RESULTS: Monday Night Raw June 9, 1997

Starr: What happened last Tuesday night wasn't personal... but I guess you figure it was! Sister, I may be from the future... but after hearing your interpretation of events, I gotta say you must have your mind stuck in some alternate dimension!

RAUCOUS cheers erupt from the stands as the fans eat up the confron- tation. Blaze half-circles the ring, keeping her eye on Helmsley and Taylor.

Starr: You want a PIECE of me, rich girl? WELL YOU GOT IT! And you're not gonna have your big, BAD Corporate Machine to bail you out this time!

Starr puts her hand on her hip, thinking...

Starr: You know what, actually? I hope you DO bring the ol' Corpulent Machine down! Matter of fact, bring down the Kid, too! Bring down Citizen Flawless and the Giant. Terry Taylor, BRING DOWN YOUR WHOLE STINKIN' STABLE IF YOU WANT!!! Because if even ONE other member of Taylor Dreck gets involved, /I/ win! I show the whole WORLD (Starr sweeps her hand wide) that you're more scared of this little ol' Space Ranger than you want to admit! I show the world that Taylor Tech FEARS the hand of justice that even now closes around its overstuffed Throat! SO BRING... IT... ON...!!!

Starr throws the mike down and spreads her arms wide, then... TAKES OFF HER BATON HARNESS!! She throws it to the outside of the ring and gestures for Helmsley to take her best shot!

The fans begin pounding their feet! Slick drives them on, standing next to Corey and Wild Chylde, who are watching every minute!! Terry Taylor and Mr. Flawless are standing in the aisle, watching. Todd rushes out with them.

Susannah stands along the ring ropes, looking at Starr....DARING Helmsley to move in. The fans are cheering! Susannah... steps OUT of the ring and joins Taylor Tech. The place BOOS!!! Starr looks down, shaking her head. Helmsley leaves with the rest of Taylor Tech, despite the loud reaction from the fans.

Starr flips around to all four sides of the ring, looking ready for action! But Taylor Tech leaves. She slides out and heads backstage, clasping plenty of hands along the way.

JR: You can BET there will be a match between these two... it IS getting personal. I... NOW WHAT? Corey Major?

Corey Major picks up the mic and stands there for a moment, until everyone begins to quiet down. He smiles out at them and gives them a thumbs up.

Corey: Ain't it funny? No matter who comes out here... if they hold a microphone long enough, everyone in this arena would get quiet to hear what they would say! It's like we're all programmed to listen when....

Corey pauses. He looks nervous.

Corey: Alright... I'm just stalling. Wild Chylde! Great match! I knew you could do it! Um... I just wanted to take this time to say something to you.

Corey makes sure that Wild Chylde is watching. Fans begin to speculate, murmuring to themselves. Corey walks a little closer to Wild Chylde. He seems really nervous.

Corey: Well... I just wanted to thank you for all your help. I'm glad I didn't sign with Sabrina. So I wanted to say... thanks.

Wild Chylde: You're welcome.

Corey looks like there is more to say...

Corey: That's not ALL I wanted to say. I mean... well... King of the Ring is coming up on Sunday... and you... well... you're going to be making a decision. And... well... I don't know what you're gonna be, like, saying and all that. But, well... no matter what happens.... I just wanted you to know that.....

Corey looks around with a smile.

Corey: Now I know how the UNDERTAKER felt!

The fans cheer, urging him on. He smiles,then looks back to Wild Chylde with a big lump in his throat that he swallows.

Corey: Well... I've never said this to ANYONE before. Um... at King of the Ring, it could be all over. But I just wanted you to know... that I... I really dig you a LOT... and.....

A voice cuts in over the P/A. It is laughter! Then, up on the video wall... Ted DiBiase's face comes on. He is laughing. Wild Chylde shakes her head, glaring at the camera.

Ted: Corey Major, you ham and egger, save your breath. Your words will fall upon deaf ears anyway. On Superstars, you saw my daughter. Isn't that right Wild Chylde? You SAW that 'normal' life. That 'average' life. And maybe not today... maybe not tomorrow... but MAYBE at the King of the Ring, you'll THANK ME for KEEPING YOU FROM a life like that. You'll thank me for keeping you FROM lowlife scum like Corey Major.

Corey: DUDE MAN... I...

Ted: BE QUIET LITTLE MAN! You had your chance to speak. But your third-rate education gave you only enough poise to say well... and um... about forty times. Now it's MY turn to speak. And when the Million Dollar Man speaks... EVERYBODY LISTENS... microphone or NOT! Now. Wild Chylde, you compared me to that skirt wearing FIGURE HEAD, Roddy Piper. And let's look at the end result. HIS son is galavanting around with Taylor Tech, much to the CHAGRIN of Piper! Piper doesn't PROVIDE for his son... but Terry Taylor DOES! That's how much PIPER taught his son. But you, Chylde. I taught you better. And you WERE always a good girl. You KNEW your father had been right. You KNEW he would teach you the correct way to live. How to act in social situations... how to address superiors.... and how to treat....INFERIORS. Take a look at the man before you... and I use THAT term loosely. He can't even express his own thoughts! He doesn't know a wrist-lock from a wrist-watch! Bret Hart TOOK the fall on Superstars to give him confidence, and he STILL can't come out here and show you how he feels about you, Chylde. You doubt MY love for you? I've done all the things for you that OTHER father's daughters only DREAM about. And what has this... rock and roller... done for YOU?

Corey: DUDE... I....

Ted: I TOLD YOU TO BE QUIET! You had your chance to speak. And now I've taken mine. At King of the Ring, I'm sure you'll have a LOT to say. But after my daughter makes the RIGHT decision... YOU'LL BE LEFT SPEECHLESS!! HAHAHA!!! Now you want to say something... go right ahead... say it now... QUICKLY!!!

Corey: Dude... you....

Ted: HOLD IT RIGHT THERE1 Let me show you what money can do! Let me show you the POWER... of the Million Dollar Man! We're going to COMMERCIAL BREAK right now! You MISSED your chance to speak! BECAUSE EVERYBODY HAS A PRICE... FOR THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN!!!

Wild Chylde looks sadly from her Father to Corey. Ted's face clicks off. Corey tries to speak into the mic... but it doesn't respond.

The camera cuts to commercial break.
