RESULTS: Monday Night Raw August 11, 1997

BIG DADDY COOL, DIESEL

Diesel's music plays through the arena speakers and the crowd begins to cheer wildly as Big Daddy Cool steps through the curtains. He walks down the aisle wearing his DWA jacket, slapping hands on both sides of the aisle as he goes. When he gets to ringside, he jumps up onto the apron, and tosses his glasses out to the crowd, then steps over the ropes into the ring.

He signals for a microphone, and someone tosses one up into the ring to him. After waiting a moment for the crowd to quiet, he speaks.

BDC: How's it going, Miami!!!!

The crowd roars in response, and Diesel lets them cheer for a moment longer. When they begin to die down he starts again.

BDC: Well, There's been alot of developments in the WWF lately, and I'm not surprised that once again, someone's trying to drag Big Daddy Cool into it again. IT seems like people can't leave well enough alone, and they just HAVE to get even more heat breathing down their necks.

BDC: For those of you who aren't sure what I'm talking about, let me give you a quick review.

The video wall behind Diesel comes to life, showing a replay of the match on TNT. It shows Shawn giving the Sweet Chin Music to Savio and then getting the quick pin.

BDC: This last TNT, me and Shawn finally get a check mark in the 'W' column, and it seems like that didn't settle very well with Justin "Pigeon" Bradshaw.. so he goes and shows just HOW brain-damaged he is by jumping into the ring and trying to take out Big Daddy Cool's wheels.. and he gets his clock cleaned by my partner.

The crowd boos as the wall shows Justin Bradshaw juping into the ring and taking a crowbar to Diesel's leg, and hitting again as he falls into the corner. Then they cheer as Shawn throws the Sweet Chin Music into Bradshaw's face, and he retreats as Mike Rotundo runs in and Diesel starts to stand.

BDC: Well, normally I'd chalk it up as another bonehead move by Camp Cornette, but this goes beyond even that. Not only has he managed to alienate the few friends he had, but now he's getting people on the sidelines involved. And that's something you don't want to do in the WWF.

BDC: to tell the truth, I can't even see what Pigeon's aim was anyway. Is he jealous because his partner got taken out and he's lonely, so he wants to get his ass run over and join him in rehab? That's what it seems like. I didn't have any problems with him, but now I do. You want a piece of me, Bradshaw, you sign a contract and I'll be there.. but I don't want to hear any of this "Oh, Diesel's scared, he wants "ME" to get the contract".. the truth of the matter is that I've got better things to do with my time than do alot of paperwork for a match I don't even need.. when I beat you into the ground all it's gonna do it take time away from my training and slow the DWA down on the march to the top.

BDC: So if you want to keep picking fights you can't win, then let's go, Bradshaw.. I've got more than enough high-octane buttkicking to spare for you.

Diesel's music begins to play again, and Diesel tosses the microphone back out of the ring, and signals for the Jackknife to the crowds, who start cheering madly.

Pillman: I wonder what Cornette was thinking? I mean... let's stick it to Diesel.... and S.B. Peterson... and Raven... and Sabrina... and.... EVERYONE ELSE! His enemies are as varied as his color scheme!

JR: Well, Jim Cornette is standing by... but he has something ELSE to talk about right now! I'm sure he'll address Diesel's comments very soon.

Pillman: Don't hold your breath, JR.

King: No, JR... please DO!

JIM CORNETTE
