Providence, RI

Dok: Welllll, later on, Jim Ross is going to get that interview he was promised with Tyr and the Undertaker. Maybe they'll talk MORE about VVS and Raven!

Dok is along ringside now.

Dok: As you know, the Tournament is what brought us all together. The winner receives the WWF TELEVISION TITLE! But the mystery behind it ALL is with the Scott Hall/JoBo match. WILL there be a change in the Quarter Final line-up?

Dok: Well... the answer lies with President Rowdy Roddy Piper. He seems to know. We'll go to him... and then we will begin.... THE KING OF THE RING!!!!

ROWDY RODDY PIPER

Piper is in his office. His desk is cluttered with WWF Rulebooks. Pages have been torn out and scribbled on.

Piper: Everybody seems to be thinking that I'm changing one of the matches at the King of the Ring. And while one of these papers here says NOW that I can.... I AIN'T!

Piper: JoBo qualified for the King of the Ring. Maybe not by the USUAL means... but then again neither did SCOTT HALL.

Piper shoves some papers aside. A marker falls off the table.

Piper: So that's okay! RIGHT?! (pauses) WRONG! It's one thing when it's one on one, two guys beating the HECK out of each other for whatever goal they think is important.

Piper: But it's ANOTHER thing when it's three, four, five guys on ONE, with the only goal being to INJURE, MAIN and WOUND the lone man. I've seen that TWICE for this King of the Ring.

Piper: One of them happened to JoBo. And he's here. He ain't up to full strength, but he's been cleared to wrestle. The OTHER time, it happened to Scott Hall's NEW first round opponent.

Piper holds up his hand. Motioning to give him a moment to explain...

Piper: I said FIRST FOUND. We're already into the QUARTER-FINALS. So what that spells out is this....MR.SCOTT HALL MUST QUALIFY AGAIN FOR THE KING OF THE RING!

Piper: And don't tell me I can't do that... because BABY I JUST DID!

Dok Hendriks' voice cuts in from the arena.

Dok: President Piper! President Piper! Can you tell us who his opponent will be?

Piper: SURE!

Dok: Welll.... WHO IS IT?

Piper: (glances at his watch) Awww... look at the TIME! We got a PAY-PER-VIEW to get to!

Dok: NO WAIT! We still have TEN SECONDS!!! TELL US!!

Piper: (looks slyly at the camera) Yer gonna have ta BUY THE PAY-PER-VIEW FOR THAT ONE!!!!

The screen fades to black as the countdown reaches....
