Prime-Time Roundup

Posted: Jul 16th 2006 By: CMBurnham

7-10 WWE RAW

Ric Flair is backstage being interviewed by Maria. He says that there's a time for business and a time for pleasure. He's going to go out and tell the world the truth about Mick Foley.

After a commercial break, Flair comes to the ring. He says the truth is that Mick Foley challenged him to a classic 2-out-of-3 falls wrestling match. The truth is that Flair kicked Foley's ass in 2 straight falls, proving that Foley is nothing more than a glorified stuntman. Foley comes on the video screen with a rebuttal. He referes to Flair's claim of Foley always taking the easy way out in pro wrestling. He wonders about the validity of this, since, whereas, according to Foley, Flair drank heavily and talked out of his ass for 2 days, then had a ghost writer type everything up and put Flair's name on his "autobiography", Foley spent months handwriting his books. Foley refers to 1994 in Munich, Germany, when he lost part of his ear in a match against Big Van Vader. Foley mentions that Flair was his boss at that time and Foley finished the match, much to Flair's astonishment. He asks Flair how that was "taking the easy way out." Foley says that he traveled 1000s of miles, slept in his car and ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches until he was ready to puke, all because he wanted to learn, but now he's criticised by a man who's current best move is grabbing another man's genitalia. He refutes Flair's claim that he's not a badass. He tells Flair to get another cliche and calls him a used up hack. He said he knew Ric Flair no longer mattered when he saw Flair's family cry. Foley then runs off a partial list of his credentials: Hardcore legend, 3-time WWF World Champion, 2-time New York Bestselling Authour, interviewed by Katie Couric and he's a close personal friend of Melina. He then states that there will be no rematch between the 2. Flair tells Foley to stop crying about the past. He calls Foley out to the ring and says, "Let's get hardcore". Paul Heyman comes down the ramp, instead. He says that he made his peace with Mick Foley. He mentions how he & Foley were talking recently about how Flair keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. He casually mentions that Flair never wrestled in ECW. He then shows the audience footage of Big Show's ECW World Title victory over Rob Van Dam. Big Show then comes to the ring. Show mentions how he's the only man in history to hold the WCW World Title, the WWF World Title and the ECW World Title. He tells Flair that there's nothing more extreme than to stand in the ECW ring and stare him in the eye. Show challenges Flair to a match for the ECW World Title the next night. Flair accepts. Paul Heyman then calls Flair a son of a bitch, which distracts Flair so that Big Show can attack him from behind.

Charlie Haas & Viscera faced off in a match. Both kept trying to impress Lillian Garcia. Garcia finally takes the microphone and asks them to stop what they're doing. She says she just wants to be friends with both of them. Haas rakes Viscera's eyes, goes to rebound off the ropes. Lillian steps in front of Viscera to keep Haas from attacking him while he's blinded, but Viscera mistakenly picks her up, after Haas has turned his back, and gives her a Samoan Drop. Haas and Viscera then have a staredown. Medics come to the ring. Viscera and Haas suddenly look at each other, laugh, and leave the ring together.

Jim Duggan confronts Shane McMahon in the back. He says that Shane never had any respect for anyone. He challenges Shane to get revenge for the treatment of Eugene earlier by Shane & Vince McMahon. Vince then hits Duggan from behind with a chair and the McMahons shove him out of camerashot.

7-11 ECW

Ric Flair does a backstage promo. He says he'll chase down his 17th World Title tonight. He tells Mick Foley to stop crying and whining and grow some testicles. He wants to fight Foley on Foley's terms. He says he knew the Big Show when Show started in the business. Show had all the tools. Flair then says he never wanted the ECW World Title until now. He finshes by saying that if Big Show makes a mistake, he'll eat him alive.

A Sting interview package is shown. He says that Jim Cornette did what he had to do regarding the NWA World Title situation. He says he's not going to run from Samoa Joe. He says he will get the title from Jeff Jarrett and finishes by guaranteeing it will be showtime at Victory Road.

Another training video of Shane Douglas and the Naturals is shown. Shane says that at Victory Road, he will unleash the new Naturals against the Diamonds in the Rough and then proceed back to the NWA World Tag Team Title.

Interview package with Christopher Daniels & A. J. Styles. They say that noone doubted their ability to compete with America's Most Wanted. It was always interference from Gail Kim that was the problem. So they went out and got Zerelda to negate her. Styes says that if you want to know about Zerelda, ask her, "or better yet, ask Gail Kim". They mention that Victory Road will be America's Most Wanted's last chance for the NWA World Tag Team Title.

NWA World Tag Team Champions Christopher Daniels & A. J. Styles def. The Paparazzi. Alex Shelly tried to use his camera tripod, but Zerelda comes to the champions' rescue, allowing Styles to hit the Styles' Clash and get the win. After the match, America's Most Wanted and Gail Kim attack the champions. They handcuff Daniels to the ropes. Kim and Zerelda battle up the ramp while America's Most Wanted & the Paparazzi beat down Daniels. They then stand in the ring and hold up the Tag Team Title belts above them.

Interview package with Jeff Jarrett. He says that it makes him sick to his stoumach that the people turned their back on him. He had nothing to do with Zbyszko & Hebner's actions at Slamiversary and is willing to take a polygraph to prove it. He says that Christian Cage came into NWA-TNA with momentum, but now his tank is on empty. He says that Samoa Joe has never been in a big money match. He says that Jim Cornette threw a wild card in by putting Joe in the match this Sunday. He says Scott Steiner has his back, but as the King of the Moutain, he really can't trust anyone. He says Sting's worst nightmare has come true because when Jarrett is backed into a corner, he always comes out a winner. He says he'll take Sting out of NWA-TNA.
