Now, the second match of the tournament is going to be taking place tonight in the main event, and it will be the two former champions with the most number of title reigns; that means its going to be 16-time champion the nature boy Ric Flair versus 10-time champion the game Triple H! (crowd goes insane) The first match of the tournament, however, will take place right now so first of all let me welcome Washingtons own, Batista to the ring. (major cheers from crowd)
Batistas music plays as he walks down to the ring.

Batista: Well Teddy first of all I just like to say thanks for this opportunity.
Long: No problem playa.
Batista: And secondly I challenge the rated r superstar Edge! (cheers from crowd)
Long: Ok then if thats your decision, get me a referee and Edge out here right now.

JR: That sure is King and we also have two former friends and Evolution members going at it in our main event, Triple H and Ric Flair.
King: Dont forget JR, we also have the Womens championship and the Hardcore title up for grabs tonight, I cant believe!

Commercial @ 1:23
JR: Were back folks, and this hardcore match has been just that.
King: Thats right JR and it hasnt stopped.
Sabu is laying on the floor outside the ring after he missed a triple jump ddt on Hardcore Holly. Holly is currently in control of the match as he has sandman locked in a full nelson. The crowd start to cheer on Sandman as he tries to break the lock. He slowly drags himself and Holly towards the ropes, but he is still struggling to break free. Unaware to them, Sabu has regained consciousness and has placed a chair in the ring as he goes for the flying arabian skull crusher to the back of Hollys head. He bounces of the ropes and climbs the steel chair and he connects, sending both of his opponents to the ground. Sabu points to the crowd, as they cheer. Sandman starts to stand up, and Sabu sees this so he picks up the chair and hits him with an arabian face buster, sending Sandman to the outside. Seeing that Holly is still down, Sabu goes to the outside of the ring to get another weapon. He looks under the ring and pulls out a trash can. He throws it into the ring and follows it. He positions it inside a turnbuckle and goes to attack Holly once more. However, Holly is up and he stops Sabu with a series of punches. Holly confidently goes outside and grabs Sandmans cane. He slides into the ring and goes to hit Sabu with it when Sandman grabs it from behind him. Holly looks around stunned and receives a blow to the head, busting him open. Sandman hits him again before turning his attention to Sabu. He goes to hit Sabu but Sabu trips him into the trash can in the corner of the ring. Sabu proceeds to attack Sandman with his own cane. He then throws it into the crowd. Sabu looks to finish this match when, out of nowhere, Hardcore Holly hits him with the already dented steel chair, busting him open as well. Sabu is down and Holly goes for the pin: 1...2...3 He has it. Sandman couldnt get there quick enough and Sabu didnt kick out so Hardcore Holly is the new champ.
Hardcore Holly def. Sabu and Sandman @ 1:41
Lillian: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match and your NEW Hardcore Champion, Hardcore Holly.
Holly clenches his fists as he celebrates. He goes to the outside and the referee hands over the title. Holly grabs it tightly and wipes his blood over it. (crowd applaud all three competitors)
King: He done it JR, Hardcore Holly is the new champ.
JR: He sure is King and what a match that was. And its not over yet as next is Ric Flair versus Triple H.

MATCH 6
SINGLE (WHC TOURNAMENT R1 QUALIFYING MATCH)
TRIPLE H w/ SHAWN MICHAELS VS RIC FLAIR
REFEREE: CHARLES ROBINSON
D-Generation Xs music hits first as Triple H and Shawn Michaels make their way down to the ring. Both of them are carrying microphones.
Triple H (to audience): Are you ready? I said are you ready? Then, for the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching at home. Let's get ready to suck it!
Michaels: And if you're not down with that, then we got two words for ya
(crowd): Suck it!
Ric Flairs music plays as he comes down to the ring.
Flair and Triple H square up in the middle of the ring, as Shawn looks on from the outside. They lock arms and Triple H gets the better of Flair. Flair is down to his knees whilst still holding onto H. H kicks him in the gut, sending him to the floor. He drops his knee to Flairs face. Flair wriggles in agony. H picks Flair up and throws him into the ropes, landing a high knee on Flair. H goes to pick Flair up again but Flair resists and hits H with a punch to the face. Flair hits him again as he tries to stand up. Once to his feet, Flair gives H a slap to the chest. And another, and another, and another. (crowd chants wooo every time Flair slaps H on the chest) Triple H is down. Flair goes to put H in his figure-four leg lock but he kicks out of it, sending Flair into the turnbuckle. All of a sudden, two men appear from the crowd and run to the ring. Its Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch. Shawn Michaels sees this and goes after them. He gives Murdoch some sweet chin music, but Lance Cade runs over to Ric Flair and hands him some brass knuckles. Triple H and the referee arent looking as they are watching Shawn throw Murdoch back over the barricades and running him off. When Triple H turns around, Flair hits him in the face and he goes straight down. Flair covers him and the referee starts counting: 1...2...3 Ric Flair is victorious. Lance Cade quickly enter the ring and they start stomping away on H. Cade holds H up as Flair hits him with the brass knuckles again. H is now wearing a crimson mask. Shawn Michaels rushes back into the ring as Cade and Flair scarper.
Ric Flair def. Triple H @ 1:56
JR: How rotten was that plan by Flair. No wonder hes called the dirtiest player in the game.
King: Yea, but it worked and hes through to the next round.
JR: But what I dont understand is what business is it of Cades and Murdochs.
Teddy Longs music plays as he stands on the stage.
