WWF Superstars, Mar. 15, 1997

BRIAN PILLMAN INTERVIEWS...

Pillman comes up into the ring. Stone Cold isn't around. Pillman is laughing. He has on a t-shirt that has a half smily face and half skll on the front.

Pillman: That was FUNNY as anything I've ever seen! Great idea Sabrina! That'll teach Roxanne not to mess with you! Maybe Wild Chylde should take a hint, too! Alright!...Citizens of the Empire... please welcome at this time... my guest, Double J, Jeff Jarrett...

(Double J's country theme plays through the arena, as Jarrett makes his way down the aisle in his blinking outfit. Jarrett actually slaps a hand or two as he makes his way into the ring. Jarrett gets some cheers. The lights dim down, and the music notes flash over the canvas as Double J motions for Pillman to step aside and does his strut down center ring.)

Pillman: Welcome Double J. And welcome BACK!

Jeff: Thanks, Pillman. It's good to BE back.

Pillman: Double J, You said somebody would go out on a stretcher on Raw... and they did. But I don't think even the Informer knew it was going to be JJ Dillon. What was his problem? Bad mouthing you?

Jeff: Well, Pillman, the problems all started back at Royal Rumble. I went out and got beaten down by the Undertaker, as did Vader, and Dillon did nothing about it. He didn't care that his two biggest guns were getting hurt. Now how smart is that? Vader had a WWF title shot later THAT night, and I had an Intercontinental Title shot at Shawn Michaels if he won his match with Stardom. Dillon blew it there, and that was strike TWO against him! Number one came back at In Your House, when Dillon failed to produce the partner I was looking for. Strike 3 for Dillon came with that whole Outsider/DDP thing. Dillon went beyond his boundries and fired The Outsider from the nWo, even though Mr. Big had ordered the hit on DDP. That was it for Dillon as far as we were concerned. Him bad mouthing me on Raw was just the icing on the cake.

Pillman: So Double J... is Jim Cornette really Mr.Big?

Jeff: No, no, no! Cornette is not Mr. Big! Mr. Big is still with me, as you saw on Raw this week, though. You all know Mr. Big. You've seen him lots of times. When the time is right, he'll let everyone know that he is indeed Mr. Big, and the World Wrestling Federation won't believe their eyes!

Pillman: Do you think JJ will hold the nWo together with Graves and the 1-2-3 Kid? Y'know... together they kinda look like Abbot and Costello!

Jeff: Ha Ha Ha! As far as I know, we've seen the last of Dillon in the WWF! He's got injuries from Raw, and from what I hear, Mr. Big is in the final stages of having Dillon's WWF contract voided. The 123 Kid couldn't even beat The Blizzard, and we all remember how Double J put him out! I'd have liked for Graves to maybe break away with us, but I haven't talked to him since my injury, so I'm not sure what's going on there. I'd say the nWo is pretty much DONE! I built it . . . and I tore it down on Raw!

Pillman: So you ditched Dillon. He should hook up with Razor Ramon. That Latin greaseball got dumped TWICE and now so did Dillon! These two never cease to amaze me! But Jarrett... when it happened... did you hear those twisted Philadelphia fans!? They actually CHEERED the BlackJack..and then the Vader Bomb. That's something YOU'RE not familiar with. What's your reaction to that?

Jeff: Well, first, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Dillon leached onto Razor. Or vice versa! Ha Ha Ha! But as for the fans cheering me, I don't know if it was just those oddball Philidelphia fans, or what. In the airports and the like, a lot of people have been showing their support for ol' Double J. I'm not really sure what I did to earn their cheers, but I've certainly done enough to earn their respect. If the fans want to start cheering Double J because they know that every time he goes to the ring they're in for a great show, that's just fine. I deliver everytime I get in the ring, and I think a quite a few people found that out on Raw when I fought the Undertaker. I don't ask for cheers from the fans, I just ask for their respect, and if they want to show it by cheering for me, then that's fine. But don't expect to see some sort of "new" Double J. With fan support or not, I'm still gonna be taking it to Bret Hart, Mr. Perfect, The Undertaker, Diesel . . . and I'm gonna take it to Ric Flair, The Blizzard, and Razor Ramon, just like I always have.

Pillman: Jarrett, I've never been a fan of yours. And I don't see it happenin' either, but even after a month off, it STILL took three Tombstones from the Underachiever before you could be pinned. That's sayin' something. I remember you doing the same thing to that coward Shawn Michaels. You had HIM beat too! Double J... what's going on? Why aren't the wins fallin' your way?

Jeff: It's just like I was saying a minute ago. You aren't a Double J fan, like most of the fans aren't, but even YOU have to be impressed by what you see in the ring! I kinda had my heart set on capturing the IC title at WrestleMania, and it's a little dejecting to get tossed out in the first round. Hopefully, whoever does win the title will offer up a shot to me, cause all them guys in there know that I'm deserving of a shot. As far as the wins go, sometimes things don't just go your way. People said that I had no chance against Mr. Perfect, but I'll bet even HE respected me after that. People said I couldn't beat Shawn Michaels, but I gave him a match that he'll never forget. It could be that I wasn't focused before, dealing with the nWo stuff or the Horsemen stuff, or having Sunny out at ringside as a distraction. Or it could be that the referee's of the WWF are screwing me over. I don't know. We all know that Piper doesn't like me.

Pillman: Yeah, referee's can be a problem. But not everyone can be as unbiased as Sabrina Savage when they referee! And it was pretty obvious that Sting was trying to stop you from winning that match. I thought the Horsemen were through with you! NOW what do they want?

Jeff: I don't know what the hell Sting was trying to pull back on Raw! Sneaking up behind me during my match, trying to lay me out? Stinger, I hope you're listening, cause if you got something you want to bring to Double J, step up to the plate and bring it!

(Suddenly, a spotlight hits the rafters of the arena, where Sting is standing!! The fans boo up toward Sting. Sting just stares down at Jarrett, never moving.)

Jeff: Yep, there he is up there, trying to impress God knows who. Come on down, Sting, and say what you have to say!

(Sting looks down at Jarrett, but doesn't move.)

Pillman: Ah, forget about him! Is your date still on with Pam Anderson at WrestleMania?

Jeff: Ha Ha Ha!! You know that it is! Pamela was looking forward to watching me win the Intercontinental title, but that's not gonna happen now, at least not at WrestleMania. But Pam will still be there, and she wants more than anything to see me leave with a win under my belt. If Sting has a problem with me, I'll be more than happy to meet him in the ring in Chicago! Anyone else that is interested, call on up and I'll give you a fight! But you know, Pamela was watching Raw last week, to see my big return, and she saw this Alantra make a challenge to Sunny about seeing who the crowd likes more, or something. Well, Pam would LOVE to get involved in such a competition, if it were to happen, because there is NO DOUBT that Pam would blow Sunny, Alantra, and anybody else right out of the water!

Pillman: Alright Double J... before we close out... do you have any final comments?

Jeff: As a matter of fact, I do. WWF . . . take a good look in the ring right now. And Pillman, you take a look, too. Cause the next time I come down here and stand with you in the ring, I will have a WWF title belt around my wasit. Be it the World title, the Intercontinental title, or half of the tag team titles. Folks, Jeff Jarrett's time has come, and as soon as my shot finally comes . . . I'll be packing WWF gold.

Pillman: There you have it... nWo no MO'! Back to his roots... haha no Heart Attack, not your bleach job... DOUBLE J, JEFF JARRETT!!!

(Double J struts down the center of the ring once more, rasing his arms to the crowd and laughing, before he climbs out of the ring and returns to the dressing rooms. The fans give him some applauds... more then last time.)


ANNOUNCER'S TABLE

Heart Attack: I've got something to say... that reminded me. It's to your friend Atlantra...! Atlantra... I'm not interested in finding out who has the most admireres. I have ENOUGH PROBLEM ALREADY! I think you're going to have enough problems with Pamela Anderson, so forget it! Sorry, but I'm not participating!
