Shawn Michaels
- Sean Mooney: With me now, the reigning Intercontinental Champion. Shawn Michaels, during the past month, we have witnessed an incredible turn of events in your life. Conspicuous by her absence, your manager Sensational Sherri, who right now is recovering from injuries she suffered during a confrontation you had with Marty Jannetty. And many believe it was you, to save yourself, who pulled Sensational Sherri
- Shawn Michaels: [interrupting] That's a lie.
- Sean Mooney: In front of a charging Marty Jannetty.
- Shawn Michaels: That... that is... that is a bold-faced lie.
- Sean Mooney: Well nonetheless, without your manager, less than two weeks ago you captured the Intercontinental title from what seemed to be an invincible British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith. And tonight here at the Survivor Series, you face a man many believe is the greatest scientific wrestler of all time, Bret "the Hitman" Hart. And he is, indeed, a fighting champion. During his short tenure, he has defended the title more than any man in World Wrestling Federation history.
- Shawn Michaels: You wanna talk history there, Sean Mooney? Let's talk a little history, okay? Who is the man that beat Bret Hart at SummerSlam for the Intercontinental title?
- Sean Mooney: Well, the British Bulldog.
- Shawn Michaels: That's right. Now, who is the man that defeated the British Bulldog, quite easily I might add, to become the new WWF Intercontinental champ?
- Sean Mooney: Well, you did. Everyone knows
- Shawn Michaels: [interrupting again] That's right, me. Now, for all you mathematical geniuses out there, one and one make two. Two belts. See, when I signed for this match, Hitman, I knew I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Your belt's on the line, mine stays right here. So tonight, all over the world, the last thing the people will hear is "Ladies and gentlemen, Shawn Michaels, the Intercontinental Champion and new World Wrestling Federation champion, has left the building."
