Beware, he comes with thunder & clouds. Hunting, like the predator once known. All eyes will see him, but none will know him. They shall wail, because of him. He is the Alpha, the Omega, the beginning and the end. In these days will men seek death, and shall not find it. They shall desire, to die. Then death...will...bleed...from...them!

Sting
8/5/0
'Get ready for the world's to collide!'
- - - - - - - - - -
"Lock away your remorse. Restrain you pain. Tame your fear and purge your emotions. The pathway to oblivion is before you! Now, your temptation shall become a reality!"
- - - - - - - - - -
As day passed on to night, he surfaced from his slumber to face the battle anew. He has dealed his hand to the underworld of his realm, brought men to new life, or to their hell. Now he is to lay rest the soul of an undeparted, and a dreamer who sees beyond his limit. Night falls on the arena, bringing it into naught's embrace. Within it's he walls he lies in wait, on a silver stool within the shadow of night's cloak. Poised still as if like a statue, with a bat resting in one hand, and judgement's wrath waiting in the other. In silence he remained, unaffected by time or the other parodies that played freely in the mortal realm. He was a being of ages, unmatched, unbroken, undisputed in the rite of a champion. But that is but merely in the normal realm.
Sting: "What is it I now have to face? A demon? A ghost? Or, perhaps, a Devil? The Deadman has many faces, are any truly real?"
Yet he is not all that will stand as his enemy. Again a self-titled champion has risen from the mass to declare himself better than all in existence.
Sting: "Ken Kennedy, he's told the thousands that he is the one to lead them to the next era of wrestling. That man has no idea of what he has involved himself in. This match was to be fate's whim. Fate anted me to rest the devil on a stage which he is known to be most powerful. Now his interference is going to call for a different method."
His eyelid part to forge narrow slits on his stone like face. His sight is blind in his surrounding environment. Nothing but serene darkness.
Sting: "This world has fallen to the darkness. There's no hero to bring it no light. No warrior to defend it. No one to banish the evil, no one to slay the devil. Looks as if I'll have to light up the darkness."
With that he loosened the grip on his bat and allowed it to slide between his leather clad fingers. It collided with the floor with a subtle clunk. With that sound several flood lamps placed around the room came to life and suddenly flooded the room with illuminous light, banishing all darkness but the shadow at his feet.
Sting "Time to light it up!"
He then slammed the bat firmly against the cement floor. The force let it bounce back up to his waiting grasp as he took it in one hand and began swiftly circling it around the back and front of his hand as he exited the room with a loud resounding tread.
'The journey begins!'
------------------- Whenever something is too good to be true, don't question it and roll with it!
Interviewer #1: MVP, you were one of the competitors at No Way Out in the Elimination Chamber that crowned our new Co-WWE Champions, The Undertaker and Mr. Kennedy. What's your reaction to this and the Triple Threat at Wrestlemania.
MVP: Aight, first off, I'm wondering why we are even talking about any of those 2-Bit hacks. I came here today to talk about my Wrestlemania plans, where my spot is on the card, my place in the biggest show of the year. Second, I don't care what happens to any of those 3. I don't care if Sting goes on to win after his fluke victory at The Rumble. I don't care if Undertaker continues his Wrestlemania streak by dominating those two. And I don't care if Mr. Kennedy leaves that night as the elite between the 3. It's not my problem. I don't need to worry at all about it. I've beaten them all. And third, we wouldn't even be talking about them if it wasn't for that match. The Elimination Chamber is not just a Steel Cage. I've been locked up before. I've had my fair share of brawls. But that match endangered my career. It put my health in jeapordy. If I was at the top of my game, I could deal with them at any of them. But I was already hurt thanks to being jumped the last Smackdown before No Way Out. The fact Paul Heyman even allowed that to go on says alot about his character as a person. I bet that whole thing was just another conspiracy set up by the WWE management to keep a brother down. I seems the Klan traded in their robes and hoods for suits and ties. But hell, I'm not going to play with the corporate ladder. That's been controlled too long by old men who need to retire and there little punk bitch kids who are always trying to start beef with people like me. When they see me, they see something they fear more then anything. A nigga with a brain.
[MVP points to brain motion as he continues on]
MVP: See, I'm on to all the little scheming that goes on around here. That shit ain't going to fly with me. I'm Montel Vontavious Porter. I draw more money then many on this entire roster. I sweep through many on each show with ease. I'm a Star Attraction. A main eventer. MVP is a Baller, not a Jobber. So if they really think they can keep me down, they got another thing coming. After all, I'm part of the true chosen people who shall inherit this land. The devil has stolen away much from us. But we are slowly regaining all, one step at a time. And a Wrestlemania, another step shall be taken. I'll make sure my next attempt at WWE title is under my terms. Under my conditions. It will be when I want, where I want, and how I want thanks to The Money in the Bank. That contract is my ticket to a true, fair WWE Championship match where justice shall be upheld for once and the superior superstar, me, shall come out on top.
[The Media and Press begin to feel the room with questions from all over,hoping to get more of MVP. Of course, he'd be willing to speak on. Scanning the crowd, he saw another reporter who may have had a good question.]
MVP: Aight, what you want to ask Wonderbread?
Interviewer #2: How do you plan to get into the Money in the Bank ladder match? There are many superstars who will jump at the chance to enter this match and how do you know that your name will be one of the few chosen.
MVP: Man, what kind of question is that? How do I know? Cause while the narrow-minded biggots backstage may want to keep me just a small bit away from proving self, while they try to put me in jeapordy to ruin career and to protect there stars, I got connections in the system to ensure my safety. I ain't a fool. I know how to play the game with people like them. I do promise one thing: If I don't get a chance at that match, a fair, just chance at the match, I'll have Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, and the whole NAACP here. We'll sit in on matches, destroy tickets, block arenas, cost mass protests if that bull goes down one more time. I'm making sure I break the glass ceiling to the top and that my rights are protected. So don't act surprised when I get my chance with a threat like that backed and ready. With nothing in my way, I'll go to Wrestlemania, I'll climb that ladder, I'll put down that briefcase, and you'll hear the ding ding ding, Winner and 2008 Mr. Money in the Bank: Montel Vontavious Porter.
Wrestler: Ken Kennedy Disposition: Heel W/L/D: 2/1/1 Achievements: WWE Champion (held with Homi) – Current ;WWE Tag Team Champion - Current Motive: Interview with Josh Matthews Setting: Backstage
The WWE cameras are backstage as SmackDown returns from a Raw highlight package. The fans’ are booing and soon it becomes clear why, as Ken Kennedy comes into view. Kennedy is stood with a cocky smile on his face, Josh Matthews then comes into view.
Josh: Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Josh Matthews and here with me at this moment in time is Ken Kennedy. N—
Kennedy holds his hand to stop Josh Matthews talking.
Kennedy: WWE Champion, Ken Kennedy!
The crowd respond to the last statement with a “Kennedy Sucks!” chant.
Josh: Err sorry. As I was saying I am joined by the WWE Champion Ken Kennedy! Now Ken, on Raw Shane McMahon announced that you are to be co-champion with The Undertaker. So I, and I am sure everybody else is wondering what you think about the very controversial decision?
Kennedy: What do I think?! As if it isn’t painfully obvious what I think. Shane McMahon has absolutely nothing to do with the WWE Title, or for that matter with the issue between myself and The Undertaker.
Josh: Well he is CEO of this company.
Kennedy: Co-CEO.
Josh: Well he may only be the Co-CEO, but he still has a pretty big vote in what goes on in the WWE.
Kennedy: That may be true, but what Shane McMahon clearly over-looked is the fact that at No Way Out I pinned The Undertaker inside the Elimination Chamber, which by right makes me the WWE Champion! Yet it seems he has a problem with letting go of the past, so he is trying his hardest to screw me out of the title.
Josh: To be fair I don’t think Shane has a problem with letting go of the past.
Kennedy lets out a sigh, and then continues.
Kennedy: Oh really?! Well let’s look at the facts shall we. First off we have the fact that he doesn’t want me to be WWE Champion, so I can bring wrestling into the new era. Then we have him bring back all the has-beens like The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Who lets face it, went out with the Jackson Five!
The crowd starts to boo Kennedy once more as he insults two of the business’ legends.
Kennedy: So tell me Jish –
Kennedy gets cut off by Josh.
Josh: …Err… its Josh.
Kennedy: Whatever. Still as I was saying, tell me this. With everything I have just told you, do you really think Shane McMahon doesn’t have a problem with letting go of the past?
Josh: Well I really can’t say, I guess only he can answer that question. Ok so what do you make of the decision for there to be a triple threat at WrestleMania.
Kennedy: I really couldn’t care less what kind of match I have to compete in at WrestleMania, because at the end of the event there is going to be only one thing that matters. That of course is me standing over the two has-beens holding the WWE Title above my head!
The crowd once again start booing Kennedy.
Josh: Well we have already heard from one of your Mania opponents tonight, Sting. Now he had the opinion that it was destined to be him and ‘Taker taking each other on at Mania, and that you got there through luck.
Kennedy: Blah Blah Blah! Sting needs to worry about one thing at WrestleMania, and it isn’t The Undertaker, or how fate through me into the match. No, we he needs to worry about is me walking into WrestleMania as WWE Champion, and me walking out of WrestleMania as WWE Champion. Now Sting you can call it fate, or destiny but when it is all said and done only one thing will matter. Me standing over your bloody lifeless body, holding the WWE Title in the air!
Josh: Well that is all we have time for now, so for now back to ringside.
As the night begins to fall in the city of Auburn, attention turns to the Arena Live where Smackdown is taking place. A highlights package airing a quick review of ECW has just aired and has ended with the distinct image of Elijah Burke covering Mr Monday Night Rob Van Dam for the three count. Attention now quickly turns back live to LA where Todd Grisham is standing next to the very man himself… Elijah!
Todd Grisham: We just saw there a glimpse of the destruction and domination that this very man Elijah Burke can do, and Elijah, how do you plan to follow up a tremendous debut?
Elijah (who is now looking bemused at this deserved praise and almost laughs at Todd before composing himself and preparing to speak): Well, Todd how do you plan to follow up such a poor attempt at being a grade A Arse-Kiss! I know I caused havoc and destruction and once again proved my dominance in the wrestling business, I don’t need some spectacled moron telling me what I already know! Capiche---
Todd Grisham: Capi--- Yeh whatever, so do you have any motives now to push on and consolidate your impressive debut?
Elijah: You ain’t getting any better at this son, so please just stick to the questions. But your guiding light only has one goal and that is to become the WWE Champion! And all will be destroyed in my path to glory, because you can stop the guiding light. We have already seen what I am capable. I headlined my first event and picked up the win for the team leaving my opponents feeling like they just lost the special Olympics.
Todd Grisham: Hey--- I don’t think your allowed to say that
Elijah: Why? I can say what I please, and what I say is this! I can’t be beat and im marching forth to WrestleMania where I will claim the WWE Title. (Elijah motions himself raising the belt in-front of millions of adoring fans although serious heat can be heard from the somewhat rowdy LA crowd tonight)
Todd Grisham: I.. Er… I hate to break this to you, but I… I… I don’t think you’re the number one contender for the WWE Title
Elijah: Why the hell not!! Oh Oh I have it know… its because of the colour of my skin isn’t it. You don’t want a black person becoming world champion, Is that it.. TODD!
Todd: No! Not at all, the real reason is---
Elijah: Im a African American
Todd: NO! you didn’t win the Royal Rumble
Elijah: Hell No, they wouldn’t have let me participate anyway. You wanna know why?
Todd: Because your of African American Origin
Elijah: Oh… there we go, playing that race card again. Hell I’d have won that rumble from entry one, don’t even sweat that. But anyways don’t dwindle on the past you racist, I intend to be the focal point of WrestleMania… One way or another!
Todd: By winning Money In the Bank and earning yourself a World Title Shot that’s valid for up to a year!!
Elijah: A Money in the--- what Match?
Todd: A Money in the Bank Match. Put simple, briefcase suspended above ring, whoever gets the briefcase wins a title shot. Simple.
Elijah: Holy Smoke, you may have just said the first thing that make perfect sense to me. Money in the Bank. Im basically Money In the Bank because im as dependable as Life Insurance you hear?
Todd: I he---
Elijah: Did I ask for your input Hawkins? Money in the Bank… Money In the Bank…
Elijah then begins to walk away muttering the Money In the Bank match again over and over almost bordering onto the actions of a man possessed. Todd looks on as Elijah carries on walking continually saying that 4 words.. Money In The Bank
As he walks away… Todd tries shouting to him but is clearly being ignored..
Todd: But you have a Match for tonight… and it’s a Money In The Bank Qualifier!!!
These words fall on dear ears as Elijah has already sped away in hot pursuit of the General Managers office to demand a Money In the Bank qualifying match that he already has.
I could do with a header *hint* The Invincible Man Name: Colin Delaney Disposition: HEEL Record: 0/0/0
The arena lights dim and the TitanTron lights up with a video about one of the WWE's brightest young superstars, Colin Delaney. However, Colin hasn’t really had the best luck in WWE and the video features some of these moments:
The video fades out and is replaced by some techno entrance music and the arrival of the man himself; Colin Delaney. Colin is dressed in a sharp suit and has no bandages in sight, apparently having recovered from his injuries. He climbs into the ring and grabs a microphone before speaking.
Colin Delaney: "Wow, it’s great to be back in the ring!"
The crowd pop for Colin’s enthusiasm.
Colin Delaney: "... but I’ve got to say my last experiences weren’t so good. I got beaten up and beaten down. I got humiliated in front of my family, my friends and my fans. But you know what? I’ve learned something from all these beat downs..."
Colin takes a long pause.
Colin Delaney: "... I... am... invincible!"
The crowd seem confused at Colin’s revelation.
Colin Delaney: "I, Colin Delaney, am indestructible. No normal human being could have escaped from the beatings I took in one piece. No mortal man could have got up and walked away from the utter destruction that I received. And that is why I have come to the conclusion that I am no normal human being... I am no mortal man, no, I am superhuman."
Still confused.
Colin Delaney: "Now that I’ve realised I cannot be stopped I have nothing in my way and I’m going straight to the top!"
Oh well, he’s a nice guy, why not support him?
Colin Delaney: "Of course now that I’m untouchable I won’t need your support anymore. I mean, you’re all going to succumb to the reaper’s icy touch at some point, but I’ll be left to live on for eternity as WWE Champion!"
Why are the pretty ones always bastards?
Colin Delaney: "Ladies and Gentlemen for me life begins today... and it will never end!"
Colin throws the microphone down and smirks into the camera before climbing out of the ring and making his way to the back and we cut to commercial or another segment.
As the cameras cut back from a commercial break, we see Elijah Burke pacing down a corridor, walking with a purpose and intent on getting to wherever he needs to be in a hurry. Suddenly he spots Todd Grisham, the very man he was looking for. After being informed by Todd of the Money In The Bank Match at WrestleMania and the fruit it bore for the winner, Burke quickly sought after the general manager to demand an explanation but was shocked when he was told he already had a MITB qualifier later on tonight. Feeling as though he had been ridiculed by geeky Todd, Elijah wasn’t in the best of moods tonight.
Elijah: (Who has now seen Todd): Eh… Timmy!... Timmy! Get your arse over here!
Timothy (‘Work Experience’ Coffee Boy): Yes Sir, Double Latte Sir, No Milk Sir, Spit shine of the boot … (looks up at Elijah) … Sir?
Elijah wipes the disgust away from his face that was etched on as soon as this adolescent descended onto the scene. Pausing for only a brief moment to survey the fact that the Teenager was already on all fours with several cleaning utensils ready for Elijah’s prompt instructions.
Elijah: A-hem… OK.. Just who the Hell!... Are you?
Timothy quickly shoots up to a vertical base but stands no higher then 4 foot something.
Timothy: Im a assistant to the superstars… I cater to professional athletes and their everyday needs
Elijah: OK… How come I haven’t heard of you… Is this some kind of whites only privilege, like the segregated buses. Like when the blacks have to go to the back of the bus. Is this what this is
Timothy: Er… No Sir… I haven’t been assigned to you… and the buses aren’t segregated. From the late 1950’s as a result of the Browder vs Gayle Court Case, Public Transport has been desegregated for years.. prompting a huge victory for the Civil Ri….
Elijah: Shut the Hell Up, T Man, T Squared or whatever the hell your street name is
Timothy: Its er.. Timothy, the er.. same as my house name
Elijah: Quit it, I have more important things to do with myself instead of being distracted by your pre-puberty self
Timothy: Whats Pub---
Elijah: Don’t Worry
Timothy: ….
Elijah: Oh hold up, look at you, how tall are you. Did your arse shrink in the wash or something?... How many rides aren’t you allowed on at the theme park… fool
Timothy: My size is not an issue, it doesn’t affect my work
Elijah: And whom, do you work for?
Timothy: Brian Kendrick
Elijah: Er.. Nope never heard of him. Sounds like a development guy in my opinion. Or TNA. Does he work in TNA. Is he on Big Brother
Timothy: No.. he’s facing you tonight..
Elijah: Oh don’t sweat it, i’d have a harder time finding someone shorter then you, you dweeb.
Timothy: I hope, I hope Kendrick kicks your arse tonight.
Elijah: What the --- Who do you think you are… Its time to get some experience… The Elijah Experience!
Before Timothy can move an inch, Burke has him perfectly positioned for his signature move, the Elijah Experience. A convenient table is placed behind Elijah and Timothy and before anyone could attempt to stop Elijah, Timothy’s prone body now lay motionless after being thrown through the table with ease and grace from Elijah. There was no movement from Timothy, as he just lay stagnant, partially covered by the wreckage and debris around him. Elijah lay over his numb skeleton, with a menacing look etched over his face, the same look at the very start of this segment. He began to brush down his tracksuit and then walked away from the scene of this assault.
Elijah: Now tell your boy Kendrick, how that felt!
Elijah turns to where he first saw Todd before being distracted by the teenager who still lay motionless.
Elijah: Toddy where you at son, Im going to find you. You made me look like an idiot… But you all going to be the idiots when I win Money In The Bank and become World Heavyweight Champion.
With that statement, he hastily left the scene as several EMT’s rushed from various corners to check up on Timothy and assess whether serious damage had occurred to the poor defenceless teenager.
Wrestler: Jeff Hardy Dispostion: Face Record: 2/3/0 [40%] Other: Thanks for the Header Slim.
The fourth Money in the Bank match; eight people go in, but only one can climb the ladder and grab the, oh so covinent, briefcase. Tonight, we see the beggining of the Money in the Bank qualifiers. Striaght from the get go, we will have a former Money in the Bank participant, Jeff Hardy, and former United States Champion, Montel Vontavious Porter, fight for the first spot. Who will go to Wrestlemania with 7 others superstars, the Rainbow Haired Warrior, or the Ballliiinnn' superstar?
We return from commercial after the cocky Elijah Burke and his brutal statement, to the high-tempo music of Jeff Hardy, getting a large pop from the crowd. He comes out wearing his traditional black pants and sleaves, but with an older Hardyz shirt, and his wet black hair tied back. He does an older style of his dance before slapping the hands of the fans, and eventually sliding into the ring. He grabs a mic from ringside and raises it to his lips.
Jeff: Money in the Bank. Wow, an amazing match if I do say so myself. I was in one last year. Kind of took myself out though.
Jeff lowers the microphone and begins to laugh a little bit, before raising hte microphone up to his lips once more.
Jeff: A Wolrd Wrestling Entertainment Title shot at any givin' time. Three Hundred and Sixty-Five days to use it. And all you have to do is climb a ladder and grab a briefcase? Piece of cake. I have to do harder. I assure you tought, let it be the Undertaker, Kennedy, Sting, or this John Cema, I have been hereing about, I will use my case and win it. No cheap after match shit either, I will give you notice that I am coming for you.
Jeff appears to have a more serious look on his face now.
Jeff: First thing first though, tonight I face Montel Vontavious Porter, in a qualifier match. This man took me out of the Elimniation Chamber. For those who don't remeber, here is a clip.
The match is already underway as we come back from the commercial break. Jeff is being beaten down like the proverbial government mule. MVP stomping away at Jeff in the corner until Jeff’s mouth is bleeding. Jeff starts to show signs of life, but MVP thwarts his plans of redemption. MVP whips Hardy into the corner and Jeff attempts a whisper in the wind! MVP moves out of the way and Jeff hits nothing but canvas. Jeff gets back to his feet only for MVP to boot him right in the face. MVP grabs Jeff up and hits the Playmaker! And gets the victory in a rather quick fashion.
King: Oh my MVP is in the chamber match! JR: Jeff didn’t know what hit him in this match up, but you can’t blame the kid for not being prepared at all for competition. King: Sure can’t, but one thing you can’t prepare for is being in the ring with Kane. JR: That’s right. The new chairman has ordered that if Kane gets Disqualified then he will be fired. King: Who would have thought the new chairman would be Paul Heyman? JR: I sure didn’t think it would be.
Jeff: He may of taken' my spot in the Elimniation Chamber, but he won't take my spot in the Money in the Bank qualifier. I will get in that ring, and give you my all. Your fate will be twisted, because I will do what I do best.
He lowers the mics from his lips as the crowd cheers.
Jeff: And that is... steal the show!
Jeff drops the microphone as his music starts to play once more, and he rolls out of the ring. He begins to slap hands with the fans as he leaves the ring and through the curtain.
Wrestler: Montel Vontavious Porter Disposition: heel W/L/D: 5/2/1 motive Send Jeff Hardy a message -----------------
~1.2. You Hear the Clock Ticking Tick-tock, you about to stop living Tick-tock, I want you to remember me Tick-tock, but the day don't have no memory~
[The theme music hits as Montel Vontavious Porter makes his way to address ring. A quick walk around, taking in the crowd before grabbing the mic and entering into the ring.]
MVP: Auburn Hills, it's time for you to do your part and holla at your boy cause Montel Vontavious Porter has arrived.
[Right out the gates, the crowd was already giving him heat. Boos began to echo throughout the crowd as MVP paced around the ring]
MVP: I think I must have bad hearing or something, cause I don't think I'm hearing what I'm suppose to. Let's try again. Auburn Hills, Holla at your boy!
[Maybe some people weren't booing before. Maybe some were booing louder. Either way, MVP did get a louder response. Just not the one he wanted.]
MVP: I don't think any of you realize who is in the ring right now. This is the man who has Main Evented the last 2 PPV's, back to back. I've held more gold then any of you will ever see in your life. And I'm the man who will be Mr. Money in the Bank 2008. And all I got to do is go through is Jeff Hardy.
[MVP takes a pause as he finally finds his place in the ring, no longer pacing and turns attention from crowd to backstage.]
MVP: Jeff, I hope your listening back there. Cause I'm speaking the truth out here. Last time we faced off, it was Do or Die and the loser got left high and dry. I wasn't being the loser that night and I sure as hell ain't be the loser this night. See, you can come out here with whoever you want, ramble on about this change and that change and who you are, but it don't matter. Come out calling yourself the Charismatic Enigma, I'll beat ya. Come out calling yourself The Rainbow Haired Warrior, I'll beat ya. Bring the Brood along, I'll beat them. Run and get your brother and I'll beat both of y'all. See, the fact is that no matter what you call yourself, no matter who you are with, I'm still MVP and your still Jeff Hardy. I'm the 5-Star Attraction, your the opening show distraction. I main event, you lucky to be even present. Some may call you a thiller, but in the ring, I'm the killer.
[MVP starts to recieve heat again, causing him to redirect his attention to the crowd once more]
MVP: Y'all better shut your mouth. This is between me and Jeff and y'all have no place in this. See, Jeff can come out here and suck-up to all you all he wants, to me, unless you part of my crew, you ain't my problem. But I ain't done out here, so I suggest you all sit down and enjoy the fact you even get to be in my presence.
[The crowd's boos pick up once again, frustrating MVP even more.]
MVP: Y'all better learn some respect. Cause I sure as hell don't have to put up with any of you. I'm better then you all. I'm better in every way possible. I make more money then you. I meet the people you wish you met. And I'm the man who, despite some of the negative and prejudice attitudes in WWE management and Board of Directors, fights back on hard and stronger then ever. I overcome week in and week out and all you people do is hate. Well, it's time to wake up. I'm not going away any time soon. I'm a Baller, Not a Jobber.
[As MVP spoke, the boos got louder and louder]
MVP: I'm done with this shit. I got a match to prepare for. Y'all can just watch tonight as I beat Jeff Hardy again, 1....2....3 and cement my name into the Money in the Bank ladder match at Wrestlemania.
Kendrick, who was sitting backstage watching MVP and Jeff Hardy trading insults back and forth with interest is brought back to reality when his phone rings, making him jump in the air. He has to be on high alert seeing as just the other night he slapped Paul London right in the face, and is expecting retaliation some time soon. After staring at the ringing phone for a minute, Kendrick snaps it open and answers it.
"Hello"
The voice on the other end of the line is indistinct, but is talking quickly and Kendricks face has changed into a look of worry.
"What?! Timothy has been hurt? Where is he?"
Kendrick is also beginning to talk frantically, obviously deeply worried for his little friend.
"I'll be there as quick as I can"
On the final word, Kendrick slammed his phone shut and began running towards the spot where Timmy was found by the caller. He doesn't even think of the possibility that this could be a trap masterminded by either Paul London or his opponent tonight Elijah Burke. After all, everyone is trying to get one over on Brian Kendrick. Thankfully for Kendrick, when he arrives at the scene there is no sign of either of those men, and Timothy is standing upright, looking shaken with a few bumps and scratches, but nothing too serious. After checking Timmy is ok, Kendrick sends the person who found Timmy to go and fetch Josh Matthews. It's time Kendrick made a statement to Elijah Burke. After a little while, the man returns followed by Josh Matthews.
Matthews: So Brian, what is it you called me here for?
Kendrick: Mr. Matthews, I don't mean to be rude but I called you here for the TV time. You don't really have to say anything.
Matthews: Oh.
Kendrick takes one look at the dejected face of the interviewer, and being the nice guy that he is changes his mind.
Kendrick: Ok Josh, you can ask me some questions, as long as I get my moment after.
Matthews: Brian Kendrick, tonight you take on the force that is known as Elijah Burke. What are your thoughts on such a difficult task?
Kendrick: My thoughts..my thoughts..
Kendricks thought are quite plainly somewhere else. After a while of repeating 'my thoughts', he finally manages a reply.
Kendrick: My thoughts on facing Elijah Burke are that of facing anybody in the WWE. No matter how much of an underdog I look in the match, I will come out on top. Especially when there is a place at WrestleMania at stake.
Matthews: That brings me nicely onto the next question. How are you feeling about a potential Money in the Bank spot at WrestleMania?
Kendrick: Could you just imagine that? Brian Kendrick, flying around the ladders? In fact, how come I haven't been in a Money in the Bank match before? Then, after I have climbed the ladder for the final time and unhooked the briefcase, I'll have an opportunity at the title.
Kendrick dreamily lifts the 'title' in the air.
Matthews: So you are sure that if you beat Elijah Burke tonight, you will go to WrestleMania, pick up the contract, and then go on to defeat whoever is the World Champion at that time? That could be the Undertaker!
Kendrick: When you put it like that..No.
Matthews: Erm..So you don't think you will go onto win the title?
Kendrick: Wait and see.
Everyone in the arena seems to be completely bewildered, including Josh Matthews.
Kendrick: Ok Josh. Thanks for the interview, but now I need to interview myself.
Kendrick waits for Matthews to leave the set, before talking into the camera.
Kendrick: Elijah Burke. You are no better then Paul London. You go out to the ring, shouting your mouth off about how you are on the way to the top, crushing anybody that 'stands in your way'. When Paul London destroyed Todd Grisham on Raw, he thought it made him look like a real World Champion, attacking an innocent man who could not defend himself. As you probably saw Elijah, when I confronted him about it, gave him a little slap, he didn't do a damn thing about it. That's where you and London are so similar, Burke. You attacked a young man, who had absolutely no chance of defending himself against a trained athlete and amateur boxer. You are both cowards Elijah. That is where the similarities end. Paul London hurt an innocent man so he got a slap for his troubles. You hurt my friend. Tonight, Burke, I'm going to kick your ass all over Aubern Hills, because when you mess with my friends, Brian Kendrick does not take any shit.
Looing directly down the camera, the glint that was seen in his eye when he confronted Paul London is back.
Kendrick: And if you aren't my friend Elijah, then you are my enemy.
Brian Kendrick turns his back on the camera and leads Timothy back to the locker room.
We are outside the arena Cafeteria where a rather familiar Foghorn-Leghorn-esque voice is heard from inside.
JBL (voice only): No I don't want any damn jerky. You people ought to be ashamed. We're here in Auburn pleasing all your people and you give us this service. You ought to be ashamed. You should be at your best when you are serving someone like me. Serving someone like John 'Bradshaw' Layfield... a Wrestling Gawd.
With that, JBL leaves the Cafeteria with an extremely frustrated look on his face and walks down the corridor, talking to some staff on the way about Smackdown before reaching the Interview Area.
JBL: Okay Okay I want this to go as quickly as possible because I have better things to be doing than this... What is it?
Staff Member #1: This is a WWE.com Exclusive Interview, being conducted by Todd Grisham.
JBL:*To Self* That geek? Okay, better than Michael Cole I guess. *Back To Staff Members* Ahem, What will it be about? And how long will it take?
Grisham: It won't take long, JBL. I'm just going to ask you about your illustrious career, your time announcing and what you expect from your return.
JBL: Right, let's start filming then.
The cameraman does the 5 second countdown before letting the camera roll.
Grisham: Hello there and welcome to this WWE.com Exclusive Interview. My guest at this time is the Self-Proclaimed Wrestling God, John 'Bradshaw' Layfield. Now JBL, you team with Gregory Helms to take on CM Punk and Edge in Tag Team Action. What are your thoughts on this match?
JBL: Firstly, it's Mr. Layfield to you. Secondly, having me in a tag team match on the same show with Money in the Bank Qualifiers is down right disgraceful. I should be the one competing for the chance to receive a 1 Year Contract that gives you a WWE Championship Match. I know for a fact that I am more deserving for a Championship Opportunity than Elijah Burke. The man who claims he doesn't receive a championship opportunity because he's black. Reality Check dumbass, it's because you don't deserve it. There are guys like The Undertaker, Sting and John 'Bradshaw' Layfield who are more deserving than you. The men who made the business what it did today and created the stepping stone for you to climb up. Not that Undertaker or Sting are any better than me, because they're not. I'm the best damn all round superstar this company has ever seen. I entertain the fans better than guys like The Rock and Stone Cold. I wrestle better than guys like The New British Bulldogs. And most of all, I am better than guys like you. Now I’m not asking for a Money in the Bank Qualifier, because I am better than that. But one of these days I will receive a Championship Match, and if I don’t there will be hell to pay.
Grisham: Okay then. Mr. Layfield, how does it feel to finally be back in the ring after over a year and a half?
JBL: It feels great. My back was shattered before I retired from the ring but now it’s back and healthy again and I’m certain I am still able to defeat anybody on the WWE roster. Whether it be the little demented freak Brian Kendrick, to the athletic Elijah Burke, to the Co-WWE Champs Ken Kennedy and Undertaker or whether it be my opponents this week Edge and CM Punk.
You see, they can't compete with me. I have the greatest Cruiserweight Champion of all time as my tag team partner, Gregory Helms. There isn't a chance in hell that CM Punk and Edge can defeat us. No matter what they try to do, they'll always be hit with a Shining Wizard or a Clothesline from Hell from out of nowhere. JBL and Gregory Helms will be unstoppable this week and at Wrestlemania, I will be unstoppable alone.
I am issuing an open challenge to anybody on the face of this earth. Whether it be from WWE, the independents, America, Japan, Mexico, Britain or anywhere on the god damn planet. If you want to get a spot on Wrestlemania come and accept the challenge. Come and accept the spot to face John 'Bradshaw' Layfield, a Wrestling God on the Grandest Stage of them All... Wrestlemania 24. Todd, this interview is over.
With that, JBL leaves the area and leaves Grisham standing around. The cameras stop rolling.
JBL: Someone better accept that open challenge now because if not there's gonna be hell to pay and nobody wants to see JBL when he's angry.
Wrestler: Edge Disposition: Face Manager: Torrie Wilson [out of action] Gimmick: Rated R Superstar W/L/D: 7/3/0
The cameras come back from JBL's open challenge and they suddenly see a recap of No Way Out on the titantron, which is weird since No Way Out was two weeks ago but, it doesn't matter. By the time it reaches the end of Edge's brutal match with Kane his music hits the PA. The crowd go wild for him as he walks out through the smoke, stands and lifts his hands in the air as another set of pyro goes off. He walks down in his wrestling attire, overcoat as he walks down to the ring with a mic in his hand. Edge slides in the ring and smiles at the fans as he begins to speak.
Edge: Did you see that? [POP] I said DID YOU SEE THAT?! [LOUDER POP] I did exactly what I said I would and that was to destroy Kane and end his career. Now I've got some good news about Torrie, she was able to get a kidney! [POP] She's already had the operation so she just has to do four weeks of rehabilitation. But, I didn't come out to talk about that, tonight The Rated R Superstar is Back! [The crowd stop cheering and wonder if Edge is going to give them shit] Don't worry I still want you cheering for me. [POP] Now tonight I face Gregory Helms [BOO] and the returning JBL, [BOO] with my tag partner CM Punk! [POP] JBL, who the hell do you think you are?! [POP] You think Helms and you are better than me and Punk? Well you are damn wrong. You say your the greatest Champion, you've won two titles. I have won more titles than I can count. I am a multiple world heavyweight champion, WWE Champion, tag champion and intercontinental. So tonight you better be in for the fight of your life because tonight, you face The Rated R Superstar and the Straight Edged Punk so get ready for some ass Kicking!
The crowd go crazy for Edge as he drops the mic, slides out the ring and heads to the back as the commentators well, comment on it.
Cole: Boy. What a speech from Edge. I can't wait to see his match. Coach: Thats not all you want to see of Edge Cole. Cole: Yeah..... Wait, what? Coach: Nothing Michael we'll come back after this quick commercial break.
The cameras come back from several promos from wrestlers and shows us Edge walking down the interview corridor and heads for the exit but, he's stopped by Josh Matthews.
Josh: Hi Edge would you mind if I interviewed you?
Edge: Well the thing is Josh, I have to go to the hospital to see Torrie and-
Josh: It'll only take a few minutes Edge.
Edge: Well... OK lets get it over with.
Josh Thank you. The cameras will be going on in three...two...one! [Camera light flicks on] Hello and welcome back to Smackdown! I'm Josh Matthews and my guest for tonight is none other than The Rated R Superstar Edge! [POP] Now Edge I have a few questions for you one of them is about Kane and your rivalry to No Way Out. Now I'm probably thinking the same thing as everyone but, why go that far? Edge: Well I'll tell you why I did it. I did it for revenge. Something inside snapped and let it take advantage of me. I wanted to choke and rip the life out of him and I didn't care whether I won or lost the match, or injured or even killed him Josh because what he done to Torrie was a thousand times worse than what I did to him.
Josh: OK, I'll move onto the next question. Tonight you team up with CM Punk to face Gregory Helms and the returning JBL tell me, do you think you will overcome the two of them?
Edge: Well I know this match can go two ways but, I'm going to say Hell Yeah! [POP] Both of them are good wrestlers but, as long CM and I keep them on their toes we are definitely going to kick their asses! But, now that you mention it I don't know why but, I feel a bit annoyed at JBL. He thinks he deserves to go to wrestlemania after one match?! No Way! But, I'm not one to disappoint the fans so JBL I accept your challenge at Wrestlemania and I will spear your ass down for the one two three!
The crowd cheer for Edge as he walks off screen and heads for the exit. But, as he goes someone wearing a mask hits Edge over the head with a steel chair Edge hits the floor and slowly gets up and the masked figure helps him up. He lowblows Edge and walks back a few steps and hits him with a powerful Clothesline, maybe from hell? The masked figure disappears as EMT's help Edge up.

Wrestler: Jeff Hardy Dispostion: Face Record: 2/3/0 [40%] Other: Thanks for the Header Slim.
Jeff Hardy: The Charismatic Enigma, the Rainbow-Haired Warrior, the Legand Thriller; It doesn't matter what you call him, he is the same go lucky, never die person. He goes out every week gives it his all, and never backs down from any challenge. He has been in some of the most intense matches in the wrestling world, and tonight will be another as he takes on Montel Vontavious Porter, to qualify in the Money in the Bank match.
We come from Edge's intense statement, with Josh Matthews, to another interviewer, Kristal Marshall, standing with a microphone, read to start her interview.
Kristel: Hello, my name is Kristel Marshall, and at this time I would like to introduce my guest, Jeff Hardy.
One cue, Jeff Hardy walks into the picture, and the fans explode with cheer, blowing the roof off the place.
Kristel: Thank you for stopping by for an interview.
Jeff: No thank you, there are plenty of other superstars you could have interviewed, but since I am here, what you need to know?
Kristel: What are your thoughts on the Money in the Bank match?
Jeff: It is a match like every other, but only the best are able to get in the match. A title shot at any given' time in the next year? That is almost like a guaranteed title win, if used at the right time. But first things first, on tonight's show, I face MVP in a qualifier match, and that is what we will put on; A show. Me and MVP have had our differences in the past, but they will not compare to tonight's match, as we will give it our all to get in the MITB match.
The picture is now focused on Jeff as Kristel backs away.
Jeff: Now, Montel, you claim you are going to be the 2008 Mr. Money in the Bank, but have you ever even been in a ladder match? I know, hell, the world knows I have been in plenty of them.
The crowd pops at the mention of Jeff Hardy and his record of ladder matches.
Jeff: See I also have one thing that you don't. I have the fans behind me. You come out here and insult them, and then expect them to be behind you?
The crowd answers with a big "Hell No!"
Jeff: Exactly what I was thinking. I feed off of this crowd. Every single on of them cheering me here, at home, or on the corner of the street watching through the glass of a retail store;there still behind me. Now on tonight's show, Smackdown, me and you MVP, one on one. Who will be on top?
Jeff lowers the mic form his lips, for a second, before raising it again.
Jeff: Tonight, we will put on a show...
The crowd begins to cheer as Jeff continues.
Jeff: And I am here, to steal it!
Jeff drops the microphone as his music begins playing over the intercom. He goes to each turnbuckle playing to the crowd, as we fade to commercial.
The cameras head backstage and the crowd are greeted by the optimistic presence of Jimmy Wang Yang, yee-haw-ing down the corridor without a care in the world, not noticing the huge, ominous presence of Mark Henry, and bumping into the World's Strongest Man as a result.
Mark Henry: ...
Yang stops dead in his tracks as Henry turns to face him, staring a hole through the alleged-redneck's trembling features as a deathly silence descends throughout the arena.
Jimmy Wang Yang:I....I...
Henry suddenly snaps, grabbing the cruiserweight by the throat and shoving him against the wall without breaking a sweat, lifting him to his height as he shudders with rage. The camera closes in on the face-to-face confrontation, with Yang doing his best to avert his new-found enemy's gaze. Around the scene, bystanders slowly back away or go about their business as though nothing is happening.
Mark Henry: You got somethin' to say nah, li'l man?
Jimmy Wang Yang: N....n-
Mark Henry: I SAID, have you got somethin' to say, you punk ass midget?
Yang splutters all over his words, choking as Henry tightens his grip; a sick smile crossing his face as he takes pleasure in his adversary's pain until a voice beckons from behind his back.
???: Hey, Henry! You leave him alone!
Mark Henry: ...the hell d'you think you are?
Henry speaks as he turns around, maintaining his grip on Yang, whose expression is growing paler by the second. Henry's own features portray a mixture of surprise and confusion, and he looks on the verge of laughter by the demands of the man before him - Rey Mysterio.
Rey Mysterio: I'm not asking, you big lump of crap - I'm telling you to leave that guy alone.
The World's Strongest Man struggles to hide his bewilderment as he stares Rey in the eyes.
Mark Henry: And what exactly d'you plan to do if I don't?
Mysterio squares up to the man almost twice his size, staring up at him with an almost psychotic glint in his eyes.
Rey Mysterio: ...Whatever it takes.
The tension is stunning, with the crowd on the edge of their seats as the men continue to stare each other down - but suddenly, Henry relinquishes his grip, letting Yang drop to the floor as he desperately gasps for air. Henry begins to walk away; nonetheless keen to have the last word.
Mark Henry: You gettin' off lightly now, Mysterio, you hear me? Get in my face again and I'm huntin' your ass down!
Despite his words it's clear that Henry's a tad dishevelled by the courage of the masked icon, who maintains his piercing gaze as Yang stands up beside him; the colour slowly returning to his face as he breathes heavily between his words.
Jimmy Wang Yang: Th...thanks...Rey. Thanks a lot.
Rey Mysterio: Any time.
Not once making eye contact with the man he just saved, Rey continues to stare in Henry's wake before sharply turning and pacing away; a clear sense of purpose dictating his each and every step.
Cole: Wow! Less than a week after his return and Rey Mysterio is already making an impact! Coach: He needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut, Cole. There's a time and a place for everything - except getting in Mark Henry's way. Cole: I disagree, partner. With the presence of a guy as dignified and courageous as Mysterio, the Smackdown locker room can only be a better place!
You know the thing about chaos? Its fair threadnought

re: WWE Game III
"CLASSIC" COLT CABANA - 0/0/0 - FACE
The camera shifts from Rey Mysterio, to the front of the WWE Owner, Paul Heyman's office. There is a hand that reaches out and knocks. There is a yell that is kinda distorted by the walls, that screams "Come in!" The door opens and Heyman is seen, writing and looking down at his paper work. The man walks in, Heyman still not paying any attention.
???:Hey Paulie! I got word from a friend that you've called me up from the development camp and to meet you here tonight!
Paul Heyman: No, I didn't.
???: Yes, you did.
Paul Heyman: No, I didn't.
???: Yes, you did.
Paul Heyman: (more aggressively) No...I...didn't!
???: Yes, you d...
Paul Heyman: NO I DIDN'T!
Heyman finally looks up, with his face in a disgruntled way. His face changes, to that weird smile of his. The camera looks up a bit, to reveal "Classic" Colt Cabana! Heyman stands up from his desk and walks over to Cabana.
Paul Heyman: Oh yes, now I remember! Sorry about that completely slipped my mind.
Colt Cabana: That happened with Vince too... but anyway, whats my first match? The Undertaker? Mr. Kennedy? Sting? John Cena!?
Paul Heyman: Something like that, you're first JOB is right behind you!
Cabana turns around to three doors, all labeled "1", "2", and "3". Cabana brings his hand to his chin in a thinking matter. "The Price is Right" former host, Bob Barker comes out of no where!
Bob Barker: Welcome back ladies and gentlemen and we are with our good friend, Colt Cabana! Colt, you have your chance to experience your dreams or you can epic fail just like ZTR!
Colt Cabana: Hmm, well, three has always been a great number, since when its' rotated, it looks like a giant pair of...[looks at camera] w's.One is an okay number as it looks like my pe....[looks at camera again] pencil! So, I'm going to have to go with number two!
The door opens and a Twinkie suits falls out of the door as Cabana stares at it. Barker tries to bend over to grab it before he falls and breaks his back. Cabana bends over, stepping on Barker, and picks up the Twinkie suit. Heyman begins to clap.
Paul Heyman: Hooray! We finally got someone to sell the Twinkies! Now, get out there and make us a 25 cents profit!
Colt Cabana: Damn it all! Every time I enter a promotion, its always the Twinkie costume! I never should of worn that costume!
Cabana quickly puts the Twinkie costume on, then walks out of Heyman's office, who is bending over, staring at Bob Barker, who doesn't seem to be breathing....OSHIT! Cabana walks out the hall way, holding up the Twinkie Box.
Colt Cabana: TWINKIE! TWINKIES FOR SALE!
Cabana doesn't make it ten feet, before he hears thunderous foot stomps...and a huge roar...Cabana becomes a little worried, but continues to shout.
Colt Cabana: TWINKIE! TWINKIES FOR SALE!
A huge train comes running through the wall, 20 feet away from Cabana, WAIT! That's not a train, its Big Daddy V! Cabana starts to hesitate!
Big Daddy V: ME! [breathes hard] WANT! [breathes even harder] TWINKIESSSSS! [breathes like a bull on crack!]
Colt Cabana: Take it easy there fella! Don't do anything that could cause you to run at me fiercely and kill me!
BDV starts to run towards Cabana, who flinches and screams! Cabana stays flinched for five minutes, then looks up, and sees that BDV is only half way close. Cabana starts to eat the Twinkies, which makes BDV go a bit faster. Cabana finally throws a Twinkie in front of BDV, who tries to reach down and get it, but can't!
Colt Cabana: HAHAHAHAHA! Your titties are too big to reach down and get it!
Cabana throws the Twinkie box at BDV, who falls to the ground, in utter, HAHAHAHAHA! UTTER!...tiredness, then walks into the closest locker room. Cabana shuts the door behind him, and turns around to reveal Al Snow sitting, tying his boots. Cabana and Snow have a little awkward silence....before Snow smiles and stands up and pats Cabana on the back.
Al Snow: First day on the job and you already got a dumb gimmick, Twinkie Man uh? Damn, and I thought being a ninja sucked...I'll help you out my friend...just like that one time I was in Mars with Head here, we got chased by the Moon people, who had big red eyes, and pink skin. They had guns, but they shot cigarette butts at us!
Colt Cabana:What the fu....
The camera fades to black

The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules.
Wrestler: The Demon Undertaker Disposition: Tweener Setting: The Ring W/L/D/S: 4-2-3-0 Finisher #1: Tombstone Finisher #2: Chokeslam Finisher #3: The Last Ride Motive: Teaming with thine enemy
We come back from a commercial break to see a dark room with the smell of evil permeating from the walls. A red ambient consumes the room as the camera looks around at the cold stonewalls. The camera turns and sitting right on a stone throne is none other than Satan himself, The Undertaker.
”…Mister Kennedy. It looks like after everything I have put you through, you still want to try and be a thorn in my side. One would think that you would have smartened up after I delivered that Tombstone at the Elimination Chamber, but no. You want to keep coming after me in pursuit of something that we both hold….The WWE Championship.”Taker reaches over and grabs a title belt, the WWE Title. The belt is placed on his lap and Taker continues to speak.
”Kennedy we may both be the WWE Champion, but lets get one thing straight. I am the reaper of souls, the lord of darkness, the demon of Death Valley, and I am the one that drove you head first through the top of that chamber pod to become the champion. We might be partners tonight, but as soon as the match ends and that bell sounds. All bets are off and I will not hesitate to grab you by your skinny little neck and chokeslam you straight to the bowels of hell!”Takers eyes are beginning to glow a bright red. Smoke has started to rise from the ground all around The Undertaker. The title belt seems to be glowing as it sits on his lap, but Taker is not yet finished speaking.
”Tonight we share a common enemy and that enemy being Sting; The man with the golden ticket to WrestleMania, a spectacle at which I have never tasted defeat. Sting, let me ask you one simple question. Do you think you are the first man to promise to take me off my throne? Do you think you are the first person to promise to light up the darkness!? The truth be told, the list of men who have tried to stop my reign of terror is a long one. Many warriors have tried to knock me off, only for them to taste the bitter cold taste of defeat. Many promise have been made to light up my darkness, but what you don’t realize Sting is that no matter how much light you provide, there is always darkness surrounding it. The shade the keeps you cool in the summer, a lonely child’s first friend in his own shadow, the darkness that consumes your mind when anger engulfs your thoughts. No matter how much light Sting, no matter how much, Darkness will always consume the light!”Taker rolls his eyes in the back of his head as fire erupts all around him. Taker begins laughing in a cold and dark manor. The eyes of the deadman turn into flames as the camera fades to black.
