A Match Is Made

<Owen Hart’s theme music plays and he makes his way to the ring with his newly won WWF Championship.>

Jerry Lawler “And here’s our new WWF Champion.>

Jim Ross “And what a match that was!”

<Owen poses on all four turnbuckles with the belt and ticker tape starts to come down. He grabs a mic but before he can speak Shawn Michael’s music hits.>

Jim Ross “What in the hell does Shawn Michaels want?”

HBK “Hey Owen, congratulations you beat the Showstoppa. You finally became a winner in your life. You even made HBK TAP OUT!”

Jim Ross “Your damn right he did Shawn.”

HBK “But Owen it won’t last. You see I don’t know if you noticed but I also won a match last night: the Royal Rumble. And at Wrestlemania it’ll be me and you one on one for the WWF Championship and Owen you can’t make HBK tap out twice!”

Jerry Lawler “In two months time it’ll be Owen Hart Vs Shawn Michaels in the ultimate re-match for the WWF Championship.”

Winner: Goldust

<Commercial Break.>

Crumbling Nation

<The camera’s switch to the back and D’lo and Kama arguing.>

Kama “D’lo you little punk, all you’ve been doing is screwing over The Nation recently. First you pin me in a match, then you eliminate me and Rocky from the Rumble!”

D’lo “HEY all those situations where fair play. The match I wanted to win, same goes for the Rumble, there’s nothing wrong with that. But you slapping the taste out of my month and stealing our tag team victory now that was unforgivable.”

Kama “I’ll slap you into next week you punk.”

D’lo “You do that again and I swear I won’t listen to anyone not even Rocky: I will beat the crap out of you!”

<Both men staredown until Rocky shows up.>

Rocky “GUYS! This is bullshit. McMahon is in charge, DX are all-powerful, Austin’s gunning for me, and you guys can’t even back me up. I need That Nation and especially tonight against that jabroni Shamrock.”

Kama “Don’t worry I got your back tonight Rocky.”

D’lo “Damn so have I but this ain’t over!”

Jim Ross “The Nation has some serious issues to sort out.”

Jerry Lawler “But everything Rocky tries Austin destroys.”

DX Has McMahon’s Number

<DX’s music plays and Triple H makes his way to the ring, shoulding proudly his European Title. Chyna follows in behind and Triple H spits some water vapour in the air before entering the ring. Chyna grabs Triple H a mic.>

Jerry Lawler “I wonder what Triple H has to say?”

Triple H “McMahon, DX are damn sick and tired of you screwing us around. You tried your damndest to make me lose my European Title. And you succeeded in costing Shawn Michaels his World Title. So guess what McMahon? You gonna learn that when you mess with DX, DX messes with you, and you don’t want that. All I got to say for now McMahon is SUCK IT!”

Jerry Lawler “I don’t know J.R but it don’t sound too good!”

<A hype video for DX is played.>

Jim Ross “TAKA looked different tonight “King” I think he’s determined to win that Light Heavyweight Championship back!”

Jerry Lawler “Hey we all know that Brian Christopher will be crowned the new Light Heavyweight Champion!”

You Just Made An Enemy

<Vince McMahon’s music plays and he walks down to the ring mic in hand.>

Jim Ross “McMahon looks like he means business.”

Vince “DX, you think you can intimidate me? You think I’m going to crumble at you threats. DX you don’t want to mess with Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Anybody who ever has not come out the other end a winner. Shawn last night you enter and won a Rumble you shouldn’t even have been a part of. You assaulted a member of the locker room and you need to be punished. So tonight Shawn you will have a match, and if you fail to win this match then your Rumble victory will be stripped. Shawn tonight you have to face THE UNDERTAKER!”

Jim Ross “Oh my, goodness King, how is HBK going to survive that?”

Just read through this for the first time. And I am pretty impressed with it, however I think you could spend a little more time writing things up as sometimes a single word is missed, making the sentance hard to understand. I am loving the d-X v The World scenario that you're painting. Hopefully come WrestleMania Shawn won't injure himself to take time off (like in real life), as I really wanted to see how d-X would have been done after Mania. HBK chasing Austin etc. As much as I love HBK, Owen as champ is great too. Kudos my friend.

Monday 24th January 2004 – Arizona

<The show opens and we are taken to Paul Bearer standing in the ring next to a picture of Undertaker and behind a stand.>

Rest In Peace Undertaker

Bearer “Last week was a very special week in WWF history. Last week we saw the ending of dominate force and the beginning of a new one. Last week KANE usurped Undertaker and took his place as the unstoppable force of the WWF. Nothing will stand in our way. So without further ado I shall deliver Undertaker’s eulogy.”

Jim Ross “What is this? This is sick!”

<The lights go out and a spotlight shine on Paul Bearer and the picture.>

Bearer “Undertakers career started at Survivor Series 1990. He came to the ring and made a huge impact as part of the Million $ Team. He showed he felt no pain and had no remorse. However in early 1991 I saw that Undertaker needed guidance and someone to channel his talents. So I took him under my wing and we destroyed legends together. We took care of Tugboat, the Big Bossman, Jimmy Snuka, and Jim Duggan. Thanks to me Undertaker was going places. I took this misguided monster and channelled him into an unstoppable force. We even placed Ultimate Warrior in a casket and sent him to hell. THEN, THEN, we topped the mountain. We toppled Hulk Hogan back when he THE force in wrestling to capture to WWF title. That is one of my proudest days. 6 days later Taker lost the title back to a prime Hogan thanks to an OAP and things started to go wrong.

Jerry Lawler “This is getting spooky J.R. I mean is Undertaker really gone?”

Bearer “For noooooooooo reason Undertaker found a conscious, he saved women from beatings and was going soft. I thought that had changed at SummerSlam 92 when we buried Kamala in a casket. Then we toppled the 8 foot Giant Gonzalez and surely it was just a mater of time before Taker would return to what he truly was: a monster. BUT I WAS WRONG! Taker continued to fight a good fight. He went after Yokozona and failed and then after being stuffed in a casket at Royal Rumble 94 Taker is seemed had gone forever.”

Jim Ross “I remember that kind. That was one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen in wrestling.”

Bearer “THENNNNNNNNNNN, a fake Undertaker was brought in to the WWF. He was passed of as the real Undertaker. Until I PAUL BEARER resurrected the real Undertaker and together we destroyed this impostor. AND THEN, AND THEN. We got our revenge on Yokozona.”

Jerry Lawler “This guys voice is irritating.”

Bearer “Since that day we toppled the million $ corp. We toppled Diesel, until finally Mankind appeared on the scene. Then Undertaker I saw my opportunity, my opportunity to make you stronger. I tried to show you how weak you were still. I turned my back on you and then you won the title again. I won you the title again Taker. But were you grateful? NO! So I had to use Kane as my weapon. I warned you that unless you followed me I would unleash your brother. You didn’t heed my warning and finally I unleashed Kane. You burnt that house down Taker. It had Kane and your parents in. You ruined Kane’s life and now his going to ruins yours. UNDERTAKER! REST IN PEACE!”

Jim Ross “That guy is a twisted, sick human being. He seems to want to play Dr Frankenstein with human lives.”

Jerry Lawler “His one guy J.R that makes the Addams family look normal but he made some good points.”

Jim Ross “How can you say that?”

Jerry Lawler “Come on J.R. What Undertaker did was inexcusable.”

Jim Ross “What did he do King? There’s no proof. In any event we’ll be back after this short break.” 

<Commercial break.>

Jim Ross “Up next King is the beginning of our Light Heavyweight Title tournament. 8 men will battle it out for the title.”

Jerry Lawler “This should be great J.R. We don’t even know who’s in it yet.”

Light Heavyweight Title Tournament: Lash LeRoux Vs Taka Michinokou

<Lash LeRouxs music plays and he makes his way to the ring and begins to warm up on the ropes. Next TAKA Michinokou music plays and he makes his way down to the ring.>

Jerry Lawler “Oh no J.R. What’s TAKA No Clue doing in this thing? He only just lost it.”

Jim Ross “If anybody deserves to be in this tourney then its TAKA.”

TAKA controls the fast paced match until mid way when he misses a top rope dive to the outside. LeRoux controls for a while at a fast pace until TAKA out of nowhere hits the Michinokou Driver for the 3

Jim Ross “Well TAKA is our first semi finalist but LeRoux for a rookie put up one hell of a fight against the former champion.”

Jerry Lawler “Why did he have to win?”

Jim Ross “Oh shut up King!”

Winner: TAKA Michinoku

United Nations

<The cameras switch to the back and show Rocky Maivia talking to Kama Mustafa and D’lo Brown.>

Rocky “Listen Jabronis we need to stop this bitch fighting. You two I need tonight against Austin and at No Way Out against Shamrock. I need a United Nation. You guys don’t have to kiss each other, hell your not Arizona cousins or anything…………”

D’lo “Listen Rock I’m sorry for last week. I just lost my head a little and panicked.”

Kama “Lost your head? Man your head is too big too lose.”

D’lo “I’ve had enough of this!”

<D’lo goes to punch Kama but Rocky holds his hand back.>

Rocky “Damn it! You two at No Way Out will end this. At No Way Out I’ve had it made official that D’lo Brown and Kama Mustafa will face off one on one. Now will you two just get your mind on business cause The Rock needs you.”

D’lo “The Rock? Is that what your calling yourself now?”

Rock “Your damn right jabroni.”

D’lo “Jabroni? Is that like some kind of sex name?”

Rock “WHAT!?”

<Rock looks piss and D’lo just walks off.>

Jim Ross “Haha. It does kind of sound sexual I suppose.”

Jerry Lawler “Shut up J.R That’s not funny. D’lo needs to show some manners.”

Jim Ross “Come on King. Rocky Maivia is one self centred cocky son of a gun.”

Jerry Lawler “That’s The Rock to you Jabroni.”

HBK Ain’t Worried

<The camera’s switch to the back and Michael Cole with HBK.>

Cole “Shawn. Tonight Vince McMahon has promised to make an offer that you cannot refuse. Can you elaborate on that?”

HBK “Well I’m not sure what you mean by that? Are you suggesting I should be getting, ya know excited?”

Cole “No I just meant………..”

HBK “Shut up Cole! The Showstoppas talking. McMahon I don’t know what offer you have for me and DX but when you say it’s to good to refuse you have to remember that me and Hunter are into Chicks and Chyna don’t do OAP’s. So come out and make your offer but remember to keep your hands off the merchandise.”

<Commercial break.>

WWF Tag Team Championship: Legion Of Doom © Vs The New Age Outlaws

<“DX” plays and Road Dogg and Billy Gunn appear from the back. They taunt the fans on their way up the aisle by telling them to suck it and doing the DX sign. When they enter the ring they both climb opposing turnbuckles and tell the crowd to “Suck It”.>

Jim Ross “If these two weren’t bad enough before then now they certainly are now.”

Jerry Lawler “Oh come on J.R. They are entertaining. And these fans are morons.”

<”OHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT A RUSH!!!!!!!!!!” Animal and Hawk make there way to the ring with their customary spikes. They slap the fans hands and take of their spikes before entering the ring. The Outlaws jump on them straight away.>

Jim Ross “Here we go!”

Animal and Hawk beat down Gunn and Dogg and throw them outside before taunting to the crowd. Eventually we settle into the match with Hawk pounding Road Dogg. However Billy Gunn gets a cheap kick to the back in on Hawk. Road Dogg tags out and now Billy Gunn controls Hawk with some brawling. Road Dogg and Gunn isolate Hawk with frequent tags and use every dirty trick in the book to keep Animal on the outside and take every opportunity to double team Hawk. Eventually Hawk manages to duck a double clothesline and hit one of his own knocking both Outlaws down and makes the hot tag. Animal hits both men with clotheslines and suplexs and throws Road Dogg outside. He hoists Billy Gunn onto his shoulders and Hawk recovers to deliver the Doomsday Device. Animal covers for the three.

<Animal and Hawk celebrate on the turnbuckles with their titles.>

Jim Ross “Despite all of the Outlaw dirty tricks the Legion Of Doom come out on top!”

Jerry Lawler “They were lucky J.R.”

Winners And Still WWF Tag Team Champions: The Legion Of Doom

<Commercial break.>

American Heroes

<We come back to a video. We are taken to a gym with 96 Olympic gold medallist Kurt Angle.>

Angle “Hi, I’m here to talk about America. Now as some of you may know. I won Gold at our Olympic games in Atlanta City. Now would I consider myself a hero? Damn freakin right! I’m the only hero that this country has ever known. Yeh there have been impostors who people have believed to be heroes. First lets look at Franklin Roosevelt. The man who so called led this country out of the great depression and into prosperity. But if the truths known he was nothing but a vicious dictator who tried to rule us like a king. American Hero’s don’t defy the consitfreakinition. Second we have Abraham Lincoln. A guy who just got lucky on a few things and had odd facial hair, please! And lastly the biggest fraud of all: Martin Luther King. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not racist but that guy sure was. Him and hate stirring ways lead to black people turning to violence and he tried to destroy this countries very democracy. It’s True, It’s True.”

Jim Ross “What in the hell was all that bigamist crap?”

Jerry Lawler “That was Kurt Angle J.R. An American Hero.”

Jim Ross “I use to think he was but after seeing him degrade some of the greatest men in history when they can’t even defend themselves I’m not so sure.”

<A hype video for Mankind is played.>

Triple H Vs ???

<“DX” plays and Triple H makes his way to the ring, shoulding proudly his European Title. Chyna follows in behind and Triple H spits some water vapour in the air before entering the ring. Chyna grabs Triple H a mic.>

HHH “Tonight I have be told to turn up and be ready to wrestle. McMahon promised me that I wouldn’t guess who my opponent was. McMahon promised me it would throw me off guard. Well McMahon here’s a tip, NOTHING throws Triple H and you can throw whatever you want at DX because we’ll take it.”

Jerry Lawler “Who is Triple Hs opponent tonight J.R.?

Jim Ross “I have no idea King.”

<“Beware The Snake” plays and Jake “The Snake” Roberts appears from the back Snake and all! He walks down the aisle and Triple H begins to freak out.>

Jerry Lawler “What the hell? I thought this guy could hardly walk never mind wrestle!”

Jim Ross “Ladies and gentlemen we have probably the greatest man to never be WWF Champion in our sights.”

<Roberts sets his Snake down into a bag and enters the ring.>

Roberts controls early on with some brawling. Triple H finds a way back into it with a thumb to the eye and a knee to face.

Indecent Proposal

<“WWF” plays and Vince McMahon makes his way to the ring. He enters and grabs a microphone.>

Jim Ross “I guess we’re going to find out what Vince McMahon’s proposal is now King.”

Jerry Lawler “I can’t wait JR.”

McMahon “Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight I promised to deliver a offer DX could not refuse and I have every intention of doing so. You see DX seem to think they should be running this show. They believe that they are in charge. They do not respect my authority. They cheat, steal and are abusive even to WWF fans. I have made it my mission to rid the WWF of them forever. So this brings me to my proposition. At No Way Out I propose Steve Austin Vs HBK: Shawn Michaels. Now this match will have a lot riding on it. Austin has already agreed and if HBK does to then that match will determine the future of this company. HBK if you win this match, then you will be granted full WWF authority up until Wrestlemania. You will be in charge of making match’s title shot’s everything. HBK and DX will run the WWF for a month. However if you lose, DX will disband forever. Shawn this will determine the path to Wrestlemania and quite possibly the winner at Wrestlemania. It’s a huge decision so you have until next week to answer. A whole week to consider if DX is worth risking in order to improve your chances at Wrestlemania.”

<”WWF” plays and McMahon makes his way to the back.>

Jim Ross “Wow King this is huge.”

Jerry Lawler “Yeh if HBK accepts then that match will be huge but is it worth risking DX for?”

Jim Ross “HERE WE GO!”

<Owen Hart appears from the back with his World Title firmly around his waist. He slaps some fans hands on the way down and enters the ring where he poses to the crowd.>

Jerry Lawler “The crowd love this guy!”

Owen Hart controls the early going with a fast pace. He uses technical and highflying moves to keep control. Owen climbs to the top rope and jumps to the outside but Mankind sidesteps. Mankind pummels Owen on the outside and whips him into the steel steps. Owen is thrown back in the ring and Mankind pummels Owen down some more. Owen eventually reverses a Piledriver and hits a kick enziguiri and that leaves both men down. The referee gets to 9 before Owen gets an arm over Mankind for a very near fall. Owen now slows the pace down and hits a variety of technical moves to keep on top. He then quickens it again and climbs to the top and delivers a top rope leg drop. He then slaps on the Sharpshooter but after a few minutes of struggling Mankind manages to get to the ropes. Mankind reverses an Irish whip and hits a backdrop to regain control and controls Owen with more brawling. Mankind throws Owen into the corner and splashes him.

Guernsey is the greatest and the future of this company. IF them damn bureaucrats would stop holding me down and finally put me on the main show. Guernsey is sick of this hellhole. Guernsey wants the high life. I want the fancy fireworks. Guernsey wants the fancy music. What makes Owen Hart (Huge POP) any better than me? He kisses more asses that’s all (Crowd boo). I will take my rightful place at the top at any cost.”

Michael Cole “Guernseys an idiot. He cheated to win tonight by attacking his opponent and thinks he should be where Owen Hart is. This guys seriously needs an attitude adjustment.”

Kevin Kelly “Shut up Cole! I like this kid he has potential.”

Segment Rating: The crowd is becoming hostile to Guernsey.
