Chapter 14: Special Edition of Smack Down!

Vince McMahon started off the show by casually walking down to the ring in his wrestling outfit.

"Now, before I get to this Ministry situation...I'd like to address the other situations. Smack Down...tonight is the last show. There is no need for it. So, as of Monday the only shows will be, Monday Night Raw and Saturday's Night Main Event, which by the way, premiers next Saturday. Now...enough about that...ladies and gentlemen..may I introduce to you...Raw's New General Manager...BRET "THE HITMAN" HART!" Vince said.

"Oh! What an announcement. Bret is probably going to stick it to HBK, though. That's for sure. I guess he is not going to wrestle anymore then." JR said.

Bret walked down to the ring. He grabbed a mic, while shaking Vince's hand.

"Haha..he has kept us in suspense for too long. Yeah, that's right...I'm the new RAW GM." Bret said.

Linda McMahon's music hit. Vince started talking. "Oh no you don't Linda. Your not going to ruin this." Vince said.

Linda got to the ring and took the mic from her husband. "No, Vince. Your wrong. Every single thing I've tried to do, you've somehow managed to manipulate it into something that benefits you. Marty Jannety. Perfect example. You manipulated him into costing Shawn Michaels the WWE Championship. Your not going to manipulate this GM. So, I've gone the lengths to hire a new GM. He has experience in this field. Ladies and gentlemen..your new RAW GM...STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN." The crowd went nuts.

Stone Cold made his way to the ring. Austin got into the ring and flipped Vince and Bret the bird. Bret flipped out but Austin just got the mc from Linda.

"What?" Austin said. "Stone Cold is the.."

"Shut up! Austin your not the GM. I'm the chairman of this company..and I say Bret gets the position." Vince cut Austin off.

"Now, Vince. I knew it would come to this..so live here, this Monday on Raw...for the GM position, it will be Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin!" Linda said. Austin kicked Bret in the gut and gave him a Stunner. Austin left the ring and walked backstage with Linda as Vince checked on Bret Hart.

Maria Kanellis vs. Torrie Wilson

WWE Women's Championship

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the Women's Championship. Introducing first, she is the challenger...Maria!" Lillian said.

Maria walked to the ring, in a short skirt and a little shirt. The men in the crowd went crazy.

"And her opponent...from Boise, Idaho...the NEW Women's Champion...Torrie Wilson!" Lillian said.

Torrie came to the ring, accompanied by Candice Michelle. The crowd went nuts for the Playboy cover girls. Torrie got into the ring and Maria immediately took her down with a hard kick straight to the gut. Torrie held her stomach as Maria sized her up again and gave her another kick to the gut. Torrie started coughing. Candice screamed at the ref to stop Maria. Torrie tried to get up but the vicious Maria kicked her once more. Candice begged the ref to stop Maria. Maria gave Candice a baseball slide that took her out.
