DIESEL PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

Sensei and Diesel are here, Diesel is pacing restlessly. He looks at the camera, and speaks in a low tone:

Diesel: Jarrett, for months you've been an annoyance, butting your nose in where it wasn't wanted or needed. We didn't see you there, but the attack on the Sensei was obviously masterminded by you.

(The Sensei nods and taps his staff on the ground)

Diesel: You've been clamoring about how you "never get a title shot". Well, you've been on the shelf for a long time but you've kept your nose clean, and you appear to have said 'adios' to the gang of thugs you called the nWo, so maybe you're wising up. This is your chance to prove whether you really deserve title shots.. or whether you're just a pretender.

(Sensei looks at something off camera, and nods, then signals to Diesel)

Sensei: Come, the match is beginning.

Diesel: Look out Jarrett, because you're about to get run over.


ANNOUNCER'S TABLE

As everyone is getting ready for the first bout...

Pillman: (looking at Heart Attack) HAHAHAHAHAHA! (looking over her shoulder) Hahahaha!

Publican: (looks also) Hahahahah!

Heart Attack looks over her shoulder... to see the masked and armored woman standing with her arms folded and staring at Heart Attack from just behind the retaining barrier.

Pillman: Haha! We might see you get the DEVIL sign again! This is GREAT!

Heart Attack stands up and turns to face her. The woman just stares back.

Pillman: C'mon! You've got a JOB to do. SIT DOWN!

Publican: What are you worried about HER for?

Heart Attack shakes her head at the woman... then turns her back... and sits down.

Pillman: Are you ready now? This is the first time we've seen Big Daddy Cool since he beat Sid... his new NETWORK buddy... at the Countdown.

Publican: He won't keep that title much longer!

Pillman: Of course NOT! The Giant...at WrestleMania is takin' from him! Big deal...he's with the Network! It's going to make it THAT much sweeter when the Giant beats him at WrestleMania!

Heart Attack: This'll will be a big thing for Jarrett... no nWo!

Pillman: It's GOOD that he's not with the nWo anymore.

Heart Attack: Definitely.

Pillman: Well... Jarrett is going to SOFTEN up Diesel for the Giant! This will be GREAT! Diesel's first Network match.. and he'll LOSE! Let's get up to the ring for the introductions...

The camera pulls away, showing the armored woman still behind Heart Attack, staring at the back of her head.

Big Daddy Cool, Diesel
w/the Sensei, Sarah D. and Wild Chylde

The Match:
Double J's country music starts to play and he comes down, wearing his white blinking jacket and strutting and laughing. Vader, Cornette and the Roadie follow him out. Jarrett turns and looks at them...

Jarrett: Guys, I want to do this on my own. If I can't win by myself, I might as well not even win.

Cornette and the others contemplate for a moment... then they all turn and leave. Double J gets up into the ring and motions for the referee to step aside and he struts down the middle of the ring as music notes flash around in the ring.

There is the sounds of a big rig starting, and unmistakable blues music pours through the sound system! Diesel and Sensei walk out of the curtains at the top of the aisle, Diesel holding his hands above his head, and making the signal for the Jackknife as the crowd cheers!! The Sensei is carrying his staff again, and the pair walk down the aisle slapping hands. Sensei takes the belt from Diesel, and gets in position in the corner, where he can see the announcer's table. Diesel walks up the steps to the ring, and vaults OVER the top rope, landing on his feet, ready for anything.

Jarrett walks up and gets into Diesel's face as the other Network members get into Diesel's corner. Diesel backs up a bit... then runs into Jarrett with a shoulderblock! Jarrett hits hard and Diesel follow him down, grabbing a leg and twisting it in a leglock... but before he gets it on... Jarrett braces himself... and pushes with his leg, knocking Diesel back...

Jarrett gets up to his feet and is ready to go after Diesel... when he sees STING! Sting comes out wearing his black trenchcoat, and black and white make-up. He begins circling the ring... and Jarrett keeps a close eye on him....

Diesel CLOTHESLINES the distracted Jarrett! Double J staggers... but doesn't go down. He dives at Diesel's leg and hits a single leg takedown!! The Champ goes down! Double J grabs one of Diesel's leg's and twists it around, perhaps wearing him down for the figure four!

Double J spins around with a step-over toe hold... then he waves his hand over his head.... and begins to PUT ON THE FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK.....
