We start out this week with a Ric Flair highlight reel, focusing on last weeks loss to HHH, but the show nothing after the match.

Intro.

HBK comes out and introduces Ric Flair. HBK calls Flair the greatest wrestler in the world today. HBK calls Flair the standard for any wrestler. He challenges him to a match to see if where he fits in in the standard. Flair says that he gave HBK the torch a while ago, but if he needs a match to prove it, they will get it on. HHH comes out. He asks Flair if he is going to turn his back on him after all of this. He takes credit for kicking Flair in the ass. HHH then tells Flair that he doesn’t want to be against HHH. Bischoff comes out, he says that the 3 men are 3 of the biggest egos in wrestling history. He likes the idea of HBK/Flair, but not here in Mobile, so he makes it for Bad Blood, and makes HBK/Flair vs. HHH in a handicap match. HHH doesn’t seem to happy.

JR & King tells us that Goldberg will be in the Highlight Reel, and Stone Cold is throwing a Memorial Day party.

Chris Jericho’s Highlight Reel
Jericho says that The Rock will be the guest next week. He then says that the reason why he had Storm run down Goldberg was to send the message that nobody wants him around. He says that he issued a challenge to Goldberg years ago in WCW, and apparently his name wasn’t big enough for Goldberg to answer the challenge. So now he is issuing another challenge for Bad Blood. Goldberg hits the ring, and Jericho ducks out of the ring before anything can happen. Goldberg says that Bad Blood is on. Jericho says that he will get in the ring now and kick his ass, but goes to leave again, only for Goldberg to grab him and toss him in. Jericho sprays Goldberg with some mace, and then spears him.

HBK hits the turnbuckle, right into HHH’s boot. HHH goes for a Pedigree, but HBK back body drops out, and nails a superkick. Flair in, and, in a huge surprise, he coldcocks HBK. They go back to Nash who gets drilled with a chair by the masked man, who I guess isn’t HHH, probably Orton. HBK gets Pedigreed for the win.
Winner – HHH

Nash comes out to stop the beat down, followed by the masked man. Flair, HHH, and Masked Man beats down Nash and HBK, they take off the mask to show that it is Orton.
