Chapter 33: Backlash-Mystery!

Randy paced furiously in Evolution's locker room trying to keep his head straight right before Backlash started.

"Okay! You think this is okay? Okay? This is not bloody okay! My wife has still not shown up after I don't know 5 days and you're telling me that this is fucking okay? Are you damn crazy? My match is in an hour and I cannot go out there and just act like nothing's wrong!" Randy screamed at Batista as Batista blinked a few times before Lita took over.

"Randy don't worry! The police will take care of it!" Lita said trying to sooth Randy's feelings.

"Okay it's better if Batista talks to me because if you're the one talking to me I can't scream at you when you say something stupid." Randy said calmly while he smiled sarcastically at Lita.

"Li, why don't you go find you're jealous wanna be divas magazine cover girl friend and go bother her." Batista said getting annoyed at how Randy was acting.

"First thing's first that's my friend, Trish you're talking about! And she is rather obnoxious now and a lot skankier than usual but you're not suppose to insult her like that!" Lita said leaving the room slamming the door behind her.

"Randy will you shut it! And just to correct you Stacy isn't your wife yet!" Batista said trying to make a joke and it didn't help as well as he thought it would. Randy glared at him and Batista just sat down on the couch and sighed.

"There are a lot of things on my mind now and I don't need any jokes Dave. This match with Mick is driving me to the edge and losing Stacy is throwing me off a cliff." Randy said as he sort of calmed down. Just then Batista's cellphone rang.

"Hello?"

"Dave it's Hunter! Did it work?"

"Of course! He's out of his mind right now!" Batista whispered as Randy looked at him with curiosity.

"Who are you talking to?" Randy asked as Batista covered the receiver and mouthed a shhh.

"Where is she?" Batista whispered again as he turned his back on Randy.

"She's fine! And besides it was her idea no need to worry!" Hunter said as Randy stood up and faced Batista suspiciously.

"I'll talk to you later." Batista said as he hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" Randy asked eyeing him.

"Hunter" Batista answered as he slipped his cellphone inside his back pocket.

"And what were you guys talking about?" Randy asked eyebrow raised.

"Um... about his match, yeah that's it! He's arriving in about 5." Batista said as Randy looked at him suspiciously. He has the feeling that there was something fishy going on.

"Okay I need to go to talk to Eric about this." Randy said as he walked out of the room. Batista sat there and exhaled.

"Whew that was close!"

Lita and Trish were talking about the usual. Actually Trish was babbling that she was supposed to be the cover girl of the Divas Magazine.

"It's not fair! I mean I have been Babe of the Year for 3 years in a row and I have been the cover of 2 Divas Magazines for crying out loud! Why did the fans have to pick Torrie?" Trish whined as Lita rolled her eyes.

"You know what else could piss you off?" Lita asked as Trish shrugged her shoulders.

"Well every day or every week or something like that they reduced the list of the women to get the cover girl. The top 4 was you, Stacy, Gail and Torrie." Lita said as Trish looked annoyed.

"And then the top 2 was Gail and Torrie meaning you were out of the competition before Torrie won. Gail got 47% of the vote while Torrie got 53%." Lita stated as Trish clawed her blonde locks.

"What? You mean the fans chose Gail instead of Stacy or me? This is a catastrophe-" Trish said but Lita cut her of.

"And before you forget you made that statement about Torrie-" Lita said but Trish cut her off.

"What damn statement?" Trish shouted as Lita laughed and took 2 pieces of paper out of her pocket. She handed the pieces of paper to Trish as Trish's eyes widened in horror.

"Where did you get this?" Trish asked.

"Um... Trish just look at the top of the page there's a logo there." Lita said in a duh tone.

"WWE.com?" Trish said.

"Yup! Where else?" Lita said as she tilted her head back.

"Divas Gone Wild Trish and Torrie duke it out over the 2004 Divas cover by Brian Solomon." Trish said reading below the bold lettered word headlines. She continued reading aloud as Gail and Molly walked in laughing with Victoria. The Divas stopped and sat down with Lita and Trish

"A few weeks ago, WWE.com asked fans to vote on who they would like to appear on the cover of this year's WWE Divas Swimsuit Magazine. Torrie Wilson was the overwhelmingly popular choice, leading to her first-ever Divas cover. Many were surprised when Trish Stratus, who has been featured on two of the three previous Divas Swimsuit covers, did not fare better in the voting. Apparently, this did not sit very well with Trish herself, and it seems a little inter-promotional controversy is brewing between these two ladies.

"The fans are fickle, believe me," said Trish when reached for comment. "I'm not surprised about how they turned on me like this. They probably assumed Torrie would be naked inside the magazine. She seems to be doing a lot of that these days. Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter to the publishers that the magazine would have sold more copies with me on the cover. I don't wanna brag, but I'm a proven commodity I've been on over 50 magazine covers. There really isn't anyone as cover-worthy as me. Maybe somebody like Pamela Anderson, she might be in my league."

Ever the lady, the demure Torrie Wilson tried to keep her cool as best as possible when confronted with Stratus' opinions.

"Honestly, I would never have assumed that the fans would choose me over Trish," she responded modestly. "I don't know why they did, but I appreciate it very much. I'm very flattered by it. Trish doesn't think I'm a 'proven commodity'? I guess that's why I've had two highly successful issues of Playboy. I'm a proven commodity also, but in the mainstream, not just in wrestling."

The more we informed Torrie of Trish's attitude toward her selection, the more Ms. Wilson lost her controlled veneer.

"It's not a problem," Trish said, laughing off Torrie's triumph. "Actually, I ran out of room on my wall of magazine covers anyway, so I couldn't possibly fit another. Especially after I put up my brand new Raw Magazine cover [May issue, on sale April 27]. It's my fourth one, you know. I guess it was about time I threw a cover Torrie's way."

"Well, I appreciate her throwing me a bone," answered Torrie sarcastically. "What she doesn't realize is that if the fans would've been choosing the past couple of years, Trish would never have been on any covers. It probably also hurts that the editor of Divas is a female, meaning there was no one for her to sleep with to get herself on the cover."

This seems to be a common refrain regarding Trish lately." Trish stopped as she looked up at the other Divas who were listening intently. She then turned to the next page and continued reading.

"Her recent actions at WrestleMania and since that time have alienated a great deal of her fans, and it's reasonable to assume that this could account for the change in fan reaction. In fact, most fan reaction towards Trish these days consists of loud chants of "SLUT!"

"Slut?" Trish asked. "I haven't noticed fans were calling me that. Why would they?"

The 2004 WWE Divas Swimsuit Magazine goes on sale at newsstands everywhere next Tuesday. If you can't wait till then, then order your issue right here, right now on WWE.com!"

Trish stopped reading and looked up again at the other Divas.

"Trish were you that mad when you did the interview?" Gail asked as Victoria looked at Trish with pity.

"I was but then I showed my true colors." Trish sat there and returned the article to Lita.

"Trish why did you have to say that the fans thought that Torrie would appear naked in the magazine." Molly said as Trish frowned.

"And you didn't have to tell all the people that you had a magazine wall and brag that you threw Torrie a cover." Victoria said too.

"And Torrie was really a good sport about this. She just said that she's not as good as you and that she was surprised that the fans chose her in another option of you." Lita said cutting in the conversation.

"And you shouldn't have said that Pamela Anderson was in your league and that you're a commodity cuz' let's face it the fans like Torrie better because she did not sleep with all the men she bumped heads with." Nidia chimed in as she got out from the shower.

"What do you mean?" Trish asked firmly.

"Well Torrie only slept with Vince, Tajiri and Billy Gunn in her storylines and in real life with Billy Kidman cuz' he is her husband while you on the other hand slept with Test, A-Train (known as Albert before), Val Venis, Vince, The Rock, Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho, Christian and more recently Tyson Tomko." Nidia stated.

"Now that you mentioned all of that I'm starting to get dizzy." Trish said as she rubbed her forehead.

"See? You had a better chance of winning the contest when you were in your face storyline but now as the article said the fans call you a slut." Nidia again said as Lita nodded.

"She's right and I forgot to tell you they did a poll if you had the right to get mad for not winning the cover and 32.7% of the fans said Yes, she has the right and 67.3% said No, get over it." Lita said as Trish looked at her with horror.

"So much for Babe of the Year 4 years in a row." Trish said as Lita shook her head.

"You still have a chance! And if this is contest is versus Smackdown they will definitely lose! They only have 3 divas left and the 2 most dominant divas are here on Raw!" Lita said as Victoria raised her hand.

"Trish being one and whose the other?"

"Stacy Keibler." Lita replied.

"Why Stacy?" Molly asked.

"Because Stacy and Trish were the 2 finalists left last year! They were the final 2 who survived! And plus Stacy is much more bigger than Torrie and Sable combined!" Lita said as Trish smiled.

"How do you know that?" Gail asked confused.

"Easy! Stacy's Stuff Magazine sold more copies that Torrie and Sable's duo Playboy Magazine!" Lita said as all of them ahhed.

"That's the first time I heard that! Where do you get all of these things?" Trish asked as Lita rubbed her fingernails against her Evolution shirt.

"Internet!" Lita said as Gail nodded.

"And when did you connect to the Internet?" Molly asked referring to their busy schedule.

"I borrowed Stacy's laptop." Lita said, as Trish looked confused.

"I thought that Stacy was nowhere to be found." Trish said as Lita nodded smiling.

"That's what Randy thinks but we know where she is really." Lita said as the divas huddled together and discussed where she was.

30 minutes after all of these things happened Backlash started with Ric Flair vs. Shelton Benjamin. And none other than half of the self proclaimed world greatest tag team won the match.

"Damn! I thought Ric would win!" Batista said as Randy just stared into space.

"I think David is still in his mind." Hunter said watching at Randy's promo.

"Yeah well when he came back after Wrestlemania David was long gone. But I figure that Ric is still worried about David." Hunter said as Batista nodded.

Randy just did a promo with Todd after Ric's match. He was talking about how he would beat Cactus Jack or Mick whatever and that Shelton was a load of crap and other things but really his mind was just on one thing... Stacy.

The countdown to Randy's match was on and now there was just 5 minutes until Randy will march down that ring and there he was standing at the gorilla position waiting for Evolution's music to hit. As his music hit he, with all his anger and fury, stalked to the ring with trashcan in hand for his match with Mick Foley. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ During his match Randy never took his mind off Stacy. All the thumbtacks that will stick into his body will hurt as much as his heart was right now. Hunter and Batista looked on as Ric was covering his eyes when they were watching his match.

"I can't watch this!" Stacy screeched crying as Hunter got up and walked over to her. She was in Evolution's locker room watching on as Randy walked down the ring with a trashcan full of um... things. (I know you're wondering where did Stacy come from? You'll find out in the next chapter just read on! If there is one...)

"Calm down! He's going to live... hopefully." Hunter said as Stacy cried on his bare shoulder.

"How can I calm down my husband is going to be beaten the hell out of! Are you out of your freaking mind! I thought my plan would make it all better!" Stacy said as Hunter rolled his eyes and Batista chuckled.

"You know you are acting like how Randy acted earlier tonight. He also freaked out and blurted out that you're his wife but in fact you guys aren't married yet and the match has not even started yet." Batista cut in as Stacy glared at him.

"And he also glared at me." Batista said as Stacy's tears came coming down.

"Will you stop it Dave! You're scaring the living daylights out of her!" Ric said as Mick Foley (or Cactus Jack) went after Randy with the barbed wire bat luckily Randy dodged every shot that Mick threw at him.

"Shit!" Batista shouted as The Hurricane entered the locker room.

"Guys can I watch in here? The monitor at the interview area is being blocked by Kane." Hurricane said as Hunter nodded. Hurricane entered with Rosey as the two sat on the couch.

Randy gave Mick a Drop Toe-Hold into the steel steps. Randy was now getting very annoyed as Mick and him were fighting for the barbed wire bat in short Barbie.

"No!" Stacy screamed as Hunter rolled his eyes again.

"Will you just calm down! I feel that everytime you scream Randy gets bonked or something."

"Man Randy! You can do this!" Hurricane shouted as Batista and Ric looked at him strangely.

"We thought you were routing for Mick." Batista said as Rosey looked at him with a 'what?' look on his face.

"Of course not!" Hurricane said as Rosey nodded.

"All of the locker room is routing for Randy right now but the only problem is the monitor is being hogged by Kane and all of the locker room except Eric Bischoffs office doesn't have a T.V." Rosey said as Hunter looked at him.

"What?" Hunter asked as Stacy stifled a laugh. Rosey took out a mini recorder and played back what he said.

"All of the locker room is routing for Randy right now but the only problem is the monitor is being hogged by Kane and all of the locker room except Eric Bischoffs office doesn't have a T.V."

"I didn't mean it that way dumbass! Call the rest of the locker room now and tell them they could watch in Evolution's locker room!" Hunter said as Rosey and Hurricane hurriedly ran out of the locker room.

After 15 seconds they were back with almost all the superstars of Raw.

"How did you fuckin do that?" Batista screamed as the Hurricane did his pose.

"I have superpowers like Flash!" Hurricane replied as all the superstars crammed in the locker room and watched on.

It was now in sort of the middle of the match and everybody was screaming, hollering or cheering whatever you call it.

"Go Randy go!" everybody screamed as Stacy lead the cheer.

Stacy felt much better than before when she saw what was happening to Randy but seeing all the other superstars and hearing their supports for Randy made her happy to know that everyone was routing for him too.

Randy and Mick were now in their tired state Randy just gave Mick a back suplex and pinned for a two count.

"Damn!" Shelton shouted as all superstars stared at him.

"What? Now a black man gets stared at when he says damn." Shelton said as the superstars turned back to the monitor.

Randy tried to hit Mick with the Barbie but Mick pushed the bat away and gave Randy a low blow.

"Ouch! Da haneymun will nut bi desim agin!" Tajiri said as Stacy shuddered and shook her head. 'That had to hurt!' Stacy thought as the whole locker room laughed at Tajiri.

Randy threw the Barbie to the mat and Mick pulled out Mr. Socko and put it on his hand then he saw the Barbie and grabbed it. He charged at Randy and hit him to leave Randy busted wide open and sending him to the mat. Mick then worsened it by raking the bat on Randy's head making it bleed more. Then Mick put the barbed wire in between Randy's legs and gave him a leg drop to send the Barbie where it hurts the boys the most.

"Okay now la (the) honeymoon wilbe postponed." Sylvan said French accent still intact as the whole room of superstars ouched.

Now Mick already, with Barbie in hand, took gasoline can from under the ring and poured gasoline all over the bat but before he could light it Eric came strutting out and said that the fans would never see the end of Backlash because the fore marshal will shut the show down. Mick threw the Barbie and lighter outside the ring. Then he took a cookie sheet (much like the cookie sheet that Debra hit Stone Cold Steve Austin with) and hit Randy on the head.

"Now that sent birdies to fly all over Randy's head." Chris Benoit said as Shawn Michaels whistled to make bird sounds.

"Will you two stop it?" Hunter said as Shawn laughed.

"Anything mom!" Shawn said pretending to suck his thumb as the whole room erupted with laughter.

"You know if you were a girl you'd be pregnant by now." Hunter said as Shawn and Chris looked confused.

"What the hell did you say?" Shawn asked not getting the joke.

"Cuz' I know what you have been doing all night long!" Hunter said mimicking Shawn's thumb sucking as the whole room erupted in laughter again as they got the joke.

"I am not gay!" Shawn said as the whole room chanted 'Holy Shit' with the fans.

Randy just body slammed Mick into the barbed wire bed and all of the fans were chanting 'Holy Shit! Holy Shit!' Before that what had happened-Mick tried to knock Randy out with the board but Randy threw powder at Mick's face.

Randy then put the bed of barbed wire in the corner of the ring and had a hard time sending Mick on the bed but yet again he succeeded not only that he dropped kicked Mick again to the bed of barbed wire.

"That had to reek of pain dude!" Edge said as all the superstars in the room looked at him.

"What dudes and dudets? Do I totally reek of awesomeness?" Edge asked.

The whole room fell silent except for the sound coming from the T.V. with the fans chanting 'Foley! Foley!' It could be also heard in the room live and not from the television.

"No!" all the superstars said together as Edge frowned.

"Come on guys don't kill poor Edge's ego... he's just totally reeking of loneliness." Christian said as Trish smiled.

"Shut up!" Chris Jericho said as Trish fumed.

Randy was now preparing to RKO Mick but not just any RKO... no... it was an RKO with thumbtacks on the mat. But not so fast Mick shoved Randy to the mat and got to be the pincushion for all of those thumbtacks. Randy was now thinking of the thumbtacks and not Stacy. It took that much pain to block every last worry about Stacy away but that only lasted for a couple of seconds as he was rolled up by Mick.

"1...2...!" the referee said but Randy kicked out.

"OH MY GOD!" Stacy screamed as she saw the footage of Randy being pushed on the mat.

"Um... will you calm down?" Lita said as Stacys eyes began to water. She was feeling the pain that Randy was feeling.

"I can't watch this anymore!" Stacy said as she ran out of the room.

Lita tried to go after her but Batista held her hand to stop her. Lita looked in his eyes to find pity and ignorance

"She needs to calm down by herself..." Batista started but Lita cut him off.

"No she doesn't! If Randy sees her... her plan is ruined!" Lita said as Batista stood there didn't see Randy escape out of the ring and tried to get away but Mick was behind his heels and they wound up back in the arena. Randy was now being thrown off the stage as Lita looked at the screen. Referee Michael Chioda was calling back up and WWE Officials came and they checked on Randy while two more referees were restraining Mick.

"Shit! This match is over!" William Regal said, as the superstars were surprise to hear William say Shit.

"Did you just say shit?" Rob Conway asked but was cut off when Mick Foley knocked out the two referees restraining him and gave Randy an elbow drop from the stage. Mick covered Randy and got the two count again.

"I need to find Stacy okay not just because of the plan but because she needs someone to tell her that Randy's going to be fine." Lita said slipping out of the room with WWE Raw Superstars hollering for Randy.

She found Stacy after a few minutes and tried to comfort her while trying to listen if the match was over.

"Stace he needs you I know that but you'll get to see him later." Lita said soothingly as Stacy nodded.

"I know Li but he needs me now!" Stacy said as Lita sighed.

"Your plan will not work if you can't wait." Lita said as she rubbed Stacy's back.

"Okay I'll wait but you have to keep me updated on what is happening to him. Call me on my cell if anything happens." Stacy said as she stood up and brushed her tears away.

"Okay you better go now. And just get the key to Randy's hotel room at the front desk of the hotel." Lita said as Stacy nodded and walked away to the parking lot. Just then Lita heard Evolution's music playing and guessed that Randy had already won the match and expected Dave and Ric to be escorting Randy and that all the people had cleared out of Evolution's locker room.

AN: GUYS THIS IS MY LAST CHAPTER... THIS IS MY LAST STRAND OF HOPE... HOPE YOU LIKED IT...
