BLAH |
....are you scared? THEY'RE HERE. Opening Montage - nothing. Absolutely nothing. Zip, zero, nix, nada, nyente, nothing. The WWF just gave me at least an extra 20 minutes of sleep...God love 'em. Plenty O' Pyro and a Zombie named Rob inform us that we are LIVE from Milwaukee. WI! Championships will be decided, the main event for WrestleMania in Toronto will be determined, The Rock has Vengence on his mind (but that PPV is over!), and what effect will the nWo have? Let's find out! ....well, if you had "immediately" in your local When Will The nWo Show Up office pool, hot dog yer a wee-ner, 'cause, the screen goes black and white, we get a strobe-light effect, the porno music plays, and there they are - the nWo - Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash make their way to the ring. The crowd cheers lustily, Nash and Hall side-point to Hogan, and I shake my head and can't help but smile as I realize that these guys really are back in the WWF. The strobe light effect stops, we're quickly back to the colour shot, and Nash has a mic! "Y'know,...we're here tonight to set the record straight. We came in here earlier today, and you would NOT BELIEVE the amount of heat we had with the boys. Some of the stares...we're actually kinda frightening. And for what? I mean, becuase of some reputation we have? I mean in the last couple of weeks, words have been thrown around in association with the nWo like...pioson...cancer...y'know some people save that we're self-servinig.....y'know some people have actually used profanity, and said that the nWo is a bunch of 'company-killing bastards'. And speaking for myself and my two friends here, let me tell you something. That hurts our feelings. I mean, what is it we've done - what awful thing did we do? I mean, all we want is a fair chance - a clean slate. We want the ability to come out and prove to you GREAT FANS (crowd cheers for this) not only can we do it, but nobody does it quite....like us." Nash hands the mic to Scott Hall. "Hey, yo." Crows goes nuts, and Hall grins in spite of himself. So do I. "We're not the bad guys! Heck...we're a bunch of marks. We're fans. We just want the opportunity to work with some of the great WWF superstars. I mean, we might even get some autographs...maybe take some pictures...if we're lucky, we might even get to drink some beer with the boys." Nash holds him back and shakes his head - Hall says "just 1?" to Nash, but him and Hogan shake their fingers. HA! "But the point is...we don't want any trouble. Because deep down...we're just like all of you." Nash hands the mic to Hogan, and the crowd cheers and chants "Hogan" for a full forty seconds before Hogan can speak. "Y'know Scott and Kevin I couldn't agree with you more - we're just like all of you out there. I mean, we might be a little richer, a little more famous, but - I mean, we're not here to kill the WWF. We're here to make it better. All we wanna do is give the WWF exactly what they want - and all we want from you..is a chance. But it's up to all of you out there - and all the boys in the back if we get our chance - that remains to be seen. But I can tell you one thing right now. In all sincerity there's one man who gave the nWo a chance...and that was Vince McMahon. And right now I'd like to thank Vince McMahona for the opportunity, and I wanna tell you Vince Mcmahon, we will not let you down. God bless Vince McMahon, thankyou. And God bless all of you, too! And last of all, God bless America. Thankyou for the chance." The porno music plays - Hogan looks emotional and gets a hug from Nash...a hug from Scott Hall - and Nash and Hall give each other a hug. JR isn't convinced, while Lawler says "Maybe they've changed for the better." I hope so. That's an interesting way to start off the evening, I'll say that much. Tag Team Turmoil Scotty II Hotty & Albert vs. Lance Storm & Christian vs. The Dudley Boyz vs. The Hardy boyz vs. The APA vs. Billy & Chuck Scotty & Albert and Christian & Storm will start it off - a new team will come in once one team has been defeated.

WresleMania commercial - only 4 weeks away! Cole's with Ric Flair "Ric Flair, co-owner of the World Wrestling FederationThe nWo has already made it's impact felt here tonight." "Michael they've done a lot more than that - when they walked in the door this afternoon, they said it themselves - the whole place went upside-down! I can't believe for one second that the nWo would think they could stand in the middle of this great arena on this great PPV, and try and sell that bunch of crap to the wrestlers back here. There's a whole dressing room full of WWF Sueperstars that are dyin' to walk out that door and teach these guys about respect the minute the nWo gets out of line." At this point, The Undertaker hgrabs the mic and shoves Cole out of the way. "So what now? You an authority on respect too? You know, maybe you shouldn't worry about keeping your eye on the nWo. Maybe you should worry aobut who's keeping their eye on you." "That would be you." "I suppose yer right. Gives you somthing to think about, doesn't it?" Taker slams the mic into Flair's chest and leaves. Goldust vs. Rob...Van...Dam Here's a quick recap of Goldust assaulting RVD 2 weeks ago. Hey, they've FINALLY wised up and only dropped the gold flakes on the entrance runway and NOT on the ring! Ross tells us that this proves that "the apple can bounce MILES from the tree on some occasion". *gasp* did he just give away Goldusts identity?!? I am SHOCKED!! Lawler enjoys the letterbox format of Goldust's entrance - me too. RVD arrives and Goldust wastes no time, clotheslining RVD against the ropes, then over the ropes, and we're on.

Ice cold beer, from the nWo." Alright, who gave Hall the beer? Austin looks at the beer and says "What?" "Webrought you some beer, man, it's a gift." "That's for me?" "'s for you!"
