: the PRE-GAME SHOW: the PRE-GAME SHOW
JR: WELL... there is apparently more going on here then we KNEW! There may be more powers then we were aware of! This SPELL BOOK! Perhaps that's why we haven't seen the Dream in action since Valetia Von Strahden LEFT the Dream Team! Maybe without this...'spell book'... she's POWERLESS! Maybe that's why she wants this match in the SEWERS! I don't know WHAT'S going on!
Heart Attack: Things are getting decidedly FREAKY in the World Wrestling Federation, I have to say.
Pillman: At least they're not giving ME the devil sign, though!
Heart Attack: Certainly NOT! Valetia may have lived in the sewers, but the sewers ALWAYS belonged to the DREAM. And the Rebirth will probably get a hand in on this match, considering they promised to bring Valetia back to the Dream.
Sarah: Yeah, I think this one is going to have a LOT do do with outside interference. But look at WHO has WHO on their side! I think in the end, we're going to see Valetia Von Strahden come out on top.
Heart Attack: What can you really say about a 'sewer' match. I mean... what are the rules?
Pillman: WHO KNOWS! I'm just glad they're down in the sewers and not up here where Valetia can come after me and the King, with those TEETH! Do you think she's DEVENOMIZED?
Heart Attack: She seems to LIKE YOU!
Pillman: OH NO! She's hitting on the KING, now!
Heart Attack: Maybe she likes ROYAL blood!
JR: Well, it's going to be a wild match, regardless of the rules. I guess the rules are you just fight it out until one can't continue! But there seems to be a lot of traps and things set up down in the sewers, but VVS once lived there as well. She may know all the ins and outs... and nooks and crannies of the sewers. The Dream and Mankind can't suprise Valetia... but the Rebirth COULD!
JR: Now... speaking of the women's matches... we also have the WOMEN'S WORLD TITLE on the line! Shi will be defending in her SEVENTH title match in just two months... against Wild Chylde DiBiase, a former champion. Let's hear from the challenger first... then the Ladies champion!
WILD CHYLDE DIBIASE
Wild Chylde sits in the Raw control center with a T.V. next to her and a remote in her hand. She turns to the camera.
Wild Chylde: My second chance at the title.
(She points to the monitor with the remote and the screen shows the Giant attacking during her last match with Shi.)
Wild Chylde: And my second chance to be women's champ! Yes I beat Shi once, fair and square and yet I didn't get the chance to see if I could do it again for the title.
(She turns back to the monitor and points the remote again. Now you see Hakushi arguing with the referee to restart the match. Wild Chylde nods emphatically to start the match as well. Wild Chylde turns back to the camera.)
Wild Chylde: Not from lack of trying. And now it seems I've got another Empire cronie to think about!
(Another point of the remote and Sabrina is seen spraying Wild Chylde during her match with Pali-Alizar. Then it switches to Sabrina, beating on Wild Chylde with a chair during Perfect's match.)
Wild Chylde: You know, I wonder if I'll lose my chance again? Or maybe I'll just nix Sabrina, real quiet. Never can tell! I've got my eyes on the prize, Shi! And you are one of the best around. But despite everything. I'm ready! See ya at WrestleMania.
(Wild Chylde points the remote at the camera and the screen goes snowy.)
SHI
(Hakushi, the Kyoto Ninja and two of Hakushi's students stand on the second level of his training facility. Each of them hold an empty plate in their hand.... and there are many more in front of them. The camera pans down to find Shi, standing but 15' below them. She holds her kendo stick and stares straight ahead at the camera.)
Hakushi: BEGIN!
The four at the top begin to drop down plates, as quickly as they can in no particular order or fashion. The plates fall towards Shi.....
Shi begins to swing around her kendo stick, while staring straight ahead. The first plate reaches... and is shattered with the stick. The next plate comes down... and another... BOTH are blasted apart with one swing. More plates continue to fall... three... four... five.... six...!!!! All are smashed with the whirlwind strikes of the Womens' Champion. No plate reaches the ground untouched. Some are even smashed once... and AGAIN!!!
Hakushi: STOP!! Shi... stick!
Shi, still looking straight at the camera... heaves the kendo stick up into the air. Hakushi catches it and sets it behind him.
Hakushi: BEGIN!
The four on the second level begin dropping plates again. Shi, this time, uses her fists and legs to smash and blast the plates into smaller pieces. She never takes her eyes off of the camer as she extends out her fist to smash a plate. Again, no plate touches the ground without being first shattered into pieces. And no plate touches Shi, except on her fists, feet and occasional knee.
Hakushi: STOP!!! Shi...
Shi awaits Hakushi's next instruction... and it is another test. Silently, the two students drop down behind Shi.... and she pretends she doesn't hear them.
Hakushi: Now face... Kyoto Ninja!
The Kyoto Ninja makes a yell as he flips off the second level and lands in front of her. The two students come up behind her. Shi drops down to her chest, bracing herself up with her hands. She sweeps back with both legs and trips the on-rushing students. The Ninja flips OVER her and comes up behind....
Shi does a tuck and roll away from him and spins up to her feet. The two students regain their footing and make a charge again. They rush in, yelling loudly. Shi hits a defensive stance and holds her ground. A kick to the left one dispatches him. A solid karate punch to the right one drops him.
The Ninja rushes in. Shi ducks his first volley... and lifts him up with a spring punch. The Ninja is knocked back. Shi takes a large stride forward... and hits the Art of War Crescent Kick! The Ninja is knocked back... and down. All three concede.
Shi looks up to Hakushi and bows deeply. Hakushi nods. Shi rises up and looks at the camera....
Shi: Wild Chylde DiBiase... attack one foe to defeat another. I have defeated many to reach you at WrestleMania. Sayonara.
Shi nods to the camera... and it fades out.
