This week's show features the first round of the TELEVISION TITLE TOURNAMENT as well as fall out from last week's show! Heavyweight Champion Rob Van Dam has the night off, but gets to choose Harley's Race's opponent! Let's get to the action...
'Handsome' Harley Race is in the ring with The Iron Sheik. Last week, Sheik came up short against Van Dam, but Race doesn't seem too concerned and congratulates the Iranian shooter on a job well done. Race says he's ready for Van Dam's mystery opponent tonight, but wonders if anybody would dare face him; "There's no one in the locker room who would want to face me tonight Van Dam. Who is going to risk their career by stepping in the ring with me? I'm not scared of anybody, you bring someone to me and I will demolish them!" Van Dam enters to arena; "Dude, it's real simple. You want my title and you've been playing all these little games to get to me, but it just ain't working. You and Sheiky Baby last week tried a little number that backfired. So this week, I have an idea; why don't I get to fight BOTH of you in a tag match, with a partner of MY choice?! Race and Sheik pace back and forth for a moment. "I think that'll work Van Dam." Exclaims Race, "but you must have forgotten that you have no friends here. We'll meet you in the ring later, but bring it, because this is not going to be easy!" The camera switches to Van Dam who looks as laid back as ever. has he got a surprise for us? I'm sure we'll find out soon...
