Maria is backstage with Carlito. Maria said that the people who want to the be cool are not cool and that creates this unique paradox&what the hell. Carlito said he doesnt know what the hell she just said. Carlito said nothing will be cooler than if Carlito becomes the Intercontinental Champion. Torrie then walks by in bra and panties. She asks Maria to rub her over with baby oil, and asks Carlito to hold her puppies&the dogs. Some cheesy music then came on as Torrie and Maria rubbed each other down with baby oil (we've got 29 guaranteed photos of this at the link below, they rubbed each others mid sections and chests) with Carlito looking on enjoying himself. Carlitos music then hit in the arena as he doesnt want to leave. Carlito is pissed and makes his way towards the arena.
