In the arena:
We are back and Ric Flair comes to the ring. Flair woooos and then he says that at Vengeance, Mick Foley challenged Ric Flair to a traditional wrestling match. The truth is that he kicked Foley’s ass in two straight. He proved that Foley is nothing more than a glorified stuntman. Mick Foley is on the Titantron and he has a message for Ric Flair and it is a rebuttal. First, did he take the easy way out in the ring? Flair’s claim to authorship is talking out of the side of his ass while drinking for several days and have a ghostwriter put everything down before Flair puts his name on the book. Foley points out that he wrote out 760 pages for a New York Times Number 1 Bestseller where he claimed that Ric Flair was not an ideal person to work in the 1990s in WCW. Foley wants to talk about Munich, Germany in 1994 when Flair was his boss. On that night he got his head tangled in the ropes and he saw blood on the mats outside. He threw a punch and his ear fell off. A referee handed the ear to the ring announcer and the ear was handed to Flair. Flair suggested that the ear be put in a bag of ice. Flair saw Foley still in the ring. He traveled thousands of miles, sleeping in his car to learn the business. Then he gets accused of not knowing how to wrestle by a guy whose main wrestling hold these days is touching another man’s genitalia. Then Flair has the nerve to say that he wrestled every badass and Foley is not one. Did any of these badasses beat him up any more than Foley did. Foley tells Flair to find a new cliché. He saw Flair’s family crying and the space that Flair occupied in his mind for 14 years was gone. Flair no longer matters to him. Flair can brag about his titles, but Foley has title of his own. He is a hardcore legend, a three time WWE champion, two time New York Times Number One Best Seller, he has been interviewed two times by Katie Couric, and he is a personal friend of Melina. Foley tells Flair that he gets no rematch and he calls Flair a used up piece of crap.
Flair wants Foley to quit crying about the past. He tells Foley to get into the ring to battle in a hardcore match. He says that he wished he stomped on Foley’s ear. Paul Heyman walks out and he apologizes for the interruption. He talks about how he made his peace with Mick Foley and they talked about how Flair made the same mistake again. It was probably because he never wrestled in ECW. Flair lumps everything into the same category like hardcore, garbage wrestling, and a glorified stunt show. Heyman says that he calls it ‘extreme entertainment’. Heyman mentions that there is a new ECW champion. We see footage of Big Show winning the ECW title last Tuesday night. Heyman says that it is his honor and privilege to introduce the ECW champion and the Big Show comes out. Show gets on the mic and he woooos for Ric Flair. He brings up the fact that Flair is a sixteen time World Champion, and maybe the greatest champion of all time. That is until now. Of all of Flair’s great accomplishments, there is one thing he has not done. There is only one man who has won the WCW, WWE, and ECW titles; and that man is Big Show. Show says that he wonders if Flair has it in him for one more. Show talks about how Flair mentions extreme, but there is nothing more extreme than standing in an ECW ring to look into Show’s eyes. Show challenges Flair for the ECW title tomorrow night. Show wants to know if Flair will accept. Flair accepts the challenge and they stand face to face. Heyman taps Flair on the shoulder and then Show with a neck breaker and then he tosses Flair out of the ring.
Backstage:
Vince McMahon and ‘his son’ Shane McMahon are in the McOffice. Vince says that he knows that DX will show up, but the question is when. There is a knock at the door and they get ready for DX, but it is only Eugene. They invite Eugene into the McOffice. Eugene wants to apologize to Vince and ‘his son’ Shane. Neither of them are mad nor offended. Vince says that they have a present for Eugene. Shane gives Eugene a DX shirt. Eugene says that green is his favorite color and then Shane pours green paint on Eugene. Vince yells at Eugene and then he clotheslines Eugene. Shane punches Eugene and then throws him into the wall. Shane sticks Eugene’s head into the toilet and then Vince flushes. Vince asks Shane if that sent a message. We go to commercial.
During The Break:
Paul Heyman and Big Show are in the back and Heyman is distracted by Candice. Paul asks Candice what she is doing tomorrow night. Candice wants to know what Paul is doing. Paul asks Candice if she wants to come to ECW and have a dance-off with Kelly. Candice says that she doesn’t want to dance against Kelly. She would rather dance with Kelly.
