Ric Flair vs. Jerry “The King” Lawler
JR mentions that Flair and The King have only wrestled each other 3 times, and never in a WWE ring. King taunts Flair a bit, doing the struts, but Flair chops away on Lawler in the ropes. Lawler no sells a running chop, and starts slugging away on Flair. Flair off the ropes, Lawler with a back elbow, then an elbow drop for 2. Lawler with a back body drop, and goes for the 2nd rope fist drop, and nails it. Lawler calls for it again, but as Lawler hits it, it looks like he jams his knee. Flair sees this, and chop blocks Lawler, and locks on the Figure 4. Lawler tries to turn the Figure 4 over, but Flair grabs the ropes for some more leverage, and King taps out.
Winner – Flair
Orton thought Lawler could win. A new girl, Melina is in the office with him, and he says that he signed her to be the newest WWE Diva. Maria comes in, and Orton has an idea for the fans, and wants the 2 of them in the ring later.
Commercials.
Orton is in the ring with Melina, Maria and Candice. Orton says that the only thing missing now is more hot women. He introduces Christy, then Baltimore’s own Stacy Keibler. Orton says that tonight he wants to have a Lingerie Fashion show, and asked SpikeTV if he can have some more time for it, but they did not go for it, so they will have to have it right now. All the girls are thrown for a loop, but the crowd and Orton both want to see it, so he asks the Divas if they are up for it, and they all go for it. New girl Melina goes first, and Orton realizes that she is nervous, being her first night at all, but the crowd encourages her along. The rest of the girls follow. So…Jazz, Nidia, Linda, and Gail were all fired, so we can get all the Diva contestants (who are probably making 30-50% less then the afore mentioned Divas) all in their underwear? Well, to give WWE some credit, you can only go so far with the same females, I mean, how many more times can you see Trish in her underwear? Well, plenty of times I’m sure, but at least they freshen things up.
