Chris Jericho started the show with a promo about defeating Triple H (
Paul Levesque) for the World Heavyweight Title and said he was going to defend the title in New Hampshire, then take it over to North Dakota, then to Wyoming, over to California, then back to Virginia, then alllllll the way to WrestleMania.....YEEAGGGHHHH!, imitating former Vermont Governor
Howard Dean's infamous yell a week earlier after coming in third in the New Hampshire primaries to
John Kerry and
John Edwards.
