Now Cole tells us that they'll call the SD matches, while JR and The King will call the Raw matches. Angle is out first, and has new tights AGAIN, which make him look like Your Olympic Candy Striper. Perhaps the new tights are to distract you from the fact that his pyro TOTALLY didn't work. D'OH! Rey's music plays, but there's no Rey. Angle's lookin' pissed and waits for Rey but Rey appears out of NOWHERE on the apron behind him!

Meanwhile, a backstage guy talks to Stephanie McMahon about how great the match was she tells him to tell Eric to try and top that match, then enters a room with "General Manager" on the door and finds Eric Bischoff waiting for her. "What the hell are you doing in my office?" "Stephanie McMahon, a pleasure to be sure." "Who's pleasure is it Eric it's certainly not mine." "Oh, it's always mine." Bish informs her that there's only one office tonight, so they should just share it. Steph agrees, saying she's like to see the look on Eric's face as SmackDown reigns supreme. Eric tells hr to take out a pen and take notes.

Meanwhile, Lawler welcomes us to the Raw portion of SmackDown. Attaboy, Jerry!

"We're not considered a pastime. Contract disputes don't determine the outcome of OUR season. Negotiations are handled a little differently in THIS arena. When two sides have a problem, it's taken care of face to face. World Wrestling Entertainment. Our Season NEVER Ends." Well, it's certainly obvious that the WWE thinks the players are gonna strike...

Meanwhile, The Coach is with The Un-Americans. Christian and Lance can't wait to expose Booker T and Goldust for the American shams they are. The only problem is, they have to do it here in Long Island. "What's wrong with that?" "We perform in cities all over this country, and this Long Island crowd, typifies American. They're lazy, they're unappreciative, unresponsive and spoiled." "And the sickening part about it is that they'll all be sitting on their hands while athletes like myself and Lance will be performing at a world class level. 'Cause just like greedy Americans, they're always wanting more. Well if they want more, we'll give them more more of the Un-Americans as WWE Tag Team Champions."

WWE Non-Sanctioned Match
TRIPLE H (Greenwich, CT no weight announced)
VS
SHAWN MICHAELS (Texas - no eight announced)

How can it be a "WWE Unsanctioned Match" if it's not sanctioned? Shouldn't it just be an unsanctioned match? Michaels comes out first, complete with confetti guns and an old costume over jeans and a T-shirt which says "Philippians 4:13" The King James Bible's Philippians 4:13 reads "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." The New International Version's Philippians 4:13 reads "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." I knew you were wondering, and now you know. As Triple H approaches, Michaels perches himself on the top rope and waits. The Game looks freshly shaven for this contest, by the way. Michaels approaches, throws his shirt at H, and starts pounding way!

Michaels with more rights, backs H into the corner, H with a kick to the gut, throws Michaels outside but Shawn is right back in spear!! Right, right, right, right, H shoves Michaels off.

WWF Live Ad - get your tickets now! NOW! RIGHT NOW!

JR continues to lambaste Triple H, and then shills Unforgiven. And now we're with The Fink. "Ladies and Gentlemen, before we present our championship match, I, Howard Finkel, have a few things that I would like to get off my chest. First of all, I'm very proud to say that this is the first PPV that I've announced in this arena since WrestleMania 2! Thankyou! It's a little something called commitment! And just so you know, Major League Baseball may be going on strike, but you WWE fans will always have The Fink!" We hear Trish's music, and there's Trish Stratus. She comes to the ring and gets a mic but before she starts, "Hold on, hold on honey! Hold on! Two weeks ago, you slapped me in the face! Last week, you pushed me into a pool of mud! Now just because you're in an arena of Long Island skanks, doesn't give you the right to think that you're hot stuff and interrupt me!" "I know I know, and Howard, I've been feeling very bad about the things I've done to you, and I hope you'll accept my apology. But y'know I gotta tell you I've been sitting there in the back listening to you all night, and I gotta tell you, I didn't realize until tonight what a sexy voice you have!" Fink likes this "To make it up to you, I have a little surprise." Trish removes her hat. Fink: "Oh wow, hey Trish, y'know we may have something here, because I'll tell you, it's certainly a dog-eat-dog world, isn't it? Especially when you've got the puppies, and I've got my wiener!" "Yes you do, Howie, but you know what, lets go slow, lets start off with a little hug or maybe a big hug, Howie." "Fine with me" The hug commences. I am SPELLBOUND!! "Wow, Trish I must tell you something, that certainly is a pleasant surprise to me, what's going on here." "Well, next I was thinking...actually Howard, the real surprise, is Lillian Garcia!" Sure enough, Lillian's behind The Fink and she's got some choice words for him....and a big slap which floors The Fink! Kick to the groin!!! Trish raises Lillian's hand, but she's STILL pissed. The girls leave, and JR and The King send it down to Michael Cole and Tazz, who will call the "SmackDown main event". Cole and Tazz say the talking is over and I agree. Let's get it on! But first, here's a big montage how these two got together.

WWE Undisputed Championship
THE ROCK (Miami, FL 275 pounds)
VS
BROCK LESNAR (Minneapolis, MN 295 pounds)

Brock comes out first because that's the way it's SUPPOSED to be Rock comes out, takes about three steps forward, lays down the belt, starts mimicking Brock's dance, much to Lesnar's delight. Then the Rock SPRINTS to the ring, Brock's punch is blocked, Rock with rights and we're ON!!

Crowd is really mixed! Tazz points out how great it is to have a choice. Rock rams Brock's head into the stairs three times in succession. Now Rock is taking apart the Spanish announcer's table. Rock turns around and catches an approaching Heyman who yells "OH SHIT!!!!" Heyman tries to talk his way out but it doesn't work head into the table!

Tazz: "Who in the HELL will be able to stop The Next Big Thing?" Lesnar is the youngest WWE Champion in history, the FASTEST champion in history, I think (did anybody ever beat five months?), and as Brock stares at his new belt, Michael Cole declares that The Next Big Thing has ARRIVED! HUGE WW Entertainment logo and THAT'S IT!!!

WELL. Except for Test losing, that pretty much rocked my world. As for the answer to Tazz's question, it's anybody's guess, but MY guess involves a certain Machine who is Big and Red. Who ELSE would it be??

Tune in tomorrow as The Brock Lesnar Era BEGINS!!
