Prime-Time Roundup

Posted: Mar 12th 2008 By: CMBurnham

3-3 WWE RAW

Ric Flair & Shawn Michaels def. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch. After the match, Michaels said he had something he wanted to get off his chest. Everything Flair said last week was right, but he didn't want the match. He doesn't want to be the man who ended Ric Flair's career. He loves Flair, but this is Wrestlemania and he is the Showstopper. Flair was the one who kept pushing for the match, but it will be his show that will be stopped. Michaels left the ring and walked back up the aisle, yelling back for Flair to not make him make the choice.

Jerry Lawler was in the ring and brought out Candice Michelle and Maria to reveal Maria's Playboy cover. Maria said it was a dream to be on the cover. When Lawler pulled off the drape, several photos of Santino Marella's face were strategically placed on the cover. Satino came out, laughing. He said he couldn't allow the fans to see Maria like that and now, every time they think of that cover, they will have an "erectile malfunction". An arguement ensued when Santino insisted that Maria come with him and she refused. He reminded her that he is the man in the relationship and suffested that maybe it was her "timing of the month". As things looked to get physical between Satino & Maria, Lawler hit Satino with a straight right hook, knocking him out of the ring. Candice then picked up a replica cover and dumped it out near Santino. A giant poster of the cover was dropped from the ceiling for everyone to see.

Mae Young was announced as the latest inductee to the 2008 WWE Hall of Fame Class.

3-6 TNA iMPACT

TNA World Champion Kurt Angle was with TNA World Tag Team Champions A. J. Styles & Tomko. He said if they won 2 of the 3 matches they were involved in tonight, they would get a 1-man advantage for 5 minutes in their 6-man match at the Destination X PPV. A. J. asked where Karen Angle was. Kurt said she was at home where she belongs. A. J. said he tried to call her earlier. Kurt asked why A. J. was calling his wife. A. J. said according to Karen, she's married to both of them. Kurt told A. J. to take off his stupid crown and reminded him that he was in a Street Fight that night against Kevin Nash. Kurt said that Nash's weak spot was his knees. He told Tomko that Samoans love to bleed, so tonight, Tomko will be in a First Blood Match against Samoa Joe. Since Kurt is captain, he'll face Christian Cage. He put his hand in the middle and said on "3" they'd all chant "Angle Alliance". Kurt counted to 3, but A. J. didn't say anything while Tomko & Jeremy Borash did. Kurt didn't seem to notice.

Jim Cornette ran down the matches for the Destination X PPV. He brought out Booker T and thanked him. He said his match with Robert Roode had been a long time coming. This Sunday, Booker would get Roode in a strap match. Booker will have Traci Brooks in his corner while Robert will have Peyton Banks. Whoever wins, they're valet will get to lash the other one 10 times. He asked Booker his thoughts on the PPV. Booker started to respond, calling Robert a "chickenhead", but Roode came out and told Booker and Cornette to scew themselves. He said he didn't want to put a woman in harm's way. Perhaps Booker thinks it's funny to see Traci get strapped, but it's against his moral fibre. All the issues between Roode & Booker would end this Sunday. He told Booker to quit hiding behind his "skanks" and to be a man. Booker said they didn't have to wait until Sunday. He went up the ramp to get to Roode, but security quickly pulled them apart, though there was a struggle to keep them apart before they went to commercial.

3-7 WWE Smackdown

WWE Smackdown World Champion Edge hosted his interview segment, The Cutting Edge. He said this year's Wrestlemania was shaping up to be the most depressing on on record. 2 legacies would come to an end this year. He'd never lost to the Undertaker and as far as he was concerned, he was the true phenom. Vickie Guerrero made a 3-on-1 Handicap Match as the main event for the show that night, where Undertaker would face Edge, Kurt Hawkins and Zach Ryder. Edge then brought out Ric Flair. He thanked him for being on the show and said he looked great and he must be excited about the Hall of Fame. He knew everyone heard Shawn Michaels on RAW. In 3 weeks, it was over for Flair. No more limosuine riding, no more jet flying. The Showstopper would stop the show. Flair said the show would go on. He woudl beat Michaels and wrestle long after WrestleMania. Edge sarcastically said there would also be peach in the Middle East, the United States would make up its deficit and Brittany Spears might actually put on some underwear. He then suggested they get back to planet Earth. He wanted to talk to Ric Flair, the loser. He said Flair lost to Undertaker and WrestleMania one year and asked him how that felt. Flair said it didn't feel good and hurt like hell. It was a moment he would never forget. He said Edge won't turn history around. He can't think about ending Undertaker's streak. He has to focus on the possibility of Undertaker chokeslamming him and taking the World Title from him. Losing to the Undertaker didn't hurt Flair's career. It only enhanced it. He called Edge's relationship with Vickie a sham and said he was only using her to enhance his own career. Vickie was upset and didn't care how big of a legend Flair was. She mockingly asked who Ric Flair thought he was and said he had no common sense. Edge camed her down and told Flair not to talk to her like that. He told Flair to watch the Handicap match tonight because next week, it would be 3-on-1 against Flair. It won't be a "Career Threatening" Match. They'll just threaten his physical well-being. Vickie tweaked the match just a little and put it in a steel cage. Edge asked Flair what he thought about that and mocked him by doing some "Whoooo!"s until Flair slapped him and left the ring.
