Prime-Time Roundup

Posted: Feb 17th 2008 By: CMBurnham

2-11 WWE RAW

Mr. Kennedy came out and said that he had given Ric Flair a week to either forfeit the match at the No Way Out PPV or agree to it and be retired. Flair came out at that point. He said he doesn't think they're on the same page. This was food for thought. He has a history lesson for Kennedy. He wrestled for 35 years, twice on Saturday and Sunday, so that guys like Kennedy could work 100 days a year and make a bunch of money. He won't let Kennedy call him out and make him admit he's hurt. Kennedy said if he knoew what was good for him, he would. Flair said he won't forfeit. He's been World Champion 16 times. He knows Kennedy respects that because he knows Kennedy wants to be that once. He said Kennedy had a great future, but not at the expense of Ric Flair. Kennedy will have to beat him to get to his level. Flair must win to survive. Flair
promised to walk the aisle, get in the ring and live to fight another day. There was a staredown between the two and Kennedy appeared to back down, then hit Flair in the leg with a dropkick to Flair's injured knee. Kennedy then left the ring.

2-14 TNA iMPACT

Jim Cornette was in the ring. He said that for several weeks, he'd been trying to get Samoa Joe to sign a new TNA contract. He said he thinks this week everything is in place. Matt Morgan was barred from ringside and TNA World Champion Kurt Angle was preparing to renew his wedding vows later in the show. Cornette called out Samoa Joe. He said Joe deserved the standing ovation he got when he came out. He said if he didn't get the contract signed this week, his next job would be cleaning out catboxes. He offered to let Joe use his back to sign the contract on and said it proved his trust because he was turning his back on Joe. As Joe was prepared to sign the contract, Christian Cage came down to the ring. He said he needed to discuss something with Joe. Joe was assigned as the special enforcer at the Against All Odds PPV. His job was to secure a fair fight. He stopped TNA World Tag Team Champion A. J. Styles from interfering, but he left the back door open for TNA World Tag Team Champion Tomko to come in and make the biggest mistake in his existance. Cage said that was on him and he wasn't blaming Joe for that. Cage then asked Joe to help make it right. He said they're not friends, but he wants him to be his partner tonight against A. J. & Tomko. Joe said he was interested. He knows Cage is angry because his title chase was over and Joe was the next person to get a title shot. Maybe Christian was right. Joe's been dealing with contracts and money. It's been a long time since he'd been in a fight. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", quoted Joe. Joe wanted a fight and he promised a fight for A. J. & Tomko. Cornette said that was all great, but there was TNA business to do. He needed Joes' signature. Joe asked if TNA business was more important that his personal business. Cornette started to stammer a reply, but Joe said he would take care of the personal business first, then maybe he would take care of the TNA business.

Crystal was back interviewing A. J. Styles, who was not in a good mood. She said Cage & Joe had officially challenged for a Tag Team Title match. A. J. said, "So what?" He's sure that match won't happen. Crystal said Jim Cornette gave it his blessing. A. J. said it was the worst night of his life since Karen Angle was renewing her wedding vows to Kurt. Kurt walked up and asked if A. J. had a problem them renewing their vows. A. J. said "No". Kurt told A. J. not to be late because he was the Best Man and reminded A. J. to wear a suit. A. J. that he was picked as the Best Man and referred to Karen as "his girl" after Kurt left.

TNA World Tag Team Champions A. J. Styles & Tomko def Samoa Joe & Kevin Nash due to interference from Kurt Angle.

Jim Cornette went outside where Booker T was and asked how he felt. He told Booker he couldn't sit outside like a stalker. He gave Booker a match for next week: Booker T vs. Kurt Angle. This was done because it appeared that Booker didn't have enough to do. He told Booker to take his frustrations out on Angle and that he'd love to see the match.

Kurt Angle was ready to renew his wedding vows. The minister brought out Kurt & A. J. , then introduced Karen, their daughter Kira and "maid of honour" Jeremy Borash. A. J. was once again in an unhappy mood about the whole situation. The crowd started chanting "Angle sucks!", then switched to "Joe!". When the minister asked if anyone had any objections, Joe came out and objected. He said he & Kevin Nash were going to wait and jump Kurt in the parking lot, but couldn't allow Kurt to make the same mistake with "some dime store skank". Joe knocked A. J. into Karen, then he & Nash stripped Kurt of his tuxedo. The minister, who had bee knocked a little loopy, told A. J., who was helping Karen back to her feet, that he can now kiss the bride. A. J. did so, much to Kurt's astonishment.
