If you ever had any doubt about a word that Shane Douglas has been preaching, you no longer should. At Point Blank, Douglas shocked the professional wrestling world when he defeated The Rock. In the past two weeks, Douglas has defined himself as one of the best to ever set foot in the ring. Shawn Michaels - an Icon and at one stage, World Wrestling Federation's biggest player. Shane beat him, despite the clouds of doubt hanging over his head. The Rock - The Peoples Champion and much like HBK, was at one time World Wrestling Federation's best. Happens to be, Douglas beat him too. What does that tell you? It tells you that Shane Douglas' career is far from over and that his intentions are clear. To regain his status atop of the mountain and to claim that APW World Championship as his. This week on Raw Attitude, Shane Douglas will attempt to take down another former WWF great. This time - it's Christian - perhaps the most successful individual in Tag Team history. Then again - Christian hasn't accomplished all too much as far as Singles competition is concerned. Question beckons; does Christian need a partner to do the dirty work? Is Christian not mentally STRONG enough to last an hour in the ring? Time will only tell but there's no doubt about it, Christian's coming up against a veteran. Douglas has done everything. He's been IN everything. And The Franchise knows exactly what's required to snag a victory. Tune in this Monday Night LIVE from Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, Connecticut! The scene winds up on a shot of Shane Douglas. However - there's a catch. He's wearing a wig. It's a blonde, rather long wig - much like Canada's Christian. It's draped over his face so that Shane has to continually spit and remove the strings of hair from out of his mouth.

the franchise: " I'll be honest with you, pal - I don't know HOW you do it. I don't know HOW you put up with hair hangin' outta your fuckin' mouth. That's one thing I'll applaud you on. The only thing, as a matter of fact. "

Jesus christ. Long hair literally sucks the big one.

the franchise: " Christian - you talk quite big for somebody who hasn't accomplished jack shit in the business. You've ran your mouth since day ONE ... and ya' know what, pal? You're STILL nothing. You're STILL that limpwrist only capable of capturing a pissy Tag Team Championship. That's your limitation - and it always will be. Plainly and simply Christian, you ain't a big fish .. you can't play BALL with the big boys .. So as far as you'r concerned, take your bags and head the hell on home 'cause should you decide to turn up, Raw Attitude's got torture written ALL over it! "

I try to flick my head back in attempt to rid of the hair in my face, but for the first time in my life - I fail. The hair stays in my eyes and in my mouth.

the franchise: " Thing with you is Christian, everything's a joke. At even the most serious of times, you find a way to turn it around and into some big ol' fat joke. Every ... Single ... Time. It's wearin' thin on me, pal. Real thin. I've seen more than enough of you to judge you, and let me tell ya' - I don't like one BIT of what I see. This is professional wrestling. This AIN'T the fucking circus. You wanna crack jokes? You wanna have a good time? Then get the HELL out of the company 'cause it's people like you that have been draggin' this industry along in the mud over the past few years. "

Any second now this god damn wig is coming off. How I've put up with the piece of shit for this long is amazing.

the franchise: " You wear your jokes, you take care of that hair of yours .. Do whatever you see fit. At the end of the day, the only man laughing will be me. The only man spitting a joke, will be me. Is that clear enough, Christian? Because make no mistake about it - Monday Night is your FINAL appearance .. It's your LAST hoorah .. and pal - you're gonna learn to love it, because there are NO two ways about it. I'm drillin' a hole right through your ass and there ain't a god damn THING in this entire WORLD .... that you can do ... to stop me. "

Finally. That damn wig. It comes off and immediately I breathe a sigh of relief. I toss the wig over the back of my shoulder and look straight towards the camera.

the franchise: " Just like Shawn Michaels and JUST like The Rock you've got all the quotes in the book. You've got the perfect gimmick .. you've got the money .. you've got Canadian skanks squeeling. Come to think of it pal - you got what most don't have. Then again - we aren't on the subject of "most". We're talking about me. We're talking about The Franchise and that's one obstacle you got NO hope of dodging. Believe you me; there's a fine line between arrogance and stupidity, and you my friend, have crossed it. If you had even an inkling of intelligence you'd realize that the task you've been assigned is one you CANNOT complete. Frankie missed the train. Michaels' missed the train. last week - The ROCK missed it. What makes you think you're gonna catch it, Christian? What makes you think that you are ANY different to those that were listbed above you? Let's face it; you don't even hold The ROCK's jock strap. Hell - you're a mid carder .. I'm a main eventer .. that alone speaks all for itself. Don't you think? Haha. "

Stickin' the boots in, but actually - it's true. All his life Christian has been the mid-carder. Whether that be Singles or Tag - Christian has ALWAYS been known as a mid carder and that's precisely ALL he'll ever be. Me? I've been a Main Eventer since the very first time I stepped into the squared circle.

the franchise: " What gets me is the fact that you actually THINK I'm stealing the spotlight from you. Honestly, Christian. Are you really that dumb? I've been in this business for HELL of a lot longer than you, pal. I've won Championship Gold that you go to bed dreaming of every night. Simply put - I'm an accomplished man, Christian. I've done all I've ever needed to and more. But you? You haven't done a thing to raise an eyebrow. Then you have the NERVE to piss down my back, tell me it's raining, and claim yourself as the REAL Franchise? (Pauses) Do you have any idea how many times I've heard that bullshit? Really. Do you? Every single solitary WEEK, I've got some idiot claiming to be The 'Real' Franchise. And every week, Christian, I kick their ASS! I don't need a two cent whore by my side, pullin' my dick and tellin' me I'm great in bed. I don't NEED a baffoon like Tomko who can barely tell the difference between night and day. I don't NEED anyone ... and it's been like that for the best part of my career. You though? You're the opposite. You've ALWAYS needed a shoulder to cry on. Whether you like it or not, fact is; you can't get the job done yourself so you go and hire a bunch of fucking loony toons in hope that they pull you over the finishing line. Heh. Bad news, jack! Raw Attitude - that ain't happenin' because you ain't facin' some piece of shit off the street. No. You, Christian, are up against The FRANCHISE! So you can STICK your Peeps up your ass, because I see PAST the shit you try to blind the world with. Problem is; everybody see's past it. Not just me, Christian. Everybody. To tell the truth, I find it quite funny they'd place you in a league you DON'T belong ... but then again ... maybe the administration wants to get RID of you too? Either way works, because in a matter of a few short hours, your ass .. is gettin' "
