...He looks at it intently.) Gimme a second.
Sabrina:Corey you can back out of it any time you want once you've signed.
Roxanne: Are you SURE, Corey... that you can cancel this whenever you want? That doesn't SEEM LIKE SABRINA! (shoots her a suspecting glance.)
Sabrina:Let Corey make his own choice Roxanne. He knows how to read a contract!
Bam Bam: She ain't lyin'. It's all there. I checked it out myself. If he wants out... HE GETS OUT!
Corey: (looks up) Well, I know the Harts say I don't have to do this for them. And Roxanne, I know I don't have to do it for you. But I know that none of you would ask for help... and that's cool. But... what about... Heart Attack? And Wild Chylde? Will THEY be safe, too?
Sabrina:I never agreed to that but in the interest of good faith....fine! As long as they don't come after me and mine, I'll leave them be!
Corey: (looks down at the contract.) That parts up a bit for interp... intrepi.... intra... YOU CAN READ IT anyway you want!
Roxanne: DON'T sign it, Corey! Think about it some more.
Sabrina:This is your chioce to make Corey! (looks irritated with Roxanne)
JR: Mr. Major? Corey... we need a decision.
Corey: My decision, dude? I.... gotta give it more time. Sabrina, we'll talk about this some more. You sign it here.... and then I'm going to take this contract to someone... to look over. We'll keep working on this.
Roxanne looks a little relieved. Sabrina signs her name on the contract, and Corey folds it up and puts it in his back pocket. He high-fives Bam Bam and JR, then he and Roxanne turn and leave.
JR: Well, he didn't sign it yet... but we're getting closer to a resolution! Let's get back to MORE Qualify 97!
JIM CORNETTE
Jim: Well Jarrett, tonights the night. You finally get to hand over the I.C. Title to my VADER. The first time was a fluke, and it will never happen again. Now Sid. VADER has beaten you before, and he will do it again...only this time it will be for the title. It will happen Sid, but the sooner it happens the less painful it will be.
Jim: One last thing, what is with the Hart Foundation? These guys were cheating more then Don King! You guys wanna play ruff with Demolition, then FINE!! Sign the match, Hart Foundation vs Demolition in a no DQ match! Then everything will be settled.
DOUBLE J JEFF JARRETT PRE-MATCH COMMENTS
Mean Gene: I'm standing here with the Intercontinental Champion, Jeff Jarrett, who was also the man voted Wrestler of the Month, incedently, and Double J tonight you're steping in to defend against the man you took the title from . . . you former best friend, Vader!
Double J: Ha Ha Ha! Yes indeed, Gene! Tonight's the big night! Vader, in just a little while, punk, I'm gonna finish what I started back on TNT! That leg of yours has a big ol' bullseye on it, and I'm gonna zero in on it once we get goin'! I hope you brought that wheelbarrow, Cornette, cause you're gonna need it!
Mean Gene: Double J, this past week on TNT after a BRUTAL assault on Shawn Michaels, we heard The Giant claim that he was tired of guys like Sid and Diesel, and that he wanted YOU upcoming this week! What about it?
Double J: You know, Mean Gene, there's been a lot of cowardly acts in the WWF over the past few months. I remember a guy who ran in and beat on some of the lady wrestlers. I remember a guy who attacked an injured Mr. Perfect. And just this week on TNT, I saw a guy need 2 of his friends in order to take somebody out. And ALL of those instances had to do with you, Giant! You're nothin' but a walking COWARD! You think it's about time you get a title shot? Wasn't it YOU who faced Diesel for the title at WrestleMania? There's a whole LIST of people more deserving of a shot than you are, Giant, and once I work my way down them is the ONLY time you're getting a title shot! But if you just want an asskicking, then I ACCEPT your challenge for TNT! I've beaten you before, and I'll do it again!
Mean Gene: All right, Double J, let's say that you defeat Vader here tonight and keep your Intercontinental title. What's next on your plate?
Double J: Mean Gene, I'm glad you asked! You know, there's a big guy walkin' around the WWF who calls himself Sid! He's also callin' himself the WWF Champion now! Sid, win or lose for me tonight, you've got a challenge on your door! Title, non-title, it doesn't matter to me. I want a shot at the big dog, and then the WORLD can see exactly why I AM the Wrestler of the Month!
Mean Gene: My thanks to Jeff Jarrett, who's got the big title defense later on here tonight! Let's -
Double J: Hold on, did I say I was done?
Mean Gene: Oh! I'm sorry.
Double J: Vader, you're goin' back to school tonight, and I'm bringing the paddle down with me! You've been taking up too much space here in the WWF, and tonight you finally get the kick right down to the bottom that you've been deserving all these months! And Giant . . . you'd better not worry too much about me, pal. Cause after what you did, you and your buddies are gonna have Diesel and Shawn Michaels on your tail! And take it from me, a guy who's dealt with both of them . . . it's NO easy ride! Mean Gene, NOW I'm done!
Mean Gene: Wait, let me ask you something real quick. You and Elizabeth . . . we know she was your secret admirer, but is there anything between you two?
Double J: Uh . . . well, I'd say -
Mean Gene: Come on, Jarrett! Don't try to swerve me!
Double J: Uh . . . I think they're callin' me off camera! Talk to you later, Gene!
(Double J exits from the view of the camera.)
Mean Gene: Well, I guess I'm not getting a straight answer out of him tonight! Let's get back to ringside.
