MONDAY MAYHEM, JULY WEEK 1 2002
InterviewThe show begins with a bang
AS=Al Snow
RV=Raven
GM=Great Muta
The show begins, and "Revelations" by Iron Maiden hits the PA. Al Snow enters. The crowd are cheering.
AS=You know, I've fought long and hard through out my career, and all to gain the respect of you people (the crowd cheers.). Well, what I got from that was about half you guys cheering me, and the other half saying im over-rated...well let me tell you something, to be over-rated, people have to think im good, and since when was that my case? (The crowd doesn't seem to know how to react to this remark) All this time, I've tried to please you, and do you know what I found? I found that I got recognised more when I didn't give a shit about any of you! (crowd boos) And you know what else? I found out that I really don't care if you boo or cheer me! (The crowd is booing like crazy) All this ti...
"A Place For My Head" by Linkin Park hits and Raven comes out.
RV=Al, Al, Al...it took you that long to realise that these people mean nothing to you? Al, you need to look at yourself in the mirror one of these days and see just how screwed u you are (the crowd is cheering Raven). You and I have fought a long and bloody war here in the NCPW, and it isn't over yet. Right now though, i'm busy trying to keep this company from being taken over by Kai En Tai, and what are you doing about it? You're standing there moaning to the fans...and now all you care about is getting at me. You have to finish with Sabu first. Tell me Al, do you really care if Kai En Tai take over? (the crowd boos)
AS=Raven, I couldn't care less if Kai En Tai took over every damn promotion in the states! (the crowd is booing more than ever now.)
RV=Al, you work for this damn company, SO STOP CRYING AND START FIGHTING FOR IT!
At this point, TMGE's "Young Jaguar" hits and The Great Muta enters.
GM=Raven, you and me will clash at Cruiser Kings. Tonight, you have learned that Al Snow shows no alliance with NCPW...and tonight we shall give a preview of what will happen at Cruiser Kings.
RV=What do you mean?
GM=Tonight, you have me one-on-one.
AS=HAHAHA! You're gonna go through Hell Scott! And all for these miserable pieces of crap?
RV=Al...
Raven hits an Evenflow on Al and then one on Muta. The crowd is going wild, and Raven stands crucifix style, then leaves.

MUTA=The tag titles are not important just yet. Tonight, we have other business. I have spoken to Foley, and he said that if any of us make a challenge to a champion, the champion must accept the challenge. However, we only get one challenge per belt. So, if we challenge, then the challenge must be for after Cruiser Kings. That way, we can prepare better for the task. As for tonight, Tiger Mask IV, you're with me...

KANYON=You see, right now, we have one tag belt here...
NOVA=...and you have the other. Well, this WILL end!
KANYON=You see, we signed a deal with Foley, and you can't back down from it!
NOVA=At Cruiser Kings, it's gonna be The Innovators vs Zero-G to decide the tru tag champs...as if the result is in doubt!
KANYON=THere's a catch though. You see, if either team gets both belts before Cruiser Kings, then the match is off, and the holders of both belts are seen as the champs.
Zero-G enter.
KASH=No way! We didn't sign anything!
DEVON=Yeah!
KANYON=Maybe not, but as 1/2 tag champs, the same thing applies to you that applies to the real champs. If a challenge is made, then you MUST accept!
