-[[ Fade up the SGW logo.. ]]-

-[[ When it fades out of sight, you're greeted with a shot of the interior of Jeff Jarrett's office.. He's sitting behind his desk in a navy blue dress shirt with his hands outstretched in front of him with his fingers locked together.. Jarrett's face is one of seriousness.. On the edge of the desk next to him, sitting with her legs crossed is Jillian Hall.. Lining the wall behind him is Vince Russo, the Harris Brothers, Alex Shelley, Rob Conway and Michelle McCool.. Jarrett clears his throat and begins to speak.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] Fans and fellow Solid Gold Wrestling superstars..

-[[ Well, this already sounds important.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] I sit here before you today with an announcement.. An announcement that could, quite possibly, be the most important announcement in the history o' this company......

-[[ A pause. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] Maybe even.. In the history o' the entire business.

-[[ Everyone in the room's eyes are settled on Jarrett, listening intently.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] No one in this room knows the announcement I'm about to make.. And so far as I know.. None o' them dirt sheets have picked up on it.. This is somethin' I decided on my own.. Somethin' I've kept to m'self.. And is somethin' that will change the face o' Solid Gold Wrestlin' forever..

-[[ Another pause.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] But before I get into that.. I'd like to address tonight's show and a few events that occurred last week at Total Destruction.. First, I'd like to address the All-Pro Wrestlin' World Heavyweight Championship bein' brought into enemy territories here in Solid Gold...

-[[ Jarrett doesn't say anything, he just nods slowly, thinking.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] I don't like it.. But I'll allow it.. Until next week..

-[[ What? ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] Where Carlito Caribbean Cool will meet the winner of tonight's steel cage main event in the middle of the ring in the main event of Saturday Night Stroke.. APDubya title.. Versus SGDubya title.. And when it's all said and done and the smoke has cleared... Those championships will be unified..

-[[ Everyone in the room seems impressed with this decision.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] Also, I've heard some rumblin's in the back that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin has his sights set on Carlito.. And I don't imagine Carlito's above tryin' to take Austin out before Austin takes him out.. So tonight.. Carlito, Steve Austin and Lance Storm ain't allowed to touch each other... And durin' that cage match.. I'm barrin' ALL interference..

-[[ Jarrett smiles.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] Anybody gets involved in that match.. And they will be FIRED! HA HA!

-[[ Jarrett points into the camera.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] That's what ya' get when ya' disrespect me, Storm.. Ya' coulda' had it all.. But now.. I'm leavin' ya' alone in that steel cage with a rabid pit bull.. And I hope ya' tear each other limb for limb.. As for who wins?

-[[ He shrugs. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] ..Hell if I care.

-[[ Russo raises an eyebrow behind him, a little surprised.. Even Jillian looks taken aback.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] That brings me to my big announcement..

-[[ Everyone tenses up, waiting on him to drop the bombshell. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] When I left World Championship Wrestlin' all them years ago.. I knew I'd achieve great things.. But I never realized exactly.. How great.. And I sit here before you all tonight.. A ten time world champion.. And the owner of the greatest wrestlin' promotion to ever grace this damn planet..

-[[ A pause.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] I have faced the best.. And I have conquered.. The best..

-[[ Russo's face has gone pale.. Realization sets in.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] I have done everything there is to do..

-[[ Russo begins shaking his head, but he doesn't have the balls to interrupt Jarrett.. He looks around at the other people in the room.. Don't they realize what's happening!? No.. They don't! ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] And it's with great pride.. And no regrets....

-[[ Russo is finally audible.. ]]-

[ Vince Russo ] Aw.. Shit.. No..

-[[ Jarrett ignores him.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] That I am announcin' my retirement from the wrestlin' business..

-[[ There's a gasp throughout the room.. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] You're WHAT!?

-[[ Shelley and Conway lean in and talk amongst themselves as Russo just shakes his head, shocked.. This has absolutely devastated him.. Jarrett continues as his troop falls apart around him.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] Effective July 30th.. WrestleBrawl II will be my last event as the owner of Solid Gold Wrestlin' before I leave the business and move on with my life..

-[[ Jillian hops off the desk, looking down at Jarrett.. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] You can't leave, Jeff!! You just... Can't!!

-[[ Jarrett stands up behind his desk.. He looks at her.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] I have to.. I've done it all..

-[[ He walks off camera, muttering one last line.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] There's nothin' left to prove.

-[[ Everyone stands in the office without him.. Shocked to the core. ]]-
 

-[[ Stevie Richards begins the match with Joey Ryan.. Joey immediately goes for a clothesline but Stevie ducks it and forearms Joey in the back.. Joey goes into the ropes and Stevie runs up behind him, pushing him into the ropes and pulling him backward into a roll-up! One! Joey Ryan kicks out with force and is up quickly.. They both stand and Joey nails him with a clothesline.. Stevie goes down and Joey Ryan quickly picks him up.. Joey kicks him in the gut and tags in Colt Cabana.. Cabana and Joey lift up Stevie for a double suplex.. And drop him down hard.. Joey gets back on the apron as Angle looks on from the outside.. Cabana makes a quick cover.. One! Two! Stevie kicks out.. Cabana pulls Stevie back to his feet and whips him into the ropes.. Cabana ducks for a back body drop.. But Stevie kicks him in the chest and runs back to the ropes.. And Kurt Angle trips him!! Stevie turns to talk trash at Angle but Cabana runs up behind him and nails him with a forearm to the back.. Cabana beats him down and drags him into the center of the ring.. Cabana drops an elbow across his midsection.. Stevie contorts in pain.. Cabana pulls him back up and takes him in a headlock.. Cabana tags in Joey.. Joey kicks away at Stevie's ribs.. Cabana goes back out to the apron.. Joey backs Stevie into the ropes and chops him in the chest.. He knees him in the gut and whips him into the ropes but Stevie reverses it and hits the ropes himself..... And Angle trips him again!! Stevie staggers forward into a running drop kick from Joey Ryan!! Joey Ryan motions for Cabana to do something.. And we realize what that is when Cabana tries to get in the ring and Charles Robinson has to run up on him and tell him to get back on the apron.. While Robinson is distracted.. Kurt Angle slides into the ring!! Angle begins sizing up Richards........ ]]-

-[[ AND JOHN CENA'S MUSIC HITS! ]]-

-[[ Kurt Angle turns around, looking pissed.. And he dives out of the ring!! Angle runs up the ramp to meet Cena halfway, but Cena isn't coming out!! Angle gets to the top and looks behind the curtain.. IT WAS A TRICK!! Stevie dives and tags in BENOIT!! Benoit begins chopping away at Joey Ryan, he kicks him in the gut, turns and knocks Cabana off of the apron and Robinson turns back around just in time to see Benoit duck a punch from Joey.. GERMAN SUPLEX!! He stands him up for another..... AND THEN DROPS HIM INTO THE CROSS FACE!!! Angle begins sprinting down to the ring to break it up..... BUT HE'S TOO LATE!! JOEY RYAN TAPS OUT!! Angle stops at the apron, furious.. Benoit and Richards celebrate as Cabana pulls Joey Ryan out of the ring.. John Cena has cost Team Angle the win without even being present!! ]]-
 

-[[ We fade up in the backstage interview area.. We immediately see "The Franchise" Shane Douglas with a big, cocky grin on his face.. Standing next to him is the SGW Television Champion, Ken Kennedy and next to him is The Big Show.. On Kennedy's arm is his rarely seen valet, Lollipop.. God knows where she always is, but dammit, she's here tonight.. "The Franchise" strokes his goatee and speaks into the microphone.. ]]-

[ Shane Douglas ] HELLO, SOLID GOLD WRESTLING!! THE FUCKING FRANCHISE.. IS BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN!! LAST WEEK.. YOU SAW TODD GRISHAM GET.. HA HA HA.. FUCKING FIRED!!

-[[ Douglas laughs again. ]]-

[ Shane Douglas ] AND THAT MEANS.. THE FUCKIN' FRANCHISE.. IS THE NUMBER ONE MICROPHONE CARRYING MOTHER FUCKER.. NOT THAT I EVER WASN'T.. BECAUSE I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN!! BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS HAD THE INTERVIEW MARKET.. FUCKIN' FRANCHISED!! HA HA HA!!

-[[ Douglas turns to Kennedy, Show and Lollipop.. ]]-

[ Shane Douglas ] AND I'M STANDIN' HERE.. WITH THE TELEVISION CHAMPION.. KEN FUCKIN' KENNEDY!! THE BIG SHOW!! AND HIS OWN PERSONAL PAIR OF TITS!!

-[[ She leans in.. ]]-

[ Lollipop ] My name.. Is Lollipop.

-[[ Douglas' eyes go wide.. ]]-

[ Shane Douglas ] YOU'RE NAME DOESN'T GOD DAMN MATTER TO THE FUCKIN' FRANCHISE!! THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS ABOUT YOU.. IS WHAT'S BELOW YOUR CHIN.. AND ABOVE YOUR GOD DAMN VAGINAL ORIFICE!! IN SHORT.. I MEAN YOUR FUCKIN' TITS!! YOUR TITS!! YOUR GOD DAMN FUCKIN'.. TITS!! NOW WHATCHAGOTTASAYBOUTHAT!?

-[[ She stares at him in awe.. ]]-

[ Lollipop ] ..What?

[ Shane Douglas ] YOU HAVE A GOD DAMN DIRTY, WHORISH MOUTH!!

-[[ She suddenly looks highly offended.. Douglas moves on. ]]-

[ Shane Douglas ] KEN KENNEDY.. HA HA HA.. LAST WEEK AT TOTAL DESTRUCTION.. YOU CAME UP FUCKIN' SHORT.. AGAIN!! YOU ALWAYS GET NEAR THE TOP.. YOU ALWAYS TOUCH THE GLASS FUCKING CEILING.. AND THEN..... YOU BANG YOUR FUCKING HEAD ON IT!!

-[[ Kennedy looks down, shaking his head.. ]]-

[ Shane Douglas ] WHY CAN'T YOU WIN THE BIG ONE, KENNEDY!? WHY CAN'T YOU GET THE JOB DONE!? WHY DO YOU ALWAYS REACH FOR THE BRASS RING.. AND FALL.. JUST FUCKIN' SHORT!!? WHY!? WHY!? FUCKIN' WHYYYYYYY!?!

-[[ Douglas has brought his A-game tonight.. Kennedy leans into the microphone.. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] Shane Douglas.. The fact of the matter.. Is THIS.. Why have I fallen short on my few shots at the championship? This I can NOT give you a definite answer to.. The first one.. Obviously, I squandered away my opportunity to put the belt around the waist of that failure, Randy Orton.. The man who I once called my friend.. Until last week..

-[[ A pause.. Kennedy looks genuinely hurt over Orton turning on him.. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] And last week.. All I can tell you is what I told "Stone Cold" Steve Austin after the match.... I tried my best.. The stars just weren't aligned correctly, I suppose.. But--

[ Shane Douglas ] BUT MAYBE.. YOU JUST DON'T HAVE.. WHAT IT FUCKIN' TAKES TO BE A WORLD CHAMPION IN SOLID GOLD WRESTLING!! HOW ABOUT THAT!?

-[[ The Big Show frowns, getting irritated with Douglas blatantly slamming Kennedy for no reason.. Kennedy turns around and whispers to Show to calm down.. Kennedy turns back to Douglas.. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] I've come a long way since I debuted here in Solid Gold Wrestling, Douglas.. I've held three of Solid Gold's prestigious championships and while none of them are the big one.. I am damn proud of them....

-[[ A pause.. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] DAMN.. PROUD.. OF THEM!!

-[[ Douglas takes a step back.. Eyes wide. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] I've had my eyes on the prize since day one.. And yes, I have fallen short in all of my endeavors.. BUT! I have never considered myself less than a main eventer.. I am a man that has risen to the occasion in big match situations.. And I do believe.. I AM WORLD TITLE MATERIAL!!

-[[ Ken Kennedy takes a step toward Douglas. Forcing Douglas a step back. And then Kennedy turns toward the camera. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] And I.. Will prove it!

-[[ A pause.. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] I stand here right now.. With God as my witness! And I lay down this challenge.. FOR WRESTLEBRAWL!! I want a match with any former Solid Gold Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion.. From the past.. Or present!! Bret Hart, Bill Goldberg, Gangrel.. TOM CRUISE!! OR EVEN YOU, DOUGLAS!! I WILL TAKE ON JEFF JARRETT HIMSELF!!

-[[ Kennedy is shaking with intensity.. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] Any of you.. All of you.. Bring it on..

-[[ He points toward the camera.. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] But I promise you.. You will not relive your glory days.. You will not experience the success you experienced when you hoisted that championship high in the air as the announcer cried your name.. OH NO!! NO!! The only thing you will experience.. The only thing you will hear... Is..

-[[ He yanks the microphone from Douglas' hand.. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] AAAAAAAAAND THE WINNER OF THE MATCH.... AND STILLLLLLLLLL SGW TELEVISION CHAMPION...... MISTERRRRRRRRRRRRR............ KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNEEEDDDYYYYYY!!!

-[[ A pause.. He raises his eyebrow and tilts his head back.. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] .................KENNEDYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

-[[ He looks back down into the camera, his face red.. ]]-

[ Ken Kennedy ] ..Think about it!

-[[ Kennedy storms off the set with Big Show and Lollipop in tow.. ]]-

Striker stands up, looking pissed and he yanks Kenny straight up off of the mat.. LEARNING CURVE! He covers him.. One! Two! Three!! Matt Striker has won the match!! ]]-
 

-[[ We cut backstage where we see Chris Benoit walking down the hallway with Woman on his arm, walking confidently next to him.. Suddenly, bouncing out from behind Chris Benoit is Stevie Richards, pumping his fists.. The Blue Meanie waddles behind them with a big smile on his face.. Stevie is slinging his hair all over the place.. Benoit stares straight ahead as he walks, almost as if Stevie isn't there.. ]]-

[ Stevie Richards ] Yeah! We did it, Benoit!!

-[[ Stevie is very excited about this win.. ]]-

[ Stevie Richards ] Can you believe it!?

-[[ He punches the air.. ]]-

[ Stevie Richards ] Wham! Bam! Cross face!

-[[ He grabs Benoit by the shoulder.. ]]-

[ Stevie Richards ] You are the man!

-[[ He calms down a little bit when he realizes Benoit doesn't share his excitement.. ]]-

[ Stevie Richards ] What's wrong, man? We won!

-[[ Stevie smiles really big. ]]-

[ Stevie Richards ] We WON! Yes!

-[[ Benoit stops in his tracks.. ]]-

[ Chris Benoit ] I realize that, Steven..

[ Stevie Richards ] Well, come on, man... Celebrate!

[ Chris Benoit ] Now.. Is not the time.

-[[ Stevie looks at the Meanie and back at Benoit.. He's confused.. ]]-

[ Stevie Richards ] ..Why not?

-[[ Benoit hesitates.. Finally delivering.. ]]-

[ Chris Benoit ] Your friend.. Raven.. Is still injured..

-[[ Stevie nods.. ]]-

[ Chris Benoit ] Perhaps... You should go to him.

[ Stevie Richards ] ..But--

[ Chris Benoit ] But nothing.. Just go..

-[[ Stevie still seems unsure... ]]-

[ Chris Benoit ] I will visit him later.

-[[ Stevie nods.. Offering his hand.. ]]-

[ Stevie Richards ] Thanks for being there, Chris..

-[[ Benoit accepts it, they shake. ]]-

[ Chris Benoit ] It was.. The right thing to do.

-[[ Richards nods and turns to leave.. The Meanie goes with him.. Woman speaks.. ]]-

[ Woman ] Go on to the dressing room, Chris.. I'll go get some drinks.

-[[ Benoit nods.. She gives him a kiss on the cheek and they go their separate ways.. The camera follows Benoit on his way to the dressing room.. After a few moments, he reaches his destination and opens the door.. He goes inside and removes the Hardcore championship from the chair he left it laying in while he wrestled.. He throws it onto a table and sits down.. Benoit runs his hands over his head, trying to relax, but failing miserably.. ]]-

[ Chris Benoit ] What.. Do I have to do....

-[[ The events that have been transpiring are taking a toll on him.. However, before he can continue dwelling on those facts.. There's a knock on the door.. Benoit stands up, weary of this.. ]]-

[ Chris Benoit ] ..Nancy?

-[[ No answer.. Benoit assumes a stance, ready for battle.. He walks up carefully and rips the door open and finds himself face to face with....... CHARLES ROBINSON! Charles Robinson, in his referee garb takes a step back when he sees Benoit's stance.. He does NOT want to get his ass kicked.. ]]-

[ Chris Benoit ] Charles... What do you want?

-[[ Robinson swallows hard.. ]]-

[ Charles Robinson ] Chris.. Man, you need to get out to the parking lot..

[ Chris Benoit ] What? Why?

[ Charles Robinson ] It's your wife--

-[[ Benoit shakes his head, pushing Robinson out of the way.. ]]-

[ Chris Benoit ] What the hell.. Would she be doing out there!?

-[[ Robinson watches Benoit leave with a bit of fear in his eyes.. Benoit is a man on a mission, stomping through the backstage area with purpose in his step.. He makes it to the back exit that leads to the parking lot and throws the door open.. And he sees his wife laying on the pavement, not moving.. Benoit's eyes go wide.. ]]-

[ Chris Benoit ] .....NANCY!

-[[ He begins running toward her.. But is quickly cut off.. By Alex Shelley and Rob Conway!! Conway and Shelley take a few steps up on Benoit.. Benoit looks at them, back and forth, ready to begin brawling.. ]]-

[ Alex Shelley ] Why the hurry, Wolverine?

-[[ Benoit's voice is so low, it's almost a hiss. ]]-

[ Chris Benoit ] ..What have you done?

-[[ Conway looks back at the woman laying on the pavement and back at Benoit.. ]]-

[ Rob Conway ] What? That?

-[[ He laughs.. ]]-

[ Rob Conway ] Nothin' we won't do to you, bud... Only worse!

-[[ Benoit immediately kicks Conway in the gut and shoves him away before turning and chopping Alex Shelley right across the face!! Shelley backs away, holding his face.. And Benoit runs toward his wife.. He kneels down next to her.. She's face down.. ]]-

[ Chris Benoit ] ..Nancy! ....NANCY, WAKE UP!!

-[[ He turns her over and-- It's not Nancy Benoit.. It's JILLIAN HALL IN A BLACK WIG!! Benoit's eyes go wide... And she fills them with MACE!! Benoit backs up, clawing at his eyes... And Alex Shelley BLASTS HIM from behind with a base ball bat!! Chris Benoit goes down, clutching the back of his head, tapping his foot on the ground instinctively, groaning, almost growling in pain... Alex Shelley begins strutting around Benoit's body, twirling the bat. ]]-

[ Alex Shelley ] HOOOOOOME RUN!

-[[ He struts some more, a look on his face that tells you, he knows he's hot shit. ]]-

[ Alex Shelley ] Whoa, daddio! ..COOL, DADDIO!

-[[ Jillian stands up, wearing Woman's dress.. She removes the black wig and throws it aside.. And Vince Russo emerges from the shadows with Nancy.. In her bra and panties... They used her actual dress, no replicas used in this plan... Jillian looks down at the dress she's wearing with a sick look on her face. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] This is so.. Tacky!

-[[ Russo throws Woman down on Benoit.. She immediately begins trying to check on him despite her near-naked appearance.. Russo squats down next to her.. ]]-

[ Vince Russo ] Tell ya' man when he wakes up.. That this is the future o' the business..

-[[ She looks up at him with hate in her eyes.. ]]-

[ Vince Russo ] We're bringin' enta'taaaainment.. Back to the main event..

-[[ Russo stands up.. He, Shelley, Conway and Jillian leave as Woman screams for help.. ]]-
 

-[[ Goldust and Kurt Angle circle each other in the ring for a bit.. Goldust goes to lock-up but Angle immediately executes a go-behind and hooks Goldust.. German suplex! He hits him with another.. And another.. And Angle stands up, staring Goldust down as he tries to stand.. Angle is sizing him up.. Goldust stands with his back turned to Angle.. And Angle runs up behind him.. Release German suplex! Goldust lays there, clutching his head and Angle begins waiting on him to stand again.. Goldust sits up and Angle runs up and kicks him in the back before grabbing him by the face.. And twisting at it!! Angle is trying to rip Goldust's face apart!! The paint is peeling off around Angle's fingers.. Angle then lets go and slugs Goldust across the face.. He hits him again and pulls Goldust up.. He goes for a quick Angle slam but Goldust slips out and goes behind him.. He hooks him from behind.. CURTAIN CALL!! NO!! Angle slips out of THAT and grabs him.. ANGLE SLAM!! Angle springs up.. Rips down the straps and grabs Goldust by the leg.. ANKLE LOCK!! Goldust tries for the ropes.. But Angle drops down and hooks his legs around Goldust's........ And Goldust taps out!! Kurt Angle has made Goldust submit to the ankle lock!! ]]-
 

-[[ We fade up backstage where we see Edge staring into the camera with Trish Stratus by his side.. Tyson Tomko is looming behind them with a stone-face look.. Edge is moving so much, he's almost hopping in place as he stares into the camera.. There's no interviewer in sight.. This is all Edge.... Wearing his trench coat, tights and the All-Star Championship Wrestling world title around his waist, he begins to speak.. ]]-

[ Edge ] Ever since this show got started.. All I've heard is Jeff Jarrett this.. Jeff Jarrett that.. No one can believe Jeff Jarrett is retiring... Well, you know what?

-[[ Edge points at himself.. ]]-

[ Edge ] I CAN!!

-[[ He has a cocky smile on his face.. ]]-

[ Edge ] And do you want to know why?

-[[ He nods, smiling.. ]]-

[ Edge ] I'll tell you.

-[[ He continues.. ]]-

[ Edge ] Because he's finally found the man who can keep Solid Gold Wrestling afloat without having him around..... The one man who knows what it takes to be a champion in this business.. The one man who did something last week at Total Destruction that no one else in this company could do when he beat... BEAT.. DESTROYED CHRISTIAN!!

-[[ Edge yells through his teeth.. ]]-

[ Edge ] I'm TALKIN' ABOUT ME!!

-[[ Edge's anger quickly fades.. He smiles again.. ]]-

[ Edge ] And tonight.. I've got a huge announcement of my own..

-[[ He nods again.. ]]-

[ Edge ] Oh yeah, you heard me.. And not just any announcement..

-[[ A pause.. ]]-

[ Edge ] An announcement that will put Jeff Jarrett's retirement.. To shame!

-[[ Edge pulls Trish close, holding her against him.. ]]-

[ Edge ] Maybe even.. The greatest announcement of all TIME!

-[[ Edge stops, still smiling.. ]]-

[ Edge ] But now.. Isn't the time..

-[[ He looks Trish in the eyes and licks his teeth.. ]]-

[ Edge ] Oh, don't worry.. You'll get your announcement later tonight..

-[[ He looks back up at the camera.. ]]-

[ Edge ] In the meantime.. Trish and I will be in my dressing room..

-[[ He laughs.. ]]-

[ Edge ] Stuck together like two dogs in heat! HA HA HA!

And then Carlito drops a knee into his midsection.. Michaels immediately kips up and arms drags Carlito to the mat! Carlito raises up on one knee, touching the back of his head and looking pissed..

-[[ Jarrett smirks.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] Ya' act like I'm leavin' ya' behind..

-[[ He walks up closer to the desk.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] You're comin' with me, ya' know..

-[[ She nods.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] It's just time to move on..

-[[ He turns his back to the desk.. Pacing now. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] What else can I do? Stick around another few years and beat guys I already beat twice over? Win a world title I already won? For the fourth time? What happened at Total Destruction put everything into perspective.. When I went in there.. And walked out without the championship.. I felt somethin' I ain't never felt after a match..

-[[ He turns back toward her.. She's listening.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] ..Nothin'.

-[[ He walks closer to the desk again.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] That tells me it's over.

-[[ She looks ready to begin bawling at any second.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] Screw the title.. Screw Orton.. Austin.. Storm.. Screw'em all..

-[[ He's dead serious. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] I'm done.

-[[ The phone on Jarrett's desk rings.. Jillian reaches over and picks it up.. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] ..Jeff Jarrett's office.. This is Jillian.

-[[ Someone on the other line speaks.. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] W-..what?

-[[ More speaking.. Jarrett raises an eyebrow, seeing her surprise. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] Okay... I'll... I'll tell him..

-[[ She shakily hangs up the phone and looks up at Jarrett.. ]]-

[ Jeff Jarrett ] Well... The hell was that?

-[[ She looks like she's having trouble spitting it out. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] ..Ric Flair.

-[[ Jarrett's jaw drops. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] He said he heard your announcement..

-[[ Silence. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] And he'll be here next week...

-[[ Jarrett just stands there in shock. ]]-
