(As Smackdown comes on the air, Hollywood Hogan leads the nWo down to the ring
and grabs a mic.)

Hollywood Hogan:
Well you know something brothers, it's not long now until the nWo officially
takes over this company, so I suggest you start to show us a little respect.
At the Survivor Series, when I take out Shane McMahon, there will be nothing
to stop us from taking what we want, when we want it.

That being said, there's nothing do that now, so the only difference after I
beat Shane McMahon is that we'll officially be the big men on campus.  And 
when we are, there are two little punks that we're going to deal with first,
and those punks are the New Rockers.  Week after week, you pieces of garbage
have been making us look foolish, but when we're in charge, you two guys can
consider yourselves fired.  Don't worry about the tag team titles though, guys,
as you'll have lost them by the end of tonight. 

You see, right here tonight New Rockers, you're defending those tag team titles
of yours against another nWo combination.  Right here tonight, you're defending
them against my main man Brock Lesnar, and his partner, the man who rid the WWE
of the Undertaker, Jeff Jarrett!  And tonight, those belts are finally coming
home to the n...

(Hogan is cut off by the music of Shane McMahon, who makes his way out onto the
ramp.)

Shane McMahon:
Hogan, while I appreciate you coming out here and assisting the insomniacs in
the crowd with another one of your boring speeches, I feel that a reality check
is in order.  You see, now that I'm back from my hiatus, you guys don't have
the book anymore, I do.  So, as far as I'm concerned, while I'm in charge, the
nWo will not be getting any more shots at the tag team championship.

Quite frankly, I think these people are sick of seeing the nWo get tag title
shots week after week, and they want some fresh challengers.  So that's exactly
what I'm going to provide.  You see, right here tonight, the New Rockers will
defend their tag team titles, against a team of MY choosing, and I have chosen
the team of Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin to fight for the gold!

Hollywood Hogan:
You can't do that brother!

Shane McMahon:
I think you'll find that I can.  And seeing as I can, how about I make a few
other necessary matches that seem to have been ignored since you guys had the
book.  First of all, I watched No Mercy, and I saw that horrifying excuse for
a casket match, where The Undertaker was stuffed into the casket by Jarrett
and the Big Show.  Now, I'm sure that the Undertaker would love to get revenge
on both you guys, only nobody knows where the Undertaker is.  So instead, in
that very ring here tonight, it's going to be Jeff Jarrett one on one with...
The Big Show.

Hollywood Hogan:
What the hell are you talking about, they're both nWo, brother.  They won't
fight!

Shane McMahon:
Oh they will fight, Hogan, or else I'll see to it that they're both suspended
indefinitely.  And don't even think about a little finger on the chest routine
either, because I guarantee you, that won't go unpunished either.

And speaking of unpunished, Scott Hall, after what you did to Goldust last week
on Raw, I very much doubt you'll go that way.  You see, Booker T, HBK and the
New Rockers, they've picked a replacement partner for Survivor Series, and on
Monday night, you're going to have the chance to go one on one with him.  And
believe me, he's not in a forgiving mood.

Finally, let's talk about the Survivor Series main event.  Goldberg vs Chris
Benoit for the WWE title.  Now, after what went down last Monday, I've decided
to make this match a no DQ, no count-out match.  And before you guys get any
ideas, if any member of the nWo interferes to try and save the title for Bill
Goldberg, that member will be fired on the spot.  Understand?

Hollywood Hogan:
Yeah, we understand Shane, but let me tell you this.  Our match is before that
one on the Pay Per View, so understand this.  As soon as I beat you Shane, I've
got the book, so that little firing clause, it'll be wiped out of the contract
straight away.

Shane McMahon:
Well, that's up to you Hogan, but I would have thought Goldberg wouldn't have
needed any help, would he?  I mean, he doesn't strike me as a yellow coward.

(Goldberg grabs the mic from Hogan.)

Goldberg:
Who the hell are you calling a coward, you little punk?

Shane McMahon:
Well, when last I checked, I think I was calling you a coward.  But seeing as
there's a whole bunch of cowards stood in that ring, it's kinda tough to tell.

Goldberg:
I'm no coward McMahon, I'm a champion.  I'm YOUR champion.  And after Survivor
Series, I'll still be the champion, while you're left on the scrapheap.

Shane McMahon:
Well, I'm glad to see you've got confidence Goldberg, because you'll be needing
it tonight, when you go one on one against...me.  Don't worry, the title isn't
on the line, this is just about me kicking your ass for betraying my trust.
And just so you know, the whole "firing" clause, that's in effect for tonight
as well, so don't even think about calling your buddies down.  I hope that
you're ready Goldberg, because I'm damn sure looking forward to being next!
