WRESTLEMANIA
28
A long promo begins, showcasing clips from the Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels I&II and the undertaker vs. Triple H I&II. All the while, technicians are securing the smaller cell walls to the large canopy structure and the floor of the ring. As the promo comes to an end, the cell ceiling lowers.
J.R: And it is go-time, folks! Mick Foley has been fuming ever since Triple H attacked him on RAW two weeks ago, and its under question whether he’ll call it right down the middle in the case of the Game.
Lawler: Right you are, J.R. But, I gotta wonder if he’ll call it down the middle in ANYONE’S case?
Mick Foley rolls into the ring, wearing a referee shirt that some will remember being just like the one he had worn years ago in the Attitude era.
J.R: Wait just a minute……
Lawler: Undertaker said he wanted the old Triple H, J.R! I think the Undertaker had better bring his A-game tonight, ‘cause it looks like the Cerebral Assassin brought his!
J.R: But what about Michaels? One has to wonder, after more than two years of ring rust building…..
Triple H makes his way to the ring after the typical HHH entrance, only this time, fireworks shoot out of the top of the enormous WM stage into the sky. He is sure to stay at ringside, and he and Mick stare each other down.
J.R: HBK, the living legend, arguably one of the greatest talents the I have ever seen and worked with. But can he come out on top, after not being in the ring for two years?
Lawler: We’ll see. I’m having my doubt about any of them- three titans clashing in the most demonic structure known to man. I don’t think anyone’s coming out unchanged- even these hardened veterans.
HBK does his pose on the ramp, and fireworks are spit from the stage, more than usual. The light from these are almost blinding and you can only barely see Shawn through the glare. He jumps up, and makes his way into the ring, keeping an eye on Triple H.
J.R: This is the Undertaker. One of the most intimidating, dominant man in the business. No stranger to this structure, he performed in the first three, I believe.
Lawler: Yea, yea he did. Shortened Shawn Michaels and Mick Foley’s careers too. But especially Foley’s- making me wonder if Mick is going to call this down the middle like he says he is.
Undertaker makes his goose bumps-inducing entrance down the ramp, and fire shoots out of the stage, setting an eerie glow against the blue lights. He removes his robe, and slams the door behind him. An almost audible hush comes over the crowd.
J.R: Now, there’s no way in, no way out. Has the Apocalypse begun?
Lawler: Indeed it has, J.R. But for who?
J.R: Too many questions, King.
Lawler: How can you NOT have any in this situation?
J.R: (pause) I do.
Now the three men are in the ring. Mick looks at them all, and then signals for the bell.
DINGDING!
The three behemoths of the business continue to stare at each other. No one is making a move- the crowd is in hushed anticipation, just waiting. The excitement is building to a breaking point…..
The Undertaker begins punching every man with the names of Shawn and Hunter in sight. The anticipation breaks in loud cheers and shouts.
J.R: Here we go! Hide your children, parents, this isn’t just gonna be a slobber knocker, its gonna be a violent, bloody match up!
Lawler: The Undertaker looks to be taking a firm control on this match as soon as he can…..
The Phenom knocks Shawn down with a clothesline, and begins to focus on Triple H, with left and rights in every place he can reach. The Game is trying to protect himself from the barrage of powerful shots, but to no avail. The Undertaker steps back, and then hits the Game with a huge boot to the skull!
J.R: Good gawd, he just took Triple H’s head off!
Lawler: The odds look to be in the Deadman’s favor as of right now.
The Undertaker takes this short window of time to take a breath, as Mick Foley check on Shawn, who is holding his head and in apparent pain. Mick is completely ignoring Triple H. But Michaels seems to be OK, as he stands up. The Undertaker runs after him, but Shawn hits the Undertaker with his own clothesline.
J.R: And what goes around, comes back around, as Shawn hits ‘Taker with a huge clothesline!
The Showstopper then begins wailing on the game, who was just standing up.
Lawler: I don’t think I’ve seen Shawn so aggressive!
J.R: And I hope I don’t again.
The Game is sent reeling from a huge right, and Shawn backs up slightly, then hit’s a HUGE super kick!
J.R: Gawd almighty, I swear I just saw Triple H’s head fly in the air and the Cell ceiling!
Lawler: This one could be over, Ross! Is it possible?

KICKOUT!
Shawn looks at Mick, shocked. But then his face contorts in pain and he is lifted up by his hair by the Undertaker, who puts him down with a choke slam.
J.R: And a huge slam to the mat by the Undertaker, and I don’t think Shawn’s back was prepared for that type of action!
Lawler: Undertaker could have just re-injured it!
The Phenom goes for a pin.

Triple H pulls Undertaker off just in the nick of time. The Undertaker gets up, but is met with punches by Triple H.
J.R: Once more, what goes around come back around for the Phenom once again!
Lawler: I take back what I said about him being in control.
Shawn has rolled out to the outside, his face contorted in pain as he tries to stand, and almost succeeds, albeit with a slightly bent posture. But he ends up having to fall back down. Back in the ring, Triple h is hitting the Undertaker hard with kicks to the abdomen.
J.R: The streak is in more danger than its ever been in, but it looks like Shawn may be out for this.
Lawler: Oh man, oh man, this is not good if Shawn is injured, it could be even worse than his last one.
Mick pulls away Triple H from the Undertaker. They begin yelling inaudible words at each other. Then, Triple H kicks the Hardcore Legend in the stomach, and hits him with the Pedigree. Mick rolls out of the ring, falling to the ground.
J.R: Come on, that was unnecessary! Mick was just doing his job!
Triple H is the only one left standing, and realizing this, he begins chuckling. He picks up the Undertaker, and irish whips the Undertaker to the ropes. As The Undertaker bounces back, Triple H his the Undertaker with a huge knee.
J.R: And the Undertaker goes down! Good god, is this the end of the Streak?
Triple H waits for the Undertaker to get up. As soon as the Deadman stands, he gets hit with the Pedigree. Triple H goes for a pin, but realizes Mick is out. He stands up, and looks outside. He realizes Mick isn’t there anymore….
J.R: Triple H, behind you!
Triple H realizes someone in behind him. He turns around and Mick hits him with Socko.
Lawler: Oh, that smelly, sweaty stinking sock!
Soon, judging by Triple H’s reaction, people begin to realize something horrible, almost terrifying.
J.R: Good god, King! Socko is wrapped in barbed wire! Socko is wrapped in barbed wire!
Triple H is taken down, and Foley pulls Socko off of his hand. Triple H is writhing on the mat, blood leaking from his mouth. Shawn, apparently, is able to stand, as he slides into the ring. The Undertaker stands up, and dodges the Superkick. He kicks Shawn in the stomach, and lifts him up. He hit’s the Last Ride- and Shawn breaks through the Ring! The crowd audibly gasps.
J.R: Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my god! Shawn Michaels just went straight through the ring! Though the ring!
Lawler: My god! Shawn’s back, his spine, think of it!
The Undertaker then punches Triple H, who had a sledgehammer, and lifts him up. The Undertaker drops the Game on his head in the tombstone piledriver.

DINGDING!
J.R: The Undertaker has done it! The Streak lives on, the Streak lives on!
Lawler: The Undertaker has encountered the greatest challenge in his life, and won! But the ring… we still have Rock v. Cena!
The Undertaker raises his arms in his signature cross pose. The lights turn off, and when they are back on, he is gone. Staff run down, and pull Shawn out of the gaping hole in the ring. Shawn is checked by paramedics, as people work on the ring to try and fix it.
THE STREAK LIVES ON
