Scene 1 ~
The scene opens up about mid-day. We see Goldberg, dressed in his black leather jacket and black jeans, walking through what appears to be a cemetery in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Goldberg seems to be deep in thought, staring at each tombstone. A limo pulls up in the road as the door flings open. Coach quickly hustles out, slamming the door behind him.
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Goldberg?! Goldberg!”
Goldberg looks up, not very pleased to see Coach.
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “I just happened to be riding by... What are you doing here?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Well, Coach, it appears that my opponent for this Monday Night likes to hang around these places... so I decided to get in the right state of mind for my match.”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “You have yet to cut a promo for RAW... so now’s a perfect time to do one!”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “I don’t...”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “OK... great! First of all, what’s your reaction to your victory against The Game, Triple H, last week on RAW.”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “To tell you the truth, I didn’t really have a reaction. It wasn’t a shock to me that I pulled away with a victory... cause I knew I would. Triple H is one tough competitor, but I have set a goal... I have planned out a path to Wrestlemania and I intend to follow along that path, getting a victory each week along the way. Once again I promised that I would beat Triple H and that’s what I did.”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Moving on... this Monday Night on RAW, the World Heavyweight Champion, Johnny ‘The Bull’ Stamboli, will no longer be defending his title against HBK, Shawn Michaels. Instead, he will be defending his title in triple threat match. This triple threat match will be involving two female competitors... Lizzy Borden and Sable. So there is a possibility that you will be taking on either of these two women at Wrestlemania XX... your reaction on that?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Well, I would rather not face either of these two women. You see, what I am planning to do... what I am planning to put on the line for the World Heavyweight Championship... well, it’s just not going to be pretty, put it that way. I would not like to put my hands on a women, but I have vowed to win that World Heavyweight Title and if that’s what it takes... so be it.”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “We found out last week on RAW, that your title match at Wrestlemania XX is now a Three Stages of Hell match. This means that this match will be 2 out of 3 falls and each of those falls will have a different stipulation. What do you think about this match?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “This match is a very dangerous match. Nobody knows what these three stipulations will be. They could be anything from a Hell in a Cell to a Last Man Standing. It reminds me of this Monday Night... I will be in a match in which I have no idea what it will involve. Plus this Three Stages of Hell will be tiring. Not only do you have to last through one match but you have to last through two more. I will have to be training extra hard to make sure I will last through this match.”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “As I’m sure you have heard, pretty much every match on RAW will be decided with the RAW Roulette. This means Russo will spin his wheel and whatever match it lands on, that will be the special stipulation...”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “That is a pretty serious stipulation. My match could be a Hardcore match... it could be a special referee... it could be a cage match... or it could even be a Buried Alive match. But that doesn’t make a difference. All that wheel decides is how I will beat the Undertaker. Maybe I will beat his ass with weapons... maybe I will have to burn his ass... or maybe, just maybe, I will have to bury his sorry ass in this very dirt...”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Undertaker has talked about fate... fate deciding this and that. What do you have to say about fate?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Fate is an interesting thing... and it’s interesting that the Undertaker would be talking about it. The Undertaker’s fate has already been decided... back when Russo booked this match, Undertaker’s fate was decided. Undertaker’s fate is to get beaten by Da Man... there’s nothing more to it.”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “What’s your reaction to the Undertaker being revealed as one of the Three Wise Men and then joining the Imperial Dynasty?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “I think it’s pretty amusing. First of all, the whole group I find amusing. It reminds me a lot of the days of Shane Douglas as champ. He also had several men to back him up... the Corporate Alliance. Now our new champ, Johnny Stamboli, has his own little group, the Imperial Dynasty. And now that the Undertaker has joined, it will make my win on RAW that much better. When I take out Taker, I will know that I am taking out a piece of Johnny Stamboli!”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “What do you think about Undertaker’s losing streak?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Well, I don’t think, but I know that it will continue after RAW. Undertaker left the WWE after he lost to Shane Douglas at the Royal Rumble. He walked out and after a month or so... he comes back as ‘The Phenom’ and is supposed to be unstoppable. But he has a losing streak. And that in itself makes him look not too scary.”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Undertaker said that he may not be too quick, but he can avoid your spear. Do you think he can?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Haha... Can he avoid my spear?! Did Abraham Lincoln have a beard? There’s not one single person that can avoid my spear. The second you turn around I am right there, spearing you down to the mat. Then I will deliver that very same Jackhammer you talked about. Taker, you say that I can’t avoid you? Well, on RAW I’m not going to avoid you... I’m going to come straight at you, full blast.”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Undertaker has also said that you will need a hell of a lot of luck to pull out with a win... So do you have your four-leaf clover?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Four-leaf clover? Yeah, I got it and if you don’t shut your mouth I will shove it up your ass! I don’t need no luck, Undertaker... never have, never will. In reality, you, Undertaker, will need the luck... plus all your Imperial Dynasty friends. ‘Cause it will take one hell of a miracle to pull a win out this Monday Night.”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “I heard Taker say that it’s a pity that you two are fighting, ‘cause you could make a good team. Do you see yourself teaming up with the Undertaker in the near future?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “As long as Taker is in the Imperial Dynasty, that won’t happen. It’s true... if we made a team, we would be unstoppable. But not now... right now that wouldn’t be a smart move on my part. I am unstoppable enough on my own without a tag partner.”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “You cannot kill a man that is already dead... those were the words of the Undertaker... what do you think?”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Is that so, Undertaker? I can’t kill a man that is already dead? Well, just wait and see... you will be in for a shock of a lifetime when I end your legendary career by killing off the Phenom. Taker, you are not dead... not now at least. But soon enough your wish may very well come true.”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “In the last few moments of his interview, Undertaker stated that he has come back because he has some unfinished business... which is to kick everybody’s ass in the WWE... starting with you.”
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Well, it appears that that is many people’s goal here in the WWE. He says that he will start with me? Yeah, that’s right... he will start with me and he will end with me. Undertaker doesn’t realize who I am. He doesn’t realize that just the name Goldberg sends chills down everybody’s spine. Undertaker will try to kick my ass... but he won’t be successful. Taker has been struggling for awhile, and it’s about time that somebody puts him out of his misery... and that somebody is me.”
Goldberg walks up to a open dug grave. Goldberg looks down into it as he speaks these last words...
| `Da Man' Goldberg | “Undertaker, this Monday Night on RAW, you will be the one who finally Rests in Peace... cause you are NEXT!”
Goldberg walks away, leaving a speechless Coach. As Goldberg leaves, Coach looks around for his limo. Surprisingly, the limo has left Coach alone in the cemetery...
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Where’s my limo?! Mr. Limo Driver? Goldberg? You can’t just leave me here with all these dead people! HELP!”
The scene slowly fades to black...
