BRANDON
One Hour Later
"Where does he get off challenging me?" I said. "He must have a death wish." Sheridan said as the students entered the 'gorilla' position. Sheridan pointed to the monitor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrea had Edge reeling, she had just gotten in a low blow and was taking full advantage. Andrea was stomping away on Edge in the corner, Andrea backed off and taunted the crowd, and that was just the opening that Edge needed. Edge came out of the corner and speared Andrea.
Edge than began stomping away on her, the ref pulled Edge off of Andrea, then went to check on her, William Regal then came out of the back and Edge went after him. Edge and William Regal started fighting on the outside of the ring, Regal sent Edge into the ring post and pulled a pair of brass knuckles out of his tights.
Edge came up to Regal and got nailed with the brass knucks. Regal then threw Edge back into the ring. Andrea picked up Edge and nailed the "Tiger Bomb" and ref counted the 1-2-3. "Your winner and NEW WWF Intercontinental Champion, Andrea Dawson." The crowd mercilessly booed her as she and Regal walked out with Andrea carrying the Intercontinental Title.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrea and I hugged as soon as she got backstage, and I think she started to cry. "Congratulations girl." I said. "Thanks" She replied. She then went back to her dressing room, as Kurt Angel came in ready to go. "You ready?" Kurt asked me. "As I'll ever be." I replied. Kurt's music hit as my students heckled him by booing him. Kurt smiled and went out to the ring.
"Wish me luck you guys." I said to the students. "Good luck." They all replied. My music hit and I went out to the ring.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ice's music hit and he charged the ring and went after Kurt. Ice speared Kurt as soon as he got in the ring and they started to brawl. Ice got up and charged Kurt again and got a belly to belly suplex. Ice slid out of the ring and glared at Kurt Angle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This is gonna be fun." I said to myself.

"You guys have kicked ass tonight." Leah said. "Yes..." I said as I slung the WWF Women's Title over my shoulder "...we have." Everyone started laughing. "Hey who is wrestling right now?" Michelle asked. Andrea turned on the monitor. "Ice and Kurt Angle." I replied.
Brandon nailed a missile dropkick on Kurt. "Hey after this match are we going back to the hotel?" Michelle asked. "No." Andrea said. "Why not?" I asked. "Because I am in the Royal Rumble match and so is Brandon." She replied. "Oh, well I'm done for the night." I said as I looked back to the TV.
Chris Jericho had come to ringside and knocked out the ref, then got in the ring. Ice and Jericho went at it for a few minutes until Kurt got involved and it turned into a two on one until the rest of the Horsemen came to the ring and chased Jericho away and Triple H gave the Pedigree to Kurt Angle.
Triple H threw the ref back in the ring as Ice covered Kurt Angle. The ref slowly counted the 1-2-3. All four of us then left the dressing room at the time and went to the 'gorilla' position. When we got there Sheridan was talking to Brandon. "I'm going to take the students back to the hotel and get them on the plane home." "Hey can I come with you back to the hotel?" I asked. "Sure." Sheridan said.
I rushed back to the dressing room and grabbed my things and put the Women's Title around my waist and went out to meet Sheridan in the parking lot. All of us got into the van and drove off.

"Bulldog by Chris Jericho on the Rock." JR said from ringside. Suddenly the lights went out in the arena and a wolf howl was heard. The crowd popped as soon as the lights cam back on, the ref was out cold and next to Chris Jericho in the ring were.......Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.
Rock got up and saw them, Nash kicked the Rock and gave him the powerbomb, then Hall pulled him up and gave him the 'Outsider's Edge'. Jericho then revived the ref and covered the Rock as soon as Nash and Hall got out of the ring. The ref slowly counted the 1-2-3.
"The winner of this match and still Undisputed WWF Champion, Chris Jericho." The crowd booed them mercilessly as they came backstage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris Jericho, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall came backstage and I hi-fived each of them. At that moment Andrea, Leah and Michelle came back in the 'gorilla' position. Hall, Nash and Jericho left. "Andrea, you ready?" I asked. "As I'll ever be." She replied. We then turned to the monitor as Christian and Val Venis came into the position and waited.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It is now time for the Royal Rumble match. In just a few moments the participants who drew numbers one and two will enter the ring, every minute thereafter the person who drew the next number will enter, this will continue until all 30 participants have entered. The only way to be eliminated will be to be thrown over the top rope and both feet must hit the floor." The ring announcer said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"And those are the rules." I said. "What number did you draw Andrea?" Michelle asked as Val Venis went out first. Andrea drew a slip of paper out of her pocket and handed it to Michelle as Christian went out to the ring. Michelle unfolded the paper and read "Number 21." out loud.
"Brandon, what number did you draw?" Michelle asked after a few seconds of dead silence and the crowd counting down from 10. I pulled a piece of paper out of my jacket and handed it to Michelle as the bell rang for the next guy to go out.
"You drew number 3?" Andrea asked. I smiled as I went out to the ring. "This is going to be a long night." I told myself.

Sheridan and I arrived at the hotel after dropping the students off at the airport. I went straight for the TV and ordered the Royal Rumble. "Wow, check that out." Sheridan said as the match came on TV. There were only six people left in the Rumble match: Andrea, Edge, Triple H, Stone Cold, Ice and Rob Van Dam.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The six final participants in the Rumble started brawling with each other, Triple H and Austin went at it, Ice and RVD went at it and Andrea and Edge went at it. Ice and RVD brawled all over the ring, but when RVD went up top to attempt the Five Star frog splash, Ice kicked the top rope sending RVD crashing to the outside. RVD was eliminated.
Ice then went over to Andrea and Edge and clotheslined both over the top rope eliminating both of them. It was now down to Stonecold, Triple H and Ice. All three men glared at each other as they started to brawl. Ice and Stonecold wound up on the ropes, Triple H saw his opening and clotheslined both men over the top eliminating both. Triple H is the winner of the 2002 Royal Rumble.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sheridan left for her room and I laid down to rest as well. The next morning I drove to the next venue alone. I arrived on time as always, Brandon met me there. "Hey kid, sorry about tonight." "Why what's happening?" I asked. "You don't know?" He said. "No, what?" I asked. He shook his head and walked off.
Stephanie came up to me and gave me a match listing for tonight."Believe me, I tried." Stephanie said. I looked over the match and saw that I had to lose the Women's Title to Jazz and sell an injury to her as well. "Oh well, I'll get it back, I hope." I said. I then went to Jazz's dressing room, when I went in she was talking to Michelle and Leah. "Hey champ" I said.
