Davey Boy Smith gets a pre-taped promo about how it’s not over between him and his son by a longshot. He drove Tyson Kidd out of WCW. He made Bret Hart run back to WWE with his tail between his legs. He made Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart steer clear of him. Harry wishes he could avoid Davey Boy too, but they’re blood and Harry will never be rid of him until he becomes the son a man can be proud of or die trying.

In a pre-taped promo, Eddie Guerrero talks about his match against Magnum TA at Clash of Champions. He and Magnum have not crossed paths before. But, Eddie can see with how Magnum is dealing with Dusty Rhodes that he’s just now figuring out the virtues of lying, cheating and stealing. However, Magnum is a novice at it and Eddie is a master. He’ll give Magnum TA a master class in lying, cheating and stealing at Clash of Champion. Viva la raza.

Holly and Valkyrie have been friends and tag team partners for about a year now. Yeah, and where has that really gotten me, Valkyrie says as she walks off.
