Report by: Kiefer Moore This week's show starts off with footage from last week's match between Kurt Angle and the Undertaker for the World Title and Mark Henry's interference in the match, including a splash through the announce table. We are live on tape from Mobile, Alabama and your announcers are Tazz and Michael 'You might be a wrestling fan if . . . ' Cole. Mark Henry comes to the ring with Khosrow Daivari and we are told that due to the injuries that the Undertaker suffered last week, he might not be in Mobile tonight. Khosrow tells us that last week we saw Kurt Angle and the Undertaker in a classic match, but how could there be a classic without Mark Henry involved in the match. There is one man who deserves to be the World Champion. There is one man that is the most dominating force in the WWE. There is one man who deserves to be in the main event at Wrestlemania. That one man is Mark Henry. Mark says that everyone seems to have forgotten about him . . . until now. Batista forgot about Mark Henry until he hurt Batista so bad that Batista had to give up the World Heavyweight Title. The Undertaker took his title shot away from him, but now after last week, the Undertaker remembers. Kurt Angle wouldn't have the title if not for Mark Henry. Mark does what he wants to who he wants whenever he wants. Mark says that he wants his title shot. He calls out Kurt Angle and says that Kurt has options. He can either give it up or he can get it took. Mark says that he doesn't have all night so he tells Kurt to reach down deep inside and find the courage. Kurt Angle's music plays and he comes out with a mic. He tells Mark that if he wants to call him out, he is here. Kurt reminds Mark that he is a wrestling machine. He doesn't have to wait for later for the match and he is ready right now. Angle punches Henry followed by a European uppercut and more punches. >From out of nowhere, Randy Orton comes out and Angle with a double leg take down. Henry comes from behind and attacks Angle. From out of nowhere, Rey Mysterio comes to the ring to help Angle. Rey punches Orton and then kicks him. Orton punches Rey and then hot shots him. Angle punches Henry, but Orton attacks Angle from behind. Orton kicks Angle outside the ring. Orton tells Henry to take care of Rey, who is hanging on the middle rope. Henry with a splash and then he goes through the ropes to the floor. Angle returns to the ring with a chair and Orton leaves before Angle can use the chair. Teddy Long's music plays and he comes out. Teddy tells the playas to stop it right now. He doesn't want to be fining or suspending them before Wrestlemania. If they want to fight each other so bad, in the main event it will be Randy Orton and Mark Henry versus Kurt Angle and Rey Mysterio. Teddy gives out a holla and then he dances to the back and we go to commercial. Match Number One: Fit Finlay (with shillelagh) versus Bobby Lashley in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match Before the bell rings, Finlay comes out with his shillelagh and he goes after Lashley. Lashley picks up Finlay and runs Finlay's back into the apron. Finlay hits Lashley with the shillelagh and then he punches Lashley. The referee pulls Finlay off, but Finlay knocks the ref down. Lashley with a front face lock on Finlay, but Finlay responds with a front face lock of his own. Security and referees come out to separate Lashley and Finlay. Lashley spears Finlay under the Fist-o-Tron and then he punches Finlay as security tries their best to separate the two men. Finlay and Lashley fight to the back. Cole and Tazz talk about how the brawl is a continuation of last week's match. Tazz wonders who can control them. We go outside to the parking lot where Lashley tosses Finlay into the gate surrounding the dumpsters. Finlay gets a lead pipe and he hits Lashley and a security guard before trying to hit Finlay, but he misses and breaks a car window. Finlay hits Lashley with the pipe, but he also misses and breaks another window and the driver side mirror on the car. Lashley punches Finlay and slams Finlay's head on the hood of the car. They fight onto the hood of the car and Lashley tries to make a sunroof using Finlay's head. Lashley throws a security guard into a laundry cart. Lashley lifts the car and Finlay falls off the car. Security tries to keep Lashley from turning the car onto Finlay. Lashley turns the car over, but Finlay was able to get out of the way. We go to commercial. We are back with a Mike Mizanin video package since he will be coming to Smackdown with the Reality Check. We have a moments ago moment of Finlay and Lashley fighting in the parking lot and Lashley turning over a car. Bradshaw comes out in the JBLimo and he goes to the ring. Bradshaw says that he is usually not at a loss for words, but he wants to thank the fans for the outpouring of support since he was savagely attacked two weeks ago. A lesser man would have retired with an injury like this, but because of the fans he tells them that he loves them too. Since his injury, he has been cheap shotted and blindsided by someone who tried to question his legacy. He looks forward to confronting that person face-to-face. That person is Steve Austin. When Austin was asked about the greatest wrestlers from Texas and he mentioned all of them. The Funks, Von Erichs, Murdoch, Rhodes, Hansen, and Brody. All but one that he should have mentioned. Bradshaw reads Austin's comments about Bradshaw. Bradshaw says that he is Texas despite the fact that he left the South. He has the best resume of anyone that is not fiction. Bradshaw mentions that he was a high school all-state football player. He was a two-time All-American. He played professional football. He held every title in Texas. He came to the WWE to cement his legacy and he held the WWE Title for the longest time in the history of Smackdown. He comments that he held the title longer than Stone Cold. The last Wrestlemania he headlined was the most successful Wrestlemania of all time. It was bigger than Andre/Hogan or anything that Austin ever headlined. Bradshaw says that on his best day, Bradshaw is better than Steve Austin. He is a better wrestler, a better performer, a better entertainer, a better talker, and a better draw. The only advantage that Austin might have is that he is a legendary beer drinker. That might be how Austin relates to the average Americans. Bradshaw is not average, but he is an American. Next Saturday, he will do what he does best and that is beat his opponent at his own game. Since he cannot stomp a mud hole in Austin because of his injury, he will challenge Austin to a beer drinking contest. Bradshaw says that he will send him back into his retirement. Fifteen days later, Bradshaw will deal with the man who broke his hand. We see footage of Benoit injuring Bradshaw's hand two weeks ago. Bradshaw says that since Benoit could not beat him, he decided to try to put him out. However, at Wrestlemania, it will be his finest hour. He will personify greatness at Benoit's expense. He will win the U.S. Title. He tells them to put his match on last because they better get a pine box since nobody follows the killer. He reminds us that he is a wrestling God. Teddy Long is in the HollaOffice reading something when Gregory Helms enters. Teddy says that he wanted to talk to him, but then he sees Gregory's face and wants to know what happened to his nose. Gregory says that he broke his nose in Australia. Teddy talks about how Helms called in sick last week. Teddy says that he wanted to talk to Gregory about having to defend the Cruiserweight Title every week and how it isn't fair. Helms is glad that Teddy and he see eye to eye. Teddy says that while he isn't defending the Cruiserweight title tonight, he will have a match. It will be champion versus champion as he faces Chris Benoit. Teddy wishes the playa some luck as we go to commercial. We are back with footage of the Australia and New Zealand tour. William Regal comes out and he tells the fans what they are about to see is a joke. The fans will see a man who thinks he is a buccaneer and will make a bloody fool of himself. Regal tells them to try to hold back their laughter when he beats the bejesus out of his former tag partner and is now a phony pirate. He calls Burchill an embarrassment, a joke, pathetic, ungrateful, and if he comes here tonight he will not be an embarrassment any more. Paul swings out before he walks to the ring.
