WWE Raw 3-3-03

Match Making time

Eric Bischoff is in his office.

Bischoff:After the events of last week it is obvious that Goldust is in cahoots with Ric Flair, Triple H, and Batista. I have nothing to do with this, so Booker T better not point the finger at me. So to make it up to Booker T tonight he will team with Rob Van Dam to face Goldust and The World Heavyweight Champion Triple H.

75

Molly Holly vs Trish Stratus

Highlights:Well I have Trish vs Molly, Trish vs Victoria, and Victoria vs Molly, as the only worthwhile woman division programs. Althrough Victoria carried Torrie Wilson through pretty nicely during their series of matches last month so Torrie vs Molly might be decent. Anyway Trish and Molly brawl. Molly dumps Trish to the outside and Molly suplexes her on the floor to boos. Molly rolls Trish back in and scores with a missile dropkick. This gets a two and Trish is choked on the bottom rope. Molly pounds Trish and power bombs her. Molly with the Twin City Twister but Trish is in the ropes. Molly goes up top but misses the Molly Go Round. Trish with a couple of high kicks and Victoria wanders out. Trish hits the Stratusfaction to Molly but only gets a two when Victoria puts Molly's foot on the rope. Trish confronts Victoria and Victoria responds by hitting her with the belt. Molly rolls on top to score the pin. Afterwards Victoria comes in and hits Trish with THREE Widow Peaks. ***

Winner:Molly Holly(via a beltshot from Victoria)

77(88, 57)

Why Goldust, why.

The Coach is in the back with Goldust. Goldust is in street clothes and his face isn't painted.

Coach:Goldust why did you...

Goldust:First of all NEVER refer to Goldust again. I am now known as The Nightmare Dustin Rhodes. Why did I turn on Booker T you ask. Well it is very simple. I tried to mold Booker T into a great tag team wrestler, but it took awhile.

Dustin pauses before pacing around and then continueing.

Dustin Rhodes:Then when we clicked, we won the Raw Tag Team Titles. Had some great title defenses but I woke up. Why because two weeks ago on this program we lost the tag team titles to Batista and Triple H. I realised we were never going to get them back. So I decided, if you can't beat them, join them. So I got us a rematch last week and then turned on Booker T. Booker T was the one who was the "sucka" last week. So tonight I will team up with Triple H to lay and beating on Booker and Van Dam. I will not fail.

84

Randy Orton and Victoria vs Al Snow and Torrie Wilson

Highlights:This wasn't very good. Orton vs Snow was decent and Torrie vs Victoria was decent but the two put together didn't click. The ending came when Orton DDTed Torrie to score the pin. Orton took his time getting off of Torrie after the match. 1/2 *

Winners:Victoria and Randy Orton

49(54, 39)

Notes:Torrie Wilson basically no-sold everything, which ruined the match.

This match suffered because the crowd were still pumped up from the

last one, and so this bout was seen as something of a let-down to them.

Dave Batista(w/Ric Flair) vs Jeff Hardy

Highlights:Batista grabbed Hardy and choked him but Hardy with a low blow. Hardy with two legdrops to the groin but he was caught on a crossbody and powerslammed. Batista with a gorilla press to Jeff Hardy. Batista chokes Hardy on the rope and is backed off. Flair slaps Hardy across the face. Batista with a bearhug to Hardy. Trying to squeeze the air out of Hardy. Hardy breaks out with an eye rake but Hardy with about a dozen punches all bouncing off the chest of Batista and he doesn't sell any of them.

Notes:Dave Batista gained overness from this segment.

Spike Dudley vs Steven Richards

Highlights:Five years ago, this would most likely be a match seen in ECW. Tonight it is on Heat. Spike goes for the Dudley Dogg but Steven shoves him off. Steven Kick gets the pin(I guess the Steven Bomb finisher only lasted a week, rumour is that Hardcore Holly is pissed that Steven was given his finisher). **

Winner:Steven Richards(via the Steven Kick)

Molly Holly and Victoria vs Torrie Wilson and Trish Stratus

Highlights:Hey its most of the Woman's division. Except for Ivory, Jacqueline(who is in the doghouse because of that horrible match with Victoria), Stacy Keibler(who basically manages Test), Jazz(whom will be back soon), and Heather Savage(who is a jobber) this is the basic cast of Woman's wrestlers. Torrie played Ricky Morton if Ricky Morton had breasts and couldn't wrestle. *rimshot*. Molly missed a missile dropkick allowing Trish to tag in. Trish beat up both the heels and she dumped Molly but Victoria pummels Trish. Victoria goes for the Widow's Peak but Trish reverses into a sunset flip to score a surprise pin. Trish has defeated the Woman's Champion. Afterwards the babyface women got beat up. ** 1/2

Basham works on the arm, ala Arn Anderson. Dreamer comes back and goes after Flair. Mistake. Basham clocks Dreamer with Brass Knuckles to score the pin in typical Horsemen fashion. **

Winner:Doug Basham(via brass knuckles)

64(57, 72)

Notes:Doug Basham gained overness from this match.

Bradshaw speaks out against Batista

Bradshaw:Last week Batista tried to take out my little buddy Jeff Hardy. No one beats up on Jeff but me. This Horsemen will be sent to the glue factory by the time I am done with him. To me he is just another big guy, who needs to be cut done to size. I will exterminate the Horsemen one by one if I have to get to Batista. Tonight Dustin Rhodes, you are the first. I will give the biggest ass whoppin' you have ever felt.

67

The Nightmare Dustin Rhodes vs Bradshaw

Basham rolls Test back into the ring and Storm scores the pin. Afterwards Basham hit a series of DDTs to Test. Stacy pleaded with Basham and got her hair pulled and thrown down to the mat for her trouble. Test and Stacy were two more victims of the Horsemen tonight. ** 3/4

Winner:Lance Storm(after Basham posted Test)

74(68, 81)

World Heavyweight Title:Spike Dudley vs Triple H©(w/Dave Batista and Ric Flair)

Highlights:Spike wants a piece of HHH for the Horsemen attacking his brothers. Spike might as well have used spitballs because his offense had little effect on the Game. Spike's sole attempt of a pin was missed when Flair pulled HHH out of the way of a Monkey Flip and Spike got crotched in the corner. HHH locks on the Main Event Sleeper and scores the knockout win. Flair and HHH set up a table while Batista beat on Spike. Batista then put Spike through a table with a throwing powerbomb. Another victim for the Horsemen. ***

Winner:Triple H(via the Main Event Sleeper)

76(72, 81)

Batista with a spinebuster and Batista goes for the power bomb but RVD counters with a rana. Batista pops up but RVD ducks a lariat. RVD with three dropkicks. Batista finally gets to one knee. RVD potatoes Batista with kicks and busted him open. This causes Batista to destroy RVD with a HUGE Powerslam. Batista with a vicious belly to belly and then a bearhug. RVD fought out and RVD with a Five Star Frog Splash. The Horsemen right out right then and RVD fights off Dustin with a spin kick. Basham gets a monkey flip. The referee throws the match out. Batista is up and Batista kicks RVD and Sitout power Bomb. Basham, Rhodes, and Batista pound RVD into a bloody pulp while HHH and Flair come out. Flair presents HHH with his sledgehammer and the rest of the Horsemen hold RVD. HHH strikes RVD right across the face with the sledgehammer. That was a Mark McGwire style swing. HHH made an honest attempt to take RVD out before Wrestlemania. *** 3/4

Winner:Match thrown out

The Big Show arrives and Kurt Angle greets him.

Angle:Hey Show. Last week you dropped the ball. You failed to take out Brock Lesnar. He ran over you and destroyed you.

Big Show:Listen Kurt, I didn't see YOU offer any help.

Angle:I have a main event at Wrestlemania. You will be watching Wrestlemania on the monitor of a lockeroom. You know why. You are a failure. You will always get your couple of weeks in the sun every six months. Then you will fade down to the opening matches of Smackdown or even the Main Event of Velocity.

Show:Listen Kurt. I can beat you for that belt any time. Any place. You just are too chicken to give me a title shot.

Angle:You want a title shot. Well to bad because you don't deserve one. You will however have the HONOR of being my tag team partner vs Rey Misterio Jr and Edge tonight. You better not screw up.

Winner:Jaime Knoble(via the Trailer Hitch)

Notes:Chris Benoit gained overness from this segment.

Ash Parker and Rory Fox vs Team Angle(w/Paul Heyman)

Highlights:Well this is your main event. Paul Heyman was nice enough to make an apperence on Velocity to spice things up a little bit. Heyman has a busy night at Wrestlemania. He could be the manager of the Tag Team Champions if Team Angle wins TLC V. and he will manage Kurt Angle in the main event vs Brock Lesnar. Anyway Benjamin and Haas make mincemeat of of the jobbers. The crowd was dead for the most part but popped for a top-rope T-Bone Suplex from Haas. The ending came when Team Angle hit a modified version of the Hart Attack to Ash Parker. Haas held him up but Benjamain hit a spin kick instead of a clothesline. That gets three. After the match, Rory Fox was subjected to the superkick/german suplex combo.

WWE Heat 3-16-03

Spike Dudley vs Justin Credible

Highlights:Spike Dudley was destroyed by Batista this past Monday nights but because of poor planning by the trained monkeys who run Heat, this match is aired. It was taped before Raw. Spike ducked a superkick and did a victory roll to score the pin. Justin Credible now is officially a jobber. He can't defeat somehow who was put through a table by a 6 and a half foot monster just six days ago(but it was taped before that happened you may scoff. Well the announcers are talking about how Spike may be hurt so Justin Credible comes off looking like a jobber) **

Winner:Spike Dudley(via a victory roll)

64(53, 76)

A look at Destruction

A look at the Horsemen beating up a bunch of people this past monday. This is also your last look at Bradshaw on WWE TV as Batista destroys him.

Winner:Molly Holly(via a power bomb)

48(55, 34)

Notes:Jacqueline didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match rating. (This is like the third or fourth match Jacqueline ruined so she is out the door. Bye Bye Jacqueline, maybe you can find a job in XPW or somewhere like that that hires talentless hacks)

Raven

A look at some hardcore moments from Raven. Raven is the current WWE Hardcore Champion. He will defend the title tommorow night on Raw against his long time nemisis Tommy Dreamer

98

Notes:Raven gained overness from this segment.

Maven vs Ash Parker

Highlights:The rookie vs the wonder jobber. I wonder who will win. Ash Parker actually got some offense but Maven hits a dropkick. Maven then hits a missile dropkick, which Ash sells like a burning Hammer off the top of a cage through five tables, for the pin. Fear Maven's dropkick. **

Winner:Maven(via the Missile Dropkick)

63(52, 75)

Bobby Rude vs William Regal

Highlights:Regal waves the crowd. Rude is squashed by Regal. Regal then clocks Rude with the brass knuckles for the pin, just because he can. *

Winner:William Regal(via the Power of the Punch)

55(47, 64)[/i]

Robert Thompson, Mike Osbourne, and Rory Fox vs The Horsemen(Nightmare Dustin Rhodes, Doug Basham, and Dave Batista)

Highlights:Rory Fox was the guy that got his fingers broke by Raven last week. Osbourne is the guy who lost to Crash Holly on Velocity who didn't get an intro or his name even mentioned. The Horsemen will fight Booker T, Test, and Bradshaw at Wrestlemania according to the announcers. Well the commentary was recorded on Wednesday, the day before Bradshaw checked into rehab and got fired. So ignore the announcers. An announcement will be made on the status of the final slot at Wrestlemania on Raw. Anyway onto the match. Rory Fox was isolated in the corner in typical Horsemen fashion. Fox was thrown into his own corner and somehow tagged in Thompson. He was promptly murdered by a stiff lariat from Batista. Batista then punches Osbourne off the ring apron and scores the the Sitout Power Bomb to Thompson to score the pin. * 1/2

Winners:The Horsemen(Batista sitout Powerbomb to Robert Thompson)

HHH is ready for Wrestlemania

"Game" by Motorhead plays and out comes HHH with the World Heavyweight Title Belt over his shoulder. HHH is in the ring and he has the microphone.

HHH:At Wrestlemania, I will defend this belt. I will bury Rob Van Dam once and for all. RVD isn't worthy of being in the ring with a star of the caliber of HHH. I took him out last week and if he wants to come sniffing around again I will END HIS CAREER.

HHH pauses. The crowd chants "Asshole".

HHH:Thank you. So I have nothing to do tonight. However I want some real competition. If there is any jobber in the back who wants to be squashed and made famous by the Game, they can make themselves known.

HHH pauses. No one comes out.

HHH:Anyone out there, please, I need a workout tonight. Any ham-en-egger in the back. Anyone from the ring crew. I don't care.

HHH pauses. "Assman" plays over the loud speaker. Could it be. IT IS. Billy Gunn makes his way out to the ring. We haven't seen Billy Gunn in nearly half of a year.

HHH:You don't even work on Raw Billy Gunn. You belong on Smackdown with all of the other vanilla midgets.

Billy Gunn:Ha-Ha, Triple H. You are very funny. It would be even more funnier if people would take you seriously. It is obvious that no one does. It DX you used to suck it. Now you just plain SUCK.

The crowd cheers. HHH looks peeved.

Billy Gunn:It all boils down to this. I want a title shot at your big nosed, Greenwhich ass. I will win my first World Heavyweight Title.

HHH:You got your match. I will destroy another wannabe just like Rob Van Dam.

Billy Gunn:Gee Triple H, I know how you win. You make your opponents bored with your slow ringstyle and then you put them in the main event sleeper. Well I know how to beat you. I will just drink plenty of coffee.

HHH didn't like that. "Assman" plays and Billy Gunn goes to the back.

77

The Dudley Boys vs Doug Basham and The Nightmare Dustin Rhodes

Highlights:Basham and Rhodes are trying to make a splash on Raw. Last week The Horsemen destroyed the Dudley Boys in the lockeroom and now it is payback time. Speaking of tag teams Dave Batista and HHH are still the World Tag Team Champions as part of the Horsemen, despite never defending the belts. Basham and Rhodes do some Horsemen style doubleteaming to keep D-Von in the corner. Rhodes crotches himself in the corner and tag to Bubba. Bubba is a house of fire. Basham is isolated. 2D. Wazzup. D-VON GET THE TABLES. While D-Von was getting the tables, Dustin Rhodes clocks Bubba with the ring bell and Basham scores the pin. D-Von is beaten up after the match and double suplexed through the table he set up. The Horsemen are still unstoppable. ** 3/4

RVD leaps over the top rope and escapes through the crowd. ** 3/4

Winner:Triple H(via DQ after RVD beat on the Game)

75(76, 76)

Maven vs Dave Batista

Highlights:Poor Maven. The announcers mention Bradshaw and how he will be out indefinantly after a (phantom) parking lot attack from the Horsemen last week after Raw went off the air. A nice way to cover up his firing if you ask me. Maven with three dropkicks but Batista just stood there and creamed Maven with a lariat. Batista threw Maven up in the air with a gorilla press and finished him off with a Sitdown Powerbomb. Batista has yet to be pinned or forced to submit in the WWE. ** 3/4

Storm and Regal isolate Booker T but Booker T ducks a double clothesline and wipes them out with a double clothesline of his own. Hot Tag to Test. Test comes in, fists of fire. Test hits the Big Boot on Regal and fights off Storm. The Horsemen(Batista, Basham, and Rhodes that is) come out and harass Stacy. Booker T tries to fight them off but gets pummeled and posted.

Lance Storm has the referee distracted in the corner and Batista wipes out Test with a lariat. Regal rolls on top to score the pin. Regal and Storm leave and The Horsemen beat on Test. Stacy pleads for them to stop but Batista grabs her by the hair. Batista is going to Sitout Power Bomb Stacy but Billy Gunn runs out with a pipe and chases off the Horsemen. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who Bradshaw's replacement for the Six man at Wrestlemania is(hint: he is blonde and his nickname is Mr. Ass). ***

Winners:Lance Storm and Test(via help from The Horsemen)

HHH calls out RVD

Game plays and out comes one pissed off HHH. Triple H enters the ring and grabs the microphone.

HHH:Rob Van Dam attacked me from behind. I am the Game and I don't deserve to be disrespected by a vanilla midget like Van Dam. So we don't even need to wait to Wrestlemania. Lets do it right now.

"One of a Kind" plays and out comes Rob Van Dam. Van Dam looks ready and he takes off his t-shirt. He is in sweatpants and jogging shoes. He doesn't care about wrestling gear. THE HORSEMEN JUMP RVD. They are pounding him into obvilion on the stage. It was a stepup. HHH rolls out of the ring and reaches underneath it. He reveals his trusty sledgehammer. POWER BOMB FROM BATISTA ON THE RAMP. Rhodes and Basham are stomping Van Dam. We cut to the lockeroom to see that the door from the lockeroom to the entrance hallway is blocked with a forklift. No one can help Van Dam. The Horsemen hold Van Dam.

HHH:This is a lesson to you Van Dam. NEVER CROSS THE GAME.

HHH drives the sledgehammer into the stomach of Van Dam. ANOTHER SHOT. Van Dam is spitting up blood. HHH with a shot to the face. Van Dam is now gushing blood. HHH grabs RVD by the hair and pitches him off the ramp. That is a distance of 15 feet. RVD lays on the cold hard floor, injured as HHH and the Horsemen stand above him smirking.

Great RAW, good to see Billy Gunn back. Although, I'd rather he be "The One" than "Mr. Ass". The Horsemen beatdown was awesome, old school with some new flavor to it. Can't wait till Wrestlemania!

Matt Hardy runs his mouth about the Rock

Matt Hardy:At Wrestlemania I will prove that I am greater then the Rock. I may have retired him last week when I gave him a concussian by beating on him with a chair while he was handcuffed in the ropes. The Rock may have millions and millions of fans but my loyal following of M'fers is greater than his millions and millions. In a simple Mattamatics equation. M'fers>The Rock's Millions and Millions. I can beat anyone on Smackdown. and...

Rikishi comes into the backstage area.

Rikishi:Mattitude, you have been talking smack about my man Rock. Well Rikishi has a problem with you.

Matt Hardy:Listen to me you big fat tub of goo. I will explain this to you in small words because you are Samoan and you are savage so thus you are stupid. In fact, you have a gimmick infringement suit coming your way as well. I invented the stinkface...by accident. I had my opponent in a corner during a match and I tripped over the referee, who was napping when he should have been in the match. I didn't hit him or anything. I fell into my opponent's face and sprained my ankle. In my struggle to get up, I rubbed my ass into his face. That move is called the Whiff of Greatness and Rikishi you stole...

Rikishi knocks down Matt Hardy with a right hand. Sercurity comes in the back to break it up.

Matt Hardy:Rikishi, you want a piece of me. You come down to the ring in about five minutes so I can give you a big Mattitude Adjustment.

68

Paul Heyman talks to the Big Show

Heyman:This is it Show. You are facing Brock Lesnar tonight. YOU have to take him out. Kurt Angle will not be pleased if you don't. Kurt Angle is already under a tremendous amount of stress defending his title week in and week out. He would be losing his hair if he had any. It is a must that you take Brock Lesnar out tonight. I want to see the Big Show of old. The man who would tear a man's heart out and stomped on it if he had a chance. Not a fat piece of trash who is a big pussy.

Big Show:So that is what you think I am Paul.

WWE Raw 3-24-03

We are SIX Days away from Wrestlemania. Lets get this show on the road.

Starting Wrestlemania Six Days Early:

"One of a Kind" plays and out comes Rob Van Dam. Van Dam is taped up from last week. Van Dam grabs the microphone.

Van Dam:HHH, last week what you did was not cool. You tried to kill me or at least take me out of Wrestlemania. You sicked your ponies on me and they did all of the dirty work. You are not a man Triple H. You are a coward. I am R-V-D. I am the man who will end your reign of Terror at Wrestlemania in six days time.

Van Dam pauses before continueing.

Van Dam:So, I will make this short because it is kind of hard to talk with bruised ribs. I know Ric Flair will be in your corner and he is the dirtiest player in the game so he will interfere. However I made a few calls and I called up an old friend of mine. He said he would be glad to watch my back at Wrestlemania so you, HHH, and you, Ric Flair, don't try any funny stuff. I will finally get a fair shot at HHH and this game will be discontinued.

"Wooo"

Out comes Triple H and Ric Flair. Flair holds the World Title belt of HHH's high, taunting RVD. Flair has held that belt 16 times. HHH has the microphone.

HHH:I don't care who you called. The fact of the matter is YOU CAN'T BEAT ME. I am God and you are just another wannabe. You aren't fit to worship the ground I piss on. This Sunday at Wrestlemania I will kick your skull in and the RVD legend will be done. Just to give you a little taste of what will happen at Wrestlemania, tonight if you can find three wrestlers in the back to face myself and the rest of the Horsemen in an Eight Man Tag, take your best shot. Because I am the Game, and I am THAT DAMN GOOD. And look behind you.

THE HORSEMEN SWARM THE RING. Van Dam gets into a fighting stance but Test, Booker T, and Billy Gunn run out with chairs and chase the Horsemen out. Booker T has the microphone.

Booker T:RVD, you have your three men. Can you dig that, SUCKKKKAAA!!!

Booker, Gunn, Test, and RVD stand tall in the ring. Will that be the case tonight.

81

Bikini Contest Time:

Jerry "The King" Lawler is in the ring to judge the Bikini Contest.

Lawler:Are you ready to see some PUPPIES!!!

The crowd has a mild reaction. Many of the smarter wrestling fans chant pervert but there are cheers.

Lawler:Introducing the first contestant.....Torrie Wilson.

Out comes Torrie Wilson wearing a blue robe. Torrie comes out to cheers.

Lawler:Introducing the second contestant....Stacy Keibler.

"Legs" plays and out comes Stacy Keibler wearing an Extra Large Test t-shirt. Stacy enters the ring.

Lawler:Okay girls let the games....

Out comes Doug Basham to the ring. What the hell. Doug Basham hits a double clothesline on both women.

Lawler:What the hell are you doing man.

Basham doesn't answer. He kicks Lawler in the groin and DDTs him. Basham locks on an armbar submission to the King. Basham now grabs Stacy Keibler.

Basham:Test, I am giving you ten seconds to get out here and save your Girlfriend. 10, 9....

We see Test running from the back but Batista is in his way. Batista and Test exchange blows.

Basham:8, 7, 6, 5, 4....

Batista is delaying Test still by blocking his way. It is hard to get a big man like Batista out of your way.

Basham:3, 2, 1. Well I guess Test doesn't care.

Basham kicks Stacy in the midsection and Basham lifts Stacy up. PILEDRIVER. Stacy may be hurt. Test finally makes his way out but it is too late. Basham raises a chair above the head of Stacy.

Basham:One step further and I WILL CRUSH HER GOD DAMN CRANIUM.

Test slowly backs off and BASHAM BASHES STACY OVER THE SKULL. Test runs to the ring but Basham escapes. Test is cursing Basham. The Four Horsemen may have gone too far this time.

75

Notes:Doug Basham gained overness from this segment.

Jonathan Coachman replaces Jerry "The King" Lawler at the broadcast booth.

Highlights:Typical Hardcore fare. Maven dropkicked a stop sign in the face of Raven and nearly won the Hardcore Title. Steven Richards run out and blinded Maven with the Fire Extiguisher and Raven hit the Evenflow on a cookie sheet for the pin. Al Snow ran out for the save after the match. The announcers speculate on the relationship between Steven Richards and Raven. **

Winner:Raven(Evenflow on Cookie Sheet)

63(71, 69)[One of those nights one nothing doesn't click. *sigh*. At least it wasn't at Wrestlemania]

Jacobs is ready

Jacobs:This Sunday, Kevin Nash you're time will be up. You dug your own grave from the minute you attacked me the first night. I will seal the coffin of your career at Wrestlemania. You hit me with wrenches, pipes, and power bombed me through tables. All it will take for me to finish you off is one choke slam.

HBK:I couldn't be here tonight live at the arena because I booked the wrong flight. However Chris Jericho, I know is here tonight, and will be facing Glen Jacobs. Good luck Chris, hope you are in one piece for Hell in a Cell in six days.

HBK pauses.

HBK:Jericho, you think you are a big shot. You think you are a living legend. Well buddy I am a living legend. I earned my spot as a living legend through respect from the fans. By winning a big match at Wrestlemania, which is something you haven't done yet. I am sorry, but beating William Regal does not count as a big victory. This Sunday, you will have the chance to put your money where your mouth is. I don't think you can beat me. You don't have it Jericho. Its what I had. Its what Hulk Hogan had. Its what Ric Flair had. Its what Randy Savage had. Its what Stone Cold Steve Austin had. It is respect from the fans. That is the one thing you are missing and you can't take defeats gracefully. Every time you get beat you cry like a soiled infant. You can't get respect in that manner.

HBK pauses again.

HBK:The Hell in a cell, well I was in the first one. I hoped it would be the last but it is nessesary for ending feuds. Undertaker vs myself. Undertaker vs Mick Foley. Mick Foley vs Triple H. All classics. I want to make another classic this Sunday. I want to prove that my body can still take it. I want to win the Hell in a Cell match at Wrestlemania. It would be the biggest achivement in my career and that is saying something. As for Wrestlemania, I have been in several. Matches with such icons like Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Tito Santana, and of course Akeem. Can't forget about the Twin Towers vs the Rockers at Wrestlemania V. My Wrestlemania debut. Always will hold a special place in my heart. Hell in a Cell at Wrestlemania with Chris Jericho may have a chance to top it all in six days time.

The video footage fades out.
