(As Raw comes on the air, co-commissioner Terry Funk makes his way down to
ringside, his head still bandaged from the Sledgehammer attack by Triple H. )

Terry Funk:
You know, we've got a couple of big Pay Per View events coming up in the next
week or so, and very little time to get matches booked.  So instead of sitting
around on my ass like Shane McMahon has been doing, I decided to book a few
matches.

And the first match revolves around myself, and the son of a bitch that put a
dent in my head last week.  Triple H, you reckon that you're gonna take me out
for good, well now you're gonna have your chance.  At No Mercy, you and I are
gonna have what I like to call a Texas Death Match.  Only the last man left
standing will walk away from that one, and believe me boy, it ain't gonna be
you.  You think that my win against you was a fluke?  Well, you just wait and
see what happens when I don't have the rules holding me back.

And you know what, that ain't the only match that I've booked for myself, as
the second one is gonna take place at Taboo Tuesday.  Shane McMahon, don't
think I've forgotten what happened with you and I at Unforgiven, because I
haven't.  And at Taboo Tuesday, we settle the score.  At Taboo Tuesday, it's
gonna be you and me in a match, with one of three stipulations, that these
people will get to choose from.  Either the winner will get to book the loser
in a match against the opponent of his choosing, in a hark back to our last
match, the winner gets free reign to book the main event for Survivor Series,
or my personal favourite, the winner gets to fire the loser!  So Shane, if the
fans vote for my favourite, Taboo Tuesday could well be the very last time we
ever see you in a WWE ring, and wouldn't that be a damn shame.

Of course, not every Pay Per View match is gonna revolve around me, as I've 
also booked another match that you people might wanna see.  After what went 
down on Smackdown last week, I have officially signed John Cena versus Ric
Flair for No Mercy, and we're gonna find out if Flair can make Cena tap out
again, or if Cena can give the big FU to that feeble son of a bitch named the
Nature Boy.

(The music of Triple H kicks in, and he walks out onto the ramp, along with
Ric Flair. )

Triple H:
Nice to see you again, Terry.  Flaunting all your backstage power in front of
these people.  What kind of asshole would do that, huh?  

So, you want to get your ass kicked again at No Mercy, by me?  That's fine, I
don't have a problem with that.  What I do have a problem with is you booking
me against Christian tonight.  All I'm going to do is make the No 1 contender
look weak, and damage the buy rates for Sunday.  Not only that, but I have to
prepare Batista for his match with Shamrock tonight.  In good conscience, can 
you really do that? 

Terry Funk:
In all good conscience, I think you need to shut up!  I make the matches, I
make the decisions, but so does Shane McMahon.  And it was his decision to
make the match tonight, not mine.  So if you want to lay a finger of blame,
you can do so at his door.  But for now, if you've got a match of your own
to prepare for, and Batista's match as well, I suggest that you go get to work
on that, because your time, just like it will be at No Mercy, is slowly
running out.
