Val gets on the mic. What the hell are you doing? Me and you go way back and I have never seen you like this. You can't blame these people for your business failing.

***SMACKDOWN***

 

Vince McMahon in his office. Good evening, Last Monday Ric Flair named Undertaker the #1 contender to face Triple H at Backlash. Flair may have forgot, but whoever won the draft coin toss, is the one who gets to pick the #1 contender. I won the coin toss. And tonight I will name the #1 contender.

 

Smackdown opening.

 

Kurt Angle comes to the ring. I am out here to publicly state, YES, I hereby am officially stating that I will face Triple H at Backlash. I own Triple H. I beat him more times than anyone in this company. I'm an olympic gold medalist. I am adored and admired by children and senior citizens worldwide, especially the sick ones.

 

Chris Jericho comes to the ring. Angle you pompous jackass. There is no way in hell that you deserve that shot. No one deserves that shot except for me. I was the very first undisputed champion in history and I have not received 1, one on one rematch yet. You all think I am a "has been". I am not a "has been". I'm gonna prove it because I'm taking that championship match at Backlash. How do you like that Angle?

 

I do not like it one bit. Your request for a title match has "already been" completed.

 

That was a good one Angle. If memory serves me correctly, the last time the two of us faced each other in a match, this "supposed has been", beat you. There is only one way to settle this. You vs me tonight on Smackdown, the winner face Triple H at Backlash.

 

I'm fine with that. Consider it done.

 

The Rock comes out to the top of the stage. Finally the Rock has come back to Rochester. You two actually think that you are the only viable wrestlers to throw their names in the hat? Let the Rock remind you there is one man that has had bigger matches with Triple H than both of you put together. Maybe there is some one else. The Rock knows that one day he'll have his title shot. But until then, maybe the one man that deserves a title shot more than the Rock, we should give the title shot at Backlash to an icon.

 

Angle gets on the mic. Well thank you Rock.

 

Shut your mouth jabroni. The Rock is not talking about you. The Rock is talking about Hulk Hogan.

 

Jericho on the mic. That is ridiculous.

 

It doesn't matter what either one of you think. What you two fail to realize is that this is all new. This is a new Smackdown. Although this is the Rock's show, Smackdown will now and forever be known as the People's Show. In 30 seconds these fans will let you know who they want to see at Backlash. They will chant either Hogan, Jericho, or Angle. Loud Hogan chants erupt. Whoah whoah whoah. This is your show. You keep that sumbitch going. More Higan chants. If you are listening Vince, the most electrifying fans have spoken. As you say, the money talks and the bullshit walks. If you smell what the Rock is coking.

Triple H comes to the ring. On Raw Ric Flair made a championship match for Backlash, Triple H vs Undertaker. Tonight, Vince states that it is he that contractually has the right to make the championship match at Backlash, not Ric Flair. So Vince makes the match. It will be Triple H vs Hulk Hogan. I could care less either way. But since it looks like it will be Hogan, and Dead Man since I know you are watching this, let me assure you of one thing. This title is going no where. You have lost nothing. When I get done with Hogan I will be waiting for you. As far as Hogan goes.

 

Voodoo Child plays as Hogan comes to the ring wearing red and yellow. Hogan gets on the mic. As far as Hogan goes, I was just as suprised as you were Hunter when Vince made the match. I thought it couldn't get any bigger than Wrestlemania 18 when I took on the Rock. The fans brought Hulkamania back. The fans have suprised me more than anything else in my life. Hulkamania is back brother. But it doesn't get any bigger than the Undisputed Title. So if these fans believe in me, and these fans believe I deserve a shot, well then brother I am gonna take it.

 

Triple H on the mic. You are right. It doesn't...Crowd interupts with Hogan chants. It doesn't get any bigger than the Undisputed Championship. It will be an honor for me to be in the ring with the immortal Hulk Hogan. While it is an honor, there is just a little part of me that is sad. Sad because I am gonna have to hurt someone who I have looked up to my whole life. And I'm gonna have to hurt him badly. Make no mistake. I will not hesitate. Not for one second will I hesitate in that ring. When you step in the ring with me and you look in my eye, you are not immortal, you are not an icon. You are just like everybody else. You are an obstacle. And I will run you down. Now, that is not a threat, that is not a warning. That is just the fact. Nothing will come between me and this Undisputed Title. Not even the immortal Hulk Hogan. Because, brother, I am the game. And I am that damn good.

 

Hogan on the mic. You may be right. But even when the experts say Hulkamania is dead and gone, it always rises up again. At Backlash when Hulkamania rises up, I have just one question for you. Whatcha gonna do brother, when Hulkamania runs wild on you. Hogan rips off his shirt and Hunter smiles. Hogan and Triple H stare at each other before Triple H finally leaves the ring.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

That's two sources for this one.  I think we can claim it as being the correct one.

[Guest Austin3164life]

I live here in Rochester.  I was going to go, but once I started hearing about the split, I figured most of the talent would go to Raw.  How wrong I was.  Seemed like a good show.   I'll ask my friend at school (a Rock/Hogan mark) if he liked it....
