MUTA: HEY! Shut your damn mouths, and give us a chance to speak! Mick Foley, get your ass out here!
"IWA CACTUS JACK THEME"
Commissioner Foley enters to a large round of cheers.
FOLEY: What do you want Muta? You already got your chance to book the next PPV.
MUTA: That's what I want to talk about Foley. You see, I know your not an idiot. I know you've worked something into that contract to screw me out of stacking the deck against the NCPW. So come on...what is it?
FOLEY: OK, you've seen through my plan. The rules are simple. 1) Each and every title owned by a Kai En Tai member must be on the line at the PPV. 2) YOUR OPPONENT can choose the rules for the main event. 3) YOU WILL NOT, and I mean this Muta, you will not book your wrestlers against jobbers, especially yourself Muta. You also cannot book Kai En Tai members against themselves. Apart from that, you can prety much do what you want.
MUTA: Good we got that cleared up Mick. But you see, you should have added more than that. I think I can come up with some suitable rules for each match.
FOLEY: Keiji...no matter what you try to pull at POWERSLAVE, you are not getting control of this company. While I have something to say about it, you will NEVER have the NCPW!
MUTA: Well, lets stop that right now then. First rule...YOU are banned from the arena for each and everyone of the matches!
Foley does not look happy, but turns and leaves.

Interview
in the parking lot + an interview
In the parking lot, Tazz has just got out of his car. He is in action in a tag match tonight. As he walks past a car though, Mike Awesome dives over the bonett! He connects with Tazz, picks him up, and hits an Awesome Bomb onto and through a car windshield.
Meanwhile, inside...
In the halls, we have JR with The Dynamic Duo.
JR: Al Snow and Unabomb, The Dynamic Duo have kindly given us some time tonight...
SNOW: But you better make this quick JR, we've got stuff to do.
JR: You aren't in action here tonight...
SNOW: Well dah!
JR: I'm beginning to wish I didn't take this interview.
SNOW: Just shut up and start asking questions JR, our fans want to hear me speak.
JR: Well, OK then. The Flock at POWERSLAVE. THey've chosen a chain match to face youtwo in. How does that grab you?
SNOW: Well JR, it disturbs me. Raven has been following me around for nearly two years now, trying to get me in that ring...
JR: ...actually, i'm pretty sure that you've been following him Al.
SNOW: JR...just shut up and look dumb, you shouldn't have any trouble doing that. As I was saying, Raven has been stalking me for nearly two years now, and now...he wants to be chained to me?!?! Now Raven, if that's the way you are, then that's fine, but try to find someone whos into all that to be chained to.
JR: What are you saying Al?
SNOW: JR...think about it. Not too hard though, I wouldn't want you to kill yourslef or anything. Raven, you may think that chaining yourself to me and Unabomb is a good thing, but let me tell you this: As much as it disturbs me that you want to be chained to another man, namely me, the idea has it's up points for us too. You see, when you two are chained to us, you cannot escape! We've got you right where we want you!
JR: I think you're a bit too confident.
SNOW: (lets off a high pitched laugh) JR, I have every right to be. Raven and Sabu are going down and out at POWERSLAVE.
The Dynamic Duo leave and Jim Ross walks the other way.

InterviewThe Dynamic Duo
"BREATHE"
The Dynamic Duo enter to boos and jeers. They are carrying chains.
SNOW: Now all you people can shut up and listen to what the worlds greatest wrestler and his demon of destruction has to say! Me and Unabomb here have been thinkin'. You see, Raven and Sabu have been stalking us for a long time now, and now they've got themselves chained up with us. Well, I decided that we're not all that perverted like The Flock, so we dont wanna do it! So, i went and talked to Great Muta, and he said this: "Al, if Unabomb can beat Robbie Brookside to within an inch of his life on Fireball, then you can drop the chain gimmick." So, on Fireball, Robbie Brookside will face Unabomb. And you know what? He's gonna enjoy pounding that bloody scouser to hell!
"ONE STEP CLOSER"
The Dynamic Duo look around to see where The Flock will enter from. Instead, we see Raven and Sabu on the big screen.
RAVEN: Al...you really think you can screw us that easily? Well, I knew that you'd try something like this, so I arranged for you to be in action on Fireball too. You Al can face The Great Muta in a no dq match. If you two don't fight, then you'll be fired Al! Quote The Raven...nevermore.
The big screen goes off, and Al looks pissed.

InterviewKai En Tai and Robbie Brrokside
"FLIGHT OF ICARUS"
The Great Muta enters the rin alone.
"DUCK AND RUN"
Foley and Brookside enter.
MUTA: I'm sure the crowd knows why we're here, so lets get on with it! What is the stipulation for POWERSLAVE main event?
FOLEY: Muta, we thought long and hard about this, and this is what we came up with.
BROOKSIDE: 1) This is you and me, 1 on 1! No interference from Kai En Tai!
MUTA: Fine.
BROOKSIDE: 2) To make sure, the match will be fought in a triple tier "Wildcat Cage Match".
MUTA: You got it.
BROOKSIDE: 3) If I win...then Kai En Tai disband!
MUTA: What?
FOLEY: You heard him Muta! Kai En Tai disband!
MUTA: You want all that, then I got some conditions of my own Foley.
FOLEY: Lets here them.
MUTA: 1) If I win, then YOU FOLEY leave the NCPW! 2) This whole holding all the belts thing is off! 3) No members of Kai En Tai can be fired after the PPV should I lose. 4) I want this to be a non-title match!
FOLEY: Non-title? I thought Robbie here was nothing. I thought you said he isn't deserving of a shot at the belt, why make it non-title if he's so worthless?
MUTA: Because Foley, you and Robbie are twisting my arm! You can either accept my stipulations or i'm walking out of this damn company right now, and taking my belt with me!
FOLEY: Well Muta...
BROOKSIDE: ...That's what it'll take to get you in the ring? Then give me this stipulation: If I win, then I get a rematch at the next PPV with the title on the line.
MUTA: You got it Wildcat.
Muta leaves, and Foley seems to be arguing with Robbie Brrokside over something.
