Flair’s mug shot is on the Titantron, Edge and Lita are in the ring for The Cutting Edge. Edge talks about how crappy Flair’s life is and announces Flair.
On the screen is a pic of Flair with someone else’s mouth moving. Fake Flair stuttered out all sorts of people’s catch phrases. Edge says Flair stole the Wooo from Jerry Lee Lewis.
Lita takes the mic and asks why Ric attacked the guy in the car. Fake Flair says it’s because the guy told the truth that Edge was so much better then Ric. Edge says he’s better then Ric in every way. Ric tries to say he’s the 16 time... But gets cut off by Edge who says when he uses his briefcase his reign will be longer than all of Flair’s put together.
The real Flair comes from outback, takes of his jacket and climbs in the ring. He gets up in Lita’s face, but doesn’t say anything.
Edge asks if Flair is there to admit Edge is better. Flair starts punching Edge in the face. Edge is on his back with Flair on top beating the crap out of him. Lita climbs on Flairs back trying to get him off Edge, he just brushes her off and both heels roll from the ring. Flair follows but doesn’t do any more. Edge ends up on his bum on the ramp, his eyes wide as he stares at Flair.

Chris Masters comes out to the ring with all his fan fare. He’s here for his Beat the Clock Match. (Wow, what a bald spot he has!) Chavito is facing him. Unfortunately this should be quick. The announcers don’t agree with me. Many Eddie chants.
Chris tries to get his hands on Chavo, but gets bitch slapped and rolled up twice. Chavo hits a Standing Dropkick knocking Chris from the ring. Chavo flew out of the ring. Chris catches him and slams him back first into the side of the ring.
Back in the ring he Slams Chavo a couple times and tries to lock in the Masterlock. Chavo fights it. Chavo gets away and goes for another Cross Body. Chris catches him again and hits a Fallaway Slam. Chris gets a two count. Chris stays on Chavo with more Slams and a Back Body Drop. This time he only gets a one count.
Chris hits a forearms to the back and tries to lock on Masterlock again, but Chavo is able to roll Chris over and get out. Chavo throws some punches, but gets picked up. Chavo again rolls Chris and gets away. Chavo hits another Standing Drop Kick. Chavo gets tossed in the corner, but Chris gets the boot. Chavo goes for the Tornado DDT, but Chris controls it and gets Chavo into the Masterlock.
Chavo refuses to submit and time runs out. Rather than being a man and finishing the match Chris tosses Chavo to the mat and gets a mic. He says the clock wasn’t right. The clock was fast and someone’s trying to hold him down. We are all trying to hold him down. But it ain’t gonna happen because he’s gonna be the youngest champion ever.
He throws down the mic and rushes Chavo who is ready for him. Chavo flips him over the top rope. Chris rushes the ring and gets two boots to the chest. At that point he leaves the ring area to Eddie chants.
- Winner: No one officially, but Chavo spoiled Masters plans.
Outback Angle is getting a mic attached to his shirt for his announcement.
- Commercial
Angle says last weeks show for the troops brought a tear to his eyes. It made him realize how proud he was - that he didn’t go on the trip. The troops are over there forgotten because they’ve done nothing over there.
Angle says he never complained about getting up at 5AM and wrestling with a broken neck. BTW, there hasn’t been a draft in how long? You all volunteered to do this. Blah, blah, blah... Then he says they make him sick and storms off.
Outback Vince is outback watching the DVD, torrie is there. He starts to say she doesn’t have the qualifications to be GM. “Some say you are just a beautiful, over sexed bitch.” He starts to make goo-goo faces a Chloe. Torrie then turns around revealing her pup Chloe. Torrie tells Vince she is interested in being GM, not Chloe. He says he’s just having fun with Chloe.
Todd comes in. Vince tells him to tell Flair he will be facing Edge for his title at New Years Revolution. He then remembers that Todd interviewed Bret a few weeks ago. He asked how Bret looked. Todd said he looked fine. Vince then asks again how he looks, Todd is lost. Vince asks if Bret looks like Vince could take him. Todd jumps on the boat and says of course Vince could beat him.
Todd leaves and Vince turns back to Torrie and Chloe and says he likes to play with puppies. Torrie looks disgusted.
Mickie decorated her and Trish’s lockers. They had to spend Christmas with their families and couldn’t spend it together. And that Trish’s present to Mickie was Mickie’s chance at the title.
Trish tries to talk to Mickie about how important the title is to her, but Mickie cuts her off again. Mickie tells Trish to look up. Trish is standing under mistle toe. Trish looks a bit startled, then Mickie just plants one on her - much more than a peck. Mickie looks quite into it. Trish backs off and rushes off. Mickie starts apologizing and freaking out.

Angle comes out to the ring to the wonderful ‘You suck’ chants. (Sorry, but I just couldn’t type all that crap he was saying - you got the basic idea thought.) Daivari comes out to face him. Angle lights up thinking he’ll lay down for Angle. (Supposedly this was to be names drawn out of a hat - yea, right, that would kill the storyline!)
Daivari looks like he will fight, then lays down. The ref won’t count the three. Angle yells at Mike and Daivari lays down again. Mike won’t count the three. Angle and Mike get in a pushing match. Angle chases Mike into the crowd. Mike circles around, gets in the ring and very quickly counts out Angle. The bell rings and Mike runs like hell to get away. Angle is pissed - ranting and raving at Daivari who doesn’t know what to do.
- Winner: Daivari by count out!
Outback Big Show is heading to the ring for the contract signing.
- Commercial
Slam of The Week is when HHH got Double Choke Slammed by Big Show and Kane, after Show screwed HHH out of the Elimination Chamber.
HHH is coming to the ring dressed in a very nice (expensive) suit. Big Show comes out in wrestling gear. (I don’t remember the last time I saw him in real clothes.)
The ring is set up with a table and a chair on each side. Coach is there. Show picks up his chair and dumps it over the side. Coach says they both looked it over outback and if anyone has any questions or problems. Show is asked to sign first. He does and hands it back to Coach. HHH takes off his jacket and acts like he’s going to sign, but stops.
HHH says he’s been listening to Show saying he’s crap, but that HHH had no beef with him. Then Show screwed him out of a title shot, now HHH has a problem. While HHH was fighting for everything, Show was getting everything handed to him. Show just stood there as a genetic marvel as HHH clawed his way to the top. The only reason people pay to see Show is because he’s a circus side show freak.
HHH has decided Show is just a really tall guy. There are a lot of tall guys - look at the NBA. HHH could beat all of them. Show is an overgrown Basketball player.
Show cut him off saying he should shut up because he no longer had DX to back him up. HHH should just shut up or Show will take him out right now. (He brought up DX but not Evolution. I’d heard rumor of them bringing back ‘DX’, is that why?)
HHH says he doesn’t need backup, ‘fatboy’. Show wraps his hands around HHH’s neck. HHH stabs Show in the ‘eye’ with the pen. HHH flips over the table to reveal a sledge. HHH pulls down the top rope sending Show to the outside. HHH follows Show out and slams the sledge down on Show’s hand on the stairs. (I heard metal on metal personally.) Show drops like a rock cradling his hand. He is still rolling on the floor while HHH signs the contract and climbs the ramp.
- Commercial
Recap of what just happened between Show and HHH. The camera shot was good, but he obviously hit the stairs and not the hand.
Video of Stacie who will soon be on ‘Dancing With The Stars’. She’s been off practicing for the show. Her dance partner is almost as tall as she is.
Cena comes out for his Beat The Clock Match. It seems early for Cena to be coming out, but he can’t ALWAYS end the show. Cena’s freaking out as to who his opponent will be. Shelton’s music hits.
Cena’s ready to go. They tie up and Cena gets a Side Headlock followed by a Shoulder Block and a two count. Cena tries for an early FU without luck. He goes for the FU again and Shelton reverses to get out. Cena gets two quick covers, but only twos.
Shelton hits a Neckbreaker and gets a two count himself. Cena hits a Scoop Slam for two. Shelton hits a Cross Body for a one count. Shelton hits a Neck Breaker and gets two. Cena hits a Side Slam and gets two covers for two each.

Shelton goes for a Splash and gets turnbuckle. Cena goes for the FU, but Shelton gets out again. Shelton jumps to the top and turns in the air hitting a Clothesline.
The crowd starts it’s chanting duel. It goes on so long and loudly the announcers comment on it this time.
Shelton gets Cena in a Headlock and knocks a lot of time off the clock. Cena fights his way up and hits a Shoulder Block, a Clothesline and a Fisherman’s Suplex. But he only gets a two count. Cena goes for the FU but Shelton grabs the ropes and holds on until time runs out. Time does and Cena dumps Shelton out of the ring.
Cena goes out after him. Shelton goes for the Dragon Whip but Cena moves and Shelton hit the ring post with his ankle - there was a horrible crunch.
Cena threw Shelton in the ring. When Cena gets close Shelton pokes Cena in the eye. Cena picks up Shelton and hits the FU. Cena locks on the SDF and Shelton taps out.

Immediately Daivari and Angle rush the ring. They start beating on each other, but all the refs and staff come out to break them up. It’s very short lived.
- Commercial
Outback Shelton is on his cell phone talking to someone. He says he lost his match to Cena. Then the person tell Shelton he will be there next week. Shelton’s not too happy, but covers. He hangs up and looks nervous.
Stiles is trying to convince Vince that he should be GM. Vince asks him what he would do about what had just happened in the ring. Matt says he would have both Jonathan and Kurtis write a 500 word essay on the importance of rules and regulations.
Vince says that makes him want to vomit. That’s why he always hated teachers. He was thrown out of a lot of schools. All that for just fighting? That’s crazy! When he was in school he just wished a teacher would tell him to go ahead, fight it out like men, get out all their aggression.
Matt wants to teach children social grace. Vince says he likes violence, it gets out his aggression. That gives him an idea. Next week will be a match between Angle and Cena. But not just a regular match, it will be a First Blood Match. Vince then turns back to the DVD.
Carlito is outback and his own little X-Mas rhyme. It’s bad, really bad. Basically he says he will be champion at Revolution and then spits apple at the camera lens.
- Commercial
Carlito comes out wearing a Santa hat and bauble garland around his neck. Of course he has an apple in his hand. Victoria is his opponent. She comes out with the other two heel Divas. Victoria looks pissed (as usual).
Carlito is on the mat laughing. The bell rings and he slowly gets ready to fight. They tie up and she gets pushed into a corner. She ducks out before he can kiss her. They tie up and he smacks her on the ass, now she’s really pissed. They tie up and he picks her up and Slams her to the mat.
Chloe runs into the ring and Torrie calls her back (well trained pup). At that point Victoria gives him a crotch shot. Candice hits him in the knee with her wand.
Victoria tries to get away and he grabs the back of her tights and pulls her back. He hits a DDT type move on her and covers her for the win. After it’s over he spits apple in her face while she’s prone on the mat.
- Winner: Carlito in 2:36

Recap of Flair attacking Edge for his comments. The announcer talk about their match at Revolution.
Recap of Mickie trying to slip Trish the tongue. They then push their title match.
Recap of the contract signing and HHH possibly ‘breaking’ Show’s hand. Then pushing their match at Revolution.
They then push the Elimination Chamber, but who will be the last to enter?
Kane comes out for the final Beat The Clock Match. Both Heartthrobs come out to face him. Guess it’s a handicap match.
Kane tosses them both around a tiny bit. It kind of looks like a pinball machine with two balls and one flipper. Kane then grabs them both around the necks. He Choke Slams them both. He covers them both for three. He’s actually smiling as he leaves the ring.
- Winner: Kane in 0:28
Vince is outback watching the end of the DVD.
- Commercial
Vince comes out to the ring strutting. He has the DVD in hand and is grinning. He tosses the DVD into the front row.
He takes a mic. He rolls a bit of the DVD. Bret says he stands by his actions. Whoever side you are on you don’t know all the fact. You can’t put yourself in either shoes. He knows Vince feels he needed to do what he did and Bret did the same. History speaks for itself.
Vince says history speaks for itself. Vince says he wants to ask the fans. Vince asks how many thinks Vince was right - Boos. Vince asks how many think Bret was wrong - cheers and boos. He says he tricked them to get what he wants. The way he tricked Bret back then to get what he wanted.
HBK’s music hits and he comes out in a very nice suit, but the suit, shirt and tie don’t match at all. (I swear he’s either color blind or dresses in the dark. He has good clothes, they just don’t match.)
Vince tells HBK to tell us how they, together, screwed Bret. HBK says something quietly to Vince. Vince tells him to say it out loud.
HBK says he won’t defend Bret, no one would believe him. He’s been asked over and over if he would do it again and he has consistently said he would. He did it then as he would now because of his loyalty to the WWE - then and now. It’s one thing for Bret to live in that day and not let it go. But Vince should let it go. It’s been 8 years. HBK’s a dad, Vince is a grandfather. Shouldn’t they both grow up and move on?
Vince talks about the company moving on. He rattles off a lot of wrestlers names. One name is constant MacMahon. Does HBK want to move on? Vince could do that with a snap of his fingers. Does HBK want that? He now has responsibilities. He wouldn’t want Vince to make him move on. There is no other place for HBK to go. There’s not WCW. HBK like everyone else works for the man. And the man HBK works for is Vince.
Vince says how HBK is now eating humble pie and is swallowing his pride. Everyone swallows their pride everyday when we all go to work. HBK will do as Vince tells him to do. He then slips and calls him Bret. Vince’s New Year’s Resolution is to not take any crap from anyone, at all. Vince says he screwed Bret Hart, don’t make him screw HBK.
They stare each other down and Vince tosses the mic away. Vince stops before leaving the ring and stares at HBK some more. HBK takes off his jacket. Vince says something to him quietly and leaves the ring. HBK looks cowed and pissed at the same time.
