7:00 PM
(Two days have passed since Monday Night Raw and the return of Shane McMahon's, New World Order. The fans of the WWF have all piled into the arena for a pre-smackdown house show. Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jim Ross are ready to call the action.)
Jim Ross: Welcome to this sold out WWF house show everyone. We are glad to have all of you here tonight as we will see three titles put on the line.
Jerry Lawler: That's right JR. We're going to see the European Title defended in a rematch from Vengeance and then two other title matches in which the nWo will attempt to get all the gold the can.
Jim Ross: Well from what I understand Michael Cole is backstage preparing to interview Brock Lesnar. Let's see what he has to say to us tonight.
(As JR finishes speaking the cameras drift to backstage where Rhyno and Brock Lesnar are about to be interviewed by Michael Cole.)
Michael Cole: Brock in just a few moments you will enter the ring for the first time to take on Tommy Dreamer. As of late Dreamer has had his eye out for Rhyno and you're the man that's been there to protect our Hardcore Champion. Tell us why exactly are you on the side of Rhyno in this battle against Tommy Dreamer?
(Brock stands firm in front of Cole and Rhyno steps forward to respond for Lesnar.)
Rhyno: Michael there isn't a lot to understand about our little situation here. Brock Lesnar is here to protect me because that is what he was hired to do. I went into Vengeance knowing that I may very well be the Hardcore Champion after my match and I took the steps to make sure it stayed that way. I hired a man that can put anyone stupid enough to try to take me out and take my title in the hospital in a few short moments. Tommy Dreamer is the first man to try and get the best of me and due to that Tommy is gonna learn just how extreme a real Hardcore Champion can get. Tommy I hope you have insurance because my man is about to put you out of commission for a long time.
(The camera goes back to ringside and the first match of the night begins.)
7:07
Match 1: Tommy Dreamer defeats Brock Lesnar by DQ when Dreamer goes for a powerbomb only to be gored by Rhyno.
Jim Ross: I can't believe it! Rhyno just gored Tommy Dreamer causing Brock to be disqualified. Rhyno and Brock are heading to the back now as fast as they can.
King: They better get out of there JR. Paul Heyman is attending to Tommy and he looks furious. Rhyno is in for it now.
(The cameras once again go backstage as Edge and Christian are talking to The Undertaker.)
Edge: Ok guys, here's the plan for tonight. After what happened on Raw we can't afford to lose another one here tonight. We're taking on Kane and Billy Gunn with a chance to recapture our pride. Let's get out there and fix the problems that you've created.
(The Undertaker looks at Edge with a confused look on his face and responds to the accusation that was just made.)
The Undertaker: Excuse me son but maybe you forgot something. We all made a big mistake last week. There was nothing any of us could do in our tag team match. This isn't my fault you little shit. If anything you should be thanking me for getting us a match with these two tonight. I've been embarrassed enough by my brother lately and its time to set things straight. Before you start running your mouth again remember that you're nothing in this company without a backbone. You didn't keep the nWo alive, you didn't get us this rematch, and you won't even have a match if you make one bad move tonight because if my brother puts another one by me I'm gonna make sure both of you idiots REST IN PEACE!
(The camera returns to the ring for the next match.)
7:25
Jim Ross: Well up next Tazz is set to take on little Spike Dudley.
King: Spike Dudley is about to get torn up. Spike hasn't won a match in years and Tazz is gunning for him tonight. This one is gonna be interesting to say the least.
Match 2: Tazz defeats Spike Dudley with the Tazzmission.
(After the match Kurt Angle walks to the ring and stands over Spike Dudley. Bubba and D-Von then step out onto the stage and exchange words with Kurt. They tell Kurt not to touch Spike, but he bends over and starts poking at the runt of the litter. Kurt then dances around Spike and goes to poke him again. This time though Spike pokes Kurt in the eyes and the other two Dudleys run down to the ring. Spike puts a table in the ring as Bubba gives Kurt a few right hands. The table is then set up and Kurt is 3-Ded through the table. The ring is cleared of the debree and the three Dudleys walk to the back. The next match then begins.)
Jim Ross: Kurt Angle just got put through a table much to the fans delight, but now the show is about to heat up as Mr. Perfect tries to get his European Title back.
Match 3: Justin Credible defeats Mr. Perfect with the Just-In-Credible to defend the European Title.
King: He's done it JR. Justin Credible just proved he's for real by defeating Mr. Perfect again to keep the European Title.
(The camera then goes backstage to where Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Hulk Hogan are meeting with Shane McMahon.)
Shane McMahon: Well, well, well for a little while it was looking like we weren't gonna make it in this company. It looked like even though you'd still be under contract, you couldn't make a big enough impact even with me on your side to be the true New World Order. On Monday you guys took all these peoples dreams and in just a matter of minutes crushed them into thousands of pieces. You showed them that this company is going to be run our way. We may not have the WWF Title still, but we'll get it back. If not tonight then on Thursday night because Hollywood you're entitled to a one on one rematch with The Rock to try and take back that title. It's in the rulebook my man and we're taking back the top tomorrow night.
Kevin Nash: Hold on there just a second man. We're not waiting until tomorrow. Scott and I are going out there later tonight and we're going to show Test what a true tag team consists of. We're bringing the Tag Team Titles home tonight and then Hogan over here is gonna taste victory when we all make sure the WWF Title is around his waste at the end of the night. Now lets go out there and show them the way we do things around here.
(The cameras then go back to the ring for the next match.)
7:50
Jim Ross: Well up next The Undertaker and Edge are set to take on Kane and Billy Gunn. Kane defeated The Undertaker to keep the TV Title at Vengeance. Then on Raw, Kane, Booker T, and Chris Jericho defeated Edge, Christian, and Undertaker in a six-man tag team match.
King: Undertaker warned Edge earlier tonight, he better not be defeated again or there is going to be hell to pay for Edge and Christian. We've seen what the deadman is capable of before and we don't need to see it again.
Match 4: Kane pins Undertaker after a tombstone piledriver. Edge is taken out on the outside by the fame-ass-er.
Jim Ross: Kane just defeated his brother again! What's gonna happen to Edge now?
King: I don't know, but I'd be watching my back tomorrow night if I was him.
Jim Ross: Well we're not going to waste any time. This next match is going to get under way.
King: That's right JR. The tag team titles are about to be defended by Steven Richards and Test for the first time. Unfortunately they're taking on the New World Order in the title match.
Match 5: Test and Steven Richards defeat Kevin Nash and Scott Hall after Test hits the big boot on Hall for the pin.
Jim Ross: The nWo have fallen to Steven Richards and Test.
King: I can't believe it JR. This isn't the way for them to make their comeback.
(The camera goes backstage once again to where Vince McMahon is meeting with the WWF Champion, The Rock.)
Vince: Rock I know you just won the WWF Title on Sunday and you already have had to defend it once, but I've had no other choice than to book this triple threat match tonight. I wish I could take it back, but it's to late now.
Rock: Woah, woah, woah Vince. The Rock doesn't care how god damn late it is. If it's quarter after eight, half past ten, or and hour after your curfew, The Rock is still gonna put a show on for these people. The people want to see this match happen and it will happen. But there is no way The Rock is defending his title against two men TONIGHT. You see Vince even if The Rock wins tonight the title is going to have to put on the line again tomorrow night and that just isn't fair. The Rock can only electrify every so often before the people get bored. So Vince let's come up with a little bit of a better idea. The Rock has a plan. If we're going to have a match on Smackdown for the WWF Title, then why don't we tonight have a match putting Hulk Hogan's rematch on the line against Stone Cold Steve Austin. Let's allow the millions AND MILLIONS of fans in the arena tonight to see some real exciting wrestling. So how about it Vince?
(All of a sudden Shane walks in and answers to question for Vince.)
Shane: The answer is no Rock. Hulk Hogan will not put what's in his contract on the line. This match has been signed and whether you like it or not Hogan is going to take back his WWF Title. You can't stop him from claiming what belongs around his waste. If he doesn't get it back tonight then he's going to get it back tomorrow and there's not a damn thing you or your "MILLIONS" of fans can do about it.
(Shane leaves the room and we return to the ring.)
Match 6: The Rock makes Stone Cold tap out to the sharpshooter for the victory.
JR: The Rock has held onto his title! He's made Stone Cold tap out!
King: That means tomorrow night we're going to see Hulk Hogan try to take back the title in a one on one match. Thanks for coming everyone. Don't forget to tune in for Smackdown.
End Show
That's it guys. The return of The New WWF has begun. Rate the show 1-5. 1's worst 5's best. Smackdown will be up as soon as possible. ZLH86
