'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE...

I'm back, and what better time than Thanksgiving to get into the Christmas spirit?
Thus, the following poem (and my thanks to "Captain Spinkick" for the idea.)
    The Wrestlers' Night Before Christmas
    (Original Idea by "Captain Spinkick" (no email address was found)).

    Twas the night before Christmas And all through
    the feds
    Not a wrestler was stirring
    Not even Head

    The stockings were hung By the chimney with care
    In the hopes that The Great One
    Soon would be there.

    The wrestlers were nestled All snug in their beds
    While visions of bodyslams
    Danced in their heads.

    And Hulk in his 'kerchief and Sting in his cap
    Had just settled down
    For a long winter nap.

    When out on the lawn There arose such a clatter
    Hulk sprang from the bed
    To see what was the matter

    He ran to the window Shoving aside Lex,
    Tore open the shutters
    And began to flex

    The moon on the chest Of the Hulkster's oiled form
    Gave the luster of mid-day
    And made everyone feel warm

    When, what to Hulk's Wondering eyes should appear?
    But a tricked out sleigh
    And eight tiny reindeer

    With such a well dressed driver He couldn't but
    gawk,
    Hulk knew in a moment
    It must be The Rock

    More rapid than luchadores His coursers they came
    And he raised an eyebrow
    And called them by name:

    "Now Vince! Now Shane!

    Now Stephanie and Test!

    On X-Pac! On Road Dogg!

    On... ah the hell with the rest!

    To the top of the porch,

    And make it real fast,

    Or I'll lay the smack down

    On your candy ass!"

    As jobbing to Viscera would really hurt,
    The Rock steered his speeding sleigh
    In his $600 shirt

    So up to the house-top The coursers they flew
    With the sleigh full of toys
    And the Great One too.

    And then, in a twinkling, Hulk heard outside
    Such a repitition of catchphrases
    That the Hulkster cried,

    Suddenly all was quiet, not a sound and
    Down the chimney The Great One
    Came with a bound

    He was dressed all in Versace from his head to his
    toes
    And his shoes were as polished
    As the shades on his nose

    A whole bunch of toys bundled up in a sack,
    He said "Finally...
    The Rock has come back!"

    His shirt -- how it twinkled! His demeanor how
    cold!
    His sideburns how long!
    His Rolex was gold!

    His droll little eyebrow Was arched up like a bow,
    His shirt was unbuttoned and
    His hair was just so

    The handle of the mic He held tight in his hand,
    Confident in the fact
    That his pops are not canned

    He raised up the mic And began to make noise,
    "You bowls full of jelly
    Don't deserve any toys!

    But if I do give you toys, And the Great One means
    *if*
    Then turn that sumbitch sideways
    And shove it up stiff!"

    A raise of his eyebrow and a twist of his head,
    Soon let Hulk know that
    He had plenty to dread

    The Rock stared at the Goblin, Sized up his orange
    bulk,
    "No presents for you,
    You roody-poo Hulk!"

    He gave Hulk the Elbow
    Told him he blows,
    And with all of the presents
    up the chimney he rose;

    As he left in his sleigh, an idea came to his
    mind,
    "Let's go put coal in the
    Stocking of Mankind!"

    As the sleigh faded away in the night, out the window Hulk with wonder was looking,
    "Hey jabronies, have a Merry Christmas -- if yaa smell what the Rock is cooking!"
