but i think you know you were great in  those sporadic appearances that you did throughout the 2000s um i wanted to  know about when you faced triple h okay how that came about you see i always  tell people it's like the movie rocky they make a club elaine was that his name he  fought the third one what was the first one they didn't want apollo creed to wrestle a  champion they get the underdog the underdog gets the biggest matches i'd be look at this i'd  be warrior i'd be triple h i want to ba
ttle royal madison square garden i wrestled in the main event  against shawn michaels with china and uh china on the outside of the ring and hunter and he was  kicking out like on two and a half in madison square garden sold out i'll never forget that  because vince said shamrock was supposed to win the battle royal and the battle royal uh shamrock  got hurt he like hurt his sternum so the agents go in there and they go oh chevrolet can't rustle he  can't wrestle he cannot win the battle royal i
'm in the room with him he go he looks at me he goes  put the brooklyn brawler over his low beginning he advertised the winner of the battle royal  wrestlers world champion in the next garden show i and i come out i tell them i tell the agents they  go you'll never get that match in a million years you'll never get it you levy so i walk into  vince's room like i was notorious for the knocking to walk in and i say vince i had no idea  how much i did i had no idea that you advertised the winner of
the battle royal uh wrestles in  a world championship match next card so he goes he looks at me again he goes you got your match i  mean with that kind of that kind of voice so then the guardians running two months after that  so in between that is the montreal screwjob so now i'm supposed to wrestle brett for in the  main event madison square garden which he was on board and everything now after man after the macho  school job shawn's shawn's the uh the champion so sean is not the sean of toda
y today he's  religious he's kind he's just then he was cocky and very arrogant he'll tell you to who he  was so i was i was afraid to even say it to him i told him let's squash the idea let's watch the  idea so i'm sitting at the bar with scolding sean comes into the bar he goes hey you know you're  wrestling this garden show this guy right here i said i'm dead now now i'm good she looks at me  goes oh my god can you leave [ __ ] can you super can you do this can you do that anything you want 
and he didn't and he did he made me look like a million dollars and it was the first day of uh  dx so hunter was there so it was like i'm i'm he he reflux me i i turn around i punch him in  the face and take some i punch her in the face again uh hunter comes up to the apron i punch  him in the face and then china comes in i was i was he made me look like superman my whole  family's in the audience there's 20 000 people and uh it was one of the greatest matches it  wasn't televised but i recordin
gs have come out with it i know i cannot i'm amazed at the way  i was moving with sean i was faster i was quicker i mean because i you know what it's like when  you throw a guy to the turnbuckle you do that thing you do and he lays on the top and you  kick him in the stomach on two or three times then he gives himself a ball shot and he and then  i take the ropes and i straggle the ropes then he bumps up out and he comes in my clothesline and  i'm like holy [ __ ] this is like a main event it is
a main event we're going to take we're going  to take a walk in the dressing room and he seen me on the top of the sheet and he seen him underneath  me this is exactly what he said what's this [ __ ] i'm i'm on top and he's underneath me now but uh i had a hell of a career like i  had a hell of a career hell of a career
