JIM ROSS INTERVIEWS...

Jim Ross is standing in the ring. He has a mic in his hand.

Jim Ross: Without further adue, I would like to introduce to you.....BRUTUS THE BARBERR BEEFCAKE!.....AHMED JOHNSON!...AND THE REIGNING INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION.......THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR!!

The Warriors music starts playing throughout the arena. As The warrior blasts through the curtains. Brutus and Ahmed follow him. The Warrior jumps up on the apron and starts shaking the ropes! Brutus has his hedgeclippers, and Ahmed has his 2 X 4! The Warrior is bouncing in and out of the ropes like a wildman!

JR: Brutus, What are your thoughts on last nights pay per view, The King of the ring?

Brutus: Well, I only have five words for you Jim. I AM SICK OF IT!!! Taylor tech, it is OVER! I was in the back after the King of the ring, and it looks like you've sprung a few to many enemies. And One of them is standing right behind me going nuts. I can't calm him down!

The Warrior is still shaking the ropes. The Crowd IS ON ITS FEET! The Warrior won't calm down!!

Ahmed: Now from what I've seen....I just came over here from the WCW a while back! And I see nothing but COWARDS! Taylor tech.....

The Warrior SCREAMS out in the background! He starts pounding his chest! He continues to shake the ropes. The Arena is DEAFENING!!

Ahmed: Do you see what I mean? We were in the hotel room last night, I was tryin' to sleep, and all I could hear is the Warrior in the next room down Screamin' and bouncin' off of the walls. Taylor, It looks like you've gone TOO far with this one!

JR: Warrior can I get a word with you?

The Warrior bounces off of the ropes and comes over to JR.

Warrior: MACHINE! TAYLOR! GIANT! AAARRRGHHH!! THE KING OF THE RING BELONGED TO STING!! MACHINE!!! AAAARRRGGGGGHHH!!! IT IS TIME TO MAKE THE SACRIFICE!! AAAHH!

The Warrior starts shaking the ropes once again. He is HYSTERICAL! THE CROWD IS GOING BALLISTIC!

Brutus: Well that's all that we got to say for now! I'll give taylor a word of advice. Taylor, don't come down to your match tonight. Cause you know, you've already created a REAL time bomb. And I think he's gonna EXPLODE all over taylor tech! And I may have to come back and fight a few matches against ol' taylor tech! You never know!!

The Warriors music starts back up again. The Warrior BLASTS over the top rope. He hits a full sprint back to the locker-rooms. Brutus shakes his head and looks at ahmed as the two leave.

PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

Starr is shown backstage with Sting and Rick Rude, strapping on her baton harness and making some other last minute adjustments before the match. She spies the camera in a mirror and turns to grin at it.

Starr: Can you believe it? A second chance already! I just wish I'd known about it earlier so I coulda asked Piper to ban any sort of interference. I'm not scared of taking some lumps before a match or after it, but it's just not fair to the fans that they pay their hard earned cash to see good wrestling and then get treated to a travesty like the last time Tyr and I met! I hesitate to even call that a match, but hey, we got in some one on one and Tyr came out the winner, and you won't hear me bellyaching about it. But I hope we can both be at 100 percent tonight...

Starr: Who knows? Maybe she'll still just slam me all over the mat. And then again, maybe it'll be different. But Prez Piper, if jokes like last week keep occurring, and if the fans here tonight see another travesty instead of some good solid entertainment, people are gonna give up and stay home... and I don't think anyone wants THAT to happen!

Starr: But never let it be said I don't learn from my mistakes. See you soon!

The camera fades out.
