MONOLITH PREMATCH INTERVIEW

(S.B. Peterson is shown with Yokozuna behind him, watching for trouble)

S.B. Peterson: WWF Superstars, where the battle of the big men are about to take place. Jobo, you were once my student. I have seen you grow into a great wrestler with one hell of a future. I knew when I rasied your hand at the Rookie Rumble that you would be a force in the WWF. Now, you get to face another new force in the WWF..MONOLITH! Jobo know that you have made your teacher prowd but you will go down at the hands of my Monolith. Could I be wrong? I DON'T THINK SO!!!

The Match:
JoBo's music begins to play. The arena suddenly feels cold and JoBo and ZoBo walk through the curtains. ZoBo is in the lead. They get halfway down the aisle, where Stardom is. Derrick stands up from his chair, kicking it aside with his foot. Stardom stands there, blocking JoBo's entrance, rearing his head back with a cocky smile on his face.

ZoBo restrains JoBo from attacking, and after many tense minutes, Stardom steps aside, and motions for them to pass. Derrick watches them go, but makes no motion toward them.

JoBo gets into his corner and waits for his opponent. Stardom sets up the chair once more, this time toward the ring, and watches.

The lights dim in the arena as the sound of howling wind is heard. a light myst covers the arena floor as dark figures dressed in some sort of black robes come down the isle. They each hold a black candle that eluminates the figures but still reveals no features due to the robe hoods. They line the entrance with 3 robed figures on each side.

Then a soft breeze seems to fill the arena as the HUGE robed figure of Monolith comes from the entrance way and goes toward the ring. Monolith almost seems to glide toward the ring slowly as the long black druid style robe reviels almost nothing of what is underneeth. Slow the huge Monolith glides up the ring steps and goes into the ring. Once there, the lights slowly come up as finally black gloved hands emerge from under the robe. The hands slowly reach to the hood and pull it back revieling a solid black mask with no openings except for his mouth.

He removes his robe to reviel his defined build and that he wears black and purple weightlifter style tights that say "Monolith" in gothic writting on the front in purple with silver highlights, and there are purple flames graphics that wrap around the base of the tights. Plus, he has black knee pads, purple and black wreslting boots, purple arm bands and black gloves that are wrist length. He stands motionless with his arms folded waiting for the match to start.

The two behemoths lock up. Monolith pushes JoBo's arms aside and cinches in a bear hug. Not quite able to hook it all the way, JoBo pushes himself free. Monolith grabs one of JoBo's arms and twists it around with one hand, and presses into JoBo's head with the other, extending the shoulder area.

JoBo moves around, looking for an out... but Monolith holds him tighter, pulling the arm around behind the back and up. JoBo throws back a solid elbow into Monolith's side, but it apparently has no effect. A SECOND elbow jab seems to phase him, but Monolith makes no sound. JoBo thrusts again, and breaks free.

JoBo spins around to face the tall grappler. He grabs his head and pulls him down... HEAD BUTT! NO EFFECT!! A SECOND ONE!!! NOTHING!

JR: Monolith seems IMPERVIOUS to JoBo's assault!!

Monolith steps back...then rushes in and shoulderblocks the Mirnyy monster, knocking him back. Monolith circles in behind him and clamps on a half nelson sleeper, bearing nearly 500 pounds onto JoBo's head and shoulders.

Monolith switches it into a Full Nelson that doubles the big man forward. Referee, King Kong Bundy, moves into position in case JoBo submits.... HE DOESN'T!

Monolith quickly spins the large man around into a front facelock.... and sets for a DDT. JoBo digs his feet in and pushes with his arms, driving Monolith back. JoBo drives him into the corner, bending his back in half across the top turnbuckle. JoBo stands up... then backs away from Monolith.

JoBo CHARGES IN!!! He comes rushing in at top speed. Monolith seems to be going nowhere.... BUT THEN HE MOVES!! JoBo hits the corner like a runaway train! He bounces back out of the corner hard... INTO A SLEEPER HOLD!!!

JR: S.B.'s latest find has some tremendous technical skills!

Pillman: But it's eerie! He NEVER speaks! EVER!

JR: He may not talk, but he's probably been very well schooled on JoBo's technique by S.B.!

Monolith keeps the Sleeper clamped on as JoBo hammers away at the mid-section, desperate to break it. Finally, a shot knocks Monolith back a few steps. JoBo spins around with suprising quickness and catches Monolith on the bridge of the nose with an UPPERCUT! MONOLITH FALLS TO THE MAT!!!! The ring rumbles!!

JoBo backs up to the corner... and goes to the second rope... he LEAPS.... 436 POUND LEG-DROP ACROSS MONOLITH'S CHEST!! The fans give a collective 'OHHHH'!!!! JoBo... goes BACK to the corner.. and up to the second rope again...

ABDOMINAL SPLASH.... NOBODY HOME!!!

JR: I think S.B. was giving him instructions from the outside! JoBo had Monolith too hurt to notice anything at that particular moment!

Both wrestlers are down on the mat, nursing their wounds. Slowly, they rise up. ZoBo is now yelling instructions in to JoBo... who heeds them. He takes Monolith... and tries his MIRNYY DRIVER!!! HE CAN'T LIFT HIM!!

Monolith has a moment to re-collect himself, but he's not fast enough! JoBo PUNCHES him hard in the mid-section... then an uppercut to the face straightens him back up. JoBo lunges at him... CLOTHESLINE!! Monolith teeters.... AND GOES DOWN!!! JoBo... SPLASHES HIM AND COVERS... 1.... 2.... 3.... !!!!!

JR: JoBo got him! The brief inexperience of Monolith cost him, but what a close match it was.

Pillman: JoBo looked alright, but he and everybody else knows that he's no match for either Corey Major OR Derrick Stardom.

The Badd Boy stands up from his chair, kicks it aside... then walks backwards away from the ring, keeping his eyes on JoBo. Monolith leaves the ring silently and follows S.B. and Yokozuna out.
