Revenge... that’s what it’s all about. You can’t make up for the past... what’s done is done. Now all you can do is move on. You lay awake at night, thinking about how you can exact revenge... how you can pay the individual back for the pain and suffering... for the defeat. But you know that no matter how much you hurt him, it doesn’t change the past. The past is a gaping hole. You can try to run from it, but the more you run, the deeper, more terrible it grows behind you, its edges yawning at your heels. Your only chance is to turn around and face it...
The scene opens up at the WWE Headquarters in Greenwich, Connecticut. The parking lot is full, people rushing in and out of the doors. Inside, the main lobby is filled with WWE employees working overtime to make Mr. Shane McMahon happy. Most are busy promoting WWE’s next Pay-Per-View, Royal Rumble. One employee stands at the front desk, awaiting orders from the secretary.
| ‘WWE Secretary’ Jan | “Hey, Chris? Would you mind doing me a favor and finding Goldberg?
| ‘WWE Employee’ Chris | “Uh... sure. Where is he and what would you like me to tell him?”
| ‘WWE Secretary’ Jan | “I believe he is in the weight room right now. Tell him that he has a match scheduled for Thursday night’s SMACKDOWN! He will be facing Sean O’Haire...”
Chris nods in agreement as he strolls off. He catches an elevator and makes his way up to the weight room. As the elevator reaches its destination, Chris walks out and finds Goldberg benching. Goldberg is wearing his ‘NEXT’ t-shirt along with black shorts.
| ‘WWE Employee’ Chris | “Hey, uh, Mr. Goldberg?”
Goldberg simply ignores Chris, concentrating on his benching.
| ‘WWE Employee’ Chris | “Excuse me? Goldberg!
Goldberg angrily drops the weights back on the rack and looks up at Chris.
| ‘Da Man‘ Goldberg | “Never... EVER... interrupt a wrestler when he’s weightlifting. Let this be a warning to you. Next time I will break your neck.
| ‘WWE Employee’ Chris | “I’m terribly sorry, Goldberg. But I was given strict orders to find you and let you know about your upcoming match...”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Yeah... so?
| ‘WWE Employee’ Chris | “...”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Who the hell am I fighting?”
| ‘WWE Employee’ Chris | “Oh, yeah. You will be having a rematch from Armageddon... your opponent will be Sean O’Haire.
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Yeah... you’re hilarious. So who am I really fighting?”
| ‘WWE Employee’ Chris | “Sean O’Haire.”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “You’re not kidding, huh? Well, you delivered your message now get the hell out of here!”
Chris speed walks away, muttering to himself.
| ‘WWE Employee’ Chris | “It’s a good thing that I’m wearing black pants...”
Goldberg watches Chris leaves and turns back towards the camera.
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “So, once again, I am facing Sean O’Haire. HA! Well, I lost last time to Sean... but at the time I didn’t pay much attention. That same night I had a World Heavyweight Title match to worry about. But tonight, however Sean, you have my full attention.”
Bill gets up and walks over to the towel bin. He grabs a towel and wipes the sweat off his face. He then throws the towel in a different bin. He looks back towards the camera.
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Tonight marks the beginning a revolution... the beginning of the end, you could say. In the past, I have simply minded my own business... but I’m changing my strategy. As of now, you are either with me or against me. You can either join me or you can fight me. I’ll give everybody until RAW to decide... ’Cause I’m coming after those that oppose me... and I will knock out each guy, one by one. So why the beginning of the end? Well, it’s because after I am through with the WWE... many people will have seen the end... of their career. For instance, Shane Douglas and my very own damn boss, Shane McMahon.”
Goldberg walks over to the other side of the room, grabbing his water bottle off a shelf on the way by. Bill walks into the small lockerroom and then squirts some warm water into his mouth. Goldberg throws it on the ground in disgust. Goldberg then turns around and faces the camera.
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Oh, I thought everyone might like to know... earlier today, I entered the Royal Rumble! That’s right, so those other 29 other guys better watch out. Just think, when I win the Rumble... the World Heavyweight Champion, hopefully Shane Douglas, will be handed to me on a silver platter. All I have to do is be the last man standing at the end. So my offer still stands... if anyone wants to team up with me and take out everybody in the Rumble together and then fight to see who is the better man, you know exactly where to find me.”
Goldberg shoves the cameraman out of the locker room and then closes the door...
The scene opens up at the WWE Headquarters once again, this time in some sort of white hallway. Coach leans up against the wall, looking as cocky as ever. Goldberg comes walking down the hallway. He is wearing his trademark Harley Davidson leather jacket and black jeans. Coach quickly goes over to Goldberg.
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Billy! Good to see ya!”
Goldberg stares down Coach and Coach continues.
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Hey, I was just wondering if perhaps I could get a word with you about... what the hell am I doing? I’m asking you if I can interview you! You’re the one who should be asking me to interview you! After all, I am the best announcer past and present!
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “You want me to ask you to interview me? How about I just take my boot and shove it up your ass?”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “No, that’s ok. Well, Goldy, do you honestly think you can beat O’Haire tonight? I mean come on! You lost to John Cena last week, and all he did was rap about stuff that didn’t make sense!”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “First of all, Coach, I don’t think I will beat O’Haire.. .I know! And about losing to Cena... well, yeah, I did lose. But I was screwed once again by that bastard McMahon and Douglas!”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Ohhh, BOO HOO! Every time you lose you blame it on Douglas. Why can‘t you ever be mature and except that you suck? Perhaps you should become an announcer. You can learn from the best...”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Coach, you must really have a death wish... ‘cause you’re asking for a beating of your life. Anyway, Thursday, I will beat O’Haire. Sean hasn’t proved anything in my eyes. So he had a great match with the Undertaker... but he fell short. I will take him to the limit and then I will kick his ass. Sean, you are nothing. I will destroy you and leave nothing left behind. O’Haire, you don’t understand what its like to be a main eventer. Your whole career has been fighting this guy and that guy... that’s it. I have fought the best and I have beaten the best. Shawn Michaels, Brock Lesnar, Christian, Rhyno, Kurt Angle... I have beaten them all. And they were all better than you. It’s nothing personal, Sean, but I’m pissed... and when I’m pissed, you are just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hell, I’m not telling you anything that you didn’t already know!”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Well, Sean has been warned. Earlier, Goldberg, I heard you talking about some sort of Revolution... something about wrestlers can either be with you or against you... are you finally admitting that you suck and you need others to help you so you can finally win a match?”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Coach, shut the hell up. All I am saying is that the WWE has always been in the hands of a McMahon... all the power has been in the hand of a McMahon. And now, two McMahon's are fighting over it. Well, I am here to simply to stand against both of them. Soon all the power will be in MY hands... so you can either be with me or against me, I don’t care what your choice is.”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Whatever... So, you have entered the Royal Rumble, huh? I hope you draw #1!”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Yeah, you would like that, wouldn’t you. Well, it doesn’t matter what number I draw. I hope I draw closer to #30, which would mean less work for me... a chance to save my energy for the champ. But if I draw #1, that’s fine, too. So those 29 other guys... get ready in about 10 days time... your ass belongs to ME!
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Well, Goldy, stubborn as ever. I can’t believe you still think you’re the best at everything you do. I mean come on, Bill! Just face it, Sean will beat you tonight and next week you will come out here and talk about how Shane Douglas interfered, even if he didn’t! I think you should do everyone a favor and just quit!”
Goldberg smirks and then suddenly slams his fist right into Coach’s face. Coach falls back in a heap as Goldberg crouches over his body.
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “I say I’m the best.... because I am the best.
Goldberg gets up and looks into the camera.
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Sean, on SMACKDOWN!, YOUR ASS IS NEXT!!!
Goldberg walks away, as the camera zooms in on Coach, lying in a ball, holding his face.
