(As Smackdown comes on the air, the WWE Champion Chris Benoit makes his way
down to the ring.)

Chris Benoit:
Hollywood Hogan and Brock Lesnar.  I know full well that the two of you want to
take me on in a 2 on 1 handicap match prior to the Triple Threat at the Royal
Rumble, and you know what, that's a fight that I'm willing to take part in. But
it's going to be on my terms and conditions.  So, as far as I'm con...

(The nWo music kicks in, as Hogan and Lesnar appear on the ramp.)

Hollywood Hogan:
Conditions, huh Benoit?  You're gonna hide behind stipulations to stop us from
kicking your ass so bad?  Is that what you're going to do?  How about we come
down there right now, and get the match started.

Chris Benoit:
Easy there Hogan, I never said that I wanted the match tonight.  In fact, I
already have a match booked for tonight against you two guys, but it's going
to be a tag team match with you two against myself and the man you two guys
tried to take down last Monday, Edge.

Hollywood Hogan:
Edge?  That guy must love getting his ass handed to him.  But you know what
Benoit, screw tonight's match, when are you going to grow a set and take on
the handicap match.

Chris Benoit:
Seriously Hogan, calm the hell down.  You want a handicap match, then you've
got it - next Monday night on Raw.  But as I said before, there's a little
condition that led to me signing a contract for this match, and that is that
I get the chance to step in the ring with the two of you again on Smackdown
next week.

Hollywood Hogan:
You want two handicap matches in a week?  Brutha, you're even stupider than I
thought you were.

Chris Benoit:
I never said anything about two handicap matches Hogan.  Next week on Smackdown
I will step in the ring with you and Brock Lesnar, but it will be as the guest
referee in a Hollywood Hogan versus Brock Lesnar match.

Hollywood Hogan:
WHAT?  You can't do that brutha, Lesnar, tell him he can't do that, tell him
what you think about that match!

Brock Lesnar:
You want me to tell him what I think?  Benoit...I accept!

Hollywood Hogan:
Yeah, you heard the man Benoit, he acce...you accept?!?

Brock Lesnar:
You're damn right I accept Hogan.  There's nothing I'd appreciate more than
getting to fight you Hulkster.  May the best man win, if you know what I mean.

Hollywood Hogan:
I think I do brutha.  Benoit, you may think you're clever, but I'm putting you
on a warning - you're in for three shows of misery dude, courtesy of the nWo.

(The nWo music hits, as Hogan and Lesnar point the finger at and trash talk
Benoit.  The champion, however, reacts with laughter at these threats.)
