Setting: WWF Smackdown, New Orleans, LA
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley is walking toward the ring when she is ambushed by Trish Stratus. Trish sits on Steph's stomach and just unloads on her, throwing punches and clawing at her.
Steph (shocked): "Trish, what's your problem?"
Trish (angry): "I'll tell you what my problem is. Why do you keep punishing me by sending me out to get beat up by those WOW women? You've beaten me on PPV (WWE No Way Out 2001). You and your father have already humiliated me by dumping sewage on me, and making me crawl like a dog and strip in the ring. The question is, what's _your_ problem? Why are you doing this to me?"
Steph: "Let me up and I'll tell you."
Trish stands up and helps Steph do the same.
Steph: "Listen, I didn't like seeing you try to get so cozy with my father, Mr. McMahon, or my husband, HHH. You have no business trying to get close with them. I'm doing this to teach you a lesson, and to remind you that I am the dominant female."
Trish (exasperated, rolling her eyes): "Okay, you're the dominant female, whatever. I think you're just trying to avoid having to face the WOW women. In fact, I'm challenging you to a match tonight. If I beat you, you have to face one of the WOW women on RAW this Monday."
Steph: "And if, I mean, when I beat you, you have to face two of the WOW women in a handicap match on RAW."
Before we go to this guaranteed ***** classic, we go to the ring for another match.
Mixed Tag Team Match: D-Lo Brown and "The Total Athlete" Roxy Powers vs. Test and Tori.
Lillian: "This is a mixed tag team match and it is scheduled for one fall."
("This is a Test" plays)
LG: "Making his way to the ring, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 282 lbs., Test!"
Crowd is apathetic
("The Power" by Snap! plays)
LG: "His tag team partner, from Portland, OR, Tori!"
Mixed reaction.
("The Real Deal" plays)
LG: "And their opponents, first from New Jersey, weighing in at 275 lbs., D-Lo Brown!"
HUGE reaction for D-Lo.
("Independent Woman [Pt. 1]" plays)
LG: "And his tag team partner, from San Jose, CA, representing the WOW Revolution, 'The Total Athlete' Roxy Powers!"
Crowd chants "Roxy, Roxy!"
The match starts with D-Lo and Test. D-Lo blitzes Test with clotheslines and slams to start. D-Lo misses a shoulderblock and Test takes over with his lumbering offense. D-Lo comes back and takes Test down, allowing D-Lo the opportunity to trash talk him. Test cheapshots D-Lo and tags in Tori. D-Lo responds by tagging in Roxy. Despite her beating from Roxy and Thug on RAW, Tori seems motivated by being in the ring again, as they put on a clinic. The crowd is really getting into this, as both women utilize good mat-wrestling and aerial techniques. JR observes that Tori should have been wrestling like this for a while, but maybe she never had the opportunity. Attempted double-clothesline leads to the double-KO spot. Race, well crawl, to tag, as the men come back into the ring. D-Lo wipes out Test, hitting the Sky High and the Lo-Down for the pin.
LG: "Here are your winners, the team of D-Lo Brown and 'The Total Athlete' Roxy Powers."
(Author's note: I originally was going to have Roxy pin Test, but I decided to go with D-Lo getting the pin, since he needs a win, and Roxy pinning Test accomplishes nothing.)
After the match, Test gets up and confronts Tori. He asks her why she didn't stop the pin. Tori tries to explain that she was exhausted and is just trying to escape from the much larger Test. Test is about to attack her, but D-Lo runs back in and Sky Highs him again to make the save. Tori thanks D-Lo for saving her. In an act of good sportsmanship, Roxy helps Tori to the back.
[Author's note: No men beating up women in MY booking.]
Fast-forward to Steph-Trish.
("Welcome to the Jungle" plays, as the Huntress joins the commentary team.)
LG: "Please welcome. representing the WOW Revolution, Jungle Grrrl!"
JR: "We'd like to welcome Jungle Grrrl of the WOW Revolution. Are you out here to scout possible competition for RAW on Monday?"
JG: "Please, you think I'm afraid of these two? I'm just here to see them tear each other apart."
"The Billion-Dollar Princess" Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley vs. Trish Stratus
LG: "This next match is scheduled for one fall."
("My Time" plays)
LG: "Introducing first, from Greenwich, CT, she is one of the owners of the World Wrestling Federation, 'The Billion-Dollar Princess' Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley!"
Crowd boos.
(Trish's music plays)
LG: "Her opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Trish Stratus!"
Mixed reaction, though the crowd pops for her sexy outfit.
We get a catfight right away. Rolling around, scratching, pulling hair, banging each other's head against the mat, yelling, it's all here. The ref is uncertain how to call this, so he just lets it happen.
JR: "Remember, if Trish wins, Stephanie has to fight one of the WOW women on RAW. But if Steph wins, Trish has to face two of the WOW women in a handicap match on RAW. Looking at how they are punishing each other so far, I don't think either of them will even make it to RAW."
Trish and Steph continue their catfight until Trish bails to the floor. Steph follows and attacks her out there. Steph hits Trish's face against the announce table a few times. They go back into the ring for more crappy brawling. Somewhere in this, the ref gets knocked out. Jungle Grrrl leaves the announce table, climbs to the top rope, and hits the Jungle Splash on Steph. Jungle Grrrl then puts Trish on top and wakes up the ref, who counts the pin.
Lillian: "Here is your winner, Trish Stratus!"
JG: "Hey, Trish. That wasn't for you. That was for me. Stephanie, I'll see you on Monday. Respect the laws of the jungle!"
Steph has a look of fear on her face.
Trish celebrates her win by posing, then since she won and was not humiliated, she strips down to bra and thong, and struts around for a while.
End of show.
