Gene: Hulk Hogan, last week you competed in the Six Pack Challenge to determine who would challenge Kurt Angle for the World Championship at WrestleMania. During that encounter and for the past several weeks it seems you have had a few run-ins with Goldberg. What are your thoughts?

Hogan: Well you know something Mean Gene. Hulk Hogan is all about getting back to the top and headlining WrestleMania would have been the dream brother. I know Goldberg would like nothing better than to have that opportunity as well. The problem is, it seems that these run-ins are getting too be a little too coincidental for my taste. I don’t have any ill will towards Goldberg, but if he has a problem with me then he should just come right out and say so.

J.R.: Delaney wins! Delaney wins! Delaney wins! Do you believe in miracles? Colin Delaney gets his very first victory here in the WWE!

King: You have to give a big assist to Rey Mysterio who really stuck it to Booker T. here.

J.R.: Booker T. should have taken the victory when he had the chance and no he’s paying for it. As Booker T. comes to grips with what just happened, let’s send you over to Mean Gene Okerlund.

Gene: Please welcome my guest at this time, the Miz. Miz, tonight you go one-on-one with John Cena with the winner advancing to the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania. This has to be a big night for you.

Miz: Gene, everyone here in the WWE and everyone watching has to realize by now that I’m the real deal. I’ve only just begun my career and I already nearly won the Royal Rumble on my first outing. I already hold a victory over the almighty Goldberg. I’ve already competed in a six pack challenge for a main event spot at WrestleMania. I may not have won that opportunity, but with only weeks under my belt I know that my destiny is to compete at Madison Square Garden on the grandest stage of them all. So tonight I am going to beat John Cena. Then I will take my rightful place at WrestleMania and I will climb that ladder, grab the contract and you are looking at a soon-to-be WWE Champion! You know why that is Mean Gene?

Gene: Why?

Miz: Because I’m the Miz… and I’m… Awesome!!!

You blame me for losing your shot at the World Title. Chris it’s time to look in the mirror and stop making excuses. Chris you are a tremendous competitor. I do believe that you are capable of being a World Champion. Because Chris when you walk that aisle you have to have something in you that is pushing you to that ring to compete and be the best in the world.

J.R.: Mr. Kennedy steps up to the plate at WrestleMania when he faces Stone Cold Steve Austin. Will Kennedy secure his place in history or will Austin open a can of whoop-ass on the Green Bay native.

King: From Smackdown the Intercontinental Title will be on the line as Christian faces Matt Hardy and MVP in a triple threat match. The odds are in favor of a new Champion being crowned unless Captain Charisma has his way.

J.R.: The Big Red Machine Kane will face Muhammad Hassan. Hassan took the mask from Kane back at Summer Slam and actually put Kane on the shelf for a number of months. Now Kane has his opportunity to extract some revenge.

King: The ECW Championship will also be decided at WrestleMania. Currently the two contenders are being determined over on ECW and those two men will face off to determine who will be crowned ECW Champion on the grandest stage of them all.

J.R.: The WWE Championship will be on the line when Bret “Hit Man” Hart defends against fellow Canadian the Rated R Superstar Edge. Edge won the Royal Rumble for the right to main event WrestleMania. Will Edge become a two time WWE Champion or will the Hit Man excellently execute the competition?

King: Plus the World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line as Kurt Angle faces off against Ken Shamrock. Shamrock shocked the world by returning to the WWE and earning his spot by winning the six pack challenge and now Shamrock vows to become champion by making the Olympic gold medalist tap out at WrestleMania.

J.R.: What a night it is going to be on Sunday March 14 from Madison Square Garden in New York. It’s WrestleMania. It only happens once a year. The question now remains will Kurt Angle still be World Champion going into WrestleMania? He puts his title on the line against Hulk Hogan in our main event next!-
