WWF Build up to Survivor Series Week 1
*Play Intro*
*Play Company*
-We open Raw after the usual intro package with the Company making their way to the ring. Bryan Danielson is being helped by Cornette and has badinages over his ribs and right arm, as well as large patch of stitches covering his forehead. He looks sore as he enters the ring with help “and rightfully so” comments JR. Jim Cornette now has a mic as the company disperse around the ring, the Miz and MVP not even looking at each other and going to opposite side of the ring, Miz with an even cockier swagger than usual.
“The company has come out here to address several issues” Cornette begins “the first of which is the status of the World Wrestling Federation Champion. His status is simply the fact that after the barbaric brutal match, probably the worst ever, he survived and beat Shawn Michaels without any help in the middle of this ring! That is all you need to know and know that he will make a full recovery from his extensive injuries. Now on to the other events of last night. MVP and Miz have sat down with myself and Sherri today and we sorted out the details and the problems between them and came to the agreement that what is done is done and Miz was acting in the best interests of the company. Right?” He looks over at Miz who nods and yells back “yeah!”
“Right?” Cornette over to agitated MVP.
MVP does not answer, turning away with a face like thunder until Sherri comes over and says something to him and he turns and reluctantly nods.
“Good. Now…on to the fact that by winning last night’s match the Miz now has a title match at Survivor Series against our retaining and long reigning Champion Bryan Danielson…”
Cornette is cut off as Bryan takes the mic and speaks into it, his voice weak “well that’s sorted right now because Miz is going to give that shot up or postpone it.”
“Postpone it?” Miz yells off mic and then demands one before responding “what the hell are you talking about. I ain’t doing that!”
Cornette come sin now trying to talk “sense” into him, to which Miz yells back a few things and then Bryan talks again.
“Now in regards to a replacement challenger…”Danielson begins.
“Hey Minnie champ!” Miz cuts him off, Bryan turns with raised eyebrows “yeah you who looks about as much a heavyweight as Rey Mysterio! I don’t know if all that blood from last night has clotted in your ears but clear it and listen up. I ain’t giving up my title match!”
With that the two steps forward and begin loud words and gestures, the other Company members stepping forward and getting involved or trying to calm them down.
*Play Joe return*
The suddenly piece of music plays and the lighting grows dim as all heads turn to the ramp. The music then fades into that of Samoa Joe’s! The crowd reacts with surprise and wonder as Joe steps through the curtain with blackened eyes and new red and black long trunks. He looks fierce as he storms down the ramp and into the ring.
“We haven’t seen Joe since Summerslam!” Calls JR.
Joe steps through the ropes and up to the confused Company. The company then relax, Cornette and Sherri bursting into grins and Cornette opening his arms and saying “Welcome back.”
Joe smiles back to them all and greats them, all seems well…and then the smile fades into that of snarl. Cornette’s eyes grow wide, the rest of the Companies also as Sherri and others back off from him. Joe then launches forwards and beginning hammering into Wade, and then Ecktor and then MVP taking them all down. The numbers seem to be too much however as the others go in for him but then the lights cut out.
*Play Undertaker*
As the break in the music hits the Order of Darkness burst from out the curtain and run on mass to the ring, the Undertaker and Daffney emerging behind them and walking slowly side by side down the ramp as the others slide into the ring. They run forward and begin hammering into the Company backing up Samoa Joe!
“My God! I have the idea when we heard Joe’s intro music but its official! Samoa Joe is now part of the Order of Darkness and it seems that for his old friends in the Company their time has come!”JR yells over the chaos and crowd noise.
The beat down continues as the Undertaker finally walks up the ring steps and causally steps into the ring with Daffney following. As he reaches the centre of the ring among the battle he calls out getting of his minions attention and then points to the Miz and Danielson yelling “leave him and him! Dispose of the others!”
With that the Order has their orders and begins hammering into the others, breaking into two groups; one to attack the majority of the Company and the others to keep Danielson and Miz from escaping. They brawl them to the outside now, Joe casing Cornette and Sherri off as “no threat” and then turns back to help with the others. Wade Barret is then set up on the Spanish announce table, Hayabusa climbs the top rope and flies off and down with the Phoenix Splash taking Wade through the table and out. Meanwhile Foley has pulled back the mats and grabbing Ecktor proceeds with Kendra’s help to spike piledriver him headfirst onto the concrete floor. They all gather now around MVP and set him up, Christian holding his head up to the ring post as Edge now has a chair. Edge reels back as JR catches on and yells “No!” In vein. Edge targets, reels back and smashes the chair into the side of MVP’s skull sandwiching it between it and the ring post with a loud crack that makes all at ringside wince.
As the attack ends and all the other Company lie out cold on the floor the Order regroups in the ring, several of them grabbing Miz and Danielson who are pleading for their lives and bring them to their knees before the Undertaker as Daffney hands him a microphone.
“Like I said Company you’re time has come” he looks around with a sick smile then looks down into the lenses of a ringside camera “are you all understanding yet the words I have spoken? Are the words in my entrance music sinking in yet? Samoa Joe is the latest, but as you know not the first. I find those with darkness within them, I bring it to the surface and then dispose of any without that potential. I have done this with your heroes; I have done this with ever other member of the decedent groups from which I have picked my army. But that is just the beginning. But! Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here, hello boys” he walks forward now with an evil smile, crouching down to the look the kneeled Miz and Bryan in the eyes and looks between them as he speaks “the only reason you are both still able bodied…well” he looks at Danielson and his scars from last night “mostly. Why I didn’t put the nail in the coffin for one and cripple the other is because of your title match. I have stock in this company and whether I like it or not your title match will line my pockets and allow me to use that money to further my goals, for that reason and the fact that nothing would please me more than for you two decedent fools to destroy each other for my title.”
He smiles again as Danielson looks at him confused for a moment then with a single sharp movement snaps his hand up to grab him around the throat “yes! My title! One of many things you took from me this year that set what you see before you in motion, set me on this path. I may have let you under the radar but I do not forgive and I do not forget. But perhaps I should be thanking you. You opened your eyes, liberated me from my limited mind set and allowed all of this to happen. But make no mistake…” he clenches Bryan’s throat causing the already injured man to gasp for air and struggle in Gabriel and Joe’s grip “you are only champion because I have allowed you to be. Make no mistake boy, when I want that title I will take it. But for now” he rises up and throws Bryan back “I will let you both go, let you have your title match at Survivor Series. But whoever wins…well their celebrations may not last very long at all after that night of which I have so much planned. Release them!” He orders.
With that they do as he commands, stepping back and allowing Miz and Bryan to flee up the ramp as fast as their feet can take them, Taker even throwing Bryan his belt.
“Now…” Taker begins to walk towards facing hard camera “onto important business. I promised that tonight I would give answers and then I would begin my end game of my plans. And so I shall.”
The crowd come alive and Taker turns now as Karl Dutton walks out onto the ramp to watch and listen.
“Ah” Taker smiles “glad you could join us. Do you like my new slave of darkness Dutton?” He gestures to a seething Joe “as you can see he reveals in the darkness I have released within him. But…answers is why you are here and that is what you will get. You see what you have all seen other the past several months has been the blunt, frontal assault part of my plans. You have seen as I have gained strength through crude muscle and raw power, how I have wiped out all the pawns from the board until only the king and few useless fools remain. But that was only what you saw. I am not an invalid, I know that many have tried and failed to seize power in this business before through the same methods you have seen me employee. But unlike those fools I was also working behind the scenes on the more cerebral and effective part of my plan. You have all seen since July how I have had power to make policy here in the World Wrestling Federation, to make matching and to redefine titles. Matches were even changed to no disqualification for no rhyme or reason and no explanation. Well I assure you I had a reason for all of them. While you and all your pawns have been looking behind you and trying to mount a defensive against my frontal assault I have been using my considerable wealth I have earned in my career headlining these events to buy stock in this company. One by one I offered the holders far more than the stocks were worth and as a publicly traded company you can see how it is only a matter of money to gain political favor. As of last week Dutton I now own almost 50% stock in this company making you no longer the majority shareholder and me with as much power as you have. But to gain such a stock I needed to seller to get me started, a man who has enough stock to sell me to gain favor from the start back in July. That man provided my base and the irony of who it is I am sure will not be lost on you Dutton…”
*Play Shane Mcmahon*
The crowd reacts loudly as Shane Mcmahon walks out on stage, walking past the open mouth Dutton with a smile and heading down to the ring. As he enters it in usual Mcmahon manor and up to Taker shaking his hand.
“Can you see the puzzle falling into place yet Dutton? But wait…there is more. I made it quite clear that I don’t want to work with you Karl, I don’t want control of half. Half order is no order. I want it all, I want all of it! But I have spent most of my own funds to buy the stocks I have and I know you will not sell for any price. But that is fine, I anticipated it. You see as I have eliminated all your pawns and knights the only thing left on the board is you Karl and a few fools who would not dare challenge me. You are all alone to be bent to my will. From this point forward Dutton you will not be able to have an interview, a segment or a match without me and my forces destroying it! And you cannot fire or punish any of them because I have as much power here as you do! The only exception is perhaps the World title match between those fools who just left because I do need a payback on my investment.”
“What do you want?” Karl finally raises a mic and speaks solemnly.
“You know what I want Dutton. This Company, all of it! I was there last year and at Wrestlemania Dutton, I know you can be gambling man. I even fought on your side this time last year to drive off this man’s farther” he points to Shane “so do the same with me. I will put my stock on the line; you put yours on the line in a match. And in the sense of tradition let’s make it a 5 on 5 elimination tag team Survivor Series match! Just like last year. But the difference will be three things: One I will not be your puppet this time, two you have no pawns left on the board thanks to the muscle part of my tactics to make a decent team to combat us and as a result of all that and more; You will not win! What do you saw Karl?”
Dutton lowers in head in thought for a moment with no answer. That prompts Shane to get a microphone now.
“Hey! Take our offer or leave it moron! You took my father’s company and I would rather it be in the hand of me and this man rather than in yours! I mean…look at the damage you have done already over the last year. My Farther would have never stood for this! He would have fired Taker when he had the chance! So what do you say idiot? Take it or leave it!”
Finally Karl stops thinking, looks up and speaks “and if I don’t?”
“Then you better not have any matches booked tonight” Taker grins “because none will happen I assure you of that!”
Karl curses and then finally raises his head and meekly speaks “I agree…”
“What?” Shane asks.
“I agree dam it!” He yells emphatically now.
Taker and Shane break into broad grins as the dejected and upset Dutton walks backstage.
“Then I will have the office pawns draw up a contract! The Undertaker VS Karl Dutton Survivor Series match, whichever representative’s team wins get 100% Stock of this company!”
As Shane speaks he hasn’t noticed the others backing away into a ready stance now. Slowly with a frown he turns to face them, each smiling at him like prey. Taker now lifts the microphone.
“Sorry Shane, but I worked with you before and it’s a mistake I will never make again. I have always had one rule since this time; never work with a Mcmahon! And now you have publicly sold to me and shown up here to confirm it to him…you are no longer useful to me!”
Shane barely has time to react as the Order rush forward and on mass and begin beating the hell out of him as Taker looks on with an evil expressive smile and chuckle, Daffney at his side. Finally as the pact parts Taker points to Joe and gives him to the go ahead to finish it as his final initiation. He does so proudly picking up Mcmahon, placing him on the top rope and smashing Shane down with a muscle buster and leaving him lifeless again.
“Samoa Joe is once again a dark monster and serves me! The Company faction is no more! I am co owner of this company and Dutton has agreed to this Survivor Series match in which he has no pawns left to make a strong enough team to oppose me” Taker grins “I told you that you didn’t want to miss the show tonight!”
With that the Orders music hits and they stand around the battered body of Shane, the other Company bodies still lying at ringside as we zoom in on the out cold Shane and fade to a break.
-When we return we are told that on Dutton’s orders things will try and proceed as normal.
As such we get out first match as the Motor City Machine Guns defeated the Steiner in a heated Tag Team bout.
-We then cut too backstage where Gene Okerlund is ushering a camera to follow him towards Dutton’s office. As they reach the door he knocks and pushes it open.
“Yes?” Karl looks up from his glasses and legal papers in front of him to see Gene and the camera man entering “Gene…this really isn’t a good time.”
“I know boss I just wanted to see if you had any comments on what the Undertaker revealed tonight?”
“Well it’s obvious that he planned this out piece by piece very well like a chess game as he says but…” Karl starts but is interrupted by his phone going off and answers it “excuse me.”
He answers and listens as Okerlund and camera look on. We see as he face suddenly turns from a frown to confusion and almost brightening up.
“What...I mean how?” He asks with confusion and listens to voice at the other end “you are sure? And you can get here tonight to show and say all this?.... Yeah I know but how did you get….wow! And you’re ok? After…yeah well just get here right away and we will show that bastard. Huh? Oh I have someone in mind. Yeah, right, that’s great. See ya!”
Dutton puts the phone down, his face now bright with a hope and a bewildered smile.
“Mr. Dutton?” Okerlund asks.
“I…well I just have a message for the Undertaker if I may” he looks at the camera.
“Oh course” Okerlund nods.
“Taker if you watching this, and I know you are, listen up; Meet me in the ring at the end of the night and I will have a few surprises of my own for you!”
“What? Can you tell us anymore?” Gene asks.
“I have said enough already, now please…I have a lot to do before then.”
“Oh course. Thank you” Okerlund nods as the camera drops and we fade back to the arena.
-Next Dolph Ziggler took on and was defeated by Ken Shamrock in a singles match.
-We are now backstage as Gene Okerlund has now reached what was the Companies locker room.
“Hello?” He asks as pushes the door open to see Cornette, Sherri and Danielson standing in there “can I get a comment?”
Danielson is sitting on the sofa tending to his reinjured wounds from last night and the aggravation caused by tonight’s brawl.
“Yeah you can get a comment! **** Off!” Cornette yells and aggressively pushes Okerlund and the camera man out and slams the door shut hard.
“Well I…hope the censors caught that. Apologizes for Mr. Cornette’s…” he stops as he sees someone off screen and yells “Miz! Miz!”
Okerlund begins to run now, the camera turning and following up to the Miz who was walking at the end of the corridor.
“I was wondering if you had any comments as to what happened out there earlier tonight?”
“Only this…the Undertaker got lucky this time! He had more men and he surprised us by having Samoa Joe betray us! But not anymore! The Miz is no longer with those losers and is going to do what I do best and that’s look out for myself. What I am going to do is concentrate and training myself to win my title match, worry only about that and Survivor Series and deal with all this other crap I got pulled into thanks to them later!” Miz rants.
“Well with all due respect, you did help the Company screw the Undertaker in May…”
“Ah dada!” Miz cuts him off with a hand gesture “what I did I did as a pack but now this Miz is going it alone. And I will do far better on my own. You are looking at the next WWF Champion Gene and you know why? Because I’m the Miz and I’m awesome!”
-Next it’s a tag team match as Ken Anderson teams with the returning Dynamite Kid to take on Randy Savage and KENTA. The later face team gets the win following a GTS followed by a Elbow drop on Anderson. The feud between the two now includes others and continues to boil in the post match facials of all.
-It is then the women’s time as Kong demolished Angelina Love and Velvet Sky in a two on one handicap match, Kong taking out all her anger and frustration from last night out on the two. After winning the match she looks straight into the hard camera, points and then cuts her throat as an obviously message to the OOD’s monster female.
-And in the main event of the evening The Brood retained their Tag Team Championships for a second night in a row via DQ against LAX when MCMG came out and accidently caused the DQ. After the match LAX were understandably enraged and brawl broke out between the two teams. As Edge and Christian looked on at this the Hart Dynasty attacked from behind and the two brawls soon bleed into each other, the 4 teams fighting for everything they have until security and refs arrive and manage to pull them all apart. They all escorted to the back with the exception of E & C who are about to be when the Undertaker appears on the ramp and tells the security to let his men free. We then go to break as the music kicks in the Order of Darkness begin to make their way again down to the ring on mass.
-When we return from break the Order are in the ring awaiting Dutton.
*Play Karl*
Karl comes out looking far more confident than earlier, striding down to the ring and getting a microphone of his own, as Taker already has one.
“Ok let’s get down to business. What do you want Dutton?” Taker asks.
“Well…I was thinking about our agreed Survivor Series match, the one we agreed on earlier where the winning mans team win him full ownership of this Federation.”
“The contract is being drawn up for you to sign and it would be very unwise for you to back out. For your health and than of your ‘independent contractors’.”
“Oh I don’t intend to. I just want to announce my team for Survivor Series…”
Taker rumbles with laugher “who do you have left that I haven’t destroyed, or who already have business at the Pay Per View.”
“Well for that I will turn over to a friend of mine to answer Taker. You may know him…”
*Play HBK*
The crowd comes alive as beaten, battered and stitched up as he may be HBK Shawn Michaels stumbles out of the curtain and onto the ram with a weak smile.
“Hey Deadman” he speaks in a mic, his voice showing a bit of his evident pain “I bet you didn’t expect me to show up tonight after last night huh?”
The Order looks on with shock, looking to their master who wears a scowl.
“But if Bryan can make it here tonight for you to threaten then so can I but it’s me who will be doing the threatening!” The crowd pop for that one “see Taker I wasn’t planning on being here tonight. Because as I lay in my hospital bed last night, ready to storm out when I was discharged this morning right here and show you that neither a match like that or your cowardly attack that ‘finished me’ will keep HBK down! That is when I got a phone call. It was from a person who frankly I thought would be the last guy to call me. But what he said shocked me even more. You see he said that he has been working with two other men behind the scenes to form an alliance to return and take you down! He then offered me…when I was better, a place as the fourth member and co team Captain of that group with them. I met with them today and we were at our first face to face meeting to discuss tactics when we saw what you said and did earlier. And naturally as Karl now needs a team we thought there is no time like the present to reveal ourselves to you as that team! Or at least most of it. Now I may not be in the shape for a fight tonight and may need to rest up to be well enough to be on that team in three weeks but trust me Taker I will be there and I will be a hundred and ten percent. But as for now allow me to introduce a man who has had time to heel his wounds your caused! The man who put this together and frankly a man I never thought I would work with. Ladies and Gentleman and present evil minions allow me to introduce the co team Captain of Dutton’s Survivor Series team!”
*Play Bret Hart*
The place goes nuts as Bret Hart emerges through the curtain to return to a huge ovation. He grins as he walks up and extends his hand to HBK who turns gingerly and shakes it as the crowd roars again. Taker looking on with aggravation now as HBK hands Bret the mic.
“Hey! Bet you didn’t expect to see me any time soon did you boys? Taker? Well allow me to add to that and burst your bubble a little further by introducing the next man on our team…”
*Play AJ Styles*
The place roars huge again as the Phenomenal One emerges and shakes hands with both, taking his place in line.
“And last but not least another man who you tried to get rid of, whose career you tried to end and a man I have no love lost for but we now have common goals. What is it they say about the enemy of my enemy?”
*Play Kurt Angle*
Angle is straight faced with determination as he walks out and stands beside the others, staring down a hole into Taker and his group in the ring.
“Well that about wrapped it up for whom we brought. But as you know we have 4 and we need 5” Bret continues “and so Dutton suggested another man who has no love lost for you who apparently volunteered to him the moment he went through the curtain earlier. And we were more than happy to accept him. Everyone, our final member!”
*Play Jushin Liger*
The crowd is going nuts as the Intercontinental Champion completes the lineup, shaking hands and standing beside the others as for the first time the Order look unnerved and Taker has nothing to saw. Karl smiles and leaves the ring to go up to the ramp and greet them each, one by one shaking their hands and thanking them.
“Holy cow!” JR yells on commentary “look at this line up! This may be the greatest group of wrestlers, the greatest group of heroes ever assembled!”
“JR! We don’t agree on much but I like our chances now!” Lawler responds.
HBK now has the microphone again.
“Get ready Taker because your plans are about to fall to pot! You are looking at the resistance! And we are all here united to tell you that you may have tried to eliminate each of us from your chess game but you didn’t try hard enough! 5 on 5 Elimination match huh? Well we accept your terms on 2 conditions…otherwise we will just go back there and unite the locker room to come out and do this the old fashioned way tonight!”
“What?” Taker sneers into his mic.
“Well the first is that if your lose not only do you give up your political power and stocks in the WWF but you must also disband the Order of Darkness and let each of them get help for whatever it is you did to them!”
“Deal!” Taker cries back “what else?”
“The other is” Bret now has the mic again “that you yourself stop being such and yellow bellied pusy, look inside yourself find a bit of the man you once were and return to active wrestling duty to Captain your team yourself!” The crowd roar at the idea as Taker turns away “that’s it Deadman! We finally get chance to face you as well as your lackeys or the deal is off!”
Taker looks down for a moment, looks at his men and women and then turns back with a determined face.
“I may be the Dark Master now but I retired myself by choice so as not to dirty myself with the likes of you! But frankly after all of this I would like nothing better than to personally pummel you all myself and take Dutton’s company with my own hands! Deal!”
The crowd roars as Dutton’s team all nod.
“See you then, then Undertaker. And remember what has happened here! The resistance has begun and all of this…its time has come to an end!”
With that Bret’s music hits and the two sides stares each other down as the logo comes out and we fade to black.
Survivor Series Build Up Week 2
Raw fades in cold with the newly assembled team WWF in the ring, Bret Hart front and centre with a microphone in hand. They look around at the cheering crowd and now on the outside of the ring the camera men move back showing just about every other member of the locker room standing side by side. It looks like a strike as all the employees stand in unity despite past differences. Bret now lifts the microphone to speak.
“We stand here as one! And we stand out here like this, brothers in arms to represent the numbers that are willing to rally against you Undertaker! You love to play the numbers game, flaunt your forces numbers and use them to take us out one by one! And when we all stood apart, in cliques or by ourselves we were indeed vulnerable to that. But now we stand as one for more than our own wants and together we will make sure you can never do it again, and we will as one take you out Deadman! We will make sure that you will never be able to assault anyone here again without feeling our sting back for your actions. So we will see if you truly have the heart for a real fight won’t we? In this ring is the team that will represent the World Wrestling Federation and its legal, deserving owner at Survivor Series, the General’s of this company’s very own army! And we will not rest until you have paid for every week, day, hour you cost us!”
HBK now walks forward and takes the mic as both men nod respectfully at each other.
“And this core team will never be more so united a force than on that Sunday night Deadman! When we defend our jobs, our livelihood and this very business from evil! This company means too much to all of us, it has done too much for all of us, to allow you to consume and twist it into your own dark vision of order. When men like you get power they cause wars, suffering and horrors beyond our worst nightmares. I know you believe every word you speak, and I know that your minions have had their minds so twisted than they believe it too, and that scares me. And for that, and for everything else is why we are out here now as brothers in this industry to say no! To stand up for our company and what we believe in despite petty differences! Good will always triumph over evil and we will beat you no matter the odds at Survivor Series!”
He now lets out a calming breath as he turns, checks who wants it and then hands it to Angle in request.
“I know you people don’t like me and I still don’t care but this is about more than that! Undertaker! Your hurt me! Yeah, good one. Thing is I told myself a long time ago; I don’t give in to injuries. I get back up, train harder and then is needed find those responsible and make them pay! Yeah I may not like these men and they may not like me personally or professionally but I respect them. But what I don’t respect is men like you who cower in the shadows and use pawns to do their dirty work! You want to control us! You want to bring Order to this chaos huh? Try it! Because evil men have breakable ankles too! Oh its true, its dam true!” He stares into the camera with an unnerving stare as AJ now takes the microphone.
“I haven’t really got a whole lot to add to what my teammates said except that Taker; I made a promise that I was coming for you after what you did to me at Summerslam and no matter what you threw at me I am still here and still ready to carry out that promise. I swore I would fight all your men to get to you and at Survivor Series I get my chance. I may have to fight through four of your men in one match to do it, but I will. You agreed to be in this match and when the smoke clears and you are finally across the ring from me then we will see who is truly Phenomenal around here when I finally carry out my promise!”
The crowd roars as each man looks out at them and look more determined than ever after getting that on their chest. The men ringside nodding and in some cases clapping at the remarks. It is a feel good moment for them all when…
*Play Mankind*
The crowd boos heavily as the Undertaker’s right hand man makes his way out, flanked by Gabriel and Samoa Joe. He has a microphone of his own as he stops at the top of the ramp and speaks into it.
“You know I was just watching this backstage with my brothers and master and both he and I agreed that this” he gestures to them all “it’s the fakest most pathetic thing we have ever seen! You people make me sick with your false smiles and your lies! So you’re all friends no huh? Soon Tiger Mask will be having Jushin Liger over for dinner! The British Bulldog stands side by side with the Dynamite Kid and worst of all Bret Hart stands shoulder to shoulder with the man that raped him in the ring in Montreal and the man who just months ago tried to end his career as he tried to end his! You all speaks the words each of you want to hear, and you all stand for the cause against the evil oppressor! Since when did half of you even like Dutton or his decisions? If there is anything I hate more than a fool it’s a hypocrite! And that’s what you all are doing right now. The Dark Lord was right about all of you. You speak as though he has brainwashed us but he did nothing of the sort. Oh, he awakening the part of us we love the most and let us thrive in it! All he did to make us hate you was open our eyes to the political, scheming BS that fills the heart of every man in and around that ring. You don’t care about beating us, you can barely tolerate pretending to have the friends you have without pushing it to your outright enemies. But you have. And for what? Because you are all worried about your jobs, you worry what will happen to the expensive lifestyles you lead if the Undertaker as the new owner terminates your contract. How will the kids get into that private school without that 6 figure income hmm? As I said, you make me sick!”
“We are not the ones pretending here Mick” Shawn speaks up now “You used to love this company, the man you were and can be again would be doing exactly what we are for it despite…”
“The man I was!” Mankind shrieks to cut him off “I was a fat, sell out loser who cared more about selling books than I did about any just cause! Don’t you of all people Shawn! Don’t you dare talk to me about being a man of honor! You are the worst pretending, the worst hypocrite of all! You claim to be the pure Christian but I ask what pure Christian takes a shard of glass and slices it into a man’s head! Where your love and forgiveness was your good books teaches then huh? The Undertaker, our Master made me again the man that took the great Shawn Michaels to a limit not even he could beat at Mind Games 1996. He made me my true self again and I would rather die than give that up again…” he fades off and then after a moment of pacing the stage begins to chuckle as all look on confused and perhaps more than a little unnerved “but all of this is pointless. You think that he didn’t know your injuries would heal in time for this event? You think he actually didn’t think that you may all come back asking for more, he hoped not but he knew it was a possibility. What if I said that he knew about your little group all along and that already as it was with each of the ‘factions’ he has sleeper agent within your Survivor Series team? How easy would it then to lure you in and then strike when the moment is right? Say that they have already been changed but acts and speaks as one of you to gain your trust so he can stab you in your back!”
“I’d say Taker has to do better than that to defeat our confidence. He wants to beat us then he better fight us, we won’t be beat by head games!” Bret retorts.
“Hmm really? Believe what you want because it will make it all the easier come Survivor Series to beat you. Later tonight the Dark Lord will choose the men that will face you and I hope will all my soul that I am on that team, because when the final victory comes and you all lay and stand around in mournful defeat I will cherish the look in your eyes and you will ask yourselves why you didn’t listen to the fair chance he is offering you to make it a fair fight. Have a nice day!”
With that Mankind’s music hits and he grins broadly at them as they all look on as he as he turns, leaving and taking the two beats with him, they all break into a heated discussion in the ring as we fade to commercial.
When we return from break a camera crew, as told by JR, have caught up with team WWF backstage. The camera man moves slowly now around the hall, we can hear voices yelling as he pries the door open and films into it unnoticed.
“…It all head games Kurt!” Bret shouts cutting Angle off in mid tirade “there is no traitor. You saw the look on his face last week! He didn’t know about us. He just wants us to do this so we don’t trust each other while his men are ready to die for him! Under those conditions they will beat us!”
“We have to stick together! It’s all BS Kurt!” Shawn nods in agreement.
All look at each other for a moment until from the far bench Liger speaks up in Japanese. His word gibberish to most.
“What?” Shawn calls over as they all turn to look at the seated Senti based grappler.
“Where’s that translator when you need him?” AJ curses and walks off towards the other door.
“Last saw him at the hotel” Bret calls after him “think he might be in the other dressing room!”
The chatter continues until finally AJ returns with the man in question.
“Right say what you said again” AJ gestures towards the translator.
Liger repeats in and the translator replies “hi!” in response then turns to the others.
“He says perhaps that is what he wants to think. Perhaps ignoring Mankind’s words is the wrong thing to do.”
“You only had them translated for you by Dusty. Trust me something is lost in translation. He is bullshitting!” Shawn replies and the translator translates it and Liger responds again.
“Perhaps” the translator replies for him.
“Well I have a match tonight so I have enough of this, I need to get ready” Kurt holds his hands up leaves the room followed by Bret, Shawn and AJ.
Liger calls out.
“He asks you to wait” the translator tells him.
Liger speaks a long string of words and the Translator swallows before turning slowly towards the frowning AJ and relates it.
“He says that perhaps if there is a traitor it is the last man we would think of but the one we should. After all he helped one man try and take this company.”
“Shawn is my friend! He is the best man I know and he has changed since then! I know him, he wouldn’t be turned for any price!” AJ responds passionately.
Liger gets the response and then again responds himself.
“He says that is why it is so easy for Undertaker to fool us. We know from that that Shawn has darkness in his heart, we saw it at No Mercy how much that darkness can consume him. He is not pure…”
Liger continues and then so does the interpreter.
“He says he is only trying to make sure we are not betrayed and lose in two weeks, too much is at stake.”
Again more unrecognizable words.
“He says he knows you made a pact with Shawn and your other friends to protect each other. He then asks you to recall the night you were attacked and while your other friend the Machine Guns came to help…he asks where Shawn was that night? Why did he not come and save you?”
AJ does not respond but merely swallows and turns to look straight at Liger for a few moments as the masked man looks back at him and speaks again.
“He did not want to say this” the translator relays “but he cares to much for your cause to not say what he sees and thinks.”
AJ again does not respond and after a few more moments of silence sighs, turns and leaves. The camera zooms in on Liger as he too sighs and lowers his masked head into his hands, running them through his hair as we fade back to the arena.
It is then time for our first match of the night as KENTA hits the GTS to pin Kaz.
We then cut to the announce table.
“Well folks we have an announcement straight hot off the press from the boss’s office” JR begins.
“Half owner JR” Lawler corrects him.
JR looks annoyed and continues “apparently both Randy Savage and Ken Anderson have been to his office today demanding a rematch with each other of some kind and he has come up with a good one to answer their request.
“Yeah” Lawler adds “he has told both men that they will captain the other Survivor Series 5 on 5 Elimination match this year.”
“He has told both men” continues Ross “to go and choose their own team. The deadline for all four men is the end of Raw next week. Of course we will bring any updates on this as it becomes available. Stay tuned here, next week and on wwfwrestling.com for continued coverage.”
Both men as then cut off as we cut back to the entrance way and…
*Play The Miz*
The Miz swaggers out in a full suit to loud boos. He merely grins as them as only he can and struts his way into the ring and casually taking an offered microphone.
The crowd don’t give him chance to speak as they boo.
“I have asked for this time, it’s my time so shut up and listen” Miz tells them calmly which gets louder boos back “I have an announcement…or two…or three…no two. Ah who can keep it all straight? Fact is the longer I talk the longer the ratings spike. Now…on to my first announcement and that is that as of Friday last week at midnight Eastern Time I am officially no longer contracted to that dead horse group the Company. Instead I am branching out on my own and I feel freer than I have in months! Fact is those idiots were ridding my coat tails and keeping me down. Their bumbling cost me my X Division Championship and kept me from becoming Intercontinental Champion! But that’s alright…because I went into business for myself, tossed all those peons, including my ‘fellow employee’ MVP over the top rope, how’s the head by the way Montel? And became the number one contender for the World Wrestling Federation Championship! You see for me it may be one step back but I then take five giant steps forward, oh yeah and I did it all by myself. Now I may not be able to hide behind others, I may not be able to barely beat Mankind and Shawn Michaels… finally! I might add. But I don’t need any briefcase to win the big one. I am going to do it all on my own without any riding my coattails and keeping me down” he lets out a sigh and raising his head “you smell that? Smells like a new champion is about to crowned. No? Well it must be you people then!” He grins as they boo him and losely handedly brings the mike to his mouth again. “Now onto the important stuff. You see after I disbanded from the company and people started taking notice of me I stated getting more female attention if you know what I mean. But I am not a man whore like Bryan who would sleep with any 2 dollar piece of ass that happens to get past the fact he is almost a midget. In more places than one too if you know what the mean” he smiles as the crowd respond “hey I teamed with the guy for months, I’d know. Wow I would kill myself if it were me…anyway. No I am not like that, I instead found the perfect women who is just on the right massively high level of awesome that I am. And trust me it took some looking. Ladies and Gentleman, and children off all ages I give to you the new girlfriend of awesome! Chelsea!”
The crowd boo ass the ‘confident’ young women struts down the ramp in high heels, expensive jewelry and a tight but classy little black dress. She enters the ring as the commentators react to her, Lawler mostly and then strides over to the Miz who loosely places a hand under her chin, brings her in and embraces her in a kiss before turning towards the camera and grinning “don’t you wish you were me? Huh? Come on admit it! I rule!” He laughs and turns back to face the camera again as Chelsea takes her places at his side, her arm over his shoulder and her body next to him.
“And now my third little thing and it’s a statement. Bryan Danielson you are nothing but an Indy sensation that has done nothing but get lucky around here and weasel your way to the WWF title. At Survivor Series there will be no more excuses, no more back up, no more drawn out title reign for a loser like you. I helped you keep that belt because you couldn’t do it alone and now I am going to be the one to take it from you. Because I am the Miz and you know the rest….I’m simply…Awesome!”
Miz smiles at us as Chelsea stands at his side, basking in his own glow as we fade to commercial.
Then it’s a tag team match as LAX down Harlem Heat in a good tag bout.
Next Ken Shamrock defeats Road Dogg in less than 8 seconds via submission. After the match as he goes to leave In usual no nonsense style, his undefeated streak intact, Randy Savage appears on the ramp and as they meat he tells him “We need to talk.”
We are now backstage in the corridors as Gene Okerlund has cornered Awesome Kong.
“Kong! Kong!” He runs up to her “I know you don’t like speaking out but the public wants to know what you intend to do after the defeat you suffered at the hands of Kendra at No Mercy?”
He pushes the microphone to her mouth and she looks at it with a growl for a moment then back up at him and looks like she may speak when in the distance her eye catches something…or someone. He charges with a roar of rage, pushing Gene backwards, he calls out and falls into the camera man who is just able to turn the camera and follow Kong as she charges for her target. At the end of the corridor now we can see Kendra and Daffney who obviously made the mistake of emerging from the Order’s boiler room lair. Daffney screams loudly and dives out the way as Kendra stands her ground and Kong smashes into her. The two look horns like two rhinos, pushing each other hard back into the plaster walls cracking them and then exploding in a flurry of punches. The camera man has now run up and is following this as the two continued to go at it, locking horns again Kendra throws ong hard into a wall. A backstage hand all the while is calling for help and yelling “Oh my God! Oh my God! Another female intern screaming and running for her life. Kong comes back grabbing Kendra and throwing her into the opposite wall, the camera man trying to catch all of it and yet not get too close. They both then grab each other and hurl each other back crashing through the wall and falling into the dark room next door! Plaster smoke fills the corridor and we can see barely anything but we can hear commotion, yelling, cursing as others arrive on scene.
“Jesus Christ!” The camera man says to himself as he comes around and looks into the whole in the wall, seeing two bodies laying under plaster and spluttering from the debris. EMT’s and security now rush onto the scene as we cut back to the announce table ringside.
“I think the camera man said it all….” JR shakes his head “I tell ya. Those two monstrous women hate each other and it’s exploded into a volatile situation here.
“Yeah and it becoming dangerous for everyone. Someone should get them under control and fast!” Responds King.
“Well I guess Kendra won’t be out here later with the Order for the Survivor Series team announcement” JR says and then straightens “anyway folks we have much more for ya and the show must go on as always.”
Next the Motor City Machine guns defeated the returning Hazard & Dynamite Kid in a good, fast paced tag team match.
We now cut to the desk of Karl Dutton and he speaks.
“Hello everyone, I just want to make an announcement and that is that due to what has happened here tonight and the fact they need to settle this. At Survivor Series Kendra will defend her Women’s Championship against Awesome Kong! Then we will truly decide who is stronger of the two. Now in relation to the situation regarding ownership…”
He cuts off as the lights go out, in the background someone calls out in fear but then they come back on moments later. Dutton is frowning and looking around, he looks all around the room and then as he eyes scan his desk he spots something. The camera zooms down as he reaches and picks up and piece of paper that wasn’t there before.
“What is it?” Asks a producer in the background.
“It’s from him” Dutton sighs “nothing important. His usual crap and…a match he has added to the Survivor Series card.”
“What’s that?”
Dutton looks confused and surprised, nodding but still frowning in confusing finally saying as he looks at the paper “what is he up to?” He then notices the others and comes out of it, looking up and saying “alright that’s enough, cut it!” The screen fades as ordered back to the arena.
“Folks it’s all happening tonight” JR’s comes over voiceover as we pan the crowd “we are cutting now to…apparently there is a situation in the locker room area.”
We cut to the corridor as the camera comes around and peers through the door again as we hear and then see AJ Styles and HBK shouting at each other.
“…I wasn’t at a monitor AJ! I was getting ready for my match; I was in the main event remember? I didn’t know what happened to you until I game to Gorilla and you were being wheeled out. If I had known…”
“Well you are usually at the position long before that Shawn! I know you watch the show as it happens! That’s you! Especially in a match you have personal interest in.”
“AJ…”
“Why don’t you just tell the truth Shawn? You saw what happened and you didn’t come out to save me because you cared more about saving your energy for your title match with Danielson. No I have to decide if that’s because you’re a lying selfish prick or because he got to you. Either way it’s not good for our team here” with that he turns to storms out, HBK trying to call after him put yelling back “that’s it Shawn! Leave it!” We then fade back to the ring again.
Its then out main event match as Kurt Angle has a heated, challenging back and forth contest with Ken Anderson. He manages to get the win as he makes Anderson tap to the Ankle lock. He looks focused as he celebrates the win and heads to the back to watch the final segment himself.
When we return from break the lights cut out to a buzz from anticipating crowd…
*Play Undertaker/OOD*
The Order lead their way on mass and escort their master to the ring where Daffney hands him a microphone as he steps amongst them all.
“You did well in responding in my absence earlier Mankind. As such and as my most trusted right hand you will be the first person on the Survivor Series team to gain us control of this rotten hole” Taker speaks.
Mankind bows and steps beside him as Undertaker continues to walk down the line, stopping at Gabriel and Samoa Joe.
“You two are monsters, the raw power we need to bulldoze through those fools. Take your places” both men bow and walk over to stand next to Mankind.
“And finally” Taker narrows his eyes as he passes the group, Edge and Christian looking confused at first but show obvious confidence they will be chosen. Taker however passes them to their shock and confusion and stops at the X Division Champion.
“You have done well in representing us with that title Darkside of Hayabusa. Join the team.”
Hayabusa gives an oriental hands together bow and walks over to join the rest of the team. Undertaker turns with a stride towards them.
“You are the team…” he begins but is cut off by Edge and Christian who get his attention and begin loudly asking why they are the only males not chosen “you two…are you questioning my orders?” Taker narrows his eyes at them.
They both gulp and step back, saying back off mic “no sir!”
“Good, I didn’t think so. Now the reason you are both not on the team is because you will be defending your tag team championships” he looks over at Daffney and Kendra “it’s time.”
With that they both nod, Daffney grinning and them head to the back as all look on in confusion.
“Now Brood we cannot have men continuing to disrespect us and be able to continue doing so. At No Mercy you had the chance to be rid of the Hart Dynasty once and for all. But did you? No! You settled merely be beating them in a match. I think I have taught you both better than that! Now the LAX and MCMG are involved and you allowed them to become involved last week and again they walked away and even were able to the wrestle tonight. You are both becoming weak and as punishment, as a chance to prove yourselves to me you will defend your championships against all three men in a match you made famous” Edge and Christians worry turns to broad grins “tables, ladders and chairs! Do not fail me.”
“We won’t” they both repeat and bow over again, happy about the match type but conflicted on the challenge they have been given.
“Now” Taker turns back the crowd “now you will all get a lesson in strength and being merciless. The only way we will win this war is if we show no comprise. Bring them!”
He turns back to the ramp as Daffney and Kendra remerge dragging the terrified, kicking and screaming Velvet Sky and Angelina Love to the ring.
“Oh my God…” JR lets out as they are dragged down the ramp.
“Someone get out here! What are they doing?” King adds in dread.
Finally they are brought up the steps and thrown onto their knees in the ring before the sadistic smiling Phenom. He looks down at them with unwavering eyes as he speaks.
“Do not be afraid child” he leans in on Velvet and picks her up gently “it will all be over soon.”
With that he snaps his hands up and grabs both women around the neck, lifting them up with a sadistic clenched grin of enjoyment.
“These two represent everything we stand again. Decadence, corruption, perversions of the rules to get what they want. Being nothing but whores to climb the ladder around here! And you will be made an example of.”
In the background we can see the Order laughing at this, Mankind loudly as he stands behind his Master in pure glee.
*PLAY HBK*
The crowd roar as team WWF emerge on the ramp.
“Stop it! Stop it right now Deadman! Let them go!” Shawn demands into a microphone.
“Make me” he taunts back with a smile.
“Alright then…last week I wasn’t in shape to fight ya and we were still outnumbered. This week I’m feeling a whole lot better. Time for you meet the resistance…”
“Yeah” adds Bret with a mic of his own “in other words you evil bastard. Get the hell out of out ring!”
With that the crowd explodes as all five men shoot off, sprinting down the ramp and into the ring.
“Here we go!” Yells King over the noise “the war is on.”
The noise gets louder as finally they enter the ring, Taker dropping the women and bam! With fist and feet flying the two forces slam into each other. The crowd delight continues for a moment as we see team WWF getting the advantage, fighting off the Order even with the man advantage. Joe and Gabriel now drop out the ring as now some more of the locker pour out, showing what was being said earlier as they arrive to hell but are driven back by the two monsters. However back in the ring they have left their group without aid. Taker drops back out of the ring and the others are too busy to go after him, the massive brawl continuing. AJ nails Mankind with a Pele kick sending him out of the ring. Liger jumps from the top rope down onto Gabriel and Joe on the floor taking them out for a moment. Hayabusa and The Brood continue battling in the ring but they are now outnumbered. Bret drops out of the ring to attack the rising beats with Liger. Kurt nails Hayabusa with an Angle slam and follows him out the ring to continue the beating. HBK and AJ work together like a true team hitting tandem offense, double drop kick, double suplex, double fist driving into the head of Edge. Shawn now waits for Christian to rise as AJ fights Edge back more as he gets up on the other side of the ring them turns as Shawn explodes out the corner with the super kick but Christian ducks out the way leaving Shawn going towards the turning AJ and stops as AJ’s eyes meet the just halted kick. Both men have a slow in time moment, AJ narrowing his eyes and Shawn swallowing as both men look into eyes others eyes, evident on what AJ thinks may have just happened when bam! It cost them as the Undertaker catches them and drives them both down with a double chokeslam. As the other WWF team members race to regroup in the ring the order retreats and regroups themselves up the ramp. As they back up the ram Taker looks back into the eyes of HBK and AJ as they get up. Shawn goes in to help AJ up but Styles pushes him off in anger, both men exploding in an argument as the others try and get between them. The camera then shows Taker grinning at this as the show fades to black.
*Play Intro*
*Play Company*
-We open Raw after the usual intro package with the Company making their way to the ring. Bryan Danielson is being helped by Cornette and has badinages over his ribs and right arm, as well as large patch of stitches covering his forehead. He looks sore as he enters the ring with help “and rightfully so” comments JR. Jim Cornette now has a mic as the company disperse around the ring, the Miz and MVP not even looking at each other and going to opposite side of the ring, Miz with an even cockier swagger than usual.
“The company has come out here to address several issues” Cornette begins “the first of which is the status of the World Wrestling Federation Champion. His status is simply the fact that after the barbaric brutal match, probably the worst ever, he survived and beat Shawn Michaels without any help in the middle of this ring! That is all you need to know and know that he will make a full recovery from his extensive injuries. Now on to the other events of last night. MVP and Miz have sat down with myself and Sherri today and we sorted out the details and the problems between them and came to the agreement that what is done is done and Miz was acting in the best interests of the company. Right?” He looks over at Miz who nods and yells back “yeah!”
“Right?” Cornette over to agitated MVP.
MVP does not answer, turning away with a face like thunder until Sherri comes over and says something to him and he turns and reluctantly nods.
“Good. Now…on to the fact that by winning last night’s match the Miz now has a title match at Survivor Series against our retaining and long reigning Champion Bryan Danielson…”
Cornette is cut off as Bryan takes the mic and speaks into it, his voice weak “well that’s sorted right now because Miz is going to give that shot up or postpone it.”
“Postpone it?” Miz yells off mic and then demands one before responding “what the hell are you talking about. I ain’t doing that!”
Cornette come sin now trying to talk “sense” into him, to which Miz yells back a few things and then Bryan talks again.
“Now in regards to a replacement challenger…”Danielson begins.
“Hey Minnie champ!” Miz cuts him off, Bryan turns with raised eyebrows “yeah you who looks about as much a heavyweight as Rey Mysterio! I don’t know if all that blood from last night has clotted in your ears but clear it and listen up. I ain’t giving up my title match!”
With that the two steps forward and begin loud words and gestures, the other Company members stepping forward and getting involved or trying to calm them down.
*Play Joe return*
The suddenly piece of music plays and the lighting grows dim as all heads turn to the ramp. The music then fades into that of Samoa Joe’s! The crowd reacts with surprise and wonder as Joe steps through the curtain with blackened eyes and new red and black long trunks. He looks fierce as he storms down the ramp and into the ring.
“We haven’t seen Joe since Summerslam!” Calls JR.
Joe steps through the ropes and up to the confused Company. The company then relax, Cornette and Sherri bursting into grins and Cornette opening his arms and saying “Welcome back.”
Joe smiles back to them all and greats them, all seems well…and then the smile fades into that of snarl. Cornette’s eyes grow wide, the rest of the Companies also as Sherri and others back off from him. Joe then launches forwards and beginning hammering into Wade, and then Ecktor and then MVP taking them all down. The numbers seem to be too much however as the others go in for him but then the lights cut out.
*Play Undertaker*
As the break in the music hits the Order of Darkness burst from out the curtain and run on mass to the ring, the Undertaker and Daffney emerging behind them and walking slowly side by side down the ramp as the others slide into the ring. They run forward and begin hammering into the Company backing up Samoa Joe!
“My God! I have the idea when we heard Joe’s intro music but its official! Samoa Joe is now part of the Order of Darkness and it seems that for his old friends in the Company their time has come!”JR yells over the chaos and crowd noise.
The beat down continues as the Undertaker finally walks up the ring steps and causally steps into the ring with Daffney following. As he reaches the centre of the ring among the battle he calls out getting of his minions attention and then points to the Miz and Danielson yelling “leave him and him! Dispose of the others!”
With that the Order has their orders and begins hammering into the others, breaking into two groups; one to attack the majority of the Company and the others to keep Danielson and Miz from escaping. They brawl them to the outside now, Joe casing Cornette and Sherri off as “no threat” and then turns back to help with the others. Wade Barret is then set up on the Spanish announce table, Hayabusa climbs the top rope and flies off and down with the Phoenix Splash taking Wade through the table and out. Meanwhile Foley has pulled back the mats and grabbing Ecktor proceeds with Kendra’s help to spike piledriver him headfirst onto the concrete floor. They all gather now around MVP and set him up, Christian holding his head up to the ring post as Edge now has a chair. Edge reels back as JR catches on and yells “No!” In vein. Edge targets, reels back and smashes the chair into the side of MVP’s skull sandwiching it between it and the ring post with a loud crack that makes all at ringside wince.
As the attack ends and all the other Company lie out cold on the floor the Order regroups in the ring, several of them grabbing Miz and Danielson who are pleading for their lives and bring them to their knees before the Undertaker as Daffney hands him a microphone.
“Like I said Company you’re time has come” he looks around with a sick smile then looks down into the lenses of a ringside camera “are you all understanding yet the words I have spoken? Are the words in my entrance music sinking in yet? Samoa Joe is the latest, but as you know not the first. I find those with darkness within them, I bring it to the surface and then dispose of any without that potential. I have done this with your heroes; I have done this with ever other member of the decedent groups from which I have picked my army. But that is just the beginning. But! Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here, hello boys” he walks forward now with an evil smile, crouching down to the look the kneeled Miz and Bryan in the eyes and looks between them as he speaks “the only reason you are both still able bodied…well” he looks at Danielson and his scars from last night “mostly. Why I didn’t put the nail in the coffin for one and cripple the other is because of your title match. I have stock in this company and whether I like it or not your title match will line my pockets and allow me to use that money to further my goals, for that reason and the fact that nothing would please me more than for you two decedent fools to destroy each other for my title.”
He smiles again as Danielson looks at him confused for a moment then with a single sharp movement snaps his hand up to grab him around the throat “yes! My title! One of many things you took from me this year that set what you see before you in motion, set me on this path. I may have let you under the radar but I do not forgive and I do not forget. But perhaps I should be thanking you. You opened your eyes, liberated me from my limited mind set and allowed all of this to happen. But make no mistake…” he clenches Bryan’s throat causing the already injured man to gasp for air and struggle in Gabriel and Joe’s grip “you are only champion because I have allowed you to be. Make no mistake boy, when I want that title I will take it. But for now” he rises up and throws Bryan back “I will let you both go, let you have your title match at Survivor Series. But whoever wins…well their celebrations may not last very long at all after that night of which I have so much planned. Release them!” He orders.
With that they do as he commands, stepping back and allowing Miz and Bryan to flee up the ramp as fast as their feet can take them, Taker even throwing Bryan his belt.
“Now…” Taker begins to walk towards facing hard camera “onto important business. I promised that tonight I would give answers and then I would begin my end game of my plans. And so I shall.”
The crowd come alive and Taker turns now as Karl Dutton walks out onto the ramp to watch and listen.
“Ah” Taker smiles “glad you could join us. Do you like my new slave of darkness Dutton?” He gestures to a seething Joe “as you can see he reveals in the darkness I have released within him. But…answers is why you are here and that is what you will get. You see what you have all seen other the past several months has been the blunt, frontal assault part of my plans. You have seen as I have gained strength through crude muscle and raw power, how I have wiped out all the pawns from the board until only the king and few useless fools remain. But that was only what you saw. I am not an invalid, I know that many have tried and failed to seize power in this business before through the same methods you have seen me employee. But unlike those fools I was also working behind the scenes on the more cerebral and effective part of my plan. You have all seen since July how I have had power to make policy here in the World Wrestling Federation, to make matching and to redefine titles. Matches were even changed to no disqualification for no rhyme or reason and no explanation. Well I assure you I had a reason for all of them. While you and all your pawns have been looking behind you and trying to mount a defensive against my frontal assault I have been using my considerable wealth I have earned in my career headlining these events to buy stock in this company. One by one I offered the holders far more than the stocks were worth and as a publicly traded company you can see how it is only a matter of money to gain political favor. As of last week Dutton I now own almost 50% stock in this company making you no longer the majority shareholder and me with as much power as you have. But to gain such a stock I needed to seller to get me started, a man who has enough stock to sell me to gain favor from the start back in July. That man provided my base and the irony of who it is I am sure will not be lost on you Dutton…”
*Play Shane Mcmahon*
The crowd reacts loudly as Shane Mcmahon walks out on stage, walking past the open mouth Dutton with a smile and heading down to the ring. As he enters it in usual Mcmahon manor and up to Taker shaking his hand.
“Can you see the puzzle falling into place yet Dutton? But wait…there is more. I made it quite clear that I don’t want to work with you Karl, I don’t want control of half. Half order is no order. I want it all, I want all of it! But I have spent most of my own funds to buy the stocks I have and I know you will not sell for any price. But that is fine, I anticipated it. You see as I have eliminated all your pawns and knights the only thing left on the board is you Karl and a few fools who would not dare challenge me. You are all alone to be bent to my will. From this point forward Dutton you will not be able to have an interview, a segment or a match without me and my forces destroying it! And you cannot fire or punish any of them because I have as much power here as you do! The only exception is perhaps the World title match between those fools who just left because I do need a payback on my investment.”
“What do you want?” Karl finally raises a mic and speaks solemnly.
“You know what I want Dutton. This Company, all of it! I was there last year and at Wrestlemania Dutton, I know you can be gambling man. I even fought on your side this time last year to drive off this man’s farther” he points to Shane “so do the same with me. I will put my stock on the line; you put yours on the line in a match. And in the sense of tradition let’s make it a 5 on 5 elimination tag team Survivor Series match! Just like last year. But the difference will be three things: One I will not be your puppet this time, two you have no pawns left on the board thanks to the muscle part of my tactics to make a decent team to combat us and as a result of all that and more; You will not win! What do you saw Karl?”
Dutton lowers in head in thought for a moment with no answer. That prompts Shane to get a microphone now.
“Hey! Take our offer or leave it moron! You took my father’s company and I would rather it be in the hand of me and this man rather than in yours! I mean…look at the damage you have done already over the last year. My Farther would have never stood for this! He would have fired Taker when he had the chance! So what do you say idiot? Take it or leave it!”
Finally Karl stops thinking, looks up and speaks “and if I don’t?”
“Then you better not have any matches booked tonight” Taker grins “because none will happen I assure you of that!”
Karl curses and then finally raises his head and meekly speaks “I agree…”
“What?” Shane asks.
“I agree dam it!” He yells emphatically now.
Taker and Shane break into broad grins as the dejected and upset Dutton walks backstage.
“Then I will have the office pawns draw up a contract! The Undertaker VS Karl Dutton Survivor Series match, whichever representative’s team wins get 100% Stock of this company!”
As Shane speaks he hasn’t noticed the others backing away into a ready stance now. Slowly with a frown he turns to face them, each smiling at him like prey. Taker now lifts the microphone.
“Sorry Shane, but I worked with you before and it’s a mistake I will never make again. I have always had one rule since this time; never work with a Mcmahon! And now you have publicly sold to me and shown up here to confirm it to him…you are no longer useful to me!”
Shane barely has time to react as the Order rush forward and on mass and begin beating the hell out of him as Taker looks on with an evil expressive smile and chuckle, Daffney at his side. Finally as the pact parts Taker points to Joe and gives him to the go ahead to finish it as his final initiation. He does so proudly picking up Mcmahon, placing him on the top rope and smashing Shane down with a muscle buster and leaving him lifeless again.
“Samoa Joe is once again a dark monster and serves me! The Company faction is no more! I am co owner of this company and Dutton has agreed to this Survivor Series match in which he has no pawns left to make a strong enough team to oppose me” Taker grins “I told you that you didn’t want to miss the show tonight!”
With that the Orders music hits and they stand around the battered body of Shane, the other Company bodies still lying at ringside as we zoom in on the out cold Shane and fade to a break.
-When we return we are told that on Dutton’s orders things will try and proceed as normal.
As such we get out first match as the Motor City Machine Guns defeated the Steiner in a heated Tag Team bout.
-We then cut too backstage where Gene Okerlund is ushering a camera to follow him towards Dutton’s office. As they reach the door he knocks and pushes it open.
“Yes?” Karl looks up from his glasses and legal papers in front of him to see Gene and the camera man entering “Gene…this really isn’t a good time.”
“I know boss I just wanted to see if you had any comments on what the Undertaker revealed tonight?”
“Well it’s obvious that he planned this out piece by piece very well like a chess game as he says but…” Karl starts but is interrupted by his phone going off and answers it “excuse me.”
He answers and listens as Okerlund and camera look on. We see as he face suddenly turns from a frown to confusion and almost brightening up.
“What...I mean how?” He asks with confusion and listens to voice at the other end “you are sure? And you can get here tonight to show and say all this?.... Yeah I know but how did you get….wow! And you’re ok? After…yeah well just get here right away and we will show that bastard. Huh? Oh I have someone in mind. Yeah, right, that’s great. See ya!”
Dutton puts the phone down, his face now bright with a hope and a bewildered smile.
“Mr. Dutton?” Okerlund asks.
“I…well I just have a message for the Undertaker if I may” he looks at the camera.
“Oh course” Okerlund nods.
“Taker if you watching this, and I know you are, listen up; Meet me in the ring at the end of the night and I will have a few surprises of my own for you!”
“What? Can you tell us anymore?” Gene asks.
“I have said enough already, now please…I have a lot to do before then.”
“Oh course. Thank you” Okerlund nods as the camera drops and we fade back to the arena.
-Next Dolph Ziggler took on and was defeated by Ken Shamrock in a singles match.
-We are now backstage as Gene Okerlund has now reached what was the Companies locker room.
“Hello?” He asks as pushes the door open to see Cornette, Sherri and Danielson standing in there “can I get a comment?”
Danielson is sitting on the sofa tending to his reinjured wounds from last night and the aggravation caused by tonight’s brawl.
“Yeah you can get a comment! **** Off!” Cornette yells and aggressively pushes Okerlund and the camera man out and slams the door shut hard.
“Well I…hope the censors caught that. Apologizes for Mr. Cornette’s…” he stops as he sees someone off screen and yells “Miz! Miz!”
Okerlund begins to run now, the camera turning and following up to the Miz who was walking at the end of the corridor.
“I was wondering if you had any comments as to what happened out there earlier tonight?”
“Only this…the Undertaker got lucky this time! He had more men and he surprised us by having Samoa Joe betray us! But not anymore! The Miz is no longer with those losers and is going to do what I do best and that’s look out for myself. What I am going to do is concentrate and training myself to win my title match, worry only about that and Survivor Series and deal with all this other crap I got pulled into thanks to them later!” Miz rants.
“Well with all due respect, you did help the Company screw the Undertaker in May…”
“Ah dada!” Miz cuts him off with a hand gesture “what I did I did as a pack but now this Miz is going it alone. And I will do far better on my own. You are looking at the next WWF Champion Gene and you know why? Because I’m the Miz and I’m awesome!”
-Next it’s a tag team match as Ken Anderson teams with the returning Dynamite Kid to take on Randy Savage and KENTA. The later face team gets the win following a GTS followed by a Elbow drop on Anderson. The feud between the two now includes others and continues to boil in the post match facials of all.
-It is then the women’s time as Kong demolished Angelina Love and Velvet Sky in a two on one handicap match, Kong taking out all her anger and frustration from last night out on the two. After winning the match she looks straight into the hard camera, points and then cuts her throat as an obviously message to the OOD’s monster female.
-And in the main event of the evening The Brood retained their Tag Team Championships for a second night in a row via DQ against LAX when MCMG came out and accidently caused the DQ. After the match LAX were understandably enraged and brawl broke out between the two teams. As Edge and Christian looked on at this the Hart Dynasty attacked from behind and the two brawls soon bleed into each other, the 4 teams fighting for everything they have until security and refs arrive and manage to pull them all apart. They all escorted to the back with the exception of E & C who are about to be when the Undertaker appears on the ramp and tells the security to let his men free. We then go to break as the music kicks in the Order of Darkness begin to make their way again down to the ring on mass.
-When we return from break the Order are in the ring awaiting Dutton.
*Play Karl*
Karl comes out looking far more confident than earlier, striding down to the ring and getting a microphone of his own, as Taker already has one.
“Ok let’s get down to business. What do you want Dutton?” Taker asks.
“Well…I was thinking about our agreed Survivor Series match, the one we agreed on earlier where the winning mans team win him full ownership of this Federation.”
“The contract is being drawn up for you to sign and it would be very unwise for you to back out. For your health and than of your ‘independent contractors’.”
“Oh I don’t intend to. I just want to announce my team for Survivor Series…”
Taker rumbles with laugher “who do you have left that I haven’t destroyed, or who already have business at the Pay Per View.”
“Well for that I will turn over to a friend of mine to answer Taker. You may know him…”
*Play HBK*
The crowd comes alive as beaten, battered and stitched up as he may be HBK Shawn Michaels stumbles out of the curtain and onto the ram with a weak smile.
“Hey Deadman” he speaks in a mic, his voice showing a bit of his evident pain “I bet you didn’t expect me to show up tonight after last night huh?”
The Order looks on with shock, looking to their master who wears a scowl.
“But if Bryan can make it here tonight for you to threaten then so can I but it’s me who will be doing the threatening!” The crowd pop for that one “see Taker I wasn’t planning on being here tonight. Because as I lay in my hospital bed last night, ready to storm out when I was discharged this morning right here and show you that neither a match like that or your cowardly attack that ‘finished me’ will keep HBK down! That is when I got a phone call. It was from a person who frankly I thought would be the last guy to call me. But what he said shocked me even more. You see he said that he has been working with two other men behind the scenes to form an alliance to return and take you down! He then offered me…when I was better, a place as the fourth member and co team Captain of that group with them. I met with them today and we were at our first face to face meeting to discuss tactics when we saw what you said and did earlier. And naturally as Karl now needs a team we thought there is no time like the present to reveal ourselves to you as that team! Or at least most of it. Now I may not be in the shape for a fight tonight and may need to rest up to be well enough to be on that team in three weeks but trust me Taker I will be there and I will be a hundred and ten percent. But as for now allow me to introduce a man who has had time to heel his wounds your caused! The man who put this together and frankly a man I never thought I would work with. Ladies and Gentleman and present evil minions allow me to introduce the co team Captain of Dutton’s Survivor Series team!”
*Play Bret Hart*
The place goes nuts as Bret Hart emerges through the curtain to return to a huge ovation. He grins as he walks up and extends his hand to HBK who turns gingerly and shakes it as the crowd roars again. Taker looking on with aggravation now as HBK hands Bret the mic.
“Hey! Bet you didn’t expect to see me any time soon did you boys? Taker? Well allow me to add to that and burst your bubble a little further by introducing the next man on our team…”
*Play AJ Styles*
The place roars huge again as the Phenomenal One emerges and shakes hands with both, taking his place in line.
“And last but not least another man who you tried to get rid of, whose career you tried to end and a man I have no love lost for but we now have common goals. What is it they say about the enemy of my enemy?”
*Play Kurt Angle*
Angle is straight faced with determination as he walks out and stands beside the others, staring down a hole into Taker and his group in the ring.
“Well that about wrapped it up for whom we brought. But as you know we have 4 and we need 5” Bret continues “and so Dutton suggested another man who has no love lost for you who apparently volunteered to him the moment he went through the curtain earlier. And we were more than happy to accept him. Everyone, our final member!”
*Play Jushin Liger*
The crowd is going nuts as the Intercontinental Champion completes the lineup, shaking hands and standing beside the others as for the first time the Order look unnerved and Taker has nothing to saw. Karl smiles and leaves the ring to go up to the ramp and greet them each, one by one shaking their hands and thanking them.
“Holy cow!” JR yells on commentary “look at this line up! This may be the greatest group of wrestlers, the greatest group of heroes ever assembled!”
“JR! We don’t agree on much but I like our chances now!” Lawler responds.
HBK now has the microphone again.
“Get ready Taker because your plans are about to fall to pot! You are looking at the resistance! And we are all here united to tell you that you may have tried to eliminate each of us from your chess game but you didn’t try hard enough! 5 on 5 Elimination match huh? Well we accept your terms on 2 conditions…otherwise we will just go back there and unite the locker room to come out and do this the old fashioned way tonight!”
“What?” Taker sneers into his mic.
“Well the first is that if your lose not only do you give up your political power and stocks in the WWF but you must also disband the Order of Darkness and let each of them get help for whatever it is you did to them!”
“Deal!” Taker cries back “what else?”
“The other is” Bret now has the mic again “that you yourself stop being such and yellow bellied pusy, look inside yourself find a bit of the man you once were and return to active wrestling duty to Captain your team yourself!” The crowd roar at the idea as Taker turns away “that’s it Deadman! We finally get chance to face you as well as your lackeys or the deal is off!”
Taker looks down for a moment, looks at his men and women and then turns back with a determined face.
“I may be the Dark Master now but I retired myself by choice so as not to dirty myself with the likes of you! But frankly after all of this I would like nothing better than to personally pummel you all myself and take Dutton’s company with my own hands! Deal!”
The crowd roars as Dutton’s team all nod.
“See you then, then Undertaker. And remember what has happened here! The resistance has begun and all of this…its time has come to an end!”
With that Bret’s music hits and the two sides stares each other down as the logo comes out and we fade to black.
Survivor Series Build Up Week 2
Raw fades in cold with the newly assembled team WWF in the ring, Bret Hart front and centre with a microphone in hand. They look around at the cheering crowd and now on the outside of the ring the camera men move back showing just about every other member of the locker room standing side by side. It looks like a strike as all the employees stand in unity despite past differences. Bret now lifts the microphone to speak.
“We stand here as one! And we stand out here like this, brothers in arms to represent the numbers that are willing to rally against you Undertaker! You love to play the numbers game, flaunt your forces numbers and use them to take us out one by one! And when we all stood apart, in cliques or by ourselves we were indeed vulnerable to that. But now we stand as one for more than our own wants and together we will make sure you can never do it again, and we will as one take you out Deadman! We will make sure that you will never be able to assault anyone here again without feeling our sting back for your actions. So we will see if you truly have the heart for a real fight won’t we? In this ring is the team that will represent the World Wrestling Federation and its legal, deserving owner at Survivor Series, the General’s of this company’s very own army! And we will not rest until you have paid for every week, day, hour you cost us!”
HBK now walks forward and takes the mic as both men nod respectfully at each other.
“And this core team will never be more so united a force than on that Sunday night Deadman! When we defend our jobs, our livelihood and this very business from evil! This company means too much to all of us, it has done too much for all of us, to allow you to consume and twist it into your own dark vision of order. When men like you get power they cause wars, suffering and horrors beyond our worst nightmares. I know you believe every word you speak, and I know that your minions have had their minds so twisted than they believe it too, and that scares me. And for that, and for everything else is why we are out here now as brothers in this industry to say no! To stand up for our company and what we believe in despite petty differences! Good will always triumph over evil and we will beat you no matter the odds at Survivor Series!”
He now lets out a calming breath as he turns, checks who wants it and then hands it to Angle in request.
“I know you people don’t like me and I still don’t care but this is about more than that! Undertaker! Your hurt me! Yeah, good one. Thing is I told myself a long time ago; I don’t give in to injuries. I get back up, train harder and then is needed find those responsible and make them pay! Yeah I may not like these men and they may not like me personally or professionally but I respect them. But what I don’t respect is men like you who cower in the shadows and use pawns to do their dirty work! You want to control us! You want to bring Order to this chaos huh? Try it! Because evil men have breakable ankles too! Oh its true, its dam true!” He stares into the camera with an unnerving stare as AJ now takes the microphone.
“I haven’t really got a whole lot to add to what my teammates said except that Taker; I made a promise that I was coming for you after what you did to me at Summerslam and no matter what you threw at me I am still here and still ready to carry out that promise. I swore I would fight all your men to get to you and at Survivor Series I get my chance. I may have to fight through four of your men in one match to do it, but I will. You agreed to be in this match and when the smoke clears and you are finally across the ring from me then we will see who is truly Phenomenal around here when I finally carry out my promise!”
The crowd roars as each man looks out at them and look more determined than ever after getting that on their chest. The men ringside nodding and in some cases clapping at the remarks. It is a feel good moment for them all when…
*Play Mankind*
The crowd boos heavily as the Undertaker’s right hand man makes his way out, flanked by Gabriel and Samoa Joe. He has a microphone of his own as he stops at the top of the ramp and speaks into it.
“You know I was just watching this backstage with my brothers and master and both he and I agreed that this” he gestures to them all “it’s the fakest most pathetic thing we have ever seen! You people make me sick with your false smiles and your lies! So you’re all friends no huh? Soon Tiger Mask will be having Jushin Liger over for dinner! The British Bulldog stands side by side with the Dynamite Kid and worst of all Bret Hart stands shoulder to shoulder with the man that raped him in the ring in Montreal and the man who just months ago tried to end his career as he tried to end his! You all speaks the words each of you want to hear, and you all stand for the cause against the evil oppressor! Since when did half of you even like Dutton or his decisions? If there is anything I hate more than a fool it’s a hypocrite! And that’s what you all are doing right now. The Dark Lord was right about all of you. You speak as though he has brainwashed us but he did nothing of the sort. Oh, he awakening the part of us we love the most and let us thrive in it! All he did to make us hate you was open our eyes to the political, scheming BS that fills the heart of every man in and around that ring. You don’t care about beating us, you can barely tolerate pretending to have the friends you have without pushing it to your outright enemies. But you have. And for what? Because you are all worried about your jobs, you worry what will happen to the expensive lifestyles you lead if the Undertaker as the new owner terminates your contract. How will the kids get into that private school without that 6 figure income hmm? As I said, you make me sick!”
“We are not the ones pretending here Mick” Shawn speaks up now “You used to love this company, the man you were and can be again would be doing exactly what we are for it despite…”
“The man I was!” Mankind shrieks to cut him off “I was a fat, sell out loser who cared more about selling books than I did about any just cause! Don’t you of all people Shawn! Don’t you dare talk to me about being a man of honor! You are the worst pretending, the worst hypocrite of all! You claim to be the pure Christian but I ask what pure Christian takes a shard of glass and slices it into a man’s head! Where your love and forgiveness was your good books teaches then huh? The Undertaker, our Master made me again the man that took the great Shawn Michaels to a limit not even he could beat at Mind Games 1996. He made me my true self again and I would rather die than give that up again…” he fades off and then after a moment of pacing the stage begins to chuckle as all look on confused and perhaps more than a little unnerved “but all of this is pointless. You think that he didn’t know your injuries would heal in time for this event? You think he actually didn’t think that you may all come back asking for more, he hoped not but he knew it was a possibility. What if I said that he knew about your little group all along and that already as it was with each of the ‘factions’ he has sleeper agent within your Survivor Series team? How easy would it then to lure you in and then strike when the moment is right? Say that they have already been changed but acts and speaks as one of you to gain your trust so he can stab you in your back!”
“I’d say Taker has to do better than that to defeat our confidence. He wants to beat us then he better fight us, we won’t be beat by head games!” Bret retorts.
“Hmm really? Believe what you want because it will make it all the easier come Survivor Series to beat you. Later tonight the Dark Lord will choose the men that will face you and I hope will all my soul that I am on that team, because when the final victory comes and you all lay and stand around in mournful defeat I will cherish the look in your eyes and you will ask yourselves why you didn’t listen to the fair chance he is offering you to make it a fair fight. Have a nice day!”
With that Mankind’s music hits and he grins broadly at them as they all look on as he as he turns, leaving and taking the two beats with him, they all break into a heated discussion in the ring as we fade to commercial.
When we return from break a camera crew, as told by JR, have caught up with team WWF backstage. The camera man moves slowly now around the hall, we can hear voices yelling as he pries the door open and films into it unnoticed.
“…It all head games Kurt!” Bret shouts cutting Angle off in mid tirade “there is no traitor. You saw the look on his face last week! He didn’t know about us. He just wants us to do this so we don’t trust each other while his men are ready to die for him! Under those conditions they will beat us!”
“We have to stick together! It’s all BS Kurt!” Shawn nods in agreement.
All look at each other for a moment until from the far bench Liger speaks up in Japanese. His word gibberish to most.
“What?” Shawn calls over as they all turn to look at the seated Senti based grappler.
“Where’s that translator when you need him?” AJ curses and walks off towards the other door.
“Last saw him at the hotel” Bret calls after him “think he might be in the other dressing room!”
The chatter continues until finally AJ returns with the man in question.
“Right say what you said again” AJ gestures towards the translator.
Liger repeats in and the translator replies “hi!” in response then turns to the others.
“He says perhaps that is what he wants to think. Perhaps ignoring Mankind’s words is the wrong thing to do.”
“You only had them translated for you by Dusty. Trust me something is lost in translation. He is bullshitting!” Shawn replies and the translator translates it and Liger responds again.
“Perhaps” the translator replies for him.
“Well I have a match tonight so I have enough of this, I need to get ready” Kurt holds his hands up leaves the room followed by Bret, Shawn and AJ.
Liger calls out.
“He asks you to wait” the translator tells him.
Liger speaks a long string of words and the Translator swallows before turning slowly towards the frowning AJ and relates it.
“He says that perhaps if there is a traitor it is the last man we would think of but the one we should. After all he helped one man try and take this company.”
“Shawn is my friend! He is the best man I know and he has changed since then! I know him, he wouldn’t be turned for any price!” AJ responds passionately.
Liger gets the response and then again responds himself.
“He says that is why it is so easy for Undertaker to fool us. We know from that that Shawn has darkness in his heart, we saw it at No Mercy how much that darkness can consume him. He is not pure…”
Liger continues and then so does the interpreter.
“He says he is only trying to make sure we are not betrayed and lose in two weeks, too much is at stake.”
Again more unrecognizable words.
“He says he knows you made a pact with Shawn and your other friends to protect each other. He then asks you to recall the night you were attacked and while your other friend the Machine Guns came to help…he asks where Shawn was that night? Why did he not come and save you?”
AJ does not respond but merely swallows and turns to look straight at Liger for a few moments as the masked man looks back at him and speaks again.
“He did not want to say this” the translator relays “but he cares to much for your cause to not say what he sees and thinks.”
AJ again does not respond and after a few more moments of silence sighs, turns and leaves. The camera zooms in on Liger as he too sighs and lowers his masked head into his hands, running them through his hair as we fade back to the arena.
It is then time for our first match of the night as KENTA hits the GTS to pin Kaz.
We then cut to the announce table.
“Well folks we have an announcement straight hot off the press from the boss’s office” JR begins.
“Half owner JR” Lawler corrects him.
JR looks annoyed and continues “apparently both Randy Savage and Ken Anderson have been to his office today demanding a rematch with each other of some kind and he has come up with a good one to answer their request.
“Yeah” Lawler adds “he has told both men that they will captain the other Survivor Series 5 on 5 Elimination match this year.”
“He has told both men” continues Ross “to go and choose their own team. The deadline for all four men is the end of Raw next week. Of course we will bring any updates on this as it becomes available. Stay tuned here, next week and on wwfwrestling.com for continued coverage.”
Both men as then cut off as we cut back to the entrance way and…
*Play The Miz*
The Miz swaggers out in a full suit to loud boos. He merely grins as them as only he can and struts his way into the ring and casually taking an offered microphone.
The crowd don’t give him chance to speak as they boo.
“I have asked for this time, it’s my time so shut up and listen” Miz tells them calmly which gets louder boos back “I have an announcement…or two…or three…no two. Ah who can keep it all straight? Fact is the longer I talk the longer the ratings spike. Now…on to my first announcement and that is that as of Friday last week at midnight Eastern Time I am officially no longer contracted to that dead horse group the Company. Instead I am branching out on my own and I feel freer than I have in months! Fact is those idiots were ridding my coat tails and keeping me down. Their bumbling cost me my X Division Championship and kept me from becoming Intercontinental Champion! But that’s alright…because I went into business for myself, tossed all those peons, including my ‘fellow employee’ MVP over the top rope, how’s the head by the way Montel? And became the number one contender for the World Wrestling Federation Championship! You see for me it may be one step back but I then take five giant steps forward, oh yeah and I did it all by myself. Now I may not be able to hide behind others, I may not be able to barely beat Mankind and Shawn Michaels… finally! I might add. But I don’t need any briefcase to win the big one. I am going to do it all on my own without any riding my coattails and keeping me down” he lets out a sigh and raising his head “you smell that? Smells like a new champion is about to crowned. No? Well it must be you people then!” He grins as they boo him and losely handedly brings the mike to his mouth again. “Now onto the important stuff. You see after I disbanded from the company and people started taking notice of me I stated getting more female attention if you know what I mean. But I am not a man whore like Bryan who would sleep with any 2 dollar piece of ass that happens to get past the fact he is almost a midget. In more places than one too if you know what the mean” he smiles as the crowd respond “hey I teamed with the guy for months, I’d know. Wow I would kill myself if it were me…anyway. No I am not like that, I instead found the perfect women who is just on the right massively high level of awesome that I am. And trust me it took some looking. Ladies and Gentleman, and children off all ages I give to you the new girlfriend of awesome! Chelsea!”
The crowd boo ass the ‘confident’ young women struts down the ramp in high heels, expensive jewelry and a tight but classy little black dress. She enters the ring as the commentators react to her, Lawler mostly and then strides over to the Miz who loosely places a hand under her chin, brings her in and embraces her in a kiss before turning towards the camera and grinning “don’t you wish you were me? Huh? Come on admit it! I rule!” He laughs and turns back to face the camera again as Chelsea takes her places at his side, her arm over his shoulder and her body next to him.
“And now my third little thing and it’s a statement. Bryan Danielson you are nothing but an Indy sensation that has done nothing but get lucky around here and weasel your way to the WWF title. At Survivor Series there will be no more excuses, no more back up, no more drawn out title reign for a loser like you. I helped you keep that belt because you couldn’t do it alone and now I am going to be the one to take it from you. Because I am the Miz and you know the rest….I’m simply…Awesome!”
Miz smiles at us as Chelsea stands at his side, basking in his own glow as we fade to commercial.
Then it’s a tag team match as LAX down Harlem Heat in a good tag bout.
Next Ken Shamrock defeats Road Dogg in less than 8 seconds via submission. After the match as he goes to leave In usual no nonsense style, his undefeated streak intact, Randy Savage appears on the ramp and as they meat he tells him “We need to talk.”
We are now backstage in the corridors as Gene Okerlund has cornered Awesome Kong.
“Kong! Kong!” He runs up to her “I know you don’t like speaking out but the public wants to know what you intend to do after the defeat you suffered at the hands of Kendra at No Mercy?”
He pushes the microphone to her mouth and she looks at it with a growl for a moment then back up at him and looks like she may speak when in the distance her eye catches something…or someone. He charges with a roar of rage, pushing Gene backwards, he calls out and falls into the camera man who is just able to turn the camera and follow Kong as she charges for her target. At the end of the corridor now we can see Kendra and Daffney who obviously made the mistake of emerging from the Order’s boiler room lair. Daffney screams loudly and dives out the way as Kendra stands her ground and Kong smashes into her. The two look horns like two rhinos, pushing each other hard back into the plaster walls cracking them and then exploding in a flurry of punches. The camera man has now run up and is following this as the two continued to go at it, locking horns again Kendra throws ong hard into a wall. A backstage hand all the while is calling for help and yelling “Oh my God! Oh my God! Another female intern screaming and running for her life. Kong comes back grabbing Kendra and throwing her into the opposite wall, the camera man trying to catch all of it and yet not get too close. They both then grab each other and hurl each other back crashing through the wall and falling into the dark room next door! Plaster smoke fills the corridor and we can see barely anything but we can hear commotion, yelling, cursing as others arrive on scene.
“Jesus Christ!” The camera man says to himself as he comes around and looks into the whole in the wall, seeing two bodies laying under plaster and spluttering from the debris. EMT’s and security now rush onto the scene as we cut back to the announce table ringside.
“I think the camera man said it all….” JR shakes his head “I tell ya. Those two monstrous women hate each other and it’s exploded into a volatile situation here.
“Yeah and it becoming dangerous for everyone. Someone should get them under control and fast!” Responds King.
“Well I guess Kendra won’t be out here later with the Order for the Survivor Series team announcement” JR says and then straightens “anyway folks we have much more for ya and the show must go on as always.”
Next the Motor City Machine guns defeated the returning Hazard & Dynamite Kid in a good, fast paced tag team match.
We now cut to the desk of Karl Dutton and he speaks.
“Hello everyone, I just want to make an announcement and that is that due to what has happened here tonight and the fact they need to settle this. At Survivor Series Kendra will defend her Women’s Championship against Awesome Kong! Then we will truly decide who is stronger of the two. Now in relation to the situation regarding ownership…”
He cuts off as the lights go out, in the background someone calls out in fear but then they come back on moments later. Dutton is frowning and looking around, he looks all around the room and then as he eyes scan his desk he spots something. The camera zooms down as he reaches and picks up and piece of paper that wasn’t there before.
“What is it?” Asks a producer in the background.
“It’s from him” Dutton sighs “nothing important. His usual crap and…a match he has added to the Survivor Series card.”
“What’s that?”
Dutton looks confused and surprised, nodding but still frowning in confusing finally saying as he looks at the paper “what is he up to?” He then notices the others and comes out of it, looking up and saying “alright that’s enough, cut it!” The screen fades as ordered back to the arena.
“Folks it’s all happening tonight” JR’s comes over voiceover as we pan the crowd “we are cutting now to…apparently there is a situation in the locker room area.”
We cut to the corridor as the camera comes around and peers through the door again as we hear and then see AJ Styles and HBK shouting at each other.
“…I wasn’t at a monitor AJ! I was getting ready for my match; I was in the main event remember? I didn’t know what happened to you until I game to Gorilla and you were being wheeled out. If I had known…”
“Well you are usually at the position long before that Shawn! I know you watch the show as it happens! That’s you! Especially in a match you have personal interest in.”
“AJ…”
“Why don’t you just tell the truth Shawn? You saw what happened and you didn’t come out to save me because you cared more about saving your energy for your title match with Danielson. No I have to decide if that’s because you’re a lying selfish prick or because he got to you. Either way it’s not good for our team here” with that he turns to storms out, HBK trying to call after him put yelling back “that’s it Shawn! Leave it!” We then fade back to the ring again.
Its then out main event match as Kurt Angle has a heated, challenging back and forth contest with Ken Anderson. He manages to get the win as he makes Anderson tap to the Ankle lock. He looks focused as he celebrates the win and heads to the back to watch the final segment himself.
When we return from break the lights cut out to a buzz from anticipating crowd…
*Play Undertaker/OOD*
The Order lead their way on mass and escort their master to the ring where Daffney hands him a microphone as he steps amongst them all.
“You did well in responding in my absence earlier Mankind. As such and as my most trusted right hand you will be the first person on the Survivor Series team to gain us control of this rotten hole” Taker speaks.
Mankind bows and steps beside him as Undertaker continues to walk down the line, stopping at Gabriel and Samoa Joe.
“You two are monsters, the raw power we need to bulldoze through those fools. Take your places” both men bow and walk over to stand next to Mankind.
“And finally” Taker narrows his eyes as he passes the group, Edge and Christian looking confused at first but show obvious confidence they will be chosen. Taker however passes them to their shock and confusion and stops at the X Division Champion.
“You have done well in representing us with that title Darkside of Hayabusa. Join the team.”
Hayabusa gives an oriental hands together bow and walks over to join the rest of the team. Undertaker turns with a stride towards them.
“You are the team…” he begins but is cut off by Edge and Christian who get his attention and begin loudly asking why they are the only males not chosen “you two…are you questioning my orders?” Taker narrows his eyes at them.
They both gulp and step back, saying back off mic “no sir!”
“Good, I didn’t think so. Now the reason you are both not on the team is because you will be defending your tag team championships” he looks over at Daffney and Kendra “it’s time.”
With that they both nod, Daffney grinning and them head to the back as all look on in confusion.
“Now Brood we cannot have men continuing to disrespect us and be able to continue doing so. At No Mercy you had the chance to be rid of the Hart Dynasty once and for all. But did you? No! You settled merely be beating them in a match. I think I have taught you both better than that! Now the LAX and MCMG are involved and you allowed them to become involved last week and again they walked away and even were able to the wrestle tonight. You are both becoming weak and as punishment, as a chance to prove yourselves to me you will defend your championships against all three men in a match you made famous” Edge and Christians worry turns to broad grins “tables, ladders and chairs! Do not fail me.”
“We won’t” they both repeat and bow over again, happy about the match type but conflicted on the challenge they have been given.
“Now” Taker turns back the crowd “now you will all get a lesson in strength and being merciless. The only way we will win this war is if we show no comprise. Bring them!”
He turns back to the ramp as Daffney and Kendra remerge dragging the terrified, kicking and screaming Velvet Sky and Angelina Love to the ring.
“Oh my God…” JR lets out as they are dragged down the ramp.
“Someone get out here! What are they doing?” King adds in dread.
Finally they are brought up the steps and thrown onto their knees in the ring before the sadistic smiling Phenom. He looks down at them with unwavering eyes as he speaks.
“Do not be afraid child” he leans in on Velvet and picks her up gently “it will all be over soon.”
With that he snaps his hands up and grabs both women around the neck, lifting them up with a sadistic clenched grin of enjoyment.
“These two represent everything we stand again. Decadence, corruption, perversions of the rules to get what they want. Being nothing but whores to climb the ladder around here! And you will be made an example of.”
In the background we can see the Order laughing at this, Mankind loudly as he stands behind his Master in pure glee.
*PLAY HBK*
The crowd roar as team WWF emerge on the ramp.
“Stop it! Stop it right now Deadman! Let them go!” Shawn demands into a microphone.
“Make me” he taunts back with a smile.
“Alright then…last week I wasn’t in shape to fight ya and we were still outnumbered. This week I’m feeling a whole lot better. Time for you meet the resistance…”
“Yeah” adds Bret with a mic of his own “in other words you evil bastard. Get the hell out of out ring!”
With that the crowd explodes as all five men shoot off, sprinting down the ramp and into the ring.
“Here we go!” Yells King over the noise “the war is on.”
The noise gets louder as finally they enter the ring, Taker dropping the women and bam! With fist and feet flying the two forces slam into each other. The crowd delight continues for a moment as we see team WWF getting the advantage, fighting off the Order even with the man advantage. Joe and Gabriel now drop out the ring as now some more of the locker pour out, showing what was being said earlier as they arrive to hell but are driven back by the two monsters. However back in the ring they have left their group without aid. Taker drops back out of the ring and the others are too busy to go after him, the massive brawl continuing. AJ nails Mankind with a Pele kick sending him out of the ring. Liger jumps from the top rope down onto Gabriel and Joe on the floor taking them out for a moment. Hayabusa and The Brood continue battling in the ring but they are now outnumbered. Bret drops out of the ring to attack the rising beats with Liger. Kurt nails Hayabusa with an Angle slam and follows him out the ring to continue the beating. HBK and AJ work together like a true team hitting tandem offense, double drop kick, double suplex, double fist driving into the head of Edge. Shawn now waits for Christian to rise as AJ fights Edge back more as he gets up on the other side of the ring them turns as Shawn explodes out the corner with the super kick but Christian ducks out the way leaving Shawn going towards the turning AJ and stops as AJ’s eyes meet the just halted kick. Both men have a slow in time moment, AJ narrowing his eyes and Shawn swallowing as both men look into eyes others eyes, evident on what AJ thinks may have just happened when bam! It cost them as the Undertaker catches them and drives them both down with a double chokeslam. As the other WWF team members race to regroup in the ring the order retreats and regroups themselves up the ramp. As they back up the ram Taker looks back into the eyes of HBK and AJ as they get up. Shawn goes in to help AJ up but Styles pushes him off in anger, both men exploding in an argument as the others try and get between them. The camera then shows Taker grinning at this as the show fades to black.
