World Wrestling Federation
FOUNDATION
Build Up
Tying up loose ends
-On the night after Wrestlemania Karl Dutton makes his way to the ring with a smile and new swagger about him.
“Well hello all and welcome to the first day of the WWF completely free of Vincent Kennedy Mcmahon!” The crowd cheer in response “speaking of which I would like to address a couple of people regarding Mcmahon’s departure. Shawn Michaels and Triple H get your asses to this ring now!”
The DX music hits and both men are escorted to the ring by security. They understandably look unhappy and almost worried at what was going to come.
“Thank you security, you may leave” Karl nods to them and then turns to Hunter and Shawn “so Gentleman. You both have said some pretty harsh things this past year and your indeed were the spearheads in a campaign to have me lose my job and my company and indeed last night nearly succeeded in doing do...”
“Karl we...” H starts.
“Ahem. I am speaking Hunter and that is Mr. Dutton to you. As I was saying: on the one hand you two are multiple time world champions, great wrestlers, draws and a good business decision to keep on my roster” they nod with smiles “on the other hand you did try to screw me out of my company I rightfully brought and have made my life very difficult in my first year in office so I could very well throw you out on your asses and you Hunter would have to go crawling back to your wife begging for a job down south” the crowd cheer as they look on worried “but....the first option makes more sense and frankly as much as I hate to admit it you are two of the best ever and I can’t afford to let you go to the competition who would grab you in a heartbeat.”
Shawn and Hunter look at each other relieved.
“However” their smiles fade and they look over “don’t think that means you are getting off easy. Oh no. First of all neither of you will be eligible to qualify for the championship match at Foundation nor will you be getting one for a while. Also as of this moment I have something cooking between ourselves and our competition. It’s very hush hush at the moment but Hunter I have a job for you....”
*see Supercard*
Gabriel VS The Miz
-Later in the show the Miz would come out to as loud chorus of jeers and boos.
“Before anyone dares even shout a thing I would first like to state that I am the rightful winner of money in the bank and if there was any justice I would be World Champion at this moment having cashed it in right away after the main event last night. But I didn’t cause their isn’t. But doesn’t worry the Miz will find a way to the World title very soon and the best way around here is to get noticed. And the best way to get noticed is to beat people and look good doing it. So I am asking right now for anyone back there in that locker room, anyone at all, to come out here if they think they have even a chance in hell of beating me. I’m waiting.”
He does not have to wait long as the lights cut out, a choir plays and a ring of fire explodes on the ramp as Gabriel makes his way down to the ring.
As soon as Gabriel steps into the ring Miz holds up his hands and backs off.
“Hey no no not you! Anyone else? Anyone at all?” He tries to look past Gabriel.
Gabriel shakes his head and then launches forward but the Miz is able to bail out of the ring and start retreating up the ramp as Gabriel looks on.
-When we come back from commercial Miz is backstage and runs right into Karl Dutton who is reading a run sheet with his glasses on and walks right into him.
“Watch where you going!” Miz yells out and then as Dutton looks up and takes his glasses off Miz notices and gulps “ummm sorry, sorry Boss I...”
“Quiet a match you just had out there. Oh wait...you didn’t have one. I mean for an opponent and one showed up so...what’s the problem?”
“Are you nuts? He looks like a tattooed white haired version of the incredible Hulk! I saw all I want to see of him last night. Nobody should have to face a freak like that it’s unfair to use normal people.
“I see” Karl nods “well...thing is Miz he is on the roster and the crowd like him and I couldn’t help notice the cheer when he threw you around last night so I tell you what I am going to do. Next week it will be you against Gabriel just as it was meant to be tonight.”
“What?! No!”
“You know since I couldn’t fire DX tonight I really feel in the mood to let go of someone. You know let off some steam...”
“Alright! Yeah! Gabriel in a match! That’s awesome!”
“Great” Karl smile and slaps him on the shoulder “good look kid. Just make sure you health insurance is up to date won’t ya?”
Miz looks on and gulps as the segment fades to end.
-The next week the two make their way out and the match is set to start when as soon as bell rings Miz leaves the ring.
-Gabriel heads out after him but Miz has grabbed himself a steel chair and smashes it over the head of Gabriel. Gabriel however looks back with a snarl and swats the chair out of the stunner Miz’s hands. He then grabs him, hoists him up and precedes to powerbomb him right on the floor with a sick splat. The match is thrown out but Gabriel stands over him with a sick smile and leaves.
-A few minutes later the cameras are in the medical area where Miz is sitting with an ice pack on his neck and a Doctor working over him as he winces in pain. They both look up as there is a knock at the door and Karl enters.
“Hey there Miz. Great segment, I am sure it is going to draw huge numbers” Karl beams.
“What are you talking about? That sick son of bitch about broke my neck.”
“Yeah great TV. Speaking of which I have a space open at Foundation and I was thinking why don’t we finally have this match there on Pay Per View. What do you say?”
“I...”
“Great! Have a great match man! Remember the fans are paying for it. Heal up soon!” Karl calls as he walks off down the halls.
X-Divison
-The night after Supercard Jushin Liger’s music hits and the crowd go nuts for the Light heavyweight champion on the heels of a show steeling match with NWA’s Evan Bourne at Supercard. As Japanese translator stands by Liger translating as Jeremy Borah speaks.
“Jushin “Thunder” Liger” starts JB “an amazing victory last night topping of an amazing run you have had since Wrestlemania. As such the World Wrestling Federation is proud to announce the light heavyweight championship has evolved into the return of the world renowned X-Division champion signalling a new age for the WWF and pro wrestling. Wrestling’s future is truly in this championship believe me” he takes the shiny new belt and hands it to Liger who nods and bows with respect and happiness “Jushin Liger it is an honour to award you with the new X-Division Championship! I cannot thing of a better champion.”
At that moment Alex Shelly’s music hits and all look in confusion as he makes his way down to the ring and gets a microphone.
“Wait just a dam minuet. It’s bad enough that this company is bringing back an exploiting the X-division to replace its boring Light Heavyweight title for cosmetic reasons but saying that this old Japanese cartoon character symbolises the X-Division is a joke JB” the translator is continuing to translate for Liger at this point as Alex looks over at JB “you know JB you were there. I was part of the real X-Division and we didn’t need gimmicks and superhero costumes to carry us, we have talent and we won matches.”
“Umm will all due respect Alex Jushin did help event that style of wrestling in Japan...”
“Yeah! And in TNA we made it better! Well now I am here and I am sick of being overlooked for loser like this joke in front of me.”
Liger says something to the translator who gets on the microphone.
“Mr. Liger says prove it with your body and not your mouth. Face him in the ring and he will put his title on the line” the crowd clap and cheer in response.
“Oh? Face you? Take that title and give it at least some honour back in this stinking company? I would be delighted! You’re on Megaman!”
The crowd cheers in response as JB confirms it with the powers that be. Liger speaks to the translator again as Shelly goes to leave.
“Mr. Liger says Alex Shelly you should see one more thing.”
With that Liger runs forward, rolls and nails Shelly with the rolling wheel kick. The crowd erupt as Liger holds his hands out wide, music playing, with the new title in hand.
WWF Women’s Championship: Hamada VS Kendra VS Trish Stratus VS Sarita
Tag Team Championship
-We come back on Raw and the Dynamite Kid is standing in the ring with a microphone and Hazard behind him.
“Listen up. At the Royal Rumble I and Hazard here came to an agreement and we worked well together that night. Since then we have teamed several times and we have won several times. You see we both like to bust heads and we both like to break the idiots who dare to step in the ring against us. We are two of a kind. We don’t want money or fame. We are here to hurt people. Now that being said we also want glory and honour and reputation and the best way to get that is by being champions. Now it comes to my attention that we as a team have several victories as a team and since our new Tag Team Champions beat every other team last night we figure that puts us in line for a shot. No need to answer straight the way Heart Dynasty. We understand if you are afraid of us hurting you because let’s face it we will.”
“These guys are just sick and twisted bullies” JR comments as Dynamite hands the microphone to Hazard.
“And before you accept remember one thing Hart Dynasty: Wrestling’s a Hazard to your health and so are we!”
-That very week on Smackdown the tag team champions had interview time to respond.
“We want to take this time” says Smith “to respond to the challenge from a new up and coming team in Hazard and Tom Billington the Dynamite Kid. They think they can threaten us, frighten us by looking tough. Well Dynamite just remember one thing: My dad looked right back into those eyes and punched you right in them and we are going to do the same thing. You want a shot you got one at Foundation!”
“Yeah and Hazard you tubby yellow SOB” Tyson adds “you have injured friends of mine in this ring by pushing your weight around and using dangerous moves. Well at Foundation you are going to see how dangerous we the Tag Team Champions of the world can be we kick your teeth down your throat and send you back to whatever bar fight you crawled out of!”
-The next week on Raw JB entered the locker room of Hazard and Dynamite to get there response.
“What we have is two punks who think just because they got lucky at Wrestlemania against lesser men that means they are champions” Hazard smirks stretching the scar over his eyes and rubbing his rough bearded chin “oh no. What makes people champions in this sport is kicking ass and taking names. Hart Dynasty you have no idea what I am capable of. But you are going to find out. I break backs and I snap necks. I enjoy it. I am the best I am at what I do and what I do is hurt people.”
Intercontinental Championship: Blast from the past
-The night after Wrestlemania JB is standing in the centre of the ring.
“Ladies and Gentleman please welcome you new Intercontinental Champion: AJ Styles!”
The crowd roar as AJ’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring. He steps up to JB as the music fades.
“AJ Styles last night on the biggest night of the year you defeated your heated rival Samoa Joe in a furious back and forth contest. Now you stand as a champion second to only one. What are your plans for you and that championship?”
“Well first things first JB I want to say something to Samoa Joe: Joe I know your back there, I saw you out here earlier sulking *see next build up*. Well Joe listen and listen good: Last night I beat you and it wasn’t because I politicked for it or because someone wanted me as Champion over you, it’s because I beat you man to man and proved once and for all that I am better than you! And if you want to dispute that then by all means drop you current body guard duties and cash in your rematch. I will be waiting. Now as for my plans for this championship” he takes it from his shoulder and holds it out as he speaks “as of this moment the Intercontinental Championship is my life and my whole world and what I am going to do is defend it against anyone, any shape, any size from anywhere. I am going to prove that I am the best and I deserve the honour of holding this championship. And one day when I lose it I will know that I need to go back to the drawing board and rethink my place. But that won’t be happening. You see I will defend this title any place, any time against anyone and I am going to win over and over. When it is all said and done I want to be the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time and that will be Phenomenal!”
-Suddenly music hits that is that of the “Macho Man” Randy Savage!
-AJ is wide eyed but interest as the “Macho Man” approached the microphone JB holds out toward him with Elizabeth behind.
“Forgive me for interrupting AJ Styles but I believe that you just said that you were going to be the greatest intercontinental champion of all time. Now with all due respect and I do have a lot of respect for you, yes I do, that honour belongs to the man you see before you the “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Oh yeah! I mean did you have the greatest Wrestlemania of all time with Ricky Steamboat? No you did not. You had a great one but it was not as great as what I did...”
“Yeah Randy, I mean all due respect to you and everything, you are great but forgive me if I mistaken but you lost that match” the crowd react as Savage goes a bit nuts.
“Oh Yeah! Well I held that very title you have in your hands for one year! One year I held and defended it and for one year I destroyed all that would be destroyed! You AJ Styles have yet to do that but if you really want to prove how great your are then why don’t you step up to measuring stick and put that title on the line against the “Macho Man.” Oh yeah!”
The crowd roar in response to the idea and AJ nods his head.
“Randy it would be my honour sir...”
-They are both suddenly interrupted as Karl Dutton’s music hits and he makes his way out.
“Whoah! Hold on AJ. As much as I would love to promote that match you heard what I said earlier about everyone starting from the beginning and frankly even if I wasn’t Savage you lost last night. But...but I will give you a shot if you can defeat three opponents over the next three weeks I will let you challenge AJ Styles for the Intercontinental Championship at Foundation having earned it. That sound fair?”
“Who are they! Who is it first? I will beat them all! Bring them out here!” Savage shouts back.
“Well Savage you going to find out because your first match is right now. Now let me go find your an opponent.”
-When we come back from break Savage is still in the ring, now ready for combat and pacing impatiently waiting for his opponent.
-Music then hits and it’s “The Pope” D’angelo Dinero. The two have a great back and forth match, both fighting tooth and nail for the opportunity. But in the end the Macho Man was able to hit the big elbow and cover for the 123.
-The next week Randy’s came out and waited for his second opponent who turned out to be Leviathan. The monster beat Savage from pillar to post but Randy was able to fire back and eventually hit not one, not two but three big elbows and covered Dave for the second win. As Savage gets his hand raised we see Styles watching and nodding in the back.
-On the final week Randy told JB on the way to the ring that he knew his final opponent would be a tough one. And it was as it turned out to be none other than Mankind! The match went through three commercial breaks as the men fort back and forth, everywhere they brawling until finally Savage was able to roll Mick up in the Oklahoma roll for 1...2....3!
-As Randy got his arm raised Karl and AJ both come out clapping. Randy gets on the ropes and point to Savage signalling that he would take the championship.
-On the last week before the big title match AJ was interviewed about the match.
“You know growing up I idolized a lot of wrestlers and the ones I loved were the ones who cut the crap and just went out there and fought hard. And back in those days it seemed that the best wrestlers were always the Intercontinental Champion. Now I know that nowadays that has changed and the World Champion tends to be just as good, that glass ceiling isn’t as evident as in Randy’s day. But the one thing I want to make clear is that growing up and watching pro wrestling Randy Savage, the Macho man oh yeah! He has my hero. And his matches with Steamboat are some of my all time favourites. But as much as it pains me to say this, his day if over. It’s now time for the new generation to step up and take wrestling into the future. Guys like Randy are to be remembered but in the end the future passes guys by and at Foundation it is time for AJ Styles to pass Randy Savage by. But saying that I am going to be proud to give one last great match for this title he made famous. Randy, bring your best because you won’t get anything less than Phenomenal out of me.”
-Later than night Savage responded.
“AJ Styles you talk about history passing me by well so long as I am still breathing my fire and my heart for this business will never die. AJ Styles this Sunday I am going to you and the entire world what the Macho Man is all about, I am going to prove why I am still the best and I am going to show you I am better than you. At the Foundation it will the Foundation of my new legacy, as return to the greatness for Randy Savage and the Intercontinental Championship. And to do that Phenomenal One I am going to beat you. The pass has just become your future champ.”
Main Event
-Hot off Wrestlemania the show opens to the screaming crowd and we are greeted to Monday Night Raw. MVP’s music then hits and MVP comes out with Sherri and Samoa Joe. The three look irate, simmering with disappointment and rage over Wrestlemania. Sherri gets a microphone as the music dies down. MVP has pushed up his sunglasses and is holding his head in his hands, rested again the top rope as Joe pounds the opposite corner behind Sherri in anger.
“Last night was a travesty the likes of which I have not seen in this business for years! My clients were wronged in their title matches and put in unfair situations. Last night their opponent’s got lucky but tonight, tonight we will start to rectify that as of right now! I am in several talks over expanding Sherri Inc and help make it the dominate force in professional wrestling. And next week you will all see. We will have an announcement that will change everything. That’s all. Let’s go.”
Without another word she guides them off and backstage.
-Later in the night the camera crew follows them as they barge in Karl Dutton’s office. Sherri slams her gloved hand down on his desk and he looks up at her, lowering a piece of paper and removing his glasses.
“Sherri what do you want me to do? MVP not only cost himself his official title match but then lost his money in the bank opportunity. You know where that leaves him? On the same level as everyone else. And Joe, you lost your title and you two will now get in line with everyone else” He says frankly.
“How dare your slander my clients like that! You saw the show and you saw the frankly wild situations that were being thrown around last night. Nobody could have won like that! These deserve a chance!”
“They do do they? Well tell you what I will give them both a chance at the main event at Foundation. All you need to worry about is staying tuned for my announcement that will tell you how next.”
-When we return from break Dutton is in the ring.
“Good evening Ladies and Gentleman I hope we all enjoyed Wrestlemania” the crowd cheer in response “good. Now that Vince is out of the way we can finally get down to serious business. It’s a new year and we need to start the New Year with the bang that will start over and yet bring the momentum of the previous year, set the foundation if you will, of what the next year will be. As such I have decided to call our April Pay Per View Foundation. That combined with the yearly draft and trade forum in April will give us chance to truly kick off the next year. As such the World Wrestling Federation Championship will be defended at Foundation and it will be defending by our gallant dark Champion the Undertaker in an Elimination Chamber match!” The crowd roar in response “now I know the Deadman may be feeling worn down even for a Deadman from his storied and very earned long title reign this past 9 months but that is why I am giving his the week off this week to rest his body and soul. Now you may ask; how will we decide his opponents. Could questions and I have the answer. As of this moment everyone in that locker room that is not a champion has been reset to the same level and everyone has the same opportunity as their peer. Will that in mind will have qualifying matches over the next two weeks to decide who will join the Undertaker in the chamber. Good luck gentleman.”
-That night on Raw Bryan Danielson defeated Goldust to qualify and it was all smiles around for him and Cornette.
-Later on in the night Edge, doubt turning to determination manages to dig down deep and defeat Kurt Angle to become the second to qualify.
-The next week MVP’s music starts us off again and Sherri Inc make their way out in snappy suits, tries and sunglasses looking very professional, business like and confident now as they enter the ring. Sherri speaks again.
“Last week was the beginning of our wrongs being righted and we three being lead back down the right path. This week while my clients will qualify to bring that right into the Elimination Chamber we want to announce something that explains my first words and as I said like week changes everything. As you have seen this past year we are not about anything if not simply business. At this moment I would like to announce that the Enterprise of Sherri Inc is about to grow with a merger. Yes a merger and who are we merging with. Well only the best young commodity on the market of course. His representative and I have decided to join forces in our endeavours. Gentleman come on down.”
-She looks toward the ramp as “The final countdown” starts up and Bryan Danielson and Jim Cornette make their way down to the ring in suits themselves, Cornette as always but with a gold rimmed tennis jacket and smiles all around as they walk into the ring. Handshakes all around before the music dies down replaced only with the crowds boos.
“Oh yeah believe it!” Yells Cornette “great wrestling has now combined with great business. Behind us stands three of the greatest wrestlers alive today and we are here to tell the World Wrestling Federation to watch out, we are here to tell the fabled Champion Undertaker that the new generation is here and they want their opportunities and their glory now. You old bastards better just get out of the way. What you are seeing here is not on the birth of crusade to bring young, fresh and hot young talent who can actually wrestle instead of sell t-shirts to the top, not only to make money but in short we are the future. Oh and just so you know we are in talks to bring in a froth and final member that will bring you wrestling like you have never seen it before. You are looking at the newly formed Sherri-Cornette Incorporated and the WWF is put on notice that we are here to stay. Tonight these fine gentleman will qualify for the Elimination Chamber at Foundation and then Undertaker your title reign is as good as over. As Sherri my darlin’ said ‘changes everything’ dunnit!”
-Later that night Samoa Joe used all of his built up rage over AJ and Wrestlemania to run through The British Bulldog and qualify.
-And finally MVP managed to topple Leviathan with the help of Sherri and his new found allies to enter the match as well. The pieces were now all in place.
-That following Sunday is the huge event that is Supercard. The following night the Phenom makes his way to the ring with Paul Bearer, belt around his waist to a huge ovation from the crowd on Raw. He walks over to JB in the ring as his music dies down.
“Undertaker, first of congratulations on your huge victory over Sting last night. An amazing match to top off an amazing event. But we now look on Foundation in two weeks. Over the couple of weeks we have seen the pieces fall into place as 5 men qualified to enter the Elimination Chamber, 3 of which are now all on the same side in the recently formed Sherri-Cornette Inc. What is you plan on action with these odds against you?” JB puts the microphone to his mouth.
“Well first of all let me just stake that Sting last night I may have gotten a lucky hand but you were one hell of an opponent in this ring where it counts” the crowd cheer and clap in response “now on to the business as hand. So Jim Cornette and his “pure wrestling” lackey have joined the Sherri camp. No matter. They are all in this elimination chamber which no doubt they influenced. No matter. What does matter is one by one they will enter into the match and one by one they will fall. MVP you need to wake up and realise little man that great men I have tried to take this title from me and have failed, you are many things but you are no great man. You should of gave up at Wrestlemania when I defeated you on the night you guaranteed victory with two title shots. At Foundation I finish you once and for all and your new friends will go down with you. I won this title in the Elimination Chamber and make no mistake about it my reign shall burn through and continue after this one. You boys have locked yourselves into hell with the devil. Just ask the men who stepped in their with me last time.”
With those words the Undertaker leaves.
-Later that night we are in the lavish suite Sherri and Cornette have provided. Women, the finest food and drink and the most comfortable leather Sofa’s. Cornette looks very happy under three lovely ladies as Sherri is on the phone in the background and their clients relax in the joys of their employment.
“Now” MVP sits forward and places his glass on the table “I want to make everything clear here. You two are not going to try and beat me at the chamber right?”
They got to answer.
“Guys, guys you will get your chance. Foundation is about me finally bringing the WWF Championship to Sherri and Cornette Incorporated. Think of the prestige it will bring. You will both get your shots, hell Bryan you carry yours and a briefcase and Joe you have a rematch you can ask for with AJ Styles any time you want. Foundation needs to be about us as a unit working as a unit. Under those terms we cannot lose and we can finally rid ourselves of the oppressive Undertaker freeing us all to accomplish greatness with him out of the way. Agreed?”
Bryan looks to Cornette for a moment who nods and then down to his briefcase before responding “agreed.”
Joe nods “yeah sure. But I get to bust some heads along the way.”
“Oh you will get your chance my friend and they don’t any part of that” he picks up a shrimp and takes a bite out of it with a smile “trust me I should know.”
-The following week the camera follows Edge as he enters a darkened room backstage.
“I’m here. What do you...” he stops and looks over as the camera swings to Bret Hart standing there “hey? What’s he doing here?”
“I was going to ask you the same thing” Bret replies.
“Gentleman” A booming voice speaks from the shadows.
The camera turns a where Paul Bearer and Undertaker walk out from the shadows.
“Always the dramatic entrance with you...” Bret comments.
Undertaker simply looks at him and then speaks.
“I have asked you here for one simple reason: Sherri and Cornette’s little band. We all heard their comments last week and we know what their managers are capable of planning. We may not like each other, we may not trust each other but unless we work together at Foundation those jackals will take over the match and one by one eventually all of us, even me, will succumb to those impossible odds” Undertaker says.
“He’s right” Bret looks over at Edge.
“Now make no mistake after we have dispensed of them then I will fight hard as ever to keep my title and win and I wouldn’t expect any less from you but we need to work as a team so as to eliminate the three of them first. Do we understand each other?”
“Yes” Bret nods his head “I’ll starch your back if you do mine Taker.”
Undertaker looks over at Edge.
“Alright” Edge finally lets out.
“Good. But Edge if you betray me there will be no place to run in this world where I won’t find you and make sure you never have the chance to do so again. Understand?”
“Yes. You just keep to your end cause after they are done with I am coming after both you old men and then your day will be done and the Rated R era will reign again” with that Edge turns and leaves.
Bret nods and leaves as well.
The spotlight then goes out and all is dark to end the segment.
FOUNDATION
Build Up
Tying up loose ends
-On the night after Wrestlemania Karl Dutton makes his way to the ring with a smile and new swagger about him.
“Well hello all and welcome to the first day of the WWF completely free of Vincent Kennedy Mcmahon!” The crowd cheer in response “speaking of which I would like to address a couple of people regarding Mcmahon’s departure. Shawn Michaels and Triple H get your asses to this ring now!”
The DX music hits and both men are escorted to the ring by security. They understandably look unhappy and almost worried at what was going to come.
“Thank you security, you may leave” Karl nods to them and then turns to Hunter and Shawn “so Gentleman. You both have said some pretty harsh things this past year and your indeed were the spearheads in a campaign to have me lose my job and my company and indeed last night nearly succeeded in doing do...”
“Karl we...” H starts.
“Ahem. I am speaking Hunter and that is Mr. Dutton to you. As I was saying: on the one hand you two are multiple time world champions, great wrestlers, draws and a good business decision to keep on my roster” they nod with smiles “on the other hand you did try to screw me out of my company I rightfully brought and have made my life very difficult in my first year in office so I could very well throw you out on your asses and you Hunter would have to go crawling back to your wife begging for a job down south” the crowd cheer as they look on worried “but....the first option makes more sense and frankly as much as I hate to admit it you are two of the best ever and I can’t afford to let you go to the competition who would grab you in a heartbeat.”
Shawn and Hunter look at each other relieved.
“However” their smiles fade and they look over “don’t think that means you are getting off easy. Oh no. First of all neither of you will be eligible to qualify for the championship match at Foundation nor will you be getting one for a while. Also as of this moment I have something cooking between ourselves and our competition. It’s very hush hush at the moment but Hunter I have a job for you....”
*see Supercard*
Gabriel VS The Miz
-Later in the show the Miz would come out to as loud chorus of jeers and boos.
“Before anyone dares even shout a thing I would first like to state that I am the rightful winner of money in the bank and if there was any justice I would be World Champion at this moment having cashed it in right away after the main event last night. But I didn’t cause their isn’t. But doesn’t worry the Miz will find a way to the World title very soon and the best way around here is to get noticed. And the best way to get noticed is to beat people and look good doing it. So I am asking right now for anyone back there in that locker room, anyone at all, to come out here if they think they have even a chance in hell of beating me. I’m waiting.”
He does not have to wait long as the lights cut out, a choir plays and a ring of fire explodes on the ramp as Gabriel makes his way down to the ring.
As soon as Gabriel steps into the ring Miz holds up his hands and backs off.
“Hey no no not you! Anyone else? Anyone at all?” He tries to look past Gabriel.
Gabriel shakes his head and then launches forward but the Miz is able to bail out of the ring and start retreating up the ramp as Gabriel looks on.
-When we come back from commercial Miz is backstage and runs right into Karl Dutton who is reading a run sheet with his glasses on and walks right into him.
“Watch where you going!” Miz yells out and then as Dutton looks up and takes his glasses off Miz notices and gulps “ummm sorry, sorry Boss I...”
“Quiet a match you just had out there. Oh wait...you didn’t have one. I mean for an opponent and one showed up so...what’s the problem?”
“Are you nuts? He looks like a tattooed white haired version of the incredible Hulk! I saw all I want to see of him last night. Nobody should have to face a freak like that it’s unfair to use normal people.
“I see” Karl nods “well...thing is Miz he is on the roster and the crowd like him and I couldn’t help notice the cheer when he threw you around last night so I tell you what I am going to do. Next week it will be you against Gabriel just as it was meant to be tonight.”
“What?! No!”
“You know since I couldn’t fire DX tonight I really feel in the mood to let go of someone. You know let off some steam...”
“Alright! Yeah! Gabriel in a match! That’s awesome!”
“Great” Karl smile and slaps him on the shoulder “good look kid. Just make sure you health insurance is up to date won’t ya?”
Miz looks on and gulps as the segment fades to end.
-The next week the two make their way out and the match is set to start when as soon as bell rings Miz leaves the ring.
-Gabriel heads out after him but Miz has grabbed himself a steel chair and smashes it over the head of Gabriel. Gabriel however looks back with a snarl and swats the chair out of the stunner Miz’s hands. He then grabs him, hoists him up and precedes to powerbomb him right on the floor with a sick splat. The match is thrown out but Gabriel stands over him with a sick smile and leaves.
-A few minutes later the cameras are in the medical area where Miz is sitting with an ice pack on his neck and a Doctor working over him as he winces in pain. They both look up as there is a knock at the door and Karl enters.
“Hey there Miz. Great segment, I am sure it is going to draw huge numbers” Karl beams.
“What are you talking about? That sick son of bitch about broke my neck.”
“Yeah great TV. Speaking of which I have a space open at Foundation and I was thinking why don’t we finally have this match there on Pay Per View. What do you say?”
“I...”
“Great! Have a great match man! Remember the fans are paying for it. Heal up soon!” Karl calls as he walks off down the halls.
X-Divison
-The night after Supercard Jushin Liger’s music hits and the crowd go nuts for the Light heavyweight champion on the heels of a show steeling match with NWA’s Evan Bourne at Supercard. As Japanese translator stands by Liger translating as Jeremy Borah speaks.
“Jushin “Thunder” Liger” starts JB “an amazing victory last night topping of an amazing run you have had since Wrestlemania. As such the World Wrestling Federation is proud to announce the light heavyweight championship has evolved into the return of the world renowned X-Division champion signalling a new age for the WWF and pro wrestling. Wrestling’s future is truly in this championship believe me” he takes the shiny new belt and hands it to Liger who nods and bows with respect and happiness “Jushin Liger it is an honour to award you with the new X-Division Championship! I cannot thing of a better champion.”
At that moment Alex Shelly’s music hits and all look in confusion as he makes his way down to the ring and gets a microphone.
“Wait just a dam minuet. It’s bad enough that this company is bringing back an exploiting the X-division to replace its boring Light Heavyweight title for cosmetic reasons but saying that this old Japanese cartoon character symbolises the X-Division is a joke JB” the translator is continuing to translate for Liger at this point as Alex looks over at JB “you know JB you were there. I was part of the real X-Division and we didn’t need gimmicks and superhero costumes to carry us, we have talent and we won matches.”
“Umm will all due respect Alex Jushin did help event that style of wrestling in Japan...”
“Yeah! And in TNA we made it better! Well now I am here and I am sick of being overlooked for loser like this joke in front of me.”
Liger says something to the translator who gets on the microphone.
“Mr. Liger says prove it with your body and not your mouth. Face him in the ring and he will put his title on the line” the crowd clap and cheer in response.
“Oh? Face you? Take that title and give it at least some honour back in this stinking company? I would be delighted! You’re on Megaman!”
The crowd cheers in response as JB confirms it with the powers that be. Liger speaks to the translator again as Shelly goes to leave.
“Mr. Liger says Alex Shelly you should see one more thing.”
With that Liger runs forward, rolls and nails Shelly with the rolling wheel kick. The crowd erupt as Liger holds his hands out wide, music playing, with the new title in hand.
WWF Women’s Championship: Hamada VS Kendra VS Trish Stratus VS Sarita
Tag Team Championship
-We come back on Raw and the Dynamite Kid is standing in the ring with a microphone and Hazard behind him.
“Listen up. At the Royal Rumble I and Hazard here came to an agreement and we worked well together that night. Since then we have teamed several times and we have won several times. You see we both like to bust heads and we both like to break the idiots who dare to step in the ring against us. We are two of a kind. We don’t want money or fame. We are here to hurt people. Now that being said we also want glory and honour and reputation and the best way to get that is by being champions. Now it comes to my attention that we as a team have several victories as a team and since our new Tag Team Champions beat every other team last night we figure that puts us in line for a shot. No need to answer straight the way Heart Dynasty. We understand if you are afraid of us hurting you because let’s face it we will.”
“These guys are just sick and twisted bullies” JR comments as Dynamite hands the microphone to Hazard.
“And before you accept remember one thing Hart Dynasty: Wrestling’s a Hazard to your health and so are we!”
-That very week on Smackdown the tag team champions had interview time to respond.
“We want to take this time” says Smith “to respond to the challenge from a new up and coming team in Hazard and Tom Billington the Dynamite Kid. They think they can threaten us, frighten us by looking tough. Well Dynamite just remember one thing: My dad looked right back into those eyes and punched you right in them and we are going to do the same thing. You want a shot you got one at Foundation!”
“Yeah and Hazard you tubby yellow SOB” Tyson adds “you have injured friends of mine in this ring by pushing your weight around and using dangerous moves. Well at Foundation you are going to see how dangerous we the Tag Team Champions of the world can be we kick your teeth down your throat and send you back to whatever bar fight you crawled out of!”
-The next week on Raw JB entered the locker room of Hazard and Dynamite to get there response.
“What we have is two punks who think just because they got lucky at Wrestlemania against lesser men that means they are champions” Hazard smirks stretching the scar over his eyes and rubbing his rough bearded chin “oh no. What makes people champions in this sport is kicking ass and taking names. Hart Dynasty you have no idea what I am capable of. But you are going to find out. I break backs and I snap necks. I enjoy it. I am the best I am at what I do and what I do is hurt people.”
Intercontinental Championship: Blast from the past
-The night after Wrestlemania JB is standing in the centre of the ring.
“Ladies and Gentleman please welcome you new Intercontinental Champion: AJ Styles!”
The crowd roar as AJ’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring. He steps up to JB as the music fades.
“AJ Styles last night on the biggest night of the year you defeated your heated rival Samoa Joe in a furious back and forth contest. Now you stand as a champion second to only one. What are your plans for you and that championship?”
“Well first things first JB I want to say something to Samoa Joe: Joe I know your back there, I saw you out here earlier sulking *see next build up*. Well Joe listen and listen good: Last night I beat you and it wasn’t because I politicked for it or because someone wanted me as Champion over you, it’s because I beat you man to man and proved once and for all that I am better than you! And if you want to dispute that then by all means drop you current body guard duties and cash in your rematch. I will be waiting. Now as for my plans for this championship” he takes it from his shoulder and holds it out as he speaks “as of this moment the Intercontinental Championship is my life and my whole world and what I am going to do is defend it against anyone, any shape, any size from anywhere. I am going to prove that I am the best and I deserve the honour of holding this championship. And one day when I lose it I will know that I need to go back to the drawing board and rethink my place. But that won’t be happening. You see I will defend this title any place, any time against anyone and I am going to win over and over. When it is all said and done I want to be the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time and that will be Phenomenal!”
-Suddenly music hits that is that of the “Macho Man” Randy Savage!
-AJ is wide eyed but interest as the “Macho Man” approached the microphone JB holds out toward him with Elizabeth behind.
“Forgive me for interrupting AJ Styles but I believe that you just said that you were going to be the greatest intercontinental champion of all time. Now with all due respect and I do have a lot of respect for you, yes I do, that honour belongs to the man you see before you the “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Oh yeah! I mean did you have the greatest Wrestlemania of all time with Ricky Steamboat? No you did not. You had a great one but it was not as great as what I did...”
“Yeah Randy, I mean all due respect to you and everything, you are great but forgive me if I mistaken but you lost that match” the crowd react as Savage goes a bit nuts.
“Oh Yeah! Well I held that very title you have in your hands for one year! One year I held and defended it and for one year I destroyed all that would be destroyed! You AJ Styles have yet to do that but if you really want to prove how great your are then why don’t you step up to measuring stick and put that title on the line against the “Macho Man.” Oh yeah!”
The crowd roar in response to the idea and AJ nods his head.
“Randy it would be my honour sir...”
-They are both suddenly interrupted as Karl Dutton’s music hits and he makes his way out.
“Whoah! Hold on AJ. As much as I would love to promote that match you heard what I said earlier about everyone starting from the beginning and frankly even if I wasn’t Savage you lost last night. But...but I will give you a shot if you can defeat three opponents over the next three weeks I will let you challenge AJ Styles for the Intercontinental Championship at Foundation having earned it. That sound fair?”
“Who are they! Who is it first? I will beat them all! Bring them out here!” Savage shouts back.
“Well Savage you going to find out because your first match is right now. Now let me go find your an opponent.”
-When we come back from break Savage is still in the ring, now ready for combat and pacing impatiently waiting for his opponent.
-Music then hits and it’s “The Pope” D’angelo Dinero. The two have a great back and forth match, both fighting tooth and nail for the opportunity. But in the end the Macho Man was able to hit the big elbow and cover for the 123.
-The next week Randy’s came out and waited for his second opponent who turned out to be Leviathan. The monster beat Savage from pillar to post but Randy was able to fire back and eventually hit not one, not two but three big elbows and covered Dave for the second win. As Savage gets his hand raised we see Styles watching and nodding in the back.
-On the final week Randy told JB on the way to the ring that he knew his final opponent would be a tough one. And it was as it turned out to be none other than Mankind! The match went through three commercial breaks as the men fort back and forth, everywhere they brawling until finally Savage was able to roll Mick up in the Oklahoma roll for 1...2....3!
-As Randy got his arm raised Karl and AJ both come out clapping. Randy gets on the ropes and point to Savage signalling that he would take the championship.
-On the last week before the big title match AJ was interviewed about the match.
“You know growing up I idolized a lot of wrestlers and the ones I loved were the ones who cut the crap and just went out there and fought hard. And back in those days it seemed that the best wrestlers were always the Intercontinental Champion. Now I know that nowadays that has changed and the World Champion tends to be just as good, that glass ceiling isn’t as evident as in Randy’s day. But the one thing I want to make clear is that growing up and watching pro wrestling Randy Savage, the Macho man oh yeah! He has my hero. And his matches with Steamboat are some of my all time favourites. But as much as it pains me to say this, his day if over. It’s now time for the new generation to step up and take wrestling into the future. Guys like Randy are to be remembered but in the end the future passes guys by and at Foundation it is time for AJ Styles to pass Randy Savage by. But saying that I am going to be proud to give one last great match for this title he made famous. Randy, bring your best because you won’t get anything less than Phenomenal out of me.”
-Later than night Savage responded.
“AJ Styles you talk about history passing me by well so long as I am still breathing my fire and my heart for this business will never die. AJ Styles this Sunday I am going to you and the entire world what the Macho Man is all about, I am going to prove why I am still the best and I am going to show you I am better than you. At the Foundation it will the Foundation of my new legacy, as return to the greatness for Randy Savage and the Intercontinental Championship. And to do that Phenomenal One I am going to beat you. The pass has just become your future champ.”
Main Event
-Hot off Wrestlemania the show opens to the screaming crowd and we are greeted to Monday Night Raw. MVP’s music then hits and MVP comes out with Sherri and Samoa Joe. The three look irate, simmering with disappointment and rage over Wrestlemania. Sherri gets a microphone as the music dies down. MVP has pushed up his sunglasses and is holding his head in his hands, rested again the top rope as Joe pounds the opposite corner behind Sherri in anger.
“Last night was a travesty the likes of which I have not seen in this business for years! My clients were wronged in their title matches and put in unfair situations. Last night their opponent’s got lucky but tonight, tonight we will start to rectify that as of right now! I am in several talks over expanding Sherri Inc and help make it the dominate force in professional wrestling. And next week you will all see. We will have an announcement that will change everything. That’s all. Let’s go.”
Without another word she guides them off and backstage.
-Later in the night the camera crew follows them as they barge in Karl Dutton’s office. Sherri slams her gloved hand down on his desk and he looks up at her, lowering a piece of paper and removing his glasses.
“Sherri what do you want me to do? MVP not only cost himself his official title match but then lost his money in the bank opportunity. You know where that leaves him? On the same level as everyone else. And Joe, you lost your title and you two will now get in line with everyone else” He says frankly.
“How dare your slander my clients like that! You saw the show and you saw the frankly wild situations that were being thrown around last night. Nobody could have won like that! These deserve a chance!”
“They do do they? Well tell you what I will give them both a chance at the main event at Foundation. All you need to worry about is staying tuned for my announcement that will tell you how next.”
-When we return from break Dutton is in the ring.
“Good evening Ladies and Gentleman I hope we all enjoyed Wrestlemania” the crowd cheer in response “good. Now that Vince is out of the way we can finally get down to serious business. It’s a new year and we need to start the New Year with the bang that will start over and yet bring the momentum of the previous year, set the foundation if you will, of what the next year will be. As such I have decided to call our April Pay Per View Foundation. That combined with the yearly draft and trade forum in April will give us chance to truly kick off the next year. As such the World Wrestling Federation Championship will be defended at Foundation and it will be defending by our gallant dark Champion the Undertaker in an Elimination Chamber match!” The crowd roar in response “now I know the Deadman may be feeling worn down even for a Deadman from his storied and very earned long title reign this past 9 months but that is why I am giving his the week off this week to rest his body and soul. Now you may ask; how will we decide his opponents. Could questions and I have the answer. As of this moment everyone in that locker room that is not a champion has been reset to the same level and everyone has the same opportunity as their peer. Will that in mind will have qualifying matches over the next two weeks to decide who will join the Undertaker in the chamber. Good luck gentleman.”
-That night on Raw Bryan Danielson defeated Goldust to qualify and it was all smiles around for him and Cornette.
-Later on in the night Edge, doubt turning to determination manages to dig down deep and defeat Kurt Angle to become the second to qualify.
-The next week MVP’s music starts us off again and Sherri Inc make their way out in snappy suits, tries and sunglasses looking very professional, business like and confident now as they enter the ring. Sherri speaks again.
“Last week was the beginning of our wrongs being righted and we three being lead back down the right path. This week while my clients will qualify to bring that right into the Elimination Chamber we want to announce something that explains my first words and as I said like week changes everything. As you have seen this past year we are not about anything if not simply business. At this moment I would like to announce that the Enterprise of Sherri Inc is about to grow with a merger. Yes a merger and who are we merging with. Well only the best young commodity on the market of course. His representative and I have decided to join forces in our endeavours. Gentleman come on down.”
-She looks toward the ramp as “The final countdown” starts up and Bryan Danielson and Jim Cornette make their way down to the ring in suits themselves, Cornette as always but with a gold rimmed tennis jacket and smiles all around as they walk into the ring. Handshakes all around before the music dies down replaced only with the crowds boos.
“Oh yeah believe it!” Yells Cornette “great wrestling has now combined with great business. Behind us stands three of the greatest wrestlers alive today and we are here to tell the World Wrestling Federation to watch out, we are here to tell the fabled Champion Undertaker that the new generation is here and they want their opportunities and their glory now. You old bastards better just get out of the way. What you are seeing here is not on the birth of crusade to bring young, fresh and hot young talent who can actually wrestle instead of sell t-shirts to the top, not only to make money but in short we are the future. Oh and just so you know we are in talks to bring in a froth and final member that will bring you wrestling like you have never seen it before. You are looking at the newly formed Sherri-Cornette Incorporated and the WWF is put on notice that we are here to stay. Tonight these fine gentleman will qualify for the Elimination Chamber at Foundation and then Undertaker your title reign is as good as over. As Sherri my darlin’ said ‘changes everything’ dunnit!”
-Later that night Samoa Joe used all of his built up rage over AJ and Wrestlemania to run through The British Bulldog and qualify.
-And finally MVP managed to topple Leviathan with the help of Sherri and his new found allies to enter the match as well. The pieces were now all in place.
-That following Sunday is the huge event that is Supercard. The following night the Phenom makes his way to the ring with Paul Bearer, belt around his waist to a huge ovation from the crowd on Raw. He walks over to JB in the ring as his music dies down.
“Undertaker, first of congratulations on your huge victory over Sting last night. An amazing match to top off an amazing event. But we now look on Foundation in two weeks. Over the couple of weeks we have seen the pieces fall into place as 5 men qualified to enter the Elimination Chamber, 3 of which are now all on the same side in the recently formed Sherri-Cornette Inc. What is you plan on action with these odds against you?” JB puts the microphone to his mouth.
“Well first of all let me just stake that Sting last night I may have gotten a lucky hand but you were one hell of an opponent in this ring where it counts” the crowd cheer and clap in response “now on to the business as hand. So Jim Cornette and his “pure wrestling” lackey have joined the Sherri camp. No matter. They are all in this elimination chamber which no doubt they influenced. No matter. What does matter is one by one they will enter into the match and one by one they will fall. MVP you need to wake up and realise little man that great men I have tried to take this title from me and have failed, you are many things but you are no great man. You should of gave up at Wrestlemania when I defeated you on the night you guaranteed victory with two title shots. At Foundation I finish you once and for all and your new friends will go down with you. I won this title in the Elimination Chamber and make no mistake about it my reign shall burn through and continue after this one. You boys have locked yourselves into hell with the devil. Just ask the men who stepped in their with me last time.”
With those words the Undertaker leaves.
-Later that night we are in the lavish suite Sherri and Cornette have provided. Women, the finest food and drink and the most comfortable leather Sofa’s. Cornette looks very happy under three lovely ladies as Sherri is on the phone in the background and their clients relax in the joys of their employment.
“Now” MVP sits forward and places his glass on the table “I want to make everything clear here. You two are not going to try and beat me at the chamber right?”
They got to answer.
“Guys, guys you will get your chance. Foundation is about me finally bringing the WWF Championship to Sherri and Cornette Incorporated. Think of the prestige it will bring. You will both get your shots, hell Bryan you carry yours and a briefcase and Joe you have a rematch you can ask for with AJ Styles any time you want. Foundation needs to be about us as a unit working as a unit. Under those terms we cannot lose and we can finally rid ourselves of the oppressive Undertaker freeing us all to accomplish greatness with him out of the way. Agreed?”
Bryan looks to Cornette for a moment who nods and then down to his briefcase before responding “agreed.”
Joe nods “yeah sure. But I get to bust some heads along the way.”
“Oh you will get your chance my friend and they don’t any part of that” he picks up a shrimp and takes a bite out of it with a smile “trust me I should know.”
-The following week the camera follows Edge as he enters a darkened room backstage.
“I’m here. What do you...” he stops and looks over as the camera swings to Bret Hart standing there “hey? What’s he doing here?”
“I was going to ask you the same thing” Bret replies.
“Gentleman” A booming voice speaks from the shadows.
The camera turns a where Paul Bearer and Undertaker walk out from the shadows.
“Always the dramatic entrance with you...” Bret comments.
Undertaker simply looks at him and then speaks.
“I have asked you here for one simple reason: Sherri and Cornette’s little band. We all heard their comments last week and we know what their managers are capable of planning. We may not like each other, we may not trust each other but unless we work together at Foundation those jackals will take over the match and one by one eventually all of us, even me, will succumb to those impossible odds” Undertaker says.
“He’s right” Bret looks over at Edge.
“Now make no mistake after we have dispensed of them then I will fight hard as ever to keep my title and win and I wouldn’t expect any less from you but we need to work as a team so as to eliminate the three of them first. Do we understand each other?”
“Yes” Bret nods his head “I’ll starch your back if you do mine Taker.”
Undertaker looks over at Edge.
“Alright” Edge finally lets out.
“Good. But Edge if you betray me there will be no place to run in this world where I won’t find you and make sure you never have the chance to do so again. Understand?”
“Yes. You just keep to your end cause after they are done with I am coming after both you old men and then your day will be done and the Rated R era will reign again” with that Edge turns and leaves.
Bret nods and leaves as well.
The spotlight then goes out and all is dark to end the segment.
