WWF officials made an announcement concerning the future of the WWF title.
JR = Jim Ross
VM = Vince McMahon
JR: Vince, I have been told you have something important to say about the
WWF title and the Royal Rumble. Is that so ?
VM: You're absolutely correct, Jim Ross. The WWF board of directors had a
five-hour long meeting behind closed doors and have come to a conclusion
concerning the future of the WWF title.
JR: And that conclusion is ?
VM: The WWF board of directors passed a unanimous vote to reinstate The Rock as
the reigning WWF champion... pro...
JR: You're saying that The Rock has not been fired ?!?
VM: ... provided he agree to give a title shot to whomever wins the Royal Rumble
tonight at WrestleMania. Should The Rock loses the title, his contract will
remain terminated.
[ The Rock's music starts playing over the PA system and The Rock walks down
the ramp with a mike in his right hand and a bottle of water in his left. ]
TR: So you jabronie are telling The Rock that all he has to do to keep his
title is wrestle whatever candy-ass wins the Royal Rumble ?
VM: That's the deal... whoever it is. What's your decision ?
TR: I promise you one thing, Vince... whoever wins the Royal Rumble... it
doesn't matter who wins the Royal Rumble because I'm gonna take this bottle
here, fill it with monkey piss and shove it so far down that jabronie's
throat that it'll come right out of his ass again ! If you smeeeeeelllll
what The Rock... is cookin' !
[ The Rock's music once again fires up as he leaves the stage. ]

HH = Hollywood Hogan
HH: Rock... you thought you had it all figured out, huh ? Screw the Hulkster
out of every one of his matches while constantly avoiding direct contact
with him like the plague. Well, brother... you're going to get what you
deserve at WrestleMania, and I'm taking my title back ! And one more thing,
Rock... you are under my personal protection until WrestleMania. I'm going
to get you and nobody else will !
Match Observations:
It's official now, folks... The Rock vs Hollywood Hogan... one on one at
WrestleMania 2015 ! It's been brewing for almost nine months now, and despite
The Rock's maneuverings to keep it from happening, it is going to happen...
provided - of course - that The Rock keeps his title until WrestleMania.
If Maivia loses the title, he's gone for good. If he loses at WrestleMania, he
will be gone as well. However, if he beats Hollywood Hogan at WrestleMania, he
will get a new, indefinite contract. Everything's on the line, and this writer
here has a feeling that The Rock is starting to regret having screwed with
Hogan's career so much in the last several months. Hogan is furious... and
determined to once again become the WWF Champion.
Speaking of new champions, we have new WWF World Tag Team Champions, Steve
Williams and Stan Hansen. They defeated Bret Hart and Val Venis for the gold
when - out of the blue - Faarooq and Bradshaw, the Acolytes, stormed ringside
and clobbered Val Venis from behind, giving Williams an easy Oklahoma Stampede
victory over him.
You can count on the last chapter not having been written in this matter. We
will see Bret and Val get a well-deserved rematch shortly, however there may be
a bigger goal for them than the titles: get even with Bradshaw and Faarooq. That
will be no easy task !
Chris Benoit and Ken Shamrock keep on clashing despite neither man harboring any
ill intent whatsoever. Maybe it's just about being in the wrong place at the
wrong time. However, this friendship is souring quickly.
Tomorrow night on RAW, see Ken Shamrock challenge The Rock for the WWF title,
the debut of the Godfather against Buh Buh Ray Dudley, and Edge has something
important to say.
See you then !
