Re: Starrcade: UWF Championship - Stone Cold (c) vs. Wade Barrett
Wade Barrett takes that prolonged pause to draw heat from the audience before responding with something he has noticed from most American wrestlers he has faced in the UWF.
Wade Barrett: you know, if I had a pound for every-time someone said that around here I would be a billionaire. "God Save The Queen" is not a request, nor a statement, nor a wish. It is merely a sign of respect. But of course, as Americans always do, trying to be clever when you oh so clearly aren't, you try and over-think a solitary turn of phrase and believe that I am actually making a request. Do I seem like the religious type Austin? Have you ever heard me stroll down this ramp and make bible references. No, see, I don't think I'm some Austin 3:16 rip-off.... and not even an Cody Rhodes 6:25 rip-off either. In hindsight, I am still skeptical to the actual fact that God even exists. Maybe the big bang did create everything because, if there was a God, for you at least Stone Cold, then the referee would have hesitated to make the final pin-fall count in my match against Rob Van Dam and I would have never been made the number one contender to my own Undisputed Championship. Yeah, you can re-dress it any way you like and change from two to one straps, I'm still referring to it as my own because with everything that has happened the past couple of weeks, I am counting the only fair thing to happen with the championship, is our match on Sunday. One on one, for the belt, the way this built into such a phenomenon that you and I thrived to be part of. Not these contracts you can cash in any time you like putting the champion at a dis-advantage, and not a multi-man match that literally anything can happen in.
Wade looks around at the crowd not buying his get out clauses for losses in his last two championship matches.
One thing I will give you Austin is maybe you were right about how I may have burnt myself out had I taken the tag match with the New World Order too seriously. I have had the much tougher run-in since our Fatal Four Way match at Backlash. While you get a debut rookie, I had to solidify my position as the spearhead coming towards your championship, next week you get a week off when I get my hands full with one of the most impressive debuts of recent weeks, who only last week beat Randy Orton.... but I won. Then you had a match with the man that I turned from a juggernaut to a mere mortal CM Punk, and well, myself and Antonio had decided that our respective championship battles this Sunday were more important than this group warfare that Randy Orton has decided to take a personal ventedetta, whether it be jealousy or just revenge I took his opportunity for the Undisputed Championship off him. But as myself and Cesaro spoke about our match on Raw, you were the only thing in my mind, and I know Cesaro could only see Miz. So, we never exerted ourselves. I knew I had a contract signing to come out for, and that you were going to be fresh only having your match at the start of the show and you know what..... Well.... I'll leave it to the tron to explain this one.
Yeah, you're not the only one with access with past footage. But a few noticeable differences between my footage and your delve into the archives. Number one, mine is way more recent, so therefore you can trust that to be a lot more reliable to the truth. What you showed of me, was still in my rookie company, in my rookie year, before I honed my skills to become the World Champion that I am today. Second of all, what you showed was an absolute joke of a contest from back in the day. What I showed was how you tried to get the upper hand on me, but failed. And you went crashing through a table for your troubles. No matter what you say about you having a win and I having a loss on the last show means, nothing compares to the lasting image of me holding my championship above my head, whilst standing over you, unable to get to your feet. But, what I suggest, is you hold that feeling you had at the end of Raw, you learn from it..... and you just get used to it, because the end of Starrcade is going to feel exactly the same.
The crowd boo but Barrett smirks and keeps the microphone raised.
You know, it's quite funny that not only you brought up footage of my past, but you went through my whole past like as if it even matters. I could grab a steel chair, sit down in the middle of the ring and reel off a whole load of your past failings and near accomplishments, what was meant to be and what not. I could sit here and talk about how you bitched about facing Brock Lesnar in a King of the Ring match because you just couldn't cut it no more. But I'm not going to. I'm not going to speak about all the past times you have failed before because, unfortunately, I had nothing to do with them. Instead, what I am going to do is make a solemn vow to you, to Wolfe, to the locker room, and to every single person here that shouts what every time you come up for air. The Barrett Barrage is going to be your latest failing. The way you still owe Austin Aries a championship rematch, the way you spent from your own pocket to redesign the belt, and the countless times you have come out here trying to force yourself upon us as the face of the UWF. You can re-package it all up, talk to your good friends in the media department, find a nice fancy theme music and sell it as the latest DVD. The title practically writes itself don't you think.

Wade Barrett wears the unmovable grin that everyone has grown accustomed to see with him, as Austin looks next to take the microphone.

With that, Austin kicks Barrett in the gut, looking for The Stunner. Barrett pushes Austin in the back as he reaches for his head and Austin bounces off the far ropes. As Austin comes back, Barrett lifts him off the mat and hits the Winds of Change side slam. Barrett then goes to pick up the table he just flipped over. He sets it up, before turning his attention back to Austin. Austin is still struggling to recover, and Barrett lifts him off the mat and places him on his shoulders. Barrett walks over to the table before screaming and bringing Austin down through the table with Wasteland. Austin's body crashes through the wood and Barrett stands tall. Barrett then turns around, and spots Austin's title. He picks it up and holds it high. This is the last thing we see before Raw goes off the air.
