*3 days before Showdown*
Eric Bischoff, "Terry, it's me Eric. I just spoke with Vince and Jim and they told me to tell you that they are sorry to tell you on such short notice, that you will not be needed for Raw this week. What we are waiting for is the right moment to bring you back. Which will probably be in about a month. You will still get paid like normal. I have to run, bye."
*Eric laughs as he hangs up*
*6 hours before Showdown*
Vince, "Where the
is Hogan? He was supposed to be here yesterday. If he isn't here soon, I'm going to be livid."
Eric, "I'll call his cell and see where he is."
Vince, "Good idea."
Eric, "Hey Terry, where are you? Mhmm. Mhmm. What? You son of a bitch."
Vince, "What?"
Eric, "Theer is still at his house, he said that he isn't showing up."
Vince, ". What the hell are we supposed to do? There is no way we can get him here before the main event. Damnit. What are we supposed to do now?"
Jim, "What's wrong?"
Eric, "Hogan decided not to come, he is still at his house."
Jim, "crap. We need to find a replacement quickly. I hope he knows that we aren't pleased."
Eric, "Should I call him? What should I say?"
Jim, "Give me the damn phone. *Dials* Terry, you, I don't ever want to see you near any TRA arena. You here me? off. Don't ever call me again, don't ever try to make nice just to get a pay check. You will get paid for the remainder of the month and after that, you're on your own. Go see if some other fed will put up with your crap."
*Eric is grinning*
Jim, "What are you smiling about?"
Eric, "I told you guys not to waste your time on Hogan. And you see what happens when you do?"
Jim, "By the way, what are you doing here Eric? I thought I said for you to stay home this week. You know what, never mind. I don't have time for this. Hey, Brisco, pick any main-eventer besides Hogan and Hunter."
Jerry, "Angle."
Jim, "Thanks. Eric, when you go out there tonight, Angle vs HHH for the title."
*Showdown pyro and theme plays*
Tony Schivonie, "Welcome everybody to TRA: Showdown. We are at the Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee.
*Promo plays on the titantron*
"At the Royal Rumble, we will face the Tag Champs. We will defeat the Tag Champs. We were WWF, NWA and AWA tag champions. If we have to, we will put our opponents in a doomsday device. We are the Legion of Doom."

Jim, "I am out here to ask Vince McMahon some things. Some things, I know the fans want to know. Why the hell was your wife in a match last week. You said it was a one time thing and she won't be brought back. What was the point of having her in a match, even once? What was the point of it? I don't see one. Last week, you advertise the Blackjacks for the Royal Rumble, this week, LOD. What's up with that? Are both teams coming back at the Royal Rumble or what? Next week, we get to see Randy Orton and Batista take on Undertaker and The Big Show. Hmm. What a match that will be. A great high flying, fast paced, technical match. Ah, who am I kidding? The match will be made up of 10 minutes of rest holds, a couple big boots, a chokeslam or two, a tombstone, a spinebuster, an RKO, a powerbomb, a sit-down power bomb. What a match. What was up with Bischoff and Hogan last week? It must have been Bischoff's time of the month. Hogan must have made widdle Ewic mad. So he decided not to play any more. Too bad. If Hogan is gone for good, good riddance, we don't need his slow, non-jobbing ass. And if he is still here, but, hush hush, don't say anything, we don't need his slow, non-jobbing ass. Wait, did I just bash Eric Bischoff? He doesn't make the decisions around here. Vince McMahon and Jim Ross do. Even though, Bischoff sucks. Why, for the second week in a row, are Cena, Kane and Guerrero in a six man tag? Don't have anything for them to do, so you stick them together? Are you creating a six-man match belt? You're going to fire some wrestlers later, again, what is the point? Are their contracts up? Are you creating another fed with them? Oh, wait, forget I said that. The women's division is just crap. Six women. You split them into two teams of three. Just let them wrestle. Just get rid of the title. This division is about as sad as the WWE's, your other promotion, Vince. What is it with you and horrible women's divisions? Kurt Angle against HHH. I wonder who will win that one? Is HHH going to be the next Hogan? If he does lose tonight, he must be hurt. But then again, he could actually be trying to put someone over. *Laughs* Who am I kidding? I couldn't even keep a straight face after saying that one. I'll give credit, where credit is due. Kurt Angle is the finest athlete this company has ever and will ever see. It would be a shame not to put the world title around his waist. But knowing this company, they are just going to hold him down until his contract runs up and then never renew it. But what do I know? I do know that Vince, will never respond to what I have said. He doesn't want to tarnish anything he has done, or lack there of, for this company. I'll probably be fired after saying this, so see you when this company needs controversy and create its own. They will call me to come here and accuse Vince and the company of things. I get paid and I go right back home. It's convenient, that they are always in my hometown when they need me. Well, good night."

*Angle starts to leave, but turns around*

Eric, "Yeah?"
Vince, "As of right now, you are working backstage and no longer have an on-air role."
Eric, "What? Why?"
Vince, "The guys don't respect you that much. The fans don't react when you come out any more. Cornette, now he can talk and get a reaction. Sure, some of the guys don't like him, but that's because he speaks his mind. I'll have to give him some thought and see if he even wants to do it."
Eric Bischoff, "Terry, it's me Eric. I just spoke with Vince and Jim and they told me to tell you that they are sorry to tell you on such short notice, that you will not be needed for Raw this week.
