JR: Lets kick things off right away with Abyss message.
Abyss is in a dark room with James Mitchell.
Abyss: Kane, you call me a rip off. You say I used you Mankind. Well, why dont you prove yourself to me, Mankind. I know your past your prime, but how about one for old times sake? Your more than past your prime, your too old for your own good. But you are Hardcore, and I like that. Thats why I say you take the place of your buddy Kane in our match tonight. I want to beat you with tables, ladders, anything I can get my hands on. So accept this title match. I want you to be just another victim.
The camera moves back as Mankind walks in and the crowd exclaims.
Mankind: Well if the big man says so, I guess ill accept. I havent been in a match since that old turd McMahon fired me from the WWE, but I accept your challenge. Now, have a nice day!
The crowd goes wild as Mankind waves goodbye and walks away. Abyss is fuming.
Mitchell: Calm down, Abyss. Ill ask Bichoff to make the change. Just wait until the match; we all know youll win. But wait until they find out what we have in store for them. Hahhahahaha.

3!
King: Shark Boy wins!
Chimel: The winner of this match, and new Showstopper Champion, Shark Boy!
King: The crowd is going wild!
What King said is completely true. The fans are going wild, until Im Back hits, and Bichoff walks out, that is.
Bichoff: Now, now, Im not going to do any bad. Im just here to congratulate our new Showstopper champion, Shark Boy, on winning his title. But you know what brings in the ratings? Title defenses. At PPVs. So, at New Years Bash, it will be a rematch between Shark Boy and Petey Williams. But this rematch has a twist. If Petey wins, we will have a tournament to decide who will face him at our February PPV, St. Valentines Massacre. But if Shark Boy retains, we will still have a tournament, but Petey Williams will not be able to participate in it! Now that wasnt so bad.
JR: No it wasnt! It was great!
King: It sure was, just like our next match!
JR: But first, Universal Champion Samoa Joe has something to say to Kurt Angle. Well find out what he has to say next.

Samoa Joe: Now I have something to tell you, Angle. I think that you can be a real challenge to me. I really believe so. So, I want to give you a shot. Tonight, in out match, when I win, and I will win, if you challenge me enough, I will give you another shot at the Bash. It will be you vs me in a Six Sides of Steel First Blood match, If you give me a challenge.
Angles music hits as he comes out to a huge pop. In the ring, the two stare each other down, then Angle gives Joe the Angle Slam! He picks up the mic.
Angle: Challenge accepted!
His music plays again as he leaves.
JR: What an amazing development.
King: Yes but next, our GM will have some words about the Clash at the Bash. Well find out what he was to say after this.
Commercial Break
We come back and GM Eric Bichoff is in the ring holding a microphone.
Bichoff: I hope everyone is having a good time, because I sure am. But lets get down to business. This year, at the New Years Bash, like always, we will have our annual 15 man Battle Royal, the Clash at the Bash. But this year, its going to be a little different. Now, we normally have a title or a contract on the line at the Clash, but this year, what is on the line is a title shot at XWEs premier PPV, Night of Xtreme!
JR: What an announcement! That is awesome!
