JR: INCLUDING their partners!!! Folks... don't miss In Your House! I can't WAIT to see how THIS one turns out! Wait... NOW what's going on?


RAVISHING RICK RUDE

Rick Rude's music begins to play, and the fans look to the curtains as the "Ravishing One" makes his way through. Rude wears a jacket over normal clothes and walks down with a slight grin on his face.

He notices a fan with a "RUDE RULES!" sign on the aisle, and he slaps 5 with the fan as he makes his way up into the ring. Rude asks for the microphone, but then rips it away from Howard Finkel.

Rude: CUT THE MUSIC!

The music stops.

Rude: I told everybody on Superstars that I was gonna give you the first installment of my own soap opera here tonight, and I'm a man of my word. I've got a VERY special guest to bring out in just a few minutes, but we'll get to that in a minute.

Rude: Have any of you ever wondered how the family and friends of wrestlers react to things they do in the ring?

The crowd cheers a bit.

Rude: We all saw how Jabronie Hall, or whatever his name is, reacted towards his son ... like we care. But I'm talking BIGGER than that! Have you ever wondered what Gold-Dust's dad thinks about her chasing Roxanne? Have you ever thought about things like that?

The crowd cheers a little louder.

Rude: If SO, you're in luck tonight. I told Taylor Tech last week that the fun has yet to start, and I wasn't lying. I said on Superstars that Terry Taylor isn't the only man who can mess with other people's families, and again ... I wasn't lying. Vincer Kaden, I heard you ask last week if Mr. Flawless ...

Rude laughs as he says that.

Rude: Flawless my ASS! If Diamond Dallas Page was married. And as the world knows, YES, DDP is indeed married. And as DDP is at home recovering from the asskicking he got from Derrick Stardom, he's probably asking the same thing Kaden did! Because he's looked ... but he just can't seem to find his old lady ANYWHERE!

Rude: But relax, Page, there's nothing wrong with your wife. She's not missing. She's not hurt. She's just ... with ME!

The crowd cheers a bit, but some cries of disbelief are mixed in.

Rude: You don't believe me? You want PROOF?

The crowd cheers!

Rude: Well ... BRING HER ON OUT HERE!

The fans rise up and stare towards the entrance, as the curtains part ... and KIMBERLY steps through! Whistles and cheers fill the arena immediately, as Kimberly makes her way down the aisle, smiling and waving to the fans. Rude holds the ropes for her as she comes into the ring.

Rude: Kim ... why don't you tell the world what's going on.

Kimberly: Well, Rick ... when Page first came to the WWF, everything was going fine. But ever since he ... ever since he joined up with that Taylor Tech group, he's totally changed. He shaved his head ... he's just totally different.

Rude: He has become a bit odd lately. But Kim ... the ear biting? The lip licking? WHAT is that about?

Kimberly: I honestly have no idea, Rick. I can only assume that it was some type of ploy or a mind game to try and get Derrick Stardom thrown off his game, but ...

Rude: But it embarassed YOU, didn't it? There's your HUSBAND, licking his lips and biting a man on his ear like he just left a gay pride parade in San Fransisco!

Kimberly: It DID embarass me. People were prank calling our house. People would ask me about it in the street, and I didn't have an answer. I ... I don't even know who he is anymore.

Rude: I can tell you who DDP is. Page is the man who's been put out of action for over a month for being an ear biter! Page is the man who's marriage has fallen totally apart, because he's too stupid to keep a woman like you, Kim. And Page is the man who can consider himself the first victim in the mission to take down Taylor Tech.

Rude: DDP may have been the first, but ALL of Taylor Tech will feel what Page must be feeling right now. Look at this woman in the ring right now!

Whistles and catcalls come up from the guys in the crowd.

Rude: Not a man here that wouldn't love to just spend 5 minutes with her, and you BLEW IT, Page! She's not the Diamond Doll any longer! She's now Rude's Grrl! And with that, there's just one thing left to say.

Rude grabs Kimberly around the waist ... and plants a BIG kiss full on her lips! The Rude Awakening! The fans cheer as Rude slowly lowers Kimberly down onto the mat, and then stands over her.

Rude: Now THAT ... was FLAWLESS! HIT THE MUSIC!!

Rude's music starts up again, as he unzips his jacket and begins doing his hip gyrations over a breathless Kimberly Page. The female fans now begin whistling and cheering as Rude holds a double bicept pose, and then kisses each arm. Rick pulls Kimberly up to her feet and helps her out of the ring, as they return to the dressing rooms.


JR: NOW HOW ABOUT THAT!? The suprises just keep coming here on Monday Night Raw! And up next... THE WORLD TITLE MATCH!!! Let's go back with Dok Hendriks, who's standing by with the champion!!
