RAW, WE’RE TAKING OVER!

When the words ‘GREATEST FACTION EVER’ come to mind, who exactly do you think about? Surely there is only one name that can fit into that category. To be the best, you have to have played your part in the transition of the business. Over the past several years, many stables have surfaced to become known as those ‘LEGENDARY STABLES’, but at the same time, many stables have been formed that never really took off, stables that never really made an impact or contributed to the transition of the sport of professional wrestling. Among those legendary stables, you have the Four Horseman, a stable infamous for it’s heel heat amongst the fans and containing arguably the greatest superstars of all time. You also have the new World order, a stable who built its reputation off of it’s bad backstage and in ring behaviour. How about Evolution? Containing the past, the present and the future in it, surely Evolution is the greatest? Other stables such as; the Ministry of Darkness, the Corporation, Two Man Power Trip, The Nation of Domination, The Hart Foundation. But out of all of those stables, surely one of them takes that coveted spot at the greatest, well the answer to that is no. The greatest stable of all time is surely Degeneration-X, a stable of degenerates who did what they want and did it when they wanted. These guys pushed the envelope for what is suitable for family television and really made the business transcend from a family orientated product, into a product for people of any age and any background. That stable consisted originally of Shawn Michaels, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Joanie “CHYNA” Laurer, “RAVISHING” Rick Rude. But Rick Rude departed from the WWF, he was replaced by X-Pac and the stable took full swing, bringing on the New Age Outlaws and it seemed that nobody could stop them. But it was the injury to Shawn Michaels, the departure or Rick Rude (god bless his soul), the final exit from Chyna and X-Pac leaving DX and taking his own direction. It seemed that Degeneration-X was gone forever, but it wasn’t. Now, the stable that fans have waited for years for the return of Degeneration X… and now they’re ready. Are you? Are you ready? I said… ARE YOU READY?!

The scene fades in, we’re about 30 minutes into a live WWE event. The fans have just seen the climatic conclusion to match when the intermission begins. As the crowd prepare themselves to leave for about 15 minutes, so they can pick up merchandise and grab a bite to eat, the Titantron flickers to the surprise of the 6000 strong crowd. They immediately glue themselves back to their seats, waiting for the Titantron to show something. Then, standing in front of a Television Screen with RAW planted on it is none other then “THE KING OF KINGS” Triple H & “THE HEARTBREAK KID” Shawn Michaels. The crowd erupt into cheers at the sight of Triple H & Shawn Michaels, combining to make the ever-popular Degeneration-X. Shawn Michaels is decked out in a black short sleeve Degeneration-X shirt, sporting the classic logo on it. He’s got a pair of light blue denim jeans. His accomplice, Triple H is donning the same black DX t-shirt, but instead his is sleeveless. He also has a pair of denim jeans on, but his pair are far darker coloured then Shawn Michaels.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: Ladies and Gentleman… this coming Monday Night. I have a match. A match that will determine whether I, Hunter Hearst Helmsley will get a shot at the WWE Championship. When I win, I have two words for you Shawn… BOOZE AND BROADS!

Shawn Michael’s mouth drops, he pretend to look oh so shocked at that comment and he looks over at his best friend, Triple H looking offended at that comment.

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: Hunter! You’re a married man my friend. Shame on you!

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: It was a joke… I was only kidding, man.

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: Ah, I’m sure you were.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: I was just kidding! Come on, I’m married to Stephanie McMahon. She’s the hottest woman in the whole world, I don’t need no other lady to satisfy my manly needs.

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: Damn, good point. You always come up with good points, Hunter.

HBK stamps his foot on the ground, as if he’s actually very angry that Triple H came up with a good response to his statement.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: It has recently come to our attention that well… myself and Shawn have entered matches in the past without an actual game plan. It’s come to our attention that Shawn and myself see each and every match that we enter, a mere pushover. We have been told by the powers that be that we need to focus more, so Shawn and I, being the poster boys that we are, have decided to oblige.

Triple H clears his throat, he then begins to talk about his opponents, rather then crack jokes like he normally would.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: First of all, Batista.

Shawn Michaels burst out into laughter. A puzzles Triple H looks over at him.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: Did I say something funny?

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: Yeah… you said Batista.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: Yes, he’s one of my opponents.

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: Are you kidding me? I didn’t even know he wrestled anymore.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: Heh, I guess it is pretty funny.

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: Yeah, but I mean… you’ve got to face Batista, The Crock & Hedge and I get John Morrison. Talk about lucky, it looks like it’s going to be a HBK versus Triple H final.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: I guess so, but that means that both of us will face eachother.

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: For the WWE title.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: Shawn, may the best man win.

The degenerates shake one another’s hand. A smile on either of their faces.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: So yeah, like Batista… I made you who you are and you know something… I’m going to END IT! This whole, charade of you being this beast and this animal… drop the act. You’re not fighting a curtain jerker from SmackDown! You’re not in some do or die match with Edge. You’re stepping into the ring with the GAME, and you know something. This game is one you CANNOT win.

A serious looks spreads across the face of Triple H, no more joking, but more seriousness.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: You know what Batista… I’m done with making stars. I’m done creating people’s careers; from now on this is about ME! So Batista, you are going to get into the ring with me and one pedigree is all it takes. Just one pedigree to end your career, so get ready ‘beast’ because “THE GAME” is coming after you.

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: What about The Rock. The most electrifying man in sports entertainment.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: The most electrifying man on sports entertainment? That’s like being the smartest kid with down syndrome. What kind of guy calls himself the most electrifying man, I’ll tell you who… a Hollywood Failure. Shawn, did you ever catch any of his movies?

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: Rock made movies?

Shawn looks very confused, not knowing that Rock was in fact a Hollywood titan.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: Sure, he made The Scorpion King, Walking Tall… Gridiron Gang.

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: Pfft, never head of ‘em.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: So Rock, me and you… we have our own history. We’ve had our shots at one another in the past, I know you like the back of my hand, what you’ve won… who you’ve faced, who you’ve beaten, who you’ve lost too. But this time, this fight isn’t just any old fight. This fight is the only chance I have to get my WWE Championship back, and no catchphrase spewing Samoan is going to get in my way.

Triple H turns around for a brief second. He pulls out a pair of shades and a fake wig throwing them on his eyes and his hair, attempting to be The Rock. Shawn Michaels looks at him and cracks up with laughter.

THE PEOPLE’S TRAMP (BULL) THE CROCK: FINALLY… THE CROCK HAS COME BACK… from the bathroom.

The Crock pauses.

THE PEOPLE’S TRAMP (BULL) THE CROCK: JUST BRING IT!

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: Bring what, Crock?

THE PEOPLE’S TRAMP (BULL) THE CROCK: The question you JABRONI NIPPLE PIE HAIR!

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: Questions?

THE PEOPLE’S TRAMP (BULL) THE CROCK: Infact, The Crock has a question for you. How many times have you been with a girl? You know, how many times have you touched a girl, kissed a girl, stroked a girl ever so gently?

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: I’d say, about…

THE PEOPLE’S TRAMP (BULL) THE CROCK: IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW MANY TIMES! Because The Crock means never… AND THE CROCK MEANS NEVER… EVER… even talked to a girl yet.

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: Woah, Crock… I thought the chicks used to dig you.

THE PEOPLE’S TRAMP (BULL) THE CROCK: Shawn, The Crock wants to know something.

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: He does? And what would you like to know Crock?

THE PEOPLE’S TRAMP (BULL) THE CROCK: How’s your lips?

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: They’re great thanks Crock.

THE PEOPLE’S TRAMP (BULL) THE CROCK: THE CROCK IS GONNA SMACK THOSE LIPS RIGHT OFF YOUR FACE!

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: Crock, stop… you’re making me blush. Now what about your amazing talented and good looking opponent for this week’s RAW, well one of them at least.

THE PEOPLE’S TRAMP (BULL) THE CROCK: THE CROCK SAYS THIS… that Triple H may be the greatest thing to EVET step foot on God’s green earth, The Crock will still get a move in.

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: I never said you wouldn’t, Crock.

THE PEOPLE’S TRAMP (BULL) THE CROCK: I swear to you Shawn… and I sweat to the HUNDREDS… AND HUNDREDS OF THE CROCKS FANS that I will get not one… but TWO PUNCHES IN ON THE TRIPLE H! IF YA SMELLLL-LALALALALALA-WU-TU-WALLA-WALLA-BING-BANG… WHAT THE CROCK… IS COOKIN!

Triple H removes the wig and the glasses tossing them aside.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: Crocky… just like Batista… you’re going down. And if you’re not down with that… then we got two words for YA…

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: HOLD UP!

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: What for?

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: You forgot Edge.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: Edge?

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: You know, Edge from the Cutting Edge. The Rated R Superstar…

Both Shawn & Triple H both look at eachother exchanging glances as if they’re ever so worried about facing Edge.

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: Face it, Edge, Christian did carry you throughout the whole little Team E&C days. You’ve never been able to make it big on your own. So after Christian dumped your ass, you decided to go solo. You think you’re big and bad now because you are all of a sudden Rated R? Ohhhh… I’m shaking in my little Degeneration X booties, Edge. What, were you just finally allowed by your parents to go to rated R movies so now you think you are some kind of rebel? Well, you might be Rated R… but Shawn and I are rated X… X… X!

THE HEART BREAK KID (HBK) SHAWN MICHAELS: And when I get into that ring with old John Morrison… and I beat his ass too. Me and Hunter are going to show you why we are…

THE KING OF KINGS (HHH) TRIPLE H: THAT… DAMN…GOOD! And if you’re not down with that then you can…

DEGENERATES (DX) DEGENERATION-X: SUCK IT!

The DX theme tune hits over the P.A as the fans erupt into cheers. The scene fades out.
