The scene opens up with 'The Crippler' Chris Benoit and Trish Stratus sitting there in a
dressing room of some sorts on Thursday afternoon, a few hours before the final XWF Smackdown is about to take
place. And on this night Chris Benoit will take on none other than his former tag team partner and now long standing
enemy one more time. However this is the match to end any fued right in its tracks, or this match can only propel it
even more. The hopes of the commisioner is that it will calm these two mens feelings down. It started again after they
both lost to Stone Cold Steve Austin on Raw and Benoit was about to take his angers out on Raven who got pinned
and cost him his shot at Kurt Angle. Chris Benoit can however not wait for this match to happen so he can finally
make Raven suffer like he had planned before but could not in a normal match. At the moment Chris Benoit is sitting
in a dressing room with Trish Stratus who has no idea why they are there. She is about to find out though.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus: Chris, its only a few hours before Smackdown and your
big match with Raven, why are we here? Shouldnt we be at the arena getting ready for your match?
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: Trish, if you would just hold your horses and wait, you
will find out what we are doing here, in case you have not noticed I have brought a couple XWF Cameramen here,
what we are going to do here, just because you are too damn impatient to find out. Is I am going to show Raven
exactly what will happen tonight when The Wolverine goes one on one with him. And it will not be a pretty sight I
can guarantee you that, just like I guarantee a win over him tonight just like every other time we go one on one in that
ring.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus: Well what exactly do you plan on doing out there?
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: As you may have noticed, we came to an abandoned
warehouse, somewhere no one knows where ti is, or what it is from the outside. I, however do, and what I plan on
doing out there when we go out there is pitting a Wolverine against a Raven to show Raven exactly what happens in
the real world when these two animals go at it. And I can promise you that he will be seeing this before our match just
to show him he has no chance of winning.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus: But Chris, thats cruelty to animals isnt it?
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: You may consider it cruelty to animals Trish, but what I
consider it, is I am giving one of these animals a meal and the other, just because it is so weak deserves to perish and
be destroyed by the other one, just like will happen later tonight when I get into that ring. And Trish, you and me both
know which of the two animals will come out on top when I put them in a cage together and let them loose. And if
you don’t like it you can just stay in this room while I do it because there is no chance in hell that I am not going to
do this, I went through all the trouble to get my hands on a Wolverine and a Raven and I am not going to just let all
that go in vein, I am going to go through with this and you cant stop me as much as you don’t like it. As far as you
are concerned, you can wait here, you can go back to the hotel, you can go to the arena and get ready or you can
come out with me, because you are not needed. So its all up to you Trish. But everything out there is almost ready, so
you better make your mind up soon or Im going out there without you.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus: Well if thats the case then I am just going to go back to
the arena and get ready. If anyone asks where you are I will tell them you will be there in time for Smackdown, okay?
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: Oh ya, and make sure you find Raven and wish him good
luck for me in our match, because he sure as hell is going to need it once I get my hands on him and make him bleed
like the son of a bitch that he is. He is going to need all the luck in the world once he steps foot in that ring with me
tonight because he knows what is in store for him after all he has done to me. He knows exactly what he can expect
from me tonight, and he knows that it is all his fault, he brought it on himself, and I am just going to sit there laughing
when he is lying there in the ring, after the bell rings and the ref raises my hand, and he is getting carried out of the
ring by EMT's because he will be unable to walk on his own.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus: Okay Chris.
With that Trish Stratus gets up and walks out of the room and Chris Benoit just sits there
for a few minutes afterwards and then someone pops their head and tells Chris Benoit that it is all ready and they are
ready to do it whenever he is. Chris Benoit nods his head as the person closes the door and Chris Benoit sits there for
a couple of minutes and then gets up and walks out with The XWF Cameramen following him out of the room. When
he gets out in the main part of the warehouse he looks around and sees one big cage in the middle and then two other
cages beside it with animal noises coming out of them. He walks over to the cages and looks in and sees a Raven in
one and a Wolverine in the other one. He gets a grin on his face as he looks at them both and they both seem very
vicious and ready to attack the other. All of a sudden someone talks to Chris Benoit.
Helper: Okay Chris, as you can see we got both of the animals just as you asked for, and
whenever you are ready we will put them both into the cage and you can see which one is stronger. But I don’t see
what the purpose of putting them in there to find this out is.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: Look, I already know exactly what is going to happen
when we put those two in there, but you see, I am doing this to prove a point and prove a point is what I am going to
do. Now put The Raven in there first.
With that the helper goes and grabs the cage with the Raven and then carefully brings it to
the cage door and puts the Raven in there and closes the door immediately and The Raven starts cawing a lot and
flying around and going crazy.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: What a pathetic little animal that Raven is. Now Raven, I
hope you are watching this carefully, a pathetic animal, a pathetic wrestler, there is a similarity between you and the
real thing. And I hope you know that after this is all said and done and I put the Wolverine in the cage, there will be
another similarity between you and the bird. You will both be bleeding and there will be nothing there can be done
about it. Now put the damn Wolverine in there!
With that the helper goes and gets the Wolverine and brings the cage over to the big cage
where The Raven is in. A couple of people help as they carefully get The Wolverine in there without letting The
Raven out and without letting The Wolverine get loose. When it is in there Chris Benoit gets a big smile on his face
and then looks over at the cage intently without moving an inch. He just stares in there as The Wolverine and The
Raven stare each other down and make noises at each other until The Wolverine slowly walks over to The Raven as
The Raven tries to avoid it, but The Wolverine is able to jump the same height that The Wolverine is hovering and
snags it out of the air with one of its paws and then starts batting it around savagely as Chris Benoit starts to laugh
and keeps staring at it. All of a sudden The Wolverine starts to savagely gnaw The Raven in its mouth and starts to
swing it around as The Raven caws and you can actually see blood from The Raven splattering all over the place as
Chris Benoit gets a smile on his face and gets a cameraman and brings him beside him so he can hear what Chris is
saying and so Chris can continue to watch The Wolverine decimate The Raven.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: Raven, I hope that when you get your hands on this tape
you watch this little encounter that just happened carefully, I hope you watch it as intently as I just did because that is
exactly what is going to happen tonight when I get in that ring with you. You see Raven, this is the food chain, The
Wolverine is way higher up on the food chain than the lowly Raven, and the same goes for The XWF, The Rabid
Wolverine is more skilled, more powerful, and has had more success in The XWF than you. And the success will
continue tonight when I get in that ring with you and make you bleed more than you ever have before. Just like
happened in this cage right here, I will decimate you the exact same way, and you will be as helpless as this little
Raven was, because in truth Raven, THE RAVEN SUCKS. Be it the bird as we just witnessed, be it you who gets his
ass kicked time after time he challenges The Crippler, so just realize it Raven, realize the fact that you suck. Realize
the fact that you have no chance in hell of winning tonight. And I want you to remember one more thing, before you
get into that ring with me tonight, just think of what happened here in this cage because it is exactly what is going to
happen to you.
With that Chris Benoit is still looking in the cage where The Wolverine is just sitting there
gnawing on the dead carcass of The Raven. Chris just laughs before he turns around and walks away from the cage
and The XWF Cameramen that he brought follow him. He tells them to turn the cameras off for now and they do so
as the scene cuts out to static. When the scene cuts back in Chris Benoit is sitting there in his dressing room at the
arena when the final ever XWF Smackdown is about to take place. It is just starting as Chris Benoit and Trish Stratus
can hear the fireworks and all the people screaming their lungs out. Chris Benoit then looks over at Trish Stratus and
starts to talk to her.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: So Trish, did you go and do those things I asked you to
do?
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus: You mean finding.....
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: You damn well know that is exactly what I am talking
about, now did you??
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus: Yes I did Chris.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: Well you know what to do now don’t you?
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus: I sure do, and don’t worry, I will do it at the right time.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: You do know that if you don’t then you will ruin the
whole reason that I am going to go out there and do this don’t you?
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus: Chris, I know exactly what to do and when to do it, so
don’t worry, I will do it at the right time.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: Okay, good, now I am going to go out there now, and
you better do it at the right time.
With that Chris Benoit leaves the dressing room as the cameraman pans the room before it
follows him and sees a man with his back turned dressed like Raven. The camera stays focused there for a minute until
Chris Benoit's music hits out in the main arena as 'Whatever' is heard blaring and the camera cuts over to Chris Benoit
who is seen making his way down the ramp to the ring. He makes his way to the base of the ring and rolls into the
ring and then stands in the middle for a second before going over to the side of the ring and grabs a mic, he tests it
and it does not work, he freaks and throws it down and then demands another one, he gets another one and tests it
and it works. He then walks over to the middle of the ring and starts to talk.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: Is this not supposed to be the last XWF Smackdown
ever? Is this not supposed to be one of the biggest nights in XWF history? And what goes wrong? I am the first
person to come out here to the ring and speak my mind about it, and what goes wrong? They cant even give me a god
damn mic that works right. Only in The XWF would something like that happen on what is supposed to be their
biggest night ever. That just shows how much The XWF actually cares about the wrestlers who put their bodies on
the line for it night after night after night, it just shows exactly how much Vince McMahon cares for everynone who
comes out who and shed blood and risk breaking bones just to do something that we love. Its things like this that
make me want to get my ass out of The XWF, but what I want you all to realizes that there is no chance in hell that I
am going to leave The XWF at all, there is nothing that can drive me out of here, and there is nothing that will ever
make me change my mind and make me stop loving wrestling. What I want you all to know is that wrestling is my life
and there is nothing that can take it away from me. And tonight, tonight is a night that I prove just how much I have a
love for this business that I lay my life on the line for every night, tonight I will show exactly how much of a hatred I
have for Raven. You see my match tonight is a love-hate match. I am going to prove my love for the business and
prove my hatred for Raven by kicking his ass all over this arena and making him bleed like he has never bled before. I
am going to make him begging for my forgiveness after he realizes what he has done and realizes exactly what The
Crippler is capable of doing. Even though he has already found out enough times in the past when we have gone one
on one. Now I was looking back in the record books. And every time that myself and Raven have met in the past here
in The XWF except for a few days ago on raw, every time that we have been against each other except for tag team
matches, I have kicked his ass and pinned him in the middle of the ring and proving that I am better than him, proving
why I am The Crippler, and why I am known as The Rabid Wolverine, because I have no mercy for anyone, and
tonight, Raven, I will cripple you. Hell Raven, why should we wait for later tonight? Why the hell don’t we get it on
right now? Why don’t you come out to the ring right now and get your ass kicking over with, because you and I both
know that it is going to happen, and I know a way you can make it easier for you Raven, just come out here and just
sit there and let me wail on you until you bleed, because I am sure you would rather that then have to have me beat
your ass all over the arena, because as much as you say you like to suffer and experience pain Raven, what you will
experience tonight would be considered hell even for Mick Foley. And that is a beating that no one else can take. So
Raven, you better be ready, and as it appears that you are not going to be coming out here now to get it over with I
guess I am just going to have to come to the back and get you and drag you out here myself.
With that Chris Benoit keeps his mic in his hand and goes over to the ropes, and as he gets
to the ropes Raven's music hits as an angry caw is heard echoing throughout the arena as he is at the top of the ramp
with his arms out, his head is down, he keeps his head down and lowers his arms and then walks down the ramp and
into the ring, the whole time keeping his head down, when he gets into the ring he grabs the mic from Chris Benoit
and starts to talk but it does not sound like Raven at all, and he raises his head and it is just some guy who is dressed
like Raven
Raven??:Chris, tonight you have gone around ranting about stuff that would bore my
grandmother, and you have been talking about you, all you, but Chris, WHAT ABOUT ME? WHAT ABOUT
RAVEN??
Chris Benoit starts to laugh.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: What about you Raven? Is that your question? Well I ask
the same question? What about you? Who the hell cares about you? And who the hell even wants you here? The only
reason I have called you out to the ring now is so I can kick your ass now and save you the ass kicking that is going
to happen later. I called you out here so you can get the humiliation over with and get your ass out of the arena as
soon as you can because your horrid stench is stinking the whole place up and that is another reason you just deserve
an ass kicking just for that. Enough talk though, Raven, I hope you are ready, because I am about to make you bleed
like you have never bled before and there is nothing that you can do about it because Raven, you are nobody and the
only reason I teamed with you in the first place was because I felt sorry for you, and now that I don’t have to
anymore, why the hell do you think I am doing better now? because you are not holding me back anymore.
With that Chris Benoit takes the mic and smacks the Raven Look alike right in the face with
it and then goes and starts punching him in the head many times until he starts to bleed, he then gets up and goes out
to the side of the ring and gets a chair and brings it in the ring and then smacks the guy in the back with it a few times
and then grabs him and drags him over to the corner of the ring and sits him up and then grabs the chair and swings
and smacks him right in the head as a sickening thud is heard and Chris Benoit just laughs and kicks the person out of
the ring and then goes and gets a new mic and starts to talk again.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: Hey Raven, I hope you were watching that too, because
that bum that I just practicaly killed is suffering the same fat that you are going to suffer later on tonight when you
have to get into the ring with me. You seem this match is supposed to end our little fued, this match is supposed to be
the end of my hatred for you, but I hope you realize that there is no chance in hell that this match will solve anything,
all this will do is just get more of my anger out in the air towards you when I sit there and watch you bleed, that will
be one of the highlights of my XWF Career, sitting there watching you bleed after I use this exact same chair and
smack you in the head with it repeatedly, after I drag your ass all over this arena and show everyone that all you really
are is a bum, just like that other guy who I brought out here, come to think of it, he kinda smelt like you too Raven,
maybe thats because you could both use a bath or a shower, as foreign as it may sound to you, so I hope you are
sitting in the back right now, I hope you are sitting in the back watching and listening to everything that I have said
tonight, because now that you are not at my side dragging me down from bigger things, now that you are not at my
side stopping me from doing bigger things here in The XWF like you did for over three months because you were
afraid I would get bigger than you and that you would once again be a no body. Well raven, you used me to get big,
and the only reason people know who you are now is because you got big off of me, and the fact that you got big off
of me had better never leave your mind, because you know it is thanks to me that you are now a name here in The
XWF. Holding those titles with me for over two months while I carried your ass night after night winning all the
matches with the help of a bum who has no idea how to wrestle or even how to fight. Well I hope that for your sake
you have learned how to fight Raven, and I hope for your sake you have learned a little bit of wrestling the time you
were with me because I am the best damn technical wrestler in the world and tonight I may decide to go technical on
your ass and make sure that you have no chance to win tonight, not that you did anyway.. However if I do that then
there is no one in The XWF who can match my skills, not even Kurt Angle, a man who has Olympic Gold, a man
whos ass I have kicked before in The XWF by getting technical. So Raven, I hope that you are ready for the fight of
your life tonight, because I sure as hell am ready to go out to that ring and show you exactly what I am made of, and
show you exactly why I am known as The Crippler, because tonight, I WILL CRIPPLE YOU. You want attention,
you go around screaming for attention with your cries for help, well you have my attention now, and I am sure you
are regretting all you have done now that you have it because you know that my wrath is something that will never
leave you alone as long as you are in The XWF. So you might as well leave The XWF now Raven because it is going
to follow you wherever you go. And tonight, will not be the end of it Raven, tonight will just be another night where I
get just a little bit of my anger towards you out, and I hope you are ready to bleed, because in this first blood match,
there is no chance I will bleed, you can bring a knife out to the ring, you can bring anything you want out to the ring,
but the fact of the matter is that when we step in that ring you will be the first, and only one to bleed, and I can
guarantee that, and if you think any different, if you think that you can make me bleed first, all I have to say is.
PROVE ME WRONG.
With that Chris Benoit drops the mic, still has his chair in hand and gets out of the ring, the
bum who is beside the ring is just starting to get up and Chris Benoit notices this and smacks him in the head with the
chair and throws The Crippler Crossface on him until officials come out and stop him and send him to the back. When
he gets there he walks by Lillian Garcia who asks him if she can get a few words with him. he reluctantly agrees and
stands there with her waiting for her to ask.
'The Voice' Lillian Garcia: Well Chris, tonight you take on Raven in a first blood match,
and as of late you have been showing a new attitude towards everyone in The XWF, why is this.
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: First off Lillian, you don’t need to go around telling me
who I face and when, I am well aware that tonight I have to get in the ring with that son of a bitch Raven, and second,
why should I have to explain myself to you, or anyone else here in The XWF? I don’t see why I should have to, so
you know what, if you want to find out why someone is doing something don’t ask me because I am not going to
explain my actions to anyone here in The XWF because it is none of your business to why I do anything. If I wanted everyone in The XWF to know why I do anything, if I wanted the whole of the locker room to know why I do anything then I would go out to the ring and tell everyone why I did it, but you see Lillian, I dont want everyone to know why I do anything, if people knew why I did anything then I would not do it, because you see, The Wolverine is an animal of prey, and animals of prey need no motives to do anything, and tonight my prey is Raven, and what a prey he will be. I can not wait till this match takes place, I am just counting the minutes until it happens, because you see Lillian, this will be one of my greatest and happiest moments since joining The XWF when I get to sit back and watch him bleed to death and watch The Raven slowly leave The XWF and have him no more. So I have qouted him enough, and after tonight, the Raven in The XWF, will be nevermore!! Now get out of my way Lillian, I have to go prepare for my match.
With that Chris Benoit pushes Lillian Garcia out of the way and walks to his locker room where Trish Stratus is sitting there. He gets in and sits down and she talks to him.
'The Blond Bombshell' Trish Stratus: Well Chris, did I do good enough?
'The Crippler' Chris Benoit: Trish, you did great. And I just hope that Raven was watching that and was paying close attention to it because that is exactly what I am going to do to him. I am going to take him, and do stuff to him that he has never had done to him, I am going to inflict enourmous amounts of pain into him, I am going to slowly tear him apart and make sure that he is never able to wrestle again here in The XWF, and as much as he says he likes it, as much as he says pain is good to him. After tonight he will not have the same attitude towards it because he sure as hell will know what real pain feels like after I get my hands on him and finally get some revenge the way I want, because normal matches have rules, but tonight there are no rules. And I hope he is ready to lose once again, I hope he is ready to continue to get his ass kicked like he used to befroe he teamed with me, because there is no one to watch his back anymore, and that means he is about to suffer same fate that he did to me. So he better be ready, thats all I have to say. And as for you Mr. Cameraman, get the hell out of my room so I can get ready.
With that Chris Benoit pushes the cameraman out of the room and slams the door. |
