Mick Foley comes out, and gets a cheap plug in for his book, Wrescal Lane. However, over the new few weeks, he will be jumping to SmackDown, to travel to Iraq. Foley says that he isn’t much of a fan of the war, and he still has boxes of Vote For Kerry bumper stickers in his garage, which gets a load of boos from the Alabama crowd, but Foley does support our troops. This brings out Muhammad Hassan & Khosrow Daivari. They talk down the US, and the army, Foley lights up, and invites them into Foley Island, but Hassan says that he doesn’t fight anyone he doesn’t respect. This was a really intense segment, and nothing I can do justice. However, it is something that can make someone feel very uncomfortable.

And, the World title will be decided in an Elimination Chamber! Benoit, Edge, HHH, Jericho, Batista, and Orton will be in the match, and then the melee ensues. Orton and Jericho come out, and Orton nails HHH with an RKO.
