Backstage, Kelly Kelly is with Kofi Kingston and a giant Playboy issue of Maria. Kofi lays on the affection of Kelly and moves on. Kelly turns around and Layla is there. Layla says she’s jealous cause Playboy asked Layla to pose and not Kelly. Kelly calls Layla a liar. Layla slaps Kelly. Am I really covering this?
KANE vs. James Curtis
Come on. James Curtis? anyway, Chuck Palumbo comes down to the ring. you see, if you don’t watch Smackdown, it looks like some idiot on a motorcycle doing an impression of the Undertaker circa 2001. And isn’t that the guy who pledged his love to Billy Gunn? It’s all correct. Anyway, the match lasts less than two minutes and it’s over. This was necessary on my show?
It’s snowy in Cleveland.
Remember that we’re approaching Wrestlemania so we’re going to see loads and loads of replays building to the matches. This time it’s a Big Show/Mayweather replay from RAW. I’ve gotta say, I LOVE the Big Show in the role that he’s in. He’s not gonna win, but I want him to win sooo bad. Maybe they paid Mayweather that $20 million to lose the match? Yeah, I know that’s farfetched, but I can dream, right?
Lena is backstage with Punk. Punk wants to make one thing clear. Chavo likes to call himself a warrior, and there’s one Guerrero synonymous with the word warrior and it’s not Chavo.

WOW. that was one hell of a match. I don’t do stars for matches very often, but that one rates up there as a **** minimum. That was the best match on ECW in recent memory. That was a great match between these two. They were even given twenty minutes to tell that story. I hope they have a rematch at Wrestlemania, cause these two are a good match for each other.
