Fade up on a parking garage. In the garage, about ten cars form a circle around The Man Beast, Rhyno. There is one empty space where a car should be parked. Aggression Superstars such as Al Snow, Steven Richards, The Nation of Domination, Bradshaw, The Sandman, Test, Lance Storm and Sergeant Slaughter are standing around the ring and some are sitting on the cars.
 
Rhyno is pounding his chest and growling. The Superstars are pounding their fists on the hoods of the cars...
 
[Aggression Intro]
 
Fireworks and all kinds of awesome pyro goes off all over the arena! This crowd is hot tonight!
 
MEAN MARK: We are just four days away from the BIGGEST Pay Per View event in Aggression history! Tonight...Triple H will try and survive three greuling matches en route to defending his World Heavyweight Title at Sudden Death. If Triple H wins all three matches, Ed Moorhouse has a chance to save himself from stepping down as Co-GM of Aggression because he will be the Special Referee in the match between Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin. If Triple H loses just one match, it will be Stephanie McMahon that will serve as Special Referee. Who will survive?!
 
PH: You can bet your house in Tamaqua that Triple H will surviv tonight, Clemson. He is the game. He is the greatest living wrestler in the world. And he has an Icon in his corner!
 
MM: But will that Icon be in his corner on Sunday? We will find out in two hours! It seems as though...yes we are ready. Let's head out to the garage....
 
Gauntlet Match 1: Iron Ring Match
Triple H v. Rhyno
 
Rhyno is going crazy. He is walking in circles, pounding his chest and yelling for Triple H. Just then...a limo pulls up and parks in the empty spot with the rest of the cars. The lisence plate says "EXECUTIONERS" in big letters.
 
Rhyno heads out of the ring of cars and bangs on the back window. The window rolls down....
 
IRON MAN! The crowd gasps as Iron Man, from inside the limo, grabs Rhyno's head and attempts to pull him into the car! Rhyno is hanging out of the car half way when...
 
TRIPLE H sneaks up from behind and slams a chair across the back of The Man Beast!
 
Rhyno slumps out of the car and Iron Man gets out and slams Rhyno's skull repeatedly against the limo door. He then violently tosses Rhyno into the ring of cars and sits on the hood of the limo.
 
Triple H takes over. As the Aggression superstars yell from the outside, H starts pummeling Rhyno throwing punch after punch, chop after chop. He whips Rhyno right into the unforgiving steel front of Tony Sadowski's old pickup truck, which Ed Moorhouse must have borrowed for this match!
 
Rhyno falls to the ground, grabbing his back in pain. H picks him up and whips him onto the hood of a nearby car. Triple H beats Rhyno's head in with his fists and then climbs atop the car himself to set Rhyno up for a PEDIGREE!
 
Rhyno...somehow...someway....REVERSES his fotrune and flips The Game over his head and onto the roof of the car, shattering the windshield!!!!
 
Rhyno gets off the car and catches his breath.
 
No time for breaks though. Rhyno immediately goes to work. He pulls the broken Game off of the car and pounds away at his head, then takes him over to another vehicle where he slams H's head onto the hood and then lams his head right THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW!!!
 
Triple H is busted wide open. He is slumped over at the passenger side of the door while Rhyno, distracted by the presence of Iron Man, goes to confront the Executioner. Meanwhile, Triple H has reached into the busted open window and taken something out of the car.
 
Rhyno, after talking some trash to Iron Man, turns and catches THE CLUB (TM) RIGHT TO THE SKULL! Now Rhyno is bleeding profusely!
 
The Game beats on Rhyno with the club for a while and then takes him to another car, opens the door and starts to strangle the Man Beast with the seatbelt!!!
 
Triple H leaves Rhyno wrapped in the seatbelt and crawls to the middle of the ring. H is still a bloody mess and feeling the effects of having his head slammed through a window. He crawls to Iron Man, who hands him a tire iron, but Rhyno is there and stomps on Triple H. Rhyno picks up the tire iron and mashes it into The Game's face.
 
After some more violent battling, Rhyno finds himself in perfect position to hit a devestating move. He SUPLEXES THE GAME onto a car and heads to the opposite side of the ring. Triple H slowly gets up, turns, and GORE! GORE! GORE! RHYNO GORES HUNTER RIGHT INTO A CAR!
 
THIS MATCH IS OVER! TRIPLE H CAN'T ESCAPE THE FIRST MATCH OF THE GAUNTLET!
 
Rhyno goes to cover, but IRON MAN grabs a hold of Rhyno and power bombs him ONTO THE HOOD OF A CAR!
 
Triple H gets up...climbs the car...brings Rhyno to the top...Rhyno and Triple H exchange punches, then H kicks Rhyno in the gut...PEDIGREE! PEDIGREE ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR!!!
 
H covers Rhyno....The Ref is over and counts...ON THE CAR....1.....2.....3!
 
Winner: Triple H
 
=============
 
Backstage:
 
Stephanie McMahon and Ed Moorhouse are watching a monitor.
 
SM: DAMNIT!
 
EM: (Laughing) It looks like your little stipulation is backfiring, eh Steph?
 
SM: It was IRON MAN...YOUR EXECUTIONER...that cost Rhyno that match!
 
EM: Well Steph, unfortunatley for Rhyno, that sort of thing is legal in that kind of match.
 
SM: Don't get your hopes up. He has two matches to win and he is a bloody mess. Tell Triple H to get ready for his Arena Street Fight. Cactus Jack will be waiting for him...IN THE BOILER ROOM!
 
=================
 
ULTIMO DRAGON's music hits and he is out with his buddy Rey Mysterio to a HUGE, crowd-pleasing pop.
 
UD: Eddie Guerrero...I'll give you one chance to change this stipulation at Sudden Death. You can have me, man, but leave Lita outta this!
 
(There is a long pause, but just as Dragon is about to open his mouth again, WE LIE, WE CHEAT WE STEAL...Eddie and Chavo are out...with Lita hadcuffed to Chavo, as always.)
 
EG: Leave Lita outta this? Dragon, man, she the best part. (Eddie touches Lita's face...she fails to pull away) But maybe I will give mamacita another chance. She wins her match tonight...you can have her back tonight. She loses, the stipulation stays.
 
UD: Eddie, I don't like how you think....but I guess it is fair.
 
EG: HAHA! Good! Because tonight it will be Lita...AGAINST LOS GUERREROS!
 
(Lita tries desparately to escape the clutches of Chavo, but he is dragging her to the ring. In the ring, Eddie throws Mysterio over the top rope and Rey bangs his head hard on the guard rail. He is out cold. Eddie then fights Dragon and tosses him over. He un-cuffs Lita)
 
The match begins. Lita is struggling to fight both Guerreros and Eddie and Chavo are making quick work of her.
 
Mysterio comes to and, from the outside of the ring, trips up Chavo and pulls him out and starts to beat on him.
 
Lita and Eddie in the ring. Eddie hits a neckbreaker on Lita and starts to taunt her, but Dragon is up and distracts Eddie...meanwhile...LITA ROLLS UP EDDIE...1....2...KICK OUT!
 
Lita was soooo close to winning there. Eddie hits Dragon in the mouth with a baseball slide and then turns to Lita, who is charging him. Eddie drop toe holds Lita...He gets to the top rope and hits a Frog Splash to put her away. 1....2....3!
 
Winners: Los Guerreros
 
After the match, Los Guerreros are celebrating but Lita sneaks up behind both of them and DOUBLE LOW BLOWS THEM! Dragon and Mysterio are in the ring...DRAGON HITS AN ASAI MOONAULT ON EDDIE....MYSTERIO A 6-1-9 ON CHAVO!!!
 
Both Guerreros are down and Dragon wants Lita to go up top! She heads to the top rope....SENTON BOMB ONTO EDDIE GUERRERO and the crowd GOES NUTS!
 
Lita, Dragon and Mysterio celebrate in the ring!! Is this the way that Sunday will go down? Will Lita be permanently reunited with her friends?!?!? God, I hope so! I hope that Eddie Guerrero gets what he deserves!
 
================
 
Backstage...
 
Ed is talking to Iron Man...
 
01: It looks like you may have redeemed yourself for what happened last week in that cage match.
 
IM: What happened in that cage match was a fluke...what happened tonight...is only the beginning.
 
01: Good. Then you can finish tearing Rhyno apart...at SUDDEN DEATH!
 
=============
 
Edge and Christian are talking to each other when Stephanie McMahon walks by...
 
E: Hey, Stephanie...
 
SM: What's up guys?
 
E: Yeah, like, me and my bro here were thinking that it is totally unfair that we have to defend out titles on Sunday.
 
SM: What makes you say that? La Resistance got their title shot by beating Sgt. Slaughter last week.
 
C: But in all due respect Stephanie...did you see that match? La Resistance totally cheated when the referee wasn't looking. Slaughter was hit over the back of the knees by that flagpole.
 
SM: Sorry guys, didn't see it. The match stands.
 
(As Stephanie walks away, Edge and Christian start to curse La Resistance...then are attacked by the Tag Team Challengers from behind!! There is some fighting and when all is said and done, Edge spears Dupree and Christian breaks the French flagpole over Granier's back!! Edge and Christian show La Resistance why they are champions!)
 
==================
 
Gauntlet Match 2: Arena Street Fight
Triple H v. Cactus Jack
 
Triple H, with a bandage covering his entire forehead, limps down the hall. He comes to a door labeled "Boiler Room" The crowd pops. The Game cautiously enters.
 
H: Mick?....Mick where the hell are you you sick bastard? Come get some Cactus...come get your retirement papers....
 
Cactus Jack comes up from behind Triple H and hits him hard in the kidneys with a lead pipe. The Game falls to his knees and Cactus keeps pummeling away. Foley rips the bandage off of Hunter's head and smashes the pipe into the Game's skull. H is busted wide open again. Foley works the Game over, throwing punches to his head and further opening that gash.
 
Foley gets H to his feet and throws H into a concrete wall, then out the door where some Aggression superstars have gathered around. H falls hard to the ground and Foley looks up...BANG BANG!
 
...and a big pop from the crowd.
 
We haven't seen Cactus Jack in a week or two, but the hardcore legend has a lot of pent up frustration and is taking it out on the Game.
 
H is up though and uses the time Cactus took to celebrate to knock him on his ass. H barrels into him and throws some viscious punches. H hurdles Foley into some nearby production equipment and then strangles Foley with some wires.
 
Game leaves Foley to choke for a bit and staggers down the hall. Cactus is up and starts to follow, yelling after the Game.
 
CJ: HUNTER! DON'T YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME! HUNTER! COME BACK HERE AND GET YOUR ASS KICKED!
 
Cactus catches up to him and throws a forearm into him from behind. The two battle down the hall and into another door...leading to the locker room.
 
Cactus whips the Game into some lockers and picks up a steel chair...He goes to swing for the fences, but H dodges the blow and the chair smashes into a locker. Game kicks Foley in the gut and slams his head against a locker and throws him to the floor.
 
H picks up the chair and delivers FIVE VIOLENT BLOWS TO FOLEY'S BACK...THEN ONE BIG SHOT ACROSS HIS FACE!
 
Foley, a bloody mess by now, sits up and points to his cheek.
 
CJ: GO AHEAD YOU SON OF A BITCH...HIT ME AGAIN...RIGHT HERE.
 
Hunter obliges and smashes Foley in the face. H picks up Foley and rolls him out the door. He fights him down another hallway and they get to a backstage area where the hair and makeup and oil woman is sitting. H tells her to move out of the way and he grabs a big bottle of body oil, unscrews the top, and throws it in Foley's face...then he takes powder, blinds Foley by throwing it into his eyes, and then smashes Foley's face into the vanity's mirror.
 
The Game and Cactus fight to the outside and to the entrance area where the crowd pops upon their arrival.
 
Cactus tosses H onto the steel facing of the Aggression set and then chokes him while he is down. Foley stands and BANG BANG!!!
 
The crowd is chanting Foley's name.
 
Foley starts down the ramp, but Triple H runs behind him and runs him over. He heads to the ring and looks underneath where he finds a sledgehammer.
 
Foley is up and charges The Game, but H smashes the sledgehammer into Foley's gut and then sets him up for the PEDIGREE!
 
He hits it and the ref counts....1....2....3!!!
 
TRIPLE H HAS SURVIVED THE SECOND MATCH OF THE GAUNTLET! WHATEVER IS LEFT OF HIM WILL HAVE TO FACE GOLDBERG!!! MY GOD HOW WILL HE SURVIVE?!
 
Winner: Triple H
 
==================
 
Backstage...
 
01: Heh heh heh. Well, Stephanie? What do you have to say for yourself?
 
SM: He may have survived Rhyno. He may have gotten by Foley. But Icon...he will NOT remain standing after Goldberg AND Austin. What so I have to say? Looks like I have a good a chance as ever of being Special Referee!
 
01: Bring it on, McMahon.
 
===================
 
THE ROCK'S MUSIC HITS!!!
 
The crowd is booing him unrelentlessly and for about the 27th time, we see footbage of The Rock's car - with Kurt Angle in it - being crushed by a train. My God that's murder...The Rock is an awful human being!
 
The Rock is in the ring. The ring has a black carpet in it now and a large, framed picture of Kurt Angle standing amidst many many flowers.
 
R: Dearly Jabronis....we are gathered here today to may our respects to a man.....that The Rock never liked....A man....that got less pie than The Rock's big toe....A man....that was the lowest form of trash these eyes have ever seen.
 
(BOOOO!)
 
R: Oh, shut up and pay your respects to the dead!!
 
(BOOOOO!)
 
R: What we have here is Kurt Angle. A man that no one could respect or take seriously. Kurt Angle was......OH, THE ROCK DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ALL THIS CRAP! The Rock is going to give it to you people straight. The Rock is here to send a message. And that message...is to you, Bill Goldberg. You see this arrangement out here, Goldberg? You see it? You think it's nice? You think it's touching that we remember that jabroni good for nothing Kurt Angle like this? Well The Rock has news for you, Goldberg. Come Sudden Death....you will be joining Kurt Angle...wherever he is....because in that Barbed Wire Match for the Intercontinental Championship....The Rock will whoop your candyass all over this arena and take you out! What happened to Kurt Angle is just the beginning. It hasn't even started. And is the Rock sorry? No! The Rock is not sorry! The Rock does not pity Kurt Angle! The Rock does not pay his respects! The Rock says that Bill Goldberg...you come out here with your PYRO AND YOUR GROWLRARH RAWR GROWL!!!!!!!! And you think that intimidates The Rock? No! The Rock want you to know...Bill Goldberg...that when Kurt Angle messed with The Rock...he paid for it...and when Bill Goldberg messes with The Rock...he'll pay for it...you'll get your's Bill Goldberg....you'll get your SUDDEN DEATH!!! IF YOU SMELALALALALALA........
 
(Just then, GOLDBERG is in the ring and he picks up Angle's picture and shatters it over the head of the Rock, then SPEARS HIM!!!! The crowd goes absolutely crazy and Goldberg leans on the ropes and roars at them as his music plays! Goldberg has his hands full on Sunday against The Rock....but tonight....he still has the Game!)
 
====================
 
In a Bar...
 
Faarooq, New Jack, Booker T and Jonathan Coachman...all four members of the Nation...are having some beers.
 
??: HEY! GET OUT OF OUR BAR!
 
(They turn to see Bradshaw and Sandman standing in the door. All of the people in the bar scatter. They know a fight is about to break out.)
 
F: Man, whatchu mean YOUR bar?
 
B: Faarooq, you are disrespecting me bro. This is where the APA used to hang out. You know this is my place.
 
F: Not no more it ain't!
 
The Nation attack Bradshaw and Sandman. It's 4-on-2, but Bradshaw and Sandman put up a good fight. However, its too much to handle and the Nation dispose of these bar room brawlers.
 
F: That's what I thought! No one messes with the Nation and disrespects us like that!
 
BT: You know what I'm sayin'.......
 
(A glass bottle shatters over Booker T's skull. It's Steiner. He beats down Booker T and throws him into the bar and then takes out the rest of the Nation with a pool cue. Chaos in the bar as everyone seems to be laid out, except for Steiner.)
 
SS: Now.....can you dig that? Can you dig the biggest arms in the business? I didn't think so...PUNK!
 
==================
 
Match:
Lance Storm (w/Test) v. Bad Ass Billy Gunn (w/Rikishi)
 
Filler match. Probably would be a decent one. I just wanted to get these guys on and keep their heat going. The crowd loves the ASSets and their...umm...assets...and they hate those arrogant Canadians. Woot woot woot.
 
Winner: Billy Gunn
 
===================
 
Backstage...
 
Stephanie McMahon is talking to Austin...
 
SM: Steve, I want you to take out Triple H in any way possible.
 
SC: I think I can handle that. In fact, It would be my pleasure.
 
SM: So take him out. It's your only job tonight. And Steve...Don't touch Goldberg.
 
SC: Listen Stephanie...I want you in my corner on Sunday...but my job tonight is to be this match's Lumber Jack. I hate Hunter, but Stone Cold don't play favorites. I'll whoop Goldberg's ass just the same.
 
SM: Steve, please...just Hunter.
 
SC: Let's just hope it only gets that far.
 
===============
 
Gauntlet Match 3: Stone Cold Lumber Jack Match
Triple H v. Goldberg
 
Goldberg is out first. The the Game. The two have a huge staredown. The Game's head is wrapped again and this time his ribs are too. He looks horrible. Like he has been through...well...really violent matches.
 
It was just one month ago that these two men squared off for the ICW-A World Heavyweight Championship. Now, perhaps an even more important match. Triple H has been to hell and back already. If he loses this match, Stephanie McMahon secures her spot as Special Referee of the Heavyweight Title Match on Sunday. If not, Ed Moorhouse takes on that honor. We are ready to go save one thing...
 
GLASS SHATTERS!
 
Stone Cold Steve Austin is at ringside. The Heavyweight Challenger is the only Lumber Jack out there. The deck is stacked against HHH. It's basically two-on-one. Stone Cold circles the ring like a vulture.
 
The Bell rings...
 
...but the staredown continues. After what seems to be an eternity, the two men lock up. Triple H gets the upper hand and wrenches Goldberg's head into a headlock. H releases G and leans into the ropes, then hits G with a facebuster. Game, a walking wounded, poses for the crowd and then has something to say to Austin. Austin flips off H. The crowd loves it!
 
Goldberg isn't amused and hits H from behind. The two wrestlers exchange blows for a while and after a few minutes of some good wrestling Goldberg pushes H over the top rope and onto the floor. Austin seizes his moment.
 
Austin grabs the bandages around H's ribs and tears them off! Ausin pounds away at The Game's tender ribs...from that lead pipe shot earlier at the hands of Foley...and Hunter writhes in pain. Austin throws Hunter's carcass into the den that is the Lion Goldberg's.
 
Goldberg goes to work on those same ribs. H can't seem to stand it. Finally, H manages to reverse his fortunes and shove Goldberg away with his legs. H is up and takes Goldberg into the corner...he stands over him on the middle turnbuckle and delivers...
 
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10! TEN blows to Goldberg's head. Then...H gets down and...WHOOO! WHOOO! WHOOO! THREE chops across Goldberg's Chest!. H whips G into the far corner and then pulls him back out into a neckbreaker!
 
On the outside, Austin is taunting HHH. Hunter turns and leans over the ropes to take a swing at Stone Cold...but he his pushed over again by Goldberg, who has gotten to his feet!
 
Austin dives in. He whips The Game into the Steel Steps and then this time goes to work on the gash on H's face. This is the THIRD TIME HHH has been busted wide open!
 
Austin tosses The Champ back into the ring.
 
Goldberg capitalizes. He goes for the head and ribs of the Game, weakening him with every blow. The two press on and fight and fight...this is EPIC!
 
After some time, H is whipped into the far corner. Goldberg gets in position and runs toward H for a spear...BUT H DODGES HIM AND GOLDBERG DRIVES HIS SHOULDER INTO THE STEEL RINGPOST!
 
H...with whatever energy he has left...kicks Goldberg in the gut and..PEDIGREE!!!
 
H goes for the cover...THIS ONE IS OVER!! THE GAME.....1.....2.....
 
TWO!!!!!
 
GOLDBERG KICKED OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
The crowd is going nuts and H can't believe it. H punches away at Goldberg's head and then gets up, still angry and goes after the referee, then spits vulgarities at Austin, who is simply laughing.
 
Goldberg and Hunter go at it once again, hitting CLIMAXING SPOTS...but coming oh so close. (story of every guy's life)
 
H manages a facebuster on Goldberg, but after he hits it...he's distracted. As Goldberg sits up and readies himself...
 
Austin has stood on the ring apron and he hangs H out to dry on the ropes...The ref goes to reprimand Austin....H turns wearily...SPEAR!!!!!! GOLDBERG SPEARS HHH BUT THE REFEREE WAS BEHIND H...SO BOTH THE GAME AND THE REF GOT THE WORST OF THE SPEAR AND ARE DOWN!!!!!
 
Goldberg goes out of the ring to confront Austin. The two are staring at each other. Goldberg is blaming Austin for the distraction...perhaps it is Austin's fault that the Ref got in the way...but Goldberg is out of the ring and Austin can do whatever he wants to him!
 
The two are going at it...but THE ROCK IS OUT! THE ROCK, attacked earlier by Goldberg at Angle's funeral....HAS A STEEL CHAIR AND LAYS GOLDBERG OUT WITH THE CHAIR!!!!
 
Rocky tosses Goldberg in the ring....and sets him up for the...PEOPLE'S ELBOW!!!!!!!!
 
The Rock delivers the blow and now HHH, Goldberg AND the Ref are all laid out!
 
Rock talks some smack to the laid out Goldberg and then turns...to face Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin flips off Rocky...STUNNER! STUNNER!!!
 
THERE IS ABSOLUTE CHAOS IN THE RING AND AUSTIN IS THE ONLY MAN STANDING!
 
But not so fast...ED MOORHOUSE IS WALKING TO THE RING. He slowly rios off his tie and shirt revealing A REFEREE SHIRT UNDERNEATH!!!!!
 
The Icon 01, Big Daddy, gets in the ring and dares Austin to do something to him. Then...without warning...ICON CUTTER! ICON CUTTER ON AUSTIN!!!
 
Big Daddy surveys the chaos. Austin is out. HHH is out. Goldberg is out. The Rock is out. The Ref is out.
 
Ed drags HHH on top of Goldberg and fast counts...1, 2, 3!!!!!!
 
MEAN MARK: TRIPLE H HAS SURVIVED THE GAUNTLET! TRIPLE H HAS WON! AT SUDDEN DEATH...THE DECK WILL BE STACKED AGAINST AUSTIN AND STEPHANIE MCMAHON...BECAUSE THAT MAN...THAT ICON...WILL BE THE SPECIAL REFEREE!!! MY GOD! THAT DISPICABLE ICON FOUND A WAY TO WIN!! TRIPLE H WILL DEFEND HIS TITLE ON SUNDAY...WITH AN ICON IN HIS CORNER!
