Triple H: Guess who’s back!! Yeah that’s right I am back on RAW and I am here to stay!! When I lost to JBL at JUDGMENT DAY everybody thought that I was going to fall into insignificance. Triple H is bigger than that. Eric Bischoff is bigger than that. When I left for SMACKDOWN in December it was not because of Eric Bischoff. When I left back in December I didn’t leave because of Dave Batista. I left back in December because of all off you ungrateful bastards!! That’s right you are all ungrateful bastards. I have achieved everything there is to achieve in this business. I have done it all. I have beaten everybody!! There is not one man in this business who I haven’t beaten and what do I get for it. Absolutely nothing. No appreciation. No nothing. You lot a freaking joke!! You wouldn’t know a champion if it came and slapped you in the face!! Last week I joined The Bischoff Association because these people appreciate greatness!! Randy Orton a third generation superstar appreciates greatness!!

Triple H: Who the hell invited you out here Shawn? Shawn what makes you think you are relevant to me?

HBK: Well Hunter I came out here because I heard barking in that deep monotone voice of yours about how great you are. That raised my eyebrows somewhat. Hunter the only reason you got to some kind of greatness was because of me!! HBK Shawn Michaels. I gave you the break you needed and granted you never looked back but back in the day we all know who was top dog!!

Triple H: Yeah Shawn 8 years ago you were top dog. But this is 2006 and wakeup call Shawn. I am better than you!! I have proved it time and time again!!

HBK: Is that right? You think you are top dog?

Triple H: You damn right I am top dog!!

HBK: Didn’t you just get beat from JBL? If you get beat from that piece of crap then in my book you are not top dog!! But since we are talking about top dog why don’t we see who really is top dog. Let’s stop talking about who is top dog and let’s see who is top dog right here in Las Vegas!!

Triple H: You want me tonight?

Bischoff: Triple H. I have an idea!! Shawn you want Triple H, you got Triple H one on one!! But just not tonight!! You see that match is huge!! Triple H vs Shawn Michaels puts bums on seats so this match will happen at the KING OF THE RING!! But as far tonight is concerned then you two are going to get the chance to go at it.

THURSDAY MAY 25TH 2006

The end of the WWE Championship between JBL and Ric Flair is shown!!

The SMACKDOWN titles roll and then the pyro goes off in the arena!!

Michael Cole and Tazz welcome us to SMACKDOWN!!

Cole: We have another stellar night in store from Bakersfield California with three huge main events!! Welcome one and all to SMACKDOWN I am Michael Cole alongside my broadcast partner Tazz!! After the loss last week over the weekend Ric Flair requested a non title match with JBL and earlier today GM Foley granted that request!!

Tazz: He sure did and last week’s title match was off the chain with Flair just coming up short but tonight he gets the chance to put things right!!

Cole: Also tonight two huge title main events with the WWE Tag Team Championships in a Tables Match!!

Tazz: The Dudley’s go up against Carlito & Spike Dudley!! That will be one hell of a match!!

Cole: Also Orlando Jordan will defend the US Championship against a man on a mega roll!! He is Charlie Haas!!

Tazz: Haas is red hot right now Cole but can he win the big one and become United States Champion? We will find out tonight!!

Mick Foley’s music then hits and then he makes his way to the ring!!

Foley: How are you good people of Bakersfield? I myself am in a good mood. I am in a good mood because we have one hell of a show in store for you tonight!! As Cole and Tazz already announced I have granted Ric Flair a re match against JBL tonight but not for the WWE Championship!! I couldn’t do that. I couldn’t give Ric another title shot because we need to move forward. We need to move on. We need to find a new number one contender for the WWE Championship. So over the weekend I got to thinking and I thought right here tonight we will have a 20 man over the top rope battle royal but then I remembered I booked that match for Cruiserweights later tonight so that idea was struck off the list. After scratching my head some more I came up with a fatal 4 way elimination match between Angle, Show, Eddie and Rey!! That would be a great match!! But I decided against it. I decided against because I thought I went one better!! Involving those four men let’s have a KING OF THE RING style tournament and find out who deserves to be the number one contender!! Right here tonight in Bakersfield California!! It will be Kurt Angle going one on one with Rey Mysterio!! The winner of that match will then go into the Finals of the tournament in two weeks from tonight!! With that match sorted that leaves the other Semi Final match. That other semi final match will also be a re match from JUDGMENT DAY when Eddie Guerrero goes up against the 500 pound Big Show!! That match will take place next week with the winner facing the winner of Angle and Mysterio in two weeks!!

Kurt Angle’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring!!

Angle: Mick I applaud that you have made a decision in regards to the WWE Championship but what I don’t applaud is that you didn’t come out here and declare Kurt Angle as the number one contender!! Mick I don’t get it. I defeat Rey Mysterio at JUDGMENT DAY and I get forced to face him again tonight to see if I can get a chance to face Eddie Guerrero or Big Show? Are you freakin out of your mind? Mick I should be the number one contender!! I am the best pure athlete you have and I would be the greatest WWE Champion you could possibly have!!

Foley: I agree Kurt. Kurt you know I am a huge fan of your abilities and you know that I know you would be a great WWE Champion and if you get through your next two matches then you will get a shot at JBL and the WWE Championship!! Have a nice day!!

Mick Foley’s music hits and he pats Angle on the shoulder and then leaves the ring!! Angle looks on the ring cutting a frustrated looking figure!!

Carlito wanted to be the WWE Tag Team Champion and all Spike cared about was getting one over on Bubba and D’von!! Spike didn’t care about the team!! That’s why I had to cut him off my team!! Spike doesn’t deserve to be on my team!! Spike is a little runt and tonight we meet in the ring tonight I will prove that I am that much better than he is!!

Matthews: With that being said will you look for a new tag team partner?

Carlito: No. I realised that Carlito is bigger than the Tag Titles!! Carlito should be going for the WWE Championship or at least the US Championship!! So when I take care of Spike Dudley here tonight I will pursue my destiny!! Now that is cool!!

Carlito vs Spike Dudley is next!!

Ric Flair’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring and picks up a microphone!!

Flair: When my best friend in this business today Triple H moved to RAW the night after JUDGMENT DAY it left me alone here on SMACKDOWN. It left me without my partner. But after I had a think about things I decided to stay and re focus my career. I decided to go for the WWE Championship once again to prove to myself that Ric Flair is still relevant in 2006. I needed to find if Ric Flair still had what it took!! I had to know that Ric Flair could stand toe to toe with the likes of JBL and win!! My entire career has been about winning and being on top of the mountain. Whether I being in the NWA, WCW or here in the WWE. I have always been on top. Again whether as a wrestler or as a manger in the last couple of years to the likes of Randy Orton, Batista and Triple H. All three of those men won titles under me!! So I have been successful in everything I have done in this great business. But the last couple of weeks have been tough. A couple of weeks ago I challenged JBL to the WWE Championship 100% believing I was going to walk out of that match as the WWE Champion!! But as everyone knows I came up short!! And I had to prove to myself that I could beat JBL so I challenged him to a match last week on SMACKDOWN with no titles on the line. And I came up short again. And after that match I told the reporter that here tonight I would make an announcement on my future. I have been thinking about this all week and I can only come to one conclusion. I can only come to one conclusion for me not being able to compete at the top of the game anymore!!

Rey Mysterio’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring!!

Mysterio: Sorry to interrupt you Ric but I felt I had to come out here and say something to your face. Ric I have known you for a very long time. Since the days of WCW in all that time you have been like a father to me!! You have helped me hugely when no one wanted to help!! So I feel Ric I owe you!! Ric I feel I owe you what I think!! Ric I believe deep down in my heart that you can still compete with the best!! Ric you are the greatest in ring performer of all time!! 18 time World Champion and I believe you can make it 19!! I truly believe that Ric!!

Flair: Rey that means a lot!!

JBL’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring!!

JBL: Rey Mysterio who in the hell do you think you are? Ric Flair is going to retire tonight here on SMACKDOWN and you come out here and try to change his mind!! Rey you are a disgrace!! I beat this man into retirement because I am a wrestling god!! Ric Flair is no longer the greatest of all time, I am!! That’s why I am out here to make sure you go through with it because if you don’t I will make your life a living hell!!
Mysterio: JBL why don’t you just leave and allow Ric Flair to make his own decision!!

Flair: It’s ok Rey. JBL you didn’t put me into retirement. I can still go. Given another chance I would kick your ass right where you stand!! But I don’t want to do that anymore!! I don’t want these great fans to see Ric Flair not on top of his game!!

Mysterio: Come on Ric. I know you could beat JBL for the WWE Championship!! These people know you can do it!!

Ric Flair then drops his microphone looks to the crowd and gives them a wave and then goes to leave the ring!! Mysterio still tries to talk to Flair and then Flair stays in the ring and then extends his hand to Mysterio!!

Flair then squares up to JBL and then backs away and offers his hand!! JBL then smiles and shakes the hand of Ric Flair!!

JR: Hello everyone and welcome to MONDAY NIGHT RAW and we are just six days until the KING OF THE RING and what will The Bischoff Association have in store for Batista tonight after last week Randy Orton fooling us all into thinking he was seriously hurt from a Batista attack a couple of weeks ago? We are sold out in the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh PA and King what a tag team main event we have in store tonight!!

King: JR the four men in the semi finals of the KING OF THE RING will be in the same ring tonight when Chris Jericho teams up with John Cena to take on the big red machine Kane and Captain Charisma Christian!!

Eric Bischoff then takes a microphone!!

Bischoff: Welcome to MONDAY NIGHT RAW!! And by god am I Eric Bischoff in a good mood!! And we haven’t even had the KING OF THE RING yet!! Why am I in a good mood? I will tell you why. Last week Jonathan Coachman wheeled a stricken Randy Orton to the ring and distracted Batista. After Edge, Triple H and yours truly beat down Batista a miracle happened!! One of the biggest miracles in the history of RAW happened when Randy rose from the wheelchair and entered the ring and hit the RKO on his challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship this Sunday Dave Batista!! Dave did you really think you would get away with throwing Randy off the stage? Well Dave last week I hope you got the message loud and clear. When you touch one of The Bischoff Association you better be ready for the consequences!!

Orton: Two weeks ago Batista lived up to his nickname. Batista two weeks ago you turned into an animal and launched me off the stage and left me there to suffer. The first couple of days were for sure hard but the doc told me there was no serious injury and I would be cleared to compete in time for the KING OF THE RING!! Batista this Sunday I hope you are ready. I hope you can control yourself because if you don’t you will never get a World Heavyweight Championship match while I Randy Orton is champion!! And newsflash Dave I plan on being champion for a very long time!! Dave if you don’t win this Sunday you won’t get a title shot for a very long time!!

Edge: As far as Chris Benoit is concerned then this Sunday at the KING OF THE RING I will be like Randy Orton and I will retain my InterContinental Championship!! Chris you maybe a suplex machine, you maybe a headbutt machine, Chris you maybe the best damn technical wrestler in the WWE but the real truth is Chris you ain’t got nothing on me!! I am the Rated R Superstar for a reason!! I don’t need to be the best technical wrestler as I will make this match on Sunday a fight!! Chris I will fight you this Sunday and when I do there will only be one winner!! Me!!

Triple H: This Sunday Edge defends his title against Chris Benoit and Randy defends against Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship but as far as I am concerned the only match that matters is Triple H vs Shawn Michaels!! Shawn when I returned to RAW you came out here and called me out on why I left in the first place!! Well Shawn if you want me at my best this Sunday you will have no worries!! Shawn this maybe the last time we get in the ring together!! Shawn this Sunday it will be a pure wrestling match and I guarantee you that when you play this game, Shawn your game will be over!!

Bischoff: But that’s this Sunday!! We have a show to put on tonight!! And as we have heard already tonight a huge tag team match between the four semi finalists of the King of the Ring as been signed!! But I am going to add to that!! Tonight every man in our three main events this Sunday will be in action!! Edge you will go up again one of Chris Benoit’s best friends in the man beast Rhyno!!

Edge: Rhyno is no man beast. I am the real man beast!!

Bischoff: And you will prove that right here tonight!! Triple H you will take on an old foe and my nephew Eugene!! I hope you destroy that little boy!! Chris Benoit you will go one on one with one of the hungriest superstars on RAW and a man who came to me earlier today and demanded to get a match well Maven you got your match!! You and Benoit tonight!! Shawn Michaels you will go one on one with Muhammad Hassan!! Dave Batista you will go one on one with one of the best rising stars here on RAW, the masterpiece Chris Masters!! And last but certainly not least the World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton will take on Tajiri!!

THURSDAY JUNE 8th 2006

A video package of Ric Flair turning on Rey Mysterio and shaking hands with JBL is shown!!

The SMACKDOWN titles roll and the pyro goes off in the arena!!

Michael Cole and Tazz welcome us to SMACKDOWN!!

Cole: What will be in store in Wheeling, Pennsylvania tonight on SMACKDOWN, will we find out the reasons to why Ric Flair turned on Rey Mysterio and seemingly joined JBL? Also tonight we find who JBL will face for the WWE Championship at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH when Kurt Angle goes one on one with Eddie Guerrero!!
Ric Flair’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring!!

Cole: Tazz straight up off the bat are we going to get the reasons why Ric Flair decided not to retire but to stab Rey Mysterio in the back and join up with JBL!!

Tazz: Well I hope so Cole I think we all deserve an explanation from Flair about his actions last week on SMACKDOWN!!

Ric Flair gets into the ring and takes a microphone!!

Flair: The one question people have been asking the Nature Boy all week is why? The one question people have been asking the Nature Boy is why you turned your back on poor Rey Mysterio and joining up with JBL. Well I got one thing to say to those people asking why. I am the Nature Boy Ric Flair and Ric Flair doesn’t answer to no man!! I do what I want when I want to do it!! At JUDGMENT DAY I was in the corner of my good friend Triple H in a match with JBL where the winner took the WWE Championship and the loser heading over to RAW. That night the best man won!! That night John Bradshaw Layfield defeated Triple H and became WWE Champion!! He became the man!! The following weeks after I tried to prove I was still the man and that I could take the WWE Championship from JBL but that didn’t happen. I then said I would have a huge announce went to make and then the rumour mill went wild. Is Ric Flair going to retire? Has Flair decided to hang up his boots!! Well Woooo the Nature Boy will never retire!! No one can stop Ric Flair and over that week I made the phone call. I made the all important phone call to suggest to JBL that I become his personal adviser in his administration!! And last week he agreed!! He agreed and when I saw Rey Mysterio come down to the ring I knew what I had to do!! I had to prove myself to my new boss!! Ric Flair doesn’t need to prove himself to Mick Foley, Ric Flair doesn’t need to prove himself to Triple H, hell Ric Flair doesn’t need to prove himself to each and every one of you!! Ric Flair needs to prove himself to JBL and last week I took out Rey Mysterio I proved to JBL that he needs a man like Ric Flair in his administration!!

Mick Foley’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring!!

Foley: Ric I am not going to pretend that we had a great relationship because to be quite frank we haven’t got along for a very long time for various reasons. We don’t see eye to eye on many issues but when Triple H moved over to RAW I thought we would see a different side of the Nature Boy. I thought we would see a side of the Nature Boy that we all could relate to.

Flair: Well Mick I am not going to apologise for being me!! I love being me and people love seeing me!! Foley Ric Flair is all about the money, Ric Flair is all about the late night parties, Ric Flair is all about the gloriously hot women and Ric Flair is all about winning!! So me being with John Bradshaw Layfield makes perfect sense!! And quite frankly Mick Foley I couldn’t give a damn what you think and I couldn’t give a damn what these people think!!

Foley: You may not give a damn what I think but I think that you should!! I think you should give a damn what I think because I am the General Manager of SMACKDOWN and if you get on the wrong side of me then I have the tools to make your life miserable!!

Flair: Mick I would like to see you try!!

JBL’s music hits and then Orlando Jordan, The Basham’s and JBL make their way to the ring!! JBL then takes a microphone!!

JBL: Mick Foley you maybe the General Manager of SMACKDOWN but I am the WWE Championship and I am a wrestling god!! Foley if you want an easy life then I suggest you keep Ric Flair sweet, I suggest you keep Orlando Jordan sweet, I suggest you keep Doug and Danny Basham sweet and I suggest you keep your WWE Champion sweet!!

Foley: JBL I am not scared of you. JBL you don’t intimidate me!! And as the General Manager of SMACKDOWN I am going to make a huge main event for tonight right here in Wheeling, Pennsylvania!! Tonight for the first time ever JBL and Ric Flair will team up in this very ring!! That new team will team up against former WWE Tag Team Champions in Rob Van Dam and the man you took out last week Rey Mysterio!! Have a nice day!!
