First of all I apologize for the space between ep.1 and now. I had ep.2 mostly ready to go about a week after ep.1 was posted. But my kid erased many files. That one included. I had to re-write it from a combination of notebook segments,memory and a couple new ideas. Ep.3 is half written ,so maybe I will have it up next week. Without further ado here is Episode 2!
Flashback opening features highlights of last weeks main event with Kane battling Big Show. Including the unseen ending of Show being pushed off the side of the ramp by Kane just in front of the pyro.
(All Together Now plays,pyro goes off and we cut to JR and Joey Styles)
JIM ROSS:Welcome everyone to the most exciting weekly pro-wrestling show around. Mattels WWF RAW!Hello everyone,Jim Ross and Joey Styles here at ringside with lots to talk about!
JOEY STYLES:That's right Jim,what will come of the fallout from last weeks main event? And what about the Mattel World Wrestling Foundation Championship? We expect an announcement on that tonight. And of course,who else is on our roster? We all hope to find out answers as the night progresses.
JR:But first let's get to the Fink for our opening match!
Howard Finkel:Our first match is scheduled for 1 fall. Introducing first- (Aint no make believe hits) John Morrison! (Morrison makes his way down the ramp following a slo-mo pause)
Finkel:and his opponent....(The opening chords of I Walk Alone blast through the speakers,crowd goes nuts)......Batista!
JR:My God Joey! This is news to us!
JS:What a shock JR. And Morrison looks very upset by this. I guess he didn't know either!
The Match: Morrison is very apprehensive and almost refuses to lock up with Batista. He then leaves the ring threatening to walk out. As Morrison makes it up the ramp( without even touching Batista)big Dave exits the ring and brings Morrison back himself. After tossing him into the ring,Batista connects with a shoulder tackle sending John down. After another of these tackles,Morrison opts to attempt a tackle of his own. Only to have Batista nearly decapitate him instead with a massive clothesline. Again Morrison exits the ring and clutches his jaw. Batista follows again , but is met with a verbal barrage from the Miz who walks down to ringside. This distraction is enough for Morrison to attack Batista with a high running knee lift to the back. Morrison then plunges the stunned Batista into the ringpost shoulder first. Miz looks on with a smile on his face as John places Batista back in the ring and continues to assault his shoulder. After several minutes of working Batistas shoulder from an armbar to a single arm stretch,Morrison drops a hesitation elbow from the middle rope to the injured shoulder. Morrison attempts a pinfall:1-2-kickout at 2!
Batista is able to kickout but is still one armed. As Morrison bounds from the ropes for an offensive attempt,Batista is able to backflip John onto the mat and buy himself some time. Batista takes to the offense using his good arm to lay in punches and forearms. Batista surprises Morrison with a high well placed boot to Morrisons earlier bruised jaw. As the ref checks on John,The Miz sneaks in a cheap shot on Batistas bad arm causing him to crumble once more. Morrison takes control again and sets Batista up for the "Moonlight Drive". Morrison connects driving Batistas bad shoulder,neck,and face to the mat. He goes for the cover:1-2-thre-shoulder up at 2 and three quarters! Morrison is livid and sets Batista up for a second "Moonlight Drive". This time however,the animal reverses it and throws Morrison across the ring to the mat but hurts his shoulder again in the process. Both men are down and the referee starts a 10 count. Both are up at 7 ,and Morrison attempts a spinning savat kick,but Batista catches him and gives him a one armed spine buster! Batista for the cover:1-2-thr Morrison kicks out! The Miz gets on the apron and unloads another verbal assault on Batista. Dave gets up and grabs Miz by the throat then flips him into the ring. As he holds Miz in position for a punch,Morrison sneaks up and clips Batistas knee. With Batista down,Morrison goes to the top rope signaling for "Starship Pain". Morrison flips off the top rope but Batista moves! John hits nothing but canvas and the Miz tries to buy him some time ,but this time Batista lands the punch he wanted earlier knocking Miz out of the ring. Big Dave crouches in position and waits for the dazed Morrison to get to his feet...kick to the stomach into the "Batista Bomb"! Dave clutches his bad shoulder then collapses onto Morrison for the pin:1-2-3!
Finkel:Ladies and gentlemen,your winner Dave Batista!!!
JR:Wow what a match!
JS:Batista is here ,and what a resounding victory to show it!
JR:That's for sure. And now ladies and gentlemen let's head backstage to Lillian Garcia who's standing by with a guest. Lillian?
Lillian:Thanks Jr,I'm standing here with the man who won the first ever mWWF match here on RAW last week....Edge! (Crowd boos)
EDGE:That's right Garcia,I have already made history here. The first ever winner of the first ever match of the first ever mWWF RAW! Sounds great doesn't it? But its meaningless compared to the ONLY first that matters....first ever Mattel World Wrestling Foundation Champion. And if anyone would have let me talk last week ,you would know that I already have the inside track about that title. See I can find out anything by simply knowing the right people. And I already know how it goes down,and its right up "the Ultimate Oppurtunists" alley!
GARCIA: You already know? Care to enlighten us?
EDGE:No...not at all. I mean why spoil the suprise? Besides we're all gonna hear later anyway,why get myself in trouble with management already? There's plenty of time for that later. Heheheh.
GARCIA:Anything else you would like to say?
EDGE:Yeah,sure......HHH,your nose looks even bigger without a McMahon to hide behind!Now leave me be.....I have to measure my waist so I can put an order in for a strap that fits when I win the mWWF Championship.
(Cut to a scene with Mr Kent walking down a hallway in the back with the Mattel World Wrestling Foundation Championship belt over his shoulder).

JR:Interesting comments from Edge before the break Joey.
JS:Certainly makes you wonder if he is blowing smoke or really has a connection on the inside.
JR:Well he certainly doesn't seem to want to make friends with HHH does he?
JS:hehe it would seem not Jim.
JR:Back to the Fink for the next bout!
Finkel:Introducing first -(I can slam a tornado) Matt Hardy! (Crowd cheers)
JR:Matt looks in great shape these days,and he definately wants to make an impact here in the mWWF
JS:He certainly could do it.
Finkel:and his opponent -(ominous music plays) William Regal!
JR:Here's another of our suprise superstars Joey!
JS:And what a talent. Regal is one of the best tacticians you'll ever see in a wrestling ring.
The Match: Slow start as both men tie up and go through a feeling out process. Regal goes for early moves such as a wristlock into a hammerlock. Hardy tries to twist out of it,but Regal keeps the hold on tight. Hardy starts to run Regal in circles,while Regal continues the hammerlock. A very dizzy Regal relinquishes the hold and Hardy simply slaps Regal in the face to rile him up. Regal goes for the collar and elbow tie up ,but Hardy executes a deep hiptoss. A frustrated Regal gets up and rushes Hardy only to be met by another hiptoss. Regal slides out of the ring in an attempt to slow Hardys pace. Regal returns to the ring at the 6 count and locks up with Hardy driving him into the corner. The ref calls for a break on 4,which Regal abides,but immediately follows up with a forearm smash to the abdomen. Regal works on the prone Hardy with a devastating elbow to the back of the neck then drives him into the mat with a side headlock. Regal grinds the headlock for several minutes. Hardy rolls Regal on his back for a pin attempt:1- Regal rolls back at 1 and keeps the headlock on. Hardy manages to get his foot on the rope to break the hold. Regal holds until 5 then breaks. Regal dives back to apply it again but Hardy moves. Regal plants a kick to the mid section of Hardy then forces him back into the corner. Regal lands 2 chops,but Hardy fights back staggering Regal with chops of his own. Hardy gets Regal on the defensive and rocks him with fast paced forearms and punches. Hardy throws Regal into the ropes and catches him with a well placed kick to the gut. Hardy hits a "Twist of Fate" and Regal lays prone. Hardy goes for the pin:1-2-Hardy gets up!? Matt shakes his finger and says "not yet". The crowd is calling for Hardy to hit his patented top rope leg drop! After a moment of playing up to the crowd,Hardy ascends to the top rope and dives with his leg drop in full free fall...and Regal moves. As Hardy hits the mat with full on impact ,Regal gets to his feet and lunges at a shocked Hardy with a running knee to the face. Regal with the pin:1-2-3.
Finkel:Your winner ,William Regal!
JR:Hardy put up a great fight Joey ,but you just can't waste time when facing a man like Regal.
JS: Exactly Jim,there are no room for mistakes with a vicious ring general the style of Regal. Valiant effort on Hardys part however.
JR:Well the wait is almost over. Mr Kent will be here to address the world championship situation after the break!
JS: I can't wait to hear what he has to say!
(Cut to the back very quickly to see a glimpse of Randy Orton arriving to the arena)
JS:Was that who I think it is Jim?!
JR: Oh wow! What else can happen tonight?
Go to commercial. End segment
(We come back to Howard Finkel standing in the ring)
FINKEL: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the Mattel Championship Committee liaison to the mWWF....Mr. Kent!
(Mr Kent walks down the ramp carrying the mWWF Championship belt)
Mr KENT: Thank you everyone for tuning in last week and being patient with the forthcoming announcement concerning the mattel World Wrestling Foundation Championship. I appreciate the interest in our product. So without further ado,here it is. This beautiful belt will be presented to the winner of a 16 man Royal Rumble/Gauntlet match! After all 16 men have entered and it comes down to 2 Superstars,then traditional 1 on 1 rules apply. However,in order to be in this match at all you MUST qualify! We're not just going to let anyone have it. You have to prove you want it. And I am pleased to say ,everyone who has sucessfully competed in singles bouts last week and this week have qualified! We will continue this process over the next 2 weeks until 16 superstars are in. We have 2 more qualifying matches tonight when Chris Jericho will face The American Dream Dusty Rhodes! And HHH will see action against Dolph Ziggler! That's our main event of the evening. Now I have to address another situation ,from last week. There is a time and place for action to get a little out of hand and violent. We expect that from a pro-wrestling venture. However the antics of Kane and the Big Show last week were uncalled for. It was a debut show,no need for antics involving fire and attempted maiming. The mWWF is about wrestling. Its about the prestige of a championship earned in competition. I expect things to be heated and ,at times,over the top. Last week,however,was not that time. Therefore,it is my decision that both Kane and Big Show be prohibited from the Championship proceedings and will not compete for that title at this time. Thank you.
JR:Wow that's a strong stance taken there by the Mattel side of things.
(Slow Chemical plays,out comes Kane)
JS:Uh oh. This is not good. Get out of there Mr Kent!
(Kane enters the ring)
KANE:Where do you think you're going. We're gonna have a little talk.
KENT:I believe I have said all I need to. Thank you.
KANE:No...no you'll have more to say in a minute. For right now though,you're gonna listen. You see you are blaming me for an incident last week that has been misinterpreted.I did not cause that fire wall incident on the ramp last week. That was simply a pyro disaster,a fluke. Certainly nothing of my doing. I'm just a man...I have no ,hahaha,"powers". Let's stay in reality Mr Kent. And I did not attempt to throw Big Show into said fire. If anything you have misconstrued my heroism for villainy.
KENT:What!? You threw the man off the ramp!How is that heroic?
KANE: On the contrary Kent,I "threw" no one! I simply shoved Show out of the way of YOUR companys pyro glitch. I saved the mans life! If you wanna talk about malice and evil intentions ,you talk about the Big Show. Earlier in that match he grabbed me by the throat and chokeslammed me thru a table! Now THAT was on purpose! THAT was unsportsman like! I was the bigger man that night,therefore I should not be punished....Show yes...me no!
KENT:No way,I'm not hearing anymore of this farce. Thank you I'll be leaving now.
KANE:I don't think you will....
(The lights drop and the ominous gong from last week tolls once. Then the lights come back up)
KANE:What's the matter .....were you people expecting someone else? Hahahaha! Well you're not getting him. You know who's fault that is? HIS!(Points at Mr Kent). He couldn't get the job done. There is no Undertaker in the mWWF. But there could be.
KENT: What do you mean? I tried for months before this organization
was launched to get him on board with mWWF! He was one of THE premier athletes we wanted to be a part of this,but he never responded. We tried .I tried. Unfortunately I failed.
KANE:Yes you did. But as you can tell by the bell Kent,he's out there. Somewhere. And only I can find him. Only I can bring him to the mWWF. Only I have that kind of connection. I can rectify your one big failure. I can bring the Undertaker to the Mattel World Wrestling Foundation! But ONLY if you rescind the ban on me competing in the Rumble for the world title.
KENT: But the board has made its decision.
KANE: I give you 1 week to convince them otherwise. If you can't,you fail again. This time,failure could be fatal Kent,welcome to pro wrestling hahahaha! (Kane lowers his hands and the pyro explodes from the ringposts as a nervous Mr Kent looks on.)
JR: Well that was intense. Kane could deliver the Undertaker?! The Championship decided in a gauntlet?!
JS:Certainly a newsworthy segment huh Jim. Wow....
Go to commercial. End segment
JR:Welcome back fans! What a first hour of action and revelations. We now know our main event will be a qualifying match for mWWF Championship gauntlet Rumble!
JS:And that will feature HHH vs Dolph Ziggler. Another qualifying match is up next as Chris Jericho will compete against Dusty Rhodes!
Howard Finkel:The next Rumble qualifying match is set for 1 fall..
("Break the Walls Dowwn!") Introducing first...Chris Jericho!
(Jericho walks to the ring and gazes upon the audience with disdain)
FINK:And his opponent....("Amerricaaan Dreeam!") The American Dream...Dusty Rhodes!
(Dusty dances his way to the ring to a tremendous ovation)
JR:Big Dust has a chance to relive his dream starting tonight. Can he do it? Can the Dream take this all the way to the top?
The Match: Dusty and Jericho lock up with a collar and elbow tie up. Jericho jockeys for position but Rhodes gets the strength advantage and forces Jericho to the ground. Jericho looks around in embarrassment as the audience taunts him. Jericho locks back up,only for Dusty to throw him back to the ground. This time Dusty struts to the cheering crowd as Jericho becomes more irate. Losing his temper,Chris rushes at Rhodes only to get tapered with 3 fists to the head and an elbow from The Dream. Jericho rolls out to the floor to break Dustys momentum. Dusty follows ,while Jerichos back is turned,Rhodes pushes him head first into the turnbuckle post! Jericho is down and Rhodes re-enters the ring as the referee begins his 10 count. Jericho makes it up and in the ring at 8. Rhodes approaches Jericho for another tie up,but is met with a finger to the eye. Jericho takes his opening and begins to work on Rhodes lower back. After several stomps and kicks to Dustys prone back,Chris lands a runing elbow drop on Rhodes injuries. He then taunts the crowd and lunges off the ropes into a lionsault. He hits right on Rhodes back. Dusty screams in pain and tries to get himself back in the game,but Jericho remains in control. Jericho dominates for about 4 more minutes with slow,methodic blows to the lower back. Finally he sets Dusty up for the Walls of Jericho. He pulls Rhodes to center ring and applies his submission. Rhodes writhes in pain,but cannot reach the ropes for a break. Jericho cranks up the Walls but Dusty refuses to tap out. As the crowd wills Dusty back into it,he musters the strength to power out with his legs! Jericho is in shock. He immediately goes back to Dusty in an attempt to re-apply the Walls submission. However Dusty counters him immediately with an inside cradle roll up....1,2, kickout at 2! Jericho and Rhodes back up simultaneously,Jericho charges,Dusty ducks,spins around and BAM! Bionic elbow! Jericho collapses into the corner. Rhodes drags him out to center ring. Goes for the cover and the pin......1,2,3! The referee hit the 3 count as Jericho put his right foot,more like his toes ,on the bottom rope. As Dusty celebrates,the referee is trying to explain the situation. The crowd is going crazy with Rhodes,but Jericho is back on his feet behind him. The ref finally gets Rhodes to understand the match must continue.Dusty turns around right into a Codebreaker! Jericho goes for the pin:1,2,3! Jericho wins.
FINKEL: Ladies and Gentlemen ,your winner Chris Jericho!
JR:Wow,fans Dusty Rhodes has nothing to be ashamed of. What a valiant effort in his return.
JS:If Rhodes had just grapevined Jerichos leg,we would have a different outcome there Jim.
JR:Take nothing away from Jericho though. He just proved why he deserves to be here.
JS: He is an incredible talent for sure.
("Voices" hits the PA...out comes Randy Orton!)
JR: We saw his arrival earlier and he's in the ring now.
JS: This should be interesting Jim.
ORTON:Let me make this short,sweet,and simple. John Cena ,I know you signed with mWWF on the same day I did. So instead of playing the waiting game and wondering when we will inevitably face off........let's just get it out of the way right off the bat. You're debut is scheduled for next week. Now you got something to talk about. When you show up to address the "Cenation" ,I will show up to address you. I've got an offer you're gonna jump at. To hell with what management wants,I'm gonna jump right to the front of the line and claim what should be mine.....the Mattel World Wrestling Foundation Championship!
(Voices plays and Orton stands on the top rope in his classic arms open pose)
JR: So we know John Cena is going to be here next week! And that man,Randy Orton,will confront him live on that broadcast.
JS: What's his offer to Cena going to be? And why would Orton want to agitate management? I guess we will find out next week.
JR: We seem to be left with more questions than answers again this week folks. But hang on,as we have another Rumble/Gauntlet qualifier to finish the show tonight. HHH vs Dolph Ziggler is next! Stay tuned
(Commercial break-end segment)
(We return to a tight shot of a pair of gold necklaces that say "305" and "MVP")
Porter:Yeah,next week the mWWF will debut its greatest investment since the purchase of a wrestling ring. The in ring debut of "Mr 305",the "MVP of physicality",Montel.....Vontavious....Porter.
JR: Another new face Joey
JS:Indeed Jim. Everyone wants to be a part of this. And we're about to see 2 Superstars who will exemplify what mWWF action is all about.
JR:Absolutely, HHH vs Dolph Ziggler is gonna happen right now!
FINKEL: The next bout is a Rumble Gauntlet Qualifying Match! (I Am Perfection ) introducing first ...Dolph Ziggler! (Ziggler strolls confidently to the ring)
FINKEL: ...and his opponent(Time To Play The Game...) Trrriple H!
(HHH douses himself with water then sprays upward )
JR:HHH looks to be in tremendous shape!
JS:As does Ziggler. This should be great!
The Match:Hunter ties up with Dolph and Ziggler is able to surprise him with a snap armdrag. Ziggler poses and taunts Hunter. They lockup again and Ziggler answers with another snap armdrag. Again Ziggler poses and gestures to the crowd. HHH gets to his feet and wants another lockup. This time Helmsley hip tosses Ziggler over the top rope! Now HHH poses and rallys the crowd behind him. Ziggler protests outside the ring,but Hunter goes out and drags him back in. The 2 seperate and go for another lockup. Hunter shifts position and hiptosses Ziggler over the top rope on the other side of the ring! Ziggler throws a fit and asks HHH to come outside the ring. Hunter agrees and out he comes. The 2 exchange blows on the outside with Hunter winning the exchange due to slamming Dolphs head into the stairs. HHH gets back in the ring. The ref starts his count but Ziggler makes it in at 6. Ziggler catches HHH in the eye with a finger poke, then unloads a barrage of uppercuts and forearms. He whips HHH into the corner turnbuckle then follows with a devastating standing dropkick to Helmsleys face while he's in the corner!Hunter collapses onto the mat and Dolph goes for a quick pin:1...2...shoulder up at 2. Ziggler stays on the offense. He grinds Hunter with a rear face lock trying to soften him up for the sleeper. He works the facelock for a couple minutes while HHH starts getting the crowd behind him. Finally Hunter starts willing himself up with the crowd support. He gets to his feet and lands 2 elbows to Zigglers midsection ,breaking the hold. Looking for momentum ,Hunter bounds off the ropes for a clothesline. Ziggler ducks and catches Hunter on the pass with the sleeper! He's got it cinched in center ring! He drops HHH to his knees. Hunter starts to fade and the referee goes in to check. He grabs HHHs arm:1 drop....2 drops....he holds faintly before the 3rd. The crowd starts chanting Hunters name as Ziggler tightens up more. After another miniute the ref steps back in for the submission:1 drop.....2 drops....Hunters arm stays up! HHH starts showing signs of life as Ziggler panics. HHH stands up and drops Dolphs chin onto Hunters head,breaking the hold. Both men fall to the mat. The ref starts his double count. Ziggler is up at 7 ,HHH is getting up slowly afterwards. Ziggler sees Hunter is still groggy,and rushes toward him for a double ax handle. Hunter catches him midway and reverses it into a spinebuster! Ziggler writhes in pain as HHH builds his offense. Hunter slings a very prone Ziggler into the ropes and drives is head into his knee with Hunters patented knee lift! As HHH begins to setup for the pedigree ,Chris Masters runs to ringside!
JR:What the hell is Masters doing here?!
Hunter drops Ziggler as Masters distracts him. With Helmsleys back turned ,Ziggler is able to hit the Zig Zag. Dolph goes for the pin:1...2....thre...NO! HHH kicks out! Ziggler picks him up for another ,but Hunter blocks it. Kick to Zigglers stomach...Pedigree! Hunter for the pin:1...2...thr...Masters kicks HHH in the head! The ref calls for the bell. Zigglers been disqualified. Masters and Ziggler beat down HHH together and Masters puts a prone HHH into the Masterlock while Ziggler punches Hunters exposed face. Masters finally relinquishes the hold and both he and Ziggler place Hunter on the top rope. Both men take one of HHHs arms and place them over their shoulders. They lift Helmsley off the top rope for a double superplex! Ziggler and Masters stand proud over the beaten and semi-concious HHH in the middle of the ring.
JR: Ladies and gentlemen,HHH wins by DQ and will advance to the Rumble Gauntlet. But that's not the story here. Now its CAN he even compete in it after this beatdown. What kind of alliance do Masters and Ziggler have?
JS: And why attack HHH like this. Ziggler can't get into the Rumble Gauntlet now. Why did this happen?
JR:Folks we're as lost as you on this. Remember next week ,Randy Orton calls out the debuting John Cena!
JS:And more on the Kane situation.
JR: And dammit! Maybe these 2(Ziggler/Masters) will get what they deserve! Thanks for joining us again on mWWF RAW!

JR:Hardy put up a great fight Joey ,but you just can't waste time when facing a man like Regal.
JS: Exactly Jim,there are no room for mistakes with a vicious ring general the style of Regal. Valiant effort on Hardys part however.
JR:Well the wait is almost over. Mr Kent will be here to address the world championship situation after the break!
JS: I can't wait to hear what he has to say!
(Cut to the back very quickly to see a glimpse of Randy Orton arriving to the arena)
JS:Was that who I think it is Jim?!
JR: Oh wow! What else can happen tonight?
Go to commercial. End segment
(We come back to Howard Finkel standing in the ring)
FINKEL: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the Mattel Championship Committee liaison to the mWWF....Mr. Kent!
(Mr Kent walks down the ramp carrying the mWWF Championship belt)
Mr KENT: Thank you everyone for tuning in last week and being patient with the forthcoming announcement concerning the mattel World Wrestling Foundation Championship. I appreciate the interest in our product. So without further ado,here it is. This beautiful belt will be presented to the winner of a 16 man Royal Rumble/Gauntlet match! After all 16 men have entered and it comes down to 2 Superstars,then traditional 1 on 1 rules apply. However,in order to be in this match at all you MUST qualify! We're not just going to let anyone have it. You have to prove you want it. And I am pleased to say ,everyone who has sucessfully competed in singles bouts last week and this week have qualified! We will continue this process over the next 2 weeks until 16 superstars are in. We have 2 more qualifying matches tonight when Chris Jericho will face The American Dream Dusty Rhodes! And HHH will see action against Dolph Ziggler! That's our main event of the evening. Now I have to address another situation ,from last week. There is a time and place for action to get a little out of hand and violent. We expect that from a pro-wrestling venture. However the antics of Kane and the Big Show last week were uncalled for. It was a debut show,no need for antics involving fire and attempted maiming. The mWWF is about wrestling. Its about the prestige of a championship earned in competition. I expect things to be heated and ,at times,over the top. Last week,however,was not that time. Therefore,it is my decision that both Kane and Big Show be prohibited from the Championship proceedings and will not compete for that title at this time. Thank you.
JR:Wow that's a strong stance taken there by the Mattel side of things.
(Slow Chemical plays,out comes Kane)
JS:Uh oh. This is not good. Get out of there Mr Kent!
(Kane enters the ring)
KANE:Where do you think you're going. We're gonna have a little talk.
KENT:I believe I have said all I need to. Thank you.
KANE:No...no you'll have more to say in a minute. For right now though,you're gonna listen. You see you are blaming me for an incident last week that has been misinterpreted.I did not cause that fire wall incident on the ramp last week. That was simply a pyro disaster,a fluke. Certainly nothing of my doing. I'm just a man...I have no ,hahaha,"powers". Let's stay in reality Mr Kent. And I did not attempt to throw Big Show into said fire. If anything you have misconstrued my heroism for villainy.
KENT:What!? You threw the man off the ramp!How is that heroic?
KANE: On the contrary Kent,I "threw" no one! I simply shoved Show out of the way of YOUR companys pyro glitch. I saved the mans life! If you wanna talk about malice and evil intentions ,you talk about the Big Show. Earlier in that match he grabbed me by the throat and chokeslammed me thru a table! Now THAT was on purpose! THAT was unsportsman like! I was the bigger man that night,therefore I should not be punished....Show yes...me no!
KENT:No way,I'm not hearing anymore of this farce. Thank you I'll be leaving now.
KANE:I don't think you will....
(The lights drop and the ominous gong from last week tolls once. Then the lights come back up)
KANE:What's the matter .....were you people expecting someone else? Hahahaha! Well you're not getting him. You know who's fault that is? HIS!(Points at Mr Kent). He couldn't get the job done. There is no Undertaker in the mWWF. But there could be.
KENT: What do you mean? I tried for months before this organization
was launched to get him on board with mWWF! He was one of THE premier athletes we wanted to be a part of this,but he never responded. We tried .I tried. Unfortunately I failed.
KANE:Yes you did. But as you can tell by the bell Kent,he's out there. Somewhere. And only I can find him. Only I can bring him to the mWWF. Only I have that kind of connection. I can rectify your one big failure. I can bring the Undertaker to the Mattel World Wrestling Foundation! But ONLY if you rescind the ban on me competing in the Rumble for the world title.
KENT: But the board has made its decision.
KANE: I give you 1 week to convince them otherwise. If you can't,you fail again. This time,failure could be fatal Kent,welcome to pro wrestling hahahaha! (Kane lowers his hands and the pyro explodes from the ringposts as a nervous Mr Kent looks on.)
JR: Well that was intense. Kane could deliver the Undertaker?! The Championship decided in a gauntlet?!
JS:Certainly a newsworthy segment huh Jim. Wow....
Go to commercial. End segment
JR:Welcome back fans! What a first hour of action and revelations. We now know our main event will be a qualifying match for mWWF Championship gauntlet Rumble!
JS:And that will feature HHH vs Dolph Ziggler. Another qualifying match is up next as Chris Jericho will compete against Dusty Rhodes!
Howard Finkel:The next Rumble qualifying match is set for 1 fall..
("Break the Walls Dowwn!") Introducing first...Chris Jericho!
(Jericho walks to the ring and gazes upon the audience with disdain)
FINK:And his opponent....("Amerricaaan Dreeam!") The American Dream...Dusty Rhodes!
(Dusty dances his way to the ring to a tremendous ovation)
JR:Big Dust has a chance to relive his dream starting tonight. Can he do it? Can the Dream take this all the way to the top?
The Match: Dusty and Jericho lock up with a collar and elbow tie up. Jericho jockeys for position but Rhodes gets the strength advantage and forces Jericho to the ground. Jericho looks around in embarrassment as the audience taunts him. Jericho locks back up,only for Dusty to throw him back to the ground. This time Dusty struts to the cheering crowd as Jericho becomes more irate. Losing his temper,Chris rushes at Rhodes only to get tapered with 3 fists to the head and an elbow from The Dream. Jericho rolls out to the floor to break Dustys momentum. Dusty follows ,while Jerichos back is turned,Rhodes pushes him head first into the turnbuckle post! Jericho is down and Rhodes re-enters the ring as the referee begins his 10 count. Jericho makes it up and in the ring at 8. Rhodes approaches Jericho for another tie up,but is met with a finger to the eye. Jericho takes his opening and begins to work on Rhodes lower back. After several stomps and kicks to Dustys prone back,Chris lands a runing elbow drop on Rhodes injuries. He then taunts the crowd and lunges off the ropes into a lionsault. He hits right on Rhodes back. Dusty screams in pain and tries to get himself back in the game,but Jericho remains in control. Jericho dominates for about 4 more minutes with slow,methodic blows to the lower back. Finally he sets Dusty up for the Walls of Jericho. He pulls Rhodes to center ring and applies his submission. Rhodes writhes in pain,but cannot reach the ropes for a break. Jericho cranks up the Walls but Dusty refuses to tap out. As the crowd wills Dusty back into it,he musters the strength to power out with his legs! Jericho is in shock. He immediately goes back to Dusty in an attempt to re-apply the Walls submission. However Dusty counters him immediately with an inside cradle roll up....1,2, kickout at 2! Jericho and Rhodes back up simultaneously,Jericho charges,Dusty ducks,spins around and BAM! Bionic elbow! Jericho collapses into the corner. Rhodes drags him out to center ring. Goes for the cover and the pin......1,2,3! The referee hit the 3 count as Jericho put his right foot,more like his toes ,on the bottom rope. As Dusty celebrates,the referee is trying to explain the situation. The crowd is going crazy with Rhodes,but Jericho is back on his feet behind him. The ref finally gets Rhodes to understand the match must continue.Dusty turns around right into a Codebreaker! Jericho goes for the pin:1,2,3! Jericho wins.
FINKEL: Ladies and Gentlemen ,your winner Chris Jericho!
JR:Wow,fans Dusty Rhodes has nothing to be ashamed of. What a valiant effort in his return.
JS:If Rhodes had just grapevined Jerichos leg,we would have a different outcome there Jim.
JR:Take nothing away from Jericho though. He just proved why he deserves to be here.
JS: He is an incredible talent for sure.
("Voices" hits the PA...out comes Randy Orton!)
JR: We saw his arrival earlier and he's in the ring now.
JS: This should be interesting Jim.
ORTON:Let me make this short,sweet,and simple. John Cena ,I know you signed with mWWF on the same day I did. So instead of playing the waiting game and wondering when we will inevitably face off........let's just get it out of the way right off the bat. You're debut is scheduled for next week. Now you got something to talk about. When you show up to address the "Cenation" ,I will show up to address you. I've got an offer you're gonna jump at. To hell with what management wants,I'm gonna jump right to the front of the line and claim what should be mine.....the Mattel World Wrestling Foundation Championship!
(Voices plays and Orton stands on the top rope in his classic arms open pose)
JR: So we know John Cena is going to be here next week! And that man,Randy Orton,will confront him live on that broadcast.
JS: What's his offer to Cena going to be? And why would Orton want to agitate management? I guess we will find out next week.
JR: We seem to be left with more questions than answers again this week folks. But hang on,as we have another Rumble/Gauntlet qualifier to finish the show tonight. HHH vs Dolph Ziggler is next! Stay tuned
(Commercial break-end segment)
(We return to a tight shot of a pair of gold necklaces that say "305" and "MVP")
Porter:Yeah,next week the mWWF will debut its greatest investment since the purchase of a wrestling ring. The in ring debut of "Mr 305",the "MVP of physicality",Montel.....Vontavious....Porter.
JR: Another new face Joey
JS:Indeed Jim. Everyone wants to be a part of this. And we're about to see 2 Superstars who will exemplify what mWWF action is all about.
JR:Absolutely, HHH vs Dolph Ziggler is gonna happen right now!
FINKEL: The next bout is a Rumble Gauntlet Qualifying Match! (I Am Perfection ) introducing first ...Dolph Ziggler! (Ziggler strolls confidently to the ring)
FINKEL: ...and his opponent(Time To Play The Game...) Trrriple H!
(HHH douses himself with water then sprays upward )
JR:HHH looks to be in tremendous shape!
JS:As does Ziggler. This should be great!
The Match:Hunter ties up with Dolph and Ziggler is able to surprise him with a snap armdrag. Ziggler poses and taunts Hunter. They lockup again and Ziggler answers with another snap armdrag. Again Ziggler poses and gestures to the crowd. HHH gets to his feet and wants another lockup. This time Helmsley hip tosses Ziggler over the top rope! Now HHH poses and rallys the crowd behind him. Ziggler protests outside the ring,but Hunter goes out and drags him back in. The 2 seperate and go for another lockup. Hunter shifts position and hiptosses Ziggler over the top rope on the other side of the ring! Ziggler throws a fit and asks HHH to come outside the ring. Hunter agrees and out he comes. The 2 exchange blows on the outside with Hunter winning the exchange due to slamming Dolphs head into the stairs. HHH gets back in the ring. The ref starts his count but Ziggler makes it in at 6. Ziggler catches HHH in the eye with a finger poke, then unloads a barrage of uppercuts and forearms. He whips HHH into the corner turnbuckle then follows with a devastating standing dropkick to Helmsleys face while he's in the corner!Hunter collapses onto the mat and Dolph goes for a quick pin:1...2...shoulder up at 2. Ziggler stays on the offense. He grinds Hunter with a rear face lock trying to soften him up for the sleeper. He works the facelock for a couple minutes while HHH starts getting the crowd behind him. Finally Hunter starts willing himself up with the crowd support. He gets to his feet and lands 2 elbows to Zigglers midsection ,breaking the hold. Looking for momentum ,Hunter bounds off the ropes for a clothesline. Ziggler ducks and catches Hunter on the pass with the sleeper! He's got it cinched in center ring! He drops HHH to his knees. Hunter starts to fade and the referee goes in to check. He grabs HHHs arm:1 drop....2 drops....he holds faintly before the 3rd. The crowd starts chanting Hunters name as Ziggler tightens up more. After another miniute the ref steps back in for the submission:1 drop.....2 drops....Hunters arm stays up! HHH starts showing signs of life as Ziggler panics. HHH stands up and drops Dolphs chin onto Hunters head,breaking the hold. Both men fall to the mat. The ref starts his double count. Ziggler is up at 7 ,HHH is getting up slowly afterwards. Ziggler sees Hunter is still groggy,and rushes toward him for a double ax handle. Hunter catches him midway and reverses it into a spinebuster! Ziggler writhes in pain as HHH builds his offense. Hunter slings a very prone Ziggler into the ropes and drives is head into his knee with Hunters patented knee lift! As HHH begins to setup for the pedigree ,Chris Masters runs to ringside!
JR:What the hell is Masters doing here?!
Hunter drops Ziggler as Masters distracts him. With Helmsleys back turned ,Ziggler is able to hit the Zig Zag. Dolph goes for the pin:1...2....thre...NO! HHH kicks out! Ziggler picks him up for another ,but Hunter blocks it. Kick to Zigglers stomach...Pedigree! Hunter for the pin:1...2...thr...Masters kicks HHH in the head! The ref calls for the bell. Zigglers been disqualified. Masters and Ziggler beat down HHH together and Masters puts a prone HHH into the Masterlock while Ziggler punches Hunters exposed face. Masters finally relinquishes the hold and both he and Ziggler place Hunter on the top rope. Both men take one of HHHs arms and place them over their shoulders. They lift Helmsley off the top rope for a double superplex! Ziggler and Masters stand proud over the beaten and semi-concious HHH in the middle of the ring.
JR: Ladies and gentlemen,HHH wins by DQ and will advance to the Rumble Gauntlet. But that's not the story here. Now its CAN he even compete in it after this beatdown. What kind of alliance do Masters and Ziggler have?
JS: And why attack HHH like this. Ziggler can't get into the Rumble Gauntlet now. Why did this happen?
JR:Folks we're as lost as you on this. Remember next week ,Randy Orton calls out the debuting John Cena!
JS:And more on the Kane situation.
JR: And dammit! Maybe these 2(Ziggler/Masters) will get what they deserve! Thanks for joining us again on mWWF RAW!
