Raven: It has begun... Your help was not requested and look what you've wrought on yourselves.

Charlie Haas: We didn't bring shit on ourselves, Taz just signed his death warrant. We showed him last week what happens when you step in the ring with the best... Now he'll find out what happens when you piss them off..

Raven: The thought is admirable.. I would applaud you if your effort wasn't folly. You've unleashed a monster and now it can not be stopped.

-[[ Haas looks even angrier, like he might hit Raven but then an idea dawns on him. ]]-

Charlie Haas: Listen up, I've got it... You think Taz is unstoppable, if that's true, he's going to beat Steve Corino and move on in the tournament.. I don't want that to happen. Rob Van Dam is the last chance The Dream Team has in the tournament and he's got you tonight.. The winner of your match gets Taz next week, providing he wins...

-[[ Raven knows where this is going, he doesn't like it. ]]-

Charlie Haas: Fighting Taz means nothing to you, you beat him last week... Me and Rob, we owe this son of a bitch the beating of a life time.. Tonight, you put Rob over and let us put Taz out of this tournament next week... And out of Solid Gold Wrestling once and for all.

-[[ Raven looks away, the idea is garbage. ]]-

Rob Van Dam: Hey, after I win the world title, you'll be the first person to get a title shot, bro.

Charlie Haas: Hold on just a minute!!

-[[ Rob smacks himself on the forehead. ]]-

Rob Van Dam: I forgot! My bad... You'll get the first shot after Charlie!!

-[[ Raven is now totally silent. ]]-

Charlie Haas: Knew you'd see things our way.. Don't screw this up.
