Report by Richard Trionfo, PWInsider
We start off tonight’s show with a look back at last week when Samoa Joe arrived with Kurt Angle and we find out why Samoa Joe joined the Main Event Mafia.
We are live on tape from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Don ‘Happy Day After Canada Day’ West and Mike ‘Happy Day After Free Agency Begins’ Tenay.
We start off with the Main Event Mafia who come to the ring by height. There is one person absent and that is the godfather Sting. Angle has something to say. Angle tells Sting that he knows that he is at home licking his wounds, but he wants to tell Sting that it was not personal, it was strictly business. Angle tells Foley that he cannot run and he cannot hide, so maybe he should come out to the ring right now, like a man.
Mick Foley comes out and he starts to talk, but Kurt cuts him off and says that Mick committed a cardinal sin by crossing the boss. He told Team 3D that they had a chance to wrestle for the tag titles if they could beat Steiner and Booker. Angle tells Foley that there will be consequences. Angle says that they are the most dominant force in wrestling. Angle tells Foley that his answer is not important, their reputation is important. Angle tells Foley that if you want to dance, you have to pay the band.
Mick says that he messed up and he wants Kurt to leave him alone because he has had a few bad weeks. He just wants to wrestle Kurt at Victory Road. Angle tells Foley that he lied to the Godfather. Foley tells his security to do their job and they fall to the mat after being attacked by the Big Poppa Pipe.
Foley says that he has the worst security and now he is having a horrible week. Foley tells them to go ahead, but he wants enough left so he can recover to face Angle at Victory Road. Angle says that he can kick Foley’s ass, Booker can kick his ass, Nash can kick his ass, or maybe even Samoa Joe. Foley gets to choose and Foley chooses door number one and he punches Angle. The beatdown on Foley starts while Nash watches Steiner choking Foley with the pipe.
Jeff Jarrett’s music plays and he comes to the ring with his guitar and five men leave the ring while one man enters. Joe is busted over his eye.
Jarrett hits Foley with the guitar and he leaves the ring. Jarrett walks past the members of the Main Event Mafia and he is bleeding too. We go to commercial.

We go to the back where Jeremy Borash is in the locker room with Jeff Jarrett and security is pulling Foley away.
Mike Tenay had a chance to talk to Kevin Nash and he says that Nash might be one of the most controversial ever. Tenay talks about Nash and Hall going to WCW. Nash talks about being on the road 300 days as the champion. He says that he barely earned 7 figures. He says that Bischoff offered more for half the time. Nash says that everyone would ask about their bonuses and it turned from who had a good match to how much they got paid. Nash says that he is here for the money even though he still loves the job. Tenay asks Nash if ever conversation has to deal with money. Nash is asked about his match against A.J. at Victory Road. Nash says that he is in the best shape he has been in over the last ten years.
