Flair raving to HHH about Batista’s win. Batista rolls in, Flair says that all HHH has to do is hold his own against the other 4 guys, and Batista will come in and Powerbomb them all and HHH can regain the title. Batista then asks for the $100 that HHH owes him for the bet they made last week. (They bet on who would win their match fastest). HHH gets pissed, and has Flair pay him. Batista doesn’t want Flair’s money, he wants HHH’s. HHH pulls out a Benji for Batista, and Batista tells him to get a sense of humor, and that he doesn’t want his money, then walks away laughing.

Recap of Snitsky destroying KANE at Taboo Tuesday.

Snitsky with Maria, says that he is surprised that KANE is actually coming back. Snitsky then asks Maria if she likes surprises, then whispers something in her ear. Maria runs away, and Snitsky tells KANE that whatever happens at New Year’s Revolution, “IT’S NOT MY FAULT”

Edge complaining about HBK being the special guest ref. Bischoff says that when Edge speared HBK out of the World Title at Taboo Tuesday, he added 6 weeks to HBK’s recovering time. And Bischoff lost revenue because of it, so he plans on making it back with HBK being the guest ref in the Elimination Chamber. He then tells Edge that his match with Jericho is next.

DanH276: “America at it’s core is a racist nation, founded on slavery”
DanH276: Yes we are
DanH276: Hassan remembers when people in this country used to PRETEND to be polite, but after 9/11 everything came out, as the US used 9/11 as an excuse to let our true feelings about Arab Americans come out, now we feel it is our right to let our true feelings come out.
DanH276: “If we had gone to Times Square on New Year’s Eve we would’ve been searched.” They also would’ve said “Death to the infidels and blew up Regis Philbin
DanH276: Kings rebuttal:
DanH276: “Are there racists in this country? Absolutely. But there are racists and idiots in every country in the world. You came out and called our troops gutless cowards. That is unacceptable. These people don’t hate you because you’re Arab American, they hate you because you two are a bunch of jackasses!”

DanH276: Hassan flies around the ring on his carpet in anger.

DanH276: “JR, your are a member of the media, you lead these idiots. But it sickens you that I am just as American as you, Mickey Mantle and your Oklahoma Sooners. That pisses you off, but you won’t do anything about it because you’re a coward just like every other American”
DanH276: JR: “I got somethin ta say to you MOhammed. When you unfairly characterize everyone as racist and call our troops cowards, Igot a message for you. As far as America is concerned…you love it, or by GAWD you leave it.”
DanH276: Hassan drops the turban and it’s fisticuff time!
DanH276: Beatdown on JR and King. King thrown out of the ring and JR punted in the ribs by Davari. Hassan chokes JR with his belt as Davari spits all over him in Arabic. JR’s palsy goes nuts. King takes his belt off and crawls back into the ring. Wild semi-conscious swing at the Arabs and they bail. King is busted wide open and Hassan and Davari get back in their airliner and leave.

Thanks Dan!
