IN YOUR HOUSE: MARTY JANNETTY VS. GOLDBERG

Some people are born into greatness, others have to fight tooth and nail for it. Sometimes even with all the talent in the world you're looked over, passed by, and ignored. When that happens you have a choice. You can fight, and make people see you, or you can wallow in the muck that is your existence, content to never be anything greater.

Marty Jannetty had a choice to make when Shawn Michaels threw him through a window. He could stay down, while Michaels' soaked up the spotlight and wore golden belts around his waist, or he too could rise up and challenge the World Wrestling Federation, and stake his own claim to fame. Marty Jannetty chose to stand, he chose to fight, and while it wasn't always easy, he's forcing WWF brass and fans all around the world to notice him. This leads us to In Your House, where one match can put him on a direct path to a title match, or send him back to the bottom of the barrel.

Our scene begins in the locker room after Mania. Jannetty just put the entire WWF on notice by making short work of Raven, and possibly even ending his career. He sits in a chair in the corner of the room, still with his wrestling gear on. He's leaning back with his eyes closed, and who knows what's going through his troubled, excited mind. He noticed the camera though and sits up, ready to address the world.

Marty Jannetty: You know what? again I made a statement. My whole career lately has been a statement hasn't it? Every match I prove somebody wrong. Every time I step into the ring I'm proving that I can go with the best of em, and hell, I am the best of em. Every night I go out there I give the people the show of shows. I give em what they crave, man. Marty Jannetty IS wrestling - and the hottest act going, make no mistake about it.

Jannetty sighs in relief at the thought, and continues.

Marty Jannetty: Hey man, and after my performance tonight? there's no more doubt. I went out there and I destroyed Raven before he even made it to the ring and Gorilla Monsoon had no choice but to notice that, and now at In Your House I have a chance to become the number one contender for the Intercontinental title, and it's about time isn't? Nobody has worked harder than me, nobody has wanted it more than this high flyin' Rocker, and I earned it. Only thing in my way? 285lbs of muscle named Bill Goldberg...

Jannetty grabs a bottle of gatorade sitting next to him and takes a big gulp before he continues.

Marty Jannetty: A lot of people might see this as a road block that I can't pass, but I'll prove those people wrong again when I step into that ring and out-wrestle the behemoth, and come out with that sweet one two three. See Goldberg is big, and no doubt he's a strong dude, but I've seen his work and he's all clumsy. He relies on his brute strength and that's just not going to work with this Rocker, oh no. Goldberg I'm going to take you to school at In Your House. You're used to having your way with people, but this is my time to shine, and there can only be one winner man. You WILL go down to that Rocker Dropper and you WILL stay down, I'll make sure of it!

Jannetty's blood seems start pumping as he talks about Goldberg and what's at stake. He gets up from his chair and tosses it across the room with one hand. He looks into the camera aggressively.

Marty Jannetty: This is it for me. This is my time, and In Your House is MY night. Goldberg will not stand in my way and once I become the number one contender to that strap there's no turning back. Marty Jannetty WILL be a champion, and a champion for the people. The fans that always saw something in me. The fans that stood with me from the bottom of the barrel up to now. The fans that love to rock n'roll with me night in and night out, man. So to all you fans I love so much, at In Your House you might see a different Marty Jannetty. You might see somebody you're not too familiar with, but I promise you I'm still here and regardless of what I have to do in that match, I promise you I will never turn on you, just as you've never turned on me, and Monsoon, Vince? I'll go ahead and tell ya I told you so in advance, cause soon I AM your Intercontinental Champ!

Jannetty smiles into the camera as he walks towards it while the view continues to back up till we're out of his locker room and he's standing in the door way. He winks and slams the door shut. The scene ends.
