: the PRE-GAME SHOW: the PRE-GAME SHOW
JR: BOTH of them seem to be preparing in seperate ways. Wild Chylde is reflecting on the past and is making plans on how to avoid that in the future. Shi seems to be focusing on the here and now. Wild Chylde is the one person that Shi has NEVER defeated!
Heart Attack: I think Shi is going to keep the title, due...(looks at Pillman) to something from the Empire. I don't think they can leave Wild Chylde alone.
(Pillman shrugs innocently.)
Sarah: Well, Wild Chylde has the fans behind her.... but so does Shi. It's going to be a hard fought battle. But as long as the Empire can stay out of it, I think Wild Chylde WILL do it!
Pillman: WHO CARES!? Who CARES about the Women's Title!?
Heart Attack: Obviously not YOU!
Pillman: Madusa is going to be at WrestleMania... and she's going to make the announcement that she's going to challenge the winner of the match. Then the title will come back home to the Empire.
Heart Attack: I'm sure you think that's true.
Pillman: Shi has the personality of a ROCK! And Wild Chylde is just as stupid as one.
Sarah: She is not.
Heart Attack: I don't think you'd say that to Shi's face!
Pillman: I definitely WOULDN'T! I wouldn't say it to WILD CHYLDE'S face! They're NUTS!
JR: Well, it's going to be a good match. And I tend to think that Wild Chylde DiBiase just might have more of a reason to win the title. I think Shi has been running herself RAGGED. She's had many previous defenses, and she's already signed defenses for the next two Raws! However, if anybody can do that type of schedule, and be successful at it... it would be the Women's Champion, Shi.
JR: The winner of this next match that we're gonna get to... MAY have a title shot on Raw, if Shi keeps her title through WrestleMania. The winner of... the very mysterious Exorcism Match. Now I have no idea what this is! Maybe Roxanne can shed some light on it. Let's go to her now.
ROXANNE
(The camera pulls back away from a black pair of shoulderpads with black spikes on them. Next to them is a black Calgary Hitmen Jacket. The camera continues to pull back to show a gym. In the foreground, out of focus, is a figure working out. The figure stops moving... and a loud CLANG! is heard as the weights are set down. The camera focuses and Roxanne is standing. She looks exhausted yet determined. She dabs a towel at her forehead, then throws the towel aside.)
Roxanne: You can't pick up a magazine... newspaper... or newsletter without hearing about WrestleMania! And everytime I read about this Exorcism Match... and I read about Womankind... all I see is how they say she's 'UNPREDICTABLE'... 'UNCONTROLLABLE'.... 'UNSTABLE'.
(Roxanne shakes her head with a tight smile.)
Roxanne: Yeah, right. On Raw, I wasn't suprised... and neither were the 20,000 fans who were watching my back! The Rock-a-holics knew you were comin'! They knew what you were wielding... and they knew who you were comin' FOR! That's why I could scoop you up and heave your butt right out of my way. I've had BUSINESS to take care of! And it's all done now... leaving only YOU!
(Roxanne lifts up her leg onto the bench and pats her knee.)
Roxanne: Last year... when you jumped me after my match... and put me in the figure four for those agonizing minutes...and tore my leg up... almost PERMANENTLY...... THEN you were unpredictable. THEN, we weren't ready for you. But since that time... not much has changed about you. Same tactics... jumping from behind... using chairs. But me... oh yes... I've changed. Now I know that there IS no saving you. I've tried to help you. When you were with the Horsemen and Gilbert... I defended you. I KNEW you were with the wrong people. And I tried to help. But now... that's changed. I've listened to the fans... I've listened to them. And they don't WANT you back Womankind! They don't WANT to cheer for you! They don't WANT to SEE you! The Rock-a-holics have spoken! And they've told me... to EXORCISE YOU FROM THE WWF!!!
(The camera pulls close to Roxanne's face.)
Roxanne: See you in Chicago, Womankind..... one... last... time.
JR: I think the thing that's going against Roxanne in this case IS... she doesn't know what an Exorcism Match IS! Roxanne has never lost to Womankind, or Missy Hyatt or ANY of her identities. But this time, Womankind has got a couple ACES up her sleeve!
Sarah: I don't know what an Exorcism match is, but I don't think it's going to matter. Roxanne is going to come out on top! She has too many people depending on her, and I don't mean wrestlers.
Heart Attack: I think the fact that she DOESN'T know what this match is, is something she's got going for her. Womankind has to live up to keeping up her end of the bargain for this 'Exorcism' match... and Roxanne doesn't, because she doesn't know what it means!
Pillman: I'm not sure what this thing is EITHER! Exorcism Match! You're RIGHT! The WWF IS going GOOFY! Peole givin' devil signs... spell books.... vampires tryin' to get people in their coffins! And now... EXORCISMS?
Heart Attack: It's like Halloween all year round!
Pillman: It IS like Halloween all year round! And it looks like YOU'VE been eating some candy!
Heart Attack: Ah, you'd LIKE to think that, wouldn't you?
Pillman: Well, we know you're not pregnant now. I'm tryin' to help you out.
Sarah D: I'm going to have to agree with Roxanne. Womankind has become VERY predictable.
Heart Attack: But this is another match where you have to look out for the Rebirth. We saw what happened between Womankind and Phoenix. I think that despite the fact she doesn't LIKE it, she's going to have people watching out for her.
JR: She doesn't tend to like havin' extra help, but she just might need it in this one.
Pillman: Yeah, she's gonna need it! She's REALLY gonna need it if this match happens after Sabrina kicks the <bleep> out of her!
Heart Attack: I don't think Sabrina HAS what it takes to kick the... out of Roxanne.
Pillman: She handled YOU pretty well I remember... until DERRICK saved your hide!
Heart Attack: I NEVER claimed to be... Roxanne!
(Pillman gives her the once over. Heart Attack glares at him.)
JR: Alright, calm down now. Let's get back to the matter at hand. This is the WrestleMania preview show!
Heart Attack: Don't make Jim Ross mad, Pillman!
