. And batista I just want to say that im sorry. I really screwed it up for you.”JR:”.Wow, I can’t believe hhh is apologizing to batista!!”
HHH:” But I won’t apologize to what I will do to edge…next week at the Royal Rumble.[/B]You see…this title represents what hhh is made up. Riches and gold can easily
Represent me. But what describes me more is all the blood…the sweat and the
Tears that went into what I am today. And noone is going to take this from me.
I don’t care who you are. You can be the rock you can be the undertaker,
Benoiot, Jericho, and Austin I’ve beaten them all. Edge will be nothing more than
Just another name to the list of people that I have ahhnialated. And at the
Rumble…he will be no different than all of the people who tried me. So, edge…
