STING PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

"First of all, let me get to some of the things I skipped over on Raw. Warrior, what can I say? First of all, let me set you straight. I did NOT turn my back on you! If Arn Anderson hit you that's a problem between YOU and HIM. You could have come up to me and said 'Stinger, we've got a big problem here', but you didn't. I turn on the TV, and I see you've joined the Mega Powers, leaving me behind. And then I toss you the bat, and see if I can trust you. My former tag team parter. THREE time champions. And you nail me with the bat like you didn't even know me. Warrior, I told you before that I don't have a problem with you, and I still don't. But start watching what you say from now on.

And Enforcers, I'm not a hard man to find. If you want a piece of The Stinger, come down and get it!

And finally, Diesel. Big Daddy Cool, I'm not sure the purpose behind this match. I didn't ask for a match with you, and if I did you can rest assured that I'd have asked for a title match. You didn't ask for the match. All I can say is that when it's go time, Diesel, you had better have all your tanks filled. Cause the Stinger has been on a roll lately . . . and I kinda like the feeling! OWWWWWWWWW!"


THE MAIN EVENT
NON-TITLE BOUT
Big Daddy Cool, Diesel
w/Jade & the Sensei
vs.
Sting

The Match:
Sting enters through the crowd, wearing his usual outfit and carrying his bat. He gets a mixed reaction from the fans. Sting climbs into the ring.

The sounds of a semi starting up, and Diesel's blues music greet him as he walks out of the curtains, with Sensei and Jade by his side. He holds up the World Heavyweight Title belt as he walks down, slapping fans hands. When he gets to the ring, he turns and hands the belt to Sensei, then bows to him and climbs up into the ring to start the match.

Just as the bell sounds... Double J enters! He pulls up a chair and takes a seat at ringside, holding his I/C belt. The Sensei and Jade are standing over near the announcer's table.

Brutus: These two are some of the best wrestlers that the WWF has to offer! Diesel is PURE strength... and Sting is PURE technique! This should be a great match!

JR: Oh, you called that one, Brutus! A CLASSIC encounter perhaps!

Diesel moves in to Sting and grabs him by the arm... yanking him into a short arm clothesline! Sting staggers a bit... and is BODY SLAMMED! Sting starts to get up... and is taken ALL the way up.... JACK-KNIFE!!! THE FANS GO NUTS!!! But Diesel doesn't cover! He pulls Sting up by the arm... SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE!!!

Diesel HOLDS the arm... and gives him ANOTHER! Diesel keeps laying into Sting.

Brutus: I'm pullin' for Big Daddy Cool! I didn't really agree with Sting when he came out here talkin' about Bret Hart the way he did! Bret had the sharpshooter WAY before Sting had the deathlock! COME ON DIESEL!

JR: And the WARRIOR! I can't believe Sting claims he DIDN'T attack the Warrior! He and Arn were hookin' it up in the ring... and Sting jumped in from behind!

Diesel pulls up Sting and turns him around in mid-air... Sting adjusts...and drops down behind, hooking Diesel's arm... and hitting an ARMDRAG TAKEDOWN!!! Sting leaps up in the air to splash Diesel... and BDC brings up his knees! Sting crashes down!

Diesel moves back up to a vertical base and pulls up Sting in the air again... Sting adjusts... and DROPKICKS DIESEL! THE CHAMP IS ROCKIN'! Sting circles behind Big Daddy Cool... and runs in, planting a kneelift to the small of the back!

Sting backs up and charges again... Diesel turns... and scoops up Sting in a bodyslam! Big Daddy looks out at the fans, and holds a black glove to them! They erupt! But Sting doesn't play around... he hooks BOTH of Diesel's legs and drops him down!

Sting pops up over the prone Diesel... and climbs to the top rope!!!! Just then... the cameras pick up... Terry Taylor and Todd Pettingill! They are coming to ringside...
