WWF Superstars, June 21, 1997WWF Superstars, June 21, 1997RAVISHING RICK RUDE
A drumroll starts up, as Ravishing Rick Rude's music begins to fill the arena! Rude steps out through the curtain, wearing normal street clothes and a pair of sunglasses. The ladies in attendance whistle at Rude as he climbs up into the ring, removes his sunglasses, and takes the microphone.
Rude: CUT THE MUSIC!
The music stops, but the whistles and some cheers do not.
Rude: First off, let me tell you that I'll be the one talking here today. Sting's a little tired. After fighting the Undertaker on Raw 2 weeks ago, getting jumped by the Giant on TNT, fighting off Stevie Ray's boys AND Taylor Tech at the King of the Ring, BEATING Money Inc. the next night on Raw if it wasn't for his own partner hitting him with a chair, and then fighting the Warrior the night after THAT ... Sting is relaxing with a cold beverage in the back.
Rude: But I'M here, and I've got some things to say.
Rude chuckles to himself a bit.
Rude: You know, every time I watch a monitor in the back, or watch the WWF at home, it appears more and more evident that everything around here is turning into some big soap opera. I see some crap with The Undertaker and Lady Tyr week after week after week ... WHO CARES if the Taker can love? And some of you might be saying, "Rick, this is none of your business.", and you'd be WRONG if you said that.
Rude: See, at King of the Ring, it became known that the Undertaker we've seen for the past few weeks was some kind of FAKE. So what they're trying to say is that the Taker that got an ASS KICKING by Sting just before the King of the Ring wasn't REALLY The Undertaker. Taker, we all know that was you that Sting ran through. Try to accept a loss like a MAN next time.
Rude: And then you've got the trials and tribulations of the poor little rich girl Wild Chylde, trying to break away from Daddy. And add too that that she got engaged to Corey Major! I DON'T CARE! Then we've got the Blizzard and Sun ... well, I turn the channel whenever the Blizzard comes on, so I wouldn't know about that one.
Rude: But my FAVORITE soap opera here has to be the brother vs. brother problems of Stevie Ray and Booker T. Stevie Ray, who had all his buddies jump me and Sting at King of the Ring, trying to get an easy match. But on Raw this week, I see Slick waving around a contract for a TV Title match ... that Stevie Ray gets?! That don't sit to well with us.
Rude: If Stevie Ray HADN'T had his boys jump Sting before the match, then he would have gone into the tournament, LOST to Sting like everybody else, and then Sting would have been in a bit better shape for Round 2, since he hadn't been beaten down with clubs. Sting, who fought off 8-9 guys total at the King of the Ring gets the SHAFT, while Stevie Ray gets a title shot cause he cheated? I DON'T LIKE IT!
Rude: What I propose is THIS! I know the Stinger is itching to get his hands on Stevie Ray ... I doubt the opposite is true, but that's not the point. Let them fight it out, like they SHOULD have done at King of the Ring! And give the TV Title match contract to the WINNER! THAT is fair!
Rude: So HOPEFULLY when that's done with, and Stevie Ray leaves the WWF due to the whipping that Sting gave him, ONE soap opera will come to an end. But seeing as how I'm the best looking hypocrite in the WWF ... I've decided to start my OWN little story!
Rude: You'll see it all on Raw this week, but I'll give you a sneak peak! Terry Taylor is NOT the only guy in the WWF that can screw with another man's family! And that will become PAINFULLY obvious to Taylor Tech over the next few weeks. It's Lifestyles of the Injured and Wifeless this week on Raw ... DON'T MISS IT! That's all I've got to say here today, so somebody ... HIT THE MUSIC!!
Rude's music starts back up again, as he pulls off the shirt he was wearing and begins to pose for the crowd. Whistles and screams are heard as Rude does his trademark hip gyrations. The screen begins to fade out from the ring.
THE DOCTOR OF STYLE, SLICK
The Doctor of Style, Slick is dressed in a pale peach-colored suit and matching hat. He is watching the video monitor and seeing Rick Rude leave.
Slick turns to the camera.
Slick: Brutha Rude... it pains me... right here...(he points to his heart)... that you do NOT see the good that we are giving Stevie Ray. For you see, friend.... this is not about the wrong-doings that Stevie Ray HAS done. For he has already... been PUNISHED... for these evil deeds.
Slick pauses for a moment, getting his words together.
Slick: No... this is about showing Brutha Stevie... that the LOVE is still there... from his brotha Booker... and his friends. Let the past... LIE where it was born. And allow goodness and HEALING to rise above the next hill.
Slick: Sting is no greedy man. I can sense this about him. He has had many chances at titles within the past week, Bruthah Rude. Stevie Ray has done the time... for his crime. Does that make him... a lesser man. I can find it in my heart... to forgive him. Bruthah Rude... you gonna need to do the SAME... before forgiveness is dealt you way... for YOUR past deeds.
Slick: PEACE!
