Omaha, Nebraska

Attendance: 15,019

March 8, 2004

AS RAW COMES ON THE AIR, THE THEME FROM CODE RED BEGINS TO PLAY AS STILL PICTURES OF THE UNDERTAKER-NATHAN JONES WORLD TITLE MATCH ARE SHOWN, ENDING WITH A SHOT OF A SERIOUSLY CHALLENGED UNDERTAKER HOLDING UP THE WORLD TITLE. ACTUAL COMMENTARY FROM THE EVENT IS CONCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE.

"ACROSS THE NATION" THEN HITS AS RAW's MONTAGE ROLLS. THE QWEST CENTER IS THEN SHOWN, NEAR CAPAACITATED BY A ROWDY CROWD.

"THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AND TRIPLE H COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. HE IS IN PLAIN CLOTHES AND IS WEARING A PAIR OF DARK GLASSES.

Jim Ross: "It's not a Nebraska football game! All these people are gathered for TWF RAW:!

Jerry Lawler: "The Qwest center is rockin' J.R. and here comes the Game"!

J.R.: "The game who defeated Billy Gunn at Code Red but after a victory like that, you'd think he'd be smiling".

TRIPLE H WAS GIVEN THE HOUSE MIC

Triple H: "Cut the damn music! I want the attention of all you idiots out here and especially two people in the back! Hogan.... Steph, I know you two are watching me out here so listen up! I understand that at WrestleMania, there is gonna be a little interpromotional match between someone from RAW and someone from PrimeTime. Well when you consider my track record and after watching what I did to Billy Gunn the other night, there better be no debate that the man who represents RAW should be me"!

J.R.: "Well that's gettin' to the point".

Lawler: "The game is naming himself for that match"!

Triple H: "Ya see, the winner of this match gets a future title shot against the champion of his brand and we all know that it's no secret that without that World title, I do not have what I deserve to have! I am the very best in this business (getting angry), I have proven it time and time again! Whether it be Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Jordan Rockwell, Steve Austin, the list goes on and on and the trail of victims is endless! WrestleMania is the biggest event of the year and it is what I am in this business to do! So I am demanding that I be.......

JUST THEN, "GET OFF MY TRACKS" BY POD HITS AND OUT COMES STRIFE TO A HUGE POP.

Lawler: "What the heck"?

J.R.: "Strife is on his way out here and the game doesn't seem to be too happy about it"!

Lawler: "Well he's sure as heck not gonna hold the ropes open for him"!

STRIFE ENTERS THE RING AND HAS A MIC OF HIS OWN.

Strife: "Are you done"?

Triple H: "As I was......

Strife: "No, you're done.

THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS

Triple H, I'll give you your due. You are good, you may be the best. But I can't hardly say you've beaten them all because fact is, (he turns and gets nose to nose with HHH) you've never beaten me".

J.R.: "Oh boy".

Lawler: "This could get violent J.R.".

Triple H: "Is that what you interrupted me to say? That I've never beaten you? Well, you're right, I have never beaten you. But I know I'm up for it and I'm sure all your "locos" are up for it".

Lawler: (laughing) "Locos".

Triple H: "How bout we change that right now"?

STRIFE DROPS THE MIC

J.R.: "They're gonna go!

JUST THEN, A SIREN BLARES OVER THE LOUDSPEAKER AND SCOTT STEINER's MUSIC HITS.

What the heck does Steiner want"?

Scott Steiner: "Ya know Strife, you got a lot of nerve comin' out here and getting in Triple H's face like that! Haven't you ever heard of earning your place? Triple H, he's already at the top. And if you wanna get up there with him, I say, you gotta face the big bad booty daddy first"!

Lawler: "Now that sounds like a challenge"!

Strife: "Helmsley, don't think this is over between you and I, I got you in my headlights! And Steiner, you wanna go one on one tonight? I say, you're on"!

J.R.: "Strife has accepted the challenge of Scott Steiner and he's sent a message to Triple H for fair warning"!

STRIFE AND STEINER JUST STARE AT EACH OTHER AS "GET OFF MY TRACKS" PLAYS. TRIPLE H IS SHOWN WITH A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE.

Lawler: "Triple H doesn't seem to be too bothered by the match though"!

BACKSTAGE.....

THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS WHEN THE UNDERTAKER ENTERS THE BUILDING WITH HIS WORLD TITLE IN HAND.

J.R.: "Oh look who's here"!

24 KARAT GOLD PRODUCTIONS APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AND GOLDUST's MUSIC HITS. GOLD PYRO SPRAYS INTO THE AIR AS JACKIE GAYDA COMES OUT FOLLOWING THE BIZARRE ONE, BLOWING CIGAR SMOKE.

Lawler: "The Undertaker is here J.R. but after that match with Nathan Jones at Code Red, you know he's not a hundred percent"!

J.R.: "The Undertaker survived a serious thumping from the Collossus of Bogo Road but he walked out with the title and now switches his focus to WrestleMania!

"VIVA LA RAZA" HITS AND CHAVO GUERRERO COMES OUT TO A WONDERFUL CHEER.

But listen to the respect for Chavo Guerrero and look at the smile on his face King"!

Lawler: "He's finally getting the adulation he's so long desired and he and his uncle Eddie are steamrolling through the RAW tag ranks"!

J.R.: "Well he's faced with a test tonight in the form of the six foot eight Goldust who may be bizarre but knows how to win matches folks".

Lawler: "That and he's got Jackie Gayda as his director"!

JACKIE SAT DOWN IN A GOLD DIRECTOR's CHAIR, STILL PUFFING ON THE CIGAR AS THE BELL SOUNDED.

Chavo Guerrero vs. Goldust w/ Jackie Gayda

Chavo had to compensate for a distinct height and weight disadvantage so he tried to outquick Goldust to wear him down. This strategy worked well as he slid through Goldust's legs off a whip and dropkicked him in the back. But after hitting the ropes, Goldust dropped him with a clothesline followed by a face first suplex. Goldust then whipped him to the corner and after climbing to the middle turnbuckle, Goldust unzipped his ring gear but Chavo dropped him on the top rope with a snake eyes before rolling him up for the near fall. Chavo caught him with a big bulldog before going to the top rope and coming off with a missle dropkick. Jackie got out of her chair and onto the apron, refusing to listen to referee Chad Patton's pleas for her to get down. Chavo decided to just go and pie face her, knocking her to the floor. Meanwhile, Christopher Nowinski had come out but Chavo got him with a baseball slide and before he could get into the ring, Nowinski was attacked by Eddie Guerrero who had run out. But Chavo lost track of his opponent and Goldust came from behind with a Rude Awakening style neckbreaker before hooking the leg to get a 3 count.

Match Time: 5:13

AS HIS MUSIC PLAYED, GOLDUST WENT OUTSIDE THE RING AND CHECKED ON JACKIE.

J.R.: "Well with a little help, Goldust has won this one and you gotta wonder what the relationship between Goldust and old Harvard boy is concerned".

Lawler: "I'm wondering what the relationship of all three of them is"!

GOLDUST, NOWINSKI AND JACKIE BACKED UP THE RAMP TO A LOT OF BOOING AS EDDIE CHECKED ON HIS NEPHEW, WHO WAS HOLDING THE BACK OF HIS NECK.

J.R.: "You would".

BACKSTAGE.......

IN HIS DRESSING ROOM, TOMMY DRAEMER IS TAPING UP HIS HANDS WHEN THERE's A KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

Tommy Dreamer: "Come in".

JOHN HENNIGAN, TOUGH ENOUGH 3 WINNER AND RAW's NEWEST SUPERSTAR ENTERS.

Dreamer: "Can I help you? Uprising's over man, you gotta......

John Hennigan: "No Tommy, I'm not on Uprising tonight, I'm on RAW. And I'm on RAW..... as your new tag team partner".

Dreamer: (laughs) "What? You must have the wrong guy kid, I didn't ask for a tag team partner".

Hennigan: "Oh definitely not man, I mean, I've looked up to you for years man. I know Tommy Dreamer when I see him and I know that I am your new tag team partner".

Dreamer: "What the hell is this about? I didn't ask for a tag team partner".

Hennigan: "Well you better go talk to Ms. McMahon then cause all I know is you and I, we have a match tonight.... together".

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL SNICKERS ALMOND IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE OF THE TWF "BOUND FOR GLORY" ACTION FIGURE SERIES.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... STEPHANIE McMAHON's OFFICE.....

AS RAW RETURNS, CAMERAS ARE IN STEPHANIE McMAHON's OFFICE. SEATED ACROSS FROM HER IS SHAWN MICHAELS AND HIGH OCTANE.

Stephanie McMahon: "Okay guys, I know you both heard what Triple H had to say earlier tonight. The reason why I called you in here was to talk about the interpromotional match at WrestleMania in which the winner becomes number one contender on his show. Well, despite what Triple H said earlier, I truly believe that you two deserve that spot more. Now I don't wanna drive a wedge in between you guys, but I can't pick one of you. So starting tonight, I'm gonna set up a series of matches each week to hopefully make my decision easier. Tonight, you get A-Train Shawn and Damion, you face a man who's been a thorn in your side, Spawn".

Shawn Michaels: "Good luck man".

THE TWO SHAKE HANDS

Stephanie: "Now, I know it's not really fair, but this is to help me decide who should be in that match so Damion, your match is next".

High Octane: "Okay".

BOTH MEN GET UP AND LEAVE BUT TOMMY DREAMER BARGES IN.

Tommy Dreamer: "Do you mind telling me what's going on"?

Stephanie: "Excuse me"?

Dreamer: "Who is this punk who says he's my new tag team partner"?

Stephanie: "First off, don't come into my office like that ever again. And that punk, as you just called him, is John Hennigan, RAW's newest superstar. Now I know you're a little upset Tommy, but you should be flattered. John asked to form a tag team with someone who knows how to win and knows how to get to the top. The first person I thought of that would work well with him is you. So can you just help guide him in this early stage of his career"?

STEPH LEANS OVER WITH A VERY SEDUCTIVE LOOK IN HER EYES.

Dreamer: "Yeah, sure thing".

DREAMER TURNS AND LEAVES THE OFFICE, SHUTTING THE DOOR BEHIND HIM.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, SPAWN IS IN THE RING AND HIS MUSIC IS PLAYING.

Lawler: "Dreamer should be flattered"!

"DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" HITS AND HIGH OCTANE COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP.

J.R.: "Well we're gonna see he and his new partner John Hennigan in action later but right now, this is a do or die situation in many aspects for High Octane King"!

Lawler: "Oh without a doubt J.R.! Stephanie is actually considering him for that match at WrestleMania but he's gotta get by a man he's had a lot of trouble with in the past"!

J.R.: "Spawn has defintely been a man that High Octane has struggled against but he's gonna have to find it somehow, somewhere tonight"!

Spawn vs. "High Octane" Damion West

As the bell sounded, the masked demon Spawn lunged at High Octane with a right hand but Octane ducked and kicked him twice in the legs but Spawn palmed his head and slammed him into the corner. Spawn then launched him across the ring with a beal before hoisting him onto one shoulder and driving him into the mat with a running powerslam. It looked like it was gonna be a quick night for Spawn but High Octane slipped out of a powerbomb attempt and blanked Spawn with the "Head on Collision". Spawn was not totally out though and began to get up. But High Octane readied himself and when he did, he connected with a second "Head on Collision", this one giving him a 3 count and the win.

Match Time: 2:41

J.R.: "What a way to start this trial process! High Octane has made quick work of Spawn"!

Lawler: "It took two of those superkicks J.R., but he did it"!

J.R.: "High Octane is off to a great start and is that good enough to get him into that match"?

Lawler: "It could be! I can't see Shawn Michaels even topping that"!

"DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" PLAYED AS HIGH OCTANE LEFT TO A LOT OF CHEERS, SLAPPING HANDS AS HE DID.

J.R.: "Shawn Michaels will meet the A-Train later tonight but his buddy High Octane is gonna be tough to outdo"!

BACKSTAGE.....

STEPHANIE IS WATCHING THE POST MATCH ON A MONITOR WHEN BROTHER LONG COMES UP.

Teddy Long: "Did I hear this right? The only two superstars being considered are those two crackers HBK and High Octane"?

Stephanie: "Those were the choices both Hulk Hogan and I made, yes".

Long: "Oh, so a man who took the deadman to the limit gets nothing? Brother Nathan Jones deserves to be in that mix, belee that".

Stephanie: "Well, I'll tell ya what, I'll take your request under advisement..... belee dat".

STEPHANIE TURNS AND WALKS AWAY, LEAVING LONG WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE.

ON ANOTHER PART OF THE ARENA, ALEX MIRAN IS WALKING WHEN JESSICA LOPEZ COMES UP.

Jessica Lopez: "Hey Alex, glad I ran into you. I have to tell you something".

Alex Miran: (brushes her hair back) "Sure Jess go ahead".

Lopez: "Okay, well I hate to tell you this, but after your match at Code Red, when Jazz attacked you, Gail was standing back here the whole time, just watching before she went out".

Miran: "No, that couldn't be".

Lopez: "I saw her Alex, I'm sorry".

JESSICA REACHES OUT AND GRABS HER HAND.

Miran: "Thank you for letting me know".

ALEX WALKS AWAY IN A HURRY AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR McDONALD's IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR WRESTLEMANIA 5 PREVIEWING THE "STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN-BROCK LESNAR MATCH.

RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE.....

AS RAW RETURNS, THE FRENCH NATIONAL ANTHEM IS PLAYING AND LA RESISTANCE IS IN THE RING, SINGING AS WILLIAM REGAL STANDS BY.

J.R.: "We're back on RAW folks and we're sorry the commercial break didn't last a little longer so you'd miss this".

Lawler: "Be considerate of all our french viewers out there J.R."!

"HELLO LADIES" IS HEARD AND VAL VENIS' MUSIC HITS. 2 WOMEN, 1 IN A WHITE DRESS AND THE OTHER IN BLACK, LEAD VAL AND SAM WILDE OUT TO A BIG POP.

J.R.: "Well here we go! Tag team action with one of RAW's newly formed teams".

Lawler: "Look at this J.R., Val Venis offered to help Sam Wilde out and now he's got him some females! I need to talk to Val"!

J.R.: "He's also helping him collect some wins and a win here tonight over the frenchmen would elevate them just like that"!

La Resistance w/ William Regal vs. Val Venis and Sam Wilde

Val Venis and Sylvan Grenier started the match with a basic lockup that Val took into a side headlock. Grenier punched Venis in the lower back to get out but after hitting the ropes, he was stonewalled with a clothesline. Val then hit an impressive delay vertical suplex before tagging in Wilde who did a fabulous job of isolating Grenier from his corner. After an arm drag, Wilde locked in a standing armbar before falling back, grapevining the arm. Grenier fought hard to break the hold but Wilde had it cinched. Wilde finally pulled him up into a front face lock but Grenier came back with a northern lights suplex. Wilde was up at one but Grenier created enough seperation to tag in Rene Dupree. After a little showboating by Dupree, the two men locked up and Dupree took him to the mat with an amatuer style takedown. He then disrespectfully slapped the back of Wilde's head about 3 times. But then Wilde showed a side of himself no one had ever seen, tackling Dupree at the legs and unloading some right hands on him. Referee Jack Doan got in the middle, calling for a break but Wilde continued to hammer away. He then tagged in Venis who came in and dropped a big knee on Dupree's head and covered him for the 1.....2....., but Dupree was up. Venis then hit the ropes again but Regal grabbed his foot. Venis turned around and yelled at Regal but Dupree came from behind with a right hand to the back of the head. As Grenier distracted Doan, Regal got on the apron looking for a knockout shot on Venis as Dupree held his arms back but Val somehow slipped his grasp and Regal blasted Dupree. Wilde then came across the ring and nailed Grenier, knocking him to the floor as Venis locked in a reverse figure four leg lock and got Dupree to tap out.

Match Time: 6:29

J.R.: "They did it again! Venis and Wilde are creating a stir in the tag team division King"!

Lawler: "Well look at La Resistance J.R., they've got their eyes fixed on Regal"!

THE MUSIC STOPPED PLAYING AS REGAL GOT IN THE RING, YELLING AT HIS MEN. BUT THEY WEREN'T GONNA LISTEN LONG, LIFTING HIM INTO THE AIR FOR THE "BONJOUR DROP". THEIR MUSIC THEN HIT AS REGAL WAS DOWN IN THE RING.

Lawler: "What are they doing"?!

J.R.: "Well he cost them the match, I imagine that's the french's way of saying, you're fired"!

Lawler: "Look at Regal"!

MIRAN PULLS HER OVER

Miran: "We need to talk".

Gail: "Can't you see I'm busy"?

Miran: "Yeah, and so was I, busy getting beat down by Jazz after I beat her at Code Red. And then tonight, I find out that you sat in the back and watched the whole thing by the curtain! All this time I thought you came out to help me. Some friend you are".

Gail: "Whoa, whoa, whoa... what the heck are you talking about? Who told you this"?

Alex: "Jessica told me this"!

Gail: "Alex, she's just jealous of our friendship, of all the fun we have together. I couldn't stand to watch what Jazz was doing... that's why I came out".

Alex: (hanging her head) "Okay, I'm sorry I got so.....

Gail: "No, you don't have a reason to be sorry. Just know that I would never do anything to jeopardize our friendship".

GAIL WALKS AWAY AS ALEX WIPES A COUPLE TEARS AWAY.

THE CAMERAS SWITCH TO THE RED AND YELLOW CLAD OFFICE OF HULK HOGAN, WHO IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TELECONFERENCE WITH PRIMETIME SUPERSTAR TRAVIS WAKEMAN WHO IS ON SPEAKER PHONE.

Travis Wakeman: "Better, definitely better".

Hogan: "Well let me tell you, I've known Rick Martel a long time and he'll have something up his sleeve when you come back next week. Just be careful dude".

Wakeman: "After what he did to Trish, he better have something up his sleeve because I'm not gonna mess with him this time".

Hogan: "Well you know I'm gonna watch brother".

Wakeman: "Same time, same channel as always, on FOX".

Hogan: "No dude, I'm gonna watch, in person".

Wakeman: "You're coming to PrimeTime"?

Hogan: "I got a front row seat. See, I'm in good with Shane too. I'll see ya there brother".

Wakeman: "I'll be there".

HOGAN PUSHES A BUTTON, ENDING THE CALL.

“Lying From Me” by Linkin Park hits and “The Show” Joe Corey comes to the ring followed by Alexis Laree. Both are dressed to the nines and have smiles from ear-to-ear. When they enter the ring, black and silver confetti starts to fall from the ceiling and pyro starts to go off all around the arena.

Lawler: "New music and all J.R.! Joe Corey is a new man"!

J.R.: "He became the number one contender for the King of Cable title by defeating Austin Pyromania at Code Red in one hell of a match but I don't know whether we need all this or not".

Joe Corey: "Is this incredible or what? I wanted my celebration to take place right here in Omaha, Nebraska and as you can see, I spared no expense. The other night at Code Red, I silenced a lot of my critics. Those people were the ones who felt I did not belong in that number one contender’s match. These same people also felt that I had an ulterior motive for challenging Austin Pyromania to that match. I take that statement extremely personally, because if any of them had taken the time to pay attention to my career when it started overseas, they would have realized that I am one of the most respected performers in the world. The only thing I can accept criticism for was the interference of Matt Taylor. I know what you are all thinking, but I assure you, I had nothing to do with what happened. However, I am not going to apologize for taking advantage of it. That is because I know what kind of competitor I was in the ring with and any advantage I see, especially in a match with as much on the line as this match did, I am going to take. So Taylor, don’t think that I am done with you, because now, I just owe you one. I don’t know when, I don’t where, and I don’t know how, but in time, I am going to pay you back for your actions, but back to you, Austin Pyromania. I know this is going to seem odd, but I would like to ask you to come down to this ring right now".

Lawler: "What? Round two"?

J.R.: "Who knows what this is about. Pyromania is scheduled for a match next anyhow".

A few moments go by, but “Don’t Play With Fire” by Tupac eventually starts to play. Austin Pyromania and Stacy Kielber start to make their way to the ring and Pyromania enters looking both cautious and confused.

Austin Pyromania: "Corey, I have no clue what it is you wanted me out here for, but before you say anything, there is something I have to say first. I’m not going to come out here and cry about losing that match at Code Red. It was one hell of a match and that I cannot take away from you. However, I have watched the match over and over since that night and I am convinced that if it hadn’t been for the interference of Matt Taylor, I, not you, would be standing in this ring tonight as the number one contender to the King of Cable".

THE FANS CHEER AS STACY STARTS TO NOD HER HEAD.

J.R.: "Arguable but I would have to agree".

Joe Corey: "I can understand that you are angry with that and I really do feel for you. I know if it were the other way around, I would be pissed off too. There is nothing I can do about that. With the exception of agreeing that we had a blockbuster of a match. That is why I asked you out here tonight. I know this might seem a little strange coming from me, and if these people don’t like it, they can all go to hell. After that match, I have gained a ton of respect for you, and right here, in front of all these people, I want to shake your hand".

Austin Pyromania: "I don’t know Joe, you seem to be genuine right now, but I have been suckered in too many times lately. How am I supposed to know that you won’t just cold cock me"?

Joe Corey: "Austin, I just want to show you the respect that you deserve. The same respect that this entire thing was started upon. You still don’t trust me? Okay, I will show you just how true I am. If I offer my hand to you, and I just sucker punch you, you can have my title shot at WrestleMania. Is that reason enough for you to believe me"?

“The Show” offers his hand again, and after looking him right in eyes, Pyromania shakes the hand of the #1 Contender. Corey then leaves the ring, and then goes and takes a seat with J.R. and The King to do commentary for the next match.

Lawler: "Have a seat here Joe. Now was that classy or what J.R."?

"LIKE A PIMP" BY DA BAND HITS AND TAYLOR MADE COMES OUT WITH BOTH HIS WOMEN, TERRI AND DESIRE.

J.R.: "Oh I guess".

Joe Corey: "You're damn right it was classy. Now am I such a bad guy J.R."?

J.R.: "Well that remains to be seen but right now, it's gonna be mixed gender action, guys competing with the guys and girls with the girls".

Lawler: "Girls on girls?! Here Alexis, have a seat".

Corey: "On my lap..... come on King".

Mixed Gender Tag Team Match

Austin Pyromania and Stacy Kiebler vs. Taylor Made and Desire

Pyromania wasted no time, attacking Taylor before the bell sounded and rocking him with a barrage of right hands. After knocking him into the corner with several kicks, he mimmicked his idol "Stone Cold" Steve Austin by giving Taylor the double middle finger. But after a thumb to the eyes, Taylor tagged in Desire. Pyromania was a little frustrated but made the tag to Stacy whose long legs got her the advantage on Desire. After a great spinning heel kick, Stacy whipped her to the corner and used her 42 inch right leg to choke her. Stacy then hit a nice suplex and hooked the leg but Desire was up at 2. Desire was then able to reverse an irish whip and she put Stacy down with a wicked european hip toss. After a blatant choke, she pulled Stacy up by the hair and just dropped her. Referee Charles Robinson gave her a stern warning as she slammed Desire to the mat. Desire then went to the top rope but Stacy collected herself and fell into them, knocking her down. She then tagged in Pyromania and Taylor came in. Pyro beat him to the punch and then dropped him with a jumping enziguri. Pyromania was rolling but when he went for a cartwheel moonsault, Taylor got his knees up. Then, Taylor dispicably knocked Stacy off the mat with a forearm and she landed hard. That brought the King of Cable champion John Cena out to check on her but Taylor saw this and went outside, igniting a brawl. In the ring, Desire went for a sunset flip on Pyromania but he kept his balance and sat down, pulling her legs in for a 3 count. He then went outside and tackled Taylor.

Match Time: 7:12

Lawler: "Why did the ref even count J.R., it's guys versus guys"!

J.R.: "I don't know, maybe because Stacy was obliterated by that jackass Taylor"!

AS PYROMANIA AND TAYLOR STRUGGLED ON THE FLOOR, JOE COREY LEFT THE BROADCAST POSITION AND CAME FROM BEHIND, TAKING CENA OUT. HE THEN PICKED HIM UP AND PUT HIM DOWN WITH A SPINEBUSTER ON THE STEEL RAMP. THE CROWD BOOED BUT GOT EVEN LOUDER WHEN COREY KNOCKED PYROMANIA TO THE FLOOR WHEN HE TURNED AROUND WITH A RIGHT HAND.

J.R.: "What the hell is that?! So much for the respect! Pyromania has been screwed again"!

Lawler: "I like it J.R.! This Joe Corey should just be known as Joe Cool"!

J.R.: "Joe Cool my ass! That was pathetic and even though he's set to square off with Jon Cena at WrestleMania, I think Pyromania is gonna figure in that scenario somehow"!

Lawler: "Not only that, but he wants Animal barred from ringside"!

Nails and Justin Sane vs. Tommy Dreamer and John Hennigan

Dreamer thought it would be best for him to start, leaving the inexperienced Hennigan out. He and Justin Sane locked up and it was Dreamer who used a hip toss followed by a couple right hands. He then whipped Sane to the ropes and lifted him up with a backbody drop but a blind tag was made and Nails ran Dreamer over with a hard clothesline. Nails then choked Dreamer with both hands before sending him to the corner but when he charged in, Dreamer stuck a foot in his face. He quickly tagged in Hennigan who shot himself in with a dropkick, taking out Nails. After a couple more big moves, Hennigan went to the top rope but Nails punched him in the gut as he jumped off and tagged in Sane. Sane tried to pull Hennigan up but Hennigan flipped his arms into the air and blasted him with a couple knifedge chops before ramming him into the boot of Dreamer. Dreamer then tagged in and dropped 3 elbows on the chest of Sane before hitting a hard DDT. He made the cover but Nails came in and bro ke up what would of been a 3 count. After a scoop slam, Dreamer tagged in Hennigan who brought the crowd to their feet with a standing shooting star press! He went for the cover but referee Brain Hebner was preoccupied with the fact that Nails came and pulled Dreamer off the apron and right onto the steel ring steps. In the ring, Hennigan walked right into a cradble piledriver from Sane who hooked the leg and got the 3 count.

Match Time: 8:54

Lawler: "That's it, so much for that team"!

J.R.: "Dreamer and Hennigan definitely wrestled the better match but it goes as a strike in the loss column".

Lawler: "Yeah, well he's never faced him either and Triple H offered to change that tonight"!

J.R.: "So why's he facing Steiner? Why isn't Triple H the one out here"?

Scott Steiner vs. Strife

The bell sounded and the two men locked up and surprisingly, Strife pushed the genetic freak into the corner. Steiner charged with a clothesline but Strife just kicked him in the face. After drilling him with some hard back elbows in the corner, Strife had him set up for a full nelson slam when Triple H came out. Strife let go of the hold and got into a war of words with him and Steiner took advantage, coming from behind and rolling Strife up for the 3 count.

Match Time: 2:22

Lawler: "Het got him! Ahahahahaha! Now was that a plan or was that a plan"?!

STRIFE JUST SMIRKED AS TRIPLE H AND STEINER LEFT, KNOWING HE'D BEEN DUPED.

J.R.: "Strife took his eye off the ball and paid for it but I hope Triple H knows that there's gonna be a time and a place for him to meet Strife.... himself".

Shawn Michaels vs. A-Train

This match turned out to be much better than expected as Michaels steered clear of A-Train as much as possible but after ducking a clothesline, he was caught with a shot to the back of the head with A-Train's other arm. A-Train then stomped away on Michaels before whipping him to the cirber for an avalanche splash. A-Train controlled the next 4 minutes of the match and looked to put it away with a slinging splash from the corner, also known as the A-Bomb. But Michaels moved out of the way and then bounced off the ropes, looking for his flying forearm. But A-Train caught him and fell straight forward with a powerslam. He then lined him up for the big pump kick but Michaels avoided that however it caught referee Earl Hebner and good. Michaels connected with the "Sweet Chin Music" and had about a 10 count but Hebner was down. As Michaels went to get Hebner up, A-Train rolled out of the ring and grabbed a steel chair. He then brought it in and Michaels turned right into a face full of steel. After disposing of the weapon, A-Train hit the "Train Wreck" and pulled Hebner up for a slow 1..............2............3.

Match Time: 5:55

J.R.: "Oh for god sake! This is a damn travesty"!

Lawler: "A-Train may've just knocked HBK out of WrestleMania J.R."!

J.R.: "No, the steel chair may've just done that"!
