"I think this is a good thing that you are doing." Vince McMahon said. "So I can do it? I can bring my students." I asked. "Yeah." Vince replied. "Cool." I said as I walked off. When I got back to my dressing room, Rikishi, Adam Copeland and Kurt Angle were there waiting for me. "You know what's going down for tonight right?" Kurt asked. "Yeah." I said as Andrea came in. "Game time." She said. We all exited the room and went to the A.P.A. 'office'. Nicole was already there playing cards with John Layfield and Ron Simmons, also known as Faarooq and Bradshaw.
Kurt, Adam, Andrea, Rikishi and I each took seats around the long table. "You guys ready?" John asked. Everyone responded with a 'yes'. "Wait 'till this hand is done." Nicole replied. "Drop 'em girlie." Ron said. Nicole dropped her cards "Full House." "Damn" Ron said as Nicole took the money in the middle of the table.
"Ok, place your bets and prepare to get taken to the cleaners." John said laughing as everyone placed a hundred dollar bill in the middle. Ron dealt everyone their cards. Adam put in a twenty, so did everyone else except Nicole and Ron, they folded. "I call." John said.
Rikishi, Adam and Andrea folded, that just left me and John. "Whatcha got?" I asked. "Three kings." John said. I smiled and put mine down "Four queens." I laughed as I picked up my winnings and left the room.
I went to the dressing room that I shared with Jeff Hardy. "Where is your girl?" Jeff asked. "Los Angeles." I replied. "So what's doing tonight?" Jeff asked me. "I'm facing Adam, I-C Title match, oh and by the way, I'm bringing some students from the dojo to the rumble." I said. "That is cool." Jeff said as Amy poked her head in and said "Showtime." Jeff and I left the room, Matt and Amy soon joined us on our way to the 'gorilla' position.
Kurt Angle's music hit and he went out followed by Rikishi. The match went back and forth for about five minutes. I ran out of the back and gave Kurt his 'Olympic Slam' which gave him the match by DQ.
Backstage....
"Good job." Andrea said as I hi fived her. "Don't get to comfy, you still have me later.' Adam said with a mock threat tone in his voice. At that moment my cell phone rang. It was Sheridan. "Hey Sheridan, what's up?" " Mike Lewis was in a wreck." Sheridan said. "What?" I replied. "Don't worry, he's fine, just a little dazed, but get this....it was Coverdale's car he wrecked." Sheridan said laughing. "I guess that means another trip to the steel circle huh?" I asked. "Yeah, its set for Wednesday." Sheridan said.
"You feeling ok?" I asked. "No, Jason doesn't get back until next week and I'm so stressed out from everything. I have gotten barely any sleep in a week just running everything." Sheridan said. "Hey, I've gotta go." I said as I hung up and turned to the monitor, Stacy and Nicole were in the ring going at it. I had to do something for Sheridan, before the stress got to her.

NICOLE
--------------------------------
Stacy has Nicole in the corner and is choking her with her boot. Stacy backed off as Trish Stratus came out to the top of the ramp and watched. Nicole speared Stacy and started punching her repeatedly. Nicole pulled Stacy up and gave her a DDT and made the pin. Nicsurprisen looked at Trish and said "You are next." Trish went backstage as Nicole left the ring.
--------------------------------
I hi-fived Brandon and Andrea as I got backstage. "Oh Nicole, where to on Wednesday?" Andrea asked. "UDUB, I wanna see Michelle Sanders first." I said. "Visiting the old team huh?" Brandon said. "Yeah, taking a trip down memory lane." I said smiling. "So you and Trish at the Rumble?" Brandon asked. "Yup." I replied.
Andrew came in and kissed me before he went out. I watched in awe as Andrew fought Kane, Andrea snapped me back to reality. "So straight from Smackdown to Michelle's?" She asked. "No, home first, we leave on Wednesday morning." I replied. "Does Michelle know we are coming?" I asked, Andrea smiled and said. "Nope, we are going to suprise her." I smiled as Andrew nailed Kane with the boot and got the 1-2-3.
"Rumble is almost completely decided huh?" Brandon asked Andrew as he came backstage. "Yeah..." Andrew said as he kissed me "..the 30 man match, Jericho vs. RVD for the World Title; Stonecold vs. Booker T; Andrea and Edge for the I-C Title..." I interrupted him "... you against The Rock..." "...me against The Rock..." Andrew continued. "...Bradon against Kurt Angle; you and Trish for the Women's Title and The Hardys vs. The Undertaker." Andrew finished as Adam Copeland came in and hi-fived Brandon and went out to the ring.
--------------------------------
Ice came to the ring and went right after Edge, Ice threw Edge outside the ring and tossed him into the post, then threw him back in. Edge got some offense in by kicking Ice as he got into the ring, but Ice nailed Edge repeatedly with some martial arts moves, but Kurt Angle and Andrea came out to the ring and attacked both men. Andrea went for Edge while Kurt went after Ice, there was a pull apart brawl with all four people.
--------------------------------
"I think I'm gonna like the Rumble." I said.
