Ric Flair: One hundred percent!?! One HUNDRED percent!?! What does it matter, Cole!?! WOOO!!

[--
Val is breathing heavily, and he has a sick smile on his face as he speaks.....--]

Val Venis: You see, Michael Cole, the Right to Censor is about getting rid of everything that is immoral, everything that is wrong with the world... And most importantly, everything that is wrong with Solid Gold Wrestling....

Michael Cole: And that is?

Val Venis: Let me finish, Cole... There are many things wrong with Solid Gold Wrestling.. We've got a man who CHEATS to win as our World Champion, we have chair swinging tag team champions.... And we have a title belt that is based solely around.... EXTREME wrestling... And if there's one thing in SGW that the RTC is against.. It IS extreme wrestling....

Steven Richards: Right...

Ivory: Right....

Michael Cole: What do you plan on doing about it?!

Val Venis: Cole, I'm standing before you today to make a challenge for next week on Shock... To Johnny the Bull... And just to ensure that you accept the challenge... We'll make it a street fight, falls count anywhere, but there IS a catch!! Oh yes...

Steven Richards: Oh yes...

Val Venis: If I beat you, Johnny, your extreme behavior ENDS.... Forever...

Christian: Excuse me? Is your name Tattoo? Are you seeing airplanes? Cause I so totally swear you're living on Fantasy Island!!

[--
Tajiri begins laughing his ass off as Kanyon just looks around all confused... Suddenly, the door opens up again and Shane McMahon steps in, none of the others have any idea what he wants until he speaks....--]

Shane McMahon: Boys, I've been watching this non-sense all night over the stolen belts, and if there's one thing I hate, it's situations like this... So, Tajiri, can I see your belt?

[--
Tajiri hands him the tag title reluctantly...--]

Shane McMahon: Christian?

[--
Christian hands Shane the other belt... Shane looks at the belts, seems to think things over a bit and then... Hands one belt to Edge.... and the other belt to... KANYON!?!?!--]

Shane McMahon: Say "hello" to the new tag team champions, Edge and Kanyon!! Now, here's a few rules, boys, you're defending the belts on Shock next week, but here's the catch, I know you dont like each other, so... If Kanyon costs Edge the match, or if Edge costs Kanyon the match, then you're both going to be suspended, get it? got it? Good.

[--
Shane leaves the room and Kanyon has a big girlish grin on his face while looking at the belt....--]

WINNER: CHRIS BENOIT


[--The Golden-Tron suddenly flashes to life and the fans take notice... Flair is still congratulating the bloody Benoit on his title victory, and Austin is still splattering blood all over the ring with Billy Gunn and a masked man... What's Billy's connection to Austin anyway? Anyway, on the Golden-Tron we see none other than SGW's owner, Shane McMahon... He speaks...--]

Shane McMahon: Congratulations, Austin, you're officially the shortest reigning SGW World champion in history! Hahahaaa.. But let's not dwell on that, it seems that we just cant have a World Title match without interference out the wazoo... So, I figure I'll make a match tonight... A match for the World Title at the pay-per-view, No Remorse... Since Benoit is the champion, and Kurt Angle is the number one contender, that seems to be the logical choice, but let's look at a few other options here... Steve Austin just lost his title in a match with tons of interference, and technically, Ric Flair never even lost his match because he was not pinned and he didn't submit... So, let's see... Angle and Benoit for sure, but let's add one more person... Austin or Flair... Flair or Austin... I guess we'll just have to find out next week on SHOCK!! When Austin and Flair battle it out to see who the OFFICIAL NUMBER ONE CONTENDER IS!! The winner goes to the pay-per-view, no questions asked!! Haha... Oh, and congrats on the win, Chris.... Hahahaa...

[--Shane gives the camera a cocky smirk and the show ends as Benoit holds up the World Title belt with Flair applauding in the background....--]
