THE

 COUNTDOWN
WRESTLEMANIA

 TO



FROM THE TORONTO SKYDOME IN TORONTO, CANADA - MARCH 1ST 1997

Pillman: Welcome to the SkyDome! And you know what? This place doesn't STINK! The Empire is on FIRE so MUCH that we've burned the smell right out of Toronto!

Publican: And everywhere ELSE!

Heart Attack: I think maybe you just took a SHOWER this week!

Pillman: That puts me one up on you! Haha! We've got the non-sanctioned bout tonight! Bret Hart, tonight.. you're going to face my best friend, Steve Austin! And Jim Neidhart... you're going to have to deal with me! It's like some new action thriller... and your the star! The plot.... YOUR TIED TO A TIME BOMB, WITH JUST SECONDS LEFT, WHILE YOUR FRIEND IS BRUTALLY ASSAULTED BY A WRECKING MACHINE NAMED STONE COLD!

Publican: And we all know how THAT'S going to turn out! Hahaha!

Pillman: As long as Sabrina Savage doesn't FOUL things up!

Heart Attack: THAT'S for SURE!

Pillman: YOU know THAT! Y'know, there's a lot of games being played right now with the World Title... but it's simple...! Regardless of Psycho Sid winning that match last night... the World Title Belt? IT BELONGS TO THE GIANT! And at WrestleMania... he's going to TAKE IT... be it from Psycho Sid OR Diesel! We're all hoping it's SID!

Heart Attack: I don't think Sid will be as easy as you think! He withstood that match for a LONG time against a LOT of good wrestlers.

Publican: Sid does NOT have what it takes!

Heart Attack: Obviously he DOES, or he wouldn't have won that match!

Pillman: He's TOUGH... but he's not the Giant!

Heart Attack: Sid won.. the Giant DIDN'T!

Pillman: Just WAIT! This Monday Night Raw, the Giant will get his revenge on the Anvil for that pre-match attack in a NO HOLDS BARRED match! But let's talk about something else... the fact that all the title belts are coming to the Empire. The Giant will have the World Belt, Harlem Heat HAS the Unified World Tag Team Belts.... and soon... you may just see the Intercontinental Title belt come to the Empire! Oh yeah, Madusa might win some title, too.

Heart Attack: You don't give her much credit do you?

Pillman: She's got to get her HEAD on straight! But she's going to forget ALL about Mr.Perfect, now that we have the PERFECT Empire member, Terrific Terry Taylor!

Heart Attack: I don't think Madusa is going to be swayed in the least by Terry Taylor!

Pillman: You'd be suprised! Terry Taylor is VERY suave! AND he can wrestle! Did you see RAW? Did you see Taylor give the Perfect Plex? That was the best on I've ever SEEN!

Publican: That's the ONLY Perfect Plex!

Heart Attack: Just like Wild Chylde said... the Giant was REAL tough against MEN. He brought out a whole gang against men... but women... he only needed himself! TRULY, a 'man who fears nothing.'

Pillman: I'm really sorry to NOT see Mr.Perfect here with us tonight. He ALWAYS shines at the big events. Let's see... at In Your House, Heart Attack DUMPED HIM.... then at the Royal Rumble, Stone Cold PUNKED HIM.... it's a shame. We won't know what WOULD have happened to him tonight! He's perfectly SCARED!

Heart Attack: He MIGHT be around. You just might now know it!

Pillman: YOU should know. Are you still SEEING HIM? I mean... outside of you and Corey.. AND your affair with Stardom!

Heart Attack: Oh yeah... and I forgot... I'M EXPECTING???????

Pillman: Yeah! THREE MONTHS PREGNANT!!! Check the WEB PAGE! And no one knows who the FATHER IS....!!!

Heart Attack: No one would be stupid enough...

Pillman: TO ADMIT THAT THEY'RE THE FATHER? YOU'RE RIGHT!!!

Heart Attack: NO ONE WOULD BE STUPID ENOUGH to believe I'm pregnant and wrestling! THINK, Pillman and try to do something that should come naturally!

Pillman: I just follow in your lead and NOT think! Hahaha!

Publican: Good one Pillman!

Pillman: EVERYTHING we do, we make good! And you know why? Because we CAN! Did you see last night on Friday Night Fox? We added MORE people to the Empire! The Giant NEVER left! The Network PALES in comparision to us. The Giant single-handedly destroyed the Network on Raw!

Heart Attack: Your just going to turn into a different version of the Mega Powers with all your people!

Pillman: Not necessarily! And THEY'RE the next target! But think back.... the Empire NEVER used to resort to attacks and tactics like this. The Mega Powers... the nWo... THEY brought it out of us... and now everyone is going to PAY!

Heart Attack: I'll give you that... you didn't start it.

Publican: ALL their taxes are due!

Pillman: And they're going to come up short... like COREY does!

Heart Attack: SHUT UP!

Pillman: Up first, we have the Aerial Assault match between Macho and Sting. I think Sting has got this one. Hands down! You want to talk AERIAL? You talk STING! Macho's thinking too much about the Career Ending Match. He can only think about Flair! He can't concentrate about ANYTHING else!

Heart Attack: Last time we saw Macho, he seemed VERY calm and collected.

Pillman: Yeah, as he walked to the RING! Heh! Yeah... I'd be calm, too, if I had to wrestle... OOOOH... the Blizzard! Give me a BREAK!

Heart Attack: Like your ALWAYS 'calm'!

Pillman: I'M CALM! WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT CALM? I HATE WHEN PEOPLE SAY I'M NOT CALM! OF COURSE I'M CALM! WHAT DO YOU WANT? Let's get to the aerial assault match. Sting and Macho are in the.... WHO THE HELL IS THIS?

(Atlantra comes down to the table. She circles behind Pillman and reaches down.)

Pillman: What NOW? I HATE the women's divison. Lady Tyr. Roxanne. Shi. I HATE this!

(Atlantra whispers into his ear.)

Atlantra: You are so bad... and SO exciting!

Pillman: WHAT?! OH! Hah! Y'see? Everybody loves me! Dead women... ALIVE women... FISH women!

Heart Attack: I think I'm going to be SICK!

Atlantra: Do you mind if I join you?

Pillman: Not at all. Here have a seat on my.... on the SEAT next to me!

(Atlantra sits down next to Pillman.)

Heart Attack: Here's a first. Pillman has an admirer.

Pillman: I have several. Roxanne wants me.

Heart Attack: RIGHT!

Pillman: And YOUR attracted to me, too! I could kick Corey's behind!

Heart Attack: He beat the Intercontinental Champion TWICE!

Pillman: Watch it! We all know how you feel about Stardom!

Atlantra: Derrick is quite handsome. But there is too much ego there for my liking. You really should give him up!

Heart Attack: WHAT!?

Let's get to the Aerial Assault Match... and see the FORMER World Champion lose again! When's the last time Savage won a match?
