-[[ Bloody hands. ]]-

-[[ Muhammad Hassan is covered in blood up to his forearms.. It stains his chest.. The match with Kurt Angle was a lesson in brutality.. He stares in the mirror into his own eyes and holds his hands underneath the faucet.. Blood swirls down the drain and disappears.. Hassan's eyes grow larger as a figure appears behind him in the mirror... "Stone Cold" Steve Austin stares a hole right through him.. Hassan, keeping his eyes locked on the rattlesnake's reflection, does not turn around.. ]]-

[ Muhammad Hassan ] What do you want?

-[[ Steve Austin's voice is low, accusing. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] I reckon I wanted to get a look at a man that uses every breath he's got to preach.. The joys.. Of bein' fair and all o'that equality bullshit.. And then don't even have the common god damn decency to fight a man fair..

-[[ Hassan gets a smug look on his face and nods.. ]]-

[ Muhammad Hassan ] I defeated Kurt Angle fairly--

-[[ Austin cuts him off. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] Ya' didn't defeat shit, ya' little bastard..

[ Muhammad Hassan ] My hand was raised... IN VICTORY!!

[ Steve Austin ] Ya' didn't pin the man.. He didn't submit!!

-[[ Austin's sounds angrier than before. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] That sheik lookin' bastard cut'im wide open!!

-[[ Austin takes a step forward. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] Right place, right time.. That's all you were.

-[[ Hassan's smile gets bigger, more threatening. ]]-

[ Muhammad Hassan ] Sheik looking... Bastard, you say?

-[[ Austin jumps all over him. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] Ah, shut your damn mouth, kid.. You can call ol' Stone Cold a lot o'things.. But a racist? If there's anything I am, it's an equal opportunity ass kicker.. I hate everybody, son, and right now.. I reckon I hate you 'bout as much as I hate anybody else.. Not because you're a..... Arab American.. Or whatever that bullshit is...

-[[ Austin waggles his head around as he talks shit, getting under Hassan's skin. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] But because you're an asshole American!! And in Stone Cold's house.. Which you just happen to be standin' in tonight, EH-EH!! That just ain't gonna cut it!! You gonna look me in the eye, son? Or you gonna keep playin' shifty eyes with yourself in that mirror?

-[[ The next line hits Hassan like needles in his ears. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] What?

-[[ Austin answers his own question. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] You want me to leave you two alone?

-[[ Again with the needles. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] What?

-[[ And again, he answers his own question. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] You're creepin' me out..

-[[ Needles. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] What?

-[[ Answer. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] The way you're grinnin' at'che self.. I'm 'fraid you're gonna turn around and put my eye out..

[ Muhammad Hassan ] ..Enough.

[ Steve Austin ] What!?

-[[ Hassan spins around, slinging water, mixed with crimson.. His fists are clenched as he stares Austin right in the face.. The tension is thick, but Austin is clearly more relaxed than Hassan.. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] The way you turned around there.. Makes you look like you wanna fight ol' Stone Cold.

-[[ No answer from Hassan. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] Well? Do ya'?

-[[ Hassan is shaking with anger.. ]]-

[ Muhammad Hassan ] Steve... Austin... If it's a fight you seek... Then it's a fight.. YOU'LL.. GET!!

-[[ Austin storms right up into Hassan's face, they're practically touching noses. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] Make your move, hot shot.. I'll stomp your ass right in the damn ground.

-[[ Hassan cracks a smile.. ]]-

[ Muhammad Hassan ] Wait... Wait a second, Steve.. Just.. One.. Second...

-[[ A sarcastic, smart ass tone fills Hassan's voice. ]]-

[ Muhammad Hassan ] I think you've made a mistake... As you can see.....

-[[ Hassan accentuates his chest, still stained with Kurt Angle's blood.. ]]-

[ Muhammad Hassan ] I don't have... Breasts.... As a matter of fact... I don't have long, blonde hair.. I'm not even... A FEMALE!! And judging from the newspaper headlines as of late... That puts me.. Right OUT.. Of your league!!

-[[ All the humor has left the room.. Steve Austin stares coldly at Hassan, not saying a word. ]]-

[ Muhammad Hassan ] Look at yourself, Steve... You are an out of shape... Past your prime.. HAS-BEEN!! And even worse, you have gone.. From winning world championships...... TO BEATING WOMEN!! And now.. Look at me... I am the GREAT.. MUHAMMAD HASSAN!! And to... Scrap, as rednecks such as yourself would call it, with you here and now... Would lower me.. It would put me.. On YOUR level...

-[[ Hassan laughs. ]]-

[ Muhammad Hassan ] It's suitable tonight.. That we meet in the Thunderdome.. Because behind steel bars....

-[[ And Hassan slaps Austin hard across the face.. ]]-

[ Muhammad Hassan ] IS WHERE YOU BELONG!!!

-[[ Austin turns his head back to Hassan, a smile now etched across his own face.. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] Well... This is all I gotta say about that...

-[[ Austin lowers his head to think...... And then punches Hassan right in the mouth!! Hassan spins around, finding himself face to face with himself in the mirror again.. He spits blood into the sink and begins laughing.. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] Somethin' funny?

-[[ In the mirror, Hassan sees a figure behind Austin.. ]]-

[ Muhammad Hassan ] You're... Foolishness...

[ Steve Austin ] ..What?

-[[ And Austin is blasted from behind... BY CACTUS JACK!! The shot sends Austin reeling forward into Hassan's arms.. FLATLINER INTO THE SINK!! Porcelain goes everywhere as Austin and Hassan both lay on the floor.. Water sprays all over the place.. Hassan rolls away from Austin and stands up.. Austin lays motionless, blood pouring out of his head and swirling around in the water that coats the floor.. Hassan stares at Cactus, who stares at the fallen Austin.. ]]-

[ Muhammad Hassan ] Well?

-[[ But Cactus doesn't acknowledge Hassan.. He drops to his knees next to Austin.. ]]-

[ Cactus Jack ] Steve? ......Steve?

-[[ Hassan shakes his head, not understanding, but disgusted nonetheless. ]]-

[ Cactus Jack ] It's time to wake up....

-[[ Hassan stares at two of his opponents for a moment.. He grumbles. ]]-

[ Muhammad Hassan ] Pathetic..

-[[ He walks away, shaking his head.. Cactus shakes Austin's body before looking up.. With an innocent quiver in his voice, he speaks to no one in particular... ]]-

[ Cactus Jack ] I think... I think Steve needs a doctor....

-[[ He slumps back on his ass and begins pulling at his hair.. Will Austin even be able to compete in the Thunderdome!? ]]-

-[[ The Rock's smiling face fills the screen.. He's walking down the hallway with his head of security, Haku following closely behind him.. Lita walks along his side, but not too close, that just ain't how the Rock rolls, ya' heard? The Rock is dressed in his black pants and black vest with the giant Brahma bull belt buckle.. He got a bottle of water in his hand as he walks down the hall with seemingly no goal in mind.... The smile alone is enough to piss anyone off.. He walks past three men in the hall.... Alex Shelley, Jimmy Rave, and Prince Nana.. Collectively known as The Embassy... ]]-

[ Alex Shelley ] You guys see that?

-[[ Jimmy Rave smirks, shaking his head. ]]-

[ Jimmy Rave ] Prima donna.. Didn't even introduce himself..

-[[ The Rock stops dead in his tracks, despite being well-past the trio... The Rock begins walking backward until he's face to face with them.. The Rock lowers his sunglasses and looks each man up and down with his eyebrow raised..... And the serious look on his face quickly cracks as he smiles and extends his hand.. ]]-

[ The Rock ] Baby, it's the Rock.. Pleased ta' meet ya'..

-[[ Rave and Shelley each shake his hand as Prince Nana watches.. ]]-

[ The Rock ] You guys new here?

[ Lita ] That was great, Rocky.

-[[ The Rock has a huge smile on his face. ]]-

[ The Rock ] The Rock says no more talk, slut.

-[[ Before she can even respond, The Rock has turned his attention to another man standing in the hall.. Looking intense and angry at the world, Perry Saturn stares at the movie star and his oddball entourage... The Rock looks Saturn up and down, seeming impressed.. He unscrews the cap and takes a sip before replacing it... He nods as he looks at Saturn, like he sees something he likes.. ]]-

[ The Rock ] Perry Saturn!! SATURN!! Whoa!! Look 'atcha'.. It's the FORMA'.. Pro-Wrestling Redefined World CHAMP-EE-ON!! YEAH!! What's he lookin' at!? One eye goin' this way!! One eye goin' the OTHA'!! The Rock don't know!! First night in Solid Gold RESS-LIN'!! What'cha gotta SAY!?

-[[ Perry Saturn opens his mouth to speak, looking furious... The Rock throws a hand up in his face. ]]-

[ The Rock ] Nah.

-[[ The Rock walks away from him, that big smile returning.. He keeps walking down the hall with no goal in mind, it seems but this time, the Rock doesn't stop on his own..... He's stopped by someone else... The fans pop huge as John Cena comes into the shot...... Cena stares at the Rock with a cold, serious look... The Rock is still smiling.. He speaks. ]]-

[ The Rock ] Whoa.. Haku!! Haku, look at this guy!! It's MARKY MAAARK!! WHOA!!

-[[ The Rock takes a big gulp..... And then spits the water right in Cena's face!! ]]-

[ The Rock ] THAT'S BETTA'!!

-[[ The Rock reaches into his pocket and produces a handkerchief out of nowhere.. He politely hands it to Cena who accepts it and looks down at it with a serious look on his face.. ]]-

[ The Rock ] The Rock says wipe ya' self off.. Ya' just got disrespected.

-[[ Cena looks at the handkerchief and begins dabbing at his face.. Cena drops the handkerchief and unbelievably manages a smile as he looks up at the Rock... ]]-

[ John Cena ] Ya' know somethin', Rocky.. Ya' keep showin' ya' ass like that around here.. And soona'.. Ratha' than lata'.. Somebody's gonna knock you on it..

[ The Rock ] Hold on, the Rock's gonna slap ya'..

-[[ And the Rock does just that!! He slaps John Cena right in the face!! This finally pisses Cena off. ]]-

Let the Rock tell ya' somethin'.. Haku, here.. HAKU.. HAW-KUUU.. He ain't gay.. But he'll do ya' just to piss ya' off!!

-[[ Haku looks confused.. Even he doesn't get this rambling bullshit... John Cena has had enough... He punches the Rock in the face!! The Rock staggers back and Cena tackles him down!! Haku grabs Cena around the waist and pulls him up, but Cena is fighting like crazy!! Security begins flooding the area, separating the two men as they attempt to trade punches and kicks.. The Rock is yelling as they're dragged apart.. ]]-

[ The Rock ] Arrest that maniac!! THE ROCK SAYS.. ARREST HIS ASS!! He's CRAZY!!

[ Amy Love ] Excuse me... Uh.. Undertaker?

-[[ The Undertaker's face becomes clear and although his eyes are hidden by his sunglasses, you know he does not look up at the first female competitor in SGW history.... He concentrates fully on tightening his gloves... ]]-

[ Amy Love ] Would you mind.. Moving? That's my bag you're sitting on..

-[[ No response... He finishes one glove and begins on the other.. ]]-

[ Amy Love ] I need it.. So I can get ready for my match.. Have you heard?

[ The Undertaker ] Little girl... Ye' shouldn't have.

-[[ He stands up, looming over them.. At least two heads taller than each one... Scarlett looks like she knows that she's done fucked up.. Amy begins to back away..

Amy Love just stands in shock, staring at the man who just decimated the entire group of men who tried to save her, as well as her friend.... Taker begins advancing on her, chewing tobacco..

And again!! Taker is down.. And he starts to pull himself up.... And he's kicked straight down.. BY THE BIG SHOW!! Kennedy laughs a cocky prick.. ]]-

-[[ Amy Love grabs her bag out from under the chair and quickly helps Scarlett to her feet.. She looks up at Kennedy. ]]-

[ Amy Love ] Thanks..

-[[ And the two of them quickly run away down the hall, leaving Kennedy and Big Show standing amongst the human wasteland that was mostly created by the Undertaker.... Kennedy looks disgusted that she even spoke to him. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] The next time she talks to me, I'm going to punch her right in the mouth.

-[[ Big Show laughs. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] A high, hard one.

[ The Big Show ] She's little.. I bet I could palm her head..

[ Ken Kennedy ] You could.. You have an impressive hand size.

[ The Big Show ] ..And squeeze until slime comes out of her eye sockets.

-[[ Kennedy quickly changes the subject as Big Show stares at his hands, thinking about the power he has. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] So.. You think he's out of the Thunderdome?

[ The Big Show ] Nope.

[ Ken Kennedy ] I don't know.. I hit him pretty hard with that pipe.. I think he might be dead.

-[[ Big Show shakes his head.. ]]-

[ The Big Show ] He'll be there..

[ Ken Kennedy ] You sure?

[ The Big Show ] Yep.

[ Ken Kennedy ] We should probably go then.. Before he wakes up.

-[[ Big Show nods... And just as he does, The Undertaker begins to stir.. He pulls himself up to all fours and Kennedy and Show leave the area in a hurry... The Undertaker watches them as they leave, seething mad. ]]-

[ The Undertaker ] This shit ain't over..

-[[ He spits on the floor. ]]-

[ The Undertaker ] It'll end.. In the Thunderdome..

-[[ The mystery box hangs from the ceiling.. A ladder is positioned in the center of the ramp.. Just as Edge walks out onto the stage with Stacy and Torrie on each arm, Val Venis emerges from the back and blasts him from behind!! Stacy and Torrie scatter as Val Venis pelts Edge with rapid fire punches!! Edge is ducking and covering, but Val Venis is relentless in his pursuit!! He battles Edge to the edge of the stage and begins knee lifting him repeatedly, trying to send him over but Edge is fighting to remain standing!! Venis takes a step back and lunges... TACKLING EDGE OFF OF THE STAGE!! BOTH MEN GO FLYING AT LEAST FIFTEEN FEET!! They slam through two tables!! Both men lay there for a moment before Venis begins stirring.... Venis sits up slowly and Edge begins to pull himself up using the table wreckage.. Venis turns and punches Edge in the head.. Edge punches him back and they both get out of the wreckage.. Both men begin trading punches and Venis furiously grips Edge and whips him into the side of the stage!! Edge snaps back and Venis catches him around the waist, trying to German suplex him on the concrete, but Edge is fighting it!! He elbows Venis in the head and turns around.... KICK WHAM EDGE-A-CUTION!! Venis' head smacks on the concrete floor!! Edge sits up and turns Venis over.. He begins punching him in the face repeatedly, trying to hurt him even worse... Edge draws blood from Venis' eyebrow and stands up with a sick smile on his face.. Edge climbs back onto the stage.. He walks down the ramp as the fans boo loudly.. He grabs the ladder and folds it up before carrying it down and sliding it underneath the bottom rope... He's taking his time.. He follows the ladder in and sets it up in the center of the ring, just underneath the mystery box... Edge begins climbing and he's almost as the top.. When he feels the ladder shake!! Edge looks down in horror as Val Venis grips both sides of the ladder!! HE PUSHES IT!! Edge goes sailing over the top rope... AND THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!! Joey Styles and Don Callis scatter as table shrapnel goes all over the place.. Edge is not moving!! Venis grabs the ladder and sets it back up!! Val Venis begins climbing!! And someone grips his foot!! STACY KEIBLER IS IN THE RING!! Venis looks down and you can see the fury wash over his face!! Venis climbs down and Stacy begins begging him off... Venis keeps getting closer and Edge blasts him from behind!! The impact sends Venis careening into Stacy which sends her outside the ring through the middle and top ropes!! She lands flat and doesn't move!! Edge looks outside at her.. Shrugs his shoulders and pulls Venis back up.. He slings Venis into the turnbuckle, sending his shoulder crashing into the post!! Edge pulls him back out and whips him head first into the ladder!! The ladder goes crashing down and folds up flat and Venis lands on top of it.. Edge climbs out of the ring and onto the apron.. He begins climbing the turnbuckles.. My God.. He's going leg drop Val Venis on the ladder!! EDGE FLIES!! VENIS MOVES!! EDGE BREAKS HIS OWN ASS ON THE LADDER!! Edge begins yelling in pain.. Venis rolls to his feet and runs and kicks Edge right in the face!! Edge goes flat on the ladder.. And Venis begins climbing the ropes.... Oh no... He's going to do it!! MONEY SHOT ON EDGE.. ON THE LADDER!!! Edge doesn't move after the impact.. Venis clutches his ribs.. He has hurt himself.. To hurt Edge!! Venis sits up, bleeding profusely from his eyebrow.. He pushes Edge off of the ladder and picks it up... He sets it up and begins slowly climbing... He makes it about halfway up when Edge begins to move... Venis is almost at the top, slowly reaching for the box.. But Edge is up too quickly!! Edge runs and begins climbing underneath Venis.. He pushes his head between Venis' legs.. And falls backward...... ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP OFF OF THE LADDER!! Edge sits up slowly and grabs Val's legs...... And hooks the EDGE-LOCK!! Venis yells in pain but he's not tapping out!! Edge is not releasing the hold!! Edge keeps cranking it.. Venis is right at the ropes, but he doesn't bother going for them because they don't matter in this environment... Edge is trying to break Val's legs with this hold!! Blood streams down Val's face and finally, after a few minutes in the painful hold... Val Venis passes out from the pain... The mystery box is easy pickings for Edge!! Edge falls back on his ass, releasing the hold, laughing... He turns and begins climbing slowly... Referee Jimmy Cordaris is checking on Venis, trying to stir him up.. Venis' eyes begin to flicker open and closed.. Edge is near the top.. And he's got one hand on the box!! Edge is going to take it!! Edge is going to pull it down....... EDGE IS GOING TO DIE!! THE LADDER IS PUSHED OVER!!! THAT'S ORLANDO JORDAN!! ORLANDO JORDAN JUST PUSHED OVER THE LADDER!! The fans pop huge as Edge goes sailing and CROTCHES the top rope!! Jordan runs... And punches Edge so hard that he goes toppling over the ropes and to the floor!! Jordan turns and begins helping Venis.. Trying to get him to stand.. What's the relationship between these two competitors!? Venis is coming to.... And Orlando turns to the ramp.. And here comes the HARRIS BROTHERS!!! Ron and Don stomp down the ramp with a purpose and Jordan, even though he hates to do it, leaves Venis and escapes through the crowd.. ]]-

-[[ The Harris Brothers pick up Edge and throw him back in the ring.. Both Harris Brothers follow him in and Don Harris begins pushing Edge up the ladder!! Edge doesn't even know where he is!! Val Venis pulls himself to his feet and he runs blindly at Ron Harris and tackles him into the ladder!! The ladder topples forward and Edge and Don come crashing down as well!! Edge remains motionless and Don Harris picks himself up slowly... He shakes his head and cracks his knuckles... Ron and Don advance on Venis and Venis takes it to them!! He gives each man rapid fire punches, trying to topple them!! And then he goes low!! Kick to the groin of Ron Harris!! Venis turns and flings him out of the ring!! He kicks Don in the gut and hooks him for a piledriver.. But Ron Harris slides in behind him with a chair and cracks it into Venis' back!! Venis turns around, seemingly unfazed... And Ron Harris raises the chair... Venis catches it coming down... He kicks Harris in the gut and takes it!! CHAIRSHOT ON RON HARRIS!! He spins.. CHAIRSHOT ON DON HARRIS!!

Both Harris Brothers are FINISHED!! Venis throws the ladder down in front of him.. He turns around..... SPEAR BY EDGE!!! Val Venis lands ON THE LADDER!! Both men lay motionless after the shot.. Edge comes to and rolls over.. He gets up on all fours and pushes Venis off of the ladder.. He pulls the ladder up and sets it up.. Edge slowly begins climbing as Venis comes to.. But Edge sees him coming and dives off with a double axe handle!! Venis catches him..... SPINE BUSTER!!! Edge bounces at least a foot off of the mat!! Venis pulls him up.... PILEDRIVER!! Venis sits up, wipes the blood out of his face and turns his attention back to the ladder... He begins climbing again.. And Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson both roll in the ring to stop him!! They each grab a leg and Venis looks pissed off.. He hops down and shoves Torrie Wilson down on her ass.. He then spins, locks eyes with Stacy...... KICK WHAM PILEDRIVER ON STACY KEIBLER!!

Both men reach the top at almost the same time... They begin trading punches with the mystery box only INCHES away from their faces... Edge punches away at Venis' bloody face, but Venis keeps racking Edge's own head with lefts and rights.... And Venis staggers him!! Edge looks like he's going to FALL!!

But EDGE has been declared the winner!! Val Venis looks satisfied, loss or not... He climbs down the ladder and approaches Edge's fallen body.. He raises his foot.. And STOMPS THE BOX, shattering it into pieces around Edge's head... And then he begins laughing as he sees the prize that Edge is taking home....... THE SGW GIMMICK CHAMPIONSHIP is laid across his face....... Venis shakes his head and leaves the ring, feeling Edge has gotten exactly what he deserved.. ]]-
 

-[[ There is a knock on Kurt Angle's dressing room door.. Slowly, the door opens and Kurt Angle, the entire top of his head covered in a bandage is standing there, looking like he's been put on enough pain medication to kill a grown elephant... But he sobers up almost immediately when he sees who stands on the other side of the door.. Lance Storm, Mike Awesome, Elix Skipper, and Major Gunnz... Lance Storm raises his hand, which contains Kurt's medals dangling from it.. Kurt's eyes grow wide.. ]]-

[ Lance Storm ] Here are your medals, Kurt.. The only reward I seek is an apology for your accusations..

[ Kurt Angle ] I apologize, Lance... I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions..

[ Lance Storm ] I have something else for you, Kurt..

-[[ And Petey Williams is forced to the front of the line.. Petey looks pissed to even be there.. ]]-

[ Lance Storm ] Do it, Petey..

-[[ Petey grumbles under his breath.. ]]-

[ Petey Williams ] I'm sorry I took your medals, Kurt...

-[[ A pause.. Storm clears his throat. ]]-

[ Petey Williams ] And I'm sorry about the Canadian Destroyer on the stage..

[ Lance Storm ] That's better.

-[[ Storm continues. ]]-

[ Lance Storm ] Also, as a sign of respect.. For our American brethren.. We have decided to cancel Canadian Pride World Wide.. And instead.... Do this...

-[[ Kurt raises an eyebrow.. And Lance Storm super kicks him right in the face!! Team Canada swarms on Angle and begins kicking and stomping away at him, beating him down to the ground and refusing to allow him to fight back!! Awesome and Skipper hold Angle up while Storm and Petey stare him right in the face.... ]]-

[ Lance Storm ] This.. Is what you get, Kurt.. If you want to treat all Canadians as if we are one...

-[[ He grips Kurt's face.. ]]-

[ Lance Storm ] Then we WILL be!!

-[[ Petey thumps Angle on the forehead, laughing. ]]-

[ Petey Williams ] You hear that, Kurt? THE CIVIL WAR IS OVER!!
