THE REBIRTH OF XTREME
BY BLACK EMPEROR
(c) 2001
1. Int. RAW Backstage.
(Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible are in the back talking about their up coming match. X-Pac and Albert are standing next to Justin.)
LYNN: Let's go and show these guys how we used to do it in the old days.
CREDIBLE: Yeah, ECW all the way, man. We'll go out there and show everyone that we're not just the coolest, that we're not just the best, that we are Justin Credible. Let's go!
X-PAC: C'mon man, get psyched up baby, all the way.
2. Int. RAW Arena.
(The fireworks go off as RAW is on the air. Jim Ross and Paul Heyman do commentary.)
J.R.: Welcome everybody to RAW! And folks this is gonna be one of the most emotionally charged nights we've ever had.
PAUL E.: Oh, without a doubt, three titles on the line, not to mention Shane McMahon challenging his father for the rights to WCW.
J.R.: That's right, it'll all come to ahead tonight and you can bet your bottom dollar that it's gonna be a slobberknocker.
PAUL E: And you can bet it's gonna be EXTREME!
(Jim Ross turns away embarrassed, Paul Heyman looks at him and laughs.)
LILIAN GARCIA: Ladies and gentleman, this match is scheduled for one fall, making his way to the ring weighing in at 245 lbs, from St Paul, Minnesota, Jerry Lynn.
(Jerry Lynn does the Superfly Snuka sign while trying to keep his balance.)
LILIAN GARCIA: His opponent, being accompanied by fellow X-Factor members: Albert and X-Pac, Justin Credible.
(Justin Credible gets in the ring and Jerry Lynn immediately attacks him. Knees to the face, followed by right hands, a headbutt by Lynn, he's in complete control. Lynn whips Credible into the corner, but as he runs in Credible gets the boot up. Lynn Takes another run up, this time Credible backdrops him over the top rope, but Lynn lands on the apron. Credible goes for a shoulder block but Lynn jumps and legdrops the back of Justin Credible's neck. Slingshot sunset flip by Lynn, cover, 1-2-kickout by Justin Credible. Lynn grabs Credible's waist, he counters with a couple of back elbows, goes for a roundhouse, misses, Lynn grabs the waist again and German suplexes him:1-2-kickout. X-Pac gets on the apron and distracts the referee, Albert comes in the ring and Baldo Bombs Jerry Lynn. The cover: 1-2-kickout. Justin Credible is frustrated and starts choking Jerry Lynn, puts him in a rear-chin lock. The fans groan at the sight of this move and some chant BORING. Jerry Lynn gets up, runs off the ropes, monkey flip by Credible, Lynn lands on his feet, comes off the other side and a drop toe hold by Justin Credible. He now stamps his foot on the ground, goes for a baseball slide, but misses and ends up hitting the ringpost hard and low. Jerry Lynn grabs Justin Credible and hits him with the cradle piledriver. X-Pac distracts the referee again. Albert comes in but Jerry Lynn dropkicks him sending him to the outside. He also nails X-Pac. But when he turns around Justin Credible has a kendo stick and he breaks it over his head; ref didn't see it. Cover: 1-2-3. Justin Credible wins! X-Factor leave the ring celebrating. The crowd continued to boo Jerry Lynn and he sticks his fingers up at them.)
3.Int. RAW Backstage.
(Jerry Lynn comes backstage in a bad mood. He walks up to Justin Credible who is being congratulated by his peers.)
LYNN: I can't believe the fans didn't buy that match. We did everything right.
CREDIBLE: Don't worry about it man, things'll get better you'll see.
LYNN: After all we've done for this business, it makes me sick, all those years we sweated and we bled and for what? To have some rich punks on Monday Night steal everything that we do. It's not supposed to be like this! It's not supposed to be like this! I'm the new f'n show, how dare they boo me, I'm Jerry Lynn.
CREDIBLE: Calm down, man.
X-PAC: Yeah, I know exactly what you're going through. I went through the same thing when I was the 1-2-3 kid, it was a terrible gimmick, so when I came back as X-Pac I didn't really know how people were going to react, especially knowing my stint in WCW as Syxx. Just relax, these things take time to work.
LYNN: Yeah, well time isn't something I've got, I'm out of here.
(Jerry Lynn storms off. He sees Raven sitting in the corner of the hallway on his way back. Jerry Lynn stopped and looked at him.)
LYNN: Aren't you going to do something about this? Don't you see what's happening around here? They're trying to get rid of us, Justin's got stroke, but the rest of us, we're being chewed out. You're in the same position as me, how do you feel about it?
(No response.)
LYNN: You're just going to sit there and watch them use and abuse you, right?
(Raven stands up.)
RAVEN: (laughing a little) Jerry, for years we have worked so hard, we made this industry what it is today, Jerry. Well, today's just like any other day and just like in ECW, we're going to have to do things the hard way. For seven years we came from no-where to being somebody's, hey we may not like who we are now, but at least we are somebody in this business, we're in the World Wrestling Federation. Now, it is our reckoning, now is the time for all of us to fulfil our destiny because we are the saviours and we have been crucified for their sins. Quote the Raven; nevermore.
(Jerry Lynn smiles and walks off. Raven sits down again.)
