RAW AND BEYOND
On February 20, 2006, Shawn Michaels was pitted against the Spirit Squad in their in-ring debut. The match ended up going both ways and Michaels was able to counter repeated assaults by the Spirit Squad team members. After he had connected with the Sweet Chin Music, Michaels was attacked by all five members until an unknown man came storming in to the ring to defend Michaels. During the melee, it was revealed that it was Marty Jannetty coming to defend his friend and former tag team partner. Later on RAW, Vince McMahon came out to mention that he'd offer Marty a full-time contract and had initially said that the deal was done. However, Mr. McMahon added a stipulation; Marty had to join Mr. McMahon's "Kiss My Ass Club" the following week on RAW. The next week on RAW, Marty Jannetty refused to kiss Mr. McMahon's ass, and McMahon instead offered Marty the opportunity of breaking Chris Masters' submission hold, the Master Lock. Marty appeared to almost break the hold, but Mr. McMahon (who was officiating) delivered a low blow, and Marty was never able to break it, only being released when Shawn Michaels ran in to save him. Shortly after Michaels had saved Marty, Shane McMahon ran in the ring with a steel chair and knocked Michaels out. Shane proceeded to pick up Michaels and then forced him to kiss Mr. McMahon's ass.
