Forward:The XWF has gone through some major changes in the last few weeks. All of the stables that existed a few weeks ago are now gone to peices. There is also a new world champion as of Raw last week, when Kurt Angle beat The Rock, something that no one has been able to do for the longest time for his XWF Title, to become The XWF Inter-World Champion. Holding both The Intercontinental Championship and The XWF World Title. And Kurt Angle is not going to be able to defend both of those titles night after night, as much as he may want to believe that he can. So this leads up to a Number One Contenders Match for this title on Raw. This matchup will pit Stone Cold Steve Austin, Raven and 'The Crippler' Chris Benoit against each other.
The scene opens with 'The Crippler' Chris Benoit and Trish Stratus at The Calgary Stampede. They are there to have fun and to sign autographs. There is a whole area set up for the autograph's where there is allready a line. Trish Stratus and Chris Benoit are waiting behind the area until they are told they can go out and sign the autographs. Once they are told they can go out, they get ready and a few minutes later they go out. They walk out from behind and go and sit down in the chairs provided for them. They sign autographs for about an hour before the time they were told to is done. They stay for a few more minutes after that to sign a few more and then they get up and go back behind. Thet people at the back of the line seem dissappointed and angry but just get over it and walk away. When they get back behind they each grab a bottle of water and decide that while they are there they might as well wander around and see what is going on. They go and watch the parade for a few minutes but there are some die hartd XWF fans there who did not get their autographs and when they see them coming towards them they both decide to go somewhere else. They then go and get something to drink and then Chris decides that while they are in Calgary that they might as well go and visit Stu Hart. Trish does not howevere really want to go over there because Chris goes there too often. So Chris reluctantly agrees with Trish. They continue to walk around for a few minutes until who do they see, none other than someone else from The XWF, 'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross. Chris Benoit and Trish Stratus go up to him and tap him on the shoulder, and when he turns around they start to talk to him.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Hey Jim, what are you doing here?
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Oh, hey Chris. It is the Calgary Stampede, I never miss it.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Oh, Okay.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:While we are here, do you think I could get a few words with you and Trish on camera?
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Okay, but why would you need that?
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:No one has really talked to you in awhile Chris, about your matches or anything, and there has not been one person who has got a word with Trish so far, after you tried so hard to get her into The XWF.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Well the fact that no one has been coming up to me asking me about my matches before they happen is a good thing. Those whiny little people that you people have working for The XWF to do that just piss me right off, I have no idea what to do with them.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Humour them Chris, there are people who do not like you either, and they put up with you the best they can, so you can do the same to the people you dont like, everyone else in The XWF humours them as much as they annoy them.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Ya, I guess. Well where do you want to go to do this interview that you want? Your about the only person who I have no problems giving one to.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Just meet me at the address on this peice of paper and we will do it. Meet me there in about an hour.
With that 'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross gives Chris Benoit the peice of paper and walks away. Chris Benoit opens it up and thinks for a second about where it is and then realizes and looks at Trish who starts to talk to him.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus:Chris, I thought you hated being interviewed.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Normally I do Trish, but right now I have some things on my mind and I cant wait till Monday to get them out, ecspecially about the match that I have been given for Raw.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus:Whats wrong with your match on Raw??
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:I dont feel like explaining it twice, so you will just have to wait till we see JR to find out.
With that Chris Benoit takes a final sip of his drink and then throws the can in the garbage closest to him and then him and Trish start to walk around once again. This time they keep a close eye on the time, when it has been about half an hour past the time JR told them to meet him at the place they decide to leave. They go and get a cab and tell the driver where to go. The driver looks at them uncertanly and asks them if that is really where they want to go, Chris says yes and the driver aknowladges and starts driving with a confused look on his face. Trish looks over at Chris and starts to talk.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus:Chris, why would he question where you want to go???
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Well lets just say that most people think that its an old abandon warehouse. But The XWF uses it a lot, they have places like it all over the country, I have not been to this one before but I have been to a couple of the others to shoot commercials and crap.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus:Well why would he want us to go there then?
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:It must obvisoully be the best place around here for him to do an interview or he would have picked somewhere else for us to go and meet him.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus:This interview better be worth leaving the Stampede, I was actually having some fun.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Trish, think of it this way, you can either have a little bit of fun today, or do this interview with JR and get your point across and have people in Thw XWF hear you. And for me there is only one choice, and I think you know what it is, because we are on our way there.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus:I guess you are right. I just hope that people do get to see it.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:That you dont have to worry about, I know for sure Jim will show it to Raven and Stone Cold, seeing as they are my opponents on Raw, just to show them what I have to say about the match, and you can be damn sure that Raven is going to be taking in every word that I have to say in there because everytime that I have been in the ring with him I have come out on top and everytime I say I will against him I do what I say, and he knows it. And Trish, I am damn sure that there will be other people who will see this, because Jim does not go out and interview someone for the hell of it, when he does an interview with someone people see it, so I dont think you should be worrying about that at all.
With that the cab stops and the cab driver tells them they are there. Chris Benoit reaches in his pocket and gets the money and pays the cabbie and gives him a few dollar tip for actually being the first cab driver to not talk to him about being a wrestler or anything like that. Trish Stratus and Chris Benoit get out of the cab. She looks at it and looks back at Chris.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus:This... is it?
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Yes it is, and if you dont like it, too bad because this is where we are going to be for the next little awhile.
With that, Chris Benoit and Trish Stratus walk around to the side where they open the door and they see a whole bunch of lights and sets and props set up, and then they see Jim Ross sitting at the other end on his phone. Chris Benoit and Trish Stratus then walk over to him and he gets off his phone and stands up and shkes their hands.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Just take a seat and we will start in a minute.
Trish Stratus and Chris Benoit then sit down and wait for a cameraman to come and tape it. Once a cameraman shows up they get ready and get started.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Let me just start this off with thanking you both for coming here and taking time away from your busy schedule.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Its no problem Jim, we are both glad to be here.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Okay, first off, Chris, so far in your time in The XWF, you have had some high points and some low points, what would you say are your highest and lowest points.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Well Jim, so far my lowest point would have to be teaming with that low life Raven, who did absolutely nothing except hold me down from what I was capable of doing. And my high point in The XWF has not yet come to pass, it will be when I win either The Intercontinental Championship or The World Title, seeing as both are held in high regard and not everyone gets shots at them.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Well, your chance of holding Intercontinental Gold may be close at hand for you Chris, if you can overcome both opponents on Raw this week.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:If? Jim, that is not how I think of it, I think of it as when I beat both of them, and heel, this match may as well be me against Stone Cold, because everytime that I step into the ring with Raven in a match, when it is me against him, take a look in the record books and it will show that I was the one who came out on top, I have beat him everytime I have faced him, and Jim, on Monday this is not going to stop. And if you look back, I dont know when, and I dont care, but Raven actually defated Stone Cold, and I find that a laugh because if he actually did this then why the hell is this match even taking place? Seeing as I will have no problems taking both of these men out.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Now Chris, you have had a shot at Intercontinental Gold before, if you go back a few months ago at Backlash you faced Sting in a cage match.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Yes I did Jim, you see though, this was when Strange Days. Man whenever I hear those two words together anymore, I get so angry and I can not even begin to describe what goes through my mind. But back to what I was saying, that was when we were still together, and as I said earlier, and many times, Raven held me down when we were together, always wanting to go after the tag team titles, never wanting to go for singles gold because he knew that I was capable of going further than him in a singles career, so he tried to hold me down. And the little plan of his worked, and as soon as we break up what happens? Open doors for Chris Benoit, I have been winning matches and I have been almost unstopable. And he knows this. And now, for some reason, Raven gets given a shot at being number one contender for IC Title? What the hell is up with this? And what the hell is up with Austin getting a shot at it? The only title I can see Austin winning is a beer drinking one, because he sure as hell does not have what it takes to win this match. Back to your question though Jim, when that match happened, Raven screwed me out of the title and caused me my shot. And I will never forgive him for that.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Well it appears to me, that even though you and Raven have gone your seperate ways, and you guys are no longer tag team champions, you still have a strong hatred for him.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Your damn right I do Jim. After all that he did to me, attacking me from behind knowing it was the only way he could beat me in any ways. Attacking me while in matches while we were teaming. Just straight up pissing me off time after time. It would be enough to make anyone hate him. And this is a hatred that everytime I see him, and everytime I get into the ring with him, I will be taking it all out on him, bit by bit. I could face him for a week straight and still not be rid of all the anger and hatred, because it will always be there against him. I will always fell like this towards Raven. And there is nothing that will ever be able to be done to help it.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Chris, in your match on Monday, if Raven is all that you focus on, you might find yourself on the recieving end of a stunner and be beaten by The Rattlesnake, who might just sit back and watch you and Raven go at it and strike when the time is right.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Well Stone Cold can go ahead and do that, he can try and win the match like that, but it aint gonna happen. Now Jim, I know you are a smart man, I want you to think about this as I say it. Think of the food chain now. We have a Raven, a Rattlesnake and a Wolverine all together, now which one of these is more vicious? Which one of these is higher up on the food chain? And which one of these is smarter? Jim I know you know the answer to this one. The Wolverine is smarter, more vicious and higher on the food chain than The Raven and The Rattlesnake. And hell, a Rabid Wolverine is even more dangerous. And that is exactly what I am, and I am going to make sure that Raven and Stone Cold find that out on Monday night.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Chris, you do have to realize that both Raven and Stone Cold can be very dangerous, ecspecially Stone Cold.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Oh I am aware that once in a blue moon Stone Cold can actually muster up enough will power to put down his beer and actually wrestle for a few minutes before going and getting his beer again, and that Raven loves to be hardcore. Well I can wait until Stone Cold goes and puts tha beer down and than take him out, because I am the best damn technical wrestler in The XWF and I dont even need that long to take him out. And for Raven, after being hardcore champ for those cuple times, for about a month, I know exactly what he likes and let me just say to him, I know exactly what it takes to be hardcore, and I can handle it just as much as him. And if he wants to bring weapons into our match, then so be it, because I will be glad to bash his head in with whatever he gives me to. And I will do the same to Stone Cold too.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Well I can see that you are indeed ready for your match. Now Trish, I have a couple questions for you. What exactly are your plans here in The XWF?
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus:Jim, my plans here in The XWF are simple, I am here to strengthen The Womens division and actually make them make a title for me because it is obvious that I am the only women in The XWF that deserves it. No matter who else is in. And in doing that I will deliver 100% Pure Stratusfaction.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Well you covered it all right there, now Chris, have you anything else to say before we are done?
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Ya, one more thing. You are friends with Stone Cold right??
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Yes I am.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Well Jim, I want you to do me a favour. I want you to deliver a personal message to Stone Cold for me.
'Good Ol JR' Jim Ross:Okay, what is it?
Chris Benoit stands up and Jim Ross gets a little jumpy as Chris extends his hand. He shakes his hand. Jim Ross stands up and Chris Benoit immedietly grabs him and puts him in The Crippler Crossface and locks it in tight. JR starts screaming and Chris lets go after about a minute. He looks down ar JR gets down on his knees and tells him something.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:I want you to make sure that you tell Stone Cold that is exactly what is going to happen to him on Raw when I get in the ring with him. I want you to be very clear when you tell him that because if I find out you did not tell him then I am going to have to come and find you and do this to you again. And I am pretty sure you would rather have Stone Cold suffer this than you have to suffer it again and again, because I will come back and make you suffer if you do not give him that message. Oh ya, and make sure Raven sees this little interview too, because I want him to take careful mark of my words because he knows that everyone of them are trues, and he knows that everything i said is true no matter how much he denies it. And tell them both to try and PROVE ME WRONG. Make sure you tell them that too Jim, or I will be back to make you suffer.
With that Chris Benoit gets back up and looks at Trish and they walk away while shes is talking to him.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus:Chris, what the hell was that all about?
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:I was just sending out a message to Stone Cold and Raven.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus:And that was the only way to do it???
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit:Well Trish, think of it this way, I needed to make an example out of someone, I couldnt of the cameraman or it would not have been taped, so it was either Jim Ross... or you, and if you think about it that way I am pretty sure that you are happy I did that to JR now.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus:Better him than me.
With that they walk of of the door and dissappear from the cameramans view and they can not be heard anymore as the cameraman looks back over at JR who is still lying there holding his arm as the scene cuts out to static.
