Mr. McMahon struts out to the ramp to make an announcement. Will it be our new GM? We don't know, because his mike doesn't work. A sound tech tries to toss Vinnie a new one, but he throws like a girl and it lands at Vince's feet. Vince picks up the microphone and throws it back to the hapless tech, demanding he "hand it to me like a man." Poor sound guy. I hope TNA is hiring.

Working microphone in hand, Vince tells us he's currently looking for a new general manager. It could be anyone: his daughter Stephanie, his son Shane, even me, copygodd. Okay, not really me, but only because I haven't applied yet. Until he makes his decision, though, Vince has appointed an interim manager. In his words, this person is "a business icon, a creative genius and one handsome virile son-of-a-bitch." Hey, it is me! I rock.

Actually, it's Vince. And his first order of interimming is to make five qualifying matches for the Elimination Chamber match at New Year's Revolution. The first of which is up next.

(1) Kurt Angle versus Ric Flair in an Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match McMahon says he won't censor the crowd's "You Suck" chants like Easy E did, so of course they're extra loud tonight. And there's no real talk of Flair's recent "Road Rage" incident either, other than a Joey Styles throwaway line. Odd. The King does mention that Flair looks better than the last time we saw him, but he's talking about the Last Man Standing match with HHH, not Flair's mug shot which was shown on the TitanTron last week. Coach says that at one time, Ric Flair was in Kurt Angle's league, but not anymore. Just like at one time, Coach was in Eric Bischoff's jock. Sadly, that time, too, has passed. The match itself is okay. The most surprising thing is that Angle out-sweats Flair. Does he have the flu or something? The least surprising is that Angle wins.

Winner: Kurt Angle.
