[In life, there's things that are inevitable. Things that you can't get around. Like death. Death is the perfect example of something that you know will happen. There are dreams of people staying alive forever. There are wishes of immortality. But this is all false. Death comes no matter what you do. And it isn't by what you think. It isn't by the Grim Reaper. He doesn't do the deeds of death. Death is just a force of it's own. But like death, there's something else that is inevitable...the Raven Effect. What is the Raven Effect? When you feel pain, that is the Raven Effect. You suffer, that is the Raven Effect. The Raven Effect, is everything you wish weren't happening, but is. And ACW... you'll feel the Raven Effect...full force.]

[The camera opens inside the arena. A show for ACW is being held, and all the fans in attendance are getting settled. They take their seats, ready for the night. Than, suddenly, out walks Joey Styles. The fans all begin to cheer for him, having not seen him in awhile. He wears his suit, and his glasses, and he walks down the aisle. He waves to the fans a few times, and reaches the ring. Instead of going under the ropes, he simply uses the stairs instead. He steps through the middle ropes, and stands in the middle of the ring. He looks out to all of the fans, and smiles. He lifts the microphone to his lips, and speaks to the arena.]

Joey Styles:Ladies and gentleman, welcome to ACW... All-star... Championship... Wrrresssstliiiing!

[The fans let out a pretty big pop. Joey keeps smiling, as he spins to adress the other side of the arena.]

Joey Styles:Ladies and Gentleman, tonight, we have a evening of action. But to start off our evening, we have a special guest. Ladies and gentleman...RAVEN...AND STEVIE RICHARDS!!

[Everyone in the arena bursts into cheers, as "Come Out And Play" by Offspring hits the loud speakers. Everyone in attendance is cheering, as out steps Raven alongside "Dancin" Stevie Richards. They step out onto the entrance ramp, and stand there. Raven looks out to the fans, as does Richards. Raven than puts his arms out in the crucifix, as Stevie Richards starts dancing! The fans are going insane for Stevie Richards! Raven notices his dancing, and shoots him a glance. Stevie notices it, and stops dancing. But he had enough fun, judging by the big smirk on his face. Raven leads the way down the ramp, as Stevie is still having a good time behind him. Stevie hits a few fans hands, as Raven is intent on making it to the ring. Raven reaches the ring and just rolls under the ropes, as Stevie slowly dances up the ring steps. Stevie climbs into the ring, and Raven is in the corner, sitting down. Joey Styles waches Stevie, as Raven gets up and heads over to Joey. He stands next to him, but Joey doesn't even notice him at first. When he does notice him, he gets a little startled. Stevie eventually stops goofing off, and heads over to Raven and Joey Styles. They all stand in the center of the ring, as Joey laughs neverously.]

Joey Styles:Hello Raven and Stevie. And let me be the first to say, welcome to ACW! Now, you two are teaming together here, and from experience, I can say you two were quite the duo in ECW. And you both were good in WCW, as well as WWF. But what are your thoughts on ACW?

"Dancin'" Stevie Richards:Joey Styles....WAZ SAAAAAAAAP?!

[The fans go totally insane when Richards says this. Joey laughs, as Stevie watches him with a goofy smile.]

"Dancin'" Stevie Richards:Joey, let me tell you something. Being here in ECW...wait, sorry. HAHA! I meant ACW, is quite the feeling. I mean, just look around you. See those people Joey? See em'? See em' all? Those people are what MAKE ACW. They ARE ACW. Sure, you won't have them without the wrestlers. But without THEM, there aren't any wrestlers! There wouldn't be wrestling, because we'd just wrestle for...ourselves really. So you know what? Being in ACW does feel great, because these fans make it worth it.

Joey Styles:Moving on, what do you think about your chances on being succesufl are here? I mean, with all these big names, it'll take a lot to be something.

"Dancin'" Stevie Richards:Take a lot to be something? Who are you Joey Styles? Just who in the hell are you? Because if I know who you are, you would know who we are. And you would know, that we ain't some bum off of the street. Well...Raven is, but I'm not. I'm Stevie Richards! OW! And you think, that we can't make it? You have just something else coming Joey. We're theeee duo here in ACW. Sure, we don't have a fancy schmancy name tag team name. We don't have all this glamour and stuff surrounding us. But you know what? We have something, that no one else has...

Joey Styles:What's that?

"Dancin'" Stevie Richards:THE DANCE MOVES THAT'LL KILL!!!

[Stevie begins to break out in his spectacular dance moves, and the roof almost blows off. The fans go absolutely nuts for Richards, who keeps dancing. Raven just stands there, scowling at the playfullness of Richards. Raven seems to have enough, and snatches the microphone from Styles. He gets in the face of Richards.]

Raven:WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING STEVIE?!

[Stevie stops dancing, and the fans begin to boo a little. Richards looks around at the boos now, than at Raven. Raven doesn't really seem to care that he's getting booed.]

Raven:Stevie, we didn't come here to dance, and act like fools! We didn't come here, to think we're big shots! We came here to get down to business! Stevie, if my memory fails, I quite remember you telling me on the airplane, that you weren't going to be pulling off this crap. I knew it was almost inevitable, but at least for now, I was hoping it wouldn't happen. Your mind is never on the task Stevie. Your mind is on these fans. You say they make us? No Stevie. We make them. They're our pawns! [crowd boos] Stevie, you get your act together, or you leave me. Got it?

[The fans seem to hate Raven, as Stevie just nods. Raven stands next to Joey again, and gives him the mic. Anyway, it seems almost as the yelling he got from Raven isn't fazing him anymore, because he puts his arm around Joey Styles and smirks. Joey seems a little weirded out at first, but he gets over it. Suddenly, the fans seem to want to cheer Stevie, because they start yelling, "DANCIN'! DANCIN'! DANCIN'! DANCIN'! DANCIN'!". Stevie smirks, as does Joey, but Raven seems irritated. The chants die down, but Raven still gives them all menacing stares.]

Joey Styles:Stevie, since the fans, seem to want you to answer, what are you feelings towards Vince McMahon?

[This comment catches the attention of Raven, as he stares at Joey, and snatches the microphone back. The fans let out a burst of boos once again, but again, Raven doesn't care. He looks at Joey coldly.]

Raven:Stevie? You want...Stevie to answer your question Joey? Why him? Just because these ingrates want him more than I, you think you shouldn't ask me any questions?

[The fans boo Raven. He turns and looks at them, giving them a look of hatred, than turns back to Joey.]

Raven:What about me? WHAT ABOUT RAVEN?!

[The fans can't stand it any longer, and they completely nuts booing. Raven turns around to them, irritated. But as he does, Stevie Richards starts dancing behind his back. Everyone starts cheering, and Raven seems surprised. He thinks it's him that did the deed, but he was oblivious to the fact that his partner, Stevie Richards was dancing away. Raven turns back to Stevie, who immediately stops dancing. Joey Styles just laughs, as Raven pulls the mic back up.]

Raven:Did you see what they just did? They turned their cheers to boos, with a blink of my eye. I DEMANDED respect, and respect was exactly what I got. Why? Because everyone here knows, that I'm not a man that indulges himself is such inutilitable acts. Your dancing Stevie, is only clouding your mind. We're here in ACW for a reason. Like I said, not for these fans. We have a mission to accomplish, and that's it. I agreed to come here with you on the terms that you would stop the foolishness and be serious. But thus far, I haven't seen you do it at all. So my suggestion to you Stevie, is you tighten up your little playful acts, and you sharpen your mind. Or I'll just have to leave you to the dogs. Your choice Stevie...

[Raven hands the mic over to Joey Styles, as Stevie Richards just looks on. He scratches his chin, as Joey than hands the mic to Stevie. Stevie looks around to the fans cheering him, and doesn't know what to choose. He eventually decides however, and lifts the mic to his lips.]

"Dancin'" Stevie Richards:Raven...if there's one thing I don't want to do, is be on your bad side. I've seen that side of you, and I don't want to see it...well, at least unleashed on me. So, Raven...I will get down to business. I will stop goofing off.

[The fans let out some boos, but Stevie cuts them off and speaks again.]

"Dancin'" Stevie Richards:BUT...only Raven, will I stop, if you allow me to goof off out of the ring..ON occasion! You know me Raven! You know that I'll get to my bad side if I can't goof off. And if I'm on my bad side, that's not good for you. So Raven, consider that!

[Stevie hands the microphone back to Joey, who looks at Raven. Raven now seems to be contemplaiting whether or not he should allow that. The fans are all cheering, wanting Raven to accept. He looks at them, smirks, than looks back at Stevie. He takes the microphone from Joey, and looks into Stevie's eyes.]

Raven:I accept...

[The fans all go nuts. Raven just keeps looking at Stevie, taking in the cheers. He than looks out to the fans, as they cheer some more. Raven looks at Stevie one more time, than turns to the crowd. Their cheers die down, as Raven goes to continue speaking.]

Raven:But Stevie, just remember...I hold your fate. And if you cross my world, your not gonna like it. Which brings me to another topic, that I have some thoughts on. I know most of you people in the audience, while some rather dumb..can remember back a few years ago. Back before I went to Vince's goon club. Back before I came to ACW. Way back when I was in ECW. ECW was possibly the pinnacle of my career. I was World Champion. I was hardcore. I was ECW's crowned jewel. And it was during my stay at ECW, is that I learned that friend's can be friend's while together, but once seperated, they'll stab you in the back the first chance they get. And the Dudley Boyz are the prime example of this. Buh Buh, during ECW, it was I that took you under my wing. It was I that gave you shelter when everyone else booted you out. You were some redneck from Dudleyvilled, and no one wanted anything to do with you. But I took you in with open arms, and I made something of you. But now look at you Buh Buh. You've had some Tag Title wins, and several wins under those belts, and immediately you forget who and what made you. You constantly think it was Joel Gertner. But it wasn't Joel "It takes about 2 hours, just to get a simple shower. I'm so greasy it's sick, and too bad I have a 2 centimeter prick" Gertner. Not Sign Guy. Not even Paul E. Heyman. It was me. Buh Buh, I made your ECW career, and I made your WWF career. But now Buh Buh, you and your brother think that your higher nobility. You think that your skill exceeds even that of me. If you think that, your one of two things. A regular Henny Youngman...a comical charachter, set only for my amusement... or just a plain ignorant charlatan. A brainliess, foolhardy, imbecile. Basically, a lower walk of human aside from me. Because everyone knows, my intelligence is unmatched by any man in ACW. If you would like a testament to that, just take a look at yourselves Buh Buh.

[Raven pauses for a moment, looking around the arena again. He looks over at Stevie, who seems to be staring off into space. He glanced at Joey Styles, who was looking at Raven, but moved his glance once he looked at him. Raven than turned back to the fans, and spoke again.]

Raven:I guess the only thing that is funny about Buh Buh and D-Von, besides them thinking they're royalty, is them thinking they have me and Stevie beat. This could possibly almost make me laugh, if it was even close to the truth. But since the Dudley Boyz from Dudleyville, are half my calibur, it makes me sick. I'm getting old Buh Buh? I'm getting to saggy for my boots? I'm sorry to inform you, but you're quite wrong. I'm anything but old. I'm in my prime, my muscles functioning like an oiled mechanical device. Buh Buh, I don't know where you came up with me being too old, or too out of shape to be in the ring. But I can tell you this much...this Sunday, isn't going to be just Fully Loaded. It isn't going to be, just another Sunday. It's going to be the Sunday, when you finally realize, you're not an unstoppable team. Buh Buh, you lost to teams that I couldn't bear losing to. The Acolytes? Edge and Christian? They are the epitome and flashy attire and flamboyant antics, that are needless in the wrestling world. And they defeated you? I'm sorry, but a loss to these teams, is like America being defeated by a measly 3rd World Country. It's a disgrace to this sport.

What happens if I lose to the Dudley Boyz? If I mean what I say, than losing to the Dudley Boyz is as close as actually being them. And being them, is something I wouldn't want to do. Sure, they have the confidence of saying that they're 7 time ECW Tag Team Champs. They're 4 time WWF Tag Team Champs. 1 time WCW Tag Team Champs. The first triple crown tag team. But does that have any relavance at all, to when they're in the ring with me? Not at all. Because Buh Buh, if I remember, you said that you'll kick my ass just like when I teamed with whoever I teamed with. Well Buh Buh, the people I teamed with, just happened to be something you'll only dream of. Mike Awesome, and Tommy Dreamer. These two men, I have the utmost respect for. Mike Awesome was your leader in ECW. He was ECW World Champ, just as I was. I don't remember a whole lot of people beating us, and you being on of them, is very slim. My other member, Dreamer, I carried. I'm sure most everyone can remember that it was I that won the titles, and it was I that kept those titles...day in...day out. Dreamer would be getting his ass handed to him, and out comes Raven to the rescue. It was my strength, that would always help our team prevail. We kept those titles as long as we did, because of me. And again, I don't remember you EVER taking those titles off of us. Or even coming anywhere close to doing it. So Buh Buh, why don't you shut your mouth, before the truth of the words I speak, make reality a hard, cold thing.

[Stevie than comes out of his little trance, and turns to Raven. His smile brightens even more. He goes over to Raven, and holds out his hand for the mic. The fans cheer as this happens, and Raven looks at them for doing it. He than hands the mic over reluctantly, letting Stevie speak.]

"Dancin'" Stevie Richards:You guys wanna see a wrestling show? See some hot shottin', body droppin', head stompin', wrestling ACTION?! [crowd cheers] Than Fully Loaded is the place to be. You see, me and Raven are like two carrots in a corn patch. We may stick out. We may not be accepted for who we are. But what we are, is something you won't like! You have no idea of how many goosebumps I have on my arms, talking about beating the poop out of the Dudley Trashboys. HAHA! Raven...LET'S TESTIFAAAAY! D-Von, you smell. You think you're a hot shot, with big balls, and a giant c*ck! But all you have is a pair of peas and a twig! D-Von, you're nothin'! I'm testifyin' all over the place! Look! [runs across the ring] I'M TESTYIFYIN' WHILE RUNNING! I'm testifyin' while stopping! I'm testifyin' while talking! Look! I'm doing it D-Von! WOOOOO! D-Von, this Sunday, I'm gonna slap you so silly, you'll be thinking John Paul was Paula Abdul Kajar. Who's that? Some Iraqui prostitute I ran into the other day. She was pretty dirty D-Von...LIKE YA MOTHA! OHHHHH! Oh no, I commented on yo' motha! Wait..do you even know your motha? Brotha, you got anotha', brotha', in your futha'. Anyway, one thing I got to say D-Von, is I'm definitely not Raven's slave boy. Raven's slave boy would be Sandman's kid. Fortunately, I don't have kids, and I'm not his slave boy. So why don't you pucker up them lips of your D-Von, and kiss my Groovy ass, before I dance all over your face! You--

[Suddenly, it seems Raven has had enough, and snatches away the mic from Stevie. The crowd boos, as Raven quickly speaks.]

Raven:No offense Stevie, but everything you said has no relevance to the topic. We're trying to prove to the entire world, we're gonna win those titles. And all you can do is sit there and talk nonsense. Stevie, already, I'm getting sick of your lower brain power. Why don't you start wising up, and realize that being a fool is something that higher intelligence lifeforms despise you? Like myself. I don't despise you, because I rose you from the gutter. But testing me, will only make you fail. Just as the Dudley Boys will realize. I may not be the best dressed person. I may not have a fruitcake by my side. And I may not be the strongest. But it's commonly known, that size and strength compares to an ant, when going against a man of brainpower. The Dudley Boys are known for saying Beer Slogans, and having speech inpediments. I'm known for being of a Genius IQ. Dudley Boys are known for throwing people through tables of fire. I'm known for simply beating you braindead. Dudleys...a lot of the words spoken may have seemed unclear to your pathetic minds. But when the dust has settled, and the foes have been chosen...I will rise from the ashes of the Phoenix...quote the Raven...nevermore....

[And with that, Raven drops the microphone, and exits the ring. As his back is turned, Stevie busts out a few dance moves, much to the fans delight. But once Raven turns back, he stops, and solemnly exits the ring. Joey just stands there, "Come Out and Play" heard over the speakers. Raven and Richards walk into the back, as the camera slowly fades to a blank screen.]
