Announcers, Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler
Written by, AJ Diaz and William Flener
“The WWF World Championship at stake, while a fierced Giant is set to conquer sports entertainment...A man seek’s revenge from a legend set to challenge the world...The Owner of the greatest sports entertainment franchise in the world, struggling to maintain order in a place he calls home...The Tag Team Titles to be once again held with honor...A young lion on the ladder to greatness is met by a obstacle, that is set to take him on the ride of his life...many will be given the chance while others....will be executed...the time has arrived and there is no time to hide...the end is here...this is Armageddon!!!”
A beautifull display of pyrotechnics explode over the entrance of the site that is Armageddon. The musical theme for this event, “The End” is heard throughout the arena, while the sold out crowd are on their feet. Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler are at the announce booth and they are ready to welcome us to the show. JR, “It is my honor to welcome you, to the last PPV of the year. This is Armageddon! I am Jim Ross and with me is Jerry “The King” Lawler and It is our pleasure to be hosting this event here tonight.” King, “ Yes it is, tonight is the last WWF event of the year and the last place for alot of wrestlers here tonight, this is Armageddon, baby and this time of the year, It does not get any bigger than this!” JR, “Four titles will be defended here tonight, including the crowning of a NEW tag team to carry the Tag Team Titles with honor!” King, “Don’t forget the main event here tonight, between The Giant and Kurt Angle. A lot of fans have been doubting Kurt Angle, this past week and I hope, our American Hero can, pull this one of.” JR, “Kurt Angle probably one of the best, I’ve ever seen and he has a lot of heart, he will fight to the end folks.” King, “Of course here tonight, over the ring is hovering the structure, that many say, has been done by the devil himself. Edge and The Undertaker will fight, inside Hell in a Cell and I dont like the chances of Edge here tonight.” JR, “It will be a war to remember, ladies and gentlemen. Also here tonight a Steel Cage will be erected around that ring, when Goldberg faces Ric Flair and that is a feud, that has really burned for the past couple of week’s.” King, “I still cannot believe that Ric Flair is part of the WWF and I hope Goldberg gets the job done.” JR, “Tonight, It has been promised, Shane McMahon the owner of this company has a huge announcement and I wonder what it is.” King, “I do to JR. You got to remember, Shane is a McMahon and like all McMahon’s, when they say special, they mean it!” JR, “We will kick this of, with the European Title being decided, which has been carried by the team of the United Nations and none other than Dean Malenko”

European Title Match
“The Shooter” Dean Malenko versus “Mr. Aguila” Essa Rios
The United Nation’s theme is heard and from the back emerges, the WWF European Title holder, Dean Malenko. The crowd greet him with a chorus of boo’s. Dean climbs into the squared circle and hands the European Title to the referee in charge of the match. Lillian Garcia introduces the challenger for the belt, Essa Rios to a great pop from the fans here in Florida. The Mexican luchador climbs into the ring, while the referee calls for the opening bell. Essa Rios and the Iceman stare at each other before they lock up in the center of the ring. Dean Malenko overpowers Essa Rios into the corner of the ring where he nails him with some right hands to the top of his head and some over hand chops to the chest. Malenko takes Rios out of the corner with a snap mare and hits a low dropkick to his back, before applying a sleeper hold. Dean Malenko showing his technical expertise is attempting to put Essa Rios out, but the former Mr. Aguila reaches deep into his gut and reaches vertical base. The sleeper hold has turned into a chin lock, allowing Essa to fight back with some elbows into the sternum. He hits Malenko with some right hands to the side of the face before sending him into the ropes with a Irish whip. Dean Malenko slides under and between his legs and brings him of balance, sending him chest first into the canvas. Dean slides over him and applies a STF submission hold and has managed to keep Essa Rios grounded with his technical power. The referee continues to ask Essa if he wants to give up but Konnan’s partner refuses to tap out. Rios reaches the bottom rope and Dean Malenko is forced to break up the hold. Essa slides himself out of the ring in order to regroup. Malenko slides out of the ring and look’s to clothesline his challenger but Essa bends over and sends him crashing hard into the protective mats on the outside with a back body drop! Essa climbs the ring apron and lands on Malenko with a Springboard cross body, using the middle rope! Rios slides him into the ring and climbs to the top turnbuckle, Malenko is up and Essa look’s for a hurricarrana from the heavens but to no avail, Dean counters with a one man Flapjack!! The Iceman begins to stomp the hell out of Essa Rios with a lot of anger, before looking for the cover, One…Two…Essa Rios gets the shoulder of the canvas. Dean Malenko lifts him up and nails him with some right hands before sending him into the ropes, Rios comes back and leap frogs over him and nails him dead in the back with a perfect dropkick sending him through the middle rope and to the outside! Essa Rios climbs out to the ring apron and scores with a Hurricarrana on Malenko!! Dean is stunned on the outside and Rios rolls him back into the ring, he stands on the ring apron and hits a springboard senton, over the third rope and onto the European champion, One…Two…Thr, Dean Malenko kicks out knowing what is at stake in this match. Essa Rios “helps” the Man of 1,000 holds up and look’s to suplex him but Dean blocks it and comes back with a snap suplex, looking for another cover, One…two…Thr, Essa kicks out. Dean goes into the ropes and comes back dropping a forearm over the head of Essa, as he look’s for another cover, One…Two…Thr, Rios continues to remain on this match as he kicks out. Malenko sends Essa into the corner with a irish whip but Essa reverses by holding onto his wrist. He climbs to the top turnbuckle and hits his signature Springboard Arm Drag!! The Iceman stumbles up to his feet, while Essa runs into the ropes and past him, coming from behind and scoring with a neckbracker. Dean Malenko goes down and Essa goes to the top turnbuckle, he signals for it with his back turned to the champion. Essa flies of the top with the Phoenix Dive!! (Moonsault) but nobody there, Dean Malenko has moved out of the way, Essa has hit the canvas at full speed, he staggers up into a kick to the stomach and Dean sets him up for what appears to be a Powerbomb. Essa Rios counters sending the Iceman over his back and to the canvas, Essa has a bridge over him, One…Two…Thre, Dean kicks out at the nick of time. Malenko appears to be injured? He is holding his knee and is agonizing in pain very badly, the referee is checking on him with his back turned to Essa Rios. Down the ramp to a lot of heat from the fans, comes William Regal and he is carrying a steel chair at hand. He walks into the ring and surprises a distracted Essa with a vile chairshot to the back of the head!!! Down the ramp runs Konnan, Essa’s partner and catches William Regal with a flurry of right hands, backing him up the ramp. Konnan and Regal exchange right hands at the near the Armageddon entrance. Back in the ring, Dean Malenko is now up and grabs Mr. Aguila by the legs applying his finisher, the Texas Cloverleaf!! Essa Rios is out cold and has no other option but to submit to the move.
Winner and STILL European Champion, Dean Malenko 11:12
Dean Malenko is handed the European Title while the crowd boo the decision of the match. Essa Rios is stumbling up to his feet and out of nowhere, Dean Malenko nails him in the side of the head with the European Title!
JR, “If cheating his way to victory, was not bad enough, he has to attack his opponent after the match.” King, “This is all part of the Armageddon vibe, JR. You have to hand it to both men that was a great opener and I think the better man one.” JR, “It was a heck of a contest but It is disturbing to see, a talented performer like Dean Malenko treat his opponents like they are nothing, king!” King, “Oh settle down, JR!” JR, “Oh wait a second…we have received word that, one of our representatives is standing backstage with the Undertaker.”
Michael Cole is standing in front of the Deadman’s locker room. Into the picture steps, none other than the Undertaker himself. Cole, “Undertaker for the past few week’s you and Edge have engaged in a heated rivalry unlike, anything we have seen recently. You have expressed why and Edge has told us why and the owner of this great company, Shane Mcmahon looking to end this war, has signed for tonight a Last Man Standing Rules, Hell in a Cell match. Your thought’s going into the match?” Taker, “The Hell in a Cell, has been the match where I make people famous. Look at Shawn Michaels, look at Mick Foley, look at anyone that has stepped into that Cell with me and tell me, that at this very moment they are not riding high? You know, those guys are at the top of this industry but let me tell you something, their bodies cannot go through the same hell they did when they were around Edge’s age. So let me remind you, that tonight inside that Cell, It will be Edge’s funeral. Because I promised him a one way ticket to the depths of hell and that is what he is gonna get. The very best of the Deadman.” Undertaker walks out of the picture and Michael Cole is standing perfectly still, in fear as he says, “There you have it…back to you guys.”
King, “Boy oh Boy, I don’t like the chances of Edge going into this match, If I was him I would get the hell out of the arena as soon as possible.” JR, “You seem to doubt that young lion way to much. He wont back out, but we have seen many battles inside that Cell and we have witnessed what It can and has done to people’s carrears. “
( Some past footage is shown of Chavo Guerrero and Red’s tag team alliance, leading to tonight’s first contender match. Whoever wins the match, faces Tajiri for the Cruserweight Title, later tonight. )

JR, “Both of these young studs are extremely talented, both amazing competitors and If they could work out their issues, they could be a extraordinary tag team combination. But tonight they will square of in a contest to determine who will face the Japanese Buzzaw for the coveted, Cruserweight Title.” Chavo Guerrero and the Amazing Red stare at each other while the opening bell is heard. Both of these competitors shake hands and begin to pace around each other. Keep in mind both of these guys know themselves pretty well and this should be a even out contest. Red and Chavo lock up with a collar and elbow tie up, Chavo takes control with a front face lock. Red rams him into the corner and Chavo is forced to break up the hold. Red gives Chavo some space and lock up once again, this time Chavo takes the control with a side head lock take over. Red breaks out with some head scissors around the neck, but Chavo thinks the same way and wraps his legs around the neck of his opponent.

Chavo stands on the top turnbuckle and look’s for a Frogsplash…but there is nobody there! Red has moved out of harms way and both men remain down for the next minute or so. Red begins to move and picks up Chavo, Red is looking for his finisher “Code Red!” but no! Chavo counters and sends him into the ropes, putting him over them with a clothesline but Red lands on the ring apron and shoulders Chavo in the stomach, between the ropes. He then suplexes Chavo over the third rope, crashing to the outside. Red, springboard of the second rope, then the third, before landing with a Moonsault on Chavo Guerrero!!! Red slides him into the ring and does not cover as he places Chavo on the top turnbuckle!?

He slids it into the ring and then climbs in through the ropes. Konnan walks over to Regal, who looks unconcious, and pulls him out of the corner. He then sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring. Regal has stumbled to his feet, and is clutching at his shoulders in pain.

Edge is standing backstage when Mark Lloyd walks up to him. Mark, “Edge, can I have a word with you?” Edge turns around and is rather serious and says, “Sure Mark.” Mark Lloyd, “Well, I am gonna cut to the chase, what are you feeling going into Hell in a Cell with Undertaker?” Edge, “You know what I am feeling. I am scared, you can say I am terrified. I know that I can be haunted for life about this match and It is probably one of the biggest of my carrear, when I was growing up I used to watch Undertaker run a path of destruction over the entire WWF and I once told myself, that If I ever faced him in the ring, that I would make it worth while. See call me crazy, but I want the Edgeheads to remember this match for a long time. I want the world to remember me as the man that put a end to 12 years of destruction and even If I have to go out there and die trying, I am going to achieve my goal...Why!? ‘Cause I can and will. I told him once and I will tell him again there is not stopping me, I believe that I can do it. Just like Shawn Michaels believed at the first ever Hell in a Cell in himself...Tonight Undertaker, I will show you the true meaning of the word respect and you will learn to respect me!” Edge walks of and Mark Lloyd is left looking rather confused.
JR, “Edge appears to be as focused as can be. I talked to him before this arena was was filled with these screaming fans and he was worried about his match with Undertaker, he was worried about his future after tonight and I tell you, he will give it his all, he will leave his sould in that ring!” King, “Once again, I need to tell you, that Undertaker is determined to put Edge in his place and that will be next. I cant wait.”
( In a decade a man, rules a world...sending those who opposse him on a trip of no return...while a young boy grows into a man and gets a chance to accomplish a life long dream....”Edge just beat Shawn Michaels!” “Stone Cold goes down!” “Edge is the new World Champion!”...”Undertaker with the Tombstone on Sid” “Taker has just sent Mankind all the way to hell” “Deadman has Triple H, Last Ride!”...the time is now, WWF presents Hell in a Cell! )
Hell in a Cell
Last Man Standing Rules Match
Edge versus The Undertaker
The Cell begins to be lowered surrounding the ring as the fans are cheering at the top of their lungs. “Deadman Walking!!!” The man with a degree on mayhem and Destruction, rides his bike down the ramp as the fans give him a HUGE amount of heat. He rides around the cell and parks the motorcycle near the announce table. JR, “A lot of history for that man inside Hell in a Cell.”
“You Think you Know me!!!” Rob Zombies “Never Going to stop” is heard throughout the arena as the sold out crowed, rise in unison for the arrival of Edge!!! Edge takes of his trenchcoat halfway down the ramp and his shades as he stares at the Cell that has been lowered. Undertaker walks around the Cell and to the front of it, as he is taunting Edge, while the canadian superstar stares back at him. Edge sprints down the ramp and engages in a all out brawl fest with the Undertaker. Edge gains the advantage over Undertaker, giving him all hes got with hard right hands to the face as he showers all his anger and frustration over the Deadman. Edge sends Taker head first into the outer wall of the Cell, as Taker bounces back into a clothesline from Edge. He mounts Taker and bounces his head of the floor several times, also hitting further right hands. Edge lifts Taker up and sends him face first into the security barrier as the crowd are cheering for the Enigma.

Undertaker is holding his throat, while Edge is on the top turnbuckle and catches Taker with a Spear from the top turnbuckle! He goes down and Edge appears to be hurt.

Edge sends him over with a clothesline and Undertaker on his way down, has hurt his head on the ring apron and is bleeding profusely from a wound. Edge climbs out of the ring and nails further right hands on Taker...then goes onto bounce his head to the steel wall, Edge has a demented look in his eyes as he rakes the head of the deadman all over a wall of the cell!! The Enigma begin to search for something beneath the ring and after a while, drags out...a 2x4 covered in barbwire!! Shades of Cactus Jack!! He stares at it for a moment and does not notice Undertaker which makes a comeback with a elbow to the back of the head.

Undertaker sends Edge into the ropes and on his way back is put down by a one hand, Chokeslam!! Undertaker is checking his wound while the referee is making the count from the outside, he is already down to five as Edge gets to his knees. The Deadman showing his dominance over him gives a boot to the head of Edge, sending him once again down to the canvas. But Edge is back on his knees asking for more. Undertaker lands further jabs to the blood pouring head of Edge, before going into the ropes and dropping the point of his elbow to the top of his head. Edge rolls out of the ring and Undertaker runs of the opposite ropes and dives through the middle ropes, but Edge dodges out of the way and Taker lands head first into the STEEL!! The Enigma takes apart the steel steps and drags Taker over the bottom steps. He looks for what appears to be a Piledriver but the Deadman back body drops Edge over him, sending him back first into the Cell’s wall and landing on the floor! Undertaker picks Edge up and irish whips him into the Door of the cell and the Door does not open and Edge rebouns holding his back and howling in pain into a clothesline. Taker grabs Edge up and scoops him over his shoulder, ramming him head first into the Cell’s door, as the blood is just pouring out of his head.

Undertaker drags Edge by the hair and body slams him on the outside...but The Enigma is now up and has a look of fury as he Spear’s his arch nemesis into the wall of the CELL and begins bouncing his head from the steel, several times. Undertaker is now bleeding even more, while Edge gets a hold of a steel chair, he stares at the crowd and brings it over the head of Taker, to a sickening thud! You can see the blood stains on the chair, while Edge goes onto HAMMER time after time, with the chair, the body of the Undertaker. Edge drops the chair and stares at the top of the cell, he begins to climb it!! JR and The King are loosing control adn you can hear JR begging Edge to come down. Edge is on the top of the cell and begins to pace around is looking at all the fans, but soon enough, The Undertaker is up and smells blood as he begins to climb to the top of his world. Taker is almost up top and Edge begins to stomp on his fingers, that are on the ledge of the Cell!!! The Undertaker manages to trip one of the feet of Edge bringing him down on the top of the Cell and saving himself as he climbs up and over. The Deadman and the Enigma now begin a exchange of countless right and left hands, each man getting the best from each other for the next several minutes. Taker gets a kick to the stomach of Edge and places him in piledriver/powerbomb position and he lifts his fist up in the air. He brings him up and drives him to the top of the Cell into the STEEL with the infamous, LAST RIDE!!! The crowd begin “Holy Shit” chants over and over again, while JR is heard screaming, “HOW IN THE HELL DOES A HUMAN BEING STAND THAT PAIN? HOW CAN EDGE STILL BE ABLE TO FIGHT!?” Edge is down and the referee all the way from the bottom of the Cell, begins to count, while the fans being “Let’s Go Edge!” Chants. The ref is already in the count of 5 and continues, 6...7...8....9...Edge is up to his feet!! That was real close.

What on Earth would possess one human being to do that to another?!"
Lawler says, "I don't know, but Goldberg isn't moving! We need some medical attention out here now!" EMTs quickly rush out to attend to the lifeless body of Goldberg! The crowd is booing Ric Flair, The Giant, and Jerry Lynn unmercifully as they stand over the bodies of Shane, Rey, and Edge in the ring. Angle tries to crawl back into the ring, but Giant runs over and slams the cage door into his face knocking back to the floor. Lynn picks up the mic and says, "All of you f*ckers who are booing us can go straight to Hell! We are trying to help you all out and this is the thanks we get?! Shane McMahon is going to ruin the WWF just like he tried to do to WCW before Ric Flair got control of it! Ric Flair was the man who gave me my time to shine in WCW, not Shane McMahon! Not to mention that Vince McMahon wasted my talent when I was in the WWF before, and also in WCW! That is why I left WCW! Flair brought this plan to me a few weeks ago! He said go to WWF and get a foot hold there! The Giant and I will soon follow, and together we will run Shane McMahon out of WWF and take his power from him! Then we will control the WWF!" Flair takes the mic as the crowd continue to boo and hurl trash at the cage. He says, "And as you can see, step one has been completed! We just annihilated one of Shane's biggest stars! When we are able to rid the WWF of the rest of Shane's handpicked Superstars, we will restock the WWF with true deserving talent who have been overlooked for far too long! I will see to it that guys like The Giant and Jerry Lynn are no longer over looked, and that they will get the chance to shine! So take a good look, because you are looking at the future of the World Wrestling Federation!"

Kurt Angle still has to defend his title and the match has been scheduled to take place next but he just cant!!!” King, “I have never witnessed such a thing, this is unbealivable, I am speechless. These guys need help.”
Jerry Lawler drops the head set and is helping EMT’s aid Goldberg placing him on a stretcher and taking him to the back, while fans are in “uaaaaah” and cant believe it either. Everyone has been helped to the back and the only one left in the ring as the Cage has been dismantled is the WWF World Champion, Kurt Angle. The King comes down the ramp once again and Jim Ross has stepped down of the announce table and both him and JR are helping Kurt Angle.

Kurt Angle does not let go and lifts the 500 pounder once again and drives him into the canvas with yet another, German Suplex!!

Kurt Angle has the cover over the Giant and gets the One...Two...Thre, The Giant overpowers Angle of him and stands straight up. Kurt Angle does not look intimidated and attemps to lock up with the Giant after a brief moment of back and forth, Giant gains advantage with a knee lift into the stomach of Angle, before tossing him over the ropes and to the outside.

Kurt climbs into the ring and to the top turnbuckle, he yells, “WOOO” and lands on The Giant with a High Cross Body and both men are down on the outside. Kurt Angle is up and looks for a steel chair, which he folds. The Giant is now up and Earl Hebner warns Kurt Angle not to use the chair. The American Hero does not give a damn and lands a hard chairshot to the skull of the Giant!! He rolls him back into the ring and Kurt has the steel chair at hand, he drops it in the center of the ring and when he turns around, Paul Wight is up and almost beheads him with a Boot to the head. Kurt staggers into the ropes and walks into what appears to be the Showstopper (chokeslam) but Kurt gets a low blow into Giant and drives him into the chair with a DDT!! Kurt has the cover but somehow not even a one count. The Giant stands up, Kurt Angle looks dead in his eyes, Giant lets out a evil howl and both men are now hammering into each other! Giant with the upper hand as he misses a punch that nails the referee!! Earl Hebner goes down and Giant could give a damn, he picks up Kurt Angle and plants him in the ring with a Piledriver!! Giant has the cover there is no referee. He begins to shake Earl Hebner but Kurt Angle is now up and grabs Giant from behind, you gotta be kidding!? ANGLE SLAM!!! Jim Ross and The King are going crazy as he just Angel Slammed 500 pounds of a man. He has the cover the referee is not up...wait!
