Raw, May 1, 2006 – Kane vs Rob Conway

This match was just on one of those days when HBK was up to no good. HBK walked in wearing a shirt peppered with the date – May19. May 19th is supposedly the day that Kane burned down his parents house with them in it. Micheals instead put the shirt on Rob Conway after he low blowed him and then made him wear the shirt. After Kane hammered Conway and started to leave the ring, Michaels uttered the date again and then place the mike on Conway
