VALETIA VON STRAHDEN PRE-MATCH INTERVIEW

camera fades to the lockerroom where Joey Styles is standing by with Raven and Valetia Von Strahden.

Joey: VVS you have a an upcoming match scheduled against Gold-Dust. Any comments on that match?

Valetia: Gold-Dust...........you will be the first victim of the new, more EXTREME Valetia Von Strahden................If you think I was EXTREME before you ain't seen nothin' yet..............It is time to rid the WWF of the trash known as the Femme Fatales............It is my job to do that..............Now I will strike at every chance.............Femme Fatales you can only watch your back as the knife goes through.........And you shall Rest...In...Peace.

Joey: Raven, any comments?

Raven: Yes, my first job right now is to hire a bodyguard to watch my back, Valetia's back, and the back of Sabrina Savage and her men. He is known to most simply as Zeus!

Zeus steps out of the shadows and beside Raven.

Joey: Oh my GOD! He has hired Zeus to watch his back! Nobody will try to mess with them.

Raven: He is my protector. Jim Cornette's stable and Taylor Tech will both be destroyed by my right hand. It will be the shocker of the century how it's done. But the vengeance of the Raven and his Nest will come upon them. So it is written, so it shall come to pass. Quote the Raven...NEVERMORE!

Raven and VVS both walk off

JR: Just this past week, Gold-Dust led the Femme Fatales against VVS in an attempt to injure her. This match probably WON'T be pretty. Joining us now... it's BOBBY THE BRAIN HEENAN!!!!

The camera moves back to show Bobby Heenan.

Heenan: Hey, youshould all be happy the BRAIN is in the building!

JR: We're glad to have you Bobby!

The Match:
The lights dim as 'Bloodletting' by Concrete Blonde starts over the P.A. system. A single spotlight shines on the entryway shining on a black hearse. Inside of the hearse is a river with no expression on his face and a casket. Riding on the back of the hearse is Raven and Zeus.

The hearse stops when it reaches the ring and Raven and Zeus drop down. They open up the backdoor and pull out the casket slowly. They carry the casket into the ring as the hearse drives back to the back. The casket lid is slowly opened and Valetia Von Strahden rises out of the casket and slowly moves into the corner. Zeus and Raven carry the casket out of the ring and Valetia awaits the beginning of the match.

Gold-Dust comes down to the ring with a gold robe on and her normal golden jumpsuit with her glasses. She gleams out at the fans when she gets into the ring. VADER and Blizzard accompany Jim Cornette down to the ring. Both the Blizzard and VADER carry 2X4s. VADER gives an evil stare at Raven, who stares back.

Bobby: HA HA! Ross, you'll never guess what happened to me the other day!

Ross: What?

Bobby: This kid came up to me crying and I said whats wrong? he said 'I dont wanna go home because my mom beats me.' so I said go live with your dad.. he said 'my dad beats me too.' so I said who do you want to live with? and he says 'I wanna live with The BLIZZARD because he dont beat anybody!

Pillman falls back out of his seat HYSTERICAL!!! J.R. gives a little chuckle while Heart Attack laughs. Pillman rolls around before finally pulling himself up, out of breath, into his seat.

Bobby: I'd like to thank Jerry the King Lawler for the great things that he has done for the crimson assasin! He got him a win!

JR: C'mon, Bobby! We have a MATCH to get to!!

Valetia stares cold-heartedly at Gold-Dust as the bell sounds. Gold-Dust sweeps with her leg, knocking VVS down. Gold-Dust circles around and VVS rises up like the undead. They move toward each other, where VVS KICKS... then takes her sharp nails and begins to scratch at Gold-Dust... her face... then her back... then her face again! The referee warns her!

Gold-Dust reacts with a standing sidekick that knocks the vampire away from her. Gold-Dust spins around and waits in a martial arts position. VVS rises up...

Bobby: This looks like 2 ladies down at the salvation army fighting over a scarf!

VVS then is hit with a savat kick, knocking her down to her back. Gold-Dust leaps up in the air... and LEGDROPS her across the chest! Gold-Dust then yanks her up and tosses her hard into the turnbuckles and charges in after her....

VVS GETS UP A FOOT!! Gold-Dust is knocked back into the middle of the ring.

Bobby: VVS is good to have at picnics!

Ross: Why is that, Brain?

Bobby: She keeps the flies away from the food!

VVS stalks in at Gold-Dust... but the glittering superstar is still alright. She ROUNDHOUSE kicks VVS down to her knees... then fells her with a SCISSORS KICK to the back of the head. VVS rises up, apparently feeling no pain. Gold-Dust SPINNING HEEL KICKS HER DOWN!!!

Bobby: Have you ever heard of 'An evening in paris'?

Ross: What?! Evening in Paris?

Bobby: The COLOGNE!! Well, both of these women are wearing 'An afternoon in the Bronx'!!

VVS is pulled up to her feet and sent for the ride to the corner....
