Shawn Michaels is poolside saying he has heard Jeffrey Jarrett has issued an open challenge, and that Memphis doesn't deserve a star of his calibre coming in, but that he'll do it anyway, just to teach Jeffrey Jarrett a lesson. Shawn is awesome here.

Shawn is gloriously obnoxious, from calling Jeff 'Jeffrey' to the way he even chews his gum. And sitting poolside with the Intercontinental belt is fucking great.

 

I've seen a bunch of early 90s douchebag Michaels promos, but I don't remember any being this good.

Whose idea was it to do that split screen? It really distracted me from the promo, and it had nothing to do with Jeff or the upcoming match; it was just a random Michaels video package that they could have shown at any other time. It's a shame, because Shawn is at his cockiest here and deserved everyone's undivided attention.

 

This promo makes me wish that the WWF acknowledged Memphis within the body of its own shows. Shawn making an open challenge for Mania and having Jeff come out of the crowd and take him to the limit sounds so much better than a match with Tatanka, especially if the USWA is mentioned prominently. Of course, that would have meant explaining why Lawler's such a jerk on WWF TV and a hero in Memphis, but I'm sure Vince would have figured out something.

 

Were the WWF guys in Vegas for Mania already, or did they just shoot this promo by a random poolside? Either way, it was an inspired choice.
