Live on WWE.com!Raw Half - Typed by Tom
SD! Half - Typed by CiaWWE.com camera's join the press conference, live from WWE New York just as Johnathan Coachman makes his way onto the set. The live audience of about 100 give Coach super heat.
Coach: "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Saturday Night's Main Event's live press conference. Welcome to the fans watching on WWE.com. This year's annual pre-Wrestlemania Saturday Night's Main Event shapes up to be the best ever. This press conference is a little different than the average WWE.com conference, this one is separated into to half's. We have the Raw half, and the Smackdown half. But first, let me proudly introduce, the #1 contender, The Rated R Superstar, Edge!"
The crowd, again erupts with a chorus of boos. Edge plays to the crowd, getting them as upset as possible.
Edge: "Well, well well. I see New York hasn't changed since last time I was here. Still full of ignorant, dirty, filthy slobs. You are the people who make America the laughing stock of the world. You should come to a place that has 70% less crime and vandalism than this dump. That's right, the best town in the world. Toronto!"
The crowd gives it to Edge, as he just laughs, and continues to chew his gum.
Edge: "Now I have got that out of the way, let's get down to business. Saturday Night's Main Event it will be, for the second time in Saturday Night's Main Event history, 'Main Event' vs 'Main Event.' Edge, Chris Jericho and Randy Orton vs Batista and The Undertaker. First, I would like to start with 'The Deadman.' You see, 'Taker gave me my start here in the WWE. I was a part of the newly re-founded Brood. I was part of his Ministry. But now, the tables have turned. I am a bigger star than The Undertaker now. And he will find that out come March 24th. Now, Batista. I was there back in 2003 when you were just a rookie, looking for his break here. He was an animal. But what happened Dave? You're a p*ssy now!"
The crowd then give Edge a massive pop, as Batista is not too popular with the WWE audience after his recent heel turn.
Edge: "Oh, you like that huh? Well that's good. Because what I called Batista, you New York men will never get. Now, onto my partners come March 24th. Let's start with ol' Randall Keith Orton. You made a big mistake when you stabbed me in the back, pal. You see, your only chance of becoming something other than a one time transitional champion was teaming with me. You did it, and I see you got a little bored, huh Randy? I will make you see why you should of stayed with me when I hold that belt up high come Wrestlemania time. This is your one night only chance to be back with the Rated R Superstar. Saturday Night's Main Event. March 24th, tell old Bob Orton to get a blank tape ready, because this will be the last time you will be getting the opportunity to team with the best in the business. Now, Chris Jericho, Y2J. I consider you to be one of the best in the world. But, you're just that step under me. On March 24th, it will be a team game, but not at Wrestlemania!
Edge then steps off the podium, and sits at the desk behind it.
Coach: "And now, without any further ado, The Nature Boy, Ric Flair!"
The crowd let out a huge 'WOOOOOOO', as Ric enters the WWE New York stage.
Ric Flair: "WOOOO! You see, The Nature Boy has been pretty angry this past week. Last week on Raw, some young, cocky kid spit in my face. I am sick of being the guy that the new guys dis-respect. It is time for slick Ric to become a hard ass again, WOOOO! You see Thomas Adams, this week on Raw we have a Money In The Bank qualifier, but I am looking past that. March 24th, we have a grudge match. That means no DQ. And that means I will rip your flesh, rookie. Expect the vicious side of Ric Flair come Saturday Night's Main Event. See you in 4 weeks, puss-pot, WOOOOO!!"
The crowd at WWE New York then let out another 'WOOOO!' as Ric steps down from the podium.
Coach: "Ladies and Gentlemen, that brings us to the end of the Raw half of this conference."
John Bradshaw Layfield comes from behind the curtain and approaches the podium.
JBL: "Thank you Coach, now Ladies and Gentlemen, for the better half of the WWE, Friday Night Smackdown is not only the best wrestling product on Television today, it is the most dominant brand is sports entertainment history, this is going to be proved at Saturday Night’s Main Event, when Smackdown defeat not one, not two, but three, Raw Superstars, and secure their place in Wrestling History. I’d like to introduce you a man that knows what facing adversity is like, Former World Champion…. Chris Benoit!"
The crowd erupts with cheers as Benoit comes out onto the Stage, he shakes the hand of John Bradshaw Layfield, both men showing eachother respect, Benoit takes to the mic.
Benoit: "3 years ago, at Wrestlemania 20, I fulfilled my destiny, and defeated Triple H and Shawn Michaels, Raw Superstars, to win the World Heavyweight Championship. It was the defining moment of my career, another defining moment was when I first won the United States Championship, a Championship I lost two weeks ago on Smackdown. Chavo Guerrero, shows no respect, he shows no drive, all he shows, is that he is a gutless piece of crap. Now the US Title may not be on the line at Saturday Night’s Main Event, but I’ am going to teach Guerrero a lesson, a lesson of respect, I ‘am going to prove to him that I’ am the RIGHTFUL United States Champion!"
The crowd continues to cheer Benoit…
Benoit: "Chavo, you say you do things for Eddie. Eddie would be disgusted at what you have become. Absolutely disgusted, your no more a Guerrero than I’ am. You’re… a coward."
The crowd starts an “Eddie” chant as Benoit sits down next to JBL on the Smackdown side of the podium. JBL then gets up and takes to the mic once again.
JBL: "The World Heavyweight championship is the most prestigious championship in the History of this sport. I JBL said to Batista last week on Smackdown, if he could defeat any superstar this week, he would get his World Title shot, but, that’s not going to happen, I decided to give Batista the World Title shot anyway, he has the drive and ambition that I wish I had within me, but at Saturday Night’s Main Event, March 24th, Batista won’t be worried about the World Title, he won’t be worried about anything, He’ll just be carrying his team to victory, he did it in Evolution, he did it with Rey Mysterio, and now, he’s going to do it for Smackdown. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Number One Contender to the World Championship… he is “The Animal” Batista!"
Batista comes out onto the stage and shakes hands with JBL, he looks on at Edge and Flair, and then at Benoit, the crowd start a “you suck” chant as Batista takes to the mic.
Batista: "April 3rd 2005. Batista proved he was the man. He proved he could go at it with the best of them, defeating Triple H… The Game! I did that, I proved myself and I became the World Heavyweight Champion. I did it again at Survivor Series, defeating Booker T and now, at Wrestlemania, I’ll defeat none other than the Legendary, the Icon… The Undertaker."
Huge boo’s from the Crowd… “Taker” chant starts.
Batista: "You can boo me all you want, that’s not going to get me out of the Main Event at Wrestlemania, nothing you people say is going to change the fact that I will become the NEW World Champion… But, that’s Wrestlemania, this is Saturday Night’s Main Event and I have to team with Taker, I have to fight for Smackdown and I have to beat the Scum from Raw."
Edge tries to get up but Flair restrains him and helps him keep his cool…
Batista: "Did I hit a nerve Edge? Well good. Because I’ am going to be hitting a lot more than your nerves at SNME. Im going to be hitting you, Orton and Edge; and once Im done teaming with Taker, I’ll go onto Mania to kick his… a"
The lights go out and it is dark, Taker’s voice comes over the PA System “Batista, I’d watch your mouth, because at Wrestlemania 23… you will, Rest, In, Peace…” The lights come back on and Batista looks on in shock, Batista flees going behind the curtain as the fans cheer and boo.
Coach approaches the Podium, looking scared. As Edge, Flair and Benoit exchange words.
Coach: "Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s sure to be a hell of an Event, tune into Saturday Night’s Main Event, where Raw and Smackdown… Collide."
