A video package airs recapping the birth of ‘the Insiders’ last week. It goes on to highlight Vince McMahon’s ultimatum to Ric Flair. As we go to the show, there are no pyrotechnics, only a lone spotlight in the middle of the ring, illuminating Ric Flair. The crowd is going wild with chants of ‘Flair Flair Flair’, while the camera pans around the backstage area, showing various Smackdown Superstars, intensely watching monitors, transfixed by the decision about to be made by the Nature Boy!
Cole – Welcome to Smackdown and we are waiting with bated breath, as General Manager Ric Flair is about to announce his decision! Will the GM join the Insiders?
Coach – I’m putting this out there right now, I hope he does join Mr. McMahon’s new coalition and pledges Smackdown’s support! I know I have!
Ric looks a little upset as he lifts the microphone to his mouth. The crowd give one final “Flair” chant. He begins to pace the ring, the spotlight following him.
Flair – I have never-
The crowd pops, cutting him off
Flair – I have never been put in this situation before. I thought I’d done it all in this business. I’ve wrestled the very best, men like, Harley Race, Arn Anderson, Sting…
The crowd erupts with a “We want Sting” chant, but die off as Flair begins to speak again.
Flair – I wish my friends were here today, to help me make this decision, but ever since Vince McMahon killed WCW, we’ve been separated. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve made new friends here. Hell, I’m still the jet flyin’, kiss stealin’ whealin’ dealin’ sonofa-gun!
The crowd goes ballistic and picks up the “Flair” chant! When suddenly the drums and base of the pink and black attack hit, and Bret Hart makes his way down to the ring, wearing his ‘street clothes’. He walks around the ring, and picks up a microphone from behind the announcers table, locking eyes with the Coach!
Coach – What’s this idiot doing here? He’s got no business here tonight! Go on get out of here!
Bret smiles at Coach and shakes his head in disbelief before he turns his back on him and steps into the ring. He walks right up to Ric Flair and offers his hand, Flair shakes it and the crowd explodes with a “Bret Hart” chant!
Bret - Hold your applause, I’m not here with good news, or even to cut another shoot on that piece of garbage, Vincent Kennedy McMahon!
The crowd boos at Vince’s name.
Bret – Yeah, I know how you feel… The great thing about having done it all in this business is, I’ve got no problem saying this: “Vince I’m tired of all your sh*t! I’m not sticking around while you kill this company with another power trip. I QUIT!”
Bret throws the microphone onto the mat and exits to a deafening chant of “Please don’t go”! Bret walks right out of the arena and the camera cuts back to Ric Flair who looks disappointed in the ring.
Cole – Wow! What a shocker partner! Bret Hart has quit the WWE!
Coach – Good riddance! The man was –
Ric Flair cuts him off screaming:
Flair – SHUT UP COACH! Just shut up! Cut his head set! Coachman, you suck! Everything you do sucks! You’re FIRED!
Cole – Fired? Coach, what’s going on?!
Coach gets up from the announce table and screams “you’ll pay for this” at Flair, before storming off!
Flair – Before I make my decision, I’d like to assure you all, regardless of what happens, I’ve ensured we’re going to have a REAL colour commentator! He’ll debut later tonight! But on to business-
“No chance, that’s what you’ve got..” Vince and Shane McMahon walk down the ramp, and the arena lights turn on, spoiling the mood. The crowd is irate and goes ballistic, screaming abuse at McMahon! The McMahon’s slide into the ring and Shane produces a microphone from his jacket!
Shane O’ – Well, Mr. Fair, the time has come for you to make a decision, and the fact of the matter is this…
“I’m all grown up… now…” Stephanie McMahon makes here appearance felt with tears in her eyes as she comes down the ramp mic in hand! The crowd pops chanting “Thank you Steph!”
Steph Mc – Daddy, Shane, stop this! This is ridiculous! Forget this take over! Let the people have what they want!
Vince – SHUT UP! Since when do these idiots know what they want? You disappoint me Stephanie, especially when you think about whose taken my side! You need to fall in line before I-
“Behold the king, the king of kings…” Triple H storms down to the ring and calls for a mic!
HHH – Hey, Vince watch your mouth! That’s my w-friend you’re talking to! (To Stephanie) Hey Steph.
Cole – I don’t believe this! We’ve got to go to commercial!

Cole – and we’re back with this explosive situation in the ring!
Triple H is right in Vince McMahon’s face, while Shane and Stephanie are trying to pull both men off each other! Ric Flair stands in the corner, watching bemused as the McMahon family tears itself apart when from out of nowhere ‘The Dude’ blares plays through the arena and Dude Love makes his way down the ramp, doing the ‘Charlton’ and strutting like nobody’s business!
Dude – OW! Hold on there McMahon’s! Where’s the love gone? Well it seems like there’s just one cat who that can make peace in this broken home! But that’s not the Dude, no no, it’s the Dude’s personal friend, one foxy lady, who you know, very well Vince my man!
The unforgettable up-beat synthesiser hits and Linda McMahon makes her way down to the ring!
Cole – I don’t believe it! The entire McMahon family is here, with the Dude! This is madness!
Linda McMahon and Dude Love make their way down to the ring, and Shane looks like he’s about to have a fit! Vince, on the other hand, looks near tears and is fervently shaking his head repeating ‘not Dude Love’ over and over again!
Linda and the Dude get into the ring, and Love hands her the microphone!
Linda – Vince, I don’t know why you’re doing this, but I suppose it makes good television. I’m going to offer you one warning, if you harm our daughter, OUR daughter, in any way, I will be forced to take drastic measures to remove you as the chairman of the board…
Vince – I knew it! I knew it! You were always after my job! You, you, you succubus!
Dude – Ouch daddy-o! That’s some harsh vibes you’re bringing down on this fine young thang! OW! Why don’t we all try to get along baby? Like in the good old days!
Shane – Listen Mick, you’ve got no business here!
Dude – Mick? Who’s Mick?
Shane – Foley, you idiot, shut up! You’re out of line, and the fact of the matter is-
Dude – Oh! Mick Foley, I don’t know him personally, by I hear he’s one cool cat! A really groovy guy!
Vince – SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! I can’t take it any more! What the hell do you think you’re doing out here? You’re a RAW superstar! Get out of my-
Flair – Well, actually Vince, he’s not…
Vince – ring right… WHAT?! Ric, think about what you’re saying…
Dude – I think what the big cat is saying, is that this groovy Dude is no longer a RAW Superstar!
Vince – Shut up! I hate you! You ruined everything for me in the 90’s and you’re doing it again!
Flair – Well you see Vince, I knew Coachman wasn’t exactly ‘impartial’ so I made a deal with the RAW GM-
Shane – You made a deal with Bischoff?
Vince – He’ll be hearing about this…
Dude – Well not exactly daddy-o. He made a deal with the RAW General Manager, a cool cat by the name of… well let’s just say he’s a Stone Cold badass!
Vince – WHAT! Ric is this true?
Flair – Vince, listen to me! I’m only going to say this once! I will never buckle to you! Smackdown will never join your insiders! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Vince – Shut –
Flair – WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Vince – I said –
Flair – WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
From nowhere the Dude grabs ‘the game’ in the ‘Love Clutch’! Shane O’Mac runs at him only to feel some ‘Sweet Shin Music’ and then a second ‘Love Clutch!’ Vince goes ballistic trying to rip off his jacket, but while he’s distracted Flair levels him with the lowblow! John Cena sprints down the ramp to make the save, but he’s cut off halfway down the ramp by Raven, who’s hopped the security barrier with a Singapore cane! He lays into Cena with the cane, while Vince, Shane and Triple H bail out of the ring! Ric Flair, Dude Love, Linda and Stephanie McMahon are left celebrating in the ring!
Cole – This is insanity! We’re getting word of some commotion from the back!

The camera cuts to the back, and Matt Striker is laid out, bleeding from the head, his plaid sweater is torn, and pulled half off his body! DH Smith, Drew McIntyre and Jamie Noble are standing around discussing what’s just happened in hushed tones!
Mickey James – Hey, hey guys! What happened here? Why is Matt Striker here and… OMIGOD! Is he bleeding? Did you guys do this?
McIntyre – Are you mad?
DH Smith – The boss wouldn’t approve…
Noble – This wasn’t us!
Mickey – Well who was it then?
Noble – It was… Well you’re not going to believe this…
McIntyre – The man’s a psycho…
Smith, Noble and McIntyre – Cactus Jack!
Mickey – But we just saw Dude Love…
Mick Foley walks by behind the group, in the background, stoops down to look at the fallen Matt Striker, shakes his head and clicks his tongue, grabbing the attention of the others. They looks shocked to see him and Mickey runs over to him.
Mickey – Mick, Mick! Can I get a word!
Foley – Hey Mickey! Of course you can, what’s going on? This looks like the work of Cactus Jack, that dastardly fellow, but I didn’t know he was here today…
Mickey – But Mick wh-
Foley – What am I doing, right here in Toronto Canada?
We hear the crowd pop from the arena.
Foley – I’m here to take over the job of Smackdown colour analyst, and hey, I’m not the Coach! Have a nice day!
Mick walks off, but stops and walks back to Mickey...
Foley – Here’s a scoop for you though Mickey, Raven’s still in the arena…
Mick walks out to the arena…

The Car Crashes and Mick Foley makes his way down to the ring, the crowd exploding with chants of “Foley, Foley, Foley!” He rolls into the ring, and asks Justin Roberts for the mic!
Mick – it’s great to be here tonight, in Toronto!
The crowd pops
Mick – I’ll tell you, I’ve seen it all! The Dude and suspect Cactus Jack being here! I thought they were both retired… But the reason I’m out here is to take over as the head colour commentator.
The crowd pops again and chants “Thank you Mick!”
Mick – I know, I know… I’m not the Coach!
The crowd goes ballistic and Mick makes his way to the announce table.
‘Wild eyed Southern Boys’ hits and Chris Harris charges down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. He poses, showing off his handcuffs, before removing his robe and waiting in the corner.
Justin Roberts – The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, in the ring, representing the ‘Wild Cowboys’ and ‘JBL’s Firm’ the ‘Wildcat’ Chris Harris!
‘Hey you!’ Brian Kendrick sprints down to the ring, and before Justin Roberts even has the chance to announce the match, the two competitors are brawling in the ring! Roberts bails out, and the ref calls for the bell.
Foley – Interestingly, these two are representing their respective teams, both of which are looking to earn a shot at the world tag team championships!
Cole – That’s a good point partner, a win here could boost either team to a world title shot!
In the ring Harris has taken control of Kendrick, and has backed him into the corner. The referee counts to 4, and then forces Harris to pull out of the corner. Harris wastes no time in charging back in at him with an attempted low shoulder block. Kendrick counter leap-froging over him and hitting a sunset flip out of the corner for a quick two count! Kendrick is up to his feet quicker than Harris, and nails him with a huge calf kick! Harris rolls out of the ring as he hits the mat, frustrated, but Kendrick doesn’t let him recover…
Mick – and a huge suicide poncha from the explosive Brian Kendrick!
Cole – I don’t think anyone expected Kendrick to have this much control in this match!
He tries to pick Harris up off the floor on the outside, but is met with a thumb to the eyes! Harris follows up, by pulling him onto his shoulders and ramming his spine into the ringpost! He slides him back into the ring, and scoops him up for the Catatonic, but Kendrick counters it into a swinging front facelock! Harris over powers him, countering the DDT attempts with a belly-to-belly suplex, sending Kendrick across the ring! Kendrick recovers immediately and ascends the turnbuckle! He leaps off with a cross body attempt, but…
Foley – NO! I don’t believe it! Harris cuts him in half with the Spear! That’s it, 1,2,3!
Cole – and this one is over… Hold on, that can’t be… It’s Umaga!
From under the ring, Umaga slides into the ring, and Spikes Harris! He then sets him up in the corner before hitting his running thump! Harris looks unconscious as we go to commercial…

Post by justhugo on May 15, 2008 8:57:27 GMT -5
Cole – We’re back folks, and we’ve got some bad news… roll the footage.
Footage airs of the EMTs loading Chris Harris onto a stretcher. They seem tentative of his neck, and put a brace on him. Lance Cade is at ringside with JBL yelling at the referee for not stopping Umaga. Oddly, Kevin Thorn is stand silently on the ramp, showing absolutely no emotion…
Foley – It’s a shame to see such a great match ruined by something like that. I mean, you’re looking at Chris Harris, a man who has all the potential in the world, and Umaga, one of the most dominant men in the sport today. If you put these guys into the ring it’d be best seller! I hate seeing that go to waste.
Cole – Well we’re getting word that Mickie James is backstage with the World Tag Team Champions, The British Lions… over to you Mickie.
Mickie – Thanks Michael, I am here with the Team of William Regal and Dave Taylor, and guys, I’ve got to ask you, what do you make of this? I mean either team could have been your opponents for Judgment Day…
Taylor – It doesn’t matter who we face!
Regal – As far as we’re concerned if James Mitchell’s Ministry want to act like a group of no good hooligans, that’s their business. But as far as feeling bad for ‘The Wild Cowboys’, it’s always a shame to see a great competitor go down…
Taylor – But if it removes some competition from our patch, it’s all the better for us.
Mickie – So which team would you like to face at Judgement Day?
Regal – It doesn’t matter, haven’t you been listening? We’re the best team in all of the WWE, and I doubt there’s anyone who – what do you want you little pup?
Carlito has made his way into the picture and goes nose to nose with Regal.
Carlito – Take it easy. I’m here ‘cus Mr. McMahon wants to know if you’re going to join the Insiders.
Taylor blindsides him and lays him out on the floor! He follows up by stomping on the back of his head a few times before turning to Regal.
Regal – I think what my friend is trying to say is, we’re still thinking…

Cole – Well we’re back at ringside, and what an explosive night it’s been so far!
Foley – That’s right! We’ve seen the McMahons here tonight, and we know where Mr. McMahon goes, the Insiders are sure to follow!
Cole – Right you are partner, but that’s not all!
Foley – Right again Cole, we’ve seen Dude Love, and we’ve even heard Cactus Jack is here tonight!
Cole – Come off it partner, we all know that you-
Foley – that I am a close personal friend of The Dude’s?
Cole – What ever you say partner… and what about the sudden appearance of Raven? He showed up out of nowhere and attacked John Cena with that cane!
Foley – Speaking of which, I happen to know for a fact that Raven is still here tonight!
Cole – And how do you know that?
Foley – Now I can’t let all my secrets go just yet can I?
Justin Roberts – The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, from St. Louis, Missouri, he is the ‘Legend Killer’ Randy Orton!
Randy makes his way down to the ring and poses for the crowd on the top turnbuckle. He is followed closely by Armando Estrada, who looks concerned, and keeps trying to talk to Randy, who ignores him and tries to brush him off.
Justin Roberts – and the opponent…
The count down hits and: “BREAK THE WALLS DOWN!” Chris Jericho makes his appearance below the Titantron, his arms held out in his unmistakable pose.
Justin Roberts – The former Smackdown Heavyweight Champion. He is ‘Y2J’ Chris Jericho!
Jericho walks down and circles the ring twice, before walking over to the announce table and taking the microphone.
Jericho – Well, it seems like Vince McMahon has driven another legend away from this business. Congratulations, by the way. But the real thing that I can’t understand is this; Vince, the board wants to limit your involvement in the product, why do you keep screwing everyone over to get what you want? I mean, in one fell swoop you managed to drive away two of the best friends I’ve got in the WWE. Jimmy and Bret Hart! And what’s more, you had the nerve to have that little sycophant, Matt Striker, try and talk me in to joining the Insiders, before Cactus Jack beat him within an inch of his life. Oh, thanks for that Mick…
Foley – Why’s he thanking me? I didn’t even know Cactus Jack was here tonight!
Jericho – I’m glad I didn’t get the chance to give you my answer, because this is something I want the whole world to hear. Vince, I will NEVER-
Crowd – EVER
Jericho – NEEEEVER
CROWD – EEEEVER
Jericho – EEEEVER join the Insiders.
The crowd goes ballistic, but Randy Orton’s heard enough! He exits the ring without any further delay and cracks Jericho in the back of his head with a huge forearm! Orton follows up, driving Jericho’s head into the steel steps! Y2J is stunned and crumbles to the floor! Orton lines him up and as Jericho slowly staggers up to his feet Orton hits a running punt to the side of his head! Jericho looks knocked out, and Orton takes advantage, sliding him back into the ring…
Foley – This is disgusting, I mean the match hasn’t even started and already Randy’s set out to injure his opponent.
Cole – Good point partner, but are you saying you never set out to injure an opponent?
Foley – I may have in my ECW or even Japan days, but it’s been a long time since the King of the Deathmatch!
Cole – So you admit you were Cactus Jack?
Foley – I’ve got no idea what you’re talking about! I wrestled as Jack Foley!
Orton is on the mat, slithering on his belly, watching Jericho, who’s slowly dragging himself to his feet…
Cole – RKO! RKO! And now the ref calls for the bell and this one is over before it even began!
Orton pins Jericho and then calls for a microphone.
Orton – I’ve been listening to the same old story for too long! I am the youngest champion in WWE history! And it’s time I get some respect! I want some real competition, and I want it right –
“My name is Finlay, and I love to fight!”
Cole – It’s Finlay, and the European Champion looks pretty mad without his belt!
Foley – and wouldn’t you be Cole? He’s worked harder in his career than most men! He earned that title and now it’s just been stripped from him by a guy like Edge, but honestly, I don’t like Randy’s chances against this angry Irishman!
Finlay gets into the ring, and grabs the mic off Orton.
Finlay – Randy, you’ve been out here since day one, running your mouth but never really saying. You hide behind that little group of yours and you avoid dealing with anything by yourself. Now you come out and demand some respect? See, Randy, those are fightin’ words and I love to fight!
Without further ado, Finlay drops Randy with a head cracking shot from the shillelagh! He demands the referee calls for the bell, then mounts Orton on the deck, laying into him with an unending series of right and left hands!
Foley – Jericho is still out of it in the middle of the ring and Finlay is just brutalising the Legend Killer!
Cole – Well turnabout’s fair play and Randy did cheap-shot Jericho then demand some competition!
Foley – Well I guess this is how he exorcises his frustrations about Edge having stolen his belt!
Finlay headlocks Orton on the mat, then forces him to his feet. He sends him off the ropes and cuts him off with a running shoulder block! Orton’s head hits off the mat and he slides right out of the ring and calls for backup. Finlay looks on as ‘The Legend Killers’ make their way down to the ring, when from behind him Estrada cracks him in the back with a steel chair!
Foley – and now Randy Orton and his pack of jackals are taking Finlay apart! This is sick!
Jericho gets slowly back to his feet, and upon seeing Finlay’s plight he joins the fray! The ensuing brawl is cut short with the telltale “H…B…K” and Shawn Michaels runs down to make the save!
Foley – Hey hey Cole, look how fast The Legend Killers clear the ring when Michaels shows up!
Michaels helps Finlay up but as soon as Jericho makes his way over to the two, Michaels levels him with some Sweet Chin Music, then bails out of the ring!
Cole – What? What have we just seen? HBK has left Chris Jericho down and out!
Foley – and I hate to be a buzz kill but we’ve got to go to commercial!

Cole – And we’re back folks and we have two matches left on the card, a huge double main event when –
Foley – Hold on, hold on! We’re getting word from the back…
Cole – No we’re not
Foley – Something’s going down in the boiler room!
Cole – What? Where are you getting your information?
Foley – Guys in the back, can we get a camera back there?
Cole – Mick I don’t know what you’re talking about! I’m not getting any of this on my headset!
Foley – Guys in the back, can we roll camera?
We cut to the back, and the camera focuses on the boiler room door! There is a line of blood leading past the door! The camera man knocks once, but is met with an inhuman scream… He knocks again and hears more of the same! The camera pans around the hall, trying to see anyone to go in. From the corner of the shot we see a man, wearing leopard print boots, looking very much like Cactus Jack…
Cole – Was that? No… it couldn’t be…
Foley – It was! Cactus Jack IS here!
Cole – You’re not serious Mick…
Foley – You saw it with your own eyes!
The camera cuts backstage and we see Raven walking straight into the boiler room, leaving the door ajar! The cameraman follows tentatively. It takes a moment for the camera to adjust to the darkness, but when it does, we are greeted with a rather bizarre sight! Mankind is crouched in the corner of the room, mumbling to himself and Raven is perched atop a pile of boxes, nodding his head.
Raven – Shhh… Can’t you see? Mankind is in pain? Mankind feels the endless suffering we inflict on ourselves. Mankind is the epitome of evil; Mankind is a parasite, sucking the life’s blood out of this earth…
Mankind screams and begins to openly weep…
Raven – Mankind is bound in this endless monotonous lethargy, this putrid, vile, disgusting, rotting life!
Mankind screams again and pulls out some of his hair!
Raven – Do you see what you’ve all done to Mankind?
Mankind – Mankind is so sad, so scared, so alone… torn apart by war… I HATE IT! I HATE IT! You can never understand the pain of Mankind… We have become so selfish. Greed decays the delicate fabric of Mankind. It’s crumbling all around you, it’s not right… It’s just not right, you don’t understand, you’re too close to the problem, you’ll never understand....
Raven – But the time of catharsis has come. You see for too long I have been concerned with a title I will always hold. Regardless of who holds the World Title, I will always be remembered as a world champion! And so, Mankind, I’m going to have to hurt you, you say greed decays… wrong, greed corrupts! But how do you corrupt a man with no morals, from now on I look out for Raven!
Mankind – they call me a mutilator, a sick, deranged, disgusting creature… I used to live in filth… I’ll never go back… never go back to that bingo hall…
Mankind/Raven – Have a nice day…/Quoth the Raven: nevermore…

Cole – That was…
Foley – Can you believe this Cole? Only once in history has Dude Love, Cactus Jack and Mankind been in the same building, but there all here right now!
Cole – Mick… This is impossible, you were –
Foley – Right about Raven being in the building? I know! This is incredible!
‘Here comes the money…” Shane McMahon makes a beeline for the ring; his eyes are locked on Foley. He looks livid and isn’t ‘dancing’ like he usually does. The crowd erupts with a chant of “You Suck” as Shane O’Mac makes his way to the announce table. He gets right in Mick Foley’s face and demands a microphone. He slides into the ring, and then gets in Justin Roberts’ face…
Justin Roberts – Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, the assistant director of the Insiders, the son of the Chairman of the Board: Shane McMahon!
Shane nods and then motions for Roberts to exit the ring.
Shane – You know, I’m sick of hearing all you people booing me and chanting ‘you suck’ but I guess I don’t have a choice. As much as I’d like to I can’t control what our audience thinks. But, that doesn’t change the fact that I am a McMahon, and as a McMahon, I have certain rights here in the WWE. You see the fact of the matter is Ric Flair turned his back on the Insiders and so; I have taken the liberty of removing the William Regal/Paul London from the card. Instead I have chosen to do a favour for a potential future Insider, Paul Burchill, and I have decided to give him a match tonight, against another potential Insider…
“You gotta keep em separated” Raven makes his way down to the ring and gets right in Shane McMahon’s face.
Raven – Let me guess, you wanted to give Chavo Guerrero a match tonight against Paul Burchill? Well, I regret to tell you that… he missed his flight.
Shane – What the hell do you think you’re doing here Raven? Shouldn’t you be in the back with… with…
Shane turns around to Foley.
Shane – YOU! Mick Foley! Effective immediately, you are suspended for one week! Get out of my father’s ring! Security! Get the lunatic out of my ring!
Foley – What is this all about?
Cole – well you can’t put your hands on the bosses son and –
Foley – I didn’t do anything!
Shane O’Mac laughs as security comes and drags Mick away from ringside!
Shane – Oh, and Mick, I don’t want to see you, Dude love or Mankind again tonight, or you will be FIRED! Now on to related business, it comes to my attention that for the rest of the night we’re going to need a stand-in ring announcer! So let me introduce –
He is cut off by the screeching guitars of ‘Paparazzi’ as Melina makes her way down to the ring.
Melina – Shane, I know you’re not happy with this crowd and with Mick Foley but that’s no reason to subject us to the torture of listening to Mike Adamle on commentary!
Shane – Well then Melina, what do you recommend I do?
Melina – Shane, you know my ‘special friend’ Edge would be an excellent asset to the Insiders…
Shane – really?
Melina – and Edge would love it, if you would let me do commentary…
Raven – I’ve heard enough!
Raven drops his microphone and makes as if to leave, but Shane stops him.
Shane – Raven! Don’t you dare leave! You somehow made sure Chavo Guerrero wouldn’t be here tonight, so you will be meeting Paul Burchill tonight! And that match is next! Melina, I’ll make you a deal if you can promise me a meeting with Edge, I’ll let you finish the night for Foley!
Melina jumps up and hugs Shane, telling him it won’t be a problem, before skipping to ringside and taking a seat beside Cole. A video showing Raven vs. Burchill is next airs just before we go to commercial!

‘The Imperial March’ resonates through out the arena as we come back to Smackdown, and ‘The Ripper’ Paul Burchill is nose to nose with Raven in the centre of the ring.
Cole – Welcome back folks, Michael Cole here, with special guest Melina here at ringside!
Melina – Em, get it right Michael, its guest ring announcer.
Cole – of course it is! And we’re gearing up for one hell of a match up next!
Melina – You’re right there Michael!
Cole – So who do you think will come out on top when Raven meets Burchill right here on Smackdown?
Melina – Well, what Raven lacks in any real fashion sense, he makes up for in ability… But seriously, is he wearing a skirt?
Cole – I think it’s a kilt…
Melina – Well whatever it is I don’t see Raven lasting long against a guy who’s a strong and as fast as Paul Burchill. He’s one of the most technically able men in the world today!
Cole – That’s a good point Melina, but I think you’re selling Raven short, and look at that! Raven starts out with a with a jaw cracking right hand!
Raven backs Burchill into the corner with a flurry of rights and lefts, the referee tries to break it up, but thinks better of it when Raven turns to him, raising his fist, as if to hit him! Charles Robinson bails out of the ring and Raven goes for a running clothsline in the corner but Burchill ducks and rolls, leaving Raven to crash chest first into the turnbuckle!
Melina – This is what I was talking about! The speed of Burchill is going to be too much for Raven to handle!
Cole – and look at the full nelson take over from the Ripper!
Burchill has control of Raven on the mat, driving his face into the canvas, locking in the tight full nelson! Raven struggles on the deck to free himself from the hold and reach the bottom rope, but Burchill rolls backwards dragging Raven to the centre of the ring! Raven is quick to use this to mount a counter and twists both bodies over!
Cole – and Raven now has Burchill’s shoulders to the mat!
1..2.. Burchill releases the hold and escapes the pinning attempt. Both men fight their way to their feet and Raven goes for a discus lariat, but Burchill ducks under his arm, and hooks him into a rolling fujiwara armbar! Raven calls out in pain on the mat, but Burchill ignores him and pulls back on the pressure!
Melina – Raven is really struggling to match Burchill on the mat!
Cole – yeah he is, but… is that Cena?
Sure enough John Cena has come running down the ramp, followed slowly by Vince McMahon! Cena hits the ring and Vince gets a microphone!
Vince – I’ve decided this match will be a no disqualification match!
Cena pulls Burchill off Raven and lays into him with a crunching series of right hands, but Burchill takes exception to this and pulls Cena off him! Both men get right in each other’s face and Burchill snaps! He drops Cena with a hard forearm shiver, then kicks him hard in-between his shoulders! Raven gets to his feet and pulls Burchill into a quick schoolboy for the two count! Burchill gets back to his feet and yells at him! Raven answers with “keep your head in the game” then points to the entrance ramp…
Cole – What the hell –
‘Mr. Bang Bang’ blares and Cactus Jack makes his way down the ramp to a riotous round of “ECW ECW ECW!” from the fans at ringside!
Cole – What is this?! We just saw Mick Foley being escorted from the arena!
Melina – Well, as you may know, I’m a close personal friend of both Mick Foley and Cactus Jack, and those two don’t get along, so it makes sense that Jack would come out when Mick is gone!
Cole – what are you talking about – OH! The steel chair to the head of John Cena!
Jack drags Cena to the outside and beings to brawl with him! Cena gets the upper hand and drives Cactus into the ring steps! The hardcore icon however wastes no time in getting back to his feet and going right back after Cena! He backs him to the security barricade and…
Melina – the Cactus Clothsline!
Cole – And that doesn’t tickle!
The two brawl through the crowd, and Raven takes the chance to level the distracted Burchill with the chair Cactus left behind!
Cole – Well Mr. McMahon made this a no-Disqualification match!
Raven grabs the ankle lock on Burchill while he’s down! Paul crawls around the ring trying to get to the ropes, but Raven drags him back to the centre of the ring every time! Burchill twists and tries to roll out of it, but Raven wastes no time in dropping an elbow across his knee and taking the lock again!
Melina – Wow, Raven like pitbull here!
Cole – I don’t know how much more damage Burchill’s leg can take!
Burchill rolls over again and kicks Raven square in the chest, sending him into the corner! He gets tentatively to his feet and when Raven rushes at him, he takes him over with a deep armdrag! Burchill can’t keep his grip on Raven’s arm, who rolls clear out of the ring and staggers to the announce table. Burchill notices Raven is stunned and launches himself over the top rope with a flying crossbody!
Melina screams!
Cole – Can you believe this? We’ve got to get a replay!
Melina – Burchill taking his life in his own hands!
A replay of the suicide dive airs…
Cole – And now Burchill setting up the table!
Melina – he’s set it up on the outside, this can’t end well!
Burchill drags Raven to the apron of the ring and hoists him onto his shoulders before hitting a running fireman’s carry – off the apron - through the table!
Melina screams again and then the lights go out! The gong hits and the Undertaker is standing in the middle of the ring! Both Raven and Burchill are still out of it! Undertaker watches as Burchill slowly gets to his feet, still favouring his right leg, and slides Raven into the ring!
Cole – He hasn’t see the deadman!
Melina – Ohmigod! This isn’t good for anyone!
The Undertaker slowly picks Raven up, but is met with a quick kick to the gut then the Raven-Effect! Burchill gets up to the apron, just in time to see the deadman sit up! Raven looks shocked and bails out of the ring, followed closely by Burchill! Both men escape through the crowd as the Undertaker gets to his feet, and the arena lights turn blue!
Melina – this is crazy!
Cole – And we have to go to commercial!

The horn and bells hit as we come back to Smackdown, and the longhorns signify the entrance of JBL’s limo. It pulls up onto the ramp, and he and Kevin Thorn step out and walk down to the ring.
Cole – Well Melina, this promises to be a brutal match, when JBL meets Big Stevie Cool in a hardcore match!
Melina – Well both men; former hardcore champions and Tag Team champions!
Cole – That right Melina, and with this recent rivalry between the bWo and the Firm!
‘Black and White’ plays and Stevie Richards gets a massive pop from the crowd! He walks confidently down to the ring, and takes the microphone off Justin Roberts.
Stevie – Hey, JBL, I guess you think you’re a big guy? Well I’m Big Stevie Cool! And I’m taking –
JBL – Hey, little Stevie, before you say anything, I think you should know, I’ve make some arrangements…
Kevin Thorn starts tossing weapons into the ring from the outside…
JBL – I’ve cleared it with management…
A steel cage begins lowering, and Stevie looks around nervously.
JBL – This is going to Steel Cage Hardcore Match!
By this time, Thorn has thrown in steel chairs, kendo sticks, two tables, a trash can, a stop sign, a golf club and a baseball bat! The cage lowers completely and JBL decks Stevie with the microphone and then drops it! He takes one of the Singapore canes and blasts Stevie in the back with it! Stevie rolls around in pain on the mat as JBL stalks him… he raises the cane to strike again, but Stevie low blows him with the golf club!
Melina – That’s got to hurt! Tell me what that would feel like Michael?
Cole – How would I know?
Melina – Well… you’re repulsive, women must hit you in the groin all the time!
Cole - …
Melina cackles as his face turns bright red! Back to the action in the ring, Stevie has discarded the golf club and instead has taken up a steel chair! JBL is distracted by the pain in his groin and Stevie rattles his brain with a huge chair shot! JBL goes down hard and Stevie begins climbing the cage! He gets about halfway up, before Kevin Torn nails the side of the cage with a steel chair shot, rattling the cage and sending Stevie crashing back to the mat!
Cole – How is this fair? Thorn just stopped Stevie from escaping!
Melina – That’s an excellent strategy! JBL’s nearly as smart as Edge!
JBL is the first one back to his feet, followed closely by Stevie. Layfield levels Stevie with a huge right hand, Stevie gets up and eats another! He crawls exhausted to the corner and JBL follows him, charging with a huge shoulderblock! Stevie leaps out of the way, and Bradshaw crashes head first into the steel cage! He grabs a kendo stick and blasts JBL across the back several times, forcing him to the floor! He drags JBL to the centre of the ring and makes the cover, 1..2 and a kickout!
Melina – Wow Richards really thriving in this hardcore match!
Cole – No question, Richards is not a stranger to hardcore!
Richards takes this chance to set up a table in the corner. He goes to whip JBL through it but is overpowered! JBL pulls him in and tosses him overhead, through the table, with a massive ‘Last Call’ fallaway-slam!
Melina – This is over!
JBL cover Big Stevie Cool, 1..2..
Cole – Stevie kicked out! What resilience! What heart being show by the ECW original!
JBL picks Stevie up of the canvas and attempts to take him up into a powerbomb! Stevie counters with a massive right hand to the temple and a second! JBL crumbles and Richards follows up with a shot from the trashcan! He ascends the turnbuckle and comes flying off with a moonsault, crushing the can into JBL sternum!
Cole – What a move! Can you believe it?!
Melina – What an idiot! Why risk your body?
JBL writhes in pain on the mat, holding his ribs, and Stevie sets up the second table! He attempts to pick up JBL, but his strength fails him! The Funak comes running down to ringside and tries to open the cage door, but is scared off by Kevin Thorn! He backs off and Richards is distracted, yelling at Layfield’s bodyguard!
Cole – JBL back to his feet, but Stevie doesn’t see it!
JBL bounces off the ropes, and as Stevie turns around, he gets his head taken off by a neck breaking clothsline from hell! JBL collapses on the mat beside Richards and trys to catch his breath. Funaki wastes no time in climbing the cage! As JBL staggers to his feet Funaki flies off the top of the cage, taking Bradshaw down with a huge crossbody! He follows up by slamming the stop sign onto his face and rolls Stevie over him for the cover!
Cole – I don’t believe it! 1..2..3!
Melina – this is robbery!
As the cage raises, Kevin Thorn slides under the ropes and assaults Funaki! He powerslams him across Richards’ prone form! Funaki is down and out and JBL gets back to his feet, he screams at Thorn to destroy ‘the Funak’ while he dumps Stevie over the top rope!
Cole – And Thorn’s got Funaki up in the Crucifix position!
Melina – He just slammed him through the table!
Thorn remains on one knee glaring at Funaki’s broken form amongst the broken table!
We cut to a recap of Smackdown while the ring is cleared!
