Dustin Starr interviews Danny Limelight at the announce table. Limelight says it feels great to be in Memphis, then says he is here for "The GunShow" Brett Michaels, who shows up. Limelight says the fans are chanting for Brett for a reason, and while Brett is the champion here, he is the champ everywhere else. Brett says Limelight might be the man, but this is his house. Suddenly, The Posse (Simon and Mr. Chris) show up, and Limelight and Brett lay their championships on the announce desk before brawling with The Posse around the ring.
