:)---RAW December 24th, 2001:---THE ROCK is out in his (slightly modified) #94 Hurricanes jersey. Your hosts, by the way, are a pair of kings...JIM ROSS & JERRY LAWLER. We wait out a few "Rock E" chants. "Finally, The Rock HAS COME BACK.... ... ... ...home. Oh, and tonight, tonight is a very special homecoming for the Rock. Because tonight, the Rock has got a shot - has got one shot at becoming the Undisputed...Champion. You see, tonight the Rock goes one on one with the Undisputed champion, Chris Jericho. In front of all of the Rock's friends, in front of all of the Rock's family, and in front of the millions...of Rock's fans - and just as shore as the Rock is gonna walk in the middle of the peoples ring, just as shore as the Rock's alma mater, the miami Hurricanes....are gonna walk into the Rose Bowl - and just as sure as we're ALL gonna whoop ALL of their candyasses! ("Rock E!") But seeing as this is...the holiday season...and we are all in the holiday ssssssssspirit - the Rock has got a sssspecial message...regarding tonight. The Rock's book, please. The title of the book - 'The Rock's Night Before Christmas.' ("Rock E!") ''twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house / Not a creature was stirring, not even...a mouse. / The weather was warm, not a trace of snow / As the Rock got ready to whup Chris Jeri-cho. / Jericho's claim to be the best, the Rock has found quite brutal / Clearly Chris Jericho is a man who has no strudel / "I am a living legend!" Y2J would sing / As he trembled with fear stepping into the People's Ring / And faster, faster than Scrooge saw the ghost of Christmas Past / The Rock hit the People's Ring and whooped Y2J's ass!' Oh hold on, there's more. 'It seemed quite certain the title would switch / as the Rock made Chris Jericho his OWN punk-ass bitch / And after the Rock pinned Jericho 1, 2, 3 / Stood over his limp body in victory / The Rock grabbed the mic and told everyone in sight / Merry Christmas to all--'" and the music of KURT ANGLE breaks up that final line. Good night! Unfortunately, Angle is NOT wearing his traditional Santa hat. "Oh, I'm sorry, Rock. Did I interrupt something? You know, all this talk about Christmas has gotten me to thinking. What is it they say about Santa Claus? He sees you when you're sleepin' - he knows when you're awake - well it seems to me that Jolly Old Saint Nick is a PERVERT! And I'll tell you what, I hope that Santa ISN'T watching tonight, because tonight I plan on being very, very naughty. You see, there's one man out there that's even more powerful than Santa Claus...it's Vince McMahon. And Vince McMahon has given Your Olympic Hero a very special Christmas present. ["Ass hole!"] And that present is a shot--" "Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa - PLEASE - let them finish calling you an ass(beep)!" "And that present is a shot at the Undisputed title. That's right, Rock - tonight is going to be a Triple Threat match. Rock, it's gonna be, The Rock...versus Chris Jericho...versus Kurt Angle for the Undisputed title. OH it's TRUE! HO HO HO, it's true! And I tell you what, Rock - your chances at winning the title, in front of these sleazy hometown losers, just went from slim to none - so what do you think about that?" "What does the Rock think about that? Well seeing as you came out and you interrupted the Rock, let the Rock finish his Christmas message, and he'll tell you EXACTLY how he feels about that. 'As far as for Kurt Angle and the Rock's match goes / Your ass is gonna be redder than Rudolph's nose. / Because tonight on the canvas, you AND Jericho will be looking / As the Rock whips both your candyasses IF YA SMELLLLLLLLL what the Rock is cooking!!!!'"^ text recap via CRZ.netenjoy
