Scene: Las Vegas Medical/Recreational Facility - Las Vegas, Nevada Time: Saturday, 2.7.04 - 11:18 AM Next Match: @ Redemption Vs. Steven Richards [Non Title - Singles Match]
[|. xwf .|] REDEMPTION... for one man and a night the other will only want to forget come this Saturday Night in Las Vegas, Nevada. Steven Richards has dared to go where no man has yet gone.. and that's underneath the skin of The XWF World Champion Randy Orton. Steven Richards' crazy impersonation acts have left Randy to wonder if his opponent has any sanity left in him at all, and if so what kind've threat if any does he pose to Randy? and Will The Champ be able to overcome his first challenge since winning the belt at The Royal Rumble. Steve Richards, a man who is a former XWF World Heavyweight Champion and a man looking to make a comeback like no other and defeat Randy on Redemption. But to think that Randy (The Champ) would not have a little something up that expensive sleeve of his would be downright foolishness, Randy is ready and prepared for any challenge, any obstacle, or opponent that comes his way.. and you can bet your bottom dollar that he is not about to let some fraud, some fake or some phony the likes of Steven Richards to just waltz on into that XWF Ring and think that he even stands a chance in hell. No No No.. Randy Orton fears no man, especially not Steve Richards. Because in the end, just who the hell is Steven Richards to Randy Orton? A man who single handidly dismantled Triple H multiple times and capped it all of with becoming World Champion. Steven Richards just parades around with an oversized Smurf, reminiscing of the past that will never return. --->
" Hail To The Chief.. [2] "
pros·pect (pros'pekt) n. A candidate deemed likely to succeed.
Prospektive: The last we saw of Randy Orton he was rushing through the Lobby of a Hotel Casino in The City of Las Vegas, where he ran into Steven Richards' Grandfather who didn't exactly share the same beliefs as The Champ. Now a some odd days later Randy Orton is sleeping like a baby in his Hotel Suite fit for a King with Sable beside him. He is awoken by a knock at his door, it's the morning of Redemption and someone is waking him up?! Randy gets out of bed putting his pants back on walking past The World Title belt that hangs proudly above the bed and answers the door.
'MMM' Terrance: " Hello Randy.. I mean Mr. Orton Sir. I'm sorry to wake you but I am Mr. McMahons Messenger and Mr. McMahon has sent me with an urgent message for you. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " You better be sorry.. I need my beauty rest before this match with Steven Richards and I gets ugly.. So what's the damn message? "
'MMM' Terrance: " Well on the way here I lost the note Mr. McMahon gave me but I'm pretty sure I remembered it correctly.. he said. "Please tell Randy that if he could be so kind as to visit my own families Therapist before his match with Steven Richards." And he also went on to say that The Doctors office is located on 49th Street and he has even arranged for a Taxi to drive you there now. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Right Now?.. Mr. McMahon wants me to see a shrink? You've got to be kidding me.. I'm probably the sanest guy on the whole damn roster, thus the reason I stand before you A True Champion. This jsut doesn't make any sense. "
'MMM' Terrance: " He also informed me to tell you that you will not be competing if you do not attend The Doctors Session.. He said it wouldn't be safe for your opponents. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " is Vince crazy? Sending me to a Shrink? I think it's that damn Steven Richards that needs to visit this Lady. I'm sure you can find him before the match, Vince should be looking out for my Safety, not his. "
'MMM' Terrance: " I'm just the emssenger Sir.. and Sir. Congratulations on your title victory at The Royal Rumble. I've always been a big fan ever since you came to the XWF, you're great. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Naturally.. thanks for the message. "
Prospektive: The man scurries off down the hall like the little rat he is and Randy slams the door shut not quite sure what to make of this recent news. The XWF Cameras cut to a Promo Ad for Gravity and than return shortly after in an entirely different location.
'Counselor/Therapist' Vanessa: Randy, just lie back for me now. that's it. Now Randy, Mr McMahon advised you to come and pay me a visit. It's quite rare for Mr McMahon to recommend any of his Superstars to me unless something is not right. Do you have any idea why Mr McMahon sent you here today? I mean, are there any problems you are experiencing, or anything on your mind that has been bothering you as of late?.. [ she pauses ] Randy are you listening? "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Well first things first Doc, let me make one thing perfectly clear right now.. I came here because Mr. McMahon requested it himself that I come here. Because to be quite honest with you I don't think that I have any problems.. I'm The XWF World Heavyweight Champion. What problems could I have besides the random pesky XWF Superstar who thinks he has what it takes to beat me. Guys like Steven Richards.. So I guess if I had to say something was bothering me.. it would be him. "
'Counselor/Therapist' Vanessa: Oh? You are XWF World Heavyweight Champion? Mr. McMahon never mentioned that to me.. [ flips through her notes confused ] And when was it that you won the championship belt, Randy? Not to sound impolite, but I don't recall or remembering you having won such thing. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Oh I won it.. it wasn't even a week ago. Last Sunday Night in Philadalphia Pennsylvania, I took Triple H to his absolute breaking point and went 4-0 in confrontations beetween him and I, making the Fourth and Final Encounter the Final Blow.. taking his title that was never even his to begin with, and than taking his girl. But it's only a matter of time before every lady that watches XWF Television wants me. "
'Counselor/Therapist' Vanessa: Well of course.. you're good looking, you're the World Champion. Who wouldn't? But when you say Taking his girl, what exactly do you mean? You mean Sable here, i presume?.. "
Prospektive: The Therapist looks over at Sable and she gives off an extremely fake smile looking as if she's about to get up and say something. But she puts her hands on Randys shoulders massaging his neck and back as he continues to speak. Sable looks on not ever really taking her eyes off of The Lady Shrink.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Yeah that's right. But the thing was, she was in on The Corporations plans since the very beginning. The Day I took that belt from Triple H was the real day that I became Champion, at The Rumble it was just the crowning moment.. MY Crowning moment to set it all in stone and in the history books forever. Randy Orton defeating Triple H for The XWF World Title in an Empty Arena Match. Sable knew she saw a true champion when she looked at me, and she didn't even think twice of going back to Hunter since than. "
'Counselor/Therapist' Vanessa: Hmmm I see. Well I'm guessing a woman like you moves from Champion to Champion.. can only be with the best huh? [ looks at sable with disgust ] But oh, Randy.. whatever happened to that.. that.. what's her name? Torrie.. Torrie Wilson girl? Yes that's it. Whatever happened to her? To my knowledge, you two were an item or something before.. [ eyes sable ] Sable, here?
"
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Well Sable and I aren't exactly what you think we are. She's more of my Consultant slash Traveling Secratary. Torrie and I were dating yes, but before I could even explain that I was on the road to becoming World Champion she walked out on me. Besides, there's more than one Playboy Playmate out there for a guy like me. I Don't really need to be tying myself up with relationships right now.. they'd just get in the way of the more important things I'm afraid. "
'Counselor/Therapist' Vanessa: I understand Completely. When you're a wrestler i suppose there's more important things to worry about and women must just be.. [ eyes sable again than smiles back @ randy ] Excess Baggage.. to you. But let's move away from this subject as your relationship status seems to be under control. Let's talk more about your recent XWF World Heavyweight title reign. I'm assuming that everyone is happy for you and your victory? I mean, a strong, talented athlete like you must have a lot of fans supporting you, not to mention your fellow wrestlers glad of your achievement. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Yeah Right.. the second I won this damn belt I got guys breathing down my neck wanting a shot they claim they deserve, or saying that come WrestleMania I wont be Champion anymore. But what the hell have guys like Edge or Taz done in the XWF? Big deal, the hid in the corner of the ring while guys threw themselves over the top rope until they waited for that one opportune time to win it. The Royal Rumble to me isn't a valid or respectable way to crown a new number one contender. It's a Cowards Game is what it is and nothing good will ever come out of it. That's why it doesn't matter who wins that number one contendership match either, because as far as I'm concerned Taz and Edge are just fighting for a chance to be the one to lose the biggest match of his career at Wrestlemania. "
'Counselor/Therapist' Vanessa: What about the Corporation.. are they all supportive of you, Randy? "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " What you mean Vince? and Mick? of course they are. Mr. McMahon wanted nothing more than The Corporation to do the absolute best and he knew the second that he saw me that there wasn't a better man for the job to lead The NEW Corporation into the NEW Year. Mick is a little down and out about his Intercontinental Title shot he lost, but look on the bright side.. i've already won that belt so it's not like The Corporation is unfamiliar with it. "
'Counselor/Therapist' Vanessa: Well okay.. I can't seem to sense any short nor longterm problems your could be experiencing at this moment in time, Randy, but earlier you mentioned a man.. Steven Richards was it? [ checks her notes ] Ah yes, Steve Richards. Who is this man you speak of? "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " He's my opponent this week on Redemption. But it's a Non-Title match because that stain on the underwear of life will never deserve another title shot or earn one for that matter as long as I'm alive..
I don't have much to say about the guy because all I know about him is that he is completely insane and off the wall, and he immitates everyone that touches him. His whole career is based on a joke in other words. I'm surprised the guy was even given an XWF Contract to begin with. "
'Counselor/Therapist' Vanessa: It seems that you're going to have the week off than if that's the case. In all honesty though, Mr. Orton, i can't think of why Mr McMahon has advised you to come to see me. It's a pleasure to see you.. And Sable here, don't get me wrong, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with you. Everything looks to be in.. [ she checks randy out ] Working Order. However, there are a few things you could tell me. Have you been under any sort of stress lately? Is there anything else on your mind? Talk to me, Randy.. Tell me what you're Feeling and Thinking right now. [ touching randys hand ] I'm here to listen.. "
'THE WILDCAT' Sable: " Excuse Me Bitch. But I don't remember ever saying you could touch my man. "
Prospektive: CATFIGHT! Just than all hell breaks loose as Sable tackles the Lady Shrink out of her chair and the two exchange a barriage of slaps and hair pulling as well as rolling around and clothing rippage. Randy sits up in the sofa/chair he was laying down in just watching the two women go at it. But all of the sudden.. of all the times for someone to ruin a party, Mick Foley aka Mankind stumbles into the room breaking the door (that was locked) down and entirely into pieces. The women freeze half naked now, and Randy looks at Mankind with a confused look on his face.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Mick, what the hell are you doing here?! "
'The Deranged' Mankind: " I came down here as soon as I figured out that damn messenger mixed up Vinces messages. Than I heard some screaming so I thought someone was in trouble and I could play Superman for once in my life.. but that never seems to happen for me and obviously I was jsut getting my hopes up and have now crashed your big orgy party. "
Prospektive: Awkward Silence..
'The Deranged' Mankind: " But as I was saying.. the message you got was for me Randy. The idiot meant MANKIND.. would you be kind as to visit The Psychotherapist before your nEw Title Match this Saturday on Redemption. Vince kinda figured I'd be a danger to three of his top superstars so he wanted me to visit that lovely Lady over there on the ground who is now only in her bra and panties. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Of course it all makes sense now. why the hell would I have to visit a Shrink? Vince should fire that guy. Just like he gave Sanders the boot when he couldn't bring home the gold.. "
'The Deranged' Mankind: " Yeah that's just Insanity isn't it? Vinces real message to you was.. Don't do anything he wouldn't do. Get it! [ mick laughs ] Well why don't you and Sable just go on out to the Limo and I'll meet you there. I'm sure me and The Doc wont be too long. "
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Well Mick.. Why don't you just go and sit in the lobboy for like another Hour and I'll be right out there in a sec. Me and The Doctor were still discussing some pretty touchy stuff and I don't think it would be good for me emotionally to just stop halfway you know?.. "
Randy and Mick stand there saying nothing for a couple of second but than Mankind seems to wink through that strange mask of his and playfully punches Randy on the arm. He looks like he's fallen for Randys obvious attempt to score with these two chicks but Randys plans all go down the drain when Sable stands up and pulls Randy out of the room slamming the door shut. The Camera crew is left with Mankind and The Doctor who struggles to put her clothes back on as the scene fades to black. [|. xwf .|]
