WWE Monday Night RAW1993

Triple H:
I showed up. Apparently, all of you showed up. You know, I stood in this ring a week ago, bewildered, saw something that I never thought I would ever see. Fifty-five, some superstars, a few camera guys, some techs, all of the referees, all of the announcers, and they all walked out.

[the audience boos]

Triple H:
Never thought I'd see it, but they walked out of Monday Night Raw. Thing is, they didn't walk out on me. They walked out on all of you. And those... superstars now stand outside in the parking lot, holding some kind of "solidarity rally". Apparently, the WWE and Raw has "gotten too tough for them". "It's hard here," they-they "just can't do it anymore." So they're all standing outside, and from what I understand, they all have their gear. They all have their wrestling gear, but not one of them is gonna step in this building to perform for you.

[the audience boos again, louder]

Triple H:
Unless... unless I step down.

[the audience boos a third time]

Triple H:
If I am no longer running Monday Night Raw, then they will all come back. So what should I do? Should I... should I walk away?

[the audience chants "no"]

Triple H:
Should I quit?

[the audience chants "no" again]

Triple H:
I dunno. Maybe I should. Maybe I should just go, you know? But... here's the problem I have with it, you know? Because... I-I've just never been a quitter, you know? It's just not in me. I-I... I can't- I can't do it. I just-I just... I will not quit, you know? And-and I-I will not be intimidated! I will not be coerced! I will not be blackmailed! And I will not quit!

[the audience cheers]

Triple H:
So what that means is all you guys in the parking lot, you can pucker up real nice and kiss me where my cheeks meet! Because this is they way it goes: I don't care if I gotta take off this suit, strip down to my tighty-whities, get a broomstick in this ring, I'll wrestle the broomstick for two hours! Hell, I've wrestled a lot of the guys in that parking lot, the brookstick'll give me a better match than most of 'em. Come hell or high water, I am giving you Monday Night Raw! I am giving you a show tonight!

[the audience cheers; after a moment, John Cena's music hits and Cena joins Triple H in the ring]

John Cena:
There was a reason that I wasn't involved with the group's decision last week on Monday Night Raw. It's the same reason that I haven't addressed the press, or the tens of millions of people on social media who wanna know where I stand on this issue. Confidence or no confidence? And there's been a lot of people that said that that fifty-five person walkout in the parking lot would be a lot stronger if one more man was added to that list. And ever since, the second that Hell in a Cell ended and I was brutally attacked at the second I pulled up to this building this morning, each one of those fifty-five personnel from superstars to cameramen to audio guys has contacted me personally and asked me to join them.

[the audience jeers]

John Cena:
You never even sent me so much as a text message asking me to stay. They want me out in that parking lot because they believe their boss is too focused on himself, doesn't see what's going on around him. They believe their boss is... egomaniacal, self-centered, and power hungry. Those are good points, those are good points. But a lot of those gentlemen and ladies sittin' out in that parking lot, you're their first boss. I've been here for a while, so I ran down a list of my bosses. I've worked for Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff.

[the audience jeers again]

John Cena:
Those are two of the most humble guys on the planet! I've worked for... Vickie Guerrero.

[more audience jeers]

John Cena:
I've worked for fifty-six celebrity general managers ranging from Shaquille O'Neal to Al Sharpton.

[more jeers]

John Cena:
I've been told what to do by an anonymous computer who's the general manager of Raw. And I managed to even make it through the Mike Adamle era. *That* was an unsafe workplace. You know, you were there. So I'm not out here tonight to tell you that you're my best friend. I'm here to tell you that you're my boss. I'm staying.

[the audience cheers]
