FRIDAYNIGHTFOX
The fans begin to boo as the Giant makes his way up to the Interview stand, overlooking the audience. Following him up onto the stand is Todd Pettingill, Terry Taylor, and Doom. Doom is in their masks and capes. Everyone else is dressed in black leather trench coats.
Todd: Listen up, wrestling fans! Because the Giant has something to say!
Todd steps back next to Doom.
Giant: I would like to announce my new manager....THE EMPEROR EDDIE GILBERT!
(The place falls quiet as the Empire's music plays. Gilbert, Power and Glory and Stone Cold Steve Austin come up to the stand. They pause for a second and everyone looks out to the fans. The Giant opens his leather trench coat to reveal.... an EMPIRE T-SHIRT! Terry Taylor opens his to reveal a shirt that says... THE PERFECT EMPIRE MEMBER, TERRY TAYLOR!!)
Emperor: Hahaha! Welcome to the Empire, Terry Taylor. And Giant... excellent job. But we'll get to that in a minute. First I want to welcome in our new tag team.... DOOM!
(Doom step forward and hold open their black capes to reveal Empire t-shirts as well. They then remove their masks and hold them up.... IT'S BOOKER T. AND STEVIE RAY!)
Emperor: Hahahaha! Brilliant! And now there's ONE left....
(Gilbert looks to Todd Pettingill. Todd backs up... and looks toward Stone Cold. Todd looks mad. He puts his fists up toward Austin. Stone Cold steps up. Austin grabs Todd by the leather trenchcoat and RIPS it off of him.... revealing a t-shirt on Todd that says... AUSTIN 3:16! Todd smiles up at Stone Cold and they give a friendly embrace, laughing.)
Todd: I can't stay mad at you Stone Cold! I can forgive you for what you did to me last year. Friends?
(Todd extends his hand.)
Stone Cold: Friends. (shakes it.)
Todd: With the Emperor's help, the EMPIRE will be going to the top! One way or another I will become the Vice President of the WWF. SO BAM BAM ...YOUR GONNA CHICKENOUT...WHEN THE GIANT WINS THE GOLD WE WILL HAVE A BARGANNING CHIP THAT MAYWIPE THAT YELLOW STREAK OF YOUR BACK!!!!
Giant: All the pieces are moving into place. When I win the Four sided match... and beat Diesel... I'll have to challenge MYSELF for the title at WrestleMania!!!
(Everyone laughs.)
Stevie Ray: Yeah, boy! Cause all the other chumps in the fed are just SUCKAAAASSS!!!!
Booker T: Ain't nobody wit moves like US. No damn Sharpshooter! No Perfect Plex! Hell no! It's EMPIRE! SUCKAAAS!
Terry Taylor: (motions to himself) Now that was a REAL PERFECT PLEX! Watch the tapes and you'll learn how I won THIS! (Taylor holds up his WCW U.S. Title.)
Emperor: Network, I'll give you credit. You didn't fall for our ploy. The Giant NEVER left the Empire. But it has now been proven that other stables want him... and the Harlem Heat here. These GLADIATORS get countless calls daily from other managers and stables. But read 'em and weep. They're Empire Material! The Network was the only ones smart enough to NOT fall for the ploy. But it's said that if you only affect ONE person, then it's all worthwhile. Well, we fooled the Undertaker sure enough! We tricked him into showing the Giant the secrets of the Darkside! And now... it's power's belong to the Giant! The Empire is stronger then ever! And tomorow night... we'll fan our FLAMES even more! Is it HOT in here... or is it just the Empire?
