"I've never lied to you before, and I never will"

Vince McMahon: "For those of you who feel that Vince McMahon was behind the BRUTAL attack last Monday when the Undertaker leveled Austin with a shovel, I had nothing to do with it. I categorically deny those accusations, and as you all know, I don't lie. I've never lied to you before, and I never will. When I guarantee something, you know you can take it to the bank. Now, in just a moment, we will name a NEW WWF Commissioner, and why? Because, everything that I do, everything that my family does, we do for you (fans). I know we disagree sometimes, I know we disagree, but from the bottom of my heart, everything that we do, we do for you.

Commissional Slaughter has GRACIOUSLY decided to step aside, so that the World Wrestling Federation can advance - so that the World Wrestling Federation can have an independent freethinker at the helm, who does not answer to Vince McMahon. This commissioner will not answer to me. This commissioner will have full rights and privileges to treat each and every WWF superstar with equality and dignity. The only exception to the rule will be Stone Cold Steve Austin - he's mine. I will make all decisions as it relates to Mr. Austin. So without further ado, the McMahon Family proudly presents to you, ladies and gentlemen, the new WWF Commissioner - the ONLY Grand Slam winner here in the World Wrestling Federation - he is the Heartbreak Kid, SHAWN MICHAELS!"

Shawn Michaels: "Well, VinMan, or is it MISTER VinMan? Regardless, sir, I'd like to thank you for this opportunity. The Heartbreak Kid is THRILLED to be back in the ring in one form or another. Now, as a token of my appreciation, and as the NEW commissioner of the World Wrestling Federation, *I* can be the one guaranteein' stuff around here, and I can guarantee you [zeigt auf Vince] that things will NEVER be the same around here again. [Jubel] Now, in an effort, JR, if I may steal a line of yours, in an effort to add a little bit more sizzle to tonight's steak, Mr. VinMan, may I book my first match, right here, right now? [Vince nickt] Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, right here in this very ring, for the World Wrestling Federation Championship - the current Champion, the Rock, will defend against ... D-Generation X member X-Pac! Hit the music!"
