FRIDAYNIGHTFOX


Jim Ross: Up next here on Fox, Terry, we're going to have a LIVE King's Court. Jerry Lawler's guest will be Nature Boy, Ric Flair! Flair will be going for the World Title these next two nights... but at WrestleMania, he's putting his CAREER on the line!

Bradshaw: Well, let me say from experience, it's not easy being 'sidelined' while others pass the ball around. When your career and liveliehood is on the line, you'll do anything to claw your way back in and hang on for a little while longer.

Jim Ross: I'm sure Flair has many plans and ideas running through his head. Let's go now to that special King's Court... and then we'll start out preparations for the Four Sided Match! Remember, the winner receives a title shot tomorrow night at the Countdown up in Toronto. And you want to talk big, Terry... you've got to talk about the WWF Champion, Big Daddy Cool, Diesel!

Bradshaw: Seven FEET, over 300 pounds. Can ANYBODY beat this guy?

Jim Ross: It's no easy task... but the King's guest has done it. Let's head down to the King's Court.


KING'S COURT

KING: Welcome back to the King's Court, peons! We're here this week to welcome a VERY special guest!

(The crowd picks up a "BURGER KING!" chant, which gets louder and louder.)

KING: Hey, if you don't stop that Burger King stuff . . . I'll . . . well, I won't be held responsible for what happens! But like I was saying, you bunch of morons, tonight's guest is VERY special! Right here, later on tonight, he will be in the big 4 way match to determine a #1 contender to the WWF title! Not only has he already beaten one of the men currenly in the match, he's beaten the reigning champion Diesel, too! I'm talking about none other than . . . "Nature Boy" RIC FLAIR!!

(The theme from 2001 plays through the arena, as Ric Flair walks through the curtain and gives a "WHOOOO!" to the crowd! Flair walks to the King's Court set and stands with the King.)

KING: Ric Flair, thanks for being on the King's Court on this very important night!

FLAIR: JERRY . . . WHOOOOO . . . LAWLER!! The Nature Boy and the Horsemen are IN the building!

KING: Yeah!! Now, Ric, right here later tonight, you step in the ring against THREE other men! Sid, The Giant, and Vader! The winner gets the WWF title match at the Countdown to WrestleMania this weekend! But you've ALREADY beaten Sid! You've already beaten DIESEL, the reigning champion, too! How do you think this one is going to turn out?

FLAIR: You know, King, it seems that love is in the air here in the World Wrestling Federation! We've got The Blizzard and Sunny ready to walk that LONG aisle and say their vows of holy matrimony! We've got Brian Pillman throwing around tapes that are making EVERYBODY blush and turn away from the TV! We've got Lady Tyr and the Undertaker styling and profiling together! We've got Jeff Jarrett running around Hollywood with Pamela Anderson on his arm! And later tonight, Ric Flair goes one step closer to HIS true love, and that is the WWF Title! Diesel, I already beat you, big man, and you know that I can do it again!

KING: Aren't you overlooking the other 3 wrestlers you have to face later tonight?!?

FLAIR: King, what are the two things that Sid, Vader, and The Giant have in common?

KING? Well . . . they're big!

FLAIR: Right! They're BIG and they're DUMB! They are nowhere near the league of the Nature Boy! SID! I've already gotten a win over you! VADER! Big man, you're no easy task, but rest assured that I'll get the job done! GIANT! Those tree trunk legs of yours won't be too sturdy once the Figure Four is on them! And after I finish with these three, it's on to the Countdown and Big Daddy Cool!

KING: Are you at all concerned about the Macho Man sticking his nose into the match tonight? We've seen him snap over recent weeks!

FLAIR: SAVAGE! Stick your nose in my business tonight, and myself and the Horsemen will BREAK IT OFF! Keep your focus on the Stinger, Macho, cause he has personally assured me that you won't even make it to WrestleMania!

KING: OK, Ric! Thanks again for being here this week! Any final remarks?

FLAIR: King, it's like this! Randy Savage WAS the man, and I beat him! Diesel IS the man, and I beat him! Tonight, Ric Flair goes through 3 other men to prove once and for all that I am the GREATEST in the history of the WWF! And King, I've got lady luck on my shoulders tonight! WHOOOOO!

(Flair's music starts back up as he walks back to the dressing rooms, sticking out his hand to a fan for a handshake, and then running through his hair and giving another "WHOOOOO!")
