Don't be Late...

What happened to the Old School Matches???


He seems to be getting accustomed to the Tag Team Division. First match, Tag match and he won the titles. Second match, a six man tag with Saint Steve and Mr. Late Nite against DX. Third match at the first PPV of the Millenium against Scarab and Dracos. Damn that's amazing. If he can do great in the Tag Ranks...imagine what he could do in singles competition...
Jim Ross: Ladies and Gentlemen, we've got ourselves set tonight. The Royal Rumble match is going to take place, but as a special treat for you fans, we've got a match featuring a member from the DRWF and our very own Hardcore Holly.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: Heh...talk about contrasting styles! Hardcore...well he's Hardcore, and Seth Calvert his opponent is a Old School Technical Wrestler!

"How Do You Like Me?", Hardcore Holly's theme plays as "The Big Shot" himself comes out with a microphone in hand. He speaks as he walks down to the ring.

Hardcore Holly: I know. Some of you have been wondering. Why're you out here Bob if you're gonna be in the Rumble tonight? Why're you gonna go face someone if you wanna win the Rumble? The simple reason is this. Half of them wrestlers in the back don't give me respect. They don't think I can measure up to their status. They don't...

Suddenly, "Degeneration X The Final Mix" plays unexpectedly.

JR: What in the hell? Hardcore's opponent is supposed to be Seth Calvert, not a DX member...oh would you look at this?

Mr. Late Nite and Seth Calvert have come out...dressed as HBK and Enforcer respectively. "The Enforcer" Seth Calvert has a microphone in his hands.

Seth Calvert(imitating Enforcer): It could be Bobby, that no one in the back gives a damn. But they'll care tomorrow. No, not about you! About me! And they'll cry and cry. Not because Seth and Mr. Late Nite lost the titles, because that won't happen. They'll cry because we'll come out! They'll be in tears, because they're tired of seeing the same two wrestlers, me and HBK, out here all the time. And I'm tired of it too! I'm tired of losing! I'm tired of being put down by everyone because I'm too old for my own safety!

So I prayed. I prayed today! And today, I prayed. Yes I prayed that God would help me control my temper. I prayed for him to not let me get overworked...because God knows if that happens, I'm gonna get a heartattack in the middle of the ring. I prayed that my blood pressure wouldn't rise over the average limit so as not to have to sit down in the middle of the match. I'll just come out here tomorrow, and along with HBK and this mystery person I'll wrap my abnormally large hand around your throat and I'll lift you up! And afterwards, I'll more than likely collapse from lifting the wrong way. HBK? You Got anything you'd like to say?

Mr. Late Nite: Oh you damn better believe that I do! The Sheriff's in town tonight! And yes, that means that the Heartbreak Kid's gonna kick up on the couch, watch the Rumble, and grab a pizza and a bottle of Gas-X! And tomorrow, I could be gone from this federation forever! At least, that's what I'll say before coming back on Television two weeks later saying it was "all part of a master plot!" But tomorrow, it just may come true! All this arthritis, and migraines, and sick...haha...DEGENERATIVE diseases...you may never see me again! Because! I'm Shawn Michaels...the person who's been around...and around...and around again! I've pretty much done it all! And now it's time. Time to go home...for good! But first I need to drop this DRWF Title...but to who? I definitely won't face Mr. Late Nite in a singles match...*At this point, MLN takes off his 'guise, appearing as MLN again, and Calvert does the same* Why won't he? BECAUSE HE'S ONE...GIGANTIC...DEGENERATIVE...OVER THE HILL...EXPIRED...DUMBASS...LARGE...CHICKEN SHIT! Oh hell yeah, you heard me right. Shawn, you ain't nothin' but a Chicken Shit...Yeah, "Mr. Late Nite isn't in my leauge. Mr. Late Nite can't hold a candle to me. Mr. Late Nite doesn't deserve to be in the DRWF!" Why is it then, that tomorrow, I'm stepping in the same ring as you. Why is it, you're willing to go toe to toe with me in Gauntlet Matches, Tag Team Matches, and other "Stipulation" ridden matches? Why is it you won't give me my title shot? Aside from the fact that there's a line - which makes me wonder...why step in the ring with Myzery? You don't think he's your league. Sure, there was a stipulation...but hell, you've been Corporate Asskissing for so long, you coulda pulled some strings. We all know you don't want to go into that ring against Myzery. No, it's not because you don't want to ruin your reputation of going in there with "top talent". It's because you're chickenshit of bein' beat up by him!

Seth Calvert: Don't hide it Shawn. Tomorrow, when you bring a "mystery" partner to the ring, we ain't gonna be surprised at who it is. It might be that Whole F'n Ass, Rob Van Dam. It could be that Slutty Whore you call a wife. And it definitely won't be a surprise if it's Marty Jannety. But know that tomorrow, when you and Enforcer go against me and Late Nite...it won't be a repeat of Last Time. No dumbasses, I didn't mean we won't win...I'm saying that you won't get to Chokeslam us...you won't get to run roughshod over us. And there won't be a Triple H to save us...at least we don't think so. And with Saint Steve there...we're just gonna have to chalk up another one for Late Nite Productions. And as for you Bob Holly...it's go time!

Seth drops the mic, runs for the ring and the bell starts. Hardcore attempts a shot with his Metal-jacked forearm, but Seth ducks. He lands an Elevated Dropkick on Hardcore. *two minutes later* Hardcore has dominated for the last minute or so. And now he's setting up our Old School Hero for the Hollycaust. As he lifts him up, Seth twists in mid-air and catches him in a reverse Chauncery. He screams out "OLD SCHOOL!" and twists around...DISMISSAL! Seth goes for the cover and gets it on Bob. MLN gets in the ring and the two celebrate. (OOC: Sorry for the crappy match...I didn't feel like describing it...)


Backstage...along with Mitchell...sorry, Michael Cole

Michael Cole: I'm here in the hall with the Tag Team Champions. Now, you two have a Title Defense against Vladamire Dracos and Scarab. What do you have to say?

Seth Calvert: These two are great. Sure, they've got that common dark edge to them, but everyone's gotta start somewhere. At Kuruption, I'm hoping to have a great match with these two. I've seen their work before, and I'll say that these two are definitely worth opponents.

Mr. Late Nite: Dracos...Scarab...tomorrow, you step in the ring with the most techincally gifted and wrestling sound people in the business today. You can say HBK and Enforcer were great champs, but damn, they didn't fend too many people off did they? Seth and I are going to defend this belt whenever the challenge so comes. If that means defending against Wiped out trash like DX...or stables like C.O.P.'s, we will defend these belts. Successfully I might add. Success. You have that word Michaels for now. I have it in terms of my Television Extravaganza. But that word came and went for you months ago. You had success last year. You had> success when you joined DX. Speaking of which...you've certainly decreased in numbers. You went from what? Ten or so? To Three? And one of your own is with Late Nite Productions now. Saint Steve. You'll have your revenge tomorrow? Revenge from what? Us beating you? It's not like we killed someone in your family. We didn't even pin you for Chrissake. And Triple H is the one that cost you the title. Is it you want revenge for interceding on your career here? You said it's for Taking your Tag Belts. Hell, you're the guys that put them up on the line. You didn't want to lose them? You shouldn't have put them up against us. Right right right...you didn't want to 'scar' your reputation of not backing out from a challenge. Nonetheless pal, these are ours now.

Seth Calvert: My fault? My fault I took your belts? No, later you corrected yourself. Yeah...I do call him Triple H...what do you call him? Jean Paul Levesque? Triple H does happen to be his in ring personality. And you say I don't know my way around the ring? I can find my way around that squared circle better than you can find your way around your mother. And that's saying a lot. You say you're going to make me submit with your cheapass ripoff of the Sharpshooter? Stealing that move from the great Bret "The Hitman" Hart. How cheap is that. And the thing is, you didn't apply the damn thing right last time. You apply it like The British Bulldog. Crappy...horrible. Sure....still a painful hold, but I'll bet you anything...if it had been Hart himself, I'd have tapped out immediately. But no, you cheap ass poor excuse for a wrestler! And don't you come back telling me about my quote unquote, "imitation" of Steve Corino. He's my idol. I know that you damn sure didn't idolize Bret Hart...sure you two were friends before. And about Saint Steve. He's a damn good guy too. He didn't have 39 damn wins in a row, but he was the Champ. And a good one at that. A better one than you'll ever be that's for sure. He'll prove that to you tomorrow. As for your match at Kuruption...good goddamn luck. But tomorrow...in that ring, we'll see who the hell is going to be the better wrestler. And you don't prove that by using weapons, chairs, bats, graters. You prove that by...ha, get this WRESTLING. Class is now Dismissed Shawn. Tomorrow, your Test begins.

Seth reaches inside the locker room behind them, grabs both his and Late Nite's bags, and they head out for the DRWF arena. Tomorrow they face HBK, Enforcer, and a mystery partner along with Ex-DRWF Champ Saint Steve. Who'll come out on top? Tune in tomorrow!!!!!
