10/11 RAW

In a backstage segment, Rosey is apologizing profusely to The Hurricane for hitting The Fan last week. "My mask got turned... I thought you were--" Hurricane interrupts him, saying that he's not pissed because of what happened. Doesn't Rosey resent having to wear this ridiculous "RC Cola Man" get-up every week? "Not really. I mean, we're entertainers, right? The fans like it, and it's fun." Whatever...

Later on that night, in a tag team match pitting Hurricane and Rosey against Christian and Tyson Tomko, Hurricane gets knocked off the apron by Tomko, allowing Christian to hit the Unprettier for the win. After the match, Hurricane enters the ring and confronts Rosey. Rosey apologizes, but Hurricane isn't having it.

10/17 Heat

The main event is Hurricane versus Steven Richards. Richards is already in the ring. "Stand back! There's a Hurricane coming through!" The green lights come on and the video plays, but there's no Hurricane! Suddenly, Richards is assaulted from behind by...Shane Helms! Helms pounds the hell out of Richards before finally hitting the Vertebreaker. Coach and Al talk about how this is a side of The Hurricane they've never seen before!

10/18 RAW (night before Taboo Tuesday)

We see a locker room door with the Hurricane logo spray-painted over and "Shane Helms" painted underneath. Rosey tries to enter, but the door's locked, and Helms isn't responding.

Later in the night, Rosey comes to the ring (without Helms) for a match against Batista. Batista just destroys Rosey, and continues his assault after the match. Helms comes tearing down the aisle with a chair and lays out Batista. The crowd goes nuts! Suddenly, Helms wheels on Rosey and knocks him out, too! He grabs a microphone.

"I've been here for three years. THREE YEARS! In my three years with this company, do you know how many real opportunities I've had to win a title? NONE! Now, I'm on the ballot for Taboo Tuesday. One of twenty guys who could be fighting Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Title. And I won't get it. Because you people would rather see Shelton Benjamin get the shot. Or Batista. Or, heaven forbid, we get another Chris Jericho/Christian match! Well, you know what? I'm sick of it! I'm sick of having to change my name to 'Gregory,' because I had the misfortune of being born with the same first name as the boss' son! I'm sick of these stupid comedy bits where I pretend to be a superhero! I'm sick of being an entertainer. My name is Shane Helms, and I'm a wrestler! Now, I know I'm not the only one who's sick and (bleep) tired of the same guys getting the same opportunities every month. Who's sick of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Chris Benoit fighting for the World Title. Who's sick of television time - that could be used to give guys like me meaningful matches - being given over to a glorified beauty pageant and 'As The Kane Turns!' So, right now, I'm issuing a challenge. Anyone who's back there that feels the same way. Anyone in that locker room who is stuck wrestling on Heat so that Evolution can get a twenty-minute promo. Anyone in that locker room who hasn't appeared on pay-per-view in two years because the General Manager's nephew wants to be a wrestler. Anyone in that locker room who is stuck playing a (bleep) character, when all you want to do is be a wrestler. You know where to find me."

He throws down the microphone and storms off, leaving JR and the King speechless.

In the following weeks

Helms begins to amass something of an army. Guys like Sean Morley, Chuck Palumbo, and Lance Cade help Helms perform run-ins on midcard matches. Every week, someone knew joins the movement, cutting a promo on how being a porn star or a homosexual or "H.B. Cade" was making them look like a fool on national television when they deserved much better. Helms begins to drop hints about a leader. The man who inspired him to throw off his mask and embrace his true self. Speculation runs rampant that he's referring to Ric Flair, which leads to a huge blow-up between HHH and Flair, where HHH accuses Flair of trying to subvert his control over RAW. Flair swears it's not him, but Hunter doesn't believe him, possibly even having Batista "teach him a lesson" one week on RAW.

Finally, Bischoff snaps. He's sick of Helms and company ruining his show. He asks them what they want. All they want is an opportunity. He says, fine. You want an opportunity? You got it at Survivor Series. Your team wins? Pick a title match. If you lose? The mask goes back on.

Survivor Series

Shane Helms, Sean Morley, Chuck Palumbo, and Lance Cade vs. William Regal, Eugene, Rhyno, and Tajiri

On Heat before the show, Eugene is found bloodied and beaten in his team's locker room. Someone "got to the dear boy," and the prime suspect is Helms. Helms, after all, mentioned Eugene in the promo that started this whole thing. Regal needs to find a fourth member for his team.

Helms' team comes to the ring first. Rhyno and Tajiri come out, to be joined by Regal. There is a lengthy pause while the announcers speculate on who might be the fourth member of the team. "WHOOOOOOOOO!" The crowd goes absolutely apeshit for Ric Flair, who leads the team into the battle.

Tajiri is the first out after Rhyno accidentally Gores him instead of Palumbo. Palumbo then "Whacks" Rhyno for a second elimination. Morley attempts a top rope splash on Regal, but Regal gets his knees up, driving the wind out of Morley. A Regal Cutter gets the pin. Palumbo attempts to "Whack" Regal, but Regal trips him up and makes him tap to the Regal Stretch. However, before Regal realizes what's happened, Cade has entered the ring and schoolboyed him, grabbing a handful of tights for a three-count.

It's down to Helms and Cade against Flair. Flair enters the ring, and the crowd falls into a hush. Is Flair going to lay down for his new proteges? Suddenly, Eugene appears on the ramp! He dashes into the ring, and Helms and Cade hit the deck. The official tries to restrain Eugene, but Eugene accidentally elbows him in the face, knocking him out. Flair and Eugene stand together in the center of the ring, daring Helms and Cade to make a move. Suddenly, Eugene wheels around and DDTs Flair! Cade heads to the top rope and hits his diving elbow drop. A Vertebreaker from Helms gets the three-count.

The next night on RAW

Helms' group is in the ring, gloating about their victory. Bragging that they were beginning to accomplish their mission. Evolution's stranglehold on RAW was weakening, because they had made Triple H distrust Flair. But the best part of this whole situation was that they had allowed the man who made all this possible to come clean. Come on out here...Nick Dinsmore!

The "Eugene" music hits, and a newly-clean-shaven Dinsmore comes through the entrance. He does the Eugene head pat, then makes some rude gestures at the fans. He cuts a killer promo about how, for six years, he was considered one of the best technical wrestlers in the world. He'd put on five-star matches against the likes of Chris Benoit. When he finally got his opportunity to make it to the "big show," what did WWE do? Did they package him as the next big thing? Did they put him in technical matches with Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho and William Regal? No! They made him retarded! Now the truth is out. And with their victory at Survivor Series, this group is ready to announce that the title shot they want is...Nick Dinsmore against Triple H!

Armageddon

Of course, Hunter wins in a screwjob, because they're still building to a HHH/Orton match at Mania. However, Dinsmore looks amazing, and has instant credibility.

The Pros of this plan

1) It gives fantastic workers like Dinsmore, Helms, Cade, Morley, and Palumbo an upper-mid-card push.

2) It also gives them a chance to showcase their above-average (with the possible exception of Cade) mic skills.

3) It gives them a graceful excuse for getting Dinsmore out of the "Eugene" gimmick.

4) You get the next generation of main-event heels.

5) Fans will wonder every week if anyone's going to join them. Maybe even some SmackDown guys like Scott Taylor or the Bashams would start their own version of the group.

The Cons

1) These guys have been buried so badly over the years that the fans might not take them seriously.

2) It interrupts the HHH/Orton plans temporarily.

3) Cade and Morley would likely be overshadowed by their teammates.

4) It's a storyline that will take weeks to develop, and fans' attention spans may not last.

5) It still requires Triple H in the main event.
