The Showstopper

<CENTER itxtvisited="1">Commercial Break</CENTER>

Jim Ross: Welcome back to RAW folks!! What a huge announcement we’ve got earlier on! ‘The Phenom’, ‘The Deadman’, The Undertaker returns NEXT WEEK! Its going to be huge, King!

Jerry Lawler: The Undertaker, who hasn’t been seen since Backlash returns NEXT WEEK? Oh it’s definitely going to be huge, BUT Chris Jericho is not present tonight, J.R! And I don’t know if he knows about this.

Jim Ross: Well, I’m not sure, but all I can say, is that Y2J needs to be here in this arena in time because he has got a qualifying match with RVD for the King of the Ring, and if he somehow misses it, he’s out from the King of the Ring.

Jerry Lawler: Yes, I just hope that our Ayatollah of Rock ‘n Rolla comes here in time. I wouldn’t want him to miss the King of the Ring. He’s won the King of the Ring before too, J.R.

Jim Ross: I know King, but anyway, the King of the Ring starts tonight!! Mysterio takes on Masters, Cena takes on Snitsky, Umaga versus Kane, and Y2J vs. RVD!!

Jerry Lawler: Yeah, and the official contract signing for the HUGE Steel Cage Match between ‘The Game’ Triple H and Kurt Angle will take place tonight! And the team of Mickie James and Victoria face off against Trish and Ashley! Oh my god! It’s going to be a hell of a night, J.R!!

***Masterpiece*** Boos, as Chris Masters comes out from the curtain. ‘The Masterpiece’ walks down the aisle, and gets into the ring, before doing his amazing entrance.

***Booyaka Booyaka 619*** The MGM Grand explodes, as Rey Mysterio pops out from the top of the entrance stage. Mysterio, holding his World Tag Team Title on his right hand, walks down, and then taunts the fans, before he gets into the ring.

Jim Ross: Folks, RAW is kicking off with a huge match up - a match that’ll determine who will advance in the King of the Ring tournament. One-half of the World Tag Team Champs, Rey Mysterio, versus ‘The Masterpiece’ Chris Masters!

Jerry Lawler: Who’d it be? Rey Mysterio!? Chris Masters!? Let’s find out!

Match #1: King of the Ring Qualifying Match:
Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Masters
The crowd of MGM Grand is really “in” to this match up, and it’s mainly because of the first qualifying match of King of the Ring. The much stronger, Chris Masters dominates Rey Mysterio in the early part of the match up, but Rey-Rey keeps fighting with ‘The Masterpiece’, showing a great amount of sprit.
At the eighth minute mark, Chris Masters throws Rey Mysterio into the turnbuckles hardly!! Mysterio rebounds back from the ropes, right into a SICKENING CLOTHESLINE from Masters, who then pins Mysterio, 1… 2… NO!! Mysterio, with everything’s he got, kicks out, showing amazing amount of spirit yet again. ‘The Masterpiece’ however doesn’t show any mercy on Rey Mysterio, as he just stands right at the back of Rey, and starts stalking him for his finishing maneuver - THE MASTERLOCK!!! Rey Mysterio gets up to his feet slowly, and as soon as he looks to turn back, Masters looks to grab him for THE MASTERLOCK – BUT MYSTERIO ROLLS UP MASTERS OUT OF NOWHERE, 1… 2… NO!!! Masters reverses it, 1… 2… {Holds the bottom rope} – THE REF WATCHES MASTERS!!
The MGM Grand goes nuts, as Masters gets right back up to his feet, looking pissed off! Masters helps up Mysterio, and Irish whips him right to the ropes, but Mysterio shoots off of the ropes, and connects the MYSTERIO RANA on Masters, 1… 2… NO!!! Masters kicks out yet again!! ‘The Masterpiece’ gets right back up to his feet, trying to shake the cobwebs loose, but Mysterio dropkicks him right to his back, sending Masters over the middle rope, in the perfect position!! The fans go nuts, as Mysterio taunts, shoots off of the ropes, and bashes Masters’ head with a perfect 619!!! Masters gets right back up to his feet, and once again tries to shake the cobwebs loose, but Mysterio DROPS THE DIME ON HIM!! Mysterio with the cover, 1… 2… 3!!!
Winner via pinfall: Rey Mysterio @ 10:04

Rey Mysterio PINS Chris Masters, and advances to the next round of King of the Ring, as the MGM Grand gives a great ovation to the victory of the one-half of the World Tag Team Champions, Rey Mysterio!

We cut to the backstage immediately, and see Rey Mysterio’s partner, Rob Van Dam, who’ll be facing Chris Jericho tonight, looking at the television set, watching Mysterio advancing in the King of the Ring tournament.

Cut to the car parking lot area where we see Todd Grisham standing right at the back, microphone in hand, waiting for Chris Jericho to arrive.




<CENTER itxtvisited="1">Commercial Break</CENTER>

Coming back from the commercial break, we cut right back to the car parking lot area once again, and find Todd Grisham still looking for Chris Jericho, whilst the commentators start commenting.

Jim Ross: Well, as you can see right there, Todd Grisham is looking for Chris Jericho, but it looks like Chris Jericho still hasn’t made it to the MGM Grand.

Jerry Lawler: Somebody call him on the phone and tell him that he needs to be in this arena if he wants to become the King of the Ring again!

The camera cuts to the interview set area where we see Maria, looking sexy, microphone in her hand and it probably looks like she’s got someone for the interview.

Maria: Ladies and Gentleman, with me this time is none other than The Doctor of Thugo - Thugonaa (Maria messes up the word, and looks dumfounded) Thugonaamii – Thugonaamii –

The fans laugh, as John Cena comes right into the frame, receiving a great pop.

John Cena: It’s Thugonamics, Maria.

Maria: Yeah, that.

Maria’s facial expression right now is priceless, and she’s looking even dumber right now, while Cena just keeps watching at her, probably waiting for Maria to ask some question.

Maria: Why are you looking at me like that?

Cena remains quiet, looking at Maria, who starts looking at Cena too, as the fans laugh. Cena and Maria keep watching each other for few seconds, as the MGM Grand laughs out loudly even more. Cena finally realizes that it’s taking longer, and looks to say something.

John Cena: Got any question to ask?

Maria: No. Why would I ask a question?

More laughter in the MGM Grand, as Cena asks Maria to give him the microphone. Maria hands him with the microphone and walks away, leaving a confused Cena back there. Cena takes a deep breath, trying to refocus himself.

John Cena: Last week, at the three hour special edition of RAW, I finally settled down my little issue with Christian and Tomko. I gotta admit it… I gotta admit that both of them gave me a tough fight, and they nearly destroyed my career.

Mixed reactions, as Cena pauses, looking a bit emotional, but then soon cracks a grin, and continues.

John Cena: But in the end, I made them pack their bags, and I kicked their asses out in a Loser Leaves RAW match last week. So finally, RAW is free from Captain Jackoff and his boyfriend!

Good pops.

John Cena: And now, I believe that I’m done with all of this crap. I’ve waited far too long, and it’s MY time now! All I wanna do right now, is to become the 2006 King of the Ring, head into the biggest party of the summer, SummerSlam, and become the WWE Champion!!

Huge pop.

John Cena: No matter who’s the WWE Champion around that time, just be hundred percent prepared because I’m coming for the WWE Championship. Be prepared because I don’t back down, I don’t quit, I fear nothing, and I regret less.

Another strong pop to Cena.

John Cena: Word Life!!

Cena throws his Word Life sign, as the fans pop. Cena walks away, as the commentators begin hyping the former WWE Champion, whose match is up NEXT!




<CENTER itxtvisited="1">Commercials</CENTER>

***It Wasn’t My Fault*** Out comes Snitsky, receiving no reaction at all. He walks down the aisle, and gets into the ring looking angrier than ever before.

***My Time Is Up Now*** The MGM Grand erupts, as John Cena walks out to the top of the entrance stage, looking excited. Cena walks down the aisle, climbs up the steel steps, and gets into the ring, not even looking afraid of Snitsky, who is boiling in anger. He throws out his jersey to the crowd, and puts his hand up, taunting the fans with the ‘Word Life’ sign.

Match #2; King of the Ring Qualifying Match:
John Cena vs. Gene Snitsky
Squash match? Not really. Snitsky gets in a fair amount of offense in the early part of the match due to his size advantage, but John Cena comes back strongly with a victory in the end.
Near the five minute mark, Gene Snitsky Irish whips Cena to the ropes, and then runs straight at him, SQUASHING CENA IN THE CORNER WITH A SICKENING CORNER CLOTHESLINE!!
Cena then staggers out, as Snitsky Irish whips him to the opposing turnbuckles. Cena rebounds back, as Snitsky charges at him… LOOKING FOR A BIG BOOT… AND CONNECTS!! Snitsky with a cover on Cena, 1… 2… 3!!!??? NO!!! CENA KICKS OUT!!!
A frustrated Snitsky gets right back up to his feet, and starts stalking Cena from behind. The fans start cheering for their favorite, John Cena, who gets up to his feet, turns back, and Snitsky goes for ANOTHER BIG BOOT… but John Cena ducks under it, and knocks down Snitsky with THE FREESTYLE!! The fans pop, as Cena slowly gets up to his feet, shakes the cobwebs loose, shoots off of the ropes, does his usual taunts before delivering FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE on Snitsky!!
‘The Doctor of Thugonamics’ John Cena then waits for Snitsky to get up, but changes his mind, and helps up Snitsky on a vertical stand!! Cena scoops Snitsky up to his shoulders, and then delivers THE F-U!!! The MGM Grand is going ape shit, as Cena covers, 1… 2… 3!!!
Winner via pinfall: John Cena @ 07:12

Huge cheers for Cena, who gets right back up to his feet, and stands tall over the fallen body of Snitsky. The commentators mention that John Cena has qualified for the next round of King of the Ring, whilst Cena looks 100% pumped up and ready to become the 2006 King of the Ring!!

Jim Ross: ‘The Doctor of Thugonamics’ John Cena is back in the title hunt! He says he’s ready to become the 2006 King of the Ring, and he also says that he’s pumped up to become the WWE Champion. Who’d be the 2006 King of the Ring? Will it be someone from RAW? Or someone from SmackDown is going to take this thing?

Jerry Lawler: John Cena is definitely a strong contender to become the 2006 King of the Ring, J.R. I guess every superstar from our brand - RAW - has got guts to become the 2006 King of the Ring. Mentioning a superstar from SmackDown to win this thing isn’t fair though!

Jim Ross: Never underestimate your opposition, King. But anyway, we’ve still not heard anything from Chris Jericho, and we’ve still not seen him. I don’t know whether he’d make it to the MGM Grand or not.

Jerry Lawler: J.R, as we already know, Chris Jericho is scheduled to face Rob Van Dam tonight in the qualifying match for King of the Ring later on. And Eric Bischoff said that if Y2J somehow misses this match, he’s out from this tournament, and RVD will advance!

The camera cuts to the car parking lot once again, as we see Todd Grisham still waiting for Chris Jericho to arrive. The fans in the MGM Grand look interested, and within few moments, a black fancy car suddenly arrives. The fans give mixed reactions, as Todd Grisham runs toward the car. The car stops, the door opens, and outcomes… CHRIS JERICHO dressed in a pair of jeans, black shirt, and with a sunglass. The fans pop to see Jericho, despite him being heel. Jericho turns back, and watches Todd Grisham with a microphone in his hand.

Chris Jericho: What’s wrong, Bod?

Todd Grisham: Chris Jericho, may I have few words with you please?

Jericho smiles and nods.

Chris Jericho: Yeah, sure Bod.

Todd Grisham: Actually, my name isn’t Bo-

Chris Jericho: Who gives a damn about your name, junior? That’s not important. What’s important right now is that the King of the World is back in Vegas!!

Cheap pop.

Chris Jericho: And quiet frankly, I HATE Vegas!!

Huge boos, as Jericho smiles, and moves toward Todd, who rolls his eyes, probably looking nervous standing against Y2J.

Chris Jericho: Y’know what Bod; I hate this damn city because the entire city has been filled with jackasses!! It took me so much time to get into this filthy arena, and is it some kind of a joke huh!? I’m a world famous rock star, and is this a way how someone treats a multi-talented man like me!?

Todd stands just like a still picture, as Y2J takes a deep breath, trying to relax himself.

Chris Jericho: Let me tell you a well known fact, Bod. (Y2J pauses, and then continues) Ever since I took out that old, disgusting, idiot, moron, assclown, monkey boy, sanctimonious son of a bitch; every single damn person in this world came to me and told me how I’ve saved their lives.

Heat.

Chris Jericho: Yeah… they told me that they were sick of watching The Undertaker doing the same old crap every time. They told me the same thing that NO ONE had the guts to take out The Undertaker like that! I’m their new hero, B-

Todd Grisham: The Undertaker is coming back next week.

The fans pop, as Y2J moves an inch towards Todd. It looks like Jericho didn’t realize that Todd said, and he’s just looking angry because Todd interrupted him.

Chris Jericho: Don’t ever interrupt me again! Anyway, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, all the people around the world came to me and told me how I’m their new hero. They told me how I’ve-

Y2J suddenly stops, and nervously goes two inches back.

Chris Jericho: (Nervously) What did you said to me?

Pop, as Jericho looks more than nervous.

Todd Grisham: The General Manager, Mister Bischoff confirmed that The Undertaker is returning next week, and he’ll be participating in the qualifying match for King of the Ring.

Major pop, as Chris Jericho’s jaw literally drops. The MGM Grand continues cheering, as Jericho freezes, but then comes into his senses after few moments.

Chris Jericho: (Still talks nervously) What… the… hell… are… you… talking… about…?

Todd Grisham: Yeah, and not only that, but Mister Bischoff also announced that you have a qualifying match for the King of the Ring later on tonight against Rob Van Dam.

The fans pop, as Jericho looks like he doesn’t care about his qualifying match, and instead looks focused on what Todd said to him about The Undertaker’s return. Chris Jericho, still in a state of shock, stands right at the car parking lot area, looking frozen, as we fade to a break.




<CENTER itxtvisited="1">Commercial Break</CENTER>

Jim Ross: It looks like that Chris Jericho didn’t know about anything.

Jerry Lawler: Yeah, but he needs to get prepared immediately because his qualifying match for the King of the Ring with Rob Van Dam isn’t too far away.

***Slow Chemical*** The MGM Grand goes dark, as Kane comes out to the ring, looking psyched for his upcoming qualifying match with Umaga.

***Bulldozer*** The fans give some heat, as Umaga comes out, followed by Estrada, who keeps giving instructions to Umaga. ‘The Samoan Bulldozer’ gets into the ring, leaving Estrada at the ringside.

Jerry Lawler: ‘The Big Red Machine’ versus ‘The Samoan Bulldozer’!

Jim Ross: Monday Night RAW’s two HUGE monsters going against each other for a chance to become the 2006 King of the Ring!

Match #3; King of the Ring Qualifying Match:
Umaga w/ Armando Estrada vs. Kane
Basically not an ‘awesome’ match, but the fans enjoy this match too, mainly because the pace of this match doesn’t die down at any point. A back and forth match, in which both of RAW’s monsters try to take out each other, and advance in the King of the Ring tournament. Umaga’s manager/controller (I prefer controller. Lol) Armando Estrada plays a vital role in this match up because he keeps controlling Umaga whenever Kane gets the advantage.
At the sixth minute mark, ‘The Big Red Machine’ Kane Irish whips Umaga to the corner, runs at him, and squashes him with a CORNER CLOTHESLINE! Umaga staggers out, as Kane shoots off of the ropes, and looks to knock down him with a BIG BOOT… but Umaga ducks under, and takes down Kane with a HUGE SAVATE KICK when Kane bounces back!!
Estrada quickly climbs up the apron, and tells Umaga to pin Kane, and ‘The Samoan Bulldozer’ goes down to pin Kane, 1… 2… NO!!! Kane kicks out, as Estrada looks shocked. Estrada continues giving instructions to Umaga, who then picks up Kane, and Irish whips him to the ropes. Kane rebounds back, right into a WILD SAMOAN DROP from Umaga!!!
The fans pop for the move, despite Umaga being heel, as Umaga then gets up, climbs up the top turnbuckle, and then dives down… CONNECTING A DIVING HEADBUTT ON THE HEAD OF KANE!! Kane starts moving in the ring, trying to relief his pain, but Umaga drags him to the corner, and makes Kane seat in a resting position!! Estrada watches on, as Umaga runs like a feint train, towards Kane… FOR A SAMOAN WRECKING BALL… but Kane moves out of the way… and UMAGA CRASHES!!
Umaga staggers out, as Kane grabs him by his neck for a CHOKESLAM… Kane is about to DELIVER the move… but Estrada comes out of nowhere, and LOW BLOWS Kane!!! The fans boo like hell, whilst the referee gives the win to Kane via disqualification!!
Winner via DQ: Kane @ 07:28

Estrada quickly yells something to Umaga, who gets up on a vertical stand, and waits for Kane to stand up!! Umaga goes right into the corner, still waiting for Kane to get up, and when Kane does, Umaga runs at him like a feint train, and hits him with ANOTHER SAVATE KICK!! Jim Ross crazily starts yelling at Umaga in commentary, whilst Estrada takes out a cigar from his pocket. Umaga watches at Estrada with a cigar, before Umaga picks up Kane, and just when Estrada breaks the cigar in half… Umaga crashes Kane’s throat with a SAMOAN SPIKE!!! Estrada and Umaga stand right above the fallen body of Kane, before Estrada raises Umaga’s hand in the air!!

Cameras cut to the backstage, and we see Chris Jericho, still NOT dressed in his wrestling attire, looking frustrated, probably because ‘Taker is coming back next week, enters the General Manager’s office, and finds no one there. Y2J rakes his hairs, and slams the table hard!!

Chris Jericho: WHERE THE HELL IS ERIC BISCHOFF!?

Y2J’s frustrations look to grow, but the door opens, and Eric Bischoff enters.

Eric Bischoff: What’s wrong, Jericho?

Jericho takes a sigh, and moves two steps toward the General Manager.

Chris Jericho: I’ll tell you what’s wrong. (Takes a moment, before speaking again) I’ve heard that stupid interviewer say to me that The Undertaker is returning next week. (Eric smiles, and Y2J takes a moment again and starts speaking nervously) Is it really true? I mean, is The Undertaker really returning next week, Eric?

Eric Bischoff nods, as the crowd pops, whilst Y2J rakes through his hairs in frustrations, and slams the table once again! The GM takes a step back, looking worried, as Y2J grabs him by his coat, and slams him against the wall intensely!

Chris Jericho: HOW THE HELL IS THAT HAPPENING!? HUH!? I TOOK HIS ASS OUT AT BACKLASH, DAMMNIT!

The fans pop to see the intensity in Jericho, as Eric Bischoff slowly says ‘leave me’ to Chris Jericho, who suddenly realizes what he’s doing. Y2J lets go Bischoff, as Bischoff takes a sigh of relief.

Eric Bischoff: (Speaks slowly, still looking a bit nervous) Don’t ever do like that. (Calms himself) Go get your wrestling attire on Jericho because you have a qualifying match for King of the Ring against Rob Van Dam tonight, and if you don’t compete, then you’re out from this tournament, and Rob Van Dam advances.

Chris Jericho: I don’t care about becoming the King of the Ring. All I care about right now is to take out The Undertaker once again next week!

Y2J, still looking frustrated, walks away, opens the door, and slams it! The GM quickly runs, opens the door, and watches Y2J walking at the hallway.

Eric Bischoff: (Shouting) I don’t want that to happen ever, Jericho! So that’s why, next week, I’m giving you a night off, and if somehow I get to know that you’re present in the arena, you WON’T be PAID for ONE MONTH!!

Huge pop, as Chris Jericho stops at the hallway, rakes through his hairs once again, and slams his face against the wall!! The MGM Grand continues to cheer on, as Eric Bischoff enters back in his office, and takes a sigh, but in comes Carlito, dressed in his cool outfit.

Eric Bischoff: Welcome back to RAW, Carlito.

Carlito, who was injured at WrestleMania, smiles, and takes a step toward the General Manager.

Carlito: Carlito thanks you Mister Bischoff for adding me in the King of the Ring tournament. (Bischoff smiles, as Carlito continues) By the way, who am I facing next week?

The door opens suddenly, and in comes Eugene to some decent pops. Carlito looks unimpressed, and so does Eric Bischoff, whilst Eugene keeps toying with his hairs. Eric Bischoff switches his vision on Carlito, and starts talking to him, while Eugene stands behind.

Eric Bischoff: Well Carlito, I still haven’t figured it out yet, but since you’re just returning after a good amount of time; I think it’d be better if you face another returning superstar.

The GM pauses, and cracks a grin like an evil, before pointing at Eugene. Carlito smiles too, knowing that he’d be facing Eugene next week. The GM switches his vision on his nephew once again.

Eric Bischoff: Eugene! (Eugene turns back) Come here. (Eugene walks to his uncle, pondering) How about this Eugene? Next week, you versus Carlito in a qualifying match for King of the Ring?

The fans boo, as Eugene nervously looks at Carlito, who smiles, takes out an apple from his pocket, tosses it in the air, and catches it.

Carlito: (Whispering) Dat… Das cool.

Carlito continues to smile, whilst Eric Bischoff rubs his chin, probably thinking of something.

Eric Bischoff: Carlito, I’ve got a cooler idea. (CCC smiles and so does Bischoff) Next week, a returning superstar versus a returning superstar in the qualifying match for King of the Ring! Yeah, Carlito versus…

Bischoff takes a deep pause, and then points at Eugene, making Carlito even more excited.

Eric Bischoff: …The Undertaker!!

Huge pop, as Carlito looks like he’s just pissed in his pants, whilst Eugene up and down! The GM, Eric Bischoff smiles, walks to his door’s office, opens the door, and goes to the outside, leaving a shocked Carlito in his own office.




<CENTER itxtvisited="1">Commercial Break</CENTER>

A clip of Matt Hardy is shown, whilst the commentators mention that the Intercontinental Champion will be back next week, and he’ll be participating in a King of the Ring qualifying match against Joey Mercury.

***Be Yourself*** Audioslave’s song plays, as Ashley Massaro comes out to the ring, to some whistles from the male audience of Las Vegas.

***Time To Rock And Roll*** The former Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus comes out to the ring, receiving a good pop from the MGM Grand.

***Don’t Mess With*** Another former Women’s Champion, Victoria comes out to the ring, receiving a small heel heat from the fans.

***So Fine*** The Women’s Champion, Mickie James comes out to the ring, receiving a good amount of heel heat from the fans. Mickie does a staredown with Trish in the ring, before she hands her title to the referee, who hands it to Lillian at the ringside.

Match #4; Tag Team Match:
Mickie James & Victoria vs. Trish Stratus & Ashley Massaro
The contest starts out with Ashley and Victoria going against each other, but the heel, Victoria takes the advantage of Maria in the earlier part of the match up. The match up then continues, with Mickie and Victoria tagging each other time after time, and keeping Ashley away from Trish. However, Trish finally finds a way to get into the ring when Ashley tags her in.
In the ending minutes of this match up, the former Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus Irish whips Victoria into the corner, and hits her with the STRATUS SPLASH, before she rolls her up, 1… 2… NO!!! Trish Stratus then gets up to her feet, picks up Victoria, and plants her down with a swinging neckbreaker!! Trish covers Victoria, 1… 2… NO!!! Mickie comes in for the save, as Trish gets up to her feet, and then tags in Ashley, who climbs up to the top turnbuckle immediately, and goes for her finisher - STARSTRUCK… but the current Women’s Champion, Mickie James once again gets into the ring, and moves Victoria away, as Ashley crashes onto the canvas!!
Trish eventually gets into the ring for Ashley’s save, but Mickie ducks a clothesline by Trish Stratus, and then Mickie throws Trish to the outside with a clothesline of her won!! Mickie quickly goes back to her corner, and receives a tag from Victoria!! The fans boo, as Mickie picks up Ashley in the ring, and plants down Ashley with TRISH’S OWN FINISHER - STRATUSFACTION!! Mickie with a cover on Ashley, 1… 2… 3!!!
Winner via pinfall: Mickie James & Victoria @ 06:28

Mickie James stands dominant in the ring, right above the hopeless body of Ashley, as the fans keep jeering the Women’s Champion, whilst Trish Stratus gets up at the outside, and keeps staring Mickie.

Cut to the backstage in the World Tag Team Champs’ locker room where we find out Rey Mysterio looking happy, probably because he just won his qualifying match for King of the Ring against Chris Masters early on. Mysterio’s partner, Rob Van Dam quickly joins in.

Rob Van Dam: Solid job, dude. Congratulations.

Rey Mysterio: Thanks amigo.

Someone suddenly opens the door, and in comes Melina, Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury - MNM. They get some boos, as Van Dam-Mysterio and Nitro-Mercury stare each other for a moment, whilst Melina starts speaking.

Melina: (To RVD and Rey) Rey Mysterio and RVD, JUST winning a qualifying match don’t matter. What matters mostly is to become the 2006th King of the Ring. What matters mostly is that you don’t deserve those tag team titles. You and everyone else know that MNM deserves those tag team titles. Simply put, MNM is the most dominant tag team ever to step foot in the history of this business.

Van Dam and Rey Mysterio just keep watching at the three members of MNM, while Melina continues.

Melina: Stop dreaming too. Both of you aren’t as good as you think you are. The 2006th King of the Ring winner will either be Johnny Nitro or Joey Mercury. So stop dreaming guys.

Heat, as RVD and Mysterio just keep watching Melina and her boys.

Melina: (Arrogantly) Yeah, really. (To Nitro and Mercury) Come on boys, let’s get out from here.

Melina goes to the outside, and her boys laugh at Mysterio and RVD, before they follow Melina. The camera zooms in to the face of Mysterio and RVD, who look at each other, and put up a confused look on their faces.

Rey Mysterio: What’s their problem?

Rob Van Dam: (Funnily) I don’t know.

RVD picks up his one-half of the tag team title, and then goes out from his locker-room, looking pumped up for his match with Chris Jericho which is up NEXT!




<CENTER itxtvisited="1">Commercial Break</CENTER>

Jim Ross: Folks, we’re just moments away from our main event of the show. ‘Mr. Monday Night’ Rob Van Dam versus ‘The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n Rolla’ Chris Jericho. Both men will battle each other for a chance to advance in the King of the Ring tournament!

Jerry Lawler: That’s a huge match, but Chris Jericho deserved to get some time. He’s a world famous rock star, J.R!

***One Of A Kind*** A huge pyro explodes, as one-half of the World Tag Team Champion, Rob Van Dam comes out to the entrance ramp, does his R-V-D taunt, before he makes his way down to the ring.

Everyone starts waiting for Chris Jericho, but no one comes out.

Jerry Lawler: Chris Jericho said that he doesn’t care about King of the Ring. Oh J.R, ‘The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n Rolla’ is losing this thing, and Rob Van Dam will surely advance! Damn.

***Break Down The Walls*** The ever famous countdown of Y2J begins, followed by a huge red-hot pyro. Chris Jericho, finally dressed in his wrestling attire, comes out to the entrance ramp, looking a bit annoyed that he has to face RVD, and also knowing about The Undertaker, who is returning next week. Jericho walks down the aisle, and gets into the ring before doing his trademark entrance.

Match #5; Main Event; King of the Ring Qualifying Match:
Chris Jericho vs. Rob Van Dam
With two of the very best superstars of WWE, the company gives them a good amount of time to show the fans what they do best - entertain. The excitement factor in the MGM Grand is really great during this match up.
In the middle part of this match up, Jericho looks to go for an Irish whip, but RVD reverses it, and rolls up Y2J, 1… 2… NO!!! Y2J breaks free, as the fans boo, whilst RVD gets up to his feet, and then runs at Y2J, and knocks him down with a HUGE ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!! Van Dam covers, 1… 2… NO!!! Y2J kicks out, much to the surprise of Van Dam, and the fans of MGM Grand. Van Dam quickly gets up to his feet, trying to figure out what to do next, when he drags Y2J near the ropes. Van Dam runs at the ropes, shoots off of them, and then looks for THE ROLLING THUNDER on Chris Jericho, but ‘The Sexy Beast’ moves out of the way!! From then, Y2J starts dominating RVD with moves like dropkick… RUNNING ENZUIGIRI… FLASHBACK. But Y2J’s momentum breaks up when he misses the LIONSAULT… but ends up coming save to his feet. Y2J then turns back, right into an inside cradle by Van Dam, 1… 2… NO!!! KICK OUT BY Y2J!!
The build up to the end of this match takes place at the 13th minute mark when Rob Van Dam has already taken down Y2J with moves like SUPERKICK, SPLIT-LEGGED MOONSAULT… AND THE ROLLING THUNDER!! ‘Mr. Monday Night’ then scales to the top turnbuckle, and then dives down, looking for the FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH on Chris Jericho, but Jericho moves, and RVD crashes and burns!!
Chris Jericho gets right back up to his feet, and taunts at the fans sitting in the MGM Grand, before he runs at the ropes, springboards back, and connects THE LIONSAULT on RVD!! Jericho taunts the fans once more, signaling for the WALLS OF JERICHO… BUT SUDDENLY… A HUGE GONG HITS… AND THE ARENA GOES DARK!!! The MGM Grand goes nuts, as ‘Taker is already starting to play mind games with Chris Jericho!! The lights come back, and we see the referee focusing on the entrance ramp, whilst Y2J KICKS Van Dam right in his CROWN JEWEL!! Y2J quickly rolls up Van Dam, 1… 2… - AND Y2J GRABS THE TIGHTS OF RVD - …3!!!
Winner via pinfall: Chris Jericho @ 13:28

Chris Jericho quickly escapes to the outside of the ring, leaving a hopeless Van Dam in the ring. The recap of the finish of this match plays out, before it ends, and we see Jericho retreating at the ramp, with a mixed expression on his face – Not liking because ‘Taker is coming back next week, and at the same time, feeling good because he advances in the King of the Ring tournament. [/b]

Jim Ross: God dammnit, this isn’t right! Jericho cheated! Jericho cheated! Rob Van Dam is screwed!

Jerry Lawler: Don’t shout, J.R! Chris Jericho didn’t cheat. It was a fair victory - at least for the referee’s point for view. And by the way, The Undertaker also tried to screw Jericho out through his mind games. So did you mention that? No! You’re just jealous of Jericho’s rise, J.R!

Jim Ross: Oh stop reacting like you don’t know anything, King. Rob Van Dam deserved to advance in the next round for King of the Ring, not that damn Chris Jericho. I just hate that guy.

Jerry Lawler: You hate Jericho? Fine. Everyone says the same, but see where he’s at now. He’s a world famous rock star, and the first ever Undisputed Champion of the WWE! Just read his accomplishments, J.R!

Jim Ross: Ah, stop sucking up to him, King. But anyway, coming up next, we’ll be seeing the official contract signing for the HUGE Steel Cage Match between the WWE Champion, Triple H, and Kurt Angle!

We come back from the commercial break and the clips of the rivalry between Triple H and Kurt Angle plays. It shows how Angle won the Royal Rumble being a SmackDown superstar, and then jumping to Monday Night RAW. And then at Mania, Triple H beats Angle with some help from his sledgehammer. The feud however continues when Angle wins a number one contendership match after WrestleMania, and then gets to face Triple H at Backlash for the title once again.

But then at Backlash, Triple H once again finds a way to beat Kurt Angle. However, Angle once again gets a shot at the WWE Championship, and this time, at King of the Ring, in a Steel Cage Match.

***I’m Back*** The General Manager, Eric Bischoff comes out to the ring for the second time in the night so far, as the fans pop, despite him being a heel GM, probably because he’s going to call down the contract signing. The ring is filled with a red carpet, a table over it, and two chairs. Bischoff gets a microphone, and then looks around the MGM Grand, before speaking.

Eric Bischoff: In just thirty four days, we’ll be witnessing the culmination of one the biggest rivalry in the history of sports entertainment. The WWE Champion, ‘The Game’ Triple H versus ‘The Olympic Gold Medalist’ Kurt Angle!

Pops.

Eric Bischoff: Both living legends will stand in the same ring under a HUGE fifteen foot HIGH Steel Cage. No one will be stopping them. They’ll tear apart each other, and do whatever they could do. They’ll try to shatter other’s dream of holding the richest prize of this industry - the WWE Championship. But only one guy will be walking out from King of the Ring as the WWE Champion, and who’d it be?

‘Kurt Angle’ chants in the MGM Grand starts, as Bischoff looks around the arena, before speaking up once again.

Eric Bischoff: But that HUGE match is five weeks away, and right now, is the right time to make that match official. So without any further ado, let me introduce to you, the 2006 Royal Rumble Winner, the only wrestler in the entire professional wrestling to ever hold the Olympic gold medals, ‘The Wrestling Machine’ Kurt Angle!!

The MGM Grand goes ape shit, waiting for the number one contender when suddenly some red-hot pyro explodes!! ***Medal*** hits the P.A. System, and KURT ANGLE comes out to the entrance ramp, not dressed in his classical wrestling attire - but wearing a black dress pant, and a good looking white shirt over it. The Olympian looks around the MGM Grand, soaking in the electricity, before he decides to walk down the aisle. Kurt Angle, looking dead serious, climbs up the steel steps, and gets into the ring. He stares the General Manager of RAW, Eric Bischoff firstly, before moving some steps closer to him. Both men shake hands with each other, as Eric Bischoff asks Angle to sit down on the chair, but The Olympian refuses, and just stands still, waiting for his rival.

Eric Bischoff: (Smiles) And now, stand up on your feet people, and welcome the current WWE Champion, ‘The Cerebral Assassin’, ‘The Game’ Triple H!!

MAJOR heel heat, but still the fans wait for the WWE Champion to arrive, and just right then - ***Time To Play The Game*** The ever familiar theme song hits, as the MGM Grand fills up with boos everywhere. The WWE Champion, Triple H comes out to the entrance ramp, dressed in a classical suit. Triple H looks around the MGM Grand, soaking in the heel heat, before he slowly starts walking down the aisle. He climbs up the steel steps, and gets into the ring, ignoring the heel heat, before he watches Kurt Angle in the ring dead serious. Eric Bischoff quickly comes in between them, and goes to shake Triple H’s hand, but Triple H still keeps his focus on one of his greatest rivals - Kurt Angle.

The theme song stops, as the fans go ape shit to see Triple H and Angle in the same ring! Triple H slowly moves toward Angle, and then shows the WWE Championship, trying to piss off Angle, but Angle tries to keep his cool, whilst the General Manager picks up the contract from the table, and looks at it, before he interrupts Triple H and Angle.

Eric Bischoff: Gentlemen. (Gets the fans’ attention, but Triple H and Angle keep staring each other) Right now, in my hand, is the official contract for your Steel Cage Match that is scheduled to happen at the King of the Ring. But before anything else, I’d like to tell you about ANOTHER clause that is in this contract.

Bischoff pauses, getting the attention of Triple H and Kurt Angle finally.

Eric Bischoff: I’ve seen both of you beating the crap out of each other at so many occasions, and I just don’t want that to happen. So that’s why, in this clause, you’ll have to sign twice. Firstly, you’ll have to sign to make this match official, and secondly – forget attacking. You can’t even touch each other.

[color="RED"]Eric pauses, but continues after a moment.

Eric Bischoff: And just for example. (To Angle) Say if you, Kurt, break this contract, I’ll HAVE to call that Steel Cage Match off, and Triple H will keep his WWE Championship. (Boos, as Eric points to Triple H) And if Triple H breaks the second clause, I’ll HAVE to name Kurt Angle as the NEW WWE Champion!!

The MGM Grand explodes, as Triple H looks a bit shocked.

Eric Bischoff: Any question, gentlemen? (No response from Angle and Triple H) Good. So Kurt, as a challenger, may I ask you to sign this contract first?

Eric hands the contract and a pen to Angle, who keeps looking at the contract. Angle flips the paper, and looks to sign, but Triple H gets a microphone from someone in the meantime, and interrupts Angle.

Triple H: Think clearly, Kurt. Think about it twice.

The fans look interested, as Kurt holds the pen tightly, and looks to sign, but Triple H interrupts him once more.

Triple H: This isn’t going to be a normal match, Kurt. It’s going to be one, if not, THE most barbaric matches in the history of professional wrestling. And your rest of the life is in your hands, Kurt. These fans don’t call me The Cerebral Assassin for no reason.

Heat, as Angle focuses on Triple H.

Triple H: Forget about winning the WWE Championship, you wouldn’t even be able to know who your wife and kids are. You wouldn’t even know your own name, Kurt.

More heel heat, as Angle keeps looking at Triple H dead seriously.

Triple H: Remember it, Kurt. Try to remember how much chances you’ve got for my title. You got a chance to beat me at WrestleMania 22 and Backlash, but I didn’t even allow you to come (creates little a gap between his first and index finger) this close to my WWE Championship!!

Boos again, as Angle breathes deeply, whilst Eric Bischoff just waits at the back.

Triple H: This’d happen again, and it’d be better if you just take your ass out of this arena. You’ll still be remembered, Kurt. These fans will remember your name forever, but if anyhow you sign this contract, then these fans - your fans - will call you a scumbag. These fans will call you a man who didn’t even backed up his words. These fans will unzip their pants, and piss at the name of Kurt Angle.

The biggest heel heat of the night so far, as Triple H slowly lets out a smirk, whilst Kurt Angle snatches the microphone out of Eric Bischoff’s hand intensely!

Kurt Angle: (Looking pissed off) SHUT UP!!!

Pops, as Angle takes a moment or two to calm himself.

Kurt Angle: You’ve had your say, Hunter… and here’s mine. Don’t expect me to lie down and take a beating from you. At King of the Ring, it’ll be you and me ONE ON ONE for the biggest prize on this earth. It’ll be you, and I, in a fifteen foot high Steel Cage!! No more excuses, no more running, and no more hiding.

Angle pauses, as the fans keep cheering for The Olympian.

Kurt Angle: Deep down inside, Hunter, you know it, I know it, America, England, Australia, India, and the whole freakin’ world knows about it that third times a charm. At King of the Ring, Kurt Angle will walk out as the NEW WWE Champion!! Oh it’s true, it’s DAMN true!!

The MGM Grand erupts, as Angle throws down the microphone, and signs on the contract signing!! The camera zooms in, and we see Angle signing on the second clause too. Kurt Angle then quickly throws the contract to Triple H, who catches it, looking pissed off. Triple H takes a moment or two, before he places the contract at the table, and signs it twice!!

Eric Bischoff: Just to remind you again, guys; Due to the clause in this contract, you can’t even touch each other. And if Kurt Angle breaks this clause, Triple H remains the WWE Champion! And if Triple H breaks this clause, then Kurt Angle will be named the WWE Champion!!!

Pops again, as Bischoff continues, whilst Hunter and Angle look at each other.

Eric Bischoff: The match has been made official. At King of the Ring, it’d be ‘The Game’ Triple H versus ‘The Olympic Gold Medalist’ Kurt Angle in a fifteen foot high STEEL CAGE MATCH!!!

Major pop yet again, while Eric Bischoff cracks a huge grin. Kurt Angle and Triple H don’t even take an eye off each other, and the GM soon realizes it, and asks Kurt Angle to leave first. Kurt Angle looks to leave the ring, but suddenly… TRIPLE H RUNS AT HIM… AND KNOCKS HIM DOWN WITH A TITLE SHOT TO THE HEAD!!

TRIPLE H BREAKS THE CLAUSE!!! KURT ANGLE - THE NEW WWE CHAMPION!?!?!?! The MGM Grand is filled with lots of chaos, whilst the commentators look shocked to see the attack by Triple H! The commentators keep mentioning that Kurt Angle will be the new WWE Champion now because Triple H just broke the second clause!

Eric Bischoff also looks highly shocked at Triple H’s actions, whilst Triple H smiles heavily!! Triple H quickly picks up Kurt Angle, drags him to the table, and puts Angle’s face in between his legs… AND PEDIGREES KURT ANGLE THROUGH THE TABLE!!

HOLY SHIT!!! The camera zooms in to the face of Kurt Angle, and he’s BUSTED OPEN!! Eric Bischoff stands at the corner, looking shocked, whilst Triple H picks up his WWE Championship, stands over the fallen body of Angle, and taunts the fans with his title!!

Jim Ross: TRIPLE IS A NO GOOD SON OF A BITCH!! HE BROKE THE CLAUSE!! DOES THIS MEAN WE HAVE A NEW WWE CHAMPION IN KURT ANGLE!?

Jerry Lawler: Oh my god, King!! What has Triple H done!?

Triple H smiles heavily, and then looks back at Eric Bischoff, who asks what Triple H just did. Triple H, without even giving a response, picks up the contract from the ring, and throws it to the hand of Eric Bischoff, who catches it, and reads it.

Eric Bischoff, after reading the contract, looks even more shocked, with his jaw literally coming out, whilst Triple H smiles even more to see the reactions of the GM. Triple H gets out of the ring, still holding the WWE Championship (Which now belongs to Angle!?)

[i]‘The Game’ Triple H walks toward the entrance ramp, and stands right at the center of it, with the WWE Title still in his hands. Triple H taunts the MGM Grand with the title, as the show goes off creating chaos!!
