Recap of Batista/HHH/Flair from last week.
Intro…Flair vs. Batista tonight.
Recap of HBK/Angle from last week.
HBK comes down to the ring. He starts talking about when Angle jumped him, then mentioned his trip to SD last week, and shows the footage. Angle is on the tron, and he is at the WWE studios in Conn. Angle says that his problem with HBK goes back to 1996. After he won a gold medal with a broken-frickin- neck, everyone was asking him when is he going to go pro…and asked what he thought of the HBK/Hitman Iron Man match. It made him sick. If Angle has been around as long as HBK has, he wouldn’t been better then him, and in the next 4 weeks, he will accomplish everything that HBK accomplished in his full career. Angle reminds HBK that it’s hard to hit sweet chin music when his ankle is snapped in two.
