: the PRE-GAME SHOW: the PRE-GAME SHOW
JR: Well, there you have it! This feud between Sting and Double J has been building up for WEEKS! Sneak attacks, left and right. Droppin' out of the rafters...! Sting seems to be on some kind of crusade against everybody in the federation, but he's targeted mostly... Double J. Now I'll hand it out to you folks...
Sarah: This is a feud that has really grown in the last few weeks. But if I'm to call this one, I think Sting is going to win this one. Double J has not been very effective as of late, though he has been able to give a real show when he steps into the ring. It doesn't change the fact that he hasn't won his last few matches.
Heart Attack: Well... he DID win the match against the TWO Super Machines... whoever the other one may have been!
Pillman: I have NO IDEA! Why do you look at ME? Why do you assume everything is MY fault!?
Heart Attack: Jarrett has a lot to live up to. He's got Pamela Anderson down there... he's got to look good for her. He's got all these new fans that he hasn't had before, pulling for him. Let's hope he can live up to it!
Pillman: I think Double J will do just fine. But this is STING! He's mysterious! Who KNOWS what he's thinking! He's attacking everybody! He's got the ball bat... and just like Double J said... HE'S GOT THE HORSEMEN!
Heart Attack: True enough... but I don't think Ric Flair would risk getting involved!
Pillman: But the ENFORCERS have no match at WrestleMania. And I think anybody that's a Horsemen enemy is going to find themselves face to face with the Enforcers.
JR: Well, I believe this will be a good match. And in my opinion, it's going to be the SLEEPER match. Now what I mean by 'sleeper' is that it could be the match that STEALS the show at WrestleMania. It's the first match, but I think the two of them have the skills to make a great showing and performance, right off the bat! It's going to be phenomenal!
JR: Now... another match that's going to be great... it doesn't have any stipulations... but the history behind this is INTENSE! It's going to be Austin and Pillman...
Pillman: Yeah!
JR: Against the Hart Foundation! Let's go now... to the footage!
PILLMAN AND AUSTIN
(The camera opens up into Brian Pillman's house in Ohio. He and Stone Cold are standing next to each other. Sabrina Savage is behind them at an adding machine. Pillman looks at the camera.)
Pillman: Is that f'n thing ON? (pauses) GOOD! Take a look at this.
(Pillman starts to walk away, Austin reaches out and you can tell he's grabbing the camera man by the collar. They walk to the outside.)
Pillman: Get a good look at THAT!
(The camera zooms in on his hummer. All four tires have been slashed... the windows have been busted in and there's pink and black spray paint all over it.)
Stone Cold: Don't just stand there playing with your focus, son... look around.
(The camera is spun around to show... the trash cans... dented and trash strewn about the yard. The flower bed is a mess. One of the shutters on the house is hanging down. The window is cracked. The camera is spun quickly again, facing right at Pillman who gets into it. The camera takes a second before it focuses.)
Pillman: Now I know you're saying... that ANYBODY could do that! Anybody would have a MILLION reasons to hate Brian Pillman. I'm smarter, better looking and wittier then almost EVERYBODY! But when the police arrive on the scene... when the investigators start digging up clues... there's ONE suspect who's coming to mind!
Austin: (pulls the camera to him.) THAT'S YOU, Neidhart! You pot-bellied, beer drinkin' piece of trash! You came on LIVE TV and threatened Brian. Claimin' that you knew where he lived and told him you just might do something about it! Well, son, you may have vandalized Brian's house... but we're gonna vandalize you at WrestleMania.
Pillman: Sabrina is assessing the damages. There's lots more then just what this stooge with the camera can show. There's some things around here that the six o'clock NEWS wouldn't show! Jim Neidhart... YOU'RE going to PAY! And Sabrina... just HOW MUCH IS HE GOING TO PAY?
(Sabrina walks up with an adding machine tape. She's going through it checking over some things, making final calculations.)
Sabrina: He's going to have to pay a whole lot more then he's GOT! According to MY exact... and ALWAYS accurate assessments... the Hart Foundation can pay for the damages... physical, mental AND emotional.... WITH THEIR CAREERS!
Austin: That and 50 cents will by you two quarters! But it don't matter, see? Because for all the damages around here... it can be fixed. But Hart Foundation... the damage that me and Time Bomb are going to inflict on you.... that's going to be PERMANENT! The Bottom Line IS... the Hart Foundation are nothin' but worthless pieces of trash that can't face a man one on one... without gettin' into hockey masks or bringin' down weapons or hiding behind the REST of the Mega Pansies. But Stone Cold Steve Austin and Brian F'N Pillman are headin' into Chicago and we'll MAKE you face us one on one, man to man... and then we'll pound you into the mat! And the pink and black is gonna be BLACK AND BLUE! It's called Austin 3:16... and you're gettin' BIG dose of it at WrestleMania. WHY?! Because Stone Cold SAID SO!!!!
