Stone Cold Steve Austin had made his way to the center of the ring after
giving a double salute to the crowd on every four turnbuckle. Finally the
cheering fans began to grow quiet as Austin held a mic, the special suprise
was about to happen.
"Now I know that earlier I said I had a special guest." What? "And this is what makes him so special." What? "He's not a good athlete." What? "Not too popular among other people." What? "But he is one rich son of a bitch and he's the one who signs my paychecks and lets me be here with you all tonight." The fans begin to grow eager. "And that man is, Vince McMahon." The crowd is shocked as Vince McMahon struts down the arena and makes his way into the ring. Austin and Vince stare at each other, mic in hand, as the crowd begins to chant: asshole!
"Now, now, that's not the way to treat the WWE chairman!" Vince tells the jeering crowd. Austin watches him walk around the ring. "First off I'd like to say I'm glad to be here, thanks for inviting me Austin. But to be honest, I don't know why you called me here tonight. So tell me, why?"
"Well I'll tell ya why, I brought you out here because..." Austin stops when Eric Bishoff's music plays. The crowd begins to boo once again as Eric comes down to the ring.
"Well, well, well." Eric smiles at Vince, who smirks back. "If it isn't Mr. McMahon himself. Give it up for him hu!" Eric begins to clap but the audience continues to jeer him. "Don't mind them Vince, they're the assholes!" He laughs and Vince just nods. "But in all seriousness Vince, I'm glad you're here because, because I have a question to ask you, well, it's really more of a suggestion." Eric looks at Austin. "Ever since being co-gm, Austin has made my life a living hell. And why does he deserve the job? The answer is simple, he doesn't! I've worked long and hard, putting my life into WCW and that work got me here to the WWE. As for Austin, what has he done that's so great? What, flipping people off while drinking beer? Oh yea, that's some real big accomplishments there. So I ask you Vince, why not just terminate him now and get it over with?" The crowd continues to loudly protest.
"Well Eric I'm sorry but I have to pass the offer." Vince replies and the crowd cheers as Eric looks pretty pissed. "You see to be honest, I'm a business man and having Austin as your co-gm is good for business."
"But, but..."
"I'm sorry Eric, but as much as I don't like Austin, I can't let him go." Vince looks at Austin.
As they stare at each other, Eric tackles Vince from behind and begins to attack him. Austin backs up as the fans all rise to their feet to watch the brawl. They begin to cheer Austin but he can't do anything since he wasn't physically provoked. Then, all of a sudden....
"Break the walls down!"
The fans all stop and whirl around to the titantron in disbelief as Chris Jericho runs down the ramp and slides into the ring, attacking Eric Bishoff. The fans are stunned, they can't believe it. But finally they begin to cheer as Bishoff retreats and Vince rolls out of the ring. Chris showboats to the fans, running around the ring in a big circle, waving to the cheering crowd, finally he stops when he nearly runs into Austin. The two stare at each other as the fans watch eagerly in anticipation. But instead of attacking each other, Austin puts out his hand. Jericho is shocked but he accepts it. The fans cheer and Austin's music plays. He catches some beer and hands two cans to Austin. Chris drinks it all down as Austin goes to each corner of the ring to toast the crowd with two beer cans. The beer continues to flow, Chris drinking more and more until finally the beer is gone and the fans are left cheering happily as Raw goes off the air.
"Oh man, that was great you guys." Vince claps as Austin and Chris come backstage.
"Thanks, it's just great to be back." Chris smiles, his shirt all wet and sticky with beer.
"Well," Eric looks him up and down. "I guess you didn't save any for Austin hu?"
"Bah it's ok, he deserved something special." Austin pats Chris's back.
"Yea I just hope I don't get a hangover." Chris smirks and everyone laughs.
Everyone cleans up and packs their things to leave the arena, ready to hit the road to go to the next show. Chris was one of the last ones to make it out of the arena, he and the gang were all going to the hotel together to celebrate being all together once again after a very long time. The remaining fans outside all swarmed around Chris to get his autograph and welcome him back, they weren't that much in disbelief anymore. Chris was about to leave when...
"Chris!" A voice called and he turned to see two familiar looking people run over.
"Oh hey, it's you." Chris smiled as they approached him. "Lisa and Keith right?"
"Yup." Lisa beamed that Chris remembered them. They were the couple that got in the same taxi as Chris after getting off the bus the other day.
"Hey, welcome back Chris." Keith extended his hand.
"Thanks." Chris took it. Keith smiled and Chris smiled back, he'd obviously put the little ordeal about his girlfriend having a crush on Chris behind him.
"Come on Chris, let's go!" Stephanie called.
"Oh I'm sorry, please forgive me but I have to go." Chris abruptly apologized.
"That's ok, we understand." Lisa grinned.
"Thanks, nice seeing you again." Chris waved as he ran off with his friends to go party. Lisa and Keith watched as the superstars all left and the crowd went back to their cars. They frowned.
"Carlos was right, this guy is more of a handful than we originally thought." Lisa growled.
"I agree, we're the only ones left now, with Carlos and his minion Dan out of the picture." Keith agreed.
"Should we take matters into our own hands?" Lisa asked.
"Yes." Keith nodded and watched the cars leave the empty arena. "We're the only ones left now."
Chris and the gang had gone to the hotel at the airport to rejoice with a party to celebrate togetherness. Stephanie McMahon, Hulk Hogan, Jeff Hardy, and Rikishi would have to go to tape SmackDown the next day, but after that they were free for the rest of the week to have fun with each other. Everyone had gathered in the secluded lobby in the hotel so nobody else would come bother them.
"Wow, this is great!" Rikishi cheered as he helped himself to the snack tables.
"Hey, hey man, pace yourself." Jeff smiled. "We have SmackDown tomorrow." He missed being away just as much as Chris did, and now that he was back and keeping Rikishi in line, everything seemed to fall back into place.
"Oh daddy, this makes me so happy." Stephanie smiled up at her dad.
"You have no idea how happy I am." The relieved Vince grinned back down at her.
As Jeff tried to pace Rikishi with his food intake, Triple H and Shawn Michaels regaled the group with jokes. Edge, Christian, Lance Storm, and Chris Benoit rolled with laughter at the hilarity of the duo's tales, funny enough to bust any gut. Chris Jericho was helping himself to the bar with Eric Bishoff and Stone Cold Steve Austin, when Hogan came over.
"Hey Chris, it's good to have you back." He patted his back.
"Thanks man." The drunken Canadian slurred, Hogan smirked to himself. "Good to be back."
"I'm glad everything's finally going to be back to normal."
"Me too, now that we're all back together, everyone's happy." Steph walked over to the bar with her dad.
"I couldn't agree with you more kid, everyone's happy, every one of us." But Vince was wrong, there were two particular people who weren't happy and they were out for revenge, and they were none other than Keith and Lisa, the true mastermind leaders behind Carlos and Dan.
"Now I know that earlier I said I had a special guest." What? "And this is what makes him so special." What? "He's not a good athlete." What? "Not too popular among other people." What? "But he is one rich son of a bitch and he's the one who signs my paychecks and lets me be here with you all tonight." The fans begin to grow eager. "And that man is, Vince McMahon."
