(As Raw comes on the air, nWo members Hollywood Hogan and Brock Lesnar make
their way down to ringside.  Hogan grabs a mic and begins to address the crowd
in attendance.)

Hollywood Hogan:
Chris Benoit, you've been the WWE champion for a little over a week, and you
are already starting to piss me off.  First of all, you start using your stroke
as the champion to call the shots around here, and then you announce to the
world that you're bringing back Shane McMahon at the Royal Rumble?  Well it
stops right here tonight, Benoit.

You see, right here tonight, in this very ring brutha, we're gonna have a small
preview of the Royal Rumble.  But no, it's not gonna be you versus me versus
my main man Brock Lesnar, no, it's gonna be me and Brock Lesnar versus Chris
Benoit in a handicap match, and to throw it back to you Benoit, there's not a
damn thing that you can do about it.

(As Hogan finishes his sentence, Chris Benoit appears on the Titantron.)

Chris Benoit:
Hogan!  Hey, Hollywood Hulk Hogan!  I hate to rain on your parade Hollywood
Hulk Hogan, but there is something that I can do about it.  You see, by using
my considerable stroke as the WWE champion, I decided to give myself the night
off.  So your handicap match is going to have to wait Hogan, because I'm not
in the arena tonight.  Rest assured though, when the time is right, I'll take
that challenge up, and I'll beat you both.

Brock Lesnar:
You know something Benoit, you can tell us the truth, you took the night off
because you're nothing but a pathetic coward.  You don't have to lie to us
Chris, because we know the truth.

Chris Benoit:
Brock, if you knew the truth, you would know that Hogan is just using you to
help him get the title.  He doesn't you wearing the belt just as much as he
doesn't want me wearing it.  

Hollywood Hogan:
I suggest you shut your mouth Benoit, before I come back there and shut it for
you.  Where the hell are you anyway, because I'll be there in a matter of
minutes.

Chris Benoit:
Well Hogan, not that it's really any of your business, but I've been invited
round to a good friend of mine's house for a business meeting.  Oh, and here
he comes right now.  Shane, would you like to say hello to the Hulkster?

(Shane McMahon steps into the shot, to a huge pop from the crowd.)

Shane McMahon:
Well, well, well.  If it isn't Hollywood Hogan.  What's up Hulkster?  Still
bald?  Still sporting that fake tan of yours?  Still making a mockery of the
WWE booking system?  How silly of me, of course you are.  Some things never
change.

But at the Royal Rumble, things are going to change.  I'm gonna call the match
right down the middle Hogan, but I guarantee you, when it's all said and done,
I will be back in charge, and then I'm going to do what I should have done at
the Survivor Series.  I'm going to kill the nWo.  Hogan, Lesnar, I'll see you
at the Rumble.

(The Titantron fades out.)

Hollywood Hogan:
You know something Shane McMahon, be as confident as you like, because when you
show up at the Rumble, I guarantee you that it'll be the last time you ever
set foot in a WWE ring.

And as far as you're concerned Benoit, I'll deal with you when I next see you.
You know what though?  The handicap match goes ahead as planned, but instead
of being you in the match Benoit, we'll take down one of your Canadian friends.
How does Chris Jericho sound to you Brock?

Brock Lesnar:
Jericho's good, but you know what, I'd much prefer to decimate Edge.

Hollywood Hogan:
Then Edge it is.  Right here tonight, it's Brock Lesnar and Hollywood Hogan
versus Edge in a handicap match, and you damn well better appreciate that there
is nothing you can do about it.
