------------------SCENE ONE-------------------

The scene opens up at the beginning of a house show in Billings, Montana. The sky is clear, a beautiful, but chilly, December night. The fans are waiting in line outside, eagerly wanting to get in and find their seats. A discussion takes place between the two kids in the front of the line.

Kid #1~ Oh, I can’t wait! Just think... in a few moments we will be watching Kurt Angle kick some butt... we will be listening to Shane Douglas run down our city... and best yet, we will be chanting Goldberg’s name!”

Kid #2~ Well, that’s not very likely to happen. First of all, Kurt Angle is fighting Christian... and we all know that Christian will win. Second, Shane Douglas won’t even be here tonight. He’s the World Heavyweight Champion, why would he come to a lame ass town like this? And third, Goldberg isn’t on the card tonight... so he definitely will not show up...”

Just as the second kid is finished talking, a bunch of cheers are heard from the back of the line. Both kids’ heads turn as they go on their tippy-toes to see what all the commotion is about. Soon the kids both find out as Goldberg walks by the line, heading into the arena! Goldberg is wearing his black, leather, Harley Davidson jacket and a black pair of jeans. When he gets to front of the line, he high-fives the first kid and then enters the arena.

Kid #1~ See! I told you that Goldberg would be here! I told you!

Kid #2~ But... it.... the.... I thought.... uh.... THE CARD DIDN’T LIST HIM!

Kid #1~ Who cares? All that matters is he is here! The Man has arrived... and now somebody will pay!

------------------SCENE TWO------------------

This scene opens up mid-way through the house show. And luck would have it that the two kids who were first in line both had front row seats right next to each other. The second kid is upset because of all the jobbers who were fighting...

Kid #2~ This is horrible! I can’t believe I wasted my money AND my Friday night on this crap! I love the WWE, but when they do this to their fans... its just ridiculous!

Kid #1~ I admit that some of the matches were a bit boring, but wait until the big names start wrestling! Then you’ll be glad that you bought these tickets!

Kid #2~ There won’t be any big names. So we saw Goldberg earlier... so what? He could just be stopping by and just sitting back in his locker room.

Kid #1~ Oh be quiet! If you don’t like it, then you can leave!

Kid #2~ That sounds like a great idea! I’m out of here!

The second kid gets up and starts to leave when the first kid stops him.

‘Kid #1’ ~ Wait! The Fink is getting in the ring. Just wait and see who is coming out....

‘Kid #2’ ~ Fine...

Meanwhile, Howard Finkle gets into the ring with his mic in hand.

‘The Fink’ ~ Ladies and gentlemen, if I can have your attention please! The following entrance contains loud and bright pyros that may have some side effects on you if you are pregnant or have any troubles with sight. Now, the WWE proudly brings to you... one of its biggest stars... GOLDBERG!”

At the mention of Goldberg’s name, the crowd roars in cheers.

‘Kid #1’ ~ See! I told you! I was right again!

‘Kid #2’ ~ Yeah so what? Well... I guess I’ll stay a bit longer.

A few seconds later, Goldberg’s theme thunders throughout the entire arena! The fans immediately begin the famous GOLDBERG chant.

Goldberg walks out to the delight of every fan in the building. Goldberg is now wearing his all black ring gear, complete with black gloves, elbow pads, and knee pads. Goldberg’s Hardcore Championship belt is around his waist. Goldberg stops right on the stage as the gold shower pyros begins. The pyros bounce off Goldberg as he breathes smoke and exhales it, making quite an intimidating scene.

As the pyros stop, Goldberg starts to walk down to the ring, a very serious look upon his face. Suddenly Goldberg punches the air three times and then kicks as four loud firecrackers blast off. Goldberg then climbs into the ring and proceeds to climb the turnbuckle. Goldberg looks out into the fans whom are chanting his name. Goldberg then takes off his belt and raises it in the air for a big pop.

‘The Fink’~ Already in the ring, weighing in at 283 lbs., from Atlanta, Georgia, he’s the Hardcore Champion... Gold...

Just as Howard Finkle is about to say his name, Goldberg snatches the mic right out of The Fink’s chubby little hand. Goldberg seems to stare a hole right through Finkle, glaring at him with a menacing look. Fink swallows nervously and quickly darts out of the ring. Goldberg turns towards the audience, about to speak his mind.

‘The Man’ ~ Last Monday Night... RAW... I took on Brock Lesnar. A rematch from Survivor Series. Before that match, I vowed that I would hurt Brock. I guaranteed that Brock would be left in a pool of his own blood. And that is exactly what happened. Brock was taught a lesson. A lesson that simply is... BELIEVE THE HYPE! Brock thought that I was all hype, that I couldn’t back it up. Well, heh, I kicked his ass two straight nights in a row! So now, in my short career in the WWE, I have already beaten Brock Lesnar a total of three times. Matter of fact, Lesnar was originally scheduled for tonight’s main event. Well, after what he went through on RAW, he has been cancelled. So there I was kicking Brock’s ass, then I pinned him 1...2...3! But nothing unusual there. So why am I so pissed right now? Ha, ha! Well, there I am looking over at what I did to Brock when... BOOM... it hit me...

Goldberg pauses for a second, remembering vividly what happened next.

‘The Man’ ~ What hit me? To tell you the truth, I didn’t even know at first. But since Monday Night, I have watched the footage over and over and over again. And who was it that hit me? It was none other than Triple Threat! Yeah, that’s right, three men attacked me from behind. They beat me down until I couldn’t get up. They beat me down until I was unconscious. I can’t remember what happened next, but when I woke up, I was backstage with medical attendants caring to me. But that was fine. You see I got exactly what I have wanted for weeks and weeks. Without knowing it, Shane Douglas and the rest of Triple Threat handed me what I have been chasing since I came here to the WWE. They gave me a match with Shane Douglas, one-on-one in a no DQ, falls count anywhere. I would have took about 100 more of the beating that I got, just so I can get my hands around that scrawny little neck of Shane! Monday Night... Christmas will come early!

‘The Man’ ~ A big question that I have been hearing since Monday has been... ’Goldberg, Shane has beaten you twice, what makes you think you can finally beat him?’ ... what makes me think? Actually, that question should be what makes me know that I will finally beat him. Some would say confidence... some would say strength... some would say luck... some would say that I won’t beat him. You can believe whatever you want, but the fact of the matter is... that I will beat him, no matter what it takes.

‘The Man’ ~ Shane, like I said earlier, I have watched the footage of what you said over and over. And I clearly remember you saying that you already beat me twice so what’s the point of beating me again. Shane, you damn well know why you finally accepted my challenge. You listen to what I say and it eats at you. Hearing me say that I can kick your ass just tears you apart. You know deep down inside that you haven’t proved anything until you beat me once and for all. That’s right, Shane, beat me fair and square. If you think you are so big and bad, then don’t bring Francine to the ring... don’t bring your boyfriends either. Come on, Shane, come on. For once in your pathetic life... get some balls and take me on one-on-one. Right now it looks as if Francine has more balls than Shane...

The fans yell, “OOOOHHHHHHH,” after the insult from Goldberg.

‘The Man’ ~ Many people have been saying that I am walking right into a trap. People are saying... ‘Hey, Goldberg! Are you nuts? Shane Douglas always uses weapons when its not a no DQ match... how do you expect to win when he can use as much weapons as he wants AND Tommy Dreamer and Jeff Jarrett can come in and interfere?’ ... How do I expect to win? It’s quite simple. In case you have been living behind a rock for the past week, I am the new Hardcore Champion. So my match this Monday is a no DQ... so what? That match is right down my alley. That match is the match that I can truly show exactly what I am capable of. I can truly punish Shane Douglas for everything he has ever said... for everything he has ever did...

Goldberg pauses, staring blankly down at the canvas...

‘The Man’ ~ One might ask me why I am so determined to hurt Shane Douglas. Well, let me bring you down to a little place called Memory Lane. It was back in the end of October. I won a #1 contenders match to the Intercontinental Title. And so, it was on... Goldberg VS. Shane Part 1. That match, it was simply a match... nothing personal. But Shane... he made it personal. Ever since that night, I have been thinking about revenge 24 / 7. A person might say that I am obsessed with Douglas... and I agree, I am. And now because Shane was handed the World Heavyweight title, this Monday Night, I will get a win over the champ. I will prove to everybody backstage that Goldberg is capable of becoming the World Heavyweight Champion. But most of all, I will prove to Shane that I will kick his ass!

Goldberg lowers the mic and looks out at the fans as they begin to chant his name...

GOLDBERG! GOLDBERG! GOLDBERG!

As the chant dies down Goldberg raises the microphone to his mouth.

‘The Man’ ~ Early tonight, there was a segment with Shane Douglas after he got out of the shower with Jarrett... and Shane sits there and says that the Hardcore Title means nothing. Well, I think Shane should get his priorities straight because I won this title and Shane was simply given his title. Shane keeps reminding everybody that he is the World Champion, but he always seems to forget to mention how he got that title. These fans will never forget the look of disappointment on their faces when Tommy Dreamer just laid down for Shane at Survivor Series. Shane, after our match on RAW, when you are being rushed to the hospital... you are going to wish that you just laid down for me...

‘The Man’ ~ Shane, I only have two words left for you... YOUR NEXT!!!

As Goldberg throws down the mic, some unknown music hits as a local wrestler walks out to not much of any reaction from the fans. The match is started and Goldberg decimates the kid for the 1...2...3! Goldberg’s music hits as he grabs his title and climbs the turnbuckle, posing for the fans to take pictures. The Goldberg chant is started once again for the third time of the night.

One kid who has joined in on the chant is the kid who was first in line.

‘Kid #1’ ~ Goldberg is awesome! I can’t wait until he shows Douglas what he is capable of!

‘Kid #2’ ~ Excuse me? Shane will beat Goldberg once again for the third... count ‘em, 1...2...3,... third time that Shane will have gotten the victory. Goldberg is just all hype.

‘Kid #1’ ~ Well, maybe you should believe the hype! Why are you still here anyway?

‘Kid #2’ ~ Well... I just... I just wanted to here what Goldberg had to say, that’s all. I guess I’ll stay for the rest of the show...

The scene fades as Goldberg walks to the back...
