RESULTS: Monday Night Raw June 9, 1997

ROWDY RODDY PIPER

Hot Rod is in the Titan Tower office, overlooking Connecticut. His feet are up on his desk, and his hands are behind his head. At first glance, he appears relaxed, but his eyes betray anger and a touch of insanity.

When Piper sees the light go on for the recording, he sits forward.

Piper: Y'know... I gave Terry Taylor a chance. I told him to NOT mess with my son, Colt. But did he listen? Nope, he didn't. So when the WWF Championship Committee tells me something... I've decided to NOT listen EITHER!

Piper: So let me tell you what I'm gonna do. We all remember how Money, Inc. WON the tag team titles, right? A MYSTERY team. A BLIND challenge. Weellllll.... I think it's only FAIR... that Money INC. has to face a MYSTERY TEAM! No, they ain't the #1 contenders, but ask me if I GIVE a damn! No, they ain't even a tag team, but ask me if I GIVE a damn!

Piper: But for just this ONE match... I'm using my PRESIDENTIAL POWERS... to make this match happen... with the stipulations that I want to put on it. And not only will the TAG TITLES be on the line.... but if they LOSE THE MATCH..... DISQUALIFICATION, COUNT-OUT... OR OTHERWISE.....TERRY TAYLOR IT OUT OF THE WWF!!!! FOR LIFE!!!!!

Piper: And don't even BOTHER, Taylor, with getting your panties in a bunch. 'Cause there ain't NO WAY out of this! It will be YOU.. and the GIANT... NEXT WEEK ON RAW.... takin' on MYSTERY TEAM! AND THE TITLES ARE ON THE LINE!!! I can do this... just this ONCE! AND I WILL!

Piper: So Taylor... DON'T PUSH NO MORE! 'Cause I don't push back... I KNOCK YER LIGHTS OUT!!

BOOKER T.

Booker T. is in the Raw-buttal area. He's wearing his red jacket and sunglasses. Flames are on his tights, going up his legs.

Booker: Stevie, bruther... I KNOW you listening, man. Listen to me, bro. Look at what Piper can DO! You HEARD, man. You SEE who Sting's got. You an me, bro... with Rick Rude at Survivor Series... YOU REMEMBER, MAN! Don't DO this! I'm TELLIN' you! Look man... I'm doin' this... for YOU. You ain't likin' it... but I can't stand by... and let my brutha do somethin' STUPID.

Booker: Tha's all I got ta say.

Booker walks out, looking frustrated.

STING PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

Sting and Rick Rude are shown standing in the back.

Sting: BIG match coming up tonight, and I'm getting PUMPED! Undertaker, I've got plenty of respect for you, my man, and I've got nothing against you. And big man, The Stinger isn't takin' you lightly in the LEAST. But I WILL take you, Undertaker, right here LIVE tonight!

Sting: And not to get off subject, well ... actually that's what I'm gonna do. Stevie Ray, WHAT is your major malfunction, brother? You have not only sealed your fate before the King of the Ring even takes place, you've broken RULE #1! Which is ... DON'T make this man right here MAD!

Sting slaps Rude on the back.

Sting: But you've done JUST THAT, Stevie! And this guy walks around 24 hours a day with a bad attitude. Why make him even MORE upset?!

Rude: Stevie Ray, you talk about Madusa having me taken out of the Empire, which she did. But the simple truth is that she COULD do it because she had more pull than The Giant, Michaels, or more importanly YOU!

Rude: I carried your sorry ass through an entire War Games at Survivor Series, Stevie Ray, and at the King of the Ring ... you get dropped. Be it by Sting ... or be it by ME!

Sting: Whoa! Calm down, Rick. I'll handle Stevie Ray, but RIGHT NOW I'm gonna handle The Undertaker! Taker, I can walk on the Darkside with you, brother. But you CAN'T walk on the WILDSIDE with The Stinger, and you'll find that out in just a few minutes!

Rude: And if that fat Gomez wannabe or the Amazon freak gets anywhere near the match, they're BOTH in for a Rude Awakening.

Sting: Undertaker, let's get ready to RUMBLE! And then, it's on to Providence and becoming KING!

Rude: And we'll see you there, Stevie Ray.

Sting and Rude walk off from the view of the camera.
