Scene: Los Angeles, California - Recording Studio Time: Sunday, 3.28.04 - 11:56 AM Next Match: @ WrestleMania III Vs. Stevie Richards [MAIN EVENT - XWF World Title (No Disqualification)]
XWF WRESTLEMANIA... The Big One, The Showcase of Immortals, where Superstars become LEGENDS and History is made and remade all over again in the very same night. WrestleMania.. this is where you pull out all the stops put on the best damn show ever, bring your "A" game, put on your game face and look to pick up a win on the greatest stage of them all! And it doesn't get any bigger than this.. Stevie Richards and Randy Orton, The Main Event for The XWF World Heavyweight Championship.. It's all on the line, winner takes all, who will it be? The Last time these two XWF Superstars crossed paths was the Redemption after the Royal Rumble - Randy Orton Hot off a World Title Victory defeated Stevie Richards in a Non-Title Matchup on an intense edition of Redemption. Will that be the case again? Will Stevie Richards fall to The Corporations might on a second straight occasion or will The Corporations Posterboy be brought down to his knees, his title reign ended at the biggest event of them all, WRESTLEMANIA. Two weeks ago on Redemption Randy Orton and his Corporate coherts jumped Stevie Richards best friend the Blue Meanie and kidnapped him dragging him off to their limo and speeding off into the night, leaving a furious Stevie Richards all by himself. The Blue Meanie was no longer blue in a sense that at the conclusion of Redemption he was covered in the red of his very own blood. What lengths will Randy Orton go in order to keep his World Heavyweight Championship? Does he have no limit to the madness he will unleash upon those who threaten what he claims is rightfully his and will Stevie Richards become Champion for the second time in his XWF career? All these questions and more will be answered when Sunny Southern California and The Staples Center in Los Angeles hosts XWF WrestleMania 3.
" Corporate Critics "
pros·pect (pros'pekt) n. A candidate deemed likely to succeed.
Prospektive: Hollywood, California.. the place where stars are made, rich people are paid, and you can always get layed. But Randy and The Corporation aren't in the City of Spotlight for any of those things. No you see because Randy Orton doesn't need to be made into a star, he's already the XWF's biggest Superstar to this date and being the World Heavyweight Champion only solidifies it. Nor is Randy in Hollywood to make money because god knows he makes enough of that. And Randy most definately hasn't come to Hollywood for the ladies, the ladies come to Randy Orton.. he just has to be himself and their lined up at the door. But all of this will be irrelevant come this Sunday Night at The Staples Center because it's all on the line. The Cameras come to life and we are given the site of a brightly lighted stage, two couches and a television that is placed in beetween these two couches are all that rest on this stage. On the television screen is the XWF Logo and resting nicely ontop of it is the XWF World Heavyweight Championship, meaning that Randy has to be somewhere nearby.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Well.. Well.. Well.. if it isn't the oh so loyal viewers of the Xtreme Wrestling Federation. Unfortunately your regularly scheduled program of.. [ randy picks up a nearby piece of paper] Cops.. will not be seen at all tonight. So for the majority of you who are too lazy to get up and change the channel and have lost your remote beetween the couch cushions, you all have the pleasure of watching me.. Randy Orton, put on yet another great show. "
Prospektive: Randy crumples up the piece of paper and tosses it to the ground off camera as he glances over at the XWF World Heavyweight Championship for a second, and than back towards the camera as he gets a little bit more comfortable on the couch as the cameras zoom in closer.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " And no I'm not talking about the stellar performances that I put on inside of the ring each and every night, week after week, month after month.. no, I'm talking about a show that will reveal the absolute truth to each and every XWF Superstar, XWF Fan, Official, you name it.. they will all know the truth about Stevie Richards, who happens to be my WrestleMania Three opponent this sunday night. I'm here to let you all know that if by some miracle, by some freak accident that Stevie Richards actually did become Champion.. well the XWF as we know it would go straight down to hell. "
Prospektive: Randy makes a face as if he somehow disgusted himself just by stating Stevie Richards name, by just letting it roll off of his tongue as if it were a damn sin. Randy leans back, reclines and puts his hands behind his head for support and he continues speaking. And as he does, the television screen lights up with a fresh new image of the happenings of Redemption just two weeks ago when The Corporation brutally attacked the Blue Meanie and abducted him. And for what? Just so they could get into Stevie Richards head?
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " When will you learn Stevie? When will you learn that messing with The Corporation, that messing with ME.. is like signing your own death certificate. It's suicide, stupidity at the highest level, and it's too late to turn back now Stevie.. you've already crossed the point of no return and now you must be made an example of. Just like your friend the Blue Meanie. The guy who doesn't even know the meaning of the word EXCERCISE.. I mean let me tell you man, it was hell getting his lifeless and limp body into that limo that night.. but we got it done. I always get the job done Steve, and this sunday night at WrestleMania.. on the biggest stage of them all it will be no different. "
Prospektive: Randy looks over at the television screen that replays the gruesome scene of the Blue Meanie being attacked by The Corporation over and over again. Randy has a sadistic grin covering his face frome ar to ear as he looks back towards the camera yet again.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " WrestleMania Three.. three years the XWF has been around but this will be the first time that I make an appearance at the biggest event that this business has to offer. The first time that I appear at WrestleMania I'm headlining it in the Main Event and defending MY XWF World Heavyweight Championship. [ randy pauses] This will be the first time that the XWF witnesses Randy Orton at his absolute best, and the last time for you Steven Richards. But you know something.. It's a damn shame that the biggest match of my XWF career is waisted with a worthless opponent such as yourself Stevie. I should be wrestling someone with more respectability, someone that you can look up to in this business, but you.. well you're nothing but a damn joke, you yourself proves it without even speaking any words. You parade around dressing and acting as if you're other people, acting like you're somebody else, acting, acting, acting! always acting, It's all one big act with you Stevie and I'm sick and tired of it! "
Prospektive: Randy is furious! he knocks over a nearby table as it crashes to the ground off stage and he grabs the XWF World Title off the top of the television draping it over his shoulder.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " This Sunday Night at WrestleMania we are LIVE from The Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Just mere miles away from Hollywood.. the City where bright lights, movie reels, and stars were born. Some of the best actors and actresses come straight out of Hollywood, but you're not either of them, because even here you don't fit in Stevie. Even in Hollywood your acting is a damn joke and you're looked down upon only as the challenger.. SECOND BEST. "
Prospektive: Randy looks off camera for a moment as footsteps can be heard and some other figures can be seen walking onto the stage. Shawn Michaels, Sable, Mike Sanders, Ric Flair, and Chris Jericho. All of The Corporation has arrived and they all take a seat on a spot on the couch. Sable sits next to Randy, very very close as he continues on as if The Corporation was their the entire time.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " So what do you say that we finally get this show on the road. The only time you will actually see Steven Richards on Television and actually be amused will be when The Corporation brings it up. Only when Steven Richards or any other worthless XWF Superstar for that matter is in the ring with me.. well that's what makes the match interesting, what makes it a must see match. And at WrestleMania Stevie, the only reason our match is the Main Event is because I'M IN IT.. Because I'm the XWF World Heavyweight Champion in case you needed some reminding, and I'll be damned if I'm about to allow some joke like you hold this belt. Over my dead..but still perfectly conditioned body.. "
Prospektive: Randy stops as Shawn Michaels stands up and pops a tape into the VCR that is near the Television. For a few moments we see nothing but static on the screen but finally an image shows up.. an image of Stevie Richards dressed up as "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan can be seen. A BWO (Blue World Order) T-Shirt takes the place of the nWo Logo on it though, as does the color blue everywhere else.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Well what do we have here? Is it Steven Richards Ripping off yet another personality that isn't even his? You see Stevie just because you pretend to be "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan doesn't make you Immortal.. taking and ripping off other peoples personalities doesn't make you that much better as a wrestler inside of the ring, it wont bring home the XWF World Heavyweight Championship. No.. all that lying and immitating something that you're not will bring you is embarassment. Embarassment because when you do finally realize that your entire wrestling career, your entire worthless life, is one big joke and one big ACT it wil be far too late. This Sunday Night at WrestleMania is when reality will slap you in the face Stevie, reality in the form of the greatest XWF World Champion to ever grace the squared circle. And when your laying on your back staring up at the ceiling of the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.. you will realize that You might as well take your chances jumping in front of a speeding vehicle and seeing if you survive, because you don't stand a chance in hell of taking this belt from me Stevie. "
'ABOVE AVERAGE' Mike Sanders: " I'd definately give that Act, TWO THUMBS DOWN! "
'THE SHOWSTOPPA' Shawn Michaels: " I think it's safe to say that we all give any performance done by Steven Richards or his freak of a friend The Blue Meanie Two Thumbs Down Mike. Be it inside the ring, in a movie, on the television screen.. Stevie Richards just plain SUCKS! "
Prospektive: The Television Screen switches scenes and this time it shows Steven Richards immitating Val Venis, a man who is currently on the XWF Active Roster as well. It shows The Blue Meanie taking the towel off of Stevie and the two of them doing some crazy dance as Randy and the rest of The Corporation just shake their heads in disgust and watch for a moment longer until Randy cannot take it anymore.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " This is what I have to loook forward to? This is the man that I have to defend my XWF World Heavyweight Championship against? This is what the biggest match of my XWF career is going to be? Randy Orton vs. "The Joke" Stevie Richards. [ randy grins] We all remember what happened the last time Stevie and I went head to head inside of a ring.. he ended up just being another one of The Corporations Bitches. Just another name to add to the list of untalented XWF "Superstars" that just can't meet up to Corporate Standards and more than likely never ever will. "
Prospektive: Shawn Michaels hits the fast forward button on the VCR as the video speeds up until it comes to a stop at yet another Stevie Richards fiasco. This time Stevie is dressed up to portray the character of The Big Show. Sable can't help but laugh looking at how ridiculous he looks with the pads and getup he has on that is set to make him look like the Seven Foot, Five Hundred Pound monster.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Oh yes.. The Big Show. Accomplice of the man I single handidly defeated two weeks ago on Redemption. And just like I ended Triple H's pathetic undefeated streak I will end all hopes of World Title Glory that you may have Steve. Come Sunday it will be a BIG SHOW.. a Show that you will never be able to forget because I am going to cement the image of me standing over your lifeless body.. STILL The XWF World Heavyweight Champion FOREVER. "
Prospektive: Another moment passes and yet another clip of Stevie Richards making a complete ass of himself is being shown. This time Ironically enough it's Stevie immitating 'HBK' Shawn Michaels! Shawn doesn't look too happy about all of this as he reaches for the fast forward button but Randy stops him before he can.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Whoa Whoa, hold on a minute Shawn and watch this. I mean are we supposed to honestly take this guy seriously? Would anyone really want this guy to be the poster boy for the Xtreme Wrestling Federation? Stevie Richards as World Champion would degrade the entire XWF as a whole and I'm just not about to let that happen. They say that Immitating someone is just another from of complimenting someone but he makes you look like a joke Shawn.. "
Prospektive: Shawn looks at Randy with an angry look in his eyes but Randy raises his hands as if to gesture that he meant no harm by that last remark.
'THA PROSPEKT' Randy Orton: " Don't worry though Shawn, I will end the joke that is Stevie Richards career at WrestleMania and continue on as the greatest XWF World Champion to date.. and more thna likely ever. I Don't give a damn if Stevie Richards was Champion a year ago.. a year ago nobody took him seriously and nobody does still to this very day. Stevie Richards can Immitate, Ripoff, or even steal other peoples egos or looks but he can and never will be Randy Orton.. the XWF World Champion. So at WrestleMania when I defend my title for the second straight time and bury yet another supposed "Contender" they will put a Star on Hollywood Boulevard just for me. Because lets face it.. I'm going to hold this belt for a very long time, so long even that it will begin to accumulate rust and they will have to pry it from my dead fingers years from now. Upon the grandest stage of them all you will see me, Randy Orton at his very best. And you will also see Stevie Richards have the worst day of his life.. the day that he loses his chance to become Champion again and never gets it again as long as I'm here and I have a say in it. The gig is up Stevie, your act is done and The Corporation is giving your poor excuse for Immitations a Definite.. "
Randy and the rest of The Corporation remain seated on the large leather couches set upon the stage as if they were watching home movies they continue watching the television screen getting a laugh or two from Steven Richards hilarious antics. The Scene slowly fades to black as the XWF logo can just be made out in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. The Countdown to WrestleMania is on!!!
