Hoff 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2005 [i]Deceived by my eyes And all I was told I should see Opinions not mine The person they taught me to be...[/i] The fans jeer as Drek Stone's theme song echoes throughout the arena, and jeer even more for the man himself, accompanied by the Global Party Exchange. COLE Fans, word is that Drek Stone will answer Hoff's challenge tonight. CABOOSE Great. That probably means we'll hear from the oaf... Drek, dressed impeccably as always, strides down the aisle as his cohorts jaw with the fans. The three men hit the ring, where Stone asks for a mic. "BOOOOOOOOOOOO" CABOOSE What a bunch of savages. Drek takes the mic from the timekeeped...and passes it off to Scotty Static. SCOTTY Awwwww yeeeeah, GPX up in Raleigh.... "YEAH!!!" JAX Whoa, Scotty. Don't be sayin' that too loud. We got a rep to protect, y'heard? "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The GPX laugh at their jest. Stone chuckles. SCOTTY Listen, y'all. Raleigh, time to take notice. This bidness is changin', and for the better. Time for the dinosaurs to head back to tha Crustacean Era, and the time for us to shine. JAX Yo, f'real, and all you peeps that want sum of us, we right here. COACH Holla, playas. Holla. Coach pounds his chest, showing "love" for the GPX, who...ignore him. JAX Uh...right, right. So listen up, y'all, and listen good, because right now mah MAIN man got somethin' to say. The fans jeer as the boys pass the mic to Drek Stone. DREK Thanks, guys. Now... "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" DREK You know, booing greatness isn't going to make you Carolina hicks look any smarter. [b]"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!![/b] Drek laughs. DREK Anyway, I'm out here to address a certain cretin's recent challenges. Now-- Drek is cut off in mid-sentence by "Black" as the FANS GO WILD!! CABOOSE Damn, I knew it. The crowd cheers as Hoff steps onto the stage and heads down the ramp, mic in hand. The big man is dressed for battle, and looking none too pleased as he hits the ring. The GPX move forward to intercept, but Drek holds them back. Drek shakes his head as Hoff stares him down. DREK Didn't take you long, did it? HOFF Fight me. The fans cheer, but Drek just shakes his head again. DREK Hoff, please. A few weeks ago, you said you didn't want to fight. Now, suddenly, you're ready to go? I don't get it. Are your steroids flaring up again? The fans "oooooooooooh" the burn, as the GPX slap hands. Hoff remains unmoving. HOFF Fight me. DREK Hoff, please. Right now, I've got bigger and better things to do than fight you just because you got your panties in a twist-- HOFF STOP TALKING. Fight me. Tonight, the Bash, I don't care. But you and I are gonna meet in this ring one way or another. "HOFF HOFF HOFF HOFF HOFF HOFF HOFF HOFF" Drek takes a step back and begins to pace. DREK Hoff, you're looking at this all wrong. You see, last week, you said you respect me as an in-ring competitor. Well, Hoff, I respect you too. So much, in fact, that I graciously offered you a spot at my side in what's yet to come. And you took that offer and threw it away. HOFF Drek, I'll never stand with you. That is a promise. Not with you, not in this. DREK Don't be so hasty, Hoff. Since I respect you so much, I'm willing to make you the same offer yet again. Now....now, you don't know it yet, but if you join me in this, we can take on the world! Togther! We would be [i]unstoppable![/i] The entire company would be ours to control. And you, Hoff. You could finally be the champion you've always wanted to be! And you'd be defending a title that actually meant something, the championship of a truly great company, not the piece of tin men like Zack Malibu have turned it into. Men like Tony Brannigan. Paper champions. You could be a [i]true[/i] champion, Hoff. And all you have to do is say you accept. So, please. Let's not do this. Join us, Hoff. Before it's too late. Hoff looks on, then blinks, taking a step back of his own. COLE Wow. COACH A hell of an offer. Hoff scratches his goatee before raising the mic. HOFF Drek...you've just painted me one hell of a picture. You make it sound like a wrestling utopia. But I know you, Stone. After all we've been through, all our wars, oh, I know you all too well. And I know that your words are worthless. You'd use me until it suited you, and have the goon squad here stab me in the back. The GPX bristle as Drek scowls. HOFF So, Drek, thanks...but no thanks. I don't want your friendship....I want your ass. "YYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Drek FUMES as Hoff's refusal. The big man manages a half-smile as Drek loses his cool. DREK You son of a bitch. You NARROW MINDED ASS! You want me so bad, fine. Here's how it is. I'll fight you at the Great Angle Bash, but IF I WIN you'll join me, under MY control, and so as I say. That's my deal. take it or leave it. HOFF And if I win? DREK Then the song remains the same, big man. You can hang on to your noninvolvement policy forever if you want, Switzerland. But trust me, I will beat you one more time. HOFF Drek, you can count wins and losses all you want, but you never...ever...beat me. Drek looks on the verge of pulling his hair out as Hoff continues. HOFF Well I'll take your offer, Drek, but only on one condition. The Bash? It's you and me. Strictly no outside interference, from Gomer and Goober here, or anyone else. I want you one on one. Drek's eyebrows raise. DREK Why, Hoff? You afraid of what we can do? The GPX snicker, but Hoff remains unfazed. HOFF Drek...I wasn't kidding last week. When it comes to this ring, to this sport, I respect the hell out of you, and I want one more shot to see if I can take you out, mano y mano. And Drek...I know you want it too. I know that right now, your Italian pride is burning you up inside. You'd LOVE to show me up, to prove to the world that you're truly the better man. Well, Drek, for once, our thoughts are one. Let's do it right, Drek. One more time to see who the better man truly is. Drek's eyes are alive with pride and passion. He looks hard at Hoff, barely thinking before he says: DREK You're on. The fans EXPLODE! Behind Drek, Johnny and Scotty freak out, looking at each other and at Drek frantically. DREK But that doesn't mean we can't get a little work in right now. Suddenly, Drek kicks Hoff in the GROIN~! COLE WHAT?! Like lions, the three men pounce on the floored Hoff, stomping away at the downed Hoff! Stone, Static and Jax are laying some hard shots in...until ZACK MALIBU AND SOME GUY HIT THE RING!!! CABOOSE WHAT THE HELL?! Zack and SG FLOOR the GPX with stereo spears, taking the boys down and firing away at them! Hoff manages to get back up as Drek is distracted, and Hoff and Drek Stone begin slugging it out! It's KATIE BAR THE DOOR-- VOICE STOP IT!!!!!! On the ramp appears a very exasperated Josie Baker. JOSIE I have HAD it!! You all want each other so bad? Fine. Tonight, it's you, you, and you againt you two and you. Got it?! Everyone sort of looks at Josie. The GM sighs. JOSIE Drek and the GPX against...well, you figure it out from there. Have fun. Baker makes a quick exit, and SECURITY hits the ring to keep everyone apart! All six men are jawing back and forth, hurling insults and challenges. COLE Oh my! It's going to be Hoff teaming up with Some Guy and....and Zack Malibu, to take on Drek Stone and the GPX! COACH Unbelievable! PK -- I apologize, man. Something came up and I got to run. I'll edit the CSI bit in tomorrow. Adam, if you can leave a space I'd appreciate it, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
