Mr..... Legend......Ken Kennedy makes his way to the ring. He claims that he should now be considered a legend. He took Terry Funk to the limit. Just like other legendary names in the business. Hogan. Flair. Briscoe. Rhodes. Race. He could go on forever. Terry Funk is probably nursing his wounds in Texas. Which, of course, brings out
Terry Funk. Funk proclaims that Kennedy is right. He did take Funk to his limits. But that doesn't make him a Hogan or a Flair. He's on the right track, though. The best step would be to actually beat Funk. One on One. But the only way that could happen would be over Funk's dead body. Kennedy challenges Funk to a Texas Death Match at Vendetta. Funk accepts. The crowd goes wild. (81)

WINNER: Nick Dinsmore (59/54/64)
It's damn wrong...Kurt Angle is backstage. He's "fire eatin' mad!" Last Sunday, he stepped into the ring expecting Chris Benoit. But now, he's realised that the Chris Benoit he fought in the ring isn't the Benoit he's known. The Benoit he knew fought like a man. This Benoit runs like a coward. And it's wrong. It's DAMN wrong.

Chair Swinging Freaks vs. BlackoutBlackout start the match by attacking before the bell. It's a brawl for all, and Blackout picks up the victory after taking out Axl and covering Balls. After the match, Balls blames Axl and hits the Nutcracker Suite on him.

All about the BenjaminsCM Punk is backstage talking with
Jimmy Jacobs.
Raven walks up. He tells Punk that from now on, Punk stays out of Raven's business. Punk laughs. He tells Raven that the only reason he messed with him is because he was paid to. Someone has it out for Raven, and they just wanted Punk to soften him up. Punk was merely happy to oblige. (88)
Interstate Title Tourney Round 2-William Regal vs. Chad CollyerRegal is focused, and Collyer is ready. The two wrestle ALL over the ring. Collyer is on fire, having studied William Regal. The announcers play up Regal's cockiness and the fact that Regal didn't feel that he had to prepare. Collyer not only wins, but gets Regal to tap to the Texas Cloverleaf.
WINNER: Chad Collyer (74/68/81)
The Monster has tamed the AnimalJames Mitchell is backstage with
Abyss. He wants to know if Batista realizes what he is up against now that he has felt the Black Hole Slam. Does the Animal know that he is going up against a force of nature? A force of nature that will chew Batista up and spit him out. Is Batista scared? Because he should be.... (73)
Kurt Angle & Terry Funk vs. Ken Kennedy & Chris BenoitAngle and Funk are on the same page from the get go. Angle and Kennedy start the match out. Angle tears Kennedy to pieces, and Kennedy goes for a tag. Benoit tags in. The crowd roars. Benoit tags back out. Kennedy looks at him, and man the face he makes is awesome. Angle throws Kennedy around a bit more before tagging in Funk. Funk takes it to Kennedy, and Kennedy counters with a low blow while the ref was distracted by Benoit. Kennedy tags in Benoit, who hardily attacks Funk. Benoit looks like the Benoit of old as he tears into Funk. And he won't let Funk tag in. After some offense by Benoit, Funk sneaks away and makes the hot tag. Benoit bails and tags in Kennedy, who was arguing with a fan in the front row. Kennedy looks stunned, and Angle is pissed. Benoit grabs his belt and leaves Kennedy to the wolves.

Angle wants Benoit and lets him know.
