-[[ Maria is pacing back and forth in her dressing room.. She's already dressed for her match, wearing a tiny pair of pink shorts and a matching top.. She keeps running her hands through her hair and mumbling to herself.. The Harris Brothers are seated on a couch in the room.. Gene Snitsky is sitting in a chair with his shoes off, wiggling his toes and laughing like he's constantly hearing the funniest joke ever on repeat.. ]]-

[ Maria ] Oh, man.. Oh, man.. Oh, man...

-[[ She shakes her head, looking upset. ]]-

[ Maria ] I'm gonna lose the match.. I'm gonna let Chavo down!

[ Maria ] This sucks.. I don't wanna cost Chavo his job!

-[[ Don Harris is holding a newspaper in front of his face.. He lowers it. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] Shut yer trap.. Ya' ain't gonna lose with us around.

-[[ He folds up the paper and puts it down next to him.. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] 'Sides... We got business with Mister Christian.. Fer what he did at Supremacy..

-[[ He goes to crack his knuckles and remembers the broken hand Kurt Angle gave him last week.. ]]-

[ Maria ] Huh? What kinda' business?

-[[ Harris smiles.. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] Murders n'shit.

[ Maria ] Oh.

-[[ Her shoulders slump suddenly.. ]]-

[ Maria ] But I'm still gonna lose!

-[[ She crosses her arms and pouts.. ]]-

[ Maria ] I shouldn't have put myself in the match.. Maybe everyone's right..

-[[ She pokes her lip out.. ]]-

[ Maria ] Maybe I AM stupid!

-[[ She begins to cry. ]]-

[ Maria ] I'm lower than a scab!

-[[ She puts her face in her hands and begins bawling.. Snitsky stands up and walks over to her barefoot.. He puts his arm around her.. He uses his finger to push her chin up and looks her in the face.. ]]-

[ Gene Snitsky ] Don't.. You.. Everrrr... Say thaaat...

[ Maria ] I am... I am!

[ Gene Snitsky ] ...Nooo... There is nothing... Lowerrr... Than a scab...

-[[ Two more hands land on her shoulders... She turns and sees both Harris Brothers.. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] He's right, kid.. So stop yer whinin' and cryin'.. Yer gonna do fine tonight.

-[[ The door to the dressing room opens up and Chavo Guerrero walks in with Pepe in his hand.. Oddly enough, the one night he's scheduled to wrestle, he's wearing jeans and a Viva La Raza t-shirt.. He walks up to Maria gives her a hug.. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] Hey, kid.. You doing okay?

-[[ She shakes her head.. ]]-

[ Maria ] I don't want to cost you your job, Chavo...

-[[ He looks down.. ]]-

[ Maria ] I can't help it! It was different when it was only me in danger, Chavo!

-[[ Chavo looks touched.. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] Maria... You've just got to have faith..

-[[ A pause. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] Do you think I sat around and worried before my first world title match?

-[[ He shakes his head.. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] Nope.. I went in.. Did my job.. And won..

-[[ She nods.. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] Do you think I had second thoughts when I went in the ring against five other Solid Gold Wrestling legends in a six-pack challenge for the world championship?

-[[ She looks at him, hopeful. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] Well, actually, I did... But I went in.. And I won my second world title!

-[[ He takes her hand in his.. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] On those two magical nights.. I overcame the odds, Maria.. I broke through the glass ceiling... I became a champion.. A legend.. A hall of famer.. And tonight.. We.. Will make history.. WE will break through the glass ceiling.. Together.. Okay?

-[[ She nods.. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] And if we don't... I'm glad I went out fighting for a good cause.. For you.. For SGW..

-[[ He smiles and pats her on the head.. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] I'll see ya' later tonight.. Need anything before the match, let me know.

-[[ He walks out of the room, leaving her with the Harris Brothers and Snitsky.. ]]-

[ Maria ] You guys can sit down now, I guess.. I feel a little bit better..

-[[ A cell phone rings.. Don Harris reaches into his coat pocket and holds it to his ear. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] Yeah.

-[[ A pause. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] You got it.

-[[ He turns the phone off and pockets it again.. He looks at Snitsky and Ron with a look of regret.. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] It's time, boys.

-[[ Snitsky and Ron look slightly unmotivated, but begin looming in on Maria.. ]]-

[ Maria ] Guys.. What's going on?

-[[ Don's voice is cold. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] Close yer eyes.

[ Maria ] Why? Are we playing hide and seek?

[ Don Harris ] Yeah, kid.. That's the ticket.

-[[ The flashing lights can only mean one thing... There's an ambulance in the parking lot.. EMTs are rushing a stretcher toward the open end of the ambulance.. When you get close, you can see that Maria is strapped to it with a neck brace.. She's covered in blood.. Jillian Hall and Chavo Guerrero, Jr. run along beside the stretcher with the EMTs.. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] Please, Maria.. A name! Anything.. Help us!

-[[ Maria opens her mouth but only manages to gurgle blood all over herself.. Chavo wants to look away but can't.. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] Don't worry, Maria.. We WILL find who did this to you.. I promise!!

-[[ They load Maria into the ambulance and shut the doors.. The ambulance waits for a bit.. Chavo and Jillian stand side by side, looking at it, expecting it to leave at any second... ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] Chavo.. You don't have to go through with the match--

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] Yes, I do, Maria... More than ever now..

-[[ He looks down, it pains him to talk about it.. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] If she-- ...When she comes back.. She'll have her job waiting on her.

-[[ Jillian looks ready to burst into tears.. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] I don't understand how someone could.. Do that.. To another person..

[ Val Venis ] What the hell is going on!?

-[[ Chavo looks ready to cry as well.. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] It's Maria, man....

-[[ Venis doesn't wait for further explanation.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] Who the fuck did it?

-[[ There's the sound of a beer can opening.. Steve Austin is sitting in a folding chair by the back entrance.. He's in his wrestling tights and a Stone Cold t-shirt.. There's an ice pack on his knee.. He takes a drink from his beer.. He's been watching the entire time without saying a word.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] Who was with her?

[ Jillian Hall ] The Harris Brothers.. Snitsky..

-[[ She shakes her head.. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] There's no way anyone could have gotten to her..

-[[ The beer can clatters on the pavement and Austin stands up, the ice pack slides off and hits the pavement as well.. Austin picks up the chair and folds it together..... He hobbles toward them with the chair in his grasp.. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] Nobody had to get to'er, darlin'..

-[[ Austin looks pissed.. Yet.. Calm.. ]]-

-[[ Venis turns to Chavo.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] What are you going to do for a partner now?

-[[ Chavo shakes his head.. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] I guess I'll go it alone... Like I always have..

-[[ He looks down at the stick horse in his hand.. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] No... You're not doing this by yourself...

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] Then who will be my-

[ Jillian Hall ] Me.. I'll do it.

[ Val Venis ] No, Jillian... What if something happens? Who's going to run this place?

-[[ She turns to Val with a stern voice.. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] I'm perfectly capable of handling myself in the ring, Val.. I won't break.

-[[ She looks over at Chavo.. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] Besides... Edge and I have unfinished business..

-[[ Austin turns and begins to walk away.. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero, Jr. ] Steve... Where are you going?

-[[ We cut backstage where Todd Grisham is standing by with Edge and Christian.. ]]-

[ Todd Grisham ] Edge and Christian.. You're moments away from your big match that will decide what direction your careers are headed in after World Warrior... If you two win, Chavo Guerrero Junior is gone from Solid Gold Wrestling forever.. And Maria Kanellis' tenure as interim owner... Is over..

-[[ Edge and Christian nod, acknowledging that this is true. ]]-

[ Todd Grisham ] But in an interesting development we've discovered only moments ago.. Maria has been injured and rendered unable to compete in the match... And she's been replaced by Jillian Hall... Your thoughts?

-[[ Edge and Christian must have already heard the news because they don't seem surprised.. ]]-

[ Christian ] Our thoughts? Do you think this changes things?

-[[ Christian waves his hands in front of Grisham's face.. ]]-

[ Christian ] Because it doesn't..

-[[ Christian puts his hands on his hips, below the tag team title that hangs from his waist.. ]]-

[ Christian ] After tonight.. Chavo Guerrero's gone for good.. And from what we've heard..

-[[ Edge and Christian both laugh.. ]]-

[ Christian ] Maria's gone whether we win OR lose.

-[[ Edge slaps Grisham on the chest, chuckling.. Grisham winces in pain. ]]-

[ Edge ] The only thing that's changing about this match, Todd...

-[[ Edge rubs his hands together.. Smiling that sick smile. ]]-

[ Edge ] Is Jillian Hall is now gonna get what she was deprived of last week on Shock....

-[[ Grisham gulps.. ]]-

[ Todd Grisham ] What's that?

-[[ Edge laughs out loud.. ]]-

[ Edge ] She's going to be UNDER me!

-[[ Christian laughs.. Edge leans down in Grisham's face.. ]]-

[ Edge ] Bank on it.

-[[ Fade. ]]-
 

-[[ Goldberg and the Undertaker stand quietly in the corners, staring at each other from across the ring.. The bell rings to signify the beginning of the match and they stalk toward each other.. Goldberg begins talking trash as the Undertaker stands there and stares him down with no emotion.. Bill Goldberg pulls back and slugs the Undertaker right in the face.. Undertaker turns his head back toward Goldberg and punches him right in the face! Goldberg barely flinches and hits the Undertaker with another skull cracking punch to the jaw.. Undertaker turns back toward Goldberg and delivers an uppercut to the throat! Goldberg grabs his throat and backs away coughing and when he turns around, the Undertaker is bouncing off the ropes and coming at him with a flying Deadman clothesline! Goldberg goes down hard and rolls out of the ring.. Goldberg walks around the ring, holding his neck and he turns around in time to see the Undertaker flying over the top rope with a Deadman plancha! He takes Goldberg straight down to the floor.. Both men lay motionless for a few seconds before the Undertaker does the Deadman sit-up and rolls his eyes... He pulls himself to his feet and grabs Goldberg.. He throws Goldberg into the ring and follows him inside.. Goldberg begins to stand up and the Undertaker begins drilling with shots to the head and a big kick to the chest.. Goldberg stands up regardless and fires off a shot to the Undertaker's head.. He hits him again and again and finally whips Undertaker into the ropes... Hart-Killer kick! The Undertaker goes down hard and almost immediately executes the Deadman sit-up! But Goldberg kicks him right in the face! Undertaker goes back down.. Goldberg wanders over to the corner and begins sizing him up... The Undertaker sits up again and stands slowly.. And gets speared down! Goldberg springs up, roaring like a beast from Hell and he picks up Undertaker in a power slam position and carries him to the side of the ring where the casket rests... He casually drops the Undertaker onto the apron and steps through the ropes.. He uses his foot to push the Undertaker into the casket.. Goldberg reaches to pull the lid down.. And the Undertaker's gloved hand emerges from the casket and grips Goldberg's throat! Goldberg yells in fear and slaps Undertaker's hand away before reaching into the casket and pulling the Undertaker out by his hair.. He hooks the Undertaker around the head and lifts him up.. Oh my God.. He can't do this.... JACKHAMMER INTO THE CASKET! The stand where the casket is resting collapses, sending the casket flat onto the ground where it splinters a bit.. And Goldberg and Taker both disappear inside!! The lid closes shut.... And.... We have the most fucked up draw ever. Idiots. ]]-
 

-[[ "Stone Cold" Steve Austin walks through the backstage area with a noticeable limp.. He carries a steel folding chair in his hand and the look on his face is nothing less than pure intensity.. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is all business.. Austin walks forward with no end in sight until he comes across the Spirit Squad, who seem to be standing in the hallway for no reason at all... Austin stops and uses the chair like a cane to hold himself up on his knee.. They're not paying a bit of attention to him.. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] You seen the Harris Brothers or Snitsky anywhere?

-[[ They all turn in unison.. They look confused by the question. ]]-

[ Nicky ] ..Val Venis sucks?

-[[ Austin's expression doesn't change a bit.. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] I'm only gonna ask ya' one more time...

[ Steve Austin ] Any o'you bastard seen Snitsky or the Harris Brothers come through here?

[ Kenny ] Randy Orton's going to win the world title tonight?

[ Mikey ] YEAH!

[ Nicky ] WOO!

Mikey charges at Austin and Austin grabs him by the back of the head and slams him face first into the wall!! Austin turns and decks Nicky right in the jaw! And then he nails Johnny as well! All five members of the Spirit Squad have been left laying.. Austin stands over them when he hears the voice from behind him.. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] Heard yer lookin' fer us..

-[[ Austin turns around, eyeballing the Harris Brothers and Snitsky.. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] What's yer fuckin' business?

-[[ Austin's voice is flat, full of venom.. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] I guess I.. Just wanted to see the three tough guys that thought it was a damn good idea to damn near beat a girl into a coma for.. From what I can tell.. No good reason... And well.....

[ Don Harris ] ..Well?

-[[ Austin looks down.. Then nods.. ]]-

[ Steve Austin ] I got my look.

-[[ Harris smirks.. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] Does your ass really think we're who you need to be comin' after?

-[[ Austin doesn't understand.. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] Us... We're paid to do a job..

-[[ Don reaches up and removes his sun glasses so he can look Austin in the eye.. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] And fer a few weeks.. We got paid real well to watch Maria's ass..

-[[ Harris shrugs. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] But then we got paid better... To see her ass out the door.

[ Steve Austin ] Gimme a name.

[ Don Harris ] I ain't givin' you shit.

[ Steve Austin ] Then.. I guess...... I'll take it from ya'..

-[[ Harris smiles.. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] The person who did it.. Is somebody you know real well..

-[[ Ron and Snitsky inch up closer to Austin.. Looking ready to fight.. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] And if you want any more information than that.. Then yer shit out o'luck..

-[[ Don points behind Austin.. ]]-

[ Don Harris ] Just like you are now.

-[[ Austin slowly turns his head.... CHAIR SHOT! Chris Masters blasted Austin with the chair he used on Mitch! Austin goes down in a heap with a gash opening up over his eye.. Blood begins dumping profusely out of the wound as Masters stands over him breathing heavily.. Masters throws the chair down and walks away, as does Snitsky and the Harris Brothers.. Steve Austin lays motionless on the floor, a pool of blood forming beneath his head.. What the hell is going on here tonight? ]]-
 

-[[ Edge and Christian stand in their corner with the SGW Tag Team championships in their hands.. They look at them like this may be it for them.. And then begin laughing and hand the championships off to Nick Patrick.. He shows the titles to Chavo and Jillian and then hands them off to the timekeeper.. The bell rings to begin the match.. Chavo Guerrero and Christian are going to start the match.. They meet in the center of the ring and begin circling each other.. Christian has a cocky smile on his face as Chavo Guerrero appears to be all business for the first time in his entire career.. They lock-up and fight over it for a bit before Christian takes over with a headlock.. Christian cinches it in tight and Chavo immediately begins elbowing Christian in the ribs! Christian is lifted nearly a foot off the ground with each shot and Chavo backs into the ropes and fires Christian off into the other side! Chavo leapfrogs him and spins around, catches Christian coming back around.. Drop kick! Christian gets right back up and takes another drop kick! He gets up again.. Arm drag! Hip toss!

Edge and Chavo meet in the center of the ring and Edge blasts him with a punch to the head! Edge begins punching and kicking away at Chavo.. He delivers a solid kick to Chavo's midsection and when Chavo bends over, Edge nails him with a knee lift that nearly makes him do a backflip.. Edge drops down next to Chavo and begins punching away at his head and then blatantly chokes him as Patrick warns him to stop.. Edge lets up and begins choking him again.. Edge stops and sits up.. He pulls Chavo up into a sitting position and hits him in the face with a few more punches.. He delivers another and blood begins pouring from Chavo's eyebrow.. Edge goes for it like a shark going for blood.. The entire side of Chavo's face is coated with blood now.. Edge stands up and pulls Chavo to his feet.. He whips him into the ropes and goes for a backdrop but Chavo stops and hooks Edge's head between his legs.. Gory Special! Chavo hit him with the Gory Special! Chavo covers him! One! Two! Christian breaks the count! Christian begins kicking away at Chavo while he's on the mat and Edge is already up, wobbling a bit from the impact.. Chavo fights back to his feet and Christian whips him into the ropes.. Chavo holds on to the top rope and Christian charges at him and Chavo backdrops him over the top rope and to the floor! Chavo turns around and walks right into a kick... Edgeacution! Edge covers him.. One! Two! Thre-- Chavo got a shoulder up! Edge sits up, yanking at his hair...

Chavo goes for a clothesline but Christian ducks it, catches Chavo from behind.. UNPRETTIER! Christian covers him....... No referee! Christian stands up, throwing a fit.. And Chavo slowly sits up.. Christian goes to pick him up and Chavo begins elbowing him in the midsection again.. Chavo whips Christian into the ropes and ducks a clothesline.. Christian turns around and Chavo hops on him.. Tornado DDT! Christian rolls out of the ring, holding his head, and Chavo turns around leapfrogs a spear! Edge turns around.. Kick wham brain buster on Edge! Edge is FINISHED! Chavo turns and points to the corner.. Jillian is begging to be tagged in! She wants to get Edge back for what he's done to her! The fans are going nuts... And Chavo tags her in! Jillian runs into the ring like a house of fire, lifts Edge's upperbody up.... And lays down underneath him.. What the hell? Nick Patrick barely comes to.. One.. Two.. Three.. Wait.. What? WHAT THE FUCK!? Chavo Guerrero just stands in awe on the corner.. The fans are in complete and utter silence.. Jillian pulls herself from beneath Edge and slides out of the ring.. She walks up the ramp and disappears into the back with no fanfare whatsoever.. Christian is on the outside, having seen the whole thing, and even he is in disbelief.. Chavo hops off the apron and puts his hands on his hips, looking out at the fans.. He's been screwed.. Out of his CAREER... And so has Maria!! The fans give Chavo a standing ovation as he walks up the ramp.. ]]-

[ Scott Steiner ] Do you think shit like Taco Bell enters this body?

-[[ Jonathan Coachman strolls up out of nowhere with a Taco Bell bag in one hand and a taco in the other.. He's chewing away at it with the sour cream and taco sauce dripping down his chin.. Shane Douglas and Steiner both look at him like they can't believe this shit... The Coach looks around at both of them. ]]-

[ Jonathan Coachman ] Guys.. As the kids on the street say.. What's..... UP?

-[[ Steiner slaps the taco out of Coach's hand.. And then he takes the Taco Bell bag from him.. Before he does anything with it, Mickie takes it from him and removes a drink from inside.. Steiner takes the bag back and smashes it between his massive hands.. ]]-

[ Scott Steiner ] Get this shit out of my fuckin' face!!

-[[ He turns to Mickie. ]]-

[ Scott Steiner ] The fuck is that shit? You better tell me right now, you bitch.

[ Scott Steiner ] Dr. Pepper? It better be diet, you fat shit.

-[[ She nods. ]]-

[ Mickie James ] It is.

-[[ Storm stares straight ahead.. ]]-

[ Lance Storm ] Yes, Shane.. I was screwed over.

-[[ He slowly turns his head toward Douglas.. ]]-

[ Lance Storm ] Austin did not win that match.. The final fall, if he wishes to call it that.. Was not relevant.

-[[ Douglas nods, smiling and listening intently.. ]]-

[ Lance Storm ] He knew he was going to lose the match.. He intimidated Jimmy Cordaris, a good man that chose to show his true colors tonight, into giving him what few falls he did receive.. And when Jimmy Cordaris refused to give in any longer... He assaulted him viciously...

-[[ Storm clenches his fist and looks at it.. ]]-

[ Lance Storm ] I never submitted.. I never tapped out.. What happened tonight was a fraud.

-[[ He exhales deeply and looks down.. ]]-
