Me: Hello readers, this is my first story with an actual plot, so it will be fairly rough. Oh, and meet my sarcastic visualization of my self-doubt, Norm.
Norm: Hey.
Me: I wrote this because, well, this show ROCKED, and should be brought back as soon as possible!
Norm: Here he goes again, come on Card, most of the people out there have either forgotten about this show or never knew it existed. Besides, it ran for 4 years, get over it.
Me: Those last two celebrity pieces of junk don't count and you know it!
Norm: Whatever. To Readers Read and Review Please.
June 2007 Chicago, Illinois, United States of America
We see our host Matt Striker standing on the roof of the Sears Tower and one of our contestants comes threw the door on the roof.
"Ah, it good to see you Randy, I hope that you are ready for the first challenge." Striker said in his naturally cocky tone.
"Of coarse I am" our first contestant Randy Orton replies, "But what will everyone else be doing?"
"Waiting for you to find them of coarse, all of them are waiting somewhere in this, the tallest building in the USA." The former New York City schoolteacher spouted out in full teaching mode.
"But that'll take forever!"
"Not if you use the clues that I'm about to give you. Here" And so Striker gives Randy a black envelope with a giant green fingerprint on the front. "There are five questions and the answers will lead you to the floor some of the nine superstars are on. Once people join you, they can help answer questions. You must rely on your wits alone. You have one hour to find all nine of your fellow contestants, and if you find them all you will add $100,000 to the group pot."
"Ok." Said Orton as he opens the envelope, "when does the game start?"
"Oh, I'd say about 30 seconds ago." Replied the host looking down at his wristwatch.
"What! Why didn't you tell me!"
"37 seconds ago, 39, 40."
"Oh you son of a..." But knowing his precious time was ticking away, Randy takes his backpack and makes a sprint for the door from which he came.
"And so it begins."
A video package plays featuring Matt Striker in a digital white landscape.
Striker- 10 WWE wrestlers must work together for a prize of up to 1 million dollars.
One of them is the Mole.
A traitor.
An insider.
A saboteur.
The winner? The person who can answer the question.
Who is The Mole?
We see Randy Orton frantically running to an elevator and start to read the questions in the envelope. "Ok lets see what we have here.
How many days did Randy Orton first hold the World Heavyweight Championship?
How many times has Chris Jericho officially held a world championship?
How many Wrestlemanias has Bret Hart wrestled in?
How many titles has Booker T held?
Combined, how many world titles have the former members of Evolution and the Radicalz held?
Well, I guess I'll start with the one I know for sure. And I'm certain that I held my title for only 29 days thanks to the jerk HHH." And so Randy pushes the 29th floor button once he gets in the elevator and waits.
54:32
"Man this place is so…boring" Orton says as he passes what he thinks must be about the hundredth generic potted plan on the floor. "Man this place is boring as hell. All these people are just wearing boring business suits, except for that guy." Orton begins to put on a big grin when he recognizes a face out of the crowd. "Hey Cena! Get over here!"
Wearing an old Micheal Jordon jersey, John Cena makes his way to join the one-man team. "What took you so long man, I've been waiting with these stiffs all day. I don't know how long I can riff on the same piece of crummy modern art. Maria was with me, but she's in the bathroom since we didn't think you'd get here for another 20 minutes"
"Shut up, we can work on the questions while we wait, so, do you know any of these for sure?"
"Yah, I'm positive Jericho was only champ once so we can handle that one last. But there's a computer right over there, we can just look up some of the answers." And so Cena goes to an empty cubical and goes to wikipedia for to answer questions 3-5.
30:53
"All right" said Cena scrolling threw the website, "it says here Bret was in 12 wrestlemania's, and, wow, Booker has held 33 titles in both WWE and WCW. But I can't find the number of world titles Evolution and the Radicalz have had"
As the two men loom over the computer monitor, we see Maria sneak up behind them and say in her usual chipper voice, "What are you doing guys?"
Both muscle men jumped out of their skin for a second, and as soon as Randy got his cool tried to explain to the fairly dimwitted diva the situation. "So now we have to add up the number of championships Evolution and the Radicalz have had."
Maria replies in what could be mistaken for deep thought, "Hmmm, who are the Evolution and Radicalz?"
"What?" Exclamed Randy in surprise, but calmly takes a deep breath to explain "ok, Evolution was Ric Flair, HHH, Batista, and Me. The Radicalz were Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, and Perry Saturn."
"All right you two, I've got the info right here, HHH is a 10 time world champ. Flair, of coarse, has held a world title 16 times, you got it once Orton, Batista has had the title 2 times, Benoit got it once, and Eddie held the WWE title one time. Let's see…" Cena said as be appeared to begin to look for a calculator.
"31", Piped in Maria.
"What?" Said the two stupefied boys.
"The answer is 31."
"How did you know that? You don't know anything?" accused Randy with his usual tact.
"Someone once told me I was an 'idio savent' or something like that." Going back to her usual air headed self.
"As interested as I am in this conversation, we're on a time limit, let's hurry." Barked Cena, "Maria, go to the 31st floor, Randy, you take 33, I'll take go to 12 and we'll all meet in the lobby."
And so the team breaks up and Maria, who has the envelope, and Randy take the only available elevator, while Cena chooses to take the stairs rather than wait for the next one.
23:36
Randy is the first to find his more team members on his floor, which consist of HHH and Mickie James. The three of them take an elevator to the ground floor and begin to search for more team members. John's group that includes Paul London and Victoria soon joins them.
"What is taking the last group so long?" complains an angry HHH, "Randy said you sent Maria, up to the 33rd floor to find more people, are you sure you're right?"
"I'm almost positive Maria was right."
"Wait, you let Maria answer the question?" Said Victoria coming out of an office, "What are you and Orton thinking? She can't even get her cloths on right if one of the diva's don't help her."
"Really." Was the only thing that came from HHH, Paul, John and Randy's mouth as they drift off into their own fantasy.
"Calm down guys" Mickie snapped, "We've got to go wait for them and look for whoever we are still missing here.
"I don't know about that, I say we go look for Maria, who knows, she might not even be in the same zip code as us by now." Said Victoria with a slight vile tone in her voice.
"Look we're in a rush," timed in Paul, "I'm the fastest, I'll go up and see if I can find Maria and any others, ok?"
"Good plan," came HHH, "but if you don't find them in 10 minutes, hurry back down here."
10:12
Just minute's after London took a trip up the elevator, we see Maria, Chris Benoit, and Melina step out of another elevator.
"All right, now we know were everyone is." John said sounding a bit relieved. "Now all we have to do is wait for Paul to come back, and find the last person."
"Maria was telling me you had to answer questions to find our floors? Are you sure we're on the right floor?" Inquired Melina.
"Of coarse I'm sure, the question was 'How many times has Chris Jericho officially held a world championship' and he has only had one title run." Said Randy with confidence.
"Sounds right to me." Melina shrugged.
"What? No, all of you are wrong." And irritated sounding Chris Benoit snaps.
"What are you talking about Chris" Mickie inquires, "Everyone knows Jericho only had one title reign and that was after he first united the WCW and WWF titles."
"Well he didn't win them at the same time, he won one, then the other. Therefore he had two separate title reigns. Plus he also had a forgettable one week run with the WCW title." Replied Benoit, trying to rush his answer.
"So Y2J held a world title 3 times." Came the once again, temporarily smart sounding Maria.
"Crud" Screams an extremely irritated HHH. "Lets get to the 3rd floor, now!"
So in what can only be described as a Benny Hill moment, all 8 wrestlers tried to go up a busy elevator only to find it busy, so all of them try to go up the narrow stairs. And as soon as they opened the door, they were greeted by a not too friendly face.
5:25
"What the hell took you chump stains so long!" A fuming Edge practically screamed.
"Calm down Edge, atleast we have everyone here." Mickie said in relief.
"Actually we're not," piped in Benoit, "Paul hasn't come back yet."
"Ah crud, he's going back to the ground floor." Interjects a now panicking Melina.
"Fine, I'll go down and find him since you guys can't do anything right." An extreamly irritated Edge says as he goes for the elevator.
"You're not going anywhere on your own Edge." HHH says as he cuts of Edge from the door.
"Listen up guys." Cena said trying to take control of the situation. "Let's all just go downstairs and meet up with Paul."
"Fine." Edge says reluctantly.
And so our 9 superstars once again run down the stairs due to the lack of time, and low and behold, there is Paul London, looking dazed and confused trying to figure out what's going on.
"There you guys are, I've been waiting here for a few minutes, where did you go?" Paul inquires.
"I don't think any of that matters now." Comes the overly calm sound of Matt Striker as he comes threw elevator doors.
By this point, all of the superstars are getting antsy and are visibly loosing their cool.
"I'm very proud of you guys, all of you are together in the same room and you still have a little over a minute to spare, I guess I lose the pool," our favorite teacher continues ignoring all the people who want to kill him.
"You son of a…" Randy says as Victoria and HHH hold him back.
"Careful, you don't want me to fine you some more of the money that you just won."
"Wait a second, more of the money?" inquires Benoit.
"Well you see, I told mister Orton that you were to rely on wits alone, but he and Cena used a computer to look up 3 answers, so because of this the team has been fined $30,000."
Before the group could self-destruct, Striker chimes in, "If I may have your attention, it's time for the quiz. You will take the quiz one at a time, and in the meantime, you guys are going to record your video diaries."
The Quiz.
10 questions over the identity of the Mole.
The person who scores the lowest on the quiz, is executed, and sent home immediately.
1.Is the Mole male or female?
2.What group of 3 was the Mole first in? (The Original 3, Cena's 3, Orton's 3, Maria's 3, the mole was not part of the groups of 3.)
3.Did the Mole break any rules in this game?
4.How many titles has the Mole won?
5.What is the Mole's hometown?
6.What color are the Mole's eyes?
7.What color is the Mole's hair?
8.Did the Mole ever go above the 30th floor?
9.How many Wrestlmanias has the Mole wrestled in?
10.Who is The Mole?
In the video diary room, each contestant talks about their suspicions over who they believe is the Mole.
HHH- I think that it is a little too convenient that Edge turns out to be the only guy on a floor alone in a place where the producers can talk to him about ways to sabotage the task. But the same could be said for Orton, Maria, and Cena. After all, they also got time alone.
Victoria- I have to go with those idiots Orton and Cena for letting themselves get played by Maria, I mean come on, she's a ditz. Or maybe that's what she wants us to think. No, she's a ditz.
Cena- Maria did take an awfully long time getting down with the rest of the group, but that could have also been because of some delays by Benoit or Melina.
Benoit- I have to suspect Mickie. I mean, she tried to slow us down at a critical time by questioning me over what I know about one of my best friends title reigns. Then again, just about anyone in the group could have answered the question.
Melina- I think that Paul has to be the Mole. I mean, him just running off without barley saying a word is pretty suspicious. But then again, I think Mickie is the one who put it in his head. But it wouldn't have happened if Chris had just given us all the answer sooner, I mean, Mickie did have the Envelope with her and could have shown me and Chris the questions.
Paul- Man, I barely even remember what happened, someone just suggested that someone go find the others and I just shot of, I think it was Mickie. But it did take the last three a little too long for my liking.
Edge- The Mole has to be Cena or Orton. Both of there stupid mistakes cost me some of my money. But where the hell was London when they finally got their brains together and found me.
Mickie- I think Edge or Victoria could be the Mole. Both are pretty underhanded and are causing a lot of stress to the team pretty early on.
Orton- The Mole could be anyone. Cena was the one to use the computer and cost the team money. But someone out of the entire group should have gotten the Jericho question right.
Maria- Why is everyone so fussy over the moley person? I mean, just because people have moles doesn't mean they are bad.
After everyone has finished the Quiz, everyone sits down in the lobby of the hotel they are staying in.
Striker comes in with a laptop and hooks it up to a computer screen and informs everyone, "Now that you have all taken the Quiz, I'll enter your names into this computer and if a green fingerprint shows up, you're safe. But if a red fingerprint appears, then you are the Mole's first victim and will have to leave immediately."
One by one Matt enters the names, first few become green. First Cena, then Chris, Victoria, Edge, Orton.
That is until the dreaded red fingerprint show up and the Game, HHH is executed.
Me: Hey, I've got a fun idea. How about the readers take the quiz and by the end of all this they can see if they were right in there guess of who the Mole is.
Norm: Hey, you're right, that is a fun idea. If by fun you mean lame.
Me…Shut up.
Read and Review please.
