The Match:
Sid's music begins to play! The 60,000 fans go MAD!! Bright white fireworks go off and Sid comes down to the ring, extending his fist to the fans. He stops halfway down the aisle and screams... WHO'S THE MAN????

Sid comes up the ringsteps and steps over the ropes... and gets down on one knee. In huge red fireworks... the name... SID appears! Psycho Sid goes into the corner to wait as Slick gets up and pats him on the back, offering encouragement. Sarah D is at ringside, with her head down.

Suddenly, the lights in the arena go out, and spotlights race across the crowd! There is silence for a long moment, then the sound of a diesel starting up.. but it's somehow different this time. The engine gets louder, and two spotlights appear at the top of the aisle, aimed into the arena. The rest of the spotlights converge on the top of the aisle to reveal they're not spotlights, but headlights on.. A BLACK AND CHROME SEMI!! The air horn blares, the lights come up, and Diesel's music starts blasting through the speakers, as Big Daddy Cool throws open the door and steps out to the thunderous roar of the crowd!! He walks onto the hood of the truck, and stands there for a moment, hands in the air, and then signals for the Jackknife!! The crowd continues to cheer madly as he jumps down, and the Sensei appears from the other door and joins Diesel in front of the semi. They walk down to the ring, slapping hands with all the fans!

Sid waits for Diesel to get in the ring completely and be ready. Then he gets up into his face.. and they have a long staredown! Diesel raises up an arm in the air for a test of strength. SID ACCEPTS! No one is SITTING in the stands!

Diesel and Sid lock up!!! They're bodies rumble into each other and neither gives any quarter! Sid starts to drive Diesel back... but Diesel powers forward.... and BREAKS SID DOWN!!! Diesel clotheslines Sid to the canvas and drops an elbow on him... SID GETS A KNEE UP!!!!

Sid and Diesel rise up. Sid attempts a kneelift... but Diesel blocks it! Big Daddy Cool shoulderblocks Sid TWO TIMES before knocking him down! Diesel drops a leg across Sid's chest... then stands up... AND MISSES ANOTHER ELBOWDROP!!!!

Once again Sid and Diesel battle up to their feet! Sid knee lifts Diesel in the stomach... Diesel... BODYSLAMS PSYCHO SID!!! Sid immediately starts to sit up... Diesel snatches him... JACK-KNIFE!!!! Diesel covers...1... 2.... KICKOUT!

The two battle up to their feet...and Diesel maintains control.... SCOOP SIDE SUPLEX!!! Diesel measures Sid... DROP PUNCH! Diesel stands up and looks out to the fans.... and behind him... SID STANDS UP... NOT HURT AT ALL!!!

Sid: WHO'S THE MAN????!!!!!!

Diesel turns around and Sid knife-edges him in the face... then again!!! Sid whips Diesel to the corner full force.... head-on! Sid runs in and forearm smashes Diesel in the back! Sid HEADBUTTS Diesel in the back of the head, then brings up a knee to the small of the champions back.

Sid steps aside and Diesel backs up into the center of the ring, favoring his back. Sid runs at Diesel from behind...FOOTBALL TACKLE!!!! Diesel is knocked clear to the other side of the ring!

Sid gets down on one knee and looks out to the fans. Diesel pauses for a second, bracing himself on the ropes. He sees Sid get up and turn around... and he runs... FRONT ELBOW BLOCK! SID GOES DOWN! Diesel does a LEGDROP! He then pulls up Sid... JACK-KNIFE!!!!

Diesel drops down on top of Sid, and hooks the leg.....1... 2...
