MY TROUBLE WITH EVERYBODY.

>> SHAWN MICHAELS IS THE

WRESTLER OF THE '90S.

LOOK AT IT.

HE'S A LEAN MEAN WRESTLING

MACHINE.

>> SHAWN MICHAELS IS GOING

UPTOWN, AND HE'S GOING TO RUN

WITH EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD

WRESTLING FEDERATION.

>> FROM THE TOP.

>> HE'S BACK.

>> OH, WAIT A MINUTE.

NO.

>> YES, YES, YES.

WE GOT A NEW INTERCONTINENTAL

CHAMPION.

>> LOOK, I HAD SOME MANY

BELIEVING LIKE, "NOBODY COULD

TAKE A BACKDROP THAT HIGH.

IT'D KILL HIM."

WELL, I DID.

EITHER I'M COOL AND BETTER THAN

YOU OR YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT.

YOU'RE JEALOUS, BUT YOU'RE NOT

ALLOWED TO SAY THAT STUFF.

>> WRESTLING IS BUILT ON GIANTS.

THE PROMOTERS AND EVERYBODY IS

ALWAYS LOOKING FOR BIG MEN.

THEY'RE HUNTING IN GYMS AND

HIRING BAR BOUNCERS.

YET WHEN KEVIN NASH CAME

THROUGH, IT WASN'T EXACTLY THE

MOST GLORIOUS OF TIMES TO BE A

BIG GUY.

JUST BEING BIG WASN'T ENOUGH

ANYMORE.

THEY ALWAYS HAD TO ADD SOMETHING

ELSE TO IT.

>> WCW, THEY OFFER ME A

CONTRACT.

>> THE MASTER BLASTERS.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE

EXPECT FROM THIS TEAM.

>> YOU TAKE A GUY AND YOU GIVE

HIM A MOHAWK BECAUSE IT'S SWEET.

BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO

DO IS YOU MAKE UP FOR VINCE

TAKING THE ROAD WARRIORS AND

MAKING THEM THE LEGION OF DOOM.

NOW I'LL NEVER FORGET THE FIRST

NIGHT, I REMEMBER WALKING DOWN

THE RAMP.

>> WE'RE MOMENTS AWAY FROM THE

MASTER BLASTERS DEBUT HERE ON

TBS.

>> MY FIRST MATCH OF COURSE IS

LIVE.

THERE'S 9,000, A GOOD CROWD.

>> SIZE AND STRENGTH ARE

REQUISITES TO BEING GREAT

CHAMPIONS.

YOU CAN GIVE THESE GUYS BELTS

NOW.

>> I'M ABOUT THREE MINUTES INTO

MY FIRST PRO MATCH.

MY PARTNER GOES FOR A HEADBUTT

AND MISSES BY ABOUT FIVE FEET.

THAT CROWD JUST WENT [BLOWS

RASPBERRY].

I MEAN THEY SAID [BEEP]

THIS.

>> LOOK AT THAT.

DOUBLE SHOULDER BLOCK.

>> THIS IS A NICE START.

I WONDER WHAT CANDICE AND JOY

ARE DOING BACK ON TABLETOP RIGHT

NOW.

[LAUGHS] LIKE, "WOW."

THEY WENT FROM THERE TO OZ.

YOU GOT GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ.

>> BROTHER, THIS JUST KNOCKED MY

SOCKS RIGHT OFF, RIGHT HERE.

I AIN'T NEVER SEEN NOTHING LIKE

THAT, TAKING A LOOK AT OZ.

>> YOU FORGET WHAT A TREASURE

DUSTY WAS.

HE GOT ME IN THE OFFICE, MAN.

YOU START PAINTING THAT PICTURE,

"AND RIGHT THERE YOU BECOME OZ,

BABY.

I'M SITTING THERE GOING, "DUST,

DIDN'T-- OZ A GEOGRAPHICAL

REGION?"

>> LOOK AT THIS MOVE RIGHT HERE.

>> WHOA, BABY.

>> WITH KEVIN NASH, ALL YOU

REALLY NEEDED TO ADD WAS KEVIN

NASH.

IF YOU LET HIM BE HIMSELF, THAT

WAS EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEEDED TO

MAKE A SUPERSTAR.

>> IT WAS SPECIAL.

THEN I WAS VINNIE VEGAS.

I WAS STILL WATCHING TELEVISION.

I WATCHED STEVE MARTIN IN MY

BLUE HEAVEN.

>> VINNIE VEGAS, DREAM A BIG

MAN, 6'10", OVER 300 POUNDS.

>> THE VIN MAN CLOCKED THE EYES

OF A YOUNG SUPERSTAR WHO WAS

SHAWN MICHAELS.

HE WAS THE HEARTBREAK KID.

>> I'M WATCHING WCW'S SATURDAY

NIGHT.

ANDREW DICE CLAY AT THAT TIME

WAS PRETTY HOT.

KEVIN WAS A WRESTLING VERSION OF

ANDREW DICE CLAY.

I JUST LOVED THE CHARACTER HE

WAS, COME ON, BADA-BING,

BADA-BOOM.

>> WANT TO TAKE THIS TOILET-LID

SIZED HAND AND SMACK THE TASTE

OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.

>> YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF

SEVEN-FOOT GUYS THAT ARE THAT

ENTERTAINING AND CAN LAUGH AT

THEMSELVES THAT MUCH.

IT JUST STUCK IN MY MIND.

THIS THOUGHT CAME INTO MY HEAD

THAT I WAS THE INTERCONTINENTAL

CHAMPION AT THAT TIME.

I WOULD MAKE GUYS LOOK REALLY

GOOD, BUT WE WERE HAVING TO HAVE

A LOT OF DISQUALIFICATION

FINISHES.

>> THE BELT DOES NOT CHANGE

HANDS ON A COUNT-OUT.

>> YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT FOR SO

LONG.

THEN I STARTED THINKING, "GOSH,

IF I COULD HAVE SOMEBODY HELP ME

TO WIN, THAT MIGHT HELP.

IT WOULD GET ME HEAT."

VINCE WAS ASKING ME, "THE

EXISTING ROSTER, WHO WOULD YOU

SEE DOING THAT?"

I WAS LIKE, "I CAN'T SEE ANYBODY

THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.

I JUST HAPPENED TO MENTION, I

SAID, "HEY, THERE'S THIS DUDE IN

WCW."

HE WAS, "OH, WE CAN'T TALK TO

THOSE GUYS."

I SAID, "ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S A DUDE I SAW.

HE GOES ON AS VINNIE VEGAS.

IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME OLD

STEREOTYPICAL BODYGUARD WHO'S

JUST QUIET, STANDS THERE.

THE DUDE'S DYNAMIC AS HELL."

SOMETIME LATER, I JUST HAPPENED

TO TALK TO ROBBIE STEINER ABOUT

HAVING THE BODYGUARD.

"OH, I SAW THIS GUY, VINNIE

VEGAS."

HE GOES, "OH, THAT'S KEVIN NASH.

I KNOW HIM.

HE'S A GREAT DUDE.

I CAN CALL HIM RIGHT NOW."

CALLED KEVIN.

HE GOES, "OH, DUDE.

I'M IN."

KEVIN GOES IN THE NEXT DAY AND

TELLS THEM, "I DON'T THINK THIS

STUFF'S WORKING OUT FOR ME.

I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO

BOUNCING."

THEY GAVE HIM HIS RELEASE.

HE WENT IN THEIR OFFICE IN CNN

TOWER, FAXED IT TO VINCE AND

THEM IN STANFORD, AND THE NEXT

DAY WE FLEW HIM UP.

>> MEETING VINCE MCMAHON WAS

LIKE MEETING STEINBRENNER WHEN

HE PLAYED BASEBALL.

HIS HAIR WAS WEREWOLF OF LONDON.

HIS HAIR WAS PERFECT.

HE SAID, "HEY, BIG MAN.

THE GUYS ARE OUT BACK."

>> THE FIRST TIME I MET KEVIN

NASH, OUT BY THE POOL AT VINCE'S

HOUSE.

I REMEMBER LOOKING UP AT HIM AND

GOING, "WOW.

THIS IS A BIG --."

[CHUCKLES] HE IS VERY CHARMING,

DECEPTIVELY SO.

>> I'M SITTING AROUND THE POOL

AND VINCE JUST LIKE, "OH, BY THE

WAY.

MY DRIVER'S GOING TO TAKE YOU TO

ALBANY AND YOU'RE GOING TO SCREW

MARTY JANNETTY.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE WITH SHAWN

MICHAELS."

I WAS JUST LIKE, "I BEEN AT THE

BOSS' HOUSE.

I'M GOING TO BE INVOLVED

TONIGHT."

THEY BROUGHT ME AROUND TO MEET

SHAWN.

SHAWN TOOK A STEP AND GOT UP,

BUT HE HE LOOKS AT ME AND HE

GOES, "HEY, I'M SHAWN."

LIKE, "DID THAT COME OUT OF THAT

GUY'S MOUTH?

THAT'S HIS VOICE?

THAT'S-- OKAY."

>> I THINK HE HAD THE BIG

TRACKSUIT ON, BUT I DO RECALL

LETTING HIM KNOW THAT I HAD SEEN

HIM.

I THOUGHT HE WAS INCREDIBLY

COOL, BUT HE SHOULD KNOW THAT

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE LIKE

ME.

"THAT MAY RUB OFF ON YOU A

LITTLE BIT."

AT THAT TIME, PROBABLY THE FIRST

GUY WHO EVER LOOKED AT ME, HE

GOES, "I GOT YOUR BACK, MAN."

AGAIN, THAT'S ONE OF THOSE

THINGS THAT MAKE ME TEAR UP.

HE DID.

>> THIS WEEK'S SPECIAL REPORT,

LAST SUNDAY, IN NEW YORK'S

CAPITAL CITY OF ALBANY, THE EVER

RESOURCEFUL SHAWN MICHAELS HIRED

A NEW BODYGUARD WHO'S ASSIGNED

DUTIES ALLOWED MICHAELS TO

REGAIN HIS TITLE FROM JANNETTY.

>> MAY I KNOW INTRODUCE TO YOU

THE NEW INTERCONTINENTAL

CHAMPION, SHAWN MICHAELS.

[SHAWN MICHAEL'S ENTRANCE MUSIC]

>> I WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS

BACK THEN BECAUSE I WAS A SINGLE

DUDE THAT HAD NOTHING ELSE IN

HIS LIFE TO DO, BUT TO FOCUS ON

BEING A PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER

AND BEING THE BEST ONE I COULD

BE.

I HAD AN ATTITUDE THAT I WAS

10-FEET TALL AND BULLETPROOF.

>> I'M RIGHT ALONG WITH THE

"MACHO MAN" RANDY SAVAGE AND

BOBBY "THE BRAIN."

>> JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS

SAFE TO WATCH MONDAY NIGHT RAW,

LOOK WHO'S BACK ON TOP OF THE

WORLD LOOKING AT DOWN ON ALL OF

YOU.

THE HEARTBREAK KID HIMSELF,

SHAWN MICHAELS, AND HIS

INSURANCE POLICY, MY BODYGUARD.

>> THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW BIG OF

A -- HE REALLY IS.

>> THE HEARTBREAK KID, IS HE

EVER ARROGANT OR WHAT.

>> THE THING ABOUT SHAWN WAS HE

WAS A -- BECAUSE YOU WERE

MEAN TO HIM BECAUSE YOU WERE

JEALOUS.

>> THERE'S A STROLL.

A LITTLE BIT COCKY?

NO.

A LOT COCKY.

>> THE THING IS NOBODY LIKED

SHAWN EXCEPT FOR HIS BOYS UNTIL

YOU SAW HIS NAME ACROSS,

PREMIERS ON THE TV LIST.

ANYTIME YOU'RE GOING TO GET OUT

AND DO WHAT YOU GET PAID TO DO,

ALL OF THE SUDDEN, HE'S THE BEST

[BEEP] ON EARTH.

THAT MAN DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO

HAVE A BAD MATCH.

>> WE SAW THIS MAN APPEAR OUT OF

NOWHERE OUT OF LEFT FIELD IN

ALBANY, NEW YORK, WHEN YOU

RECAPTURED THE INTERCONTINENTAL

TITLE.

THE SO CALLED BODYGUARD, THIS

INSURANCE POLICY, WHAT'S HIS

NAME?

>> WHAT'S HIS NAME?

HIS NAME'S MY INSURANCE POLICY.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

>> OH, HE'S GOT TO HAVE A NAME.

DOES HE TALK?

>> OKAY.

NO.

I DO THE TALKING.

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HIS NAME

IS?

>> YES.

I WOULD.

>> I'LL GIVE YOU THE INFO.

HIS NAME IS DIESEL, AS IN DIESEL

FUEL.

THAT WHICH MAKES A MACK TRUCK

GO.

THIS IS A MACK TRUCK AND THIS

MAN PROTECTS SHAWN MICHAELS

EVERY INCH OF THE WAY.

>> WHEN WE WERE THINKING OF A

NAME FOR SHAWN'S BODYGUARD,

OBVIOUSLY, WE DIDN'T WANT TO USE

KEVIN NASH OR VINNIE VEGAS OR

ANY OF THOSE NAMES THAT HAD BEEN

USED.

DIESEL WAS A DESCRIPTIVE TERM.

IT WAS ONE NAME AND IT WAS

SOMEBODY THAT WAS JACKED AND

LIKE A GYM RAT OR SOMETHING, BUT

A TOUGH GUY.

>> I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE A LOOK

OR ANYTHING.

I'M NOT EXACTLY AN OFF-THE-RACK

GUY.

NOW I'VE GOT TO COME UP WITH A

LOOK AND THIS WAS BACK WHEN

EVERYBODY'S SPORTING THAT MULLET

HARD.

IT WAS JUST HOCKEY HAIRCUT CITY.

>> THE MULLET, WERE YOU KIDDING?

THAT'S ANOTHER ONE.

WHO KNEW?

IN MY MIND, I WAS GROWING MY

HAIR LONG.

AT FIRST, IT'S LIKE I'M GROWING

IT OUT NOW, BUT YOU GET TO THIS

CURLY PART HERE, YOU GET TO THAT

UNCOMFORTABLE PHASE ON THE

SIDES.

YOU GO, "YES.

I'LL JUST CUT THAT OFF."

BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU GOT A

FULL-BLOWN MULLET GOING.

I NEVER FIGURED THAT OUT UNTIL

MANY, MANY YEARS LATER UNTIL I

GOT MARRIED.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

THE WOMEN GOES, "WHY DON'T YOU

JUST LET ALL YOUR HAIR GROW OUT?

NOBODY DOES THAT ANYMORE."

LIKE, "DOES WHAT?"

"THE MULLET."

"WHAT'S A MULLET?"

"WHAT YOU'RE WEARING ON YOUR

HEAD."

LIKE, "OH."

>> THE UNDISPUTED

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION.

>> THIS IS A REAL CHAMP'S BELT

RIGHT HERE, PEOPLE.

>> I ALWAYS LOOK AT THINGS IN MY

LIFE THAT ARE ICONICALLY COOL.

I SAW THE ELVIS COMEBACK ON

TELEVISION WHICH WAS REALLY

COOL.

THAT BLACK OUTFIT HE HAD ON.

MY JOB IS TO [BLEEP] BE

THERE, SO IF I'M GOING TO BE

THERE, I'M GOING TO LOOK GOOD.

I'M GOING TO LOOK COOL AND HAVE

MY SHADES ON.

I'M NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING.

I'M NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING.

SOMEBODY ROLLS OUT.

I TAKE THE GLOVE.

I GO TO THE REFEREE.

HE CUTS IT OFF.

MEANTIME, I'M BACK.

>> OH, OH, UNBELIEVABLE.

OH, THAT COULD BREAK HIS JAW.

OH, NO.

DID YOU SEE THAT?

[BELL RINGS] >> LOOK AT THE LOOK

ON DIESEL'S FACE.

>> HE'S MAD.

DON'T GET HIM MAD.

>> WE STARTED GETTING HEAT AND

WE STARTED GETTING HEAT.

>> SHAWN MICHAELS, THERE IS NO

WAY YOU CAN BE HAPPY WALKING OUT

OF THE RING.

A TRUE CHAMPION IS LAYING ON THE

BACK, THE WAY THAT YOU WON.

>> ALL YOUR QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN

ANSWERED.

WHO IS THE GREATEST

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION?

THE MAN I TOLD HIM ABOUT, SHAWN

MICHAELS.

OUT OF MY WAY.

>> WHEN KEVIN NASH CAME HERE,

KEVIN WAS NOT A POLISHED

PERFORMER BY ANY STRETCH OF THE

IMAGINATION.

>> WELCOME TO THE HEARTBREAK

HOTEL.

>> WHAT IS THIS?

>> THE HOME OF THE "HEARTBREAK

KID" SHAWN MICHAELS.

>> LOOK AT THAT LAMP.

OH, BOY.

>> IF YOU GO BACK AND YOU LOOK

AT THE EARLY HEARTBREAK HOTELS

WITH KEVIN NASH AND THE

BACKGROUND TO SHAWN'S DOING THE

PROMO AND CONDUCTING THE

INTERVIEWS, KEVIN HAD ONE THING

TO DO, AND THAT WAS THIS.

HE ALWAYS USED TO SAY TO ME, HE

GOES, "HEY BRUCE, I GOT MY LINES

DOWN."

KEVIN WASN'T A GREAT TALKER, AND

KEVIN WASN'T A VERY GOOD

PERFORMER IN THE RING.

BY PUTTING KEVIN WITH SHAWN

MICHAELS, WHO ARGUABLY IS THE

GREATEST PERFORMER EVER TO LACE

UP A PAIR OF BOOTS, HE GAVE

KEVIN THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN

FROM THE VERY BEST.

>> WE'VE GOT THAT TAG MATCH THAT

WE TALKED ABOUT COMING UP, MARTY

JANNETTY AND RAZOR RAMON, TAKING

ON SHAWN MICHAELS AND HIS

HENCHMAN, HIS BODYGUARD,

WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL HIM,

DIESEL.

A LOT OF FOLKS THINK THAT SHAWN

MICHAELS JUST SAYS, "DIESEL,

HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO, I

WANT YOU TO WATCH MY BACK, KEEP

THE LADIES OFF OF ME, MAKE SURE

THAT NOBODY ATTACKS ME."

THAT'S NOT EXACTLY TRUE.

[CHEERING] >> EARL HEBNER HERE,

SET TO START THINGS OFF.

>> FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSE,

YOU'RE THE MANAGER, AND SOONER

OR LATER THAT MANAGER, THAT

ESCORT OR IN MY CASE, THE

BODYGUARD IS GOING TO BE PUT IN

A SITUATION WHERE IT BECOMES A

TAG MATCH.

[LAUGHTER] >> LOOK AT THIS.

SHAWN MICHAELS TAGS IN THE

AWESOME DIESEL WHO STEPS NOT TWO

ROPES, BUT OVER THE TOP ROPE.

[CHEERING]

>> THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE

WANTRING TO SEE. RAZOR

RAMON AND HE'S SQUARING OFF

AGAINST DIESEL.

>> THAT WAS MY GRAD WORK.

UNDERGRAD WAS WCW.

>> RAZOR RAMON NOW THE ONE BEING

HELD.

BIG FOREARM.

>> I'M LOVING THIS.

LANE, THIS IS GREAT.

>> THE AUDIENCE SAW THIS BIG,

TOUGH GUY THAT TOOK NO CRAP FROM

ANYBODY AND COULD BEAT PRETTY

MUCH ANYONE ON THE ROSTER.

>> I WANT THAT BELT.

>> THIS IS A CHANCE OF A

LIFETIME, YOU KNOW THAT?

>> YES, FOR ME.

>> COME ON THIS IS TOO MUCH.

>> IT BETTER BE A [BLEEP].

>> THIS IS SECOND HAND.

THIS IS FROM LEX.

HE SAID, "YOU'RE GOING TO BE A

CHAMP MAN."

HE SAYS, "I WAS STANDING RIGHT

NEXT TO VINCE."

HE SAID HE JUST KEPT SAYING,

"LOOK AT THE SIZE OF HIM."

>> LOOK AT THIS.

>> DIESEL DON'T CARE.

IT'S EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF IN

THAT RING, REMEMBER THAT.

>> LOOK AT THIS, HOW ABOUT THAT?

>> OH.

>> LOOK AT THE SIZE OF HIM.

LOOK AT HIS SHOULDERS.

LOOK HOW BIG THAT MAN IS.

>> HERE COMES BILLY.

OH-OH.

>> YOU WERE SAYING?

[LAUGHTER] >> WOW.

>> THERE GOES BILLY.

>> UNBELIEVABLE.

>> HE'S 317.

HE'S 320.

HE'S NOT EXACTLY AN UGLY HUMAN

BEING.

>> COME ON.

>> HE WANTS ALL COMERS.

HE WANTS THEM ALL.

[MUSIC] >> KEVIN IS A BRIGHT

GUY.

HE'S UNBELIEVABLY ENTERTAINING,

BUT HE'S INTELLIGENT AS HELL.

[MUSIC] >> HE DID PAY ATTENTION

AND HE UNDERSTOOD THE

COMBINATION OF THE ART AND

PSYCHOLOGY AND TIMING.

>> WHEN SHAWN WAS 12 YEARS OLD,

SHAWN MICHAELS WANTED TO BE A

PRO WRESTLER.

I THINK SCOTT WASN'T FAR BEHIND

THAT.

THIS IS WHAT THESE GUYS WANTED

TO BE.

>> I THINK BOTH OF THOSE GUYS

WERE ABLE TO IMPART INTO KEVIN'S

PSYCHOLOGY IN THE WHYS AND THE

WHY-NOTS AND THE DOS AND DON'TS

OF THE BUSINESS.

>> DIESEL COMING IN NOW.

A CLOTHESLINE.

>> NICE MOVE.

>> DIESEL STEPPING OVER RAZOR.

>> DID YOU SEE SOMETHING?

DID YOU SEE SOMETHING?

>> I WATCHED WHY THEY DID WHAT

THEY DID, WHY THEY'D GO TO

DIFFERENT SPOTS.

>> WENT UP BEHIND RAZOR.

UNBELIEVABLE.

>> YES.

OH.

>> I LEARNED IT FROM THAT FAR

FROM THE RING.

IT WAS LIKE THAT EVERY NIGHT

WITH THOSE GUYS.

>> WHOA.

OH, NO.

>> NO, RAZOR.

COME ON, REFEREE.

>> YES, YES, YES, YES, YES.

[BELL RINGS] >> THEN GET IN THE

CAR, DRIVE 300 MILES, BREAK IT

DOWN, BREAK IT DOWN, BREAK IT

DOWN, BREAK IT DOWN, BREAK IT

DOWN, BREAK IT DOWN.

I THINK THAT WAS THE WHOLE

THING.

I THINK THE NUCLEUS OF WHAT

LATER BECAME THE CLIQUE WAS THE

THREE OF US.

WE WERE DRINKING SOME BEER BACK

THEN AND WE'RE POUNDING FOOD AND

TRAINING HARD, DRINKING A LOT OF

BEER.

THERE'S AN OLD WWE MAGAZINE.

IT'S A CHRISTMAS VERSION AND

IT'S GOT A ROLE.

SHAWN'S THE KIND OF GUY TOO,

HE'S HAVING AS GOOD A TIME AS

ANYBODY, BUT AS SOON AS HE SEES

SOMETHING LIKE THAT, HE'S LIKE,

"COME ON, YOU GUYS.

WHY DIDN'T SOMEBODY SMACK ME?

THAT WAS [BLEEP]."

SCOTT WOULD BE LIKE, "MAN, I

TOLD YOU.

DON'T TRY TO USE AS MUCH AS A

BIG MAN."

WE WERE JUST KIDS.

WE HAD A GOOD TIME.

>> MARTY AND I WERE CLOSE, BUT

IT WAS A DIFFERENT KIND OF

CLOSE.

I COULDN'T ASK MARTY AGAIN LIKE,

"HOW DO YOU TALK TO GIRLS LIKE

THAT FROM AWAY?"

HE'S LIKE, "IF THEY DON'T KNOW

WHO I AM FROM TELEVISION, I

DON'T KNOW HOW."

"WHAT'S THE OPENING LINE?"

YOU SEE THEIR STARE AT YOU AT

THE OTHER SIDE.

YOU'RE STARING AT THEM.

IT'S ALL REALLY THERE.

THEY'RE WAITING FOR YOU TO MAKE

THE FIRST MOVE, BUT WHAT IS THAT

MOVE?

"CAN I BUY YOU A DRINK?"

THAT JUST DOESN'T SOUND REAL.

I DON'T KNOW.

HELL, I DON'T KNOW.

AGAIN, IT WAS STUFF LIKE THAT.

I THINK KEVIN UNDERSTOOD THAT,

THAT I COULD BE VERY

ACCOMPLISHED IN THIS LINE OF

WORK.

>> WAIT A MINUTE.

MICHAELS IS GOING UP.

MICHAELS IS FEELING IT NOW FROM

THE HEADSHRINKERS.

NO.

WAIT A MINUTE.

HE'S GOING HIGHER THAN THE

HEADSHRINKERS.

HE'S GOING ON TOP OF THE

SEVEN-FOOT DIESEL.

>> FROM THE TOP OF THE JOHN

HANCOCK BUILDING.

>> IN CERTAIN SOCIAL AREAS I WAS

NOT THAT, I GOT TO BE HONEST.

I LOVE MY PARENTS, A WONDERFUL

UPBRINGING, BUT THEY DIDN'T

SMART-ME UP TO ANYTHING.

I WAS ABLE TO BOND WITH KEVIN IN

A DIFFERENT WAY AND IN A VERY

REAL-LIFE BROTHERLY WAY THAT HE

HELPED ME GROW UP IN SOME WAY,

AND HE DID.

>> WHEN SHAWN AND I WON THE TAG

CHAMPIONSHIPS TOGETHER, I'D

NEVER BEEN A TAG CHAMPION IN MY

LIFE, AND HIS WHOLE CAREER HE

WAS A TAG WRESTLER.

HE BROKE OUT AND BECAME SINGLES.

HE JUMPED UP ON MY ARMS, I JUST

REMEMBER WE WERE HOLDING THE

BELTS AND HE LOOKED AT ME AND

GOES, "I'VE NEVER WON THIS WITH

ANYONE BEFORE.

THIS IS BIG, YOU KNOW."

>> I DON'T WANT TO COME OUT HERE

AND BRAG, BUT AS A MATTER OF

FACT, LAST NIGHT IN

INDIANAPOLIS, "BIG DADDY COOL"

DIESEL AND MYSELF, FORTUNATELY,

ARE NOW THE WORLD WRESTLING

FEDERATION TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.

>> OH, COME ON.

HE'S HERE.

[APPLAUSE] >> I'M KIND OF DRY

RIGHT NOW.

>> YOU'RE NOT, YOU LOOK

GORGEOUS.

>> MAKEUP TOOK CARE OF IT, THANK

YOU.

MAKEUP TOOK CARE OF IT.

>> HE LOOKS GORGEOUS.

>> HE DOES, HE LOOKS VERY

HANDSOME.

NOW-- >> THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] >> KEVIN AND I ARE

GETTING OVER, THIS ACT IS

WORKING, AND VINCE KIND OF GOES,

"OH, THAT'S JUST REALLY

WORKING."

[BACKGROUND NOISE] [BELL

RINGING] DIESEL MANAGED TO GET

OVER.

I SAID, "YES, NOW HE'S --

DOING GREAT."

BUT HE STARTS TALKING WE'VE GOT

TO PUT THE TITLE ON.

THE FIRST THOUGHTS IN YOUR

HEAD IS LIKE, "I'VE

GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING TO DO

WITH THIS, DON'T I?

I MEAN, FOR THE LOVE OF PETE."

>> WHEN YOU'RE WITH THE SAME

PERSON ALL OF THE TIME AND

PEOPLE CAN RELATE TO THAT IN

RELATIONSHIPS JUST IN GENERAL.

YOU HAVE YOUR UPS AND YOU HAVE

YOUR DOWNS, AND A GREAT TAG TEAM

IS NO DIFFERENT.

>> AND WATCH THIS.

[APPLAUSE] >> WHEN YOU HAVE TWO

STRONG INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITIES

LIKE SHAWN MICHAELS AND KEVIN

NASH DIESEL, THEN EVENTUALLY,

THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO

THEIR SEPARATE WAYS.

>> WAIT, OH, THE BIG BOOT.

>> OH NO.

>> THAT'S A JEALOUS.

THE SEVEN FOOT, DIESEL.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME WE'VE

SEEN THIS HAPPEN ON TELEVISION.

NOTHING CAN STOP HIM.

MICHAEL'S RUNNING FOR COVER.

>> IN THE EARLY '90S, WWE WAS AT

A CROSSROADS, I GUESS IT'S A

NICE WAY OF PUTTING IT, THEY

WERE TRYING TO FIND A NEW

IDENTITY.

THEY WERE ALSO FIGURING OUT IN

REAL-TIME THAT ALL THE TRICKS

THAT HAD WORKED IN THE '80S

WEREN'T GOING TO WORK ANYMORE.

>> KEVIN WAS ABLE, THROUGH HIS

PERSONALITY, TO REALLY EXCEL.

DO I THINK HE WAS READY?

AT THAT POINT, NOT PARTICULARLY.

HOWEVER, WAS HE THE GUY TO MAKE

A CHANGE AND TO BLOW THINGS A

LITTLE BIT?

DEFINITELY.

>> RIGHT ABOUT HERE?

>> VINCE WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE

DESIRE TO HAVE THE BIGGER THAN

LIFE COMIC BOOK HERO.

>> GO AHEAD.

LET'S SHOOT ONE.

>> I GOT MY SHOT.

VINCE, HE PUT ME UP DOWNTOWN.

I WALKED THAT DAY.

I WALKED AROUND A LITTLE BIT.

I GOT IN THE ARENA.

I WAS WITH MY CREW.

JUST GOING TO GO DOWN.

>> THE CURRENT WORLD WRESTLING

FEDERATION CHAMPION, MR. BOB

BACKLUND.

>> AT THAT POINT, BIG TITLE

CHANGES MIGHT OCCASIONALLY

HAPPEN ON ANOTHER PAY-PER-VIEW,

BUT IT WAS MOSTLY LIKE

WRESTLEMANIA AND SUMMERSLAM.

THESE ARE THE TIMES WE WERE

TRAINED TO THINK THAT THE WORLD

TITLE MIGHT CHANGE HANDS.

>> LOOK ME UP AND DOWN, BABY.

LOOK ME UP AND DOWN.

>> IT WAS THE MOST SHOCKING

THING EVER.

[BELL RINGS]

>> I WAS SO GREEN.

PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

MAYBE THEY DO.

DIESEL, WHEN HE WON, WHEN HE

BEAT BOB BACKLUND, DIESEL HADN'T

HAD 200 MATCHES.

>> MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

[CROWD CHEERS] >> NOVEMBER 26TH,

1994, "BIG DADDY COOL" HAS GOT

ONE THING TO SAY, THANK YOU.

>> SHAWN LOBBIED TO BE THE

CHAMPION.

NO HARD FEELINGS FOR ME OR HIM.

IT WAS JUST LIKE THAT.

I KNEW THAT THAT WAS SHAWN'S

DREAM.

IT WASN'T MINE.

>> I'M THE CHAMP.

ALL RIGHT.

STOP THE INSANITY >> LISTEN,

YOUR GAME PLAN [CROSSTALK] >> I

DON'T GOT NOTHING TO SAY.

>> HE'S GOING TO CELEBRATE RIGHT

NOW.

YOU HEARD HIM RIGHT THERE

[INDISTINCT] >> WE ALL GAVE HIM

THIS TO HAVE THAT MOMENT.

THOSE OF US, AGAIN, THAT WERE

WANTING TO DO THIS FROM THE

LITTLE BOY STANDPOINT, THAT'S

WHAT YOU DO.

IT'S THE BELT.

>> CONGRATULATIONS, BIG MAN.

>> THANKS, MAN.

>> YOU CAME, YOU SAW, AND YOU

[BLEEP] CONQUERED.

>> THANKS, BROTHER.

>> WAY TO GO, DADDY.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, BABY.

SOMEBODY STOP ME, PLEASE.

>> IT'S AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

IT'S AFFIRMATION.

IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHEN

YOU REALLY BEGIN TO REALIZE JUST

AS THE MOMENT WHERE YOU FEEL

LIKE THAT JEALOUSY'S GOING TO

SET IN, YOU'RE OVERCOME WITH,

"THAT'S GOT TO BE VERY COOL FOR

HIM."

IT'S WORKING TOO.

I GOT TO HELP WITH THAT.

>> LIKE THAT, BROTHER.

>> THANKS, MAN.

>> THAT'S THE HUG YOU'LL HAVE

FOR 20 YEARS.

>> CONGRATULATIONS.

>> THANKS.

>> LET'S GET IT, CHAMP.

>> I CAN REMEMBER IN THE GARDEN,

JUST TELLING HIM, "I WANT YOU TO

KNOW, I'M SORRY.

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS MOMENT.

THIS IS COOL."

AGAIN, YES.

WOULD I LIKE TO HAVE THIS SOME

DAY FOR ME?

YES.

I GOT TO TELL YOU, DON'T LET

ANYBODY START [BLEEP] BETWEEN

US.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU HEAR FROM

ANYBODY, I'M HAPPY FOR YOU.

LET'S GO FROM THERE.

>> CONGRATULATIONS.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANKS, GUYS.

>> THAT'S WHEN YOU KNOW

FRIENDSHIP WAS REAL.

>> CAN I REFER TO HIM AS KEVIN

ONE TIME?

>> YES.

>> WE'VE CALLED HIM KEVIN

BEFORE.

YOU MIND THAT, KEV?

>> NOT AT ALL.

>> THAT BE ALL RIGHT, MAN, I

JUST FIGURED.

>> YOU'RE HIS BUDDY MORE.

>> I WOULD, WOULDN'T I?

>> YES, YOU WOULDN'T CALL ME

DIESEL.

>> I ALWAYS HAVE, BUT IT WOULD

SLIP OUT IN SOMETHING.

>> I DON'T SEE IT, YOU MIGHT

EVEN CALL HIM DIESEL.

>> THAT'S STRAIGHTFORWARD, YOU

KNOW?

>> YES.

>> I'VE GOT NOTHING TO THINK

ABOUT, BUT YOU, "BIG DADDY

COOL", KEVIN, DIESEL, WHOEVER

YOU ARE.

SHAWN MICHAELS IS GOING TO HUNT

YOU DOWN.

>> I DON'T THINK THERE'S A

BETTER ATHLETE ON THE PLANET

THAN SHAWN MICHAELS.

ATHLETICISM, QUICKNESS,

TENACIOUSNESS, BUT THE THING IS,

I'M THE CHAMPION.

HEY, HE'S GOT TO TAKE THIS BELT

FROM ME.

I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO DO

IT.

>> I GOT NEWS FOR YOU, PAL.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE A DIME A

DOZEN.

SOMEBODY LIKE ME COMES ACROSS

ONCE IN A LIFETIME.

AT WRESTLEMANIA XI, THE FANS OF

THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION

ARE GOING TO SEE A ONCE IN A

LIFETIME PERFORMANCE OUT OF THE

HEARTBREAK KID.

>> IT IS TIME TO PUT UP OR SHUT

UP.

>> OH, YES.

OH, YES.

>> FIVE DAYS FROM NOW AT

WRESTLEMANIA XI, FOLKS, WWE

CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LINE.

"BIG DADDY COOL" DIESEL, THE

CLASS IN THE WORLD WRESTLING

FEDERATION SAYS HE'S ALL SET AND

READY TO TAKE ON SHAWN MICHAELS

AND SYCHO SID IF NEED BE.

>> THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU

SIT IN THE CAR WHEN YOU'RE

RIDING UP AND DOWN THE ROAD

DAYDREAMING ABOUT, "WOULDN'T IT

BE COOL YOU AND I WORKING WITH

EACH OTHER?"

THEN IT ALL GETS TO HAPPEN.

>> YOU COULD SEE WWE WAS TRYING

TO GET THEIR FOOTING IN THE '90S

TO FIGURE OUT WHAT POP CULTURE

WAS THEN AND WHAT WAS GOING TO

BE MEANINGFUL.

>> HERE IS HOME IMPROVEMENT'S

JONATHAN TAYLOR THOMAS.

NYPD BLUE'S NICHOLAS TURTURRO.

>> YOU COULD PROBABLY ALSO SEE

WWE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER

OR NOT SHAWN MICHAELS AND DIESEL

WERE ENOUGH TO CARRY A MAIN

EVENT MATCH.

THEY WEREN'T EVEN THE MAIN

EVENT.

THEY PUT LAWRENCE TAYLOR AND BAM

BAM BIGELOW AS THE LAST MATCH.

NORMALLY IN THIS SITUATION,

SOMEBODY LIKE SHAWN MICHAELS

WOULD PROBABLY BE MAD THAT HE

WASN'T IN THE MAIN EVENT.

I'M SURE THAT HE WAS.

NORMALLY YOU WOULD SAY SHAWN

MICHAELS AND WHOEVER HE WAS IN

THE MATCH WITH WOULD PROBABLY BE

LIKE, "ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO BURN THE HOUSE DOWN.

LET'S PUT ON A MATCH SO GOOD

THAT THEY CAN'T EVEN FOLLOW US."

>> THAT ASPECT OF IT WAS

PHENOMENAL.

I KNEW WE HAD A GOOD MATCH.

>> NOW WE WENT AFTER AND TORE IT

DOWN.

>> FOR THE RIDE.

SETTING UP MICHAELS NOW, OFF THE

RAIL.

BANG, BANG, AND DOWN.

>> YOU'RE WATCHING THE MATCH,

THEY'RE LIKE THE OPENING BAND

AND THE LEAD GUITARIST IS JUST

LIKE, "FORGET THE BAND.

I'M GOING TO PLAY A SOLO THAT

NOBODY'S EVER GOING TO FORGET."

HE CLIMBS UP ON AN AMP AND TURNS

IT UP AND JUST WAILS FOR 30

MINUTES.

>> LOOK AT MICHAELS.

LOOK AT THAT.

WHAT ABOUT THAT MANEUVER?

COME ON.

GIVE HIM CREDIT, MCMAHON.

>> WAIT A MINUTE, ON THE TOP, ON

THE TOP NOW.

MICHAELS, HIGH-RISK MANEUVER.

>> THAT'S IT.

>> UNBELIEVABLE CROSS BODY

PACKED FROM THE TOP.

>> YOU'RE LIKE, "THAT MIGHT'VE

BEEN THE MOST IMPRESSIVE FEAT I

HAVE EVER SEEN INSIDE A

WRESTLING RING."

IF YOU TOOK A MATCH WITH A BUNCH

OF CELEBRITIES ON THE OUTSIDE,

THAT WASN'T EVEN A MAIN EVENT,

AND TURNED IT INTO A REALLY

FANTASTIC MATCH.

>> LOOK IT-- OH, MY.

>> NO.

THAT'S IT.

>> I REMEMBER WRESTLEMANIA XI

WITH SHAWN VERSUS DIESEL.

>> WATCH THIS NOW.

>> TURN BUCKLE, NOT AGAIN.

>> "BIG DADDY COOL".

>> LOOK OUT, SHAWN.

>> REMEMBERED THINKING, "HOLY

COW, SHAWN CAN DO ANYTHING."

>> ON THE TOP.

>> HE'S GOT [INDISTINCT] >>

DOWN, SQUARELY IN THE RIBS.

>> THAT DID IT.

>> ONE THING THAT WAS GREAT WITH

SHAWN WAS HE WAS CREATING

EMOTION AROUND ME.

>> BACK TO THE NEW SIDE.

NOW DIESEL RIGHT ON TOP OF HIM.

OH, UNBELIEVABLE.

>> I THINK WE WERE SOME OF THE

FIRST GUYS THAT GOT THAT.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS THROW HIM,

CUT HIM OFF, PICK HIM UP, THROW

HIM IN THE CORNER.

>> MICHAELS, UP.

>> DO A SPIN AND LAND AND YOU

COULD PRETTY MUCH, BY THE TIME

YOU GOT DOWN TO THE OTHER SIDE

OF THE ROPES, AROUND THE RING

AND WALK TO HIM ONE OF YOU TWO

HAD SOME WAY TO GO.

>> STEPPING OVER THE TOP ROPE,

GOING RIGHT AFTER SHAWN

MICHAELS.

>> THERE'S A LOT OF SHIFT AND A

LOT OF CHANGE GOING ON IN THE

WRESTLING BUSINESS, AND

CERTAINLY AT THAT TIME I FELT

LIKE I WAS ONE OF THE GUYS

LEADING THAT CHARGE.

>> IT IS A WORK OF ART, RIGHT?

IT'S SUCH A THING OF BEAUTY WHEN

YOU SEE HIM GOING OUT THERE, BUT

IT WASN'T JUST THE HIGH SPOTS

THERE WERE ALL THESE MOMENTS

WHERE, IT'S SUPER WEIRD TO THINK

ABOUT IT.

KEVIN NASH HAS ABOUT A FOOT ON

SHAWN MICHAELS BUT IS PLAYING

LIKE BABYFACE IN PARALLEL AT

TIMES IN THIS MATCH.

IN STORYTELLING TERMS, YOU COULD

SEE WHAT KEVIN NASH AND WHAT

SHAWN MICHAELS BY EXTENSION

WE'RE DOING, WAS LIKE '80S MAIN

EVENT WWE SCHTICK.

[APPLAUSE] >> A KICK AND IT

CAUGHT HIM.

ONE, TWO, WOW.

OH MY GOSH.

>> THEN AS THE MATCH WENT ON, IT

STARTED BECOMING THE '90.

>> AND A REVERSAL.

MICHAELS GOES IN.

[APPLAUSE]

>> IT'S AN ART AND

THE GENESIS OF A LOT OF MY

TROUBLE WITH EVERYBODY WAS I

FELT WE WERE TRANSITIONING FROM

THE TRADITIONAL WAY THE

WRESTLING BUSINESS HAS ALWAYS

BEEN TO WHAT IT NEEDED TO BE.

WE WERE TRYING TO TELL THEM

ABOUT THE ATTITUDE ERA THREE

YEARS BEFORE IT EVER HAPPENED.

>> DIESEL NOW WITH SHAWN

MICHAELS AND JACKPOT, CAN HE

COVER IT?

ONE, TWO, THREE.

[APPLAUSE] [BELL RINGS] >> SHAWN

MICHAELS, AND OF COURSE SID,

IT'S THE DAY AFTER WRESTLEMANIA,

WAIST IS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD BUT

NO WWE CHAMPIONSHIP BELT.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

>> "BIG DADDY COOL", SINCE WE'RE

SUCH GOOD FRIENDS, I GRACIOUSLY

ACCEPT YOUR INVITATION TO A

REMATCH.

LOOK LIKE AS FAR AS SID IS

CONCERNED, I CAN LIVE MY LIFE

JUST FINE WITHOUT A BODY GUARD,

THANK YOU.

I'M GOING TO DO YOU A FAVOR, BIG

MAN.

IN THIS REMATCH, I'M GIVING YOU

THE NIGHT OFF.

[APPLAUSE] >> UNBELIEVABLE WHAT

HAS HAPPENED.

DURING THE BREAK, YOU WON'T

BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED.

I KNEW THIS GUY WAS GOING TO

FLIP SOONER OR LATER.

HE'S LIKE SHAWN MICHAELS, AND

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

>> SID SNAPPED.

>> THINGS STARTED TO GO FULL

CIRCLE.

IT WAS SUCH A GREAT STORY.

>> IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED

DOC, THE HEARTBREAK KID IS IN

THE PROCESS OF RIGHTING ALL THE

WRONGS IN HIS LIFE, AND IT IS

TIME FOR "BIG DADDY COOL" AND

THE HEARTBREAK KID TO MOVE ON TO

BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS.

>> SHAWN WAS A RHYMER.

WE WERE THE == WITH ALL THE

CHICKS.

HE WOULD SAY STUFF LIKE THAT AND

THEN WAS JUST LIKE, "TWO DUDES

WITH ATTITUDES."

>> TWO DUDES WITH ATTITUDES

OPPOSING YOKOZUNA AND

DAVEY BOY SMITH WHO

IS OFFICIALLY FOR THIS

NIGHT ONLY, A WWE TAG TEAM

CHAMPION.

>> I'M HERE A CONTINENTAL

CHAMPION, KEVIN'S A WWE

CHAMPION, YOU CAN'T HELP BUT

THINK ABOUT IT.

WELL, LOOK, THEY'VE GOT US

TOGETHER.

WE'RE TWO DUDES WITH ATTITUDES.

HAS ANYBODY EVER HAD ALL THE

TITLES BEFORE?

OH MY GOODNESS, HOW MUCH HEAT

WOULD WE HAVE?

>> WE KNOW THE HISTORY OF

MICHAELS AND THE WWE CHAMPION

"BIG DADDY COOL" DIESEL.

WE KNOW THEY WERE THE BEST OF

FRIENDS AND THEN FROM THERE WE

KNOW THAT FRIENDSHIP WAS BUSTED

RIGHT OPEN, BUT NOW, THEY ARE

BACK TOGETHER.

>> THAT'S OWEN HART, THAT'S OWEN

HART.

>> WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?

>> OH NO, COMING INTO THE RING

BUT DIESEL SHUT HIM ON A

TRINKET, WAIT A MINUTE,

[INDISTINCT] ONE, TWO, THREE.

>> NO.

[BELL RINGING] [APPLAUSE] >> WE

BEAT THE ILLEGAL GUY BUT AT THE

SAME TIME IT WAS THE PERFECT

PHOTO OP OF ME AND SHAWN HAVING

ALL THE GOLD THAT WAS AVAILABLE

AT THE TIME.

>> BING BANG BOOM BOB'S YOUR

UNCLE, KEVIN AND I HAVE ALL THE

CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THE WWE AND THE

LOCKER ROOM HATES US.

>> NO, WE'RE NOT ONLY TWO DUDES

WITH ATTITUDES, BUT WE'RE TWO

CHAPS WITH ALL THE STRAPES.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE TELL STORIES

ABOUT HOW THEY WERE STANDOFFISH

AT THE TIME, NOBODY LIKED THEM,

PEOPLE WOULD TALK ABOUT HOW THEY

WERE BAD FOR BUSINESS, THEY HAD

A BAD INFLUENCE ON EVENTS OR

WHATEVER.

I'M SURE ALL OF THAT IS TRUE.

>> SHAWN MICHAELS AND "BIG DADDY

COOL", TWO DUDES WITH ATTITUDES,

YOU CAN BET.

>> I'M SURE PROBABLY IT ALSO HAS

TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THEY

ARE ALL JUST HANGING OUT AND

CUTTING UP BACKSTAGE AND GETTING

OVER IN THE PROCESS.

I'M NOT SAYING EVERYBODY WAS

JEALOUS BUT IT HAD TO BE A

CONTRIBUTING FACTOR, RIGHT?

>> IN ANY OTHER LINE OF WORK OR

ANY OTHER TWO PERFECTLY NORMAL

HUMAN BEINGS COULD GO LIKE, "OH,

NO, WE DON'T NEED THAT."

WE RELISHED IT, WE THOUGHT, "OH

MY GOODNESS, HOW COOL WOULD THAT

BE?"

THAT WAS THE THING THAT I'D

GUESS YEARS LATER YOU LOOK AT

IT, THEY ARE COOL STORIES TO

TELL NOW, BUT IN REAL-TIME, YOU

SHOULDN'T ENJOY HAVING PEOPLE

HATE YOU AS MUCH AS WE DID.

>> HELLO, IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED

BY NOW, WE'RE THE CHAMPS.

WE DO WHATEVER WE WANT.

>> PHEW.

REALLY BAD DECISION TO GIVE

THOSE GUYS ALL THAT GOLD AT THAT

TIME BECAUSE THERE WAS NOWHERE

TO GO, UNFORTUNATELY.

YOU HAD TWO STRONG INDIVIDUALS

AND NOW YOU HAD THE TAG TEAM,

AND KEEPING THEM AS A TEAM, JUST

WASN'T GOING TO WORK, AND THAT

WASN'T A LONG-TERM GOAL, SO IT

WAS IN THE MOMENT DECISION.

>> AS A JADED OLD FAN, IT'S HARD

TO LOOK BACK AT SHAWN MICHAELS

AND DIESEL HOLDING THE WORLD

TITLE, THE IC TITLE, THE TAG

TEAM TITLES AND NOT JUST THINK

LIKE, WOW, THEY MUST HAVE HAD A

LOT OF PULL BACKSTAGE, RIGHT?

AT THE TIME, YOU'RE WATCHING IT

GROWING UP OR WHATEVER AND IT'S

LIKE, THESE TWO GUYS THEY'RE

JUST COOL.

HERO OR VILLAIN, BABYFACE OR

HEEL, THESE GUYS WERE COOL.

FOR A LOT OF OLD GENERATION OF

WRESTLING FANS THIS IS PROBABLY

THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU FOUND

YOURSELF CHEERING FOR A VILLAIN.

IT WAS BECAUSE THEY HAD COOL

HAIR AND SUNGLASSES AND THEY

DIDN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR RULES.

THEY DEFIED EXPECTATIONS IN SO

MANY WAYS.

>> I WAS A GROWN MAN.

I WAS 34, 35 YEARS OLD.

THIS TIMING, THIS IS GREAT.

I LOVE DOING THIS.

I WANT TO GET PAID.

>> IT'S ABOUT THE WWE

CHAMPIONSHIP BELT, TWO GREAT

COMPETITORS ARE CLASHING.

MY GOD, UNBELIEVABLE.

WAIT A MINUTE.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

HE DID IT.

>> NASH HAD DONE A LOT OF FAILED

GIMMICKS BEFORE HE WAS DIESEL.

WHEN HE CAME TO WWE, HE WASN'T

GOING TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, HE

WAS GOING TO THE ONLY BIDDER.

THERE WEREN'T A LOT OF PEOPLE

WHO WERE TRYING TO RECRUIT KEVIN

NASH AS WILD AS THAT MAY SEEM.

HULK HOGAN WAS ALREADY THERE IN

WCW, "MACHO MAN" RANDY SAVAGE,

THEY HAD STARTED SIGNING SOME OF

THE OLD GUARD OF PRO WRESTLING

AWAY FROM WWE.

KEVIN NASH WAS THE FIRST

CONTEMPORARY PRESENT TENSE STAR.

A STAR LIKE THIS GENERATION WHO

DECIDED TO GO EXPLORE HIS

OPTIONS.

HE WENT OUT AND SAW HOW MUCH

MONEY HE CAN MAKE FROM THE

COMPETITION, AND IT WAS A LOT OF

MONEY AND HE TOOK IT.

>> I WANT TO HAVE SEVERAL

MILLION DOLLARS.

I WANT TO HAVE SECURITY.

I WANT TO LIVE THE AMERICAN

DREAM.

>> WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE,

THERE IT GOES VINCE HE GOT IT.

HE GOT ALL OF IT.

MICHAELS HAS GOT ALL OF IT.

MICHAELS HAS GOT, FIVE, FOUR,

YES.

THE BOYHOOD DREAM HAS COME TRUE

FOR SHAWN MICHAELS.

>> IT JUST WAS AT THAT POINT,

SHAWN WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE

LIKE SHAWN WANTED, TO BE A

WRESTLER.

I WANTED TO BE WEALTHY.

>> GOODBYE DIESEL.

GET YOUR -- OUT OF HERE.

[CROWD CHEERS]

>> IT WAS PURELY

PERSONAL, IT'S JUST ALL ABOUT

YOUR BUDDIES AGAIN, WE SPEND SO

MUCH TIME TOGETHER AND THEY'RE

LEAVING.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, WHATEVER

TURNS INTO THIS HUGE KUMBAYA

MOMENT OR SOMETHING [CHUCKLES]

AND OF COURSE, THE PEOPLE THERE

ARE EATING IT UP AND THE

PERFORMER IN YOU SAYS, THEIR

MIND WILL KEEP GOING.

>> I WAS STANDING IN THE AISLE

WATCHING THE END OF THE MATCH

WHEN THE CURTAIN CALL TOOK PLACE

AND WATCHED IT ALL THE WAY

THROUGH TO SHAWN GETTING DOWN

AND KISSING DIESEL AND DIESEL,

MIRACULOUSLY COMING TO IN LESS

SHORTLY THEREAFTER.

I HATED IT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS DISRESPECTFUL.

YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT IT IN THE

MOMENT AND IN THE TIME IN WHICH

IT TOOK PLACE.

ME BEING AN OLD-SCHOOL GUY

ABSOLUTELY HATED IT.

[CROWD CHEERS] >> WAS IT A

MOMENT IN TIME THAT YOU SAW THE

WINDS OF CHANGE?

>> YES, SURE WAS.

BEING IN THE MOMENT, DURING THAT

TIME, NOT A FAN.

[MUSIC] >> FROM SHAWN'S

STANDPOINT, SHAWN IS LOOKING AT

ME AND SCOTT GOING, YOU

[BLEEP].

YOU GUYS, LET ME PUT YOU OVER

AROUND THE WORLD HAVE FIVE-STAR

MATCHES.

YOU GUYS ARE BOTH CASHING IN ON

IT AND YOU'RE TAKING TWO OF MY

FIVE BEST GUYS FOR ME NOT TO

WORK WITH.

I CAN HAVE A NINE-MONTH RUN WITH

EACH OF YOU TWO.

HE WAS PISSED.

HE HAD EVERY REASON TO BE.

>> I HEARD A LOT OF TALK BUT

WHERE'S THE WALK?

WHERE IS IT?

>> NOW HE SAID LAST WEEK THAT HE

WAS GOING TO BRING SOMEBODY OUT

HERE.

I'M HERE, BRING WHAT YOU GOT.

THE MEASURING STICK JUST CHANGED

AROUND HERE BUDDY.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT.

>> I WOULD SAY KEVIN LEARNED A

LOT FROM ME FROM THE INSIDE THE

RING PRO WRESTLING, THE ART.

>> THEY ARE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.

THAT'S THE GLUE THAT BINDS THIS

TAG TEAM TOGETHER AND NO DOUBT

THEY ARE ALSO TOGETHER.

>> I LEARNED A LOT FROM KEVIN

NASH ABOUT BUSINESS.

HE SAW MY LOVE AND MY PASSION,

MY DEDICATION AND MY LOYALTY TO

THIS JOB AND MY COMMITMENT AND

ALSO SAW THAT DUDE IF YOU'RE NOT

CAREFUL, THEY'LL TAKE EVERY BIT

OF THAT AND YOU'LL HAVE NOTHING

FOR YOU.

HE HELPED ME BALANCE THAT WITH

THE OTHER SIDE OF IT'S OKAY TO

GIVE ALL THAT SHAWN, BUT FOR THE

LOVE OF GOD, MAN, MAKE SURE YOU

GET YOURS AS WELL.

>> WOW, TWO DUDES WITH ATTITUDE

DEFINITELY SUMS UP SHAWN

MICHAELS AND KEVIN NASH DIESEL.

I THINK THAT WITHOUT SHAWN THAT

I'M NOT SURE THAT KEVIN WOULD

HAVE ROSE NEARLY AS QUICKLY AS

HE DID.

I THINK KEVIN HAD THE TYPE OF

PERSONALITY THAT HE WAS GOING TO

MAKE IT.

WOULD HE HAVE MADE IT AS QUICKLY

AS HE DID WITHOUT SHAWN?

I DON'T THINK HE WOULD HAVE AND

WOULD SHAWN HAVE BEEN AS BIG?

PROBABLY SO, BUT I THINK THAT

SHAWN WAS EVEN BIGGER AND HELPED

MAKE A LOT OF GUYS ALONG THE WAY

AND ONE OF THOSE AND PROBABLY

THE BIGGEST ONE THAT SHAWN MADE

WAS KEVIN NASH.

>> HEY, MY BOY.

>> EASY, EASY.

>> EASY, EASY.

YES.

>>THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANYBODY

THAT'S DONE SPORTS

ENTERTAINMENT, PRO WRESTLING,

GRAPPLING, CATCH, WHATEVER YOU

WANT TO CALL IT.

THERE'S NOBODY THAT WAS CLOSE TO

SHAWN MICHAELS.

>> I WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN

EIGHT SECONDS, I'LL DO MY

HOMEWORK BEFORE.

>>EXACTLY.

>>WITH THE SHORTEST MATCH OF ALL

TIME ON MY RECORD, BOSS, THIS

MAY BE THE COOLEST MATCH.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, I'D LIKE TO

SAY THANK YOU.

> THANK YOU.

>>OKAY.

>>GREAT MY WIFE.

>>I SPENT MORE TIME WITH THOSE

GUYS THAN I HAVE ANYBODY ELSE IN

THE WORLD.

LOOK, WE'RE ALL UNCOMFORTABLY

CLOSE.

>> IF SHAWN MICHAELS DOESN'T

PICK ME OF ALL THE OTHER GUYS,

SHAWN MICHAELS DOESN'T COME INTO

MY LIFE, THEN ALL THESE FRUITS

THAT I HAVE, ARE PROBABLY NOT

GOING TO BE THERE.

>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WWE

HALL OF FAMER, KEVIN NASH.

>> I'VE NEVER MET A PERSON IN MY

LIFE I WOULD RATHER BE THAN ME.

I'VE BEEN BLESSED, MAN.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY GUYS CAN

SAY THAT.

I DID WHAT I DID, MAN, I DON'T

HAVE ANY REGRETS, THEY DON'T GET

YOU ANY PLACE.

>> HE'S ALSO THE GUY THAT,

AGAIN, I WAS STILL STRUGGLING

TWO YEARS INTO MY MARRIAGE.

THE END OF 2001 OR THE BEGINNING

OF 2002 I CALLED HIM IN A STUPOR

I BELIEVE AND THEN THE NEXT DAY

I CALLED HIM BACK LIKE, "HEY,

MAN, I'M SORRY.

I CALLED YOU LAST NIGHT."

HE SAID, "YES, YOU WERE A LITTLE

BIT OUT OF IT."

HE'S LIKE, "DUDE, YOU'VE GOT A

WIFE AND KID NOW.

YOU'VE GOT TO STOP TAKING THAT

STUFF.

GET YOUR [BLEEP] TOGETHER.

I LOVE YOU, BUT GET YOUR

[BLEEP] TOGETHER."

48 HOURS TALKING TO HIM, TALKED

TO HUNTER, TALKED TO OLD JESUS

UPSTAIRS, MY WIFE AND EVERYBODY

ELSE, BETWEEN ALL OF US WE

DECIDED I'D GET MY [BLEEP]

TOGETHER AND CHANGE THE REST OF

MY LIFE.

NEVER LOOKED BACK SINCE.

[MUSIC]
