(ICW logo video plays.)
(Audience cheers as chairman 02's picture flashes up.)
(A limo pulls up in the arena parking lot. The door opens, and a foot steps out. The camera tilts up to reveal the Nature Boy, himself. The crowd pops big for the grinning Greatest of All-Time, and the pop grows as he turns around to watch the other passengers exit...out step Rob Van Dam, Randy Orton and Chris Benoit!)
RF: WOOOOO! Tonight, the Four Horsemen will style and profile all over Revolution!
CB: Ric is right. I've been a Horseman before. We have to prove that we're legit and we're in control around here, and we have to do it TONIGHT. No hesitating, no waiting, no giving anyone the chance to get the drop on us. We watch eachother's backs...and we each get our own jobs done tonight...
RF: So, let's get in there and get things started HORSEMEN STYLE! WOOOO!!!
VD: Ric, Chris, don't worry. After I take on the Hurricane tonight, not ONLY will I be the number one contender for the Television Title...I'll be the ONLY one able to walk to the locker room.
RO: And guys, you know what I can do. Randy Orton guarantees success. Randy Orton guarantees victory. And Randy Orton guarantees...that the Big Show will think twice before he messes with the best again.
RF: The Horsemen are back, baby! WOOO! Ain't nobody gonna' stop us n--
(Dreamer & Taker approach, the crowd pops.)
Dreamer: Oh, no?
(Dreamer and Taker lay into Flair and Benoit, but just as Orton and Van Dam begin to turn the tides, 03 runs up...)
03: Woah, woah! Listen, guys. Tony may not be here, but he left me in charge of Revolution tonight. So as far as I'm concerned, this is MY show tonight, got it? Now, why don't we all just calm down and settle this little problem in the ring? Tommy, Taker...you'll be taking on Flair and Benoit later tonight.
(The four of them nod and stare their opponents.)
03: And one more thing. If you insist on having your little power struggle, you really want to see who's the new dominant force on Revolution...we'll make that tag match NO DQ!
(Dreamer and Taker, all FOUR HORSEMEN laugh and applaud the idea.)
Dreamer: This is bullsh*t! You can't keep holding us back like this, assh*le!
03: I can do whatever I want. The match is on, may the best team win.
Tazz: Yo, 03. I got a problem.
03: What can I do for you, champ?
T: Last week, Jericho tried to end my career. I want to return the favor at the PPV...and unlike him, I'm going to FINISH THE JOB...
03: Tazz, you're the MAN around here. You're untouchable...and you got that match. With the power vested in me as official Revolution Chairman, I hereby sign that match for ICW Revolution: APOCALYPSE!
T: Thanks, Legend. Pounding that assh*le Jericho's head into the ground is gonna' feel REAL good...
03: Tell you what. Since Y2J thinks he's such a tough guy breaking the rules and using steel chairs lately...why don't we level the playing field? I'm assigning the Icons' good friend and leader of the Four Horsemen...(AUDIENCE WOOOOOOs!)...Nature Boy, Ric Flair!
(Tazz laughs, confidently, as he walks away, and the crowd pops huge as Revolution intro plays!)
M: What an explosive night it's been already, and we're only 3 minutes into the show! Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the greatest show in professional wrestling today, ICW Revolution! I'm Mean Mark and Tony paid me $1000 to say that.
K: Even when 02's NOT here, he's annoying! I like 03's style...take care of business and let 'em do their talking in the ring!
M: Well, all know is tonight's main event tag team match is going to be a slobberknocker, if I may quote the great Jim Ross.
K: God rest his soul.
M: King, JR's not dead. He just doesn't work for ICW.
K: Oh, right. Just haven't seen him for a while.
M: Anyway, tonight, we'll see Four Horsemen member Rob Van Dam take on the Hurricane in a match that was supposed to have happened last week, until Hurricane was jumped by Randy Orton! Whoever wins that match will get a shot at the ICW TV Title at the next Revolution PPV coming up...Apocalypse!
K: That's the name?! I can't help but think the Four Horsemen have a little pull with 02 if that's the name of the next PPV, Mark.
M: Well, we'll just have to see if the new Horsemen are the real deal. Like Benoit said just moments ago, tonight they have to prove themselves...but with those four men, I can't see them crashing and burning anytime soon.
K: Say that now, but I think tonight, two big-time veterans, Tommy Dreamer and the Undertaker, are going to put a stop to that once and for all! They'll crush the Horsemen before they have a chance to prove anything.
M: You may be right, King, and we'll find out later on tonight --
(Cut to the Horsemen in their insanely expensive skybox.)
RF: Boys, this is livin' the Horseman life!
RO: Ric, I gotta' hand it to you...this is a foolproof plan tonight. We all do our thing...and by the end of Revolution, the Four Horsemen will be unstoppable!
CB: Well, we have this match with Dreamer and the Undertaker tonight. That wasn't in the plan.
RVD: Dude, Chris...chill. Randy and I got your back, just like you said. It's No-DQ!
CB: That's true...they don't stand a chance against the four of us.
RF: That WOULD be true...if I wasn't telling Van Dam and Orton to stay in the back.
(The other Horsemen are confused.)
CB: Ric, this is a no-brainer. Easy win over some big names, the Horsemen dominate ICW TOGETHER!
RF: Chris, Rob, Randy...the Horsemen in the past were all about sneaking up behind people and cheap wins. But I think that it's time to change that. The Four Horsemen aren't cheaters. We aren't weak. We're four of the greatest wrestlers in the world today! And if we're going to prove we're truly unbeatable...Rob, win. Randy, you win your match, too. And Chris, we'll beat those two clowns by ourselves. We came here to show the world the Horsemen aren't a joke. We came here tonight to show the world that we're the highest mark in wrestling. We're going to do it. But for tonight, let's do it...by wrestling.
(The others nod.)
RO: You sure, Naitch? Rob and I could bitchjack those fools before they even knew what hit 'em.
RF: Trust me, boys. I believe in this group. The Four Horsemen aren't about cheap victories. The Horsemen are about being four steps above the rest. And tonight, we're going to prove that in the ring. Now, Chris, let's go take care of our original business.
(They all agree and leave the room, Benoit lags behind...his smile turns to a vindictive sneer.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M: Benoit sure looks like he's up to no-good. Who knows what dastardly plans the Horsemen have for tonight?
K: I haven't seen Flair so serious in years, Mark. It's like he's 60 again!
M: Oh, stop it, King, those men combined could be an unstoppable force.
(Trish's theme hits!)
K: Who cares?! Trish is here!! Ha ha! PUPPIES, MARK!
M: Puppies, indeed, King, but this opening match isn't your typical bout by any stretch of the imagination! It started last night on ICW Not So Hot!
(Clip from Not So Hot shows X-Pac slamming Victoria with a chair to the back of the head as the ref checks on their mixed-tag partners, Ivory and Raven, who are both down outside the ring. Ref turns around, Waltman gets the pin on the unconscious Victoria to a shower of boos from the crowd. He gets on the mic and says he felt a new thrill beating on Victoria like that...and he claims he can beat any woman on the roster! Trish comes out and accepts the challenge for Revolution the next night, noting X-Pac can't beat any of the men, and he has to cheat to beat a woman. Trish adds that she and Victoria have mended their friendship and she's going to get revenge for her friend, who is being carried from the ring by trainers and is bleeding badly from the chairshot.)
M: There you have it, X-Pac got cocky after hitting poor Victoria with a chair and now he thinks he's Andy Kauffman!
K: I knew Andy...Sean Waltman isn't half the man Andy Kauffman was. He might not even be half the wrestler! HA HA!
M: Well, Trish is in the ring, so let's see if she can end Waltman's pathetic, sick new hobby right here tonight!
(X-Pac enters, takes the mic.)
X: Trish, I'm gonna' give you the chance to get off easy tonight. However, I'll be the one GETTING OFF!
(BOO!)
X: You can either wrestle me and embarrass yourself...or you can head home with me tonight and we'll kiss and make up. What do you say?
(Trish looks out to the fans, who are booing and begin chanting her name.)
(X-Pac turns to yell at the fans, Trish rolls him up from behind for a CLOSE 2-count. The bell rings, and this intergender match is underway!)
(After the match, Victoria runs in with a bandage around her head. She looks deranged, attacks Trish, and starts clawing and biting X-Pac. She breathes heavily as she looks around the arena to boos. Yup, Victoria's a heel again...but only because X-Pac's chairshot knocked her insane. Vic leaves and we fade to commercial on a shot of Trish selling the injury and glaring at Victoria, confused.)

MATCHES:
-Flair/Benoit v. Dreamer/Taker (No DQ!)
-RVD v. The Hurricane (Ladder Match, No. 1 Contender)
-Randy Orton v. Big Show (Grudge Match for last week's spear)
-Trish v. X-Pac
-Kane d. Goldust
------------------------------------------------------------
Kane d. Goldust:
Paul Bearer uses his powers to make the lackey Goldust the first man to fight Kane on Revolution. Goldust is destroyed by the Big Red Machine...but as Kane is raising his arms to blast the fire, another explosion takes place on-stage! Nightmare walks out and challenges Kane to a Battle of the Dark Powers at Apocalypse...Paul Bearer cackles wildly and tells Nightmare that after Apocalypse, he too will suffer the WRATH OF KANE!
Main Event Tag Match:
After the Main Event tag match, all four Horsemen are ganging-up on Dreamer and Taker. Chris Jericho runs to the ring with his trademark steel chair and smashes Ric Flair over the head with a sickening thud! The other three Horsemen run at Jericho...but stop and all begin to laugh and congratulate Y2J?! Jericho grabs a mic!
Y2J: (Screaming at Ric, but into mic.) Flair, you old dinosaur! You talk about the Four Horsemen being the dominant force in wrestling, being taken seriously...well, let me tell you something, junior...(to the crowd, who is booing hysterically)...Ric Flair is dead. The man who used to be the greatest wrestler alive is no more, gone, vanished! This decrepit assclown you see lying in the ring right now...THAT's Ric Flair, and as long as he's around, the Four Horsemen will never go anywhere! Face it, Ric Flair is nothing but a weak link!
(SUPERBOO!)
Y2J: Boo all you want! No, no...what the Horsemen need is a man who's young, talented, and capable of something so deplorable that he virtually guarantees the Horsemen will OWN THIS FEDERATION, JACK! The Horsemen need someone whose best years are ahead of him...not 15 years behind him! The Horsemen need a man who is a bonafide HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT! The Horsemen also need the man...who will be facing Tazz at Apocalyse for the Revolution Heavyweight Championship!
Benoit: And now...the Horsemen have him! Flair, we used your pull with the Icons to get Orton and Van Dam over here...and then Jericho and I used YOU to show that the Horsemen aren't going to settle for anything but the best. THESE MEN STANDING BEFORE YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS TODAY -- WE ARE...THE FOUR HORSEMEN!!
(Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Rob Van Dam and Randy Orton pose over Flair's unconscious carcass to the Horsemen theme as Revolution fades out.)
