|::|Finally, Wrestlemania has come and gone, and what a night it was, we saw the crowning of new champions and the defending of titles by current champions. Chris Jericho finally lost his first match since coming to The XWF to one RVD who is now the new XWF World Champion, HHH won his match by defeating Christian, Batista and Nathan Jones in one hell of a spectacle. Strange Days retained their Tag Titles against Goldust and Jerry Lynn seeing as Sabu was injured. However even though Wrestlemania was one of the biggest events The XWF has ever experienced, the 'Backlash' is all yet to come with Backlash being the next PPV Title, it is ever so fitting for what shall be happening in The XWF in the days to come. And with Smackdown set to be another explosive night with matches such as Strange Days facing the team of the new XWF Champion RVD and Batista, Mike Sanders will defend his TV Title againts HBK in a Submission Match, and in the main event we will see Steve Austin team up with a returning Jeff Hardy to take on Kurt Angle and the newly crowned IC Champ HHH. What chocking events and revelations will occur on Smackdown this week as it is the first event following Wrestlemania? Tune in as always to find out.

And this time the scene cuts in to a dark room where one Raven is sitting there contemplating many aspects of life and whatnot.


(Wrestlemanina!! Let me say what an event it was. From an insiders view of the show it was quite possibly the greatest night to be in the XWF. As every single XWF superstar put everything they had out on the line and I applaud everyone for their participation, and I thank everyone involved in Wrestlemania for making it so great. It will go down in history as the XWF’s single greatest show ever. But now business is set to pick up right where it left off, as most of the XWF is set to return to it’s normal action on the next edition of XWF Smackdown live from Seattle. Many matches will be on the card, but a match that has caught the mind of the Tag Team site is the Strange Days taking on Rob Van Dam and Dave Batista in a non-title ECW Rules Match. What a match it will be, three out of the four are former ECW superstars so they should tear down the house in Seattle, in what is being called the aftermath of Wrestlemania. So XWF lets continue our greatness and keep this run that we have been on going. The scene opens as Raven is sitting in his locker room, the door opens up and he is shown to be sitting against the back of the wall in a darkened room with only candles lit, Raven has his Tag Team Title sitting on the table right next to him. Raven looks up and then begins to talk.)

Raven: It’s a lullaby for the new world. People come, people go, people rot in their own cages. It’s a happy day in the world, President Bush is going to finally defeat the nation of Iraq, the month of April has begun. It’s a day full of surprises, it’s a day full of nothingness. But when this day is all set and done, what will be accomplished. What do you expect to be accomplished, well if you hope for the best you get what is the best. But a game is being all planned out, the beginning of the end of the game is almost here though. Once you begin to play the game you get one chance to win, and if you don’t then your chance just passes you over like seconds on cake. But its fun to laugh, I don’t know if you knew this fact but I guess you actually burn calories laughing. But then again what are facts supposed to be for, they are just re-wrote all the time. Just like record books. They are all just phony, just like the fake people in the world. They act all tough on the outside but inside they are just like everyone else, they feel pain, just like me. See this little circle of life in the end comes back to the man who started the whole process. When the process does evolve back to the starting place, you see the agony on the face of the man who it first hurt. Nine Inch Nails created a song with the name "Hurt" which can at times describe your pain. But so don’t many other items and things in life. But now for that out of the way, it is time for me to once again to show my frustration in the XWF. Firstly on my agenda, when you on a tag team running around talking about how good they are and when they step up against us in the clutch at Wrestlemania, faint under pressure. Yes I am talking about Team Fonzie, leading into Wrestlemania. Sabu and Goldust thought they actually would give us a challenge. But when it was time to show what you had you buckled under the pressure. Or well you could say it as, Chris and myself played a little prank on you. Not going 100 percent leading into Wrestlemania and when the time came we put everything we had to the test. So now that you know you can’t beat us, if you would step off that top barrier and let some other unworthy Tag Team step up. Because Chris and myself have proven that we are simply the best Tag Team in the history of the XWF, we don’t need to prove it anymore. But we are up for any challenges. So that is why we accepted the challenge from Batista and newly crowned XWF World Champion Rob Van Dam.

(With that a knock is heard on the door of Raven’s locker room. Raven tells the man to enter and when the door swings open it is Raven’s teammate Chris Benoit. Benoit looks at Raven and then he begins his descend of talking.

Chris: Raven I was just sitting watching the monitor and I was wondering on what the hell you were saying. Talking about the process of life, the circle of life. You have been watching the Lion King way to many ties. But like you said, no one in the XWF can defeat us and we really don’t need to prove anything else in the XWF. We have beaten every Tag Team that has been thrown at us, Dudley Boys, Team Fonzie, the Power Trip, and so many others whom have just been brought in to be shut up. ECW Rules this Thursday Raven, Batista and RVD. But this Thursday we will once again prove why we are the XWF World Tag Team Champions.

Raven: You made a good point Chris. I almost forgot about it being a ECW Rules match. Which in my mind fits into our hand, it in my mind doesn’t matter what Rob Van Dam says. He may be Mr. Monday Night, but see that doesn’t matter really. Because Smackdown is Thursday, so see Rob we are going to pick you apart. You still say that you are ECW, that you were ECW 4 life. Well I guess we finally do find out whether or not you kept the ECW background with your name. Sure, you did hold the ECW Television Title for 23 months, but at this time that means a whole lot of nothing to me. Because Rob, you could say you catapulted your career after holding the ECW Television Title for that long time. You go from being a no one in wrestling to be one of the most talked about athletes still in wrestling today. And now look at you today, a two time XWF World Champion and a XWF Hall of Fame member. I have to commend you on those two things, because well Rob I can’t say that I have accomplished either one of those yet. So it seems as though I may have had the more successful ECW career, but that doesn’t necessarily carry over to the XWF where your career has surpassed mine a long time ago. But I continue to try. But what I have been trying to say, is what I have been saying all along. If you don’t look down, it will all go away. But Rob, that is what will happen to you. You will look down and it will blow up in your face. You will soon find out that everything isn’t "cool" like you say it is, we all won’t be your "dudes". You will realize someday when your all blown away from the Raven Effect.

Now onto the other causality to be stepping in the way of Strange Days on Thursday. Dave Batista, you will act as the road block standing in my way this Thursday because look at you, I guess you have earned the name "Genetic Freak" with what you have and haven’t done here in the XWF. See I ask you, where the hell were you when I was in one of the most brutal XWF matches, a first blood match against my teammate Chris Benoit. Where were you when I crucified Eddie Guererro, where were you when I was screwed by Randy Orton and the Intercontinental Title Tournament at Summerslam. I didn’t think so. So Batista when you claim to be as good as you are come out and step up against me. I may not be a "Genetic Freak" or whatever else you claim to be, but see I am a manipulator, I can play mind games with you and that is my attention. Get inside your head make you believe things that you aren’t thinking, put beliefs in your head that you don’t believe. I will be like the man who is reaching in your back pocket and taking your money when no one is paying attention. I will be the man who slaps you when you down, hell I will be the man to kick you in the balls when your arms are tied behind your back. And Batista, I can guarantee to you now that Strange Days will teach you a hard lesson of respect this Thursday on Smackdown. It will be a tough lesson to learn, I will bring you back to school, I will be the teacher, you the pupil. And to tell you the truth, detention will be worse then hell. I will be your preacher, you will be victim, I will destroy you. And for Rob, Batista and all the fans. From the bottom of my heart, Blow Me. Welcome to Raven’s Clockwork Orange House of Fun. Quote the Raven, Nevermore.

(Raven stands up and grabs his Tag Team Title. He does a crucifix pose as the boos from the fans can be heard loudly throughout the arena as the XWF-Tron was showing the interview. Show fades to commercial.)


The scene cuts back in from a commercial break where Chris Benoit is seen leaving Ravens locker room and walks down the hall of the arena. He continues to walk for a few minutes until he finaly reaches his own locker room, he opens the door and walks in and goes to shut it but just as he does that annoying little bastard Micheal Cole comes running in and gets the door slammed prscticly right in his face for his efforts. Luckily for him Chris notices in time and stops the door and Micheal gets all relieved and looks around until Chris freaks out.

Chris Benoit: Okay Micheal, what the hell is it that you want this time?

Micheal Cole: Oh nothing, just wondering how my favourite XWF Superstar is doing.

Chris Benoit: Allright Micheal, dont you start bullshitting me, I know you dont mean a damn word of what you just said so why dont you just get it over with and ask me the damn questions cuz I can tell there is no way Im gonna get rid of you otherwise.

Micheal Cole: No Chris, you got it all wrong, this time I dont want an interview, I came to give you a message.

Chris Benoit: From who and what is it?

Micheal Cole: Its from Mikey, he said he wants to meet you in the parking lot in 10 minutes.

Chris Benoit: Micheal, can I ask you an honest question?

Micheal Cole: Sure...

Chris Benoit: Okay, well why the hell would you try and insult my intelligence like that?

Micheal Cole: I have no idea what you are talking about... I just spoke to Mikey and he wanted you to meet him by the parking lot.

Chris Benoit: And I for one know that is a pile of shit because I just talked to Mikey on the phone not 10 minutes ago and hes on his way to the arena as we speak, so why dont you tell me who the hell put you up to this?

Micheal Cole: No one, I swear I talked to him not 5 minutes ago in front of RVD's locker room.

Chris Benoit: Well that would explain it then, you must be the dumbest idiot I have ever set my eyes on, you know that Micheal? You make a god damn snail seem like a genious.

As Chris says this there is a sudden knock on the door, Chris yells to come in and it is none other than Mikey Whipwreck.

Chris Benoit: Well speak of the devil, we were just talking about you Mikey.

Mikey Whipwreck: Really, what you guys say?

Chris Benoit: Oh nothing much, but our good friend Micheal here insists that he just talked to you a few minutes ago out in the halls, is this true?

Mikey Whipwreck: Of course its not, I was on my way here, heck I just got here not even two minutes ago, so how the hell could that be possible?

Chris Benoit: I dunno Mikey, how about we ask our good friend Micheal how he did it.

Mikey Whipwreck: Now that, would be a great idea, so how about it Micheal, how did you pull off talking to me when I wasnt even here?

Micheal Cole: Well.. er... um...

Chris Benoit: Now correct me if Im wrong, but those sound like the words of a men who has no idea what the hell he has got himself into, so unless you plan on getting the worst ass kicking of your life, the I suggest you get the hell out of my locker room now!

With that Micheal Cole jumps up and damn near runs right out of Chris's locker room and closes the door behind him, the camera man stays in there and Chris starts to talk to Mikey.

Mikey Whipwreck: Well Chris, so how does it feel?

Chris Benoit: How does what feel?

Mikey Whipwreck: Oh you know what I mean, you went into Wrestlemania and kicked some major ass, how did it feel?

Chris Benoit: Oh hell Mikey, thats not the first time Ive gone into XWF Wrestlemania and won, hell in the first one I beat Jeff Jarret with the greatest of ease and this one I beat the living hell out of Goldust and Jerry Lynn with the same ease. Hell, its all beggining to get to be one hell of a big bore to me, Im beating everyone that has been put in front of me and Im still stuck as a mid card wrestler, but finally I get to showcase my true talents this week on Smackdown when myself and Raven get to face RVD and Batista in a match that the advantage shall come easily to us. 3 out of the 4 men in this match are former ECW'ers, and two of those three are on Strange Days, so the advantage clearly comes to us in this match, not that it matters to anyone else, everyone always has to go with the biggest stars to win, when they know for a fact that if Chris Benoit is in the ring for a match, Chris Benoit will have his arm rasied victoriously by the end of that very match, its a fact of life here in The XWF, a simple fact of life.

Mikey Whipwreck: Right... So anyways, Im taking it your ready for your match on Smackdown.

Chris Benoit: Mikey, when have you ever known me, The Crippler, The Best Damn Technical Wrestler in the world to ever not be ready for a match before it happens? Im always ready to go out to the ring and kick some ass and show just what Im made of and show why I am one half of The XWF Tag Team Champions. Sure, I may be going into the ring with The XWF Champion, but hell, this is the best thing that could happen to Strange Days right now, we get to show the whole of the world that we are better than everyone else, and there is no better way to prove that than to beat The XWF Champion himself, am I right or am I right?

Mikey Whipwreck: Well I could say you are wrong, but then I'd be lying thorugh my teeth. Anyways, theres been word going around backstage that RVD and Batista think they allready got this match wrapped up.

' Chris Benoit: Well let them think that all they want, because the fact of the matter is that its not over till its over, and even though I stand back here oozing confidence, once I get in that ring its all business, I will never go into that ring knowing I am going to win, and I never go in there overconfident, sure what I say back here may be different, but when its time to get into the ring, its time to get your game face on, and when your over confident in the ring, especially against someone like myself, then all it shall do is lead to your early demise. And that my friend, is nothing but the truth.

Mikey Whipwreck: Truth and lies aside, how do you actually think you can win this match? No offense Chris, but Rob is coming off one of his biggest wins ever.

Chris Benoit: Then that makes this the best time to strike, strike well the iron is hot Mikey, strike while the iron is hot, and that is exactly what I am going to do, you see, Rob is walking around all confident carrying that title like hes the best thing since sliced bread, well the thing is, that win over Chris Jericho and that title hes carrying around with him, that is his downfall, that is what shall make him just another Strange victim to Chris and Raven. Think of it this way Mikey, would you be more confident if you came out of losing a match against a great Champion like Chris and looking for redemption for losing your one chance at greatness, or would you be more confident if you were the first to beat him and wlak out with his title. Personally a loss would be all the better because that would be what makes you want to win even more, when you have the title you know you are the best in the business and you think that no one can beat you, and that my friend is what is wrong with Rob right now, hes too damn confident.

With Chris finnishing up saying that in out of nowhere walks Raven carrying his tag team title on his shoulder, he throws it on the couch beside Chris's and sits down beside them and grabs the remote and turns on the tv.

Raven: Hey, hope you dont mind if I come and watch TV in here, my TV somehow got... smashed up so Im waiting for a new one.

Chris Benoit: Whatever, just dont turn it up too loud, I dont feel like havinmg to put up with talking over a damn tv right now.

Raven: Okay, by the way, you ready for our match?

Chris Benoit: God damn it, when will people learn? I give you all the same damn answer everytime you ask me if Im ready for a match, I say the same things over again, and Im starting to feel like a broken record! When the hell are people going to learn that asking that same fricken question is totally irrelevant to anything? Its starting to really piss me right the hell off.

Raven: Damn man, calm down, calm down, I was only asking a question.

Chris Benoit: Ya, well anyways, Im gonna head out to the ring and vent my thoughts, aint done that for a hell of a long time now.

With that Chris gets up and walks out of the locker room leaving Raven to watch some TV, he is followed by Mikey who trails quickly behind Chris. While they are walking through the halls they see everyone setting everything up for later in the night and they are approached by Marc Loyd.

Marc Loyd: Excuse me Chris... Chris, could I get a few words with you about tonights match?

Chris Benoit: And what if I dont feel like giving you a few words on tonights match? What are you going to do? Just go and find someone elese to pis off and bug and try to get some stupid interview out of? Its the same story week in and week out, you just try to get an interview out of anyone who will have the patience to stand here and listen to you ask totally assanine questions, and hell, Im sick and tired of it, so the next time you come up to me and ask me if you can ask me a few questions, that one question you ask, the very first one, shall be the last one you ever ask an XWF Superstar, now if you will get the hell out of my way, I got some business to take care of!

Chris pushes Marc aside and keeps walking, he reaches the beggining of the rampway that is covered by all the curtains. He tells the tehnicians to hit his music but he refuses to as their is a dark match currently going on, Chris doesnt seem to care and grabs the guy by the neck and forces him to hit his music. He does and all of a sudden all everyone in the arena can hear is Chris Benoit's theme music as he appears at the top of the ramp with his arms crossed. He then walks down to the ring, kicks the hell out of the people in there and grabs a mic and starts to talk.

Chris Benoit: Well, what a treat for al of you here in attendance, you get to be the first crowd in who knows how long who gets to hear some random thoughts from Chris Benoit, so sit back and consider yourselves lucky, because your lives have just been made a bit better, by The Crippler. Now what you just saw me do to those young promising XWF Superstars is nothing that no one else would have done, and it is nothing but a simple example of what is yet to come tonight from The Crippler. You see, tonight I finally get a chance to show the whole world exactly what I am made of and exactly why I am what I say I am, and that is The Best Damn Technical Wrestler in The XWF... Hell in the world. And it has been a proven fact, I have beat damn near every person who has been put in front of me in The XWF one way or another, and that is something that I dont see ending anytime soon. Its quite simple actually if you think about it, The XWF has held me down in the past, trying to force me into oblivion, but everytime they send me a challange, I come out victorious and stronger than I ever was.

Chris Benoit: However they never seme to learn their lesson, they always seem to keep sending people to keep me down without letting the public know it, but just why the hell would they give me some of the matches they give me if they werent out to get me? Its utterly ridiculous and Ive finally had enough of it. Now tonight I finally get to show everyone how good I am when I will make the world champion of The XWF scream like a pig until he taps, taps out to MY Crossface, MY move, MY very own submission, a move I have mastered just like he has The Frog Splash, just like Raven has The DDT. And mastery shall come in many forms tonight in this match, when I beat the hell out of RVD I will master my own destiny here in The XWF by showing to the world that I can be a top contender for The World Title and that I can, with the greatest of ease defeat the man who is supposed ot be the best this business can offer, but if you ask my its blatantly ridicuous because the champs always only defend against those who they see fit to deserve a shot, and those are always the people they know have no chance in hell of ever defeating them.
