PROMO TIME – Bob Lashley
He reminds us that he needs to beat Vince McMahon to get his ECW title back. He proposes a match tonight pitting Vince v Lashley. A long pause follows. Crowd bite on it with a "Bobby" chant and then VINCE MCMAHON shows up. Hey, no doorag this week. I guess he has enough hair now. He also has Shane & Umaga in tow. Vince rejects the match because Lashley had his return shot and didn't get the job done. Vince says his next match will be at One Night Stand where every match will be no holds barred. He'll be having a street fight with the Blue Meanie! Lashley wants to know why he doesn't get a chance. Shane interupts to tell Lashley he's blatantly not aware of who he's talking to; the chairman of the board. Shane says Vince is "invinceable" in street fights with wins over Steve Austin, the Undertaker and Triple H in those matches. Not to mention Ken Shamrock, Shane and Steph. Shane tells Lashley if he wants a street fight he's got it. Vince tacks on a stipulation though as Lashley has to qualify. Tonight Lashley runs the gauntlet.
RIC FLAIR v CARLITO
JR gets his big Skittles plug in. FRUITY, DELICIOUS, FRUITY, FRUITY, FRUITY. This is a re-match from Judgment Day last night. The 15 minute snoozer opened the show. It's opening this one too. Carlito attempts a quick start but Flair picks him off with chops. Flair's selling is a little wayward again. He sort of keels over and Carlito goes after that arm from last night. Nice to get some continuity with that. Carlito cranks at a short arm scissors and it's nice he's using something he didn't use last night. Flair gets the ropes but Carlito puts the boots to the arm. Flair fends him off with chops. Carlito springboards but Flair ducks out of the way and clips the knee. That was the set up for the finish last night but it was about 11 minutes further into the match. Flair goes for the Fig Four but Carlito thumbs him in the eye. They both go over the top, Flair way before the contact, and the count seems very fast. Flair chops away and both guys are counted out at 4.02.
Winner: double count out. Told you that count was quick.
