DOK HENDRIKS INTERVIEWS...

Dok is walking up the hallway in the back of the arena. He stops at a door with a star on it and knocks.

Voice: What?!

Dok: Uhh... Mr.Stardom... it's me! Dok Hendriks!

After a moment, the door opens. Derrick Stardom is standing there.

Dok: Mr. Stardom, I wondered if we could continue with what we were talking about on TNT.

Stardom: Persistence is one of your more outstanding traits, Hendriks. Ask a question, and you may receive an answer.

Stardom steps out next to him. The camera man gets into position.

Dok: It's all about Pillman... and Austin. Just what is going on?

Stardom: It's like this Hendriks. Pay close attention, there MAY be a test at the end for you to fail. Sabrina manages the Badd Boy Derrick Stardom. She also manages Pillman and Austin. That doesn't mean I have to kick back a beer with them. But it DOES mean that when Sabrina is threatened within the confines of the World Wrestling Federation, I will take care of business. If they're out there with me, that's just fine... it's the way things work. But in the end I don't thank them or shake their hand, nor do I expect anything from THEM!

Dok: Why don't you? Why can't you finally take an ally?

Stardom: One thing the Badd Boy Derrick Stardom has maintained from day one... was that I am more INTELLIGENT then your average wrestler. I don't walk into traps. I don't take on allies that will stab me in the back. And there's not one person that believes the sincerity of Pillman and Austin.

Dok: Do you believe Sabrina?

Stardom: That's why I signed with her. And she's a smart woman. I may not trust Pillman and Austin, but they won't do anything to me while she's around.

Dok: But she's around. Why not ally with them? You said she wouldn't let anything happen, so what BAD things could happen?

Stardom looks down at Dok... thinking. Pillman is then shown at the table, getting up and walking quickly to the back.

Stardom: Hendriks... don't start with me again.

Dok: It's an honest question, Derrick. Pillman has tried everything to work out the past differences. Even Austin has, in his own unique way. Why won't you adapt?

Stardom: Adapting is NOT how the Badd Boy Derrick Stardom got to where he is at. I am what I say I am... and portray no other role. I am the hottest piece of real estate in the GALAXY... and the MEASURING STICK in the wrestling world. Hendriks, it has been a LONG TIME since ONE MAN has defeated me. I've been doubled teamed... triple teamed... and quadruple teamed... and I've STILL come out lookin' OH-SO FLY! Adapting will only...

Pillman comes on to the camera's view.

Pillman: Look.. STARDOM! I'm going to lay it on the line right now. I've given you gifts... complimented you... supported you.. and I've watched your back, though you haven't needed it.

Stardom: And am I any better for all this Pillman? I don't NEED you!

Pillman: Hear me the #%Q OUT!!!

Stardom glares at Pillman, who glares right back. Tense moments pass.

Stardom: Pillman... that is NOT the way to handle this situation! Raising your voice to BBDS will only get your carcass kicked back to the announcer's table.

Pillman: Then what IS the way to handle it? I've tried EVERYTHING! Look, pal. We've banged heads in the past. We may bang heads in the future. But right now... we're under the same roof. I'm the World F'N Champion! You could have been the World F'N Champion countless times. You NEVER lost the I/C title. But you've never complained about any of that. You've just continued to be the BEST all around wrestler in the WWF! You've beaten them ALL. You can CONTINUE to beat them all... just like I can... and just like Stone Cold... and Corey Major. Stardom.... Badd Boy... DERRICK. I'm saying this right now... I want to put it all behind us... I'm not asking for a stable... I'm not asking for us to come down and cramp your style every time you wrestle. But we can be an alliance. I've done a lot for you. And I've been critisized and mocked. But Sabrina was, too when she was trying to sign Corey. I'm not going soft on ANYBODY. Think about it... we would be the most influential group EVER! We're fighting Taylor Tech... and of EVERYBODY that's every fought them... you've been the most successful. Let's form up... you've had allies in other leagues... and it never hurt you. And Austin and myself are the only ones that have given you any credit at all in THIS fed. And I'm telling you... I could care LESS about everybody else. I respect you and what you've done. And I know Stone Cold does, too. So what do you say?

Pillman holds his hand out to Stardom who looks down at it. Dok looks nervously at both wrestlers... then holds the mic up to Stardom...

Derrick is contemplating... then he speaks.

Stardom: Pillman... let me think about it. Come back on Raw... bring Austin... Sabrina... and we'll talk. That's all I've got to say.

Stardom turns and leaves. Pillman slowly puts his hand down, staring at the back of Stardom as he goes, looking frustrated.

Dok: That was ALMOST an event right there. Maybe on Raw we'll get to the bottom of this story...

Pillman: Hendriks, I'm getting a little TIRED of this! Stone Cold refuses to play this little game. He's said his piece and that's that. I've tried to get through to him. I've held out my hand to him. On Raw... we WILL get to the bottom of this.... and like Austin says... THAT'S the bottom LINE!

Pillman angrily storms out, then comes back down to the announcer's table...
