The new era of professional wrestling has begun; Smack!down went off the air last night with sky high ratings and in actual fact, beat Slam in their ratings by merely ONE single solitary person. That's all it came down to; one viewer. One fan. However, after Week One Smackdown has come out on top and to them it doesn't matter if they won by one person, ten people or a thousand people. The fact is.. on this very date.. Smackdown prevailed! One match in particlar that drew a lot of interest was the Tripple Threat between Christopher Daniels, Triple H and Rob Van Dam. The atmosphere before the match was extravagant and the fans were vastly anticipating the clash of heads between Three of the very best this company has to offer. At stages during the match, Christopher Daniels had control of the match and then when it looked like he were just about to capitalise on an effective move, Triple H would gain the advantage and play thing's in his hands. Although the momentum shifted on numerous occassions, Rob Van Dam had his feet in the boots at the right time. At a moment where Triple H had everything right where he wanted, Scotty 2 Hotty interfered and attacked Triple H from behind whilst the referee attended to Rob Van Dam's agony. Getting his Revenge for earlier in on the night when Triple H jumped him, Scotty took things to the outside and nailed Jeff Hardy with one right hand after another. Meanwhile, Triple H countered an attempted Enzurguri whilst Jeff Hardy managed to slide in the Sledgehammer. Jeff was taken back down immediantly as Scotty cracked him with a vile shot. Trips picked the Sledgehammer up and with The World sitting on the edge of there seats, The Game turned around to a kick to the gut followed by the last straw; a Drop Toe Hold directly on the Sledgehammer! As the referee climbed back into the ring, Scotty 2 Hotty quickly disposed of the weaponary and watched on as Van Dam got the all important three count. They say that revenge is sweet, that paybacks a bitch and without a doubt, It proved to be precisely that for Triple H who payed the ultimate price for getting involved earlier in the match between Jeff Hardy and Scotty 2 Hotty. This week on Smackdown, the feud between these four continues. Rob Van Dam will team up with Scotty 2 Hotty to face off against Triple H and Jeff Hardy. Although the similarities between each of the four men are barely noticable, there's one that stands out. The HATRED that runs rapidly through there veins is indescribable, but one thing's for sure.. It WON'T be the last we see. Scotty 2 Hotty lost to Jeff Hardy after being cheated by Triple H; Triple H lost to Rob Van Dam after being cheated by Scotty 2 Hotty. As Friendships grow, Enemies grow even stronger.. each second, each minute.. the feud grows immensely bigger. Paying the price is one thing, having to cop your own medicene.. is another.
The camera pans down on Rob Van Dam sitting on a crate with what seemingly, is a poster of Big Bird and Triple H. Somehow, it's been designed so that half of the poster is of Big Bird's structure and the other half of Triple H. Rob has it layed out in front of him and has a big grin cracked across his face.
Rob Van Dam:
Dude, this is too much. How do these guy's come up with this material?
Slowly, the camera moves down and reveals that Pat Patterson is shinning Rob's shoe's. Placed neatly next to Patterson is a small cloth and of course, the shoe polisher. Judging by the state of Van Dam's shoes, Patterson has only just begun.
Pat Patterson: Human creativity. Such a beautiful thing, isn't it boss?
Rob Van Dam:
Yeah, totally Matt.
Pat looks up at van Dam confused.
Pat Patterson: Uhh, My name's not Matt.. It's Pat.
Rob Van Dam:
Whatever dude.
Patterson continues to polish RVD's shoes with maximum caution, concentrating amculantly. Rob begins to laugh again and is quick to put his head in his hands.
Pat Patterson: Is something bothering you, Rob?
Rob Van Dam:
Huh? It's this poster. Look at it; It's hilarious! It makes so much sense 'cause dude, Triple H's nose is HUGE and as you know, Big Bird's is exactly the same! It's only fitting they are joined as one in this poster, Haha.
Van Dam proceeds to hold his stomach whilst laughing. Patterson flashes a little fake smirk, he obviously doesn't taking polishing shoes as an enjoyment.
Pat Patterson: How much are you paying me to do this again boss?
Rob Van Dam:
Uhh, idunno dude. A couple hundred, why?
Pat Patterson: I was just curious, that's all.
Rob Van Dam:
Fair enough bro. [RVD Pauses] Put it this way, what I'm paying you WEEKLY is more than what Jeff Hardy gets paid YEARLY!
Pat Patterson: Heh. There's nobody Cooler then you Rob. You're a future Heavyweight Champ of this business, I can SEE IT! You and me Rob, we're a great team; an unstoppable force and you proved it this past week on Smackdown by defeating Triple H and Christopher Daniels.
A significant smirk crosses Van Dam's face. It symbolises confidence and that he truly is a proud specimen at work.
Rob Van Dam:
Heh, you can say that again man. I'm gonna cut my way through the Smackdown Roster like a sharp knife, and that.. is cool, bro. Before Smackdown last week, I told everyone that it'd be me.. Are .. Vee .. Dee who would walk out of Canada with the victory. I told Triple H and Christopher Daniels that I'm One Of A Kind and on Smackdown Pat, I certainly made 'em believe it.
Van Dam nods his head, smirking to himself as he thinks about the possible future.
Pat Patterson: The irony of the story was the fact that the public had the nerve to doubt you. They ALL stood tall on a decision that was always going to haunt them; it was the public Rob, that said Triple H would defeat you and Christopher Daniels when in actual fact.. it was YOU.. who defeated HIM!
Rob Van Dam:
Yeah, but that's cool dude 'cause as it turned out, I left those who doubted me dumbfounded. I left those who doubted me with questions to ask themselves about their judgement. See.. bro, people don't expect me to beat the Loser Dude's like Triple H and it's purely because of the past success that he's had. Sure, he's been one successful DUDE.. but the simple fact is Patterson.. I'm The WHOLE F'N SHOW! I'm not just a quarter of it, I'm not just a half of it.. I'm the WHOLE damn lot of it! Each time I compete I put on a performance with a rating of 5 stars. Guy's like Triple H, dude, they're so worried about the mental side of things. They concentrate too hard; It's all about preperation. It's all about relaxing and making sure that you're confident in your own mind that you can win.. DESPITE what anyone else has to say. The key to defeating Trips is to bring him out of his comfort zone; you've gotta play by YOUR rules. You've gotta manipulate The Game so that it lay's in your favour. I did that; I got Triple H worked up about it .. and dude, as they say, the rest is history.
Rob Van Dam chuckles to himself once again, appearing to be a in a state of mind where nothing and nobody can distrupt him. Suddenly, Patterson makes an attempt to preform a "spit-shine" but Van Dam manages to quickly act upon, kicking Patterson in the teeth.
Rob Van Dam:
DUDE! Shoe polish ONLY!
Pat Patterson: Opps. Sorry boss, It just kind of slipped out. It'll never happen again.
Pat Patterson's cheeks blush instantly due to getting caught on the first attempt of a 'Spit-Shine'. He immediantly uses the shoe polish again, rubbing it firmly with the cloth so that it comes up perfect. Van Dam glazes down again at the poster and irresistibly cracks up laughing.
Rob Van Dam:
Bro, this is totally sweet. Big Bird and Triple H are the perfect match; Look at it! Haha, dude, talk about technology these days.. They've REALLY gone and done it this time. You know, maybe after I beat Hunter for a SECOND straight time on Smackdown, maybe I can show this to him.
Pat Patterson: Do you think he'd like that?
Rob Van Dam:
Uhh, dude, of course not.. but that's the whole POINT of it because you know how that dude works. He'll get all frustrated and start puttin' on this emotional act of anger.. Heh, and then dude, that's when I'll sweep him off his feet and hit a FIVE STAR Frogsplash!
Pat Patterson: What about Scotty 2 Hotty? You're teaming up with him, ya know.
A few seonds pass where everything is silent, except for the soft noise of Patterson polishing Rob's shoes. It appears as if Van Dam has been caught off guard, as if he hasn't gave the topic of teaming with Scotty 2 Hotty much thought.
Rob Van Dam:
Yeah.. so?
Pat Patterson: Well it IS a Tag Team Match Rob.
Rob Van Dam:
Man, like I didn't know that already. I don't NEED Scotty 2 Hotty if that's what you're trying to refer to dude, I'm Mr. Thursday Night! The WHOLE F'n Show! Do you think it's gonna benefit me by having a dude who wiggles around like a worm? Pfft, Patterson, Get a brain. Last week I beat Triple H hands down; I put on one of my weekly 5 Star Performances.. This week is no different. The only exception is that Hunter's little Loser Dude is with him and as you know Pat, I've taken Jeff Hardy outta the ball game before. I took him to heights he never thought were possible; I took him BEYOND his Extreme world.. See bro', Jeff Hardy, Scotty 2 Hotty, they're makin' up the numbers. The REAL DEAL is between me and Trips'.. the moment that Jeff Hardy gets involved I'm sure that Scotty will.. ugh.. wiggle his way to a beating of Jeff Hardy..
Pat Patterson: Huh?
Rob Van Dam:
Just forget it dude. All you need to know is that on Smackdown, Rob Van Dam and Scotty 2 Hotty are walkin' out of Salt Lake, Utah with the win under the belt. I've proved it already bro', I'm Simply 5 STAR.. And I'm RATED 5 Stars for a reason. After every match, win or lose, I leave thousands of jaws dropped on the ground. Last week I beat Hunter, dude, what makes this week any different? I'm going to hit the Rolling Thunder, the Five Star Frogsplash and he'll be seein' stars. He's not The Cerebral Assassin nor is he The Game.. he's an A GRADE LOSER!! Un-like the majority of the world, I've worked Trips out. I've found a way to play The Game.. and even better.. BEAT it!
Patterson finishes up polishing Van Dam's shoes and leans back, taking a good look at his final production. Pat smirks proudly and then looks up to RVD.
Rob Van Dam:
Finished? Already? Dude, that was quick.
Pat Patterson: Umm.. Rob.. that took a whole two hours.
Van Dam checks his shoes out, they're absolutely sparkling. Not even a smile crosses his face and at the same time, Patterson's slowly fades away.
Pat Patterson: Is there something wrong with them? I can fix it right away. It'll only take me --
Rob Van Dam:
Nah man, It's cool. I'll pay you a bit later, for now I'm just gonna kick back and relax. Hey, wanna go get Mr. 5 Star a soda? You can buy yourself one too.
Rob pulls out a 5 dollar note and hands it over to Pat Patterson.
Pat Patterson: Is there any particular flavour that you require?
Rob Van Dam:
Man, what's with all the sophisticated chit-chat? It's not like you're competing against George W. Bush for the Presidentcy. Loosen up and chill out bro.
Pat fakes a smile before turning around and walking off into the distance. The camera zooms into Rob's shiny shoes; they are polished to the degree that you can see your own reflection. Slowly, the camera fades out of the shoes and focuses in on RVD whose facial expressions are intense.
Rob Van Dam:
Hunter, you're inside of a web that you can't get out of. Sure dude, you may be somethin'.. but I'm ROB .. VAN .. DAM! I'm what ALL these people come to see. They don't rock up with there Triple H shirts dude, they rock up with there RVD Shirts. They rock up withthere RVD Hands. They come.. to witness an ability that can only be described as a Rating of 5.. Simple.. Stars. I've said it time and time again, you can dramatise this all you want; you can make it sound as if it's got EVERYTHING to do with the mind and NOTHING to do with the physical side of things, but hey, when the time comes for me to slap you into the 20th Century.. then dude, I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna do it in front of the world! (Rob Smirks) If you wanna look at it technicaly, I'm already one step ahead of you in the mental side of things. I'm already beating you at your own Game bro, what does that have to say for you? Heh, and more importantly, what does that have to say for me? Last week.. on Smackdown.. I put on a 5 Star Performance to defeat YOU, Hunter. I pinned you for the One, Two, Three. Whether you're keen to admit it or not bro, I'm well on my way to makin' you believe I'm truly one of a kind. After this week, after I totally DOMINATE you inside of that ring dude, you're not gonna have a choice as to whether you believe it. Nah, I'm gonna make that decision FOR YOU! Your gonna learn man, that anger is NOT the solution. Gettin' worked up about nothin' is the key to being defeated; that's why I beat you to a pulp last week and that's exactly why I'm gonna duplicate that result on Smackdown. It's not gonna be a stroll in the park, I'll give you that much dude.. but at the same time nothing's hard when you're (Thumb Taunt) Arr Vee Dee! (Pauses) Once I hit you with the Five Star Frogsplash Trips, all you're gonna be seein'.. is
FIVE .. STARS!
Practically straight away after Rob Van Dam finishes up, Pat Patterson walks back into the camera's sight with two sodas. He hands one over to Van Dam and moments later opens up his own. Rob looks at the can strangely, as if something's missing.
Pat Patterson: Rob? What now?
Rob Van Dam:
Ugh.. bro, you know I can't drink a soda without a straw.
Patterson sighs and slaps his forehead.
Pat Patterson: Ahh, dammit. Fine, I'll go get you one.
Rob Van Dam:
Heh, 'ppreciate it.
An interesting smirk crosses RVD's face as he watches Patterson walk off for the second time just to fetch a lousy straw. The camera zooms in on Rob's face, paying close attention to that grin.
Rob Van Dam:
Man, havin' Patterson is a total bonus. Too bad there's only one of him, Haha.
The camera zooms out on Rob's laugh and shortly after begins the process of fading to the Wrestlemania Entertainment Logo. Moments after, the scene fades to a complete and utter black screen.
