The pyros hit and Shocker is on the air! The cameras pan around the arena showing a full capacity crowd on hand for this XPW Live Event. We can hear the sound of people Chanting "XPW XPW XPW!".We then head down to our commentating team, as usual, Tony Schavonie and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
Tony:Ladies and Gentalmen welcome to XPW Shocker on a special day and very special time. Tonight we will see some fantastic matches. The United States And European titles will both be on the line when Triple H takes on Test.
Brain:Obviously thats a mismatch right there, Test of the Impact players will definetly come out on top over The Shame Triple H of DX. But a favorite of mine is going to have to be when we crown new Tag Team Champions, Big Show and Scott Hall team up to take on Kaientai, and they will blow those two Japanese punk away. Indeed.
Tony:Well (laughs) if you say so Brain. But who can over look the Main event, Scott Steiner is set to be in action tonight up against Tazz for the World Title and it should be a fantastic Match.
Just then on the PA System we hear the music of our Vice President Eric Bischoff as he makes his way out to the ring with a mixed reaction.
Lillian:Please welcome to the ring, the VP Of XPW, Eric Bischoff!
He makes his way up the ramp and into the ring and grabs a microphone as his music dies down. He begins to speak.
Eric Bischoff: Well it sure is good to be here in Baltimore! I just love to finally go somewhere that is as good as This place. I would like to congratulate the Teripans for winning the NCAA Basketball Title, that is a great accomplishment and you should all be proud! But then again, your Football team sucks big time.
The crowd boos!
Eric Bischoff: But Im not here to talk about how much this place sucks or dont suck, Im here to talk about XPW business. Now, nobody knows this, but the other day
Linda McMahon had what doctors thought was a heart attack. Now it has been confirmed that it was not a heart attack, but she is still being watched over by a hospital. Now Shane McMahon has taken the night off, and is spending the night with his mother and Sister Stephanie in the local hospital over in Connecticut. So that means Im runnin' the show!
Eric Bischoff:Now tonight, since I have complete control over Shocker, and all XPW doings, I will be calling all the shots around here tonight. And last week at the end of Shocker Degeneration X was once again formed.
Crowd cheers.
Eric Bischoff: Well tonight they are going to have to pay for their wrong doings from last week. Shawn Michaels had no meaning in the ring and now he must be punished. Shawn, tonight you are suspended! You are going to have to learn to not do the wrong things any longer boy, and now it looks like you are finished. But your probably back there pissed off now at me, wondering what happens to your Tournament Match? Well i say to hell with it! As for your opponent the Undertaker, HE IS FIRED!
Tony:WHAT? Fired? Oh my god! What is going on with Bischoff???
Eric Bischoff: Yea thats right! FIRED! He put his hands on me two weeks ago and chokeslamed me down to this very mat! I almost had a broken neck because of him. So Shawn too bad because it looks like now, you are out of the World Title Number one contender tournament. Oh yea, if your not down with that, i Got two Words For ya...
Then on the PA System We Hear..
Out comes Triple H, Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels! The crowd cheers as they make their way into the ring. The music slowly dies down as HBK is on the mic.
HBK:Look Mr. Bischoff, why dont you take your little suspension, and SHOVE IT! Because i didnt get a damn match last week because Stone Cold couldnt make it, and I got a free ride to the next level. Are you telling me that tonight, I cant wrestle, and Im out of the tournament? I say to hell with that! I think you had better rethink that suspension or we will make you, DX Style!
The crowd goes wild with cheers as Bischoff looks at Triple H who is holding his US title and then at Chris Jericho. Bischoff looks back at HBK, then lifts the mic up and begins to speak.
Eric Bischoff: Fine! You got your way, just get the hell out of this ring. You still dont get a match, but you arent suspended. You go on in the tournament, and you keep this in mind. All of you. If you ever come near me and threaten me again, so help me I will see to it that your contracts are no more!
Triple H grabs a microphone.
Triple H:No more heh? Well we could care less what you say Bitchoff..(smiles)..because we are the ones that will run the place after you get demolished by someone you piss of! Just make sure it aint us, because we will run..you..down!
Triple H hands the mic to Jericho.
Y2J:Thats right Jerky, and oh yea. If your not down wit that, we got two Words for ya...
They all say it at the same time on the mic..*SUCK IT!!!*
BREAK IT DOWN hits the PA System as Degeneration X leaves Bischoff in the ring angrey as we head to a commercial break.
As we come back froma commercial break we head to the ring for some action.

Shane tells his mom he loves her and will be right back. Shane goes in the lobby and picks up the phone to find out its Stacy Keibler on the other end! She is asking for a Match sometime soon and Shane says this really isnt the time to ask he is a bit busy. How rude of Stacy to call he says. Shane tells her he has to run goodbye. Shane hangs up the phone and then Stacy is a little mad as we head to ringside for commentary.
Tony:Whats that all about? If you ask me Stacy shouldve known better than to call Shane while he was at the hospital with his mother. We just want to wish Linda the best of luck to get well soon!
Brain: Thats right, but lets not talk about that, lets talk about what I just learned! My sources are telling me that Eric Bischoff has just fired Scott Steiner!
Tony:Your kidding right?
Brain:I am not Tony. He is now gone from XPW. So the question is what we will do about our main event?
Tony:Well Brain and fans, I am being told that Tazz has something to say about the firing of Steiner, lets go backstage.
Tazz is standing there in front of the camera and says that he is tired of not having a worthy opponent. Steiner chickened out last week, and this week he gets fired. Well tonight, Tazz says he wants to fight, and he will do it against whoever is drawn out of this hat. Tazz lifts up a Tazz hat.

We come back from a commercial and go to ringside with Tony and Bobby.
Tony:Welcome back to XPW Shocker live on TNT! We have been given word that Big Show and Scott Hall arrived at their locker room and nobody has left from it at this time. So we are to beleive Eric Bischoff our VP is in there with them.
Brain:You know it makes you wonder what is going on in the head of Bischoff tonight? He has been acting very differently now that Shane McMahon isnt here. But I am betting things will go a little bit differently when Shane does get back here. He will make things right.
We go backstage showing Rob Van Dam, Kidman with his Cruiserweight Title, and Lita with her Womens Title. They are talking about who would be the best person to join up with KAOS. RVD says we will just have to keep an eye out. He says his mind is more set on the big 7footer Kevin Nash tonight. RVD says that he has to win this, because then the team will be undefeated still. But it will be a tough thing to do. Kidman says hey at least you have a match, Lita agrees. Kidman says that he and Lita are Cruiserweight and Womens Champion, yet they dont have any matches. RVD says to just be cool, hes sure that youll figure something out. Just pull a name out of thin air, and challenge them, thats what id do. Then all of a sudden there is a WOOOOSH!!! sound and from the "sky" comes The Hurricane! Hurricane says that Kidman's prayers have been answered, from the sky out of thin air. He says that he would be more than happy to challenge Kidman for the Cruiserweight Championship next week. Kidman agrees and Lita says well I still dont have a match!
