FADE IN:
EXT. SNOWSCAPE
A BLINDING WHITE SCREEN, under which we hear an ominous
low end Dolby THX Big Screen rumble. We're not in 19"
television land anymore, Toto. As the rumble builds, TWO
BLACK FIGURES appear on what now has resolved into a
distant horizon. From their movements we can shortly see
that the figures are men. Moving along a windswept ice
sheet in an otherwise featureless land.A LEGEND appears: NORTH TEXAS, 35,000 B.C.

Over OPENING CREDITS, a montage of OLD WRESTLING-MAGAZINE
PHOTOS. Action shots of RANDY "THE RAM" ROBINSON taking on a
keffiyeh-wearing heel named THE AYATOLLAH before 20,000
screaming fans at Madison Square Garden.
The sounds of a SCREAMING, CHEERING CROWD overwhelm us. Over
the images, RINGSIDE ANNOUNCERS boom commentary:
----"Oh, my! Ram hit with a devastating piledriver!"
----"I've never seen a guy get fired into a buckle that hard!"
