Deadly Games video package: Goldust and Ted DiBiase are in a lavish room. Goldust, seated in a beautiful leather armchair, is reading from a large leather-bound book. Ted DiBiase is by his side.

"Hello. I am your WWF Champion, Goldust, and this is... [i]Masterpiece Theater[/i]. I present to you a tale of hubris and avarice, as 6 unwitting wrestlers compete for a shot at your wWF champion... [snffffffff] Gooooooooldust. Tonight, you will see pain, you will see glory, you will see the sum total of the human condition... in the Deadly Games.

May I present to you... the
DRAMATIS PERSONAE

The Undertaker, who's still sore about my controlling him for months and using him to obtain the Money In The Bank briefcase, and with it this wWF title.
Fucktrain, a newcomer under the wing of my dear beneficiary Ted DiBiase.
Taz, formerly Ted DiBiase's golden child, who so callously turned on him before tearing a swath through his entire organization, culminating in a match at Wrestlemania where he submitted Steve Corino, the Million Dollar Prospect.
Vader, former wWF Champion, aiming to get back what once was his.
Mankind, looking for redemption after the betrayal of his former tag team partner Shawn Michaels.
The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels himself. Not only is he looking to regain the title he lost almost a year ago, but he wants to show his former partner just what was dragging Heartbreak down.

Of course, none of these contenders stand a chance once they get in the ring with me. Anything to add, Ted?"

"OH LORD, WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE! AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!"
