Scene 1
The scene opens moments away from RAW going live on-air. The fans at the Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Connecticut are ecstatic, patiently waiting for it to start. Meanwhile, backstage the RAW superstars are getting ready for the night. Several superstars are seen stretching the in hallway, others are concentrating at the task at hand in their locker room. Among these superstars is Bill Goldberg, who will have a hard match against the Game, Triple H.
The camera and Terri Runnels walk up to Goldberg’s locker room door and knock. After about a 15 second wait, the door opens as Goldberg himself emerges from the room.
| `Sexy Lil She-Devil' Terri | “Goldberg, would you mind me conducting a quick interview about the recent happenings in the WWE and about your match tonight?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Just as long as it’s quick.”
| `Sexy Lil She-Devil' Terri | “Very well... First off, Kane has been talking about how easy his victory was. He has said that he always knew that you would lose and he just proved his point. Can I get your reaction on these statements?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Well, Terri, I have seen Kane in recent interviews and it just is kind of funny to me. Kane contradicts himself in so many ways. He stands there saying that he won easily and yet, you can hear the way his voice quavers every time he mentions my name. You can see the fear in his eyes every time he remembers No Way Out. Yes, Terri, Kane did beat me... but he needed help. Kane knew that he couldn’t beat me one-on-one and it was a huge relief for him when he saw Johnny The Bull Stamboli come down that ramp carrying a Singapore cane. Kane, don’t worry, we will meet again... and next time you won’t be so lucky. No Way Out was a night that will be forever scarred into my brain... and I know that as long as Kane is breathing... I will never be satisfied.”
| `Sexy Lil She-Devil' Terri | “Sounds like Kane is in trouble. In related news, Johnny ‘The Bull’ Stamboli cost you that very match. Stamboli may very well be your opponent for Wrestlemania... Anything you would like to say regarding this?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Matter of fact, Terri, yeah there is. Stamboli thinks he is all high and mighty... but just because he is now the World Heavyweight Champion, that doesn’t make him anything. He calls himself the king and this and that... but my opinion of him is a little twirp who is asking for a beat down. If he can make it to Wrestlemania, he will be in for a rude awakening... ‘Cause this little reign of his will be ending at Wrestlemania... So he better get ready because I am coming for him!”
| `Sexy Lil She-Devil' Terri | “Let me take you back a week ago, the night was Sunday, and it was at No Way Out. You decided to run out and spear Stamboli. However, Stamboli moved out of the way and you speared Shawn Michaels, costing him the match and the World Title. Shawn has vowed to pay you back... Your feelings on this?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Shawn, I will say this one time and one time only... believe what you want but that spear was intended for Johnny Stamboli, not you. I used to have a great deal of respect for Shawn Michaels, but because of his words and actions as of late, I lost all respect for him...”
| `Sexy Lil She-Devil' Terri | “You lost respect for him because of what?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “First of all, Shawn calls me a big retard... Shawn, it was big retard who beat your ass just a couple weeks ago. Then he said that I cost him the title because I was scared? Scared of Shawn Michaels... HELL NO! I’m not scared of Shawn, or Stamboli, or Kane, or anyone else for that matter. I really hope Shawn does beat Stamboli for the title next week in that Hell in a Cell... cause I would love to get my hands on Michaels once again. But the thing that pisses me off the most is how Shawn sits there and whines about it. He doesn’t do something about it, he just sits there and calls me names and says that he won’t forget what I did. Shawn, shit happens. I have been screwed so many times while here in the WWE, and you just have to learn to deal with it. I can’t wait for the day that Michaels tries to ‘pay me back’ for what I did... cause I will teach him a lesson... and that lesson is don’t mess with Da Man!”
| `Sexy Lil She-Devil' Terri | “So you want Michaels to win next week on RAW?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “I really don’t care who wins... cause either way at Wrestlemania I will be kicking someone’s ass. It doesn’t matter if I am getting revenge on Stamboli or if I am teaching that lesson to HBK Shawn Michaels. One way or another, I will give out a beating and I will win that World Heavyweight Title.”
| `Sexy Lil She-Devil' Terri | “Let’s move on... Tonight, another tough challenge has been put in front of you. In front of these Connecticut fans, you will be fighting Triple H... Your feelings on this match?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “I think it will be a very good match and I think these people will get what they paid for. Triple H will be a very tough opponent, especially with Stephanie McMahon by his side. Yet again, another tough obstacle has been put in front of me. But tonight I won’t take losing as one of my options. I will walk out tonight a winner and there’s not a damn thing that Triple H or Stephanie can do about it!”
| `Sexy Lil She-Devil' Terri | “You’ve mentioned Stephanie McMahon... What is your opinion about her?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Myself and Steph have never really talked one-on-one, but I have seen her enough to know what kind of bitch she can be. She better stay out of this match, or she might just get hurt. Take that as a threat... take that as a promise... whatever you take it as, it will happen if she messes with my match. And that goes for anyone else as well. If Stamboli, or Kane, or Shawn Michaels decide to walk down that ramp and lay a finger on me, there will be hell to pay.”
| `Sexy Lil She-Devil' Terri | “Very well. Now what is your opinion on the reuniting of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “The other day I said what I thought... Quite frankly, I think Steph will hold Triple H back. Triple H will be too caught up in pleasing Steph that he will forget what he came to the WWE for... the World Heavyweight Title. Triple H said that the most important thing to him right now is Steph... well, when you put others in front of the wrestling itself, you lose your focus. When you lose your focus, you’ve pretty much just lost your damn match.”
| `Sexy Lil She-Devil' Terri | “So you think one reason that you may beat Triple H tonight is because of Steph?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Maybe she won’t directly cost him the match... but yeah, I think her actions may lead to some sort of miscommunication between the two and it will backfire. Even if Steph doesn’t show up here at RAW tonight, I will still beat Triple H to a bloody pulp.”
| `Sexy Lil She-Devil' Terri | “I see. Lastly, what is your opinion about Triple H himself?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “I said it before... Triple H is a tough competitor and a damn good athlete. He executes his moves to perfection and always seems to have the match planned out. He is in his prime and I don’t doubt that this will be a great match. Triple H has proved many times in the past that he is exactly what he says... that damn good. But being that damn good isn’t good enough when you are facing Da Man. He may be that damn good, but I am that damn better. Triple H, you are that damn NEXT!”
| `Sexy Lil She-Devil' Terri | “Well, thanks for this interview, Goldberg. And good luck on your match later tonight. Is there anything else you would like to address before ending?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “I would just like to say that Triple H, you are very arrogant and you think you will walk into this match and pull away with an easy victory... just like everyone, just like all my past opponents have. But just like all my past opponents, you will find out how it feels to be NEXT!”
| `Sexy Lil She-Devil' Terri | “Once again, thanks for your time, Goldberg. This is Terri for WWE RAW...”
Terri and Goldberg walk separate ways as the camera fades to black...
