(As Raw comes on the air, Scott Hall makes his way down to ringside, holding
the WWE Championship, which he won the previous night from Hulk Hogan.)

Scott Hall:
Hey yo.  You know, something is bothering me man.  Ever since the WWE had its
big resurgence, something has been going wrong with the World Title picture.
First of all, Randy Savage wins the belt.  Then, just a few days after that,
Hulk Hogan won the belt, and now it seems as though the Ultimate Warrior is
the number 1 contender to the belt.

What the heck is up with all these dinosaurs man?  Did somebody just empty out
the tar pits and let them loose?  Who's next man?  Jake Roberts?  Sgt Slaugter
maybe?  How about the Mountie, huh?  Well let me tell you a little something,
you can throw all the dinosaurs in the world at me man, but I will just knock
them right back at you, just like I did with Hogan last night.  This belt, it
isn't going anywhere, so Ultimate Warrior, you better just give up and go back
to your coffin right now.

As far as Wrestlemania is con..

(Hall is interrupted by the start of Rob Van Dam's music.  RVD makes his way
down to the ring.)

RVD:
Hey!  Scott Hall!  The WWE Champion!  That's pretty impressive man, I gotta
tell ya.  But you know what Scott?  I'm kinda confused by what you're saying
dude.  You say you don't like some of the older superstars getting title shots
and winning the belts, but hey, you're not exactly all that young yourself?
I know you're not as old as guys like Hogan, Savage or Ric Flair, but you're
certainly nowhere near as young or agile as...Rob...Van...Dam.

So why don't you relax dude?  Take a chill pill and mellow out.  All you gotta
do is win the match at Wrestlemania, and then you're done with the Warrior.
You can do that, can't you?

Scott Hall:
Hey, RVD, when did I ever say that I couldn't man?  I never said I wasn't gonna
kick the Warrior's ass, so your words of wisdom mean nothing to me man.  So
why don't you just walk your little mid-card ass back to the locker room, and
let the big boys have their fun.

Rob Van Dam:
Woh dude.  You really are wound up pretty tight there.  I tell you what, I can
get you a little something that'll calm you down real good.  You'll love it, I
guarantee you.

Scott Hall:
You know what little man, I don't need you for stuff like that.  I already got
what I need, and that's this belt right here.  But you know what, I got a 
little something for you, which I think you've got coming to ya.  Yo Pac, I
got one for ya right here.

(The music of X-Pac kicks in, and the Intercontinental Champion starts making
his way down to the ring.)

Jim Ross:
Wait a minute, what business does X-Pac have out here?  Is this gonna be some
sort of 2 on 1 ambush on Rob...wait a minute!  It's Ken Shamrock!  Ken Shamrock
chasing after X-Pac!  Ken Shamrock, who got screwed out of the Intercontinental
Title last night!  X-Pac is high-tailing it!

(Shamrock chases X-Pac through the crowd, leaving RVD unharmed in the ring.)

Rob Van Dam:
Dude, you've really gotta get some better allies!  But you know something, it
seems like you're desperate for a fight dude, so why don't we have one right 
here tonight.  You and your little runaway buddy there, against me and Ken
Shamrock?  I'm cool with that.

Scott Hall:
You want it man, you got it.  But let me tell you something, once I'm done with
you tonight man, you can scrub out any thoughts of ever getting a shot at my
belt.  Because I'm gonna drop you so far down the card, you'll think you're
still in a bingo hall, playing to a group of Philadelphia idiots.  And that,
RVD, is where you belong.
