San Antonio, Texas

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony hit and Hunter Hearst Helmsley came out with a furious expression on his face. 6 days ago on Raw he and Jerry Lawler would have beaten Goldust and Marc Mero if Hunter could have focused on the match.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Intercontinental Championship," announced Howard Finkel. "Introducing first, from Greenwich Connecticut weighing in at 255lbs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley!"

Helmsley entered the ring and waited impatiently for his opponent.

Beautiful People (the Raw theme) hit and Seth Hardy came out to a huge cheer from the crowd.

"And his opponent, from Cameron, North Carolina, weighing in at 60lbs. Seth Hardy!"

As he entered the ring, Hunter jumped him for the second time. The bell almost instantly after the assault started.

Hunter proceeded to kick Hardy in the back as the crowd booed the Connecticut Blueblood.

Hunter picked Hardy up and hit a Spinebuster. He went for the cover and Seth kicked out at two. He picked him up again and threw him into the ropes. When Seth rebounded, Helmsley went for a clothesline but Hardy ducked and hit a Superkick. Seth went for a pin and Hunter kicked out just before two.

Seth hit a Legdrop and went for another cover. Again Helmsley kicked out.

Hardy waited for Hunter to get up. When he did he kicked him in the gut locked in a Front Facelock and attempted to pivot 180 degrees. Hunter countered it and hit a Pedigree.

Helmsley smirked as he slowly went for a pinfall.

"1."

"2."

The crowd went ballistic when Hardy kicked out. Hunter fell backwards in disbelief. He argued with the ref claiming it was a slow count.

He picked Hardy up and placed his head in between his legs. As soon as Hunter had hooked one arm, Seth countered into a roll up. Helmsley barely kicked out. But when Hunter turned around, Hardy kicked him, locked in a Front Facelock, pivoted 180 degrees then caught Hunter in a Three Quarter Facelock with his free arm and then fell into a Cutter.

Hardy crawled into the cover.

"1."

"2."

"3."

The crowd went wild as Hardy stood up on weak legs. The ref raised his hand in victory as Vince McMahon entered the ring and also raised Hardys hand.

After the show

"Congratulations on your victory Hardy," McMahon said. "But next time… tell the truth when I ask about your family."

Seth looked at his new boss. "What do your mean?" he asked nervously.

"Did you think I wouldn't know the difference between a man and woman's voice?" Vince snapped. "Your mother never answered the phone. A man did. And I'm guessing that was one of your brothers."

Seth nodded.

"In fact," Vince whispered. "He told me that your mother… died years ago. You were practically a baby at the time, so you wouldn't have known. Cancer in the brain, was it?"

Seth nodded again.

Vince leaned in close to Hardys ear and whispered. "The next time you lie about your family. I swear you will find yourself out of a job!"

And with that, Vince walked away. Seth was barely able to keep the tears from escaping his eyes.
