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

LEGION OF DOOM PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

Hawk stands next to Roxanne with his arm around her. Animal paces back and forth behind them. Roxanne has her face painted up and is wearing black shoulderpads with big spikes. Her outfit is styled to match the Road Warriors. Her hair is pulled back to reveal the wild make-up. Hawk starts to say something, but Animal pushes him aside and grabs the camera with both hands.

Animal: Horsemen!!! We had you beat last time!!! And this time we have double the referee warnings!!! Double!!! Arn and Chris, I am going to smash you right throught the friggin' mat!!! After this match you'll be lucky if you can even walk!!!

Hawk pushes Animal out of the way.

Hawk: Horsemen, if you are smart you wouldn't even get in the ring. I know I can't control Animal when he gets mad, let alone any ref. And even I can can get angry... AND BELIEVE ME, PUNKS, I AM REALL ANGRY!!! You think Animal is going to use the double disqualification rule to the limit?! My violence will put his to shame!!! In fact how about a little bet Animal... Who ever breaks the most bones wins!!!

Animal: You got it man!!! Horsemen this isn't a wrestling match, this is a war!!! We are not going out there to pin you, we are going out there to HURT YOU!!!!

Hawk: And Woman, oh Woman, won't you put a bag over ugly face, Woman... You are going to fare even worse because you going to face the most violent woman we have ever known...

Animal: Roxanne!!!

Roxanne: Anderson, Benoit! You shamefully attacked Corey Major before your match with him...! A ROOKIE!? Then you attack ME!? Death WISH is an understatement! These two dudes on either side of me are the BADDEST on the planet and they are going to bury you six feet under! And Woman, you won't be interfering in THIS match, because I've got my eyes trained on YOU! Get out of line... and GET HEADBANGED! You're looking at the LEGION OF DOOM HERE! We SNACK ON DANGER.... AND DINE ON DESTRUCTION!

Roxanne, Animal and Hawk: WHAT A RUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!!!!!

MIXED SIX TAG MATCH
the Enforcers & Woman
w/Elizabeth
vs.
the Road Warriors & Roxanne

The Match:
The Horsemen's music begins to play. Chris and Arn come out holding up the four horsemen symbol up. Woman is wearing wrestling tights. Woman goes up to the camera.

Woman: "Roxanne...You B!%@# You're Mine tonight!"

'Iron Man' then starts to play and the SkyDome EXPLODES with energy! The Road Warriors come down the aisle with Roxanne! All are wearing spiked pads! They get into the ring and move toward the Horsemen... who back up in their corner, not wanting anything to do with the sharp spikes! The Legion of Doom toss the pads to the outside and get ready for the match to begin.

Atlantra: Ah, the match I have been waiting for! A chance to see one of my competitors. (smiles.)

Pillman: Roxanne is in WAY over her head! The Horsemen will kill her!

Benoit and Hawk start. Benoit chops Hawk to the head... who chops back! Hawk drops down and drives a shoulder into Benoit's mid-section, doubling him forward. Hawk rises up... UPPERCUT TO THE FACE!

Benoit stumles backward... then charges back with his own punch. The Crippler leaps up... DROPKICK! Hawk is driven back into the Horsemen's corner, where Benoit follows him in and opens up with kicks and punches... a left... a right... a kick... the Crippler is fanatical! He tags in Arn Anderson.

The Enforcers continues with two punches to Hawk's face, wearing away his make-up. Anderson then backs away from the corner with a look of sheer horror.... all that punishment on Hawk... and all he can do is come out of the corner and rear his head back! The fans go WILD!!!!

Hawk bashes Arn down... then chops him with a back hand! Arn is sent for the ride... DROPKICK! Anderson and Hawk go at it tooth and nail, punching and scratching. Hawk ducks his head beneath a punch... and the veteran, Anderson... PILEDRIVES HIM!!! Hawk is down now!

Anderson backs up toward the Legion of Doom's corner... and turns quickly to take a wild swing at Animal... who ducks! Arn, just faking the hit anyway... swings at his real target... ROXANNE! Anderson punches her square in the nose! She drops down onto the apron, clutching at her face! She's BLEEDING!!!! The fans are booing! Anderson holds four fingers up in the air... and the booing gets louder!

Anderson makes a tag to Benoit, who goes to the top rope. Double A sets up Hawk for a Drop DDT! They're going for another Enforcer move... called the Apocalypse! Anderson drops down for the DDT... but Hawk goes no where! He stands up... Benoit leaps... and Hawk drives him in mid-air down to the canvas!!!

Hawk runs to the ropes and pushes down on the top rope, looking out across the SkyDome! He then tags in Animal as the fans are going nuts! Roxanne is getting to her feet, her face covered in her blood. She looks ANGRY!

Animal goes up to the top rope as Hawk SLAMS Benoit in the LOD corner. Animal leaps off the top rope and drops down with both feet on Benoit! Anderson rolls to his corner and gets up. Woman helps him.

Animal and Benoit lock up....
