What happened on the day you joined Rivals?

Wednesday August 29, 2001.

The Dow closed at 10,090 (plunging below 10,000 the next day--I hope TJC hung in there and rode it out).

April 2nd, 2007 -- Dayton, OH

We begin tonight's show with the WWE Heavyweight Champion and one half of the World Tag Team Champions, John Cena coming to the ring and he has a mic. John allows the fans to cheer or boo as they wish before talking. Cena holds up the title belts and proclaims that the champ is here. Before Cena can continue, the other half of the World Tag Champions, Shawn Michaels comes out to the ring. Shawn repeats what John Cena said and he says that it is like reliving a bad dream. Michaels says that this is usually the time when he comes out and talks about the awesome match that they had and once again the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels…The Showstopper and his opponent made history. Shawn says that their match was not about screw jobs, mind games, or massive egos…brother. It was not about who got cheered and who got booed. It was not about a handshake to show good sportsmanship. It was about winning and losing. John Cena won and he lost. Michaels says that he does not like it. He is sick and tired of coming out and looking guys in the eye and extending a hand and lying about them being the better man. Shawn says that ends tonight. Michaels tells Cena that he might have won last night, but he is not the better man. Cena says that Shawn can get angry, but if Shawn is questioning his manhood, that sounds like a challenge. Cena tells Michaels any time, any place. Shawn says that he is currently not busy and he has nowhere else to be but in Dayton, Ohio . Michaels suggests right now. Jonathan Coachman comes out and he has something to say. Coach says that per Mr. McMahon, the WWE championship will not be defended tonight. He says that Cena and Michaels are forgetting something. He reminds them that they are the tag team champions despite their differences. They will be defending the Tag Titles tonight. Coach says that there is a twist. Coach says that he contacted all of the brands. They will be competing in a ten team, twenty man over the top rope battle royal. The match begins right now.

It was epic.

I always found it funny that the news in Chicago would report on Enron, then kick it to Tom Skilling (Jeff's brother) to give the forecast. Had to be so tough.
