Chapter 9: The Real Dirt Sheet
Smackdown was in Trenton, New Jersey and Dream's Secret was competing in their first tag team match against Michelle McCool and Beth Phoenix.
Skye was backstage at the arena reading her journal when Madison was sneaking up behind her.
For some reason, Skye has been hiding out in private with this particular journal that she didn't want anyone to see.
As Madison snuck up to Skye, she quickly snatched her journal and ran off.
"Hey!" Skye shouted. "Give that back!"
Then Skye chased Madison through the arena until Madison reached the Women's Locker Room and Skye caught up to her with Destiny, Brittany, and Amanda in sight.
"Okay, where is it?" Skye said as she was catching her breath.
"I'll give it back if you'll tell us what's inside," Madison said waving Skye's journal.
"It's none of your business."
"Skye, you're always walking off with that journal with a smile on her face," Destiny said. "So what is it?"
"I'm not telling you."
"Fine, I'll just open this 'journal' and read what's inside," Madison said.
Then Madison opened the journal as Skye tried to get it back but the girls held her back.
"Wait a minute," Madison said. "It's poetry."
"You write poetry, Skye?" Amanda said.
"No, I don't write poetry," Skye said. "Now can I please have my journal back?"
"Who wrote this because it sounds interesting?" Madison said.
"It's John, okay?"
"John Morrison writes poetry?" Brittany said.
"Oh, how sweet."
"Well, why don't you read us some of the Shaman of Sexy's poetry," Madison said as she handed Skye back her journal.
"I don't know," Skye said.
"Oh, come on, Skye," Destiny said. "Just one."
"Okay."
Then the girls gathered around Skye as they sat down and Skye opened her journal and begin to read.
A good weight in your hand Smooth, unblemished skin That's polished to a pleasant shine The perfect shape, a heart And a stem that twists of clean Just the right size to fill up your palm Then there's the cool snap When your teeth sink through the flesh And the tart sweetness that you find On your tongue She's like the perfect apple
Then the girls swooned after listening to that poem.
"Wow, who knew John could be so artistic?" Amanda said.
"I thought John was a complete douche bag," Brittany said, "but he sure is a lot of things."
"My thoughts exactly," Skye said.
"Is that why you're always walking away with that journal?" Madison said.
"Yeah."
"I have to admit, John's poem is great; it's very good."
"Well, this started a couple of months ago when we started dating. He would always leave me a poem at the beginning of the week in this journal that he gave me; and sometimes when I feel bored or upset, I read his poems to make myself feel better."
"Well, you don't need to hide it from us," Destiny said. "After listening to that type of artistic piece, I wanna hear more."
"Yeah, me too," Brittany said.
"Okay," Skye said.
Then a few minutes before Smackdown, Skye was icing John's abs after the vicious beating from C.M. Punk on WWE Superstars when the Miz got him disqualified. Before that, C.M. Punk was taunting Skye the whole time during the match but in return, Punk ended up with a kick in the head after John got disqualified.
"Are you gonna be all right?" Skye said.
"Yeah, it hurts but I'll be fine," John said.
"No wonder you hate the Miz so much and so does everybody else. I'm glad you two don't do the Dirt Sheet anymore, well, tonight's the return of it anyway."
"Don't worry, I got plenty to say to him; but I was wondering if you would like to join me and see what it's about."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, I remember when on our first date, you mentioned that the Miz and I were a couple of idiots doing what we did and making fun of Evan and Cryme Tyme in the process. We won't do any of that and I would really love it if you joined me on the Dirt Sheet tonight."
Then Skye thought it over and answered,
"On one condition: if you let me co-host your show, the Palace of Wisdom, this week wearing one of my outfits that you like so much."
"Deal," John said.
Then Skye leaned down as she kissed John and John wrapped his arm around her.
Then Smackdown was on and it was time for the first match of the night: the Divas' tag team match which was Dream's Secret versus Michelle McCool and Beth Phoenix. Dream's Secret's entrance theme, "Good Girls Gone Bad" by Cobra Starship and Leighton Messner, played and the girls came out from the curtain.
"The following Divas' tag team match is scheduled for one fall," Tony Chimel announced. "Introducing first, the team of Destiny and the WWE Women's Champion, Skye, Dream's Secret."
Skye was wearing a baby blue lacy halter crop top, baby blue lacy mini-miniskirt with a black belt, baby blue lacy leg warmers, and her hair curled. Destiny was wearing a baby blue monokini, black pants with snowflakes on it, and her hair curled.
The two walked down the ramp slapping the hands of the fans and Destiny got into the ring first and did a split leg-drop raising her arm in the air as Skye climbed on the apron onto the turnbuckle and she posed raising her arms in the air before going down in the ring. Then Skye raised her title belt in the air as Michelle's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.
"And theirs opponent first from Palatka, Florida, Michelle McCool," Tony announced.
Michelle walked down the ramp with a smirk on her face and Michelle got on the apron without shaking her butt to the crowd and got into the ring. Then Michelle got on the turnbuckle and raised her arms in the air and she got back down and then Beth Phoenix's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.
"And her tag team partner from Buffalo, New York, the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix," Tony announced.
Beth walked down the ramp and then climbed on the apron, got on the turnbuckle, and raised her arms in the air before she flipped into the ring. Beth walked over to Michelle and the two stared at Dream's Secret as Destiny and Beth got out of the ring and the referee called for the bell.
Skye and Michelle had a staredown and Michelle wanted Skye to get the first blow and Skye went for it as Michelle ducked and Michelle kicked Skye in the midsection and threw her to the corner and she made the tag to Beth and the two were kicking Skye in the corner and Beth dragged Skye by her hair and Skye got a couple of back elbows and Beth landed a belly-to-belly suplex for a two count.
Then Beth grabbed Skye's arms and got a surfboard submission hold and splashed her on the mat and she held onto Skye as she made the tag to Michelle and the two whipped Skye to the ropes and Skye ducked a double clothesline and shoved Michelle into Beth and Skye landed a dropkick twice.
Then Skye made the tag to Destiny and Michelle immediately speared Destiny to the mat and punched away at her and Michelle went for a back suplex but Destiny countered into a Small Package for a two count and Michelle got a shoulder block and bounced off the ropes and Destiny got a schoolgirl pin for a two count.
Then Destiny went to whip Michelle but Michelle reversed landing a knee to the midsection and she bounced off the ropes and landed a knee to the face and Michelle choked Destiny as she grabbed her and went to whip her to the ropes but Destiny reversed and landed a double underhook power bomb for the cover but Beth got into the ring and kicked her in the back and then went for a choke slam but Skye got into the ring and landed a spinning heel kick to the face.
Beth rolled out of the ring and Skye bounced off the ropes and landed a suicide dive onto Beth as Michelle attacked Destiny from behind and whipped Destiny to the ropes and Destiny kicked her in the face and Destiny landed a couple of forearms and went for another one but Michelle blocked and landed a Russian legsweep.
Then Michelle quickly applied a heel hook and Destiny was about to tap out when Skye bounced off the ropes and landed a leg drop and Dream's Secret whipped Michelle to the ropes and missed a double clothesline and both ducked Michelle's clothesline and landed a double dropkick and Beth came into the ring but Skye got a drop toe hold and Dream's Secret bounced off the ropes and landed a baseball slide sending Beth out of the ring.
Then Michelle clotheslined Dream's Secret and Michelle stomped on Skye and went for a back suplex but Skye landed on her feet and Dream's Secret kicked Michelle in the midsection and landed their finishing move, the Dreamcatcher, which is a Russian legsweep and neckbreaker combination, and Destiny pinned Michelle for the win.
"Here are your winners, Destiny and the WWE Women's Champion Skye, Dream's Secret," Tony announced.
Then Dream's Secret hugged each other as the referee handed Skye her Women's Championship belt and raised Dream's Secret's arms in the air. Then Beth got into the ring as Dream's Secret left the ring and the girls were laughing at Beth as Beth stared at them.
Later, Skye was in Theodore Long's office having a conversation.
"Skye, I appreciate you taking part of WWE's Bragging Rights taking on the Divas' Champion Melina and the other Divas and I want you to know that this is a huge match for you," Theodore said.
It was announced that Dream's Secret and Madison were facing Melina, Kelly Kelly and Gail Kim in a RAW versus Smackdown six-Diva tag team match.
"Hey, Melina and I may be friends," Skye said, "but all that matters is who is the better champion with the better Divas."
Then Chris Jericho came forward.
"You see, Skye," Chris said, "as captain of the Smackdown team……"
"Chris, that's co-captain," Theodore said.
When Smackdown started, Kane declared himself Team Smackdown co-captain with Chris Jericho and Chris took offense to that.
"As co-captain of the Smackdown team, everyone needs to understand how important Bragging Rights is. I mean, along with the championship matches, there's three RAW versus Smackdown matches. That means if Smackdown wins twice, it proves we're the dominant brand. That's also why it's so important for me to watch the qualifying matches to see who's gonna join me on Team Smackdown. I need of group of ruffians and rogues, gypsies, tramps, thieves, I need some warriors that I can lead in the battle to beat RAW and we're gonna beat RAW. As for as the other matches go, I can't count on your boyfriend John Morrison to beat the Miz and……maybe I can't count on you either."
"Ain't that sad?" Skye said. "I wouldn't count on you. I mean, I don't think anybody on the Smackdown team would count on you either. I mean, with your tag team partner the Big Show on the RAW team, that's a big chance for them and besides, nobody wants a captain who calls their fans hypocrites and liars. It's a shame, though. There's a slight chance that you wouldn't want the Smackdown team to win since the odds are not in your favor."
"Hey, Teddy," Mickie James as she came forward.
"Mickie James, how are you?" Theodore said.
"Hi, how are you?"
"Good."
"I just personally wanted to come by and say how excited I am that you chose to trade for me to come to Smackdown."
"Well, Mickie, I'm happy to have you here."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"And Chris, if you're looking for someone who can beat the RAW Divas, perhaps you should choose someone who hasn't already beaten all the RAW Divas."
"That's a good idea," Skye said.
Then Skye begin to walk away until she bumped into Beth Phoenix.
"Now that I've been traded onto Smackdown," Beth said, "if I were you, I wouldn't plan on keeping that title for long. Oh, yeah, and one more thing. I want you to deliver a message to your friend Christina Alexis and since she thinks she's the dominate Diva beating up everyone, I'm challenging her to a match at Bragging Rights and show her that I'm more dominate than she is."
"Don't worry, she's watching Smackdown right now and she will gladly accept," Skye said.
Then Skye walked out of Theodore's office.
Later, Vickie Guerrero and Eric Escobar were walking down the hallway and smiling & laughing until they spotted Madison walking towards them.
In his Smackdown debut, Eric Escobar beat Matt Hardy in a Rights Qualifying match to be part of Team Smackdown thanks to the distraction by a screaming Vickie Guerrero.
"Here you go again, Vickie, causing trouble," Madison said. "You know what I think? I think the Smackdown team will lose to the RAW team because of you and your bad karma is definitely something the Smackdown team doesn't need; and if the Smackdown team loses, then what you did would be for nothing and Chris Jericho won't be the only one to blame."
"Hey," Eric said as he spoke to Madison in Spanish.
"I don't know what you said, but screw you."
Then Madison walked away.
Then it was the time for the return of the Dirt Sheet.
The Miz's entrance theme played and came out from the curtain. The Miz raised his United States Championship belt in the air and walked down the ramp and got into the ring as he grabbed a microphone and sat down on a chair.
John Morrison's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Skye following him. Skye was wearing a white ruffled dress shirt, tan plaid miniskirt, brown boots, and her hair curled.
John did his usual "Shaman of Sexy" raising the Intercontinental Championship belt in the air along with Skye bowing down and flipping her hair backwards raising the Women's Championship belt in the air and the two walked down the ramp and got into the ring.
John and Skye walked behind the Miz as he had an incredibly smug look on his face and John grabbed a microphone and he & Skye sat down next to each other on the chairs.
"Hi, I'm John Morrison," John said, "and at Bragging Rights, I'm gonna prove why being the Intercontinental Championship is far more superior to……wait a minute, Miz. You got a championship, is that thing real, buddy? Did you get that on WWEShop?"
"Yes, it's real," the Miz said, "and I'm your United States Champion, the Miz."
"And welcome to the return of the Dirt Sheet."
"By the way, what is she doing here?"
"I actually was invited by John to join you two for the Dirt Sheet," Skye said, "and besides, I never liked that show; so I decided to come and see what this is all about."
"Yeah, WWE presents a new concept in a pay-per-view called Bragging Rights. It will determine which show is far more superior than the other. Is it RAW or……"
"Or is it Smackdown?" John said. "And we will also determine which former member of one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history is superior.
"The Miz?"
"Or John Morrison?"
"Everybody knows I was the star of that tag team and throughout history, great pairs have broken up one going onto fame & fortune and the other fizzling out in obscurity. For example, Mork and Mindy." Then a picture of them went up on the video screen. "They were Robin Williams and what's her name?"
"And of course, we got Bill and Ted." Then a picture of them went up on the video screen. "Ted, of course, went on to become Neo in the Matrix and Bill, he went to the unemployment line which is probably where you'll go, Miz."
"Ha, ha, ha, and the list goes on, Wayne and Garth, Regis and Kathie Lee, and nobody could forget about the Rockers!"
"Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, the Rockers."
"Yes, when they broke up, Shawn Michaels went on to become Shawn Michaels! While Marty Jannetty went on to be, well, Marty Jannetty. Wa-wa-wa. And at Bragging Rights, I will prove that I am the Shawn Michaels and you, my friend, are the Marty Jannetty."
"Well, that's just impossible, Miz, because Marty Jannetty never had sweet merchandise like I got." Then John showed off his t-shirt as Skye had her hand all over it. "Where's your shirt, Miz? Oh, you don't have a shirt, do you?"
"Wow, cool t-shirt."
"Your mom got one of these by the way."
Then Skye begin to laugh.
"There can't be two Jannettys," the Miz said. "So in default, you're the Jannetty. Thank you."
"Actually, there are two Jannettys," John said. "There's Marty Jannetty and there's you. You know, I think you guys would actually make a great tag team, Marty Jannetty and Mizzy Jannetty. 'Hey I'm Marty, hey, I'm Mizzy, we're the Jannettys and we're awesome.' See what happens when you don't have a girlfriend, folks?"
"I have a girlfriend."
"No, Miz, you've never had a girlfriend……"
"I have tons of chicks, I've had girlfriends."
"Sure you do; as a matter of fact, you haven't changed at all. The only thing you've had done is conformed. You know, back in the day, you know, you had your hat and the scarf and your little capris, you, at least, had the courage to be yourself and dress like a loser like that." Then the video screen showed a picture of what the Miz looked like before. "But now, you are this strange mixture of Michael Phelps, Mr. Ed, Pink and Big Dick Johnson. And when you put all that together, you get the Miz."
Then the video screen showed the Miz carrying the United States Championship belt.
"Ha-ha-ha, number one, I have great hair," the Miz said. "Number two, the women love my pearly whites, and number three, I look good in trunks."
"If by good, you mean husky……" John said.
"Husky?"
"No, husky, you know what I'm talking about? The word that moms use to call their kids, not fat, when they really are……"
"Oh, so now I'm fat?"
"No, you're not really fat, you're husky.
"I'm not husky."
"Make some noise if you think the Miz is husky."
Then the crowd cheered loudly as Skye laughed.
"You all think I'm husky?" the Miz asked as the crowd agreed. "Really? Really? Really? All these Miztakes are just jealous."
"Of what?" John said.
"Jealous of my amazing body, yeah. I look good and the fact is at Bragging Rights, there will be no debate about it. I will prove that I always had and always will be better than you."
"Why wait for Bragging Rights? Why don't you try to prove that right now."
"John, I'm not gonna do that in this second rate city in this second rate state on this second-rate show. I'll do it at the pay-per-view."
"You think this place is second rate?"
"Yeah."
"You think Smackdown is the second rate show?"
"Yep."
"And you think RAW is the A show?"
"Absolutely."
"You know, RAW these days is a cheap version of Saturday Night Live. So if you wanna tune in to the amazing star power of Al Sharpton and Nancy O'Dell, go ahead. Who's gonna host next week, Big Bird? No, that's must-see-TV. No, if you wanna see action, entertainment and the Friday Night Delight, you tune in to watch Friday Night Smackdown. I think these people here tonight are sick of hearing the boring Miz be boring on RAW……"
"Boring?"
"Yes."
"I am the most entertaining and charismatic superstar in the WWE, I am the reason people watch Monday Night RAW, I am the reason people are watching tonight! I carried you for two years, I was the talent of the tag team because I'm the Miz and I'm awesome!"
"No, you're the Miz and all you do is run your mouth! For two years, all I heard is 'I got a catchphrase, I'm the Miz, I'm awesome. Be jealous, hoo-rah.' Shut up! Talk is cheap and this is Smackdown, it's not RAW, I'm not gonna just sit here and to let you talk about anything you're gonna do. So why don't you stand up and actually do something."
Then John got out of his chair as Skye quickly got out of her chair and backed away as John took off his sunglasses and set down his Intercontinental Championship belt."
"Come on, husky boy!" John said. "Why don't you get up and act like a champion. Why don't you get up and prove something. Come on!" Then John knocked the Miz out of his chair and they stood toe-to-toe. "That's right, what are you gonna do? Wanna take a shot at me? I dare you."
Then John dropped the microphone as Miz dropped his United States Championship belt and took off his jacket and they stood toe-to-toe again as John dared the Miz to take a shot at him. The crowd chanted "husky" at the Miz as he left the ring grabbing his title belt & jacket and backed up the ramp.
"That's what I thought," John said. "See you at Bragging Rights……Jannetty."
Then John grabbed his title belt and did his usual "Shaman of Sexy" raising it in the air with Skye standing next to him as the Miz raised his title belt in the air.
Skye had never seen John fired up like that but the Miz got him to the point where it will come to blows at Bragging Rights.
