The Undertaker’s gong hits and he makes his way to the ring. Michael Cole aptly describes it as the most awe-inspiring thing in all of sports entertainment. The fans chant for the Deadman before he speaks.
Undertaker says, “They say delusion is the final recourse for the damned, that no man can spin a web of lies like a man that has a broken soul. And I have never seen anyone with a more broken soul than Triple H.” Undertaker mentions that Triple H was out last week telling the world that Undertaker has lost his self-respect. Delusion will be his downfall. There was a time with Triple H when he was wicked, savage, a warrior… but these days, he tends to play a more corporate game. His battlefield is the boardroom. His life is so filled with lies that he can no longer decipher truth. He can’t see the fear in his own friend’s eyes, and he can’t see his own demise. Undertaker puts no stock in what any man thinks. Undertaker knows that when he faces Triple H for the last time, the result will be just like the first time. Undertaker will put him six feet under. Game over.
He says Triple H will do everything he can to outrace the reaper, including enlisting Shawn Michaels. Let Triple H have his deceit, delusion, and his best friend Shawn Michaels. Right there is where the devil is in the details. Undertaker says that Shawn Michaels is not going to go all the way to Australia to sit in the audience and watch this fight. He’s going to be standing in Triple H’s corner. Undertaker is ok with that because standing in his corner will be his brother, Kane – which gets a huge pop from the crowd. He says everyone knows that he took Shawn Michaels’ career, and he’ll do the same to Triple H’s career, but it seems that he deserves far worse. Not only will he take his career, he’ll take his soul and put him down. At WWE Super Show-Down, with his brother of destruction watching his back, Triple H will rest in peace.
