"End of Days" starts as Foley continues to stare with his arm raised. The crowd are obviously booing for the theme song of the Mancurian Jackal, as he appears from behind the curtain, jacket-clad with a trademark rose sticking out of the pocket. He stops at the top of the ramp and smirks at Mick Foley in the ring, who doesn't look all that amused.
He leans down and pops up, the jacket falling off the back of his shoulders and raises his arms up, pointing upwards. He begins strolling the down the ram rather nonchalantly, before reaching the ring. He stares up at Foley with a expression of contempt, before climbing the steps, walking across the apron and stepping inbetween the ropes. He walks past Foley, and gives the Hardcore Legend a sneer as Corino's theme song plays.
Jim Ross: This is going to be a classic tag match... I'm looking forward to this.
