In the arena:
The music of Mick Foley hit in the arena as he made his way down to the ring, looking to be in good spirits. Foley takes a mic and says he has some great news. It turns out the blurry vision he suffered last night at One Night Stand is going to heal up in a week or so, as will his multiple lacerations, while putting on a show of a lifetime for his WWE fans, and more importantly, the old Mick Foley is back again, the cuddly guy, the human Muppet, and this is a turning point in his career. What he is trying to understand after his efforts&the music of Ric Flair then hit! It s the Nature Boy! Foley didn t look amused. Flair gets on the mic and Foley cuts him off. Foley said he gave him his entrance because of who he is, but what the hell is he doing in his ring. Flair said he has wanted to speak to Foley for three years, and he doesn t care about anything Foley did last night. It means nothing to him. He wants to talk about you and me. Flair says it occurred to him that Foley has made innuendos about what Flair has said about his wrestling career, and Flair has wanted to say it for three years. Flair said that his name is Ric Flair, and around here there is only one name on an equal basis and that s Joe Peterno. Flair said this whole scenario is a bunch of crap. He wanted to bring back the wild show ECW because that s all he is, a glorified stuntman, and for ten years, guys like Flair, Michaels, Triple H, The Rock, Stone Cold, Undertaker, Kurt Angle, have walked out that curtain and wrestled their way to greatness. Flair said people always say to him that the coolest thing they ever saw was Foley going off the cage through the table, and that pisses him off. Flair said they wrestle their way to greatness, and he falls off a cage? That s bulls–t.
Foley said that s not what it s all about. Foley said he knows all about Flair, but these people don t about him and Harley Race, or him and Steamboat and him and Funk. What bothers him wherever he goes, to the WWE fans, his WWE fans, Flair will never be in the same league, he just doesn t match up to the guy who wears flannels and slept on a roof while WWE champion to save a couple of bucks, and it drives him crazy. Foley said more than anything else is the fact that Flair can do nothing about it because the glorified stuntman in the ring could rip him apart like that. Flair took off his jacket and hit an elbow drop on nothing and Flair begged Foley to take a shot. They both got in each others face, and Foley said he could take him like that, but just not now. Foley said his eyes are screwed up and got out of the ring. Flair asked what he has to do? Throw some thumb tacks around the ring? Flair said he wants Foley s ass in the ring now. Foley said that he doesn t get his ass here and now, because he has a challenge for Ric. He isn t going to fight in barbwire or grab a ladder, because he s going to out wrestle him, and he s going to do it at Vengeance in Flair s hometown of Charlotte, and make sure there is no mistake, two out of three falls in a wrestling match! Flair said after he wrestled Edge in that TLC Match he woke up and wanted Foley so bad. He said they are not screwing around, him and Foley in Charlotte, he s got it. Foley said he will embarrass Flair in his hometown and the legend of Ric Flair will be done!

Cena then nailed Balls in the head with it and Cena has laid out three ECW guys. Cena took the mic and said at One Night Stand, he got an awakening as to how ECW does business. According to them, hell, anybody can show up, and when they get there, they can do whatever the hell they want. Well you know what he thinks. He thinks he likes it. Cena smiled and said as for now, he thinks he really likes it, because tomorrow night is the television debut of ECW. And he s going to show up, and when he does, he s going to do whatever the hell he wants to do, so Paul Heyman, thank you for throwing this party tomorrow night, because John Cena will have an extremely good time.
