Start of the show:
A tribute to the Big Bossman appears on the screen before we got Live to Raw.
Bischoff is in the ring and he talks up Taboo Tuesday. He says the idea of the fans making decisions is categorically wrong. It is not about his job because his job is not at risk. Eric goes on to bash the fans about how they are dumb and so on. Eric Bischoff says he is here to give the Raw fans their four choices as to who will face HHH at Taboo Tuesday. The first choice is HBK, the second choice is Chris Benoit, the third is Edge (fans boo). The fourth choice is obviously Randy Orton and he gets the biggest pop. However if Randy Orton wants on the ballot, he is going to have to win a no DQ match against Batista! If he does not win he will not get a chance to face HHH for the title.
This brings out HHH! H gets on the mic and asks Eric if the fans are going to decide his fate. The crowd pops. HHH seems to not like the idea. He says the idea is a load of crap! He says the people pay money to SEE him, to stand in the building in the middle of greatness. He says they don't get to touch it, talk to it, and they certainly don't get to decide the fate of it. He says he doesn't go to their jobs and tell them how it works. He mocks a few fans, saying one is a burger flipper and the other is a hooker.
HHH says he is going to give the fans a few choices. Choice number one, they can go screw themselves! He says it's a good choice cuz nobody is going to do it for them. Two, each of them can rot in hell. "Asshole" chants arise. He says they can TRY to get a life and...
Shelton Benjamin hits the ring!
HHH goes to talk to Shelton but he grabs the mic away. Shelton says HHH has a few choices as well. Choice number, quit your whining. Choice two, quit complaining. Choice three, quit crying because there are not enough tissues in Kansas to clean that nose! He goes on to choice number four and says that they need to get it on! Shelton approaches HHH but Eric comes in between them. HHH cheap shots Benjamin and Eric tells someone to get a ref as the match will start!

He goes on to say Hart is not a legend, hogan is not a legend, and Mick Foley is not a legend either! (he flops on the ground when he says this for added effect) He says there is only one legend, 16 times, 16 times baby, 16 times! He says until Randy Orton beats Ric Flair, he will never be a legend killer. This brings out Randy Orton!
Randy tells Flair he has no problem saying to his face that he is the greatest legend that this business has ever seen. He says you are Ric Flair! Orton plays him up a bit, he says Orton looked up to him. He said he was proud to stand by him when he was in Evolution. He says he learned a lot but he could have learned more. He says he does not think he could be a world title holder if it were not for Flair. He says "Ric Flair, you are the man!" Which is why it is so tragic to see what you've become! He says Flair comes out here every single week and says HHH is the greatest wrestler alive, Orton says it is not true, infact, he knows it, the fans know it, and deep down inside, Flair knows it too. Flair says Orton is trying to mix things up. Flair says HHH is really the best. Orton says Ric Flair is not a legend, he is a lapdog, a glorified cheerleader! He says when HHH says something, Flair does it, he's HHH's bitch. He says THIS generation will only remember Ric Flair for kissing HHH's ass. He says there is only one man who can save the legacy of the greatest wrestler ever and that person is Ric Flair! He says that a true legend takes crap from nobody. Orton drops the mic and walks away. Flair stands in the ring shocked as he is actually contemplating it.
