----------------------------------------------------- PART TEN

FIRST ROUND: KOTR
Eliminator Lucifer Graves
w/Maxx Payne
vs.
JoBo
w/ZoBo

The Match:
'Big Fat Money' begins to play... and the announcer introduces the Eliminator Lucifer Graves. The fans begin to boo. But Lucifer doesn't come out! The fans continue to wait and watch... but no LUCIFER!

JR: What's THIS all about? I hope HE doesn't try to do a Corey Major entrance! He'll kill someone with those 517 pounds!

Sarah: I don't know! Here comes Pat Patterson, one of the ring officials!

Pat Patterson climbs into the ring and speaks with the announcer, Howard Finkel. Howard nods his head and Pat Patterson shrugs. Referee, King Kong Bundy moves over and confers. Then Patterson leaves.

Howard Finkel: Ladies and gentlemen... I have just been informed that the Eliminator Lucifer Graves is NOT in the ARENA! He has therefore FORFEITED the match to his opponent! Thus.. the WINNER of the match, advancing to the King of the Ring..... JOBO!!!!!!

A wave of reactions comes across the fans, as they try to figure out what happened! JoBo's music plays... but he and ZoBo do not come out.

JR: No... they SHOULDN'T come out! That was CHEAP of Lucifer Graves. I may not like JoBo too much... but he's a fighter... he WANTS to fight!

Sarah: What do you think HAPPENED with Lucifer Graves!?

JR: We know he's a bounty hunter! He works for money! Maybe he got PAID to NOT show up!

Sarah: It'll go down in the record books as a VICTORY for JoBo!

JR: And that's quite a victory to HAVE! Lucifer Graves is a FORMER World Champion! He defeated Randy Savage last September, losing the title in October to Vader!

Sarah: Maybe tomorrow night on Raw, we'll get some reactions from JoBo on this! I can't believe it!

JR: Folks, we'd like to apologize for Lucifer Grave's actions! You expected a match... and we couldn't deliver! We're sorry for that!

Sarah: Well, let's keep the show rolling, JR. Let's go now... BACKSTAGE!


VALETIA VON STRAHDEN

<scene is backstage. The room is dark but you can see the shape of two figures. A light finally shines from the top and it is revealed to be Valetia Von Strahden and Trent Reznor. They both have axes. Trent rips the axe part off and turns around with his handle. The camera zooms into Lady Tyr lying on the ground, bloody and unconcious. Trent bashes her in the skull again with that axe handle>

Valetia: I want a title shot and I don't care who I have to go through to get it. Just ask Dream how tough I am, no wait a second I scared her off.

<Valetia turns and administers the Bite to Lady Tyr. The crimson is flowing freely from Tyr and finally Trent pulls Valetia off Lady Tyr and they both walk out arm in arm.>


JR: WHAT WAS THAT?! Lady Tyr? That wasn't Lady Tyr was it? I don't think she's in the BUILDING! Oh MAN!

Sarah: Looks like Valetia may pick up where her old mentor, the Dream left off!

JR: What a shame! It was the FANS that took her to new heights! Whether that was Tyr or not... she's sending a message out to those fans!

Sarah: Maybe we can FIND Tyr! See if she's alright!

JR: We'll give it a try! I.... wait a minute!

Jim Ross puts his hand up to his head-set.

Sarah: What is it, Jim?

JR: Just a moment. I'm.... well... I've got to to up to the ring. I'm not exactly sure why. But this is from PIPER himself!

Sarah: Well, you'd better GO then!

Jim Ross gets up into the ring....
