WWF Superstars, Apr. 31, 1997

Double J steps back, as Piper stands up straighter, ready for anything. Jarrett, however, looks back at Piper and sticks out his hand!

Double J: I know we haven't seen eye to eye on plenty of things, but you're doing a hell of a job here, Piper. Don't change a THING!

Piper: No... we ain't seen eye to eye on many things. You tried to raise hell with your nWo. Well... since we're lettin' it all out here tonight. Lemme tell YOU something... that I been meanin' to say. You didn't get too far with the nWo against Titan Tower for one MAIN reason. One of you was in the Tower's pocket.... Lucifer Graves! It was the Ol'Hot Rod that told him to join up... and see what's goin' down in the New World Order. But that's all water under the DAM now, Double J!

Piper looks at Jarrett, and smiles! He extends his hand and the two shake, as the crowd cheers! Piper reaches out and slaps Double J on the shoulder.

Roddy Piper: Hollywood is a rough town, Double J. But no more rougher then the WWF on it's worst night.... and you conquered it. Slap a figure Four on Tinsel Town... and go get 'em!

Jim Ross: Well, I guess if that's done, we're all finished here.

The video wall comes on, and standing there is Demolition.

Ax: Why don't you just shut up and get the hell out of here, the only reason you are still breathing right now, is because we decided to allow Vader to demolish you.

Smash: But if you were not leaving we would be sure to get rid of you, our way. On permant injured reserve.

Ax: So go to Hollywood, that land of silicone women, and fake hair and you were made for each other, you will fit right in as you fit both of those criteria.

Jim Ross: I can't....!!! Demolition! CRASHING the party! Well.... I suppose that's about it!

Voice: Hold on, JR . . . we are NOT done just yet!

The crowd stands and peers to the curtain, looking for the source of the voice! Jarrett stands in the ring looking around, as does everyone else. Suddenly, a collective murmer is heard in the crowd as the curtains part . . . and ERIC BISCHOFF steps through!! Bischoff points to the crowd and smiles, as he makes his way to the ring with a microphone in hand.

Eric Bischoff: There's a few things we've still gotta go through, everyone, so please bear with us for a few. I mean . . . come on, you're not gonna go without MR. BIG'S signature on the contract, are you, Jeff?

Jim Ross: WHAT?!?

Bischoff steps through the ropes and enters the ring. Sting makes a move towards him, but is held back by Jarrett. Double J turns and faces Bischoff, his face unreadable.

Eric Bischoff: You heard me, JR! Mr. Big . . . the guy that ran the nWo . . . you're looking at him! It was ME! Come on, Jeff, don't be upset! Remember the Royal Rumble? Shawn Michaels with an I/C title shot, promising a shot to you if he won? I had Shawn right in my back pocket the entire time, just WAITING to drop him. I mean, sure the Empire set you up . . . but that's NOTHING compared to what we were gonna do to Shawn!

Jarrett stares at Bischoff, his face looking upset.

Eric Bischoff: And how about when I joined with the Horsemen . . . just lying in wait until the time I could ditch that fossil Ric Flair to help the nWo! Of course, Macho Man kinda ended that, but it's ok! But anyway . . . Mr. Piper . . . the way I see it, I have Power of Attorney over Mr. Jarrett here, and if I put MY name on that contract saying that he can't go . . . well, he CAN'T, can he? By the way, Liz, you're looking beautiful as ever!

Jim Ross puts the microphone up to Piper, as Elizabeth stares daggers back at Bischoff.

Roddy Piper: Weeeeeellllll, I suppose that would be correct.

Eric Bischoff: GREAT! Pass me the papers, family man.

Roddy Piper: (with a twinkle in his eye) UNLESS . . . Double J was to somehow BREAK that Power of Attorney, if you know what I mean.

Eric Bischoff: What....

Jarrett wastes no time at hearing Piper's advice, and plants a BOOT right into Bischoff's stomach, doubling him over! The crowd cheers! Jarrett grabs Bischoff's head for the BlackJack . . . but someone reaches out and stops him!

It's ELIZABETH! Liz motions for Double J to stand aside, and she PUNCHES Bischoff right in the jaw! The crowd POPS as Eric falls to the mat! Double J stomps down on the former nWo leader, and then rolls him out of the ring to the floor!

Roddy Piper: I consider the Power of Attorney BROKEN!

Double J: Bischoff, you worm, you can take your money, power, and whatever else and STICK IT! Mr. Big no more!

Jim Ross: I guess that about wraps this up! WOW! Folks, we'll be right back with -

Double J: Hold on, JR! Someone check their watch and tell me what time it is!

Jerry Lawler: Uh . . . it's about twelve -

Double J: WRONG! It's JARRETT TIME! And Vader, buckle up . . . cause YOUR ASS IS MINE! So long, folks!

Double J's theme starts to play again, as Jarrett moves around to each guest, shaking their hands as he goes. When he shakes Heart Attack's hand, he gives her an Ain't I Great CD. When he shakes Corey Major's hand, he give Jarrett a Tripewire CD. Roxanne gives Double J a high-five, then a thumbs up. The crowd cheers as Double J climbs up to the 2nd rope, peering out at them. Jarrett raises both arms in the air and then drops down, as he, Elizabeth, and The Roadie return to the dressing rooms.
