(As Smackdown comes on the air, Hollywood Hogan makes his way down to the ring
and grabs a mic.)

Hollywood Hogan:
You know something brutha, I've realised why Shane McMahon and Chris Benoit are
working together.  It's because the two of them are the biggest cowards going
today.  Benoit can't take the fact that the nWo is breathing down his neck and
ready to take the WWE title back, so he goes and makes a whole bunch of stupid
matches and stipulations designed to distract us from getting the belt, and
McMahon, well McMahon is the worst of the bunch, he's such a coward that he
hits people from behind with steel chairs in an attempt to end their careers.

Well you know what?  This Sunday night, it all comes to an end for the both of
you.  This Sunday, when myself or Brock Lesnar takes the WWE title, we'll be
once again rid of Shane McMahon, and Chris Benoit will have none of that title
stroke that he's been flaunting for the past few weeks.  And believe me Chris
Benoit, for all of the stunts that you've pulled because of that stroke, we
are going to make you pay dearly.  On Sunday night, the cowards will fall, and
the nWo will reign supreme once more, and there's noth...

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

Shane McMahon:
You know Hogan, it seems kinda funny that you call me and Chris Benoit a pair
of cowards, because if you hadn't noticed, the group that you're leading, the
group that has been controlling this company the past few months, is the single
biggest group of cowards known to man.

Case in point, we have Randy Orton.  Now Randy Orton is a man who calls himself
the Legend Killer, and yet he doesn't want to step into the ring with Goldberg.
He constantly dodges Goldberg, and throws other members of the nWo in his way,
simply because he knows that he can't compete with that man.  

Then, you have Jeff Jarrett.  Jeff Jarrett who went around bragging that he
buried the Undertaker in his own casket, when in fact that only happened due
to a rather large assist from the Big Show.  Now, as you well know, this Sunday
at the Royal Rumble, the Undertaker has vowed that he will return and exact
his revenge on Jeff Jarrett.  Well I can officially say that's not going to
happen.  And the reason I say that is because Jeff Jarrett no longer works for
WWE.  That's right, Jeff Jarrett was so scared of the Undertaker that he went
and walked out on the company.  And you still think that myself and Benoit are
cowards, Hogan?  I'm gonna walk out when I'm done talking tonight Hogan, but
the difference is, I'll be back at the Rumble, and after that, I'll be back
for good.

And then of course Hogan, we have you, the man who truly is the biggest coward
in this company.  You, who used Goldberg to get the WWE title, only to try and
take him out when he lost it.  You, who has repeatedly used your position to
manipulate the title scene in this company.  You, who was so hell bent on not
allowing Chris Benoit to be the WWE Champion that you placed Brock Lesnar into
the match to make it a pseudo 2-on-1 contest.  You, Hogan, you are the damn
coward, and whether it's tonight, or the Royal Rumble, you are going to get
what's coming to you, and nobody is going to be happier about that than I am.
Nobody.

(Shane O Mac's music hits again, as he returns to the back, leaving Hogan stood
angrily in the ring.)
