SATILLITE FEED OF WCW MONDAY NITRO
TERRY TAYLOR PRE-MATCH COMMENTS
Terry Taylor: Well here it is Curt. Me and you. You've fallen right into my trap and all the while you thought you were winning. Well Curt, get ready, cus we're on my turf.... with my crowd, in my ring, and with this home field advantage, I can't lose.
Tony Schiavone: Hello fans... welcome back to WCW Monday Nitro... and in particular we'd like to welcome our viewers from the WWF right now!
Larry Zbyzsko: That's right Tony. Tonight, a special NON-Title match... a PERFECT PLEX match between Terry Taylor, our T.V. champion... and Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig!
Tony: The only way to win is with the Perfect Plex... and the loser can never again USE that move!
Larry: That's a pretty steep stipulation. Especially if you're Curt Hennig. That's the move that made his career! No big DEAL if TAYLOR can't use it!
Tony: That just goes to show you how BAD, Mr. Perfect wants his revenge! Mike Tenay is standing by in the back with Mr. Perfect!
MR. PERFECT PRE-MATCH INTERVIEW
Mr. Perfect and Madusa Miceli are standing on either side of Mike Tenay back in the locker room area. Perfect has one blue tights and is holding a towel. His leg is no longer taped.
Tenay: Welcome, Mr. Perfect.... to the WCW! You've used Madusa's former connections with our President, Ted DiBiase to secure you this match.
Perfect: This has been going on for FAR too long! Terry Taylor has to be one of the most hated individuals in wrestling. Not only do I want to PERFECT PLEX him through the mats... but my friend, Flash Funk wants to tear him up.... Derrick Stardom wants to tear him up, I'm sure.... and with what went down just last night, I wouldn't be suprised if Sabrina Savage sends her two chumps, Austin and Pillman after him.
Madusa: But Mr.Perfect was first in line... and he has his half of the deal to live up to.
Tenay: And Mr. Perfect, just what IS that deal?
Perfect: I made a pact to Bret Hart. The Hitman wants a piece of Terry Taylor, too. But I made a deal with the Hitman. That if HE takes care of Stone Cold, I'LL take care of Terry Taylor.
Madusa: And THAT put the fear of god into Terry Taylor, knowing that Mr. Perfect was coming for him. And we all saw the Empire jump Mr. Perfect, like the cowards they are...
Perfect: Or WERE! There is NO MORE Empire now. Just this Taylor Tech in it's place.
Madusa: And speaking of THAT! Scott Hall... Razor Ramon. You've made a VERY bad decision. Terry Taylor is the scum of the WWF, and you've aligned with him.... when you had many offers to re-join your old partner, Mr. Perfect.
Perfect: Scott Hall, you've made some stupid decisions this past year... but THIS has got to be the stupidest. I thought you were my friend. Regardless of what roads we've travelled, and any differences that came up between us... we were still friends. But for you to join the pack of wolves that put me down.... that puts you on the outside looking in, Scott.
Madusa: But first things first. Bret Hart... in the King of the Ring, we're SURE you'll get to the finals.... and if Steve Austin does.... you'll excellently execute him. And tonight... Mr.Perfect will live up to HIS end of the agreement.... and defeat Terry Taylor.
Perfect: Because NOBODY beats Mr.Perfect.... and I mean NOBODY!
Tenay: Let's get out to the arena!
