ULTIMATE WARRIOR PRE-MATCH COMMENTS
The Warrior, Brutus, THP, and Dok are standing in the back of the warrior's locker room. Brutus is standing in front of the camera with Dok. The Warrior is pacing back and forth behind Brutus and Dok. THP is in the back keeping an eye out.
Dok: Brutus, one of the most important matches of the Ultimate Warrior's career is tonight against Jeff Jarrett for the Intercontinental Title. What are his thoughts on the match.
Brutus: Dok, My friend, The Warrior couldn't be in better shape for this match. He's ready and determined that he's gonna win this title. BUT, rumors in the back, say that theres a certain individual that is NOT going to let the Warrior win the Title. And you, Blizzard, That's not smart. Ya' see Dok, The Warrior wants this belt badly, and If the Blizzard even shows his little head during the match, (Brutus pulls up his hedge clippers and starts opening and closing them), ILL CUT IT OFF!!
The Warrior steps up to the camera.
Dok: Warrior?
Warrior: Double J......Jeff Jarrett. You hold the title, and you are my friend. Tonight I wish you the best of luck. May the Best man Win. Blizzard, Adrien Blades, You ARE NOT my friend....Sources tell me that you said that The Title WILL NOT change hands tonight.......Blades, The title may not change hands, there is a big chance that Jarrett can beat me. He's a great wrestler. BUT if you EVEN come near to distract me......It WILL be the end of your career.
Dok: WHATTA MATCH THIS IS GONNA BE! Let's get down to the ring!!
JR: Alright let's go now to....
King: Hold on a minute! We've got the big I/C title match coming up, and I've got a surprise for everyone! Double J! Double J, are you there?
(The screen switches to a split shot, showing Double J standing in the back.)
Double J: I'm here, King!
King: All right, Double J! You're going out in just a few minutes to face that PUNK the Ultimate Warrior! What do you think your chances are?
Double J: I gotta disagree with you there, King. The Warrior is one of the top stars here in the WWF, and I think it's anybody's match tonight. I just hope that those people that will remain nameless . . . cause they're not worth mentioning, will keep their noses out of the match.
King: OK, Double J! Good luck out there tonight!
Double J: Thanks, King! Folks, get out the VCR's, cause this is gonna be a match to remember here tonight!
(The split screen goes back to a full one.)
INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH
Double J, Jeff Jarrett
w/Elizabeth & the Roadie
vs.
the Ultimate Warrior
w/the Mega Powers
The Match:
The Warrior's music begins to play! Brutus comes out, walking down with his SHARP hedgeclippers. He looks around at the crowd. Then... the Warrior POPS through the curtains and runs like a rocket to the ring! The Warrior is wearing a sleeveless trenchcoat wild wild colors that match his face paint.Behind the Warrior rushes out the Anvil Jim Neidhart, who is wearing his wrestling singlet and a leather jacket.
Then THP... and.... AHMED JOHNSON come down the aisle! Ahmed brings his 2 x 4 with him. The Warrior is in the ring, shaking the ropes and bouncing off of them... going NUTS! He looks up to the sky and signals for the press slam!
The other Mega Powers look around, checking the stands and under the ring. Brutus looks up in the rafters.
JR: They're not missing ANYTHING!
Corey Major then comes down the aisle, wearing his leather Tripwire jacket over the Warrior t-shirt. He looks to his left in the stands... and nods... then looks to the right and nods. Then he continues down the aisle. He greets the other Mega Powers with high-fives.
Sarah: Wait... there's MORE!
Flash Funk then comes down and walks to ringside. The LOD look around at everyone and seem to be directing traffic and giving everyone warnings.
Double J's theme begins blaring from the speakers, as the lights dim and the musical notes flash up the aisle and across the ring. The curtains part and the I/C Champion steps through! Double J makes his way up the aisle, in his blinking jacket, hat, and glasses, with Elizabeth and the Roadie following behind. Jarrett climbs up onto the apron and holds the ropes for Elizabeth as they enter.
Double J pulls off the I/C title belt and struts down the center of the ring. As he ends the strut, he holds the title belt high overhead, as white fireworks explode over the ring! The lights come back up as Jarrett removes his outfit and talks some last minute strategy with Elizabeth.
The Warrior walks up to Double J and extends his hand. Jarrett looks at him for a second... then shakes it. The bell rings...
