But after being married to him for almost ten years, she’s tough and will be okay. He went home to take care of his wife and kids he really tried to look at it like a rational human being. That Y2J didn’t mean to hit his wife. Then they sat down to watch RAW and listened to him brag about what he did and he no remorse. He didn’t send in a letter of resignation because over 20 years he’s earned the right to thank the fans. He didn’t realize that saying goodbye would be so hard, that’s why his wife was with him. She was there to life him up and support him as she has for the past ten years. And she got punched in the face for it. Y2J about blamed her for getting hurt. “HBK” chants. HBK turned to his wife, looked into her eyes and he knew, he knew that he wasn’t going anywhere. The fans erupt!
Suddenly there’s huge heat because Y2J is on the tron with a pissy ‘I’m five and didn’t get my candy bar’ look. He says HBK is lucky that Y2J isn’t there. People are afraid of what Y2J would do to HBK if he was there. The last time they faced each other he destroyed HBK, tore him apart. Then next time HBK won’t leave the ring. HBK is selfish and evil. He’d sue Y2J and WWE, take the whole company down.
HBK rips off his jacket and gets on his knees. He says he wants the match because he’d go to jail if he did what he wanted to outside the ring. He’ll sign anything. No rules, no constrictions, no liabilities. He doesn’t want anyone responsible for what he’s going to do to Y2J, except him.
Y2J says that he’s the one who will do anything. Look at HBK’s eye, look at his wife. He’ll destroy HBK.
HBK cuts in and asks if he’s going to accept the match or is his wife tougher than Y2J?
Y2J accepts. He says to not allow his wife and kids to watch the match, they’ll be horrified. At Unforgiven...
HBK says Y2J doesn’t know the meaning of the words unforgiven. HBK says he’s not looking to pin Y2J’s shoulders to the mat or care about stealing the show. He wants and eye for an eye.
