Forward ~ The Supreme Era Begins...
Judgment Day is over and done with, and only the strong have survived... The most unlikely of all superstars has joined his rival faction... The two factions have clashed head first, however... One faction has taken a step ahead... One faction has taken the spotlight... One faction has reigned supreme... THE SUPREME ERA BEGINS....
Scene 1 ~ A New Attitude...
The scene opens up backstage at a house show. Josh Matthews is standing by...
| ‘SMACKDOWN! Interviewer’ Josh Matthews | “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here outside of the new World Heavyweight Champion’s locker room. Of course, I am talking about Goldberg...”
Josh knocks on the door and waits for five seconds. The door opens up as Goldberg walks out with the World title on his shoulder. Goldberg wears a black Supremacy t-shirt and his black jeans. Goldberg smirks and then shifts his shoulder, drawing attention to the title.
| ‘SMACKDOWN! Interviewer’ Josh Matthews | “First of all, Goldberg, what is your reaction to winning the title back at Judgment Day?”
| ‘Da Champ’ Goldberg | “That‘s right... once again I did exactly what I said I would do... what‘s new? I won the title back, plain and simple!”
| ‘SMACKDOWN! Interviewer’ Josh Matthews | “Well, something else happened, even more shocking than you winning the title, and that was when you joined the Supremacy. What made you join them?”
| ‘Da Champ’ Goldberg | “What made I join them?! You know, Josh, you‘re just like everybody else. Wherever I go, all I hear is WHY, GOLDBERG? WHY?!, and I’m sick of it. I have not received one congratulations from a single fan since before Judgment Day. I did win the title, you know. But fine, Josh, for the record, I will state my reason. The Supremacy is supreme... there’s nothing more to it. I knew that the Supremacy was the future and I knew I either could join them or get taken out by them. So I did the logical thing and hopped aboard!”
| ‘SMACKDOWN! Interviewer’ Josh Matthews | “Aren’t you concerned at all about the reaction that the fans will have come this Thursday on SMACKDOWN? Have you thought about this at all?”
| ‘Da Champ’ Goldberg | (mocking Josh) “Have you thought about this at all? Shut up, Josh! Of course I have thought about it. And you know what? I couldn’t care less what the fans say! The fans are the people that made me weak. It’s because of the fans that I lost my title in the first place!”
| ‘SMACKDOWN! Interviewer’ Josh Matthews | “Whoa, whoa, whoa! You’re blaming your loss of the fans?!”
| ‘Da Champ’ Goldberg | “Did I stutter, Josh? At Backlash, I was too wrapped up in pleasing the fans that I had no way of focusing on actually winning. Each night I bust my ass for the fans and what the hell do I get in return? T-shirt sales? Well, Josh, t-shirt sales just weren’t cutting it! But the thing that really got me was after my match at Backlash... I busted my ass that night to please the fans and when I lost, do you know what I heard, Josh? Do you know what I heard when I was walking backstage?! I heard laughing, Josh... laughing. It wasn’t good enough that I did my best to try and entertain the fans now was it? Now they were laughing at me. Well, it was at that moment right then and there that I knew I had to ditch the fans... and quick, too.”
| ‘SMACKDOWN! Interviewer’ Josh Matthews | “Goldberg, the fans were not laughing at you. They were actually chanting your name...”
| ‘Da Champ’ Goldberg | “They were laughing at me, Josh! They were laughing at everything I have ever worked for, everything I have ever dreamed of, and everything I have ever done. But now, look who’s laughing... ha, ha, ha! I’m laughing because in the end, I ditched the fans and I’m the champion once again!”
| ‘SMACKDOWN! Interviewer’ Josh Matthews | “Well, this Thursday night on SMACKDOWN!, you will be teaming up with your new friend, Triple H. What do you think of your team?”
| ‘Da Champ’ Goldberg | “Heh, what do I think of our team? We will be the greatest of all time, nothing more to it. Just look at it, you got Da Man, the two time World Heavyweight Champion, Goldberg... and then you got the Game, the former World Heavyweight Champion, the soon-to-be Television Champion, Triple H. We have nothing blocking our way... no obstacles... no worries to please the fans... all that is in our way is greatness. Just think about it, I am the World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H will be the TV Champion... and together we will become the World Tag Team Champions! We are undoubtedly the best two superstars this organization has and will ever see!”
| ‘SMACKDOWN! Interviewer’ Josh Matthews | “What if your past feuds fuel a disagreement between you two? Can we actually expect you guys to be on the same page?”
| ‘Da Champ’ Goldberg | “Myself and Triple H are not dwelling on the past. We realize that the past is over and we are now solid as one team. All I got from fighting Triple H all those times was reassurance that he will be a perfect tag partner for myself. I know that Triple H is everything he says he is. Hell, he is the Game... and he is one hell of an athlete. Together, we are unstoppable.... meaning nobody, and I mean nobody will be able to stop us. Will we be on the same page? Of course we will be. Come SMACKDOWN!, it will look like we have been tag partners our entire careers. Our moves will be in sync... our moves will be executed to perfection. Matter of fact, we will be the reflection of perfection!”
| ‘SMACKDOWN! Interviewer’ Josh Matthews | “When you say that nobody will be able to beat your team, are you including Jericho and Angle, your opponents this Thursday?”
| ‘Da Champ’ Goldberg | “Josh, when I say nobody, I mean nobody. Jericho and Angle are no exception. They are nothing and we will destroy them. Has either of them held this World Heavyweight Title twice? Has either of them even held this title once? There is no way two losers like them will beat champions like ourselves. It will be a classic battle of faction VS faction. But everybody knows that there is always one dominating faction, and you’re looking at it. Jericho can run his mouth all he wants about how him and Angle will prove us wrong. Ha! Now that’s funny! I’d like to see them try to stop us!”
| ‘SMACKDOWN! Interviewer’ Josh Matthews | “You said that you and Triple H know each other very well from all the times you have fought him. However, Jericho has fought Angle before, also, so do you think they know each other very well?”
| ‘Da Champ’ Goldberg | “Come on, Josh. Do you honestly think they know each other very well? They have only one thing in common with each other... they both like to kiss Shane McMahon’s ass. Otherwise, they are complete opposites! One is from the United States... the other is from Canada. One is bald... the other has long blonde hair! Do...”
| ‘SMACKDOWN! Interviewer’ Josh Matthews | “Um, Goldberg, you are bald and Triple H has long blonde hair, too. Does that make you guys complete opposites?”
| ‘Da Champ’ Goldberg | “Josh, Triple H and I are the best and that is what we have in common. All these last few months, we have spent feuding with each other, when in reality, we should have joined the moment we saw each other. It’s not about who is the best when you beat the guy every other month. It’s about taking the ball and running with it. That is exactly what Triple H and I did. We saw our opportunity and we took it. Triple H and I, along with the rest of the Supremacy, will take over the WWE, starting with the Corporate Alliance. We have this whole business in the palm of our hands...”
| ‘SMACKDOWN! Interviewer’ Josh Matthews | “I just thought about something. What about Stephanie McMahon? I thought you absolutely hated her.”
| ‘Da Champ’ Goldberg | “Hated her? Stephanie and Vince are the only two McMahon’s with brains! Yeah, I may have said some not so nice things to Stephanie in the past... but it was a necessity in order to shock the fans when I joined her and her faction. I have always knew Stephanie has the brains and the beauty. Triple H is a lucky guy to have her by his side. No matter what those pathetic fans think, Stephanie is not a slut. She is one of the classiest people I have ever met.”
| ‘SMACKDOWN! Interviewer’ Josh Matthews | “Sure. Lastly, what are your current long term goals now that you have won the World Heavyweight Title?”
| ‘Da Champ’ Goldberg | “Well, I will continue to defend this title against every person who has the balls to step up. As soon as they step up, I will throw them right back down. But other than that, Triple H and I will beat Jericho and Angle tonight and we will go on to beat any other tag teams who think that they are better than us. Then we will face the current tag team champions, Chris Jericho and Konnan. We will rule supreme because that is what we are and that is what we were made to do. We are the Supremacy and our future is nothing but greatness!”
Goldberg smirks once again as he struts back into his locker room, shutting the door behind him. Josh Matthews is silent as the scene fades to black...
