WWF Superstars, Mar. 8, 1997

KING'S COURT

"Welcome, peons, to another edition of the RATINGS ROCKET known as the King's Court! As we all saw at the Countdown to WrestleMania, Derrick Stardom forfeited his Intercontinental title, which has started a tournamet for the belt! And my guest this week could be one of the favorites to go through the competition and win the title! Now please show some respect, you bunch of morons, and welcome him to the King's Court! Here is . . . "The Blizzard" Adrien Blades!

(The Blizzard walks out of the back and joins the King.)

KING: Thanks for being on the King's Court this week, Blizzard.

BLIZZARD: It's my pleasure, King.

KING: Now, we know that an IC title tournament is about to begin, and you claim that not only will you be in the tourney, you'll go through all the other wrestlers to take the title! That could mean facing Derrick Stardom, who has beaten you before! That could mean facing Double J, who has also beaten you before! What makes you so confident going into the tournament?

BLIZZARD: I have improved since then...it might sound like a damn cliche but I have improved. Double J...Derrick Stardom....they are all great athletes...some of the best the WWF has today...but I know...that if the luck is with me that night...I can beat them...and become the I/C Champion.

KING: OK, now Blizzard, we saw you propose to Sunny back at the Royal Rumble. But that's the last we've really heard of your engagement! When's the wedding? What are your plans for that?

BLIZZARD: The wedding is up to Sunny...I said it before...I told Jim Ross...I want it to be a perfect day for her...she decides the day...and it looks like it's gonna be this summer. There...yet another scoop for you. (Blizzard smiles)

KING: Blizzard, later today on Superstars, you go against former WWF Champion Ric Flair, in a match that you actually requested! What made you request the match with Flair, and how do you think it'll go for you later today?

BLIZZARD: If for nothing else then to get respect!!! I demand respect here in the WWF. I am a good wrestler...yet no one looks at me. And today...I'll prove they are all wrong.

KING: OK, Blizzard, thanks for being on the King's Court. Any closing remarks?

BLIZZARD: Yeah sure...all you punks (Looks at the crowd)...are gonna soon see me as the I/C Champion...whether you like it...or not !!!


The Blizzard leaves the King' Court set and walks back, passing by Dok Hendriks as he goes. Dok has a microphone...

DOK: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Eric Bischoff!

(The Blizzard passes angrily by as Bischoff strolls down to the interview area, laughing and smiling at the crowd.)

DOK: Now, Mr. Bischoff, you told us last time that you had found someone to manage, and that you'd announce that person sometime soon! So, come on already! Who is the person you have found?

ERIC: Dok, if I may, I'd like to address something else first. It seems that a rumor has been started somewhere that myself and Sunny, of all people, are having some kind of relationship.

DOK: I've heard about that.

ERIC: Well, I want the entire world to hear right now that this rumor is entirely, 100% NOT TRUE! I don't have anything going on with Sunny, she will tell you the same, I'm sure. It's not true, and I don't know how it got started.

DOK: OK, now back to the manager question. Who is it that you will be managing?

ERIC: Well . . . I'm not really . . . I shouldn't . . .

DOK: Come on, MR. Bischoff! You don't have anyone, do you? You're just running off at the mouth!

ERIC: Fine! Later today on Superstars, you'll see exactly who Eric Bischoff has landed! And grab a chair, cause you'll NEED to be sitting when you see this!

(Bischoff adjusts his jacket and leaves the interview area, not smiling or laughing this time.)

DOK: Well, thank you very much. Mr. Eric Bischoff everybody! And now, please welcome my next guest.....
