We come back from a commerical break and the familiar music of Rikishi comes over the PA System and out walks the former WWF Champion.
JR: Wow, after losing to Christopher Daniels a few weeks back Rikishi fell of the face of the earth for a couple of weeks.
King: You can say that again, I guess it is true. The bigger they are the harder they fall.
Rikishi walks out looking humble and not nearly as energetic as usual. He gets to the ring and sighs as he steps through the ropes. He has a Mic in hand and is slow to start speaking but eventually does.
Rikishi: Eight Months .... it has been eight months since I was not competing for a WWF Chmpionship on Pay Per View. All the way back to November. I had almost forgotten what it felt like to stand here not only barren without a title on on shoulder or around my waist ... but to also have nothing right infront of me. It kind of feels empty to be honest.
Rikishi looks down and the crowd starts to chant his name. RI_KI_SHI ...RI_KI_SHI !!. He smiles at there efforts and continues.
Rikishi: Most guys when they get knocked off the horse get right back on. I didn't even felt like I lost the WWF Title ... so I didn't really felt knocked off until Daniles took me out fair and square. 1...2..3 in the center of the ring and a shot at the Undisputed Title ... gone. For nine months I returned and have grinded it out with a full schedule. It has finally after all this time gotten to me. My age is catching up with me. I need a break.
The crowd boos at this, they don't want to hear this talk.
Rikishi: You see when i came back I was a wreck it took me nearly a month to really get going and for the next 9 after that I have been going so hard and didn't hold back one single piece of myself that ... I am out of fuel. I am going into Summerslam on Fumes. I have JUST enough left in me for one more Sunday. If I am going to go out ... I want to go out in style with a bang.
The crowd cheers for this and Rikishi finally smiles at them.
Rikishi:The thing is I have fought nearly everyone here and I am tired of looking for a fight. I am here and waiting ... I want the fight to come to me. I warn you though I might be worn down but after 8 straight ppvs undefeated don't think I will go down easy. I have lost my Championships, I have lost me energy, but I still have one last thing ... my streak. If anyone in the back wants to take it from me you are going to have to do it in style because I am going to go out .... in a Hardcore Match. Tables, Ladders, Chairs, Trashcans, Singapore Canes, Guitars ... you name we can use it. If anyone is willing, if anyone is daring enough, if anyone has the balls .... bring it.
Rikishi faces the entrance ramp and waits for anyone to accept the challenge.
(( OPEN TO ANYONE not in a SummerSlam Match. Can you be the first to defeat Rikishi at PPV? ))

Vis
Keesh, Keesh, Keesh. Settle down, brother.
Big Vis makes his way from the back, stepping out onto the stage, a mic in his hand.
Vis
You're freaking out man, you just need to. . . Relax.
Vis makes his way down the ring, smiling the entire time.
Vis
I get it, I do. You're upset about losing your title, about being kicked off the Summerslam card, about being forgotten. But I'm here to help. I'm here to make you relax. You're out here, issuing challenges, two weeks before Summerslam, to anyone in the back? That's not like you, man. This isn't you.
Vis climbs the steps and steps over the top rope, walking right up to Rikishi.
Vis
That's why I'm here. I don't want some punk to come out here and put you down. I don't want some idiot backstage to end your streak off of a fluke. I don't want that. You don't deserve it. That's why I'm stepping up to the challenge. As your friend, and you're colleague.
Vis cracks a smile as Rikishi steps back, taking a deep breath. The two stare at each other for a moment before Vis raises his mic.
Vis
Let me answer your challenge, Keesh. Let's put on a show, the two Goliath's of WWF, colliding at the biggest part of the summer. What do you say. . . Friend?
Vis extends his arm, waiting for Rikishi to shake it.
