Vince McMahon comes out to the ring. Oh how nice it is to be back here in Calgary. Quite frankly, just like every other tourist, you make me feel right at home. Despite the asshole chant I would encourage my fellow americans to come up here to Canada and enjoy your hospitality. You people seem to get along just fine. And you are proud to say, "I am Canadian". Maybe the reason you are so proud is because you brought America ice hockey and strong beer? Or maybe your so proud because you coined a new phrase, the word "A". Whatever the reason I would encourage my fellow Americans to come visit here as long as they don't live here.

Chris Jericho's music starts up. Jericho comes out to the top of the stage. Jericho tries to talk on the mic but it does not work. Jericho gets a working mic and tells Vince since he has a billion dollar company you would think that he could get a mic that works. I want to get straight to the point. I want Steve Austin in a match for the WWF Championship and I want it right here, right now, tonight on Raw.

Who the hell do you think you are coming out here demanding a match against Austin? And who the hell do you think you are to come out here and interupt me.

Would you please shut the hell up. I know exactly who I am dealing with. A man that thinks that all his money makes him better than anybody else. A man that thinks he is a genetic jackhammer. You have definitely created two of the biggest sluts that the world has ever seem. The first one is obviously Stephanie. The secon one is your brand new private slut, Steve Austin. You also think you can sing. I want everyone here to watch this. Jericho shows a clip of Vince at the 1997 Slammy Awards singing "Stand Back". That's what I call entertainment.

Where did you find that footage? It was locked up in a safe. How did you get your hands on it? If you want your title match tonight you got it. But not the one you are thinking about. You will take on the Hardcore Champion, Big Show, in this very ring.

Chris Benoit comes out to the top of the stage. I can't just "stand back" and let you have all the fun tonight. Vince, while there is no doubt that your a great diverse entertainer, and since Jericho has a Hardcore match, the only match that the people would want to see more is me vs Steve Austin for the WWF Title. Not only do people think you are a great singer but they think your a great dancer. Benoit shows footage (same clip) of Vince dancing.

You think your real funny huh? Come out here and embarass me. Jericho you have your Hardcore title match. Benoit, you get to go against Rhyno. In the interest of fairness, whichever one of you is the more impressive in your matches, will face Austin for the WWF title. I will determine who is the most impressive.

Jericho and Benoit play some more footage of Vince singing and dancing, and they leave the stage. Vince leaves soon after.
