[--The SGW logo flashes across the screen and we cut to a shot of the capacity crowd in attendance for tonight.... The fans are roaring in anticipation for the show, but their cheers quickly turn to boos as the sound of glass shattering echoes throughout the arena... The boos are almost deafening as the new SGW World Heavyweight Champion, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin makes his way to the ring with Debra at his side and the title belt over his shoulder.... Austin gets in the ring and grabs a microphone.... The fans continue booing as Austin speaks.....--]

Steve Austin: .......What?

[--
The fans erupt in even louder boos....--]

Steve Austin: I said.... What?..... What?...... What?

[--
The boos are damn near painful to hear now....--]

Steve Austin: SHUT THE HELL UP!! My name.... Is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and I don't deserve to be treated like this!! What? I said my name is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, I AM the SGW World Champion, and I DON'T DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE THIS!!

[--
Debra nods in approval as Austin stomps around the ring soaking in the boos....--]

Steve Austin: Now, last week really pissed me off! I beat that little mealy mouth bastard, Chris Benoit.... Right in the middle of the damn ring!

[--
The fans continue booing.....--]

Steve Austin: And after I kicked his ass decisively and won this SGW World Heavyweight Championship.....SHUT UP!! Now, as I was sayin', after I kicked his ass and won this belt, that little son of a bitch, WHAT? I said that LITTLE SON OF A BITCH, Shane McMahon came out here and demanded that I face Benoit again in a steel cage tonight!! Steel cage, regular match, it don't mean a damn thing to me, cause Benoit's gonna get his ass whipped!! And in that cage, I've got a damn big surprise for Chris Benoit... What is that surprise? What? You'll find out when Chris Benoit does, and that's the bottom liiiiin----

[--
Chris Benoit's music begins blaring throughout the arena... The fans give a mixed reaction as Benoit isn't actually the most liked guy around.... Benoit walks out onto the ramp with a microphone and a smug look on his face... He raises the microphone and speaks....--]

Chris Benoit: Austin.... Austin... Austin... Granted, you are the champion, you are talking pretty big for someone who got their ass kicked last week... Now, Austin, I understand that you don't feel you shouldn't have to fight me again... Because after all, it took help from your wife and from the belt itself to put me down for the one....two...three because you know you can't do it yourself!!

[--
Benoit laughs at Austin as Austin stands in the ring.. Austin pulls the title belt off of his shoulder and begins looking at it... He looks up and speaks into his own microphone....--]

Steve Austin: I beat you, Benoit!! I beat you!! You don't deserve this damn belt!!

[--
Benoit laughs again and speaks...--]

Chris Benoit: I beg to differ, Austin, in fact, the way I see it, you're just keeping that strap warm for me... And tonight, in that steel cage... Feel free to try your best.... and PROVE ME WRONG...

[--
Austin throws down the belt and his microphone and charges up the ramp at Benoit, but SGW security and officials rush down the ramp and keep them separated before they can touch each other!! Austin yells about killing Benoit while Benoit just lets the officials carry him away as he laughs like a mad man.... We cut backstage as we see a close-up of Austin yelling for Benoit's blood....--]

Finally, the door of the limo opens up and it's.... RIC FLAIR!! And he's got some hot women with him, one on each arm, as he walks into the building yelling and "Wooo-ing" about how he's going to kick Angle's ass... The fans are cheering loudly for him... Flair gives off one more "WOOOOO!!" as he enters the building.....--]

[--We cut backstage where Michael Cole is standing by with Kurt Angle....--]

Michael Cole: Kurt Angle, last week on Shock you brutally attacked Ric Flair... Why?

Kurt Angle: It's actually pretty simple, Michael... Ric Flair's time in SGW has come and gone, he held the World Title, he lost it to Jeff Jarrett, and now it's time for him to go on about his way, oh it's true! And if he's not willing to go on his way on his own, I'll be more than willing to give him some hands on directions to the local nursing home!

Michael Cole: Doesn't it matter to you that you may have injured his ankle and that maybe, just maybe this match is going to be very lop-sided in your favor?

Kurt Angle: Oh, it concerns me, because an Olympic Champion deserves better than an opponent like Ric Flair... And I definitely deserve better than a CRIPPLED Ric Flair!! Oh, it's damn true!! And believe me, Cole.... If he's not already crippled.... He will be after tonight...

[--Angle stares menacingly into the camera and we fade out....--]

Shane McMahon: What the hell are you doing here? Get out of my damn chair!!

Arn Anderson: Shane, I think you know damn well what I'm doing here... And if you don't, then I'll say it's going to be a hell of a lot clearer by the time I'm done with you... and your little incarnation of my federation...

Shane McMahon: Whatever you say, old man, but the New Era kicked your ass a long time ago, and this time, it'll be so much easier... Let's see how you like this, "Mr." Anderson... You and Steve Corino next week on Shock.... With a special guest referee....

Arn Anderson: Oh, I wonder who that'll be, Shane...

Shane McMahon: Well, stop wondering, "Mr." Anderson, because that special guest referee... Is going to be..... ME!! Now, get out of my office before I....FIRE YOU... Hahahahaaa....
