Like Old Times
Raw, 9/27/04
Washington D.C
In the states capital, Triple H and Shawn Michaels got comfy in their new D-Generation X locker room. Shawn was sitting on a couch with headphones on listening to his new Garth Brooks CD. Triple H, on the other hand, was running around like a chicken that just lost its head. "What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?" He shouted. Shawn just looked at him, nodded his head in disappointment, and turned up the volume on his music.
Triple H left the room and then returned with a CD player. He plugged it in and got out a CD. Shawn had his eyes closed and seemed to be dozing off, when all of a sudden a loud blast of music made the whole room vibrate. The vibrations were so bad that Shawn's headphones flew off his head and he fell off the chair. Triple H watched helplessly as Shawn landed hard on his ass on the floor.
"What are you doing?! Good grief, Trips! Lower it, will you?" Shawn shouted with his hands over his ears. Triple H, on the other hand, began playing air guitar. "Hell no, Shawn! This is great!" He shouted and continued running around. Shawn sat there and stared at him with nothing in mind to say.
"What kind of music is this?!" Shawn finally shouted. He was surprised Triple H even heard him because the music was so loud. "It's Alternative Rock, Shawn! Linkin Park, man! It's their song 'One Step Closer!' You never heard of it? Man, you need to let go of your damn Garth Brooks CDs!" Triple H shouted back.
William Regal and Eugene came into the locker room and automatically covered their ears. Shawn threw a sneaker at the CD player, which stopped playing. "What was that horrible noise?!" William shouted. "No, it's not noise William, its Linkin Park!" Eugene shouted at William. "There we go. At least somebody listens to the hit list. Eugene, you are so damn awesome!" Triple H shouted.
Vince McMahon came in the D-X locker room. "Well, are you guys ready to find out who's coming back? Raw starts in 5 minutes, and you two are on first. Is that MY CD player?!" Vince shouted. "Ask him." Shawn simply stated and pointed to Triple H. "Now, Master Michaels, it's rude to point!" William shouted. "Uh…Um… I got it from Shane… Who, by the way, said something about you actually owning it… But he didn't touch on that subject too much… All he said was…" Triple H innocently stated, but he was cut off by Vince.
"Whatever. You two better get out there." Vince stated. Shawn nodded and started his way down the hall. "Wait for me!!!!!" Triple H shouted and chased after him. Triple H caught up with Shawn by the entrance way for the TitanTron. Vince popped out of nowhere. He walked past a confused D-X and made his way to the ring. Some fans were cheering, others were booing.
"I didn't come out here to clown around. I want D-Generation X down here right now!" Vince shouted. Fans exploded out of their seats once they heard D-X's song echo over the loudspeakers. Triple H and Shawn Michaels made their way down to the ring. They faced Vince, and they never attempted to goof around.
"We're out here, Vince. Let's get down to business." Triple H announced. "I just wanted to say that tonight a superstar will be returning to the WWE to re-join D-Generation X. I'll see you two goofy idiots later." Vince stated and tried to leave, but Shawn stopped him. "Wait, that's all you wanted to tell us? What was the whole point of being serious?" Shawn asked.
"You two better start showing me some respect!" Vince screamed. Triple H looked at Shawn with a smile on his face. "This seems familiar…" Triple H whispered in Shawn's ear. "Ok, Vince. We'll start showing you some respect. SUCK IT!" Shawn shouted, as he taunted Vince. Vince went to go punch Shawn or Triple H, but they both ran out of the ring and went backstage to their locker room.
"So, what do you want to do?" Shawn asked Triple H. "I have no clue… How about we blast music?!" He shouted. Shawn was about to answer, but there was a knock on the door. He got up and opened it. Chris Benoit stood outside.
"What's up, Chris?" Triple H asked Chris Benoit. "Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to know… Shawn… You told me that any time I needed your help you'd be there for me. Do you still mean it?" Chris asked. Shawn looked at Triple H, then back at Chris Benoit. Triple H hoped Shawn would remember saying it. "Yeah, I meant it. Why, what's wrong?" Shawn asked.
"I'm having a match later on tonight against three of Raw's worst nightmares. Batista, Kane and Tyson Tomko. I don't have any tag partners. If you guys aren't doing anything, can you possibly help me?" Chris asked. "Well, we aren't doing anything…" Triple H thought out loud. "Sure, we'll help you. Keep this a secret though, ok?" Shawn asked. Chris nodded his head.
"Thank you so much!" He shouted and hugged Shawn, then left. Triple H and Shawn went into the hall to see Chris Benoit skipping down the hall singing 'I have tag partners and you don't know who they are, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah!' "What a nut..." Shawn stated as he went back into the locker room. "We're really going to tag with him?" Triple H asked as Shawn nodded his head in response.
About 15 minutes later, Chris Benoit came back to the D-X locker room and knocked on the door. This time, Triple H opened it. "What's wrong?" He asked. "The match is starting in 10 minutes… Where's Shawn?" Chris asked.
"Snoozing on the couch. Do you want to come in?" Triple H asked Chris. "Um, sure. Is he ready for the match?" Chris asked. Triple H nodded his head and sat on the other couch.
"When you asked Shawn that question before, I had no clue if he was going to answer you," Triple H started, mostly out of nowhere. "What do you mean?" Chris asked. "He told you about him having your back earlier this year, I wasn't sure if he was going to remember saying it… I guess he did, though…" Triple H told him.
"I almost forgot about the…" Chris was just about to say 'amnesia' when Shawn woke up and looked at him. "Almost match time?" He asked and then yawned. "We still have a few minutes. But I think we should start heading towards the ramp." Triple H replied. Shawn got up and ran around looking for his wrist tape.
"What are you looking for?" Chris asked. "My wrist tape. I don't remember where I put it." Shawn shouted. Triple H and Chris looked at each other and then at Shawn. "Borrow mine. I don't know where you put it either. Knowing you, you must've forgotten it somewhere." Triple H told him and gave him his wrist tape.
Shawn, Chris and Triple h were heading to the entrance way when they saw EMT's rushing to the ring. "What happened?" Triple H asked Sergeant Slaughter. Shawn wanted to scream out 'Chin man' so bad, but he held back on it. "McMahon was attacked by Christian and Tyson Tomko," Sarge answered. "Which McMahon? Details, Chin man, details!" Shawn shouted. "Shane, you dimwit! What other McMahon would be at ringside," Sergeant Slaughter paused for a moment to process what Shawn had said. "And why do you still call me Chin man?!" Sarge shouted at Shawn.
"Why did they attack Shane? What did he do to them?" Chris asked. "Who knows? Shane was the ref for this match, but it's obvious that Christian or Tyson Tomko wants to send a message to a certain person." Sarge stated and looked at Shawn. "Ok, I get your point." Shawn stated and went onto the ramp. "Where the hell is he going?!" Triple H shouted and chased after him, closely followed by Chris Benoit.
"What's the deal here, guys? Why are you attacking Shane-O? What did he do to you?" Shawn shouted over a mic he swiped from a stage hand. "Stay out of this, Michaels! You'll soon get your fate at Survivor Series!" Christian shouted. "Why should we stand around here and watch you beat on Shane?" Chris asked. Another ref, Earl Hebner, was trying to get Christian out of the ring. "We have another match to start. Get out." He stated, and Christian left the ring, avoiding the ramp and going backstage the other way. D-X and Chris Benoit went back behind the curtains.
Backstage, Shawn, Triple H and Chris made sure Shane was ok. "You sure, bro?" Triple H asked. "Perfectly fine. Get out there and kick some ass." Shane responded. Once Kane and Batista went to the ring, Chris came out. He was followed by D-Generation X, his surprise tag team partners. Tyson was rather surprised, but soon figured he can use this to his advantage.
Shawn started the match off against Kane. He remembered his match against Kane at Unforgiven quite well, though Triple H didn't believe he remembered it. Kane gave Shawn quite an upper-cut, and Shawn fell backwards, tagging in Chris Benoit as he did so. Chris was able to make Kane tag Batista in. Batista power-bombed Chris, who crawled to Triple H and tagged him in.
Triple H and Batista faced off for several minutes, constantly locking up. Each man was able to read the other like a book. They nailed one another with a clothesline, knocking both men down. Batista tagged Tyson Tomko, and Triple H tagged in Shawn Michaels. Shawn, who seemed to be gaining energy from the crowd, attacked Tyson with speedy and powerful moves. Shawn was about to dropkick Tyson, but his move was well scouted, and Tyson threw Shawn head first into the turn buckle.
Shawn, who was now busted open, dropkicked Tyson into his corner and tagged in Triple H. Tyson tagged in Batista, and the two ex-partners battled each other for the second time in one night. Triple H hit Batista with the Pedigree. He was about to cover him when Kane came in and interrupted the count. Chris ran in and put Kane in the Crippler Crossface. Tyson ran in and attempted to get Chris off of Kane, but he received some Sweet Chin Music from Shawn Michaels.
Chris released his hold on Kane, who rolled out of the ring in agony. Triple H delivered another Pedigree to Batista, and covered him for the three count. Shawn, Chris and Triple H celebrated their victory, but were soon interrupted by Vince McMahon.
"Congratulations on your victory, guys. I know everyone is anxious to see who is returning to re-join D-Generation X, so I won't keep you waiting anymore. Everybody, please give it up for the Ninth Wonder of the World! CHYNA!" Vince shouted to wild applause as Chyna walked onto the ramp.
"It can't be… No way…" Triple H whispered. Shawn took one look at Chyna and collapsed to the ground. "Vain dude," Chris started as he knelt down to revive his friend. "Shawn? Are you ok? Wake up, man, this isn't funny." Chris complained. Shawn looked at Chris. He stood up and walked up to the top of the ramp with Triple H close behind.
"Nice to see you again, Shawn," Chyna started. "Hey Chyna! Great to have you back." Shawn stated and hugged her. Triple H joined Shawn and Chyna. "Chyna? You're back! And it's really you this time!" Triple H shouted and hugged Chyna. "Who else would it be, Paul? Nice to see you to." Chyna stated.
Shawn got a mic from J.R and Jerry Lawler. "Let's have Chyna remember the good old days! So," Shawn got closer to Triple H so both of their voices could be heard over the mic. "Let's get ready to suck it!" They shouted, and the fans were more than happy to join in.
Shawn, Triple H and Chyna hugged and went backstage to their locker room. "I couldn't believe it when Vince told me D-X was back! I asked him if I could return to the WWE to join, and he said I'm more then welcome! I was so excited. You guys haven't changed much. How's Cameron, Shawn?" Chyna asked. "He's good. You haven't changed much, either." Shawn replied. Triple H was happy to see Chyna back, but it seemed as it pained Shawn in a way.
Chyna was taken back when she saw how sloppy the D-X locker room was. She went off to clean it, so Triple H decided to talk to Shawn. "You ok, Shawn?" Triple H asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" Shawn replied.
"It seems as if it hurts you to see Chyna back," Triple H started. He looked at Shawn, who was wide-eyed. "I'm happy that Chyna's back. I just have a huge head-ache. My face hurts and my eyes hurt. Why wouldn't I be happy?" Shawn asked. "I don't know. But, I'm glad to see her back. D-X wouldn't be D-X without Chyna here." Triple H told Shawn.
"Hey, guys," Chyna shouted to get Shawn and Triple H's attention. "I'm glad to be back." She stated. "We're glad to have you back, Chyna. I was just telling Shawn that D-X wouldn't be D-X without you." Triple H told Chyna. "I'm the woman in D-Generation X! Not Chyna," Shawn shouted, making Chyna and Triple H chuckle. "We're D-Generation X. And if you're not down with us, we got two words for ya…" Shawn started. "Suck it!" Chyna, Shawn and Triple H shouted together.
So, it was just like the good old days. The original D-Generation X was back in business. Together, Chyna, Shawn and Triple H were ready to do anything to shock the fans.
