Intro. I think the beginning got cut off because of an before it, but what do you care?

Tazz (w/face pop?) & Raven & Saturn (w/Terri) vs Crash & Too Cool - I don't think Tazz is supposed to be getting that reaction. But this Jakked, so they give face pops to anyone, because they want the show to start. Tazz and Raven are in the Table Invitational. The fans have started to catch on to the new Too Cool music, realizing who it is before they come out. Your announcers are Michael Hayes and Jonathon Coachman. Hayes said that he thought Rikishi had a point - till his actions this week. Grand Master Sexay and Raven start, headlock, off the ropes, shoulderblock, GMS dances, off the ropes, slide under Raven, kick caught, enzuiguri. Hayes calls it, good of him. I think I might have spelt it right this week, good for me. Whip, reversed, GMS holds on, dances, Raven watches, GMS ducks a punch from Saturn and hits one of his own, but gets kicked by Raven. Corner whip, Saturn in while Terri distracts the ref. Saturn and Raven do a corner whip, reversed thing that leaves Raven charging in - to a boot from Sexay. Saturn gets a missile dropkick too. Tag to Hotty, double whip, double shoulderblock, double Rocker Launcher with Crash. I love triple team moves. Too Cool with punches for Tazz and Raven on the apron, Scotty and Sexay dance - Crash dances too! Too Cool get annoyed at the bad dancing. By Crash. Sexay and Crash go back to the apron, but Scotty's paying attention to them, and not Saturn and Raven hitting their Total Elimination variation (Saturn low kick, Raven with a clothesline) Raven with a corner whip, clothesline and holds on to land a bulldog, or "DDT" if you are Coachman. Hayes says the heel are an interesting trio. Tag to Tazz, whip, clothesline. Stomp, punch. kick, kick, Scotty takes over in the corner. but Tazz with an eye poke. Tazz tags out to Saturn. Saturn with punches in the corner. Corner whip, charge into a boot , long shot of Terri, Saturn's got control back, pumphandle overhead suplex for Perry. Saturn going up to the top rope, but taking his time, crowd shot, now he's up, now he's crotched by Sexay him. Tazz trips Sexay off the apron, while Crash managed to crotch Raven on the top rope some how. It all turns out with Scotty getting the tag to Crash, and he goes after Raven. Raven whipped into Saturn, and both stagger backwards (awkwardly.). Holly uses Raven as battering ram into Saturn, then isn't sure what he's supposed to do next, then bounces off the ropes and is tripped up by Saturn. Things get a little screwy for the next few moments, but end up with Crash coming off the top rope to hit a cross body on Saturn (but doesn't cover.) Saturn rolls out, and meanwhile, Scotty hits the bulldog on Raven - W O R M. Tazz and Saturn ambush the faces (Crash and Sexay just standing around watching Scotty), and with Tazz and Too Cool ending up on the outside of the ring. Crash gets a big ol' superkick from Saturn. Saturn with a whip, Crash falls behind, cradle, but Raven's recovered now - (Evenflow) DDT . Saturn, after a little struggle, gets the rings of Saturn on Crash while Tazz and Raven hold off Too Cool, and that's it. (4:52) Did Raven just win a match? Wow, that's HISTORIC. Both men were legal, too. I made it this far without saying "Flock", good for me. I'd rather have Kaynon doing Tazz than Tazz doing Tazz, if you cared.

WWF Heat ad, last week with Mick, this week Angle and Steph, live from the site of No Mercy. Angle's not winning the title, by the way.

Still to come, more on Angle and Rock, plus Steve Blackman, but next, Steve Austin will finnaly get his hands on Rikishi tomorrow night!

Presto presents No Mercy. But not this video package, on how Angle and Rock get to tomorrow night's big match. Who put this techno music here?

In case you forget, not only will Rock and Angle fight, but so will Triple H and Chris Benoit and Rikishi and Steve Austin.

Still to come, Just Joe is on Jakked. But next, Triple H and Chris Benoit are beating each other up for no good reason.

I'm thinking, even if I take the Chyna challenge and follow her work out video, I won't look like her. Maybe that's because I'm a guy, I dunno.

The Lugz Boot of the Week is Triple H jumping over the table to get to Chris Benoit, and Chris Benoit giving him a chair and a Crossface.

Tomorrow night, they're fighting. You may not have heard that tonight. Back to Smackdown, and the closing minutes of that match.

Hayes to Dean: "I dare you to smile!"
