RESULTS: Monday Night Raw Mar. 24, 1997


DERRICK STARDOM

(The Badd Boy Derrick Stardom is sitting in one of the Super Boxes at the very top of the Los Angeles Sports Arena. He's by himself, surrounded by three T.V. monitors that are broadcasting the event.)

Stardom: I'm getting the hang of this. Sabrina used to handle all of my amenities... my reservations... my plane tickets... my matches...you name it. But by doing it myself... NOW I CAN DO IT RIGHT! The World Wrestling Federation has turned into STABLEFEST 97! Even the World Champ has joined a stable.

(Stardom motions around at the empty superbox.)

Stardom: Let it be a metaphor! The Badd Boy Derrick Stardom stands with NO stable! Last week on Raw, I had half of the Empire kissin' canvas and seein' STARS! JoBo... you overweight, out-a-shape, first-grade speakin', compost pile-wreakin' BUM... buy yourself a lottery ticket! Because your streak of good luck will be runnin' out VERY soon! But top of the list... the Empire... ALL OF THEM! I'm talkin' Stone Cold... I'm talkin' Time Bomb! And I'm especially talkin' EMPEROR EDDIE GILBERT!

(Stardom sips his drink, then tosses the glass over his shoulder and smirks when he hears it shatter.)

Stardom: BUT... this is what I want FIRST! Gilbert... I'm gettin' rid of your body guards! Power... and Glory! They don't look so tough to me! Didn't take but a smack in the chops from BBDS to lay 'em out! I'm challengin' Power and Glory! (He again motions to the empty superbox.) But I don't want it to be a TAG match! What BBDS is looking for... is a HANDICAPPED MATCH! That's right! Power and Glory vs. the Badd Boy Derrick Stardom... the greatest Intercontinental Champion of ALL time! And if I win... I get FIVE minutes alone with the Emperor Eddie Gilbert! So name your stake in all this... and step on up! You're next in line at the 'BANK!'

(Stardom snaps his fingers... and a waitress brings him another drink.)

Stardom: I haven't forgotten my championship form. I haven't forgotten how to live. I've only forgotten... what's her name? Hahahah!

(Derrick takes a sip from his drink and sets it down on the tray in her hands. He then pulls out his shades and puts them on.)

Stardom: And I WILL be at WrestleMania, thanks to Heart Attack.... Top of the LINE dressing room... and a limo ride to take me to it! I've already got TWO tickets to the BIG SHOW! There's a LOT of celebrities that are going to be there. But there will ONLY be ONE Badd Boy Derrick Stardom! And that's one more BBDS then Power and Glory can handle! LIGHTS....

(Heart Attack comes into the superbox.)

Heart Attack: HI! I've got something ELSE for you!

Stardom: Something ELSE? What is this... Christmas in MARCH!?

(She hands him a BIG manilla envelope.)

Heart Attack: Actually... it concerns... 'what's her name!' See, I KNOW NOW why you're having so many money problems. She was STEALING from you the ENTIRE time that she was managing you!

Stardom: STEALING? Like... EMBEZZLEMENT?

Heart Attack: Yup!

(Derrick opens the envelope up to show photocopies of receipts, bills and checks. Everything seems doubled and over-priced.)

Stardom: LOOK at this!

Heart Attack: She took money out of your winnings!

Stardom: How did YOU come into knowing this?

Heart Attack: I have my resources in the upper office! We'll leave it at that!

Stardom: You'd BETTER leave it at that! You have a bad enough rep as it IS!

Heart Attack: NO! I don't mean like that. I just have a contact.

Stardom: Well... we're going to DO something about Sabrina! And maybe we'll do it at WrestleMania! And YOU'RE comin' with me!

Heart Attack: (happy) I AM?!

(Stardom tosses out a ticket... and it flutters through the air into Heart Attack's hand.)

Stardom: I'll see YOU in the LIMO!

Heart Attack: THANK YOU!

Stardom: LIGHTS OUT!

(The lights in the Superbox click off!)


JOBO PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

ZoBo: Ha Ha!!! Everyone didn't think he could do it, but look at him now. First Stardom, then Funk, and now the Undertaker. My rookie has made it to the final four, and he's only been in the league for a few months. Now, dead man, get ready for JoBo to show you what he's all about.

JoBo: JoBo destroy the dead man.


UNDERTAKER PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

(The Undertaker sits in a crypt-like cave alone. The only light are candles that give off and eerie, dim glow.)

Undertaker: As Tyr rests herself from her match against Womankind...I prepare myself to face a great advisary...JoBo. Yes, he is strong...but I have the Creatures to back me in times of great need.

(Dirge comes from a lofty stairwell nearby. This time he wears 18th century clothes with a long over coat and a black and white mask over his face.)

Dirge: I thought I would see how you faired...

Undertaker: Very well...thank you.

Dirge: Is there anything I could bring you?

Undertaker: Nothing...but I shall bring my Creatures of the Night the Intercontenental Championship.
