Cole and Tazz talk about the views choice program tomorrow night. Cole says what a year it’s been and what a year for Edge. Tazz and Cole discuss the titles Edge has held this year and his new Zombie theme. We are taken to a really nice video of a Edge. It starts out with his titian tron and has a few pieces of his matches, his appearance with Rob Zombie, and his thoughts on the year. (I’d look to see this again on Raw or Smackdown.)

Backstage: We see Mighty Molly wrapping up her rendition of why you shouldn’t play with scissors. Molly gives the kid his scissors and sends him on this way. Test yells, “Yeah ya punk!”.

He said he never used a shopping cart in a match and now he can’t look at shopping the same again. *he gave a smirk after that comment* Cole asks Rhyno if he has any new year’s resolutions? Rhyno says, “Be more intense.” End of Interview.

We come back to a clip of Y2J on vacation. He’s standing by the pool talking about all the perks of being the Undisputed World Champion. He tells us of the year he’s had: IC Champion, Hardcore champion, Tag Team Champion (Twice). He says it just goes to show that he’s had a better year than all of us. But then again why shouldn’t he, he’s better than all of us. Y2J starts rolling off that he’s beaten all the top guys in the WWF. Y2J asks if there is anyone he has left to beat. He says that he hasn’t beat the kid with big eyebrows from that TV show… Nope there really isn’t anyone left for Y2J to beat, because he is better than everyone. He figures he should just retire, he’s done it all. He said maybe he could be a Cook or a Baker or a garbage man like all of us. Nope, Y2J says that he’s going to continue to wrestle and continue to be the Undisputed World Champion next year and the year after that!
