Tag Team Partners Skarekro & Skavenger were seen distraught in their lockeroom. It was announced that while drafting opponents for the Opening Round, somehow Skarekro & Skavenger were selected to face each other in singles competition.
Skarekro asked Skavenger to willingly lose his match tonight so that he could advance in the tournament. Skavenger told Skarekro that it was not in the T.W.O.'s tradition for tag partners to lay down for each other.
Lazaroth had trouble getting his Dominion members to do it in 1999. Sinsyde had trouble getting the Hell's Faction to do it in 2001 & 2002. And Skavenger would not do it in 2003.
Skarekro said that was fine, but he would not hold anything back. Skarekro warned Skavenger not to take what happens in the ring tonight personally because it could be the worst beating of Skavenger's career.

Paramecium, the CEO of the T.W.O. and one of only 2 men to become Triple Crown Champion, announced that he would face Santino in the last of 8 Opening Round matches tonight.
Paramecium said that he admired Santino for taking this opportunity to show his stuff in competition for the World Title even though doctors had advised against it.
"When the night is over," Paramecium said, "you will have proven yourself to be daring and also stupid. Returning to action so soon after your last defeat, and against a competitor like myself, is career suicide."

Supply & Demand a.k.a. Arabian Pimpman and Crack-Edd cut an interview. Crack-Edd apologized for his loss earlier in the evening. Pimpman said their is nothing wrong with losing a match every now and then.
Pimpman said his match tonight will have more on the line anyway. Not only will his pride be on the line, but also a Chance to win a belt which has eluded him for the past 6 years.
Why is his pride on the line tonight? Because tonight he would be facing the man that took his former head hoe Sugar Kooky. Tonight Pimpman wouldn't be fighting his woman, because she didn't want him anymore. Instead he would be fighting for honor as he attempts to show her that leaving him was a mistake.
