Suddenly there is Fake Kane!

Torrie is outback heading for the ring with Chloe.
Vince is behind a desk. He says WWE is a juggernaught. There is RAW and Smackdown. But now there’s a new division - ECW. Heyman stated earlier that there is a new champion in RVD.
But there is something else to talk about, like last week. It’s one thing for him to create a kiss my ass club. It’s another thing for someone to wrench his arms behind his back, slam him to the mat and leave him with his derriere in the air. There are kids watching this show.
HHH should remember his good friend HBK who’s at home because of not doing what Vince wants him to. But HBK’s match with SQ was quick. HHH’s match will be very slow. HHH will indeed be united with HBK . . . On the highway to hell.

He says Foley’s said innuendos about what Flair’s said for three years. Flair wants to come out and say it now. He says Foley standing up for WWE is crap. Foley wanted to bring back ECW because he’s only a glorified stuntman. For ten years HHH, Rock, Austin, Angle, Taker have come out and shown greatness. But when people stop Flair they say the best thing they’ve seen was Foley going off the cage and through the table. They’ve bled greatness and Foley went off the cage and is great - that’s BS.
Foley says these people are too young to remember the old Flair matches, they’re too young. Foley does Flair’s call phrases. He says Flair will never be in Foley’s league and it drives him crazy. What’s really gnawing at him is that he can do nothing about it because the glorified stuntman could rip him apart like that.
Flair wants it right now. He backs Foley into a corner and screams at him to take it.
Foley says he can do it, just not now. His eyes are so bad he might mistake Flair for the wrong old guy.

Flair agrees to it.
Foley says he will embarrass him in front of his own fans. He’s going to rip him apart.
