LEGEND vs. LEGEND

» PROLOGUE «
The illustrious comeback was not at its best last week as Booker T was on the losing side of his main event match against young technician Charlie Haas. IN a gruelling career resuming match, Booker T and Charlie Haas but everything on the line but only one could be named the victor and last week that was Charlie Haas. Hass targeted the ageing legs of Booker T and after the Haas of Pain was locked in properly after numerous attempts and counters, Booker had no way to get out of it other than to tap out as a result of the horrific pain he was going through. Now Booker, in his second week back under contract any a huge wrestling company, must rebound and prove to the world that he is still one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. This week, by order of Ted DiBiase who has taken over as General Manager for the week in place of the absent Roddy Piper, Booker T will be in yet another huge, career changing match as he takes on the definite future Hall of Famer, the Icon, the Main Event, The Showstoppa’, Mr. Wrestlemania, The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels. However we will not see one of our huge highly anticipated technical wrestling matches between the pair, we will see them take it to the limit as they stay with a 10m diameter of one another in this match; a Texas Bullrope Match. The loser will be bloodied and beaten but the victor will be able to call themselves the Legend of Legends and they will stand tall as the last man standing. Friday Night Fusion produces some of the greatest wrestling of recent memory and thi upcoming show will produce yet another one of those huge matches. This is a night to remember as legends go at it for the chance to earn a spot as a future WiW Champion. This officially shows us who is the true Legend of Legends and tonight we see who the better in-ring competitor is. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Friday Night Fusion and we will see SHAWN MICHAELS vs. BOOKER T!!!

» SCENE ONE – MEETING AN OLD FRIEND «
Back in 1989 a new young talent burst onto the professional wrestling scene. Originating from Houston, Texas, Booker T was introduced to the wrestling scene by his trainer Scott Casey, the man who single-handedly moved Booker through his numerous title reigns at the height of WCW and the WWE. Booker was taught everything by Casey who is the man responsible for putting Booker into our wrestling memories. Casey pushed Booker along after a tough childhood only to make him one of the biggest stars in the business. Booker T owes a lot of his achievements within the wrestling industry to his trainer Scott Casey and since Booker’s wrestling career is back in motion what a great time to return and pay him a very special visit.
The scene opens up back in Houston, Texas, the home of Booker T. We enter into a large house supposedly owned by the diggin’ sucka Booker and this became more apparent as we closed in on the front room of the house where the illustrious figure of Booker T sat in a leather armchair. Booekr, who was dressed casually in the comfort of his own home, sat with a small smirk on his face as the television set flickered in the corner of the room as he looked on. It appeared that he was the only person in the vicinity but suddenly that was incorrect as a much higher pitched voice could be heard to shout in to Booker from another room.

» ”QUEEN” SHARMELL » ”booker’s.wife“ -- BOOKER!!! You want fries with your dinner or not baby!!

Booker was seen to jump slightly as Sharmell shouted in to him but he could not go on for a night without his beloved fries. Booker replied almost instantly.

» BOOKER T » ”can.you.dig.it.sucka“ -- yeah please babe!! Sharmell you know when Scott is coming round??

Booker was obvisouly referring to his longtime trainer Scott Casey. Booker owed him everything associated with his wrestling career and life and he knew that was the least he could offer Scott. However it seemed that they were both unsure as to when his arrival would be.

» ”QUEEN” SHARMELL » ”booker’s.wife“ -- sorry baby I can’t remember. I think he said sometime around 6o’clock but I’m not sure. Does that time ring any bells Booker??

» BOOKER T » ”can.you.dig.it.sucka“ -- no don’t remember sorry babe. He should be here for dinner though right??

» ”QUEEN” SHARMELL » ”booker’s.wife“ -- yeah I think so babe. Dinner should be ready in about a half hour or so, so let’s hope he turns up. haha

Booker smirked as he turned his focus back to the television screen in front of him. Booker was only focused for a short amount of time again as he was interrupted again this time by a knock on the front door of the house. Booker turned his attention immediately to that knock that was made as he rose to his feet and made his way over to the door. Was this to be the expected visitor Scott Casey or someone else?? Booker opened the large wooden door and was greeted with the smiling face of Scott Casey the one man who Booker longed to see once again. Both Scott and Booker embraced as they greeted each other and as they did so, Sharmell made an appearance from the kitchen. She welcomed Scott with a huge smile and kissed his right and left cheek before embracing him also. They all seemed extremely pleased to see each other once more.

» BOOKER T » ”can.you.dig.it.sucka“ -- scott how you doin’ dawg?? It’s been too long ain’t it babe??!!

Sharmell broke from the hug as she replied to Booker.

» ”QUEEN” SHARMELL » ”booker’s.wife“ -- it sure has baby, and its great to see you again Scott. Hope you’re hungry...hahaha..dinner will be ready shortly. AHH what’s that burning??!! Sorry Scott gotta go!!

Both Booker and Scott smirked as Sharmell ran off towards the kitchen once more as they both made their way into the front room where Booker took up his original seat and Scott took up a seat on the sofa just opposite him. They were both pleased to see each other again!!

» BOOKER T » ”can.you.dig.it.sucka“ -- so scott how you been man?? Been up to much since you left me??

» SCOTT CASEY » ”the.man.who.made.booker“ -- well to be honest Booker I’m still stuck down at the Luxor hotel/casino in Las Vegas and it’s still great fun after twelve years watching all the pundits go past day after day. I still miss the old days between us though mate!!

Booker acknowledged that it was all due to the work and commitment of Scott Casey that he was here in the situation he was in today. Booker smirked from Casey’s comments before replying.

» BOOKER T » ”can.you.dig.it.sucka“ -- now scott get a new job man!! You been there for too long!! Hate those casinos anyway, waste of time man.

» SCOTT CASEY » ”the.man.who.made.booker“ -- speak for yourself Booker hahaha. Plenty of those all day gamblers would argue with that comment. Hahaha. Booker I saw you on Friday Night against Haas. You should have had that one done well before he got back into it mate.

Booker seemed to agree with the comments made by Casey and he himself knew that he should have easily shrugged off Charlie Haas this past week on Fusion. Booker was annoyed at himself for the loss but he knew that this week everything would have to change.

» BOOKER T » ”can.you.dig.it.sucka“ -- scott I agree totally man. I had that son of a bitch beaten down on the mat but couldn’t take advantage of it. maybe it was a mistake to come back cos I am getting to old for this kind of --

Booker was cut off by Scott Casey who seemed to completely disagree with Booker’s comments.

» SCOTT CASEY » ”the.man.who.made.booker“ -- now booker c’mon you can’t believe that. You are still and always will be one of the biggest wrestling names in this god damn business. This is like the biggest return we have seen for a while you can’t just throw it away man. C’mon you really believe you’re not ready for this stuff??

» BOOKER T » ”can.you.dig.it.sucka“ -- scott I will not say yes or no at this point man. It is too early to tell but this week I will prove to myself that I am ready to return to this and hit down any sucka who will attempt to stand in my way. Now can they dig that??

Booker now had a concentrated, determined look on his face as he looked forward to this week’s edition of Friday Night Fusion.

» ”QUEEN” SHARMELL » ”booker’s.wife“ -- BABY??!!! Dinner is ready now. Thanks baby!!

Booker and Scott both turned by the voice of Sharmell coming from outside in the kitchen. The camera pulled back from the scene exiting the room and eventually the house as both Booker and Casey rose to their feet and left the room.

» SCENE TWO – LEGEND vs. LEGEND BEGINS «
It is that time of the week again, it is time for Friday Night Fusion. The safety commercials are rolling and the WiW Fusion Roster is on hold to prepare to put on a show of a lifetime. The crowd are on hold and as the safety commercial ends the camera shows the Fusion general Manager’s office but most of the room was taken up by the figure of one Million Dollar man who had a huge bold smile across his face. He gave a short laugh before speaking down the camera lens addressing the thousands of fans inside the arena and around the world watching at home.

» TED DIBIASE » ”million.dollar.man“ -- hahahahaha!!! Welcome once again to Friday Night Fusion. Hahaha. Tonight we have a huge match as the $1,000,000 Challenge begins with four matches tonight as well as a huge main event tag team match. Also on the card we provide possibly the biggest match in recent memory. Match six tonight will be contested with the stipulation of a Texas Bullrope and in that match will be two of the biggest stars in the wrestling business. Tonight we make history, hahaha, when Shawn Michaels steps into the ring to face BOOKER T!!

The fans erupted into a shower of cheers and screams of joy as the laughing figure of Ted DiBiase faded into the back as the title sequence for Friday Night Fusion rolled. It was only a short time later that it had ended and the pyrotechnics blasted out of the stage area as the fans cheered their heads off inside the John LaBatt Centre in London, Ontario. The camera swung around the fans as they held their signs aloft before going to the ringside area where Michael Cole and Tazz sat behind their announce table.

» MICHAEL COLE » ”the.fusion.leader“ -- welcome ladies and gentlemen to yet another edition of Fusion, this week coming to you live from London, Ontario, Canada. I am Michael Cole alongside my partner Tazz!!

The fans continue to roar on as the camera moves to the side where Tazz is in full view.

» TAZZ » ”human.suplex.machine“ -- thank you Michael and yes this is Fusion. What a night it will be as well!! What a night of matches we have and a hgue announcement there by Ted DiBiase in charge of Fusion here tonight!! Michaels and Booker??!!

» MICHAEL COLE » ”the.fusion.leader“ -- that’s absolutely right Tazz we are in for one hell of a hellacious match, but right now we cross to the back with Jeremy Borash to bring us some news regarding that for match here tonight. JB!!

Jeremy Borash is dressed in his best beige suit accompanied by a pair of jeans as he stood in front of the Fusion titantron read to introduce his very special guest. A grin was across his face as he stared down the camera lens before conducting his interview.

» JEREMY BORASH » ”the.fusion.interviewer“ -- thank you Michael Cole and yes ladies and gentlemen I have with me a very, very special guest. Last week here on Fusion, it was Booker T who shocked the world when he returned to the wrestling ring and once again this week he will make history when he takes on Shawn Michaels in a Texas Bullrope match, possibly one of the biggest matches of this decade. Please help me welcome that very man right now; ladies and gentlemen it is BOOKER T!!!!

The fans took the roof off the arena as they saw the figure of Booker T enter the shot. The fans cheered and chants begun to ring round the arena as Booker smirked at the response. Booker T was notably happy to back, even after last week’s defeat at the hands of Charlie Haas, and was extremely happy to get the reception that he did from his brilliant fans inside the arena.

» JEREMY BORASH » ”the.fusion.interviewer“ -- hey booker!! Nice to see ya nice again!!

» BOOKER T » ”can.you.dig.it.sucka“ -- you too JB, you’re looking great dawg!! haha

Borash gained a small embarrassed smile as he held the microphone up to his lips once again looking to continue this interview with Booker T who stood tall over him.

» JEREMY BORASH » ”the.fusion.interviewer“ -- tonight Booker you take on one of, if not the biggest name associated with professional wrestling as you go head-to-head, toe-to-toe with the Icon, Shawn Michaels. Just wanted to get your thoughts on your match here tonight??

» BOOKER T » ”can.you.dig.it.sucka“ -- I have to say JB, great question man, Now, tonight I take on the Heartbreak Kid, The Main Event, the Showstoppa’, Mr. Wrestlemania, and many many more names. Shawn Michaels is at the top of his game as he has been for many many years but tonight a real legend will come to the front of the queue. Tonight that match is a Legend vs. Legend match and I will walk out the victor. JB this match is against no normal or mortal man, this is Shawn Michaels I meet in that Fusion ring here tonight. We have crossed the boundaries and not just up north here to Ontario, Canada, but to the next level. This night will define the true legends in this company and this business. Tonight, I Booker T create history by defeating Shawn Michaels!! You dig??!!

» JEREMY BORASH » ”the.fusion.interviewer“ -- wise words from you there Booker but I just wanted your thoughts on the match’s stipulation here tonight. A Texas Bullrope match?? That’s surely going to be a gruelling contest for both you and Shawn Michaels in your ageing times. Your thoughts Booker??

Booker took in a huge deep breath before replying to Borash’s questions!!

» BOOKER T » ”can.you.dig.it.sucka“ -- JB tonight as I have already said man, I make history!! Now yeah more history will be made with this match stipulation but you know what dawg?? It doesn’t matter what match type I go into here tonight the outcome will be the same. Tonight I am joined to Shawn Michaels for the entire match on a bell rope and it will not end pretty for both us but there is one thing I can ensure man, and that is me, Booker T, walking out of London, Ontario, Canada, the victor!! Now CAN YOU DIG THAT.....SUCKA??!!

The fans screamed and cheered as Booker intensely stared down the camera lens before leaving the shot leaving a perplexed Jeremy Borash standing alone in the backstage area as the scene faded to black leading into the commercials.
