Scene 1
" Odd Partners... "
The scene opens up in Goldberg’s locker room. Goldberg is seen in his wrestling gear, pacing back and forth. His breathing is very loud and he stares down at the ground, obviously pissed. He walks to the plaster wall and slams his fist right through it, making a large hole. Screams and yells are heard from the people on the other side. Goldberg seems to take no notice as he begins to pace back and forth. The door swings open as none other than the Intercontinental Champion, Booker T, walks in. Goldberg clenches his fists, trying to restrain himself from kicking Booker’s ass. Booker has a big grin on his face, with the Intercontinental title on his shoulder.
| ‘Five-Time WCW Champion’ Booker T | “Whass happenin’ dawg?”
Goldberg stares deep into Booker T as if he were staring a hole right through him.
| ‘Five-Time WCW Champion’ Booker T | “Hey man... don’t be like dat. We’re partners, but we’re not gonna win if we’re not on the same page.”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Booker, let this be a warning to you. Tonight and for tonight only, we will be partners... but the second after our match... after we defeat Eugene and Orton... then nothing changes. You’ll still be the one who took my belt from me... and you’ll still be next.”
| ‘Five-Time WCW Champion’ Booker T | “That’s fine. ‘Cause after we win, you’ll still be the sucka that I defeated.”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Yeah, you beat me... I mean you and Raven, that is. You know damn well that you wouldn’t have stood a chance had it not been for Raven...”
Goldberg and Booker T go nose to nose, staring each other down. Just then the door swings open as Coach walks in.
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “What’s all the commotion about?”
Neither Goldberg or Booker respond to Coach’s question.
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Well, since you two seem to be getting along so well, how about an interview?”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Yeah...”
Goldberg walks away from Booker and walks over to Coach. Booker follows behind.
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Well, first of all, the biggest question on my mind... well, actually the biggest question on everybody’s mind... will you two be able to co-exist? After all, it was only just about three days ago that you two fought each other.”
| ‘Five-Time WCW Champion’ Booker T | “I’ll willing to cooperate for the good of the team, Coach. I’m not about to lose to those two suckas, Eugene and Orton. Goldberg can count on me to carry my weight...”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Goldberg?”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Yes... Booker and I will co-exist for the simple fact that we are partners. We’re damn sure not friends... but we are partners until we defeat Eugene and Orton. It was only a little over a week ago that Eugene defeated me thanks to help from Shane McMahon. Do you remember what I said after that night, Coach?”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Actually no... I don’t recall what you said.”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “I said that Eugene would get exactly what he deserves. I promised the entire world that I would payback Eugene... that I would make Eugene bleed much like he made me bleed. I have that chance tonight and I am not about to blow it because of Booker T. I know that I am facing Booker T in a tag team match next Monday on Xplosion... so I can wait to get my revenge until then.”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Goldberg, this question is for you. Do you want a rematch for the Intercontinental title? Halloween Massacre is just a few weeks away...”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “Coach, what the hell kind of question is that? I want that rematch more than I want anything else right now. And I deserve a rematch... but I never received a World title rematch, so I’m not sure if I will get one. But, Booker, you better keep that title nice and close... ‘cause I promise you that it won’t remain with you for long. One way or another... you will lose that title.”
| ‘Five-Time WCW Champion’ Booker T | “Tell me you didn’t just say that... tell me you did not just say that. Goldy, I have already beaten you once... and I believe me when I say that I will do it again.”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Also, Goldberg, what about Raven?”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “What about Raven? What about Raven! Raven is nothing more than a pathetic excuse of a wrestler. Raven is the one who cost me my title so you can be damn sure that I’m coming for him. Next week on Xplosion, Raven better bring that same steel chair he hit me with on Xplosion... ‘cause he is going to need it!”
| ‘Cocky Interviewer’ Coach | “Now what about Orton and Eugene, your opponents for Impact?”
| ‘Five-Time WCW Champion’ Booker T | “A few weeks ago, I left the Corporate Alliances. Because of that, I found myself on the receiving ends of many beat downs. This is my chance to pay the Corporate Alliance back and I plan on making good use of it. Those suckas won’t last five minutes in the ring with the five time... five time... five time... five time... five time WCW Champion, Booker T!”
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “I will rip Orton and Eugene apart... and I will show no mercy. I will take up all this aggression that has built up inside of me over the last three days, and I will unleash it tonight. Booker, if your smart, you’ll stay out of my way tonight. I don’t need your help to win the match... and I don’t need you screwing it up for me. Orton... Eugene... get ready boys! Who’s next? You’re...”
| ‘Five-Time WCW Champion’ Booker T | “Now, can you dig that?! SUCKAAAA!!!”
Goldberg looks at Booker T, who has just interrupted him. They go nose to nose once again, staring each other down.
| ‘Da Man’ Goldberg | “YOU’RE NEXT!!!”
The scene fades as Booker and Goldberg stare each other down...
