  • Bobby says that Booker should play it smart, and limit his defenses, at least till he's 100%.

• It's time for AskWCW.com
  • Scott and Bobby pretend the (fake) laptop they use doesn't work, for fun.
  • The question:

    
    

  • Bobby claims that Kidman had a tough battle a month ago...agianst Torrie Wilson.
    • "I heard this screaming and yelling and clawing."
  • Kidman:

    Well Matt, that's a tough question, because I've been in the ring with a lot of big guys, a lot of small guys, some high flyers, some fat guys, some skinny guys. But, my toughest opponent would be Sting. Reason being, he's a veteran, he knows all the tricks of the trade, he's got some good moves, the Stinger Splash, the Scorpion Deathlock, the Scorpion Deathdrop. And the people are always behind Sting, no matter what happens, so he gets some extra energy from that, so that would probably be my toughest opponent.

• Misfits in Action (Chavo, Lash and Hugh) (w/Awol and Major Gunns) vs Cody Hawk, Race Steele and Anthony McMurphy
