I hope its a littler better than the last, which after ICW's reply, I did notice was a bit repetitive. Episode #22 is where its at, because upon completion and re-reading it, I believe its my best show I've ever wrote in the last 3 years of booking.

The Rock says that Randy Orton is all talk and he is just trying to get inside The Rock's head. He says that Ricky Steamboat can take care of himself and if Orton pulls a stunt, The Rock WILL face him and The Rock WILL slap the lips off Orton's over-oiled, ugly baby face! The Rock then says that he thinks he has seen Shane Helms somewhere, but can't recall where. Helms says he was front row when Hurricane beat The Rock on WWE Raw. The Rock looks at him oddly before walking off.

Randy Orton, Johnny Nitro and Kane vs. Chris Jericho, The Rock and Shawn Michaels
Nice match here with alot of building and superstar power. The fans go absolutely nuts for anything and everything that happens. Nitro starts it out with Shawn Michaels and they lock up, with Michaels taking down Nitro with an armdrag. Nitro, annoyed, locks up with him again to the same result. Now royally pissed off, he tags in Kane who goes after Michaels, throwing him into the corner and beating on him. Michaels escapes and fights back with right hands of his own, but Kane throws him to the ground and goes for a legdrop. Michaels evades it and tags in The Rock, who comes in strong, knocking Kane backwards with right hands before clotheslining him over the top rope. The fans go nuts as The Rock does the people's elbow towards Orton and the just bring it sign. Orton looks furious as he tags Kane to get in the ring. He steps into the ring but quickly tags Johnny Nitro, who jumps in as Rock laughs.
Nitro runs at Rock, but is spinebustered. Rock takes his elbow pad off, hypes up the crowd and sticks his finger up at Orton before running for the people's elbow. When he runs into the ropes, Kane pulls him over them to the floor and throws him into the steel post before beating on him. The referee pulls them apart as The Rock rolls into the ring. Nitro beats on him with kicks before tagging in Orton, who stalks Rock, looking for the RKO. He goes for it, but Rock pushes him into the ropes and manages to hit the Rock Bottom on him before tagging in Chris Jericho, who clears house. He hits Orton with the Lionsault for a two-count. Nitro interferes and attacks Jericho, who tags Michaels before brawling up the ramp with Nitro to the back. Orton brawls with Michaels, trying for the RKO. Michaels pushes him away and hits the Sweet Chin Music. He tries for the pin, but Kane breaks it up. The Rock enters the ring and brawls with Kane, knocking him out of the ring, leaving the two legal men. Michaels climbs to the top rope and nails a huge flying elbow drop for the win.
