Live from the Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania . . . this is . . . SHOOTING . . . STARS . . . WRESTLING !!!!The screen goes black and we hear the fans chanting ‘S-S-W! S-S-W!’
The opening montage starts us off as ‘TILL I COLLAPSE’ by Eminem hits. The camera comes up on the crowd pumping their fists and chanting, and the strobe lights go off on the ramp. The camera scans the crowd, focusing in on several signs in the audience. Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan are at the announce table and put over tonight’s show, which is scheduled to have an appearance by the UWF World Heavyweight Champion BRUISER BRODY!
‘BREAK THE WALLS DOOOOOOOOWN!’ and this brings out Chris Jericho. Jericho appears very confident despite the fact that Brody is scheduled to be here tonight.
Jericho – ‘Despite what all of you parasites may think, I am not concerned in the least about Bruiser Brody supposedly being here tonight. As a matter of fact, I am looking forward to it. If anything, it should be Bruiser Brody who is nervous because sometime tonight he will have to stand face to face with me. And in that moment, the fraudulent farce of his championship reign will be revealed as merely smoke and mirrors and he will be exposed as a phony he is for the world to see. You see, I am the one that should be standing where Bruiser Brody is today. I am the one that rightfully won the King of the Ring, and I am the one that should be standing here tonight as your world heavyweight champion. BECAUSE I AM THE BEST IN THE WORLD AT WHAT I DO! But rather than come out here and wallow in self pity like all of you hypocrites would do, I am here tonight to expose Bruiser Brody for the fraud that he is and show each and every one of you that this ‘aura’ that you have created around him is nothing more than smoke and mirrors concocted by Paul Boesch and the UWF Board of Governors to cover their own mediocrity.’‘HERE COMES THE MOOOOOOONEY!’ and out comes Shane McMahon. Shane says that Brody has not arrived yet, but rest assured he will be here.
Jericho – ‘So basically you interrupted me to tell me something that the whole world already knows . . . BRUISER BRODY IS AFRAID OF CHRIS JERICHO! Everyone saw what I did to Brody right here last week! As a matter of fact Shane, I am glad that you are out here. Because, as the No. 1 contender to the UWF World title, I am demanding that you grant me a title shot against Bruiser Brody! Do you understand what I am saying to you right now?’Shane says that they all know that was not really Brody last week, but he still has good news for Jericho. He pulls out a contract and tells Jericho that it is for a world title match against Brody . . . RIGHT HERE NEXT WEEK!!!! Jericho starts to say something, but Shane says that there is more. Shane says that this could be the most important match in the history of SSW, so to make sure that nothing gets out of hand he made a phone call and is bringing in a special referee!!!! He introduces the newest signee to SSW, and the special referee for the match next week . . .
. . . SHAWN MICHAELS!!!! . . .
HBK comes out to a tremendous pop as he dances his way to the ring. Jericho does not look happy.
Jericho – ‘Shane, if you want to continue to inflate your own ego by thinking you are going to ‘ensure’ anything, be my guest. You want to bring in a referee, that is fine with me. But let me make one thing perfectly clear to you (points at Michaels). If you do anything but call this match right down the middle, if you try to screw me over in any way . . . I will hurt you!’HBK interrupts and tells Jericho to calm down. He has been brought in to do a job, and that job is to referee this match. That is exactly what he is going to do because he is the only person that can. He says that there is a new sheriff in town . . . and that is the ‘Heartbreak Kid’ Shawn Michaels!!!! HBK takes the contract out of Shane McMahon’s hands and tells Jericho that tonight he is going to make this contract official. HBK’s music hits and he dances out of the ring with the contract in his hands as Shane and Jericho are left standing in the ring.

The beatdown of Beth and Lee continues until the US Champion Trish Stratus runs down and chases them off.
IN THE BACK: AJ Styles confronts Shane McMahon in the back and demands that he suspend CM Punk for what he did to him last week.

Shawn Michaels’ music hits and HBK comes out to the ring carrying a clipboard. He comes out to the ring and grabs the microphone.
HBK – ‘You know, last week when I was sitting at home and got the call from Shane McMahon asking me for a favor, I had no idea what he needed. But I jumped at the opportunity to come here. When I got here and found out that he wanted me to step in and be the special enforcer for what could be the most important match in SSW history, I looked at him and said ‘no one in their right mind would do this’. Lucky for you, ole HBK is nowhere near being in his right mind. You see, there is only one man crazy enough to do this gig, and that is Shawn Michaels. But now there is a new sheriff in town, and it starts tonight because in my hands I have the contract to next week’s world title match. And I am the one that is going to get this baby signed, sealed and delivered.’‘BREAK THE WALLS DOOOOOOWN!’ and Chris Jericho interrupts.
Jericho – ‘I can tell already that you are letting this ‘special enforcer’ nonsense go to your head Michaels. This is my show. This is my moment. My advice to you is to stay out of my way. Your only purpose in life is to make the 3 count and raise my hand in victory, proclaiming me the NEW UWF World Heavyweight Champion!!!! I am warning you Michaels, do your job or you are going to get hurt.’HBK says that he has heard that from a lot of guys before. You see, he has been the World Champion. He has been to where Jericho wants to go, and he doesn’t know if Jericho has what it takes! HBK earned his shot by winning the Royal Rumble, not by complaining so much that people got tired of hearing it. He did it by being a man. Until he has that title around his waist, Jericho will never be ‘THE MAN’. You can tell Jericho is pissed by this comment, but he does not have time to react when ‘BAD TO THE BONE’ by George Thorogood hits and out comes the UWF World Champ Bruiser Brody along with Sir Oliver Humperdink!!!!
Brody hits the ring ‘Hussing’ and barking, but Jericho stands unmoving at the podium. Jericho jerks the contract out of HBK’s hand and signs it. Humperdink tells Jericho that he just signed his own death warrant. Brody takes the contract and signs it as well.
Jericho – ‘Now that your fate has been sealed, I want to enlighten you to something. I am not afraid of you. You may have been able to fool everyone else, you may have the entire UWF Board of Governors in your corner, but you have not fooled me. I am the best in the world at what I do, and next week I am going to do exactly what I did to you at King of the Ring, and that is embarrass you and prove to the world that you are nothing but a fraud. Do you understand what I am saying to you right now????’Brody responds with a big boot that knocks Jericho to the mat! He scoops him up for the GTS, but Jericho rakes the eyes and slips off the back . . . LOW BLOW ON BRODY! Jericho grabs the UWF title . . . BELT SHOT TAKES OUT HUMPERDINK!!!! Jericho goes to hit Brody, but HBK tries to stop him . . . BELT SHOT LAYS OUT HBK!!!! Jericho measures Brody . . . NAILS HIM WITH THE BELT AS WELL!!!!

ONE MAN CON-CHAIR-TO!!!! Jericho smiles, admiring his handi-work, but then stares in amazement as Brody starts to get up again!!!! Jericho smiles, then drops the chair . . . CODEBREAKER PUTS BRODY DOWN AGAIN!!!! This time he is not moving. Jericho holds up the UWF world title . . .
JOE ROGAN – ‘Jericho has taken out Bruiser Brody! Are we looking at the next UWF World Champion????’Jericho tosses the belt down on top of Brody and turns around . . . RIGHT INTO THE SWEET CHIN MUSIC!!!! HBK stands over Jericho, then starts dancing as his music starts to play. He picks up the UWF world title and looks at his reflection in it, primping his hair as he does so before laying it down on top of Brody again. HBK poses with the double bicep flex as the show goes off the air!!!!
