Smackdown comes on the air, with a video package putting over Vince McMahon’s orders for all three brand champions to defend against his hand-picked challengers… The pyro hits followed immediately by “No Chance in Hell”! Vince McMahon storms down to the ring looking irate!
Cole – I can’t believe this! The Chairman is here…
Coach – Oh he’s here alright, and he’s in a foul mood after what happened to his hand picked hit men on RAW and ECW!
Vince get in the ring, his neck is bulging, he looks like he’s about to have a coronary! He calls for a microphone and when the stage hand takes to long to give it to him he snaps, and drags him by the scruff of his neck into the ring!
McMahon – You think this is funny? You think not giving me MY microphone is funny? You’re just like the rest of them! You, the General Managers… MY OWN WIFE! I hate you all! Get out of my ring! NOW!
The stage hand trips as, in a panic, he attempts to flee the ring!
McMahon – You don’t want to leave the ring? So you don’t want to listen to the boss? Well then I’ve got one thing to say to you! YOU’RE FIIIIIRED! No, ROLL THE DAMN FOOTAGE!
A video airs showing Batista and Carlito’s defeat on their respective shows… The crowd erupts in a chant of ‘You suck, you suck’ at Vince.
McMahon – You’re right, they do suck!
The crowd boo at him, screaming “Asshole” at him…
McMahon – SHUT UP! Shut up all of you! I’ve worked too long and hard to build up this company! I won’t loose control! NOT NOW! I’ve worked too damn hard! So if my wife! MY OWN WIFE! If she wants to get rid of me… It won’t work! I won’t let her! She’ll have to get rid of the whole family! Because as everybody knows, I am a genetic JACKHAMMER! And so I’m bringing back the one man I trust in this world, MY SON SHANE!
‘Here comes the money, here comes the money…” Shane O’ appears on the ramp and skips his way down to the ring, to a surprising pop from the crowd!
Shane – Hey dad, I know how you feel, and I just have one thing to say… The prodigal son has returned! You see my dad-
The crowd cut him off again chanting ‘Asshole’ at them both
McMahon – SHUT UP!
The crowd universally boo the chairman!
Shane – MY DAD has built this company up from nothing! My dad is the greatest promoter in the world today! So when my own mother came to me and told me she wanted to give control of the company to the –
‘I’m all grown up, now…” Stephanie McMahon rushes down to the ring, half in tears with a microphone in hand!
Steph – Daddy, Shane, stop it! Look, whatever she did, I’m sure mom will stop if you just ask her!
McMahon – Stephanie, I love you, you know that! You’re my little princess, but I can’t allow you to stand in my way! Your mother, my wife Linda McMahon is nothing but a scheming bi-
Shane – Look Steph, mom has always been against this family! She’s always wanted control of this company! That’s why WE have to stand together! We should have control of this company! Is your second name not McMahon! Is Vince not your father?!
Steph – I-
McMahon – Stephanie, just stop talking and let me do my business! Paul Heyman, you may have control of ECW, but I control the WHOLE COMPANY! This is MY CORPORATION! I own EVERYTHING! That’s why, tonight, I announce the NEW voice of EXTREME! Say good bye to Joey Styles, he’s no longer under contract! Starting this Sunday, the lead announcer for ECW will be this man!
Mike Adamle makes his way down to the ramp to a smattering of boos, but is mostly ignored!
Adamle – Thank you Mr. McMahon… I assure you I will make you proud here in the WEDF… I mean WW!
“Beat me if you can… Survive if I let you!” the arena lights flash black and orange and Taz makes his way down to the ring!
Cole – Hey it’s Taz! Taz is here!
Coach – I guess he got tired of working on the third show and wanted to come back to the ‘A’ programme!
Taz steps into the ring, and the McMahon family clear out and walk to the back, Steph trying to calm Vince down and Shane yelling at her!
Taz – Mike Adamle… I just wanted to be the first to come down here and congratulate you and robbing the ECW fans of one of the best announcers in it’s history…
Adamle – The Taz! You don’t know how great it is to see you! I know you have some big shoes to fill with me coming to ECW-
Taz – Wow, calm down brotha! Did you say what I think you just said? ‘The Taz’ is NOT amused!
Taz drop the mic and attacks Adamle! He tosses him like a ragdoll with a belly-to-belly-Tazplex, before locking on the Tazmission!
Cole – I guess ‘The Taz’ disagrees with Mr. McMahon’s Corporate Announcer on ECW!

Shannon Moore is in the ring, with a mic in hand!
Moore – I’m sick and TIRED of being made a mockery of here on Smackdown! I’m sick of being the ‘Reject’! That’s why I made this challenge! Any lightweight who thinks they can take me is welcome!
The nWo theme hits and the crowd goes ballistic!
Cole – It’s the bWo! The bWo is here! I don’t believe it! First they invaded RAW and now Smackdown!
Coach – Well if it is ‘the Funak’ who takes on Shannon Moore, Moore will send him back to that ‘D’ show they came from!
Shannon back off and motions them to ‘come get some’!
Stevie – Hey, easy Shannon. You see, we all have one thing to say-
Funaki grabs the microphone from Stevie and raises one eyebrow! The crowd goes ballistic!
Funaki – Finally the Funak has come back… To numbah 1 announca!
He holds the mic up to ‘Stone Cole’ Val Venus! Val begins to gyrate!
Val – OHHHHH! HEEEELLLL! YEEEEAAAAHHH!
Big Stevie Cool grabs the mic and shakes his head!
Stevie – No! Well yeah but what I mean to say was…
All three men crowd around the mic…
bWo – We’re taking over!
Stevie – And Shannon, you don’t look like ‘The Prince of Punk’ to me. No, you look like something different all together! You look like a hardcore legend! And we want you to join!
Moore – But you guys all have cool ‘gimmicks’… What about me? What about RAISIN!
Michaels Cole bursts out laughing at the announce table, while the crowd explodes with chants of ‘Raisin Raisin Raisin’!
Coach – Did he just call himself Raisin!
Cole (still laughing a little) – He sure did partner! He’s the hardcore legend himself! He is Raisin!
Shannon ‘Raisin’ Moore – I’ve been living in rejection for too long. Society spits on me! I’m not going to take it anymore! 2008 will be known as the year of the Raisin! Quote the Raisin: NEVERMORE!
Cole bursts out laughing again, and the production company is forced to temporarily cut his mic!
The Techno hits and Kevin Thorn charges down to the ring!
Coach – Kevin Thorn is here tonight! And it looks like he’s had enough of the antics of the bWo! I wish I could say the same for my broadcast colleague!
‘The Funak’ leaps over the top rope, but Thorn catches him and rams him back first into the corner post! Val sides out of the ring and begins to brawl with Thorn, but is cut off with a quick shot to the throat before ramming him head first into the ring steps, Big Stevie runs at him, only to get backdroped out of the ring!
Cole – Sorry folks, I guess I just got over excited! But The bWo has just been taken out by the Nosferatu himself!
Coach – Yeah, this isn’t looking good for ‘The Raisin’ (Cole snickers)
Thorn drives Moore into the corner and crushes his ribs with a series of huge shoulders to the gut! He backs off and charges at him, looking for the corner splash, but Raisin slips out of the ring, and nails him with a right hand, before grabbing him by the head and dropping his throat across the top rope!
Coach – Well, it seems since these bWo members really improve when they adapt to their new characters and the Raisin is no exception! (Cole snickers again)
Raisin drops him with a Russian Legsweep, and then takes the face-lock on the mat! Thorn gives a ferocious scream, powers his way to his feet and tosses Moore off him! Stone Cold Val Venus gets up on the apron to distract the referee!
Cole – Look at ‘The Funak’!
Funaki throw some powder into the eyes of the big man, then Moore drops him with an Evenflow DDT!
Coach – The RAISINeffect!
Cole – HAHAHA! Good one partner! The bWo does again!
1..2..3! The bWo members clear the ring, and Thorn is going berserk in the ring! He grabs the ref by the throat and set him up on the top rope, before hitting ‘Original Sin’ on him, laying him out!

Cole – And we’re back folks, just moments after seeing ECW’s Blue World Order taking out Kevin Thorn, we saw the king of the damned destroy referee Charles Robinson!
The generic Smackdown theme plays and two unknown wrestlers make their way down to the ring. One of them is well built and stands at around 6’3, the other looks like more of a cruiserweight.
Coach – Well it definitely wasn’t the debut Thorn wanted to make! He looked impressive in the early part of the match, taking out all bWo members, but a loss to Shannon ‘Raisin’ Moore really lit a fire under him!
Chariots hits and Dave Taylor storms down to the ring followed closely by William Regal. The two men look borderline psychotic as they rampage towards the ring!
Justin Roberts – The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, making their way to the ring, the team of William Regal and Dave Taylor, the British Lions! And their opponents-
Roberts doesn’t get the chance to say any more, before Regal and Taylor lay out both men with a non-stop bombardment of kicks and punches! The two jobbers are in a bad way, and the referee is struggling to keep control of the match!
Cole – It’s like watching a pair of lions attacking two gazelles!
Coach – Where do you come up with this stuff Michael? Maybe you should just quit watching ‘animal planet and get back to calling this match!
Back in the ring the referee has finally forced Regal to the apron, but things aren’t looking any better for the jobbers! Taylor is working over the larger of the two in the corner! The big man is down, with the Sambo Champion is working over his legs with massive kicks! He then takes him by the leg and drags his prone form over to the corner; making the tag to Regal!
Cole – well it looks like a short day at the office for the Lions!
Coach – These two men are possibly the most vicious team in the WWE today! I can’t wait to see what they bring to the PPV against the champs!
Regal has applied a knee-brace grape-vine to the big man in the ring, and he’s writhing in pain! On the outside Taylor is screaming at his partner to break the knee! The second jobber is yelling at his partner to hold on and make the tag, but it’s not looking good at all! The smaller man tries to break up the submission, but he’s cut off by Taylor who catches him with a running powerslam! Regal drags the large man and slaps on a STF!
Cole – The Regal Stretch! This has got to be wrecking havoc on that already injured knee!
Coach – And there’s the bell! This one’s over!
Regal kicks the large man out of the ring, who’s still holding his own knee, screaming in agony! In the ring, Taylor has the smaller man in a Dragon Sleeper, and Regal joins!
Cole – A double dragon sleeper!
Coach – And you know what that means!
The Lions wrench the small man through the air and plough him through the mat with a massive ‘Swinging Chariots’!

Justin Roberts – The following contest is scheduled for one fall…
‘Burn In My Light’ hits and ‘The Legend Killers’ make their way down to the ring…
Justin Roberts – Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Drew McIntyre, Armando Estrada and Jamie Noble, representing the ‘Legend Killers’ The Canadian Bulldog, Harry Smith!
Smith slides under the rope and imitates Randy Orton’s pose. Meanwhile Estrada has grabbed a mic from ringside!
Estrada – Everybody! Listen, to me.. Haha! Today, haha, the Canadian Bulldog, the Legend Killer, Harry Smith, kills the legend of ‘Heart Break Kid’ Shawn Michaels, haha! An’ you see, we’re not loosing anymore! We are here to make an impact for Randy! He says if we loose tonight, we’re no longer in the Legend Killers! So tonight-
“H…B…K! I think I cute, I know I’m sexy…” Shawn Michaels dances his way down the ramp to explosion of riotous applause!
Cole – This is the man who will meet Mr. McMahon’s Corporate Animal at Backlash!
Coach – And what a momentum kill it would be if he were to loose to Harry Smith tonight!
Michaels slides into the ring, and is set on immediately by Smith! The Bulldog is stomping mercilessly on the back of his head and neck!
Cole – We know how much this match means to Smith! If he looses this Randy Orton is disbanding the Legend Killers!
Smith whips HBK across the ring, and nails him with a picturesque dropkick! Michaels is struggling in the early going and Smith wastes no time in driving a series of right hands to his jaw on the ground!
Coach – It looks like Shawn is in some real trouble here!
Michaels fights his way to his feet and takes Smith down with a desperation lariat! Michaels drags him to his feet and whips him against the ropes, then comes off them himself, dropping him with a huge flying forearm!
Cole – Both men are down and the referee is starting the 10 count! This could be the end!
Coach – What happens if it’s a draw? Will the legend killers still disband?
We’re at the count of 7 before Shawn nips up to a rousing chorus of tumultuous applause! Smith staggers to his feet, only to take an inverted atomic drop! Michaels then drops him with a hard right and ascends the turnbuckle! Estrada jumps up to the apron, distracting the referee, while at the same time; Jamie Noble shoves Michaels off the top, to the outside! While the referee is still distracted McIntyre nails Michaels in the head with a steel chair! He and Noble roll him back into the ring, and Smith makes a quick cover!
1..2..3!
Justin Roberts – Here is your winner, ‘The Canadian Bulldog’ Harry Smith!
Cole – He did it! Come hell or high water the Legend Killers are staying together!
Coach – And that’s a good thing Michael! These guys are one hell of a team, and great back up for Randy Orton!
In the ring, the beatdown continues, when suddenly, the tell tale drums of the pink and black attack sound over the PA and Bret Hart appears on the ramp! He looks as if he’s about to make the save and the crowd goes ballistic! He takes a step forward, but then for no reason, he turns his back and leaves! Leaving the Legend Killers, to pick apart the Heart Break Kid!

Backstage Chris Jericho is waiting in the parking lot with Mickie James.
Mickie – Hey Chris, I was wondering if you could give me an interview?
Jericho – Well, what kind of a gentleman would I be if I didn’t give you that interview? But Mickie, right now, I’m waiting for someone, and trust me; this is going to be huge! I’m talking about someone who can make an impact! This guy’s been around, baby! He’s been up, down, all around, partying in Chinatown! He’s been known to only hang out with ‘Sexy Beasts’ and I’ll tell you one last thing, he’s got the biggest heart I’ve ever seen…
Mickie – Biggest heart?
A limo pulls up and Jericho smiles and hops in the back seat!

A video package for Backlash airs, putting over all the matches, and focusing on the main event triple threat, highlighting both Chris Jericho and Randy Orton as a possibility for the main event.
Cole – And we’re just moments away from the main event that will determine Smackdown’s representative in the Triple Threat unification match at Backlash!
Coach – And I’ll say this much, I don’t mind which of these guys represents us this Sunday, because either of these guys could be anyone form RAW or ECW!
Cole – I don’t disagree partner, there’s no question Smackdown is the number 1 show here in the WWE! We’re getting word that there’s a confrontation in the back!
Backstage Edge and Finlay are nose to nose!
Finlay – So you want to take my belt? You think you can represent all of Europe?
Edge – Look at you! You’re a disgrace; you’re too old to keep up with a guy like me!
Finlay – I’m too old? Listen to me ‘Edge’ I’ve been fighting since before you were born! I’ve been wrestling since you we’re sucking on your mother’s breast! But we don’t have to wait until Sunday!
Finlay and Edge start throwing punches and Finlay slams his head through the dry wall! Finally it is broken up by security and Finlay is escorted form the building!

Cole – What an explosive situation with Edge and Finlay!
Coach – Finlay had the advantage in a fight, but in a wrestling match, you can’t count out a pro like Edge!
‘Burn In My Light’ blares and Randy Orton comes down the stage, looking confident! No sooner is he halfway down the ramp then ‘I Walk Alone’ hits and Batista struts down to the ring!
Cole – What is he doing here! Isn’t he supposed to be laid up with a concussion?
Coach – He’s just here to help his long-time friend Randy Orton! These guys were in Evolution together, they climbed to the top together!
Cole - Well partner, I suppose turnabout’s fair play, we know Bret Hart has introduced Chris Jericho to someone big! Maybe we’ll find out who it is-
The arena lights begin to flash pink and black and the famous music hits as Bret Hart makes his appearance on the ramp!
Bret Hart – Hold on there Randy. I’ve noticed that you’ve brought a friend to the show tonight.
Randy nods and challenges Hart to come down to the ring.
Bret – No, no Randy, I’m not coming down to that ring. But I’ve been thinking, since you love ‘killing legends’ so much, and since you’ve got your own backup, surely you wouldn’t mind if I helped Chris, to find some ‘backup’… Because this man has been around in this business before you knew what a wrestling ring was. This man brings so much experience to anyone he manages… I’m talking about the first manager I ever had! The Mouth of the South: Jimmy Hart!
The crowd explodes as the countdown hits! ‘Break The Walls Down!” Bret walks backstage just as Chris Jericho and Jimmy Hart make their way to the ramp! Jimmy is yelling down the megaphone at the men in the ring, and Jericho looks very confident!
Cole – Jimmy Hart! Jimmy Hart is back in the WWE!
Coach – Well there’s no discounting what Hart brings to table whenever he manages a wrestler, but if it’s a choice between having Batista or Jimmy Hart watching my back, I’d take Batista anyday!
Cole – Be that as it may partner, Randy Orton isn’t looking happy at all!
Orton is pacing back and forth screaming the air right out of lungs. Batista is trying to calm him down, but to no avail. Jericho and Hart are toying with him, teasing getting into the ring, then pulling out! Randy snaps and charges at them, but Jericho low bridges the top rope, and Randy spills to the outside!
Cole – It’s a rare thing to see Randy Orton get so easily outsmarted!
Coach – Outsmarted! Jericho and Bret Hart tricked Randy!
Cole – Tricked him? He just arranged a manager for the champ!
Orton is fuming on the outside, and the ref is at the count of 6… Jericho is taunting him from inside the ring, and Jimmy Hart is screaming at him through his megaphone! At the count of 8 Randy sides back into the ring but is cut off by Y2J who hits a basement dropkick, knocking him right back outside!
Cole – Look at Orton! He’s snapped!
Orton as ripped the ring steps apart and tosses the top steps down the ramp! He kicks the security barrier, yelling in frustration! At the count of 5 he climbs onto the apron, but Jericho springs off the second rope, knocking him to the outside again!
Coach – This is unfair!
Cole – Unfair? What are you talking about partner?
Coach – Well first Jericho brings Jimmy Hart here, now he wont let Randy into the ring!
Cole – So what? Orton brought Batista! And if Orton had the chance to do this to Jericho he would!
Jimmy is yelling advice to Chris down the megaphone, and Orton teases leaving the arena, but suddenly rushed back to the ring, only to be met by a baseball slide from Jericho! Randy spills to the floor again, and Chris follows him to the outside and lays into him with a series of hard kicks! He then takes him and rolls him back into the ring. Jericho slides into the ring, hits the ropes and flies off the middle rope in an attempt to hit the lionsault! Orton gets he knees up just in time and Chris rolls off him in agony! Randy gets quickly to his feet and attempts to pick Y2J up. Jericho counters him with the double leg and goes for the Walls of Jericho!
Cole – This one could be over quick!
Coach – If Y2J can turn Orton over he may get the victory and retain the title, but Orton isn’t going to give up easily!
The referee moves around to get a better view of the hold, but Orton kicks Jericho off and straight into the ref! Orton rolls out of the ring and knocks Jimmy Hart down, and Batista wastes no time in attacking Jericho! He kicks him in the midsection and sets him up for the Batista Bomb!
Cole – NO! Not like this!
Coach – Do it Dave! Finish this now!
Suddenly the crowd erupts into a chorus of ‘HBK’ chants and he is seen emerging from the crowd! Batista drops Jericho and levels HBK as soon as he gets into the ring! Batista goes to whip him to the turnbuckle, but Shawn counters and sends Batista himself!
Cole – Batista is working with a concussion this isn’t good!
Coach – If Shawn hits this, Batista might not make it to Backlash!
Shawn destroys Batista with a massive ‘Sweet Chin Music’, and the Animal falls like a sack of potatoes, holding his head! Orton slips back into the ring and takes Michaels out with a devastating RKO! Orton stares down at him menacingly, an evil smirk on his face, he turns around just in time to eat a jaw crushing code breaker!
Cole – Jericho’s got it! The ref is getting up!
Coach – NO! NO! NO! He cheated! Randy, you’ve got to kick out!
1...2…3!
Justin Roberts – Here is your winner, AND STILL World Champion! Y2J Chris Jericho!
Jericho and Jimmy Hart are celebrating together in the ring, as a video package airs putting over all the matches on the Backlash Card!
