JESSE VENTURA REPORTING

Jesse Ventura comes out from behind the curtain. He is wearing a bright blue jump suit and is smiling broadly. There is a bright yellow bandana on and yellow tassels on his elbows and knees. He raises his arms in the air and the arena explodes with cheers. He begins to walk down aisle to the ring slapping hands as he does so.

Suddenly he breaks into a sprint and runs to the ring with the tassels flying behind him.

Jesse: Hello! (The crowd cheers) How are we doing? (The crowd cheers again) Well, I don't want to let the cat ALL the way out of the bag, but Dr.Mesmer called me and told me he had good news! (The crowd gets absolutly defeaning)

Jesse: So without further ado, let's meet the man who saved the Road Warriors... Dr.Mesmer!

Dr.Mesmer appears from behind the curtain and the crowd cheers. His white doctor's smock practically glows. He is smiling almost as much as Jesse. He waves to the crowd and they cheer again. He walks down to the ring and shakes a few hands as he does so. Then he climbs into the ring and stands beside Jesse.

Jesse: Hello, Dr.Mesmer. (The crowd cheers) So tell us already! Where are the Road Warriors?

Dr.Mesmer: Well, Jesse... (Dr.Mesmer smiles)

Jesse: Doctor...

Dr.Mesmer: I am pleased to say that the Road Warriors are... (The crowd cheers)

Jesse: Yes...

Dr.Mesmer: DEAD!

Jesse: (Smiling at first - then it hits him and his smile fades away along with the cheering. The arena falls into silence) What did you say?

Dr.Mesmer: (Still smiling) You heard me, you pathetic loser. The Road Warriors are rotting in their graves!

Jesse: What are you saying Dr.Mesmer?!

Dr.Mesmer: It is not Dr.Mesmer! (He grabs his white doctor's smock and rips it off, revealing black scrubs underneath. Around is neck lies a black doctor's mask. He pulls it up and ties it around his mouth and nose. From his pocket he takes a black doctor's hat. He puts it on and stand there slowly turning about, looking a the crowd. The arena boos loudly.

Dr.Mesmer: The name is DR.DEATH!

Jesse: What have you done with the Road Warriors?

Dr.Death: They are dead! The Legion of Doom died... by my hand! (The crowd boos)

Jesse: NO!

Dr.Death: The legion of Doom is no more. But all is not lost... Long live revitalized LOD... The Legion of Death - Beast and Vulture!

From behind the curtain come two familiar figures. At first glance they appear to be Hawk and Animal, but upon closer inspection everything looks all wrong. Instead of spiked shoulder pads the wear a large silver scull on each shoulder with a cruel spike coming out of each forhead. Both are wearing long, black capes. Their skin is a pasty white. Their lips and eyes are black. Both are wearing the familiar face paint, except it is now dark, ugly and perverted. Vulture (formerly Hawk) is carrying a long, wicked sythe and a large black bag. Beast (formerly Animal) is carrying a long, spiked chain and large black bag. The come to the ring and stand beside Dr.Death as the people begin to boo.

Jesse: Hawk, Animal... Is that you?

Beast: (He backhands Jesse, who reels from the blow but doesn't fall down) Shut-Up! Animal is dead!

Vulture: And Hawk too is dead!

Dr.Death: Let the games begin!

Beast and Vulture toss down their weapons and reach into their black bags. The both grab handfuls of fan letters and brightly colored "Get Well" signs and toss them into a pile at their feet.

Beast: These worms (He holds up some letters) left us when we did what was needed.

Vulture: There was too much rotting trash in the WWF. We just did a little cleaning. But they (He holds up some letters) didn't have the stomach for it!

Dr.Death: How true. Please continue!

Vulture reaches into his bag and take out a can of gasoline. He pours it onto the pile of letters.

Jesse: No! Stop!

Vulture turns and bashes Jesse upside the head with the can. Jesse falls down bleeding. He lifts his head and stares at the horror unfolding before him.

Beast reaches into his bag and takes out a flare. He lights it and tosses into the pile. The flames erupt and the letters begin to burn furiously. All three men stare at the fire and laugh.

Dr.Death: Please don't stop!

Vulture reaches into his bag and takes out a Mega-Powers poster. He rips it in half and tosses part of it into the fire.

Vulture: The Mega-Powers left us to die! (He tosses the last part into the fire)

Beast: They could not protect us!

Dr.Death: Don't stop now! Please go on!

Beast and Vulture reach into their bags and take out Road Warrior T-Shirts.

Dr.Death: Go on! Do it! It is the final piece of the Road Warriors

Vulture and Beast throw the shirts into the fire.

Vulture: The Road Warriors are dead!

Beast: Long live the Legion of Death! (The three men laugh)

Beast and Vulture reach into their bags and take out what appear to be super soakers painted black. Vulture tosses the bag to Dr.Death. Dr.Death takes out a large Silver Scull out of the bag. He holds the scull into the air.

Dr.Death: (Talking to the scull) Tell us, what do we do now? Really? Yes, sir. Well we have three things to say.

Vulture: Horsemen... Prepare to die! We are going to make you suffer. And Black Jacks... you had better have Shadow ready to give to us or we will beat you so badly you will never step into the ring again. Remember you Horsemen put the Road Warriors into the hospital, so we will return the favor. Your beds are ready!

Dr.Death: (Listening to the scull) Wait... I have been given a prognosis. The Horsemen will be DAD. Dead after arrival! (They all laugh)

Beast: Number two... We will fight with you Heart Foundation! End of discussion.

Dr.Death: And the last thing... (He points to Jesse) Get him!

Vulture and Beast point their super soakers at Jesse and fire. At first it isn't clear what they are squirting him with. Then it become obvious.. it is BLOOD! After Jesse is covered all three men laugh then leave the ring. As they walk down the aisle they squirt the crows with blood. The crowd boos.
