The scene opens at the Manhattan Center, where the seats are jam packed and the crowd is buzzing! The camera pans through the arena, finally landing on Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
Gorilla Monsoon: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to WWF Monday Night Raw! I'm Gorilla Monsoon, here with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, and things are getting interesting here in the World Wrestling Federation folks!
Bobby Heenan: That's right! We got a psycho on the loose, trying to end people's careers, we got some idiot pretending to be Cuban thinking he's better than the IC Champ, and on top of it all, we don't have a WWF Champion!
Gorilla Monsoon: Actually, Brain, all the belts have been vacated, so Shawn Michaels isn't the champion.
Bobby Heenan: You don't know what you're talking about! I never saw him get beat in the ring, have you?
Gorilla Monsoon: No, indeed I have not. Regardless, for those of you who missed it, two weeks ago on WWF Weekly Watch, Mr. McMahon announced the return of the WWF to PPV for In Your House: Massacre on 34th St, live from Madison Square Garden, Sunday December 29th! He also said, Brain, that we may have a clearer idea of the championship situation by then, and that's not that far off!
Bobby Heenan: Well, we definitely need a champ, that's for sure. I just hope it's not some schlub, like that idiot Bret Hart, or that moron Randy Savage!
Gorilla Monsoon: I think both of those men would make fine WWF Champions, and I hope both are considered!
Bobby Heenan: You wouldn't know talent if it walked up to you and kicked you in the rear end.
Gorilla Monsoon: Well, Brain...
The crowd goes into a frenzy of boo's, as Vince McMahon walks out from behind the curtain, the WWF Championship hanging over his shoulder. He struts out onto the stage, followed closely by the President of the World Wrestling Federation, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase.
Gorilla Monsoon: It's Vince McMahon and Ted DiBiase! They're not scheduled to be out here!
Bobby Heenan: Scheduled?! Do you have any idea what you're saying? These guys are the bosses, they can do whatever they want!
Gorilla Monsoon: It'll be interesting to hear what they have to say, Brain!
As they walk down the ramp and into the ring, the crowd gets even louder. Vince walks into the corner and grabs a mic, standing in the center of the ring with DiBiase over his shoulder.
Vince McMahon: Welcome, everyone, to WWF Monday Night Raw! You know, after a couple of weeks, things are starting to feel a little more normal again. It's a good feeling. And you know, with the holidays coming up, all these good feelings are making me feel... a bit generous. You see, there is one thing that doesn't feel quite right to me, and that is the fact that there is currently no World Wrestling Federation Champion. Now, I'm not just going to hand this belt out to just anyone, no no no no no.
He adjusts the belt on his shoulder, raising it up higher for all to see, and rubs his hand over the plate.
Vince McMahon: But, I want our return to PPV to be a big one, so I'll tell you what I am going to do. I am going to hand pick FOUR WWF Superstars, who I believe are deserving of being in consideration for this great honor, to compete in a tournament, with the two winners facing off for the WWF Championship at In Your House! So I suggest everyone bring their A game these next couple of weeks, because I'll be watching VERY closely.
Gorilla Monsoon: What a start to the show, Brain! Who will be in the four man tournament to crown the next WWF Champion?
Bobby Heenan: Well, with less than 3 weeks to go until the PPV, I don't think we'll have to wait too long to find out!
At this news, the crowd starts to transition from boo's to a buzz of chatter, leading into cheers.
Ted DiBiase: I do know one person who will not be in this tournament, Vince! That coward, Hulk Hogan! He'd have to actually show up! HAHAHAHAHA!
Vince laughs at DiBiase's words.
Vince McMahon: That's true, Ted! And even if he did, he'd have no chance of ever getting a title shot! Hulkamania is dead! And let's face it, we all know he's not man enough to ever show his face around here again! So, let's focus on those Superstars who actually have a shot at being the next WWF Champion!
TBC: Hulk Hogan
