Terri: Mr. Hogan�
Hulkster: I think were on first name basis by now Terri..
Terri: Thank you Hulk�. I�ve gotta ask what every one has been dying to ask you since last week�s Raw� Will Ric Flair be back soon? I mean has he officially left the Raw brand, we saw him get some small revenge on Vince McMahon last week. But was Vince right, were you and your lawyer able to find a way that Ric could stay?
Hulkster: Ric Flair didn�t leave the Raw brand� he was forced out of the Raw brand, that was plain to see sister. I honestly can�t say If Ric Flair will be back anytime soon� I seriously do not know. After Vince �Things aint going my way� McMahon showed his ugly face on Raw that night and dropped the news� Ric wasn�t the same. I had never seen him like that, I tried to prove Vince wrong, Marty my lawyer tried to find a loop hole in Vince�s paperwork, but we couldn�t. Ric accepted it and did what he has always done his illustrious career�. He consulted his rule book and for one more time became the DIRTIEST PLAYER IN THE GAME! I didn�t want to see him go, but what Flair did as we were going off air made things a little more bearable� Ric I know you�ll be watching tonight, so tonight is in dedication to you my friend�.
[We then hear someone clapping in the background mockingly. The person walks onto screen and we see that it�s the Rock, the Miami following start to cheer for their home talent]
Rock: That was quite a speech there Whisker Biscuit, and Im sure it meant a lot to Ric Flair, I�m sure your little speech will make it a lot easier when Ric Flair goes and joins the UN-EMPLOYMENT LINE tomorrow morning�.
[The crowd boos and chant ass hole]
Hulkster: Show some damn respect, you may have set the trends the last few years, but Ric Flair is ten times the wrestler you�ll ever be� a certified god damn LEGEND DUDE!
Rock: Come on Ric Flair a legend, you wanna talk about a legend� IM RIGHT HERE old man�. Not only a legend in the wrestling industry� but a legend in HOLLYWOOD! All im trying to do is to help you and the millions of JABRONI�s out there tonight move on with their lives. Hell Flair weren�t that important around here, everyone knows that the Rock equals ratings�. Listen I gotta go, it�s been nice chatting with you, maybe If I ask the day care center nicely, we can arrange another visit� bye bye now! HA HA
[The Rock walks out of shot leaving an irate Hogan]
Hogan: Im beginning to regret giving that punk a Raw contract, sorry Terri I�ve got things to sort out for King of the Ring!

[As Funk closes the door, we see Justin Credible and Raven hanging around backstage, Raven has the Hardcore title over his shoulder. Funk makes his way over to them]
Credible: Don�t tell me they�ve signed this washed up piece of trash? You gotta be kidding me?
Raven: Last I heard Funk quit the Smackdown brand coz he couldn�t handle it? You think Raw is going to be easy huh Terry?
Funk: I tell you what then boys how about we get a few people and we have ourselves a match. Seeing as you just won that strap Raven how about you get your frist defense under your belt?
Raven: Against you? Forget it, I wouldn�t want to injury you!

Match Two

Charlie Haas Vs Chris Benoit
JR: Kurt Angle just lead by example, in our first match tonight by being part of the winning team, it seems Team Angle are coming back to their old form bit of a bumpy start this last couple of weeks, will Charlie Haas progress to the King of the Ring Pay Per View like his team leader did last week? Or will it be the Rabid Wolverine, lets not forgot he�s without his mentor tonight, and will be for a long while by the looks of it� Im talking about of course Ric Flair. Perhaps Benoit will be even more determined to win tonight.
King: What ever happens, I�d just like to point out that Hogan is loosing his grip on his own, I bet it was his idea last week to team these together against Big Show and Booker T. I mean what the hell was the Hulkster thinking teaming last week knowing full well they�d be facing each other this week�
JR: Simple King�. Ratings, and it worked last week, we�ll find out I guess if it worked for this weeks! Chris Benoit was distraught about the firing of his best friend Ric Flair, huge amount of compassion from both competitors

Hulkster: Just get the god damn thing sorted� Your cutting this close!
[Just then there�s a knock on the door, in walk Lance Storm and Edge]
Hulkster: I was wondering when the traitor would show up�
Edge: Hey you gave me no option, I wasn�t being used on Raw, I hardly ever got a match, I went to Smackdown because I am welcome over there, I may actually get a match over there.
Hulkster: Yeah what ever, It�s not you I need to speak to�it�s Lance. So edge get the hell out of my office. Now Lance, it has been stated that any free champions who will not be taking part in the King of the Ring tournament will have to defend their titles�.
Storm: before you go on, I want to make an official complaint� Now the referee�s here on Raw have screwed me many times before, but those matches were not as important as the one last week� I demand you reverse the decision, Earl Hebner had no right awarding the match to Kurt Angle. Once again I am subject to a conspiracy�and I will not�
Hulkster: Cut the conspiracy crap Lance it�s getting old, you hit the referee, you were DQ�ed get over it. You got bigger problems to worry about, like that championship belt. Like I was saying any free champs dude, will be putting their titles on the line.. just like Raven with his hardcore, your defending the IC. It�s going to be an inter-promotional triple threat match! Now I�ve just watched Charlie Haas wrestle for 20 minutes straight, and I was god damn impressed. So he�s going to be your Raw opponent, and I guess you�ll find out who the Smackdown one is later in the week�
Storm: What just so they don�t qualify for the tournament it means they get a shot at my IC gold? I get it you can�t get Jericho to defend the title so your getting the other Canadain champion to defend. Well It doesn�t bother me, these two opponents haven�t earned the right at my title, but hell that�s never stopped you before has it Hogan!
[With that Lance, Storms out of the room, leaving Hogan with a smile across his face knowing he;s got under Lance�s skin]
Match Three
King Of The Ring Qualifier
Big Show vs Booker T
((( WELLLLLLLLLLLLL WELL ITS THE BIG SHOW � BOOM!! )))
King: Here comes the biggest man in the WWE and a genuine living, breathing giant. I damn sure wouldn�t like to be Booker T about now.
((( CAN YOU DIG IT ##static## SUCKA?!?! ##nwo4life## )))
JR: Here comes Booker T, this man was a man I respected until recently, when he had a huge change of attitude with the n W o thing that he seems intent on having.
Lawler: Booker T looks extremely focused as he steps up to circle Big Show. Big Show is very busy with the crowd, while Booker is all business. Both men lock up and the match is off! Big Show throws Booker T across the ring and continues to taunt Booker.
JR: Booker T gets up and looks angry. Booker T lures Big Show into the corner and side steps when Show tries to throw him into the turnbuckle. Dropkick to the knee of the Big Show, again and again. Three dropkicks to the Big Show�s knee and he�s down to one knee. Running kneelift to the face, Big Show is down. Booker T has an advantage for now.
Lawler: Booker is now concentrating on the big man�s knee. Kneedrop onto the knee. Booker T now sits Big Show�s leg on the bottom rope. And drops his full weight onto it, you can hear the Big Show�s screams of pain from here. Very good strategy by The Book. Take out Show�s knee and he won�t be able to stand and hit the showstopper. Genius!
JR: Booker T seems to know what he is doing tonight. He is very focused on becoming King Of The Ring. Another knee drop to the Show�s knee. Booker T is now taunting the crowd, that could be a big mistake. Book comes back goes for another kneedrop, but misses! Taunting the crowd has cost Booker T the advantage in this match.
Lawler: Big Show is back to his feet now, and Booker T could be in trouble. Big Show walks gingerly over to Booker T and head-buts him down to the floor, picks Booker T up and head-buts him again, and again! Three big time head-buts from the Show and he�s back in control.
JR: Booker T staggers to his feet. Clothesline by the Big Show. Big Show picks Booker up and holds him in the air for a gorilla press slam to the floor. Big show goes for the cover..1..2..Kick out! Booker T somehow got his shoulder up, Booker T is still alive in this contest.
Lawler: I dunno how Booker T managed to kick out of that, but He did somehow! Big Show looks angry now, and picks up Booker T again for another press slam. This time he looks like he�s going to throw him out of the ring! But Booker T manages to get an eye gouge and escapes the Show, low blow! The referee didn�t see it, Booker T rolls Big Show up..1..2..Kickout!
JR: I thought Booker T was going to steal it there, but the Big Show�s strength showed there by kicking out of that. Big Show staggers to his feet and Booker T tries to clothesline him, to no affect. Tries again, still nothing, Booker T runs off the ropes and hits a flying clothesline and the Big Show is down!
Lawler: Booker T goes for the cover..1..2..Kick out with a vengeance. Booker T almost falls out to the floor. Big Show picks up Booker T and irish whips him into the corner, but the ref gets in the way. Booker T is down, The referee is down! Big Show is going to the outside and grabs a chair.
JR: What is Big Show going to do with that? Big Show steps back into the ring and swings the chair at Booker T, MISSES!! Booker T with a chop lock to the knee. Booker T has the chair..BAM!
Lawler: Booker T just nailed Big Show across the head with the chair, but it only knocked him down to one knee. Booker T throws the chair out of the ring..Booker T runs off the rope..AXE KICK!! Booker T goes for the pin. 1��.2��. Big Show kicked out. Wait a minute what the hell� Justin Credible is walking down the ramp way with a Kendo stick, he�s gonna go psycho again aint he JR!
JR: Booker is distracting the referee, he�s complaining it was a three count. He�s moved him to one side, Credible is in the ring� CRACK Kendo stick over the head of Big Show� Big Show is just laying on the mat after that blow. Credible jumps down� booker scrambles over to make the cover 1���.2����.3 Booker cheats his way to the King of the Ring. What the hell is going on between Booker and Justin Credible?

Booker has got his first Ennnn Dubbya Ooooh member
Winner and Advances to King Of The Ring � Booker T.
[We go backstage for the final time this evening, we are inside the locker room of Team Angle. We see their hoodies hooked up in a locker. Shelton is preparing himself for his match. Kurt Angle walks into shot]
Kurt: I know your focussed Shelton, I know you can do this tonight, this is your match to win, this will set the standards of your matches from now on� Your first match back was a bit shaky, but tonight you�ll but that right I know you will�
Shelton: Thanks Kurt, I�m ready, Ill show those guys how Team Angle do things�.
[With that Shelton hurries out of the room to go for his match, moments later Charlie Haas enters the room. Kurt commiserates him about him not qualifying]
Kurt: Don�t worry Charlie, it was a hell of a match damn close! You heard about your chance at King of the Ring though right?
Charlie: What you talking about Kurt?
Kurt: Hogan was so impressed with you, you�ve got a shot at the IC title at King of the Ring against Storm and one other Smackdown guy, way to go!
