The end draws near... the time when all shall be punished... the time when all shall be forgotten... and the time that all shall be... NEXT!!! JUDGMENT DAY IS COMING...

Scene 1 ~ Size Doesn’t Matter!

The scene opens up at the MetroCentre in Rockford, Illinois. It is about an hour away from RAW starting and the crowd is slowly filtering in. Meanwhile, in the backstage area, Goldberg is seen walking down a hallway. Goldberg wears jogging pants, a black Goldberg t-shirt, with a water bottle in hand. Goldberg paces back and forth as Good Ol’ JR walks by.

| ‘Good Ol’ JR’ Jim Ross | “Hey, Bill. I was asked to conduct an interview segment with you that will air later on tonight on RAW. Do you got time?”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Yeah, I got time.”

JR nods his head as he walks away. Goldberg follows him into the interview room. They take a seat as JR begins to speak...

| ‘Good Ol’ JR’ Jim Ross | “First of all, is there anything that you would like to say about your biggest concern right now, the World Heavyweight Title?”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Well, JR, this Sunday I have an opportunity of a life time. This Sunday at Judgment Day, I have the chance at regaining my World Heavyweight Title and I have the chance to exact revenge on the two people that screwed me, Triple H and Stephanie. I will not let this opportunity escape me... I will put my career on the line if I have to. Whatever it takes will be done in order for me to become champion once again. Triple H, hold that title of yours very tightly... ‘cause you won’t have it much longer. You think your living in a dream world right now, and you basically are. You’ve got the two things that mean most to you in your palm... the World Heavyweight Title and Stephanie. But this dream world is about to end. This dream is about to come crashing down into one big nightmare that will make you wish you were never born. Triple H, that nightmare is Judgment Day...”

| ‘Good Ol’ JR’ Jim Ross | “Then let’s move on to later tonight. Goldberg, in a little over 2 hours, you will be facing one of your toughest challenges to date... the Big Show. Now, what do you think about him?”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “I think the Big Show is nothing but an arrogant slob. Big Show, you think that you have the entire WWE in your palm... but in reality, you’ve just been promoted from Velocity. Big Show, you have yet to prove a damn thing here on RAW and SMACKDOWN! Now that you have finally made it to the big leagues, let’s see you dominate the big leagues like you say you will. Quite frankly, I think you are using your size to your advantage. You scare people into doubting themselves then you walk in and squash them. Well, it ain’t gonna happen this time. You have never fought a superstar like me... so let me know how it feels when you are on your back and I have just beaten you...”

| ‘Good Ol’ JR’ Jim Ross | “You mentioned Big Show’s size advantage, which he has against every opponent he faces. Do you think your strength can overcome this feat?”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “JR, the Big Show may be big... but that’s it. He’s not as tough as he thinks he is. This whole size thing has got to his head. He walks around each and every night thinking that he will rip apart his opponent... but that’s not the case at all. The only thing Big Show can dominate is the buffet table. So Big Show, I think you need to step back and realize that size isn’t everything. I don’t care if your 7 feet tall or 7 inches tall, it makes no difference. Show, wrestlers are not judged by their size... they are judged by their wrestling ability... and you have none. All you can do is manipulate your opponents... you talk about your size, that you are 7 feet tall and 500 lbs. All that talk scares most of your opponents. Your opponents lose confidence, and that’s when you beat them. If a person doesn’t have confidence, then there is no way they will be able to win a match. You need to believe in yourself, which the Big Show takes away from his opponents. But I am not like your other opponents, Big Show. I am not intimidated by your size. I have confidence in myself... I believe in myself. I know that I have what it takes to beat the giant they call the Big Show. Big Show, your mind games will not work with me. You know the old saying is true... the bigger they are, the harder they fall!”

| ‘Good Ol’ JR’ Jim Ross | “Obviously you are not worried about the size differences...”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “No, JR, I’m not. I know that for every inch that the Big Show is bigger than me, I have that much more strength to take him down with. I have a lot of strength and power, JR, and I know that it is enough to take the big man down. I know that it is enough to spear his ass to the canvas. And I know it is enough to pick him up and Jackhammer his fat ass straight to hell!”

| ‘Good Ol’ JR’ Jim Ross | “The Big Show has quite a win/loss record. As of right now, the Big Show is 5-1. What do you think about this record?”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “You’re right, JR, Big Show does have quite a record. But let me remind you that I have a better record when I first came to the WWE. I was at least 7-0 when I got my first loss. And let me remind you of my record in WcW... 176-0... and a couple of those wins were from the Big Show. But I realize that was in the past... so I agree, Big Show does have an impressive record... but it’s about to go downhill from here. After tonight his record will be 5-2... and it won’t stop from there. It will continue as a steady decline drags him down. Big Show, like I have said in the past, records don’t mean a damn thing when you face Goldberg. I take out everybody the same way... which means there’s never the choice of the easy way or the hard way. When you face me, you’re always going to get the hard way. I don’t care if you’re 5-1 or 1-5. You will be destroyed.”

| ‘Good Ol’ JR’ Jim Ross | “What do you think about all the jokes the Big Show has been making about you as of late?”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “You know, JR, that’s all fine and dandy. Big Show can make all the little jokes about me that he wants to. But tonight, when that bell rings and the match starts, there will be no more jokes. There will be nothing funny about what I will do to the Big Show. Tonight, the jokes will be over, Show. You can laugh all you want but that just makes me more mad. And when I’m more mad, that’s not a good thing. That just means that you will get your ass kicked even more. The only funny thing left will be when you look up at me after I defeat you and all the fans laugh at you because you thought you were so big and tough. Then, and only then, will it be funny. I will laugh when I see your ass down on that mat after I have just proved you wrong.”

| ‘Good Ol’ JR’ Jim Ross | “What do you think about Big Show being a member of the Corporate Alliance... an organization in which you hate?”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “JR, I am glad that he just happens to be a member of the Corporate Alliance. That just makes it an added benefit when I beat his ass tonight. I swore that I would demolish the Corporate Alliance and that is exactly what I will do. Last week it was Chris Jericho that I beat up and this week it will be the Big Show. By the end, I will have Shane McMahon on his knees begging for mercy before me! That’s right, I will single-handedly decimate the entire faction of the Corporate Alliance! And it continues with the Big Show!”

| ‘Good Ol’ JR’ Jim Ross | “Speaking of Chris Jericho, how do you feel, performance wise, your match was against him on RAW last week?”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “I think the match was great. Not only did the fans get to see me beat the so called Living Legend, Chris Jericho, but they also saw me nail the owner, Shane O’ Mac, with a chair. But as great as that match was, tonight’s match will be even better. I am Big Show’s toughest challenge to date, and he is one of mine. So I know that this match will deliver the ratings that it is expected to get. But in the end, all in all, only one man will walk out a winner and that one man is Da Man, Goldberg!”

| ‘Good Ol’ JR’ Jim Ross | “Earlier you talked about destroying factions, mainly the Corporate Alliance. But what do you think of the Supremacy?”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “In my opinion, the Supremacy is just as bad as the Corporate Alliance. One is lead by the slut-bitch known as Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, and the other is lead by her brother, the little bastard known as Shane McMahon. These two are no longer agreeing and there has now been a power struggle in the WWE. Who really cares? Nobody wants to see the WWE end up in either of these two’s hands so why feud over it? Stephanie just wants the WWE so she can get some more men to sleep with her. Shane, well, he probably has the same goal. So who will get it? Stephanie or Shane? Well, everybody is forgetting about me. By power alone, I could take over the WWE. And that’s exactly what will happen this Sunday at Judgment Day when I win my World Heavyweight Title back...”

| ‘Good Ol’ JR’ Jim Ross | “Back to your match later on tonight... Do you wish that the WWE Television Title was on the line?”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Of course, I do, JR. Hey, it’s another title. But, to tell you the truth, I don’t care that it’s not. I know that soon enough I will be getting my World Heavyweight Title shot and I won’t need the TV title or any other title in that case. All the other titles really don’t mean much. They are just building blocks for the main title... the World Heavyweight Title... my World Heavyweight Title! So, to answer your question JR, yeah, I would have preferred to have this be for the title but what can you expect when Shane books a match against one of his allies. Did you honestly think he would put Big Show in a title match with a great chance of losing it? Well, I didn’t. So for that reason, I will not lose any sleep over the fact that the Television Title will not be on the line tonight.”

| ‘Good Ol’ JR’ Jim Ross | “What do you think about Big Show’s win last week, when he defeated the very young and talented, Randy Orton?”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Well, Randy is a tremendous athlete with a great amount of courage. But you said it best right there, the very young Randy Orton. Because he is so young, he lacks experience. Experience is a key factor in wrestling. When you have experience, you get a feel for your opponents. You can sense when and what move your opponent will do. Then you can reverse the move along with reversing the momentum. Big Show has that experience and he used it to his advantage. Randy is still very green and in his prime there is no doubt that he will be close to unstoppable, but he hasn’t reached that level yet. So for the Big Show, it was probably an easy win, similar to my match tonight with Show. An easy win, for me that is.”

| ‘Good Ol’ JR’ Jim Ross | “Well, that about wraps it up, Goldberg. Thanks for taking some time to sit down and talk about your match and good luck. Anything else you would like to add before we end?”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Yeah, there is. Big Show, you can think whatever you want to think going into this match. You can think that you will demolish me, but that will only be your disadvantage. Underestimating your opponent is a huge factor... but underestimating the hype is a whole ‘nother thing. Big Show, you have been in the WWE for quite awhile so I know that you have heard the hype. Everybody hears it and you’re no exception. You have heard that staring into my eyes is like staring into the face of death itself. You have heard rumors of people going crazy just listening to the chant... GOLDBERG... GOLDBERG... GOLDBERG! You have heard that my Spear feels like getting hit by a train. All this hype... but will you choose to believe it? Or will you choose to ignore it, much like all my other opponents. I will tell you now... BELIEVE THE HYPE!!!”

| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Show, get ready. The jokes are done... all that’s left is the fight. And when it’s all over... only one man will be left standing. Will it be you? You know the answer to that question deep down inside... but you are afraid to let it out. You know what will happen... you just are afraid to confront it. But there’s no way to avoid it any longer... cause the match is coming up. Get ready, Show... YOU’RE ASS IS NEXT!!!”

Goldberg gets up and walks out as the scene fades to black...
