MAD PROPS: I hear tell that the ubiquitous Larry Musso got his sign on camera again at another ECW TV show, sometime during the Anton/RVD crowd brawl during "Hardcore TV." (To find it in the WrestleManiacs "ECW Hardcore TV" report, simply look for the words "nothing to see here" written by an author who did NOT get his site plugged last Saturday.) Larry, once again you are the man...and thanks again for keepin' it real. Or something.

I'm thinking about going into the tape business. Would anybody buy from me? I promise that I'd AT LEAST have a faster turnaround time than Keith! (ha HA!) See, basically I'm BROKE, but I have this rather sizable tape library that I should be using as a resource. Right?? That, and I hear that I may need to start up a legal defense fund soon...

QUICK QUOTE: WWFE 21 55/64 (+ 7/64)

TONIGHT: The America West Arena is sold out - will we find out who ran down Steve Austin at the Survivor Series? I'm guessing not, but stick around - I *could* be wrong!

Opening credits, close captioned logo

And pyro! Everything's in place and we're back in prime time across the great 48 - broadcast on the USA Network and maybe on TSN, from the America West Arena in Phoenix, AZ, 11.9.2K - RAW - IS - WAR!

Who ran over Stone Cold? Strangely enough, we start with the music that begins with the sound of a crashing car - COMMISSIONER McFOLEY is out! Tonight: Kurt Angle takes on T&A in a handicap match, the Hardyz against the Dudleyz for a tag title shot, Lita vs. Ivory for the Women's strap, and Blackman jobs to X-Pac - or will he? "Thank you very much, but I feel almost as if I should be out here issuing an apology for coming out here as simple, plain, ordinary Commissioner Mick Foley...I mean, considering the rugged terrain and the indigenous plant life right here in Phoenix, Arizona (thumbs up)...maybe, just maybe I should have come back as Commissioner Cactus Jack! But as, as much as I'd like to get a cheap pop by simply going 'Bangbang!' there is someone else's return that overshadows even that of Cactus Jack, and I'm talking about Stone Cold Steve Austin. No, Stone Cold was on SmackDown! Thursday night saying he was going to show up at Unforgiven and question each and every WWF superstar until he found out who ran him over last November. Now, as much as I look forward to seeing Stone Cold interrogate an entire locker room, I'm here to say it doesn't have to happen at Unforgiven - no, Austin is not here tonight [boo!] - I'm talking about Mick Foley making his own formal interrogation. You see, the way I see it, if any of the WWF superstars wants to come forward and admit their wrongdoing last November, it'd be a lot easier facing calm, cool, collected Commissioner Foley than that Unforgiving Rattlesnake Stone Cold Steve Austin. Now it's real simple, Stone Cold's waived all criminal proceedings, so nobody's going to be criminally negligent - I'm not saying there's not going to be any repercussions, but what I am saying is if anybody has the guts to come forward, then we'll settle matters right here in Phoenix, Arizona! So, whoever the culprit was, come out come out wherever you are! C'mon, we're not gonna wait all night. Anybody, if you've got the guts, come on out here and face the music." Who ran over Stone Cold? IF YA SMELLLLLL is out. Foley looks shocked. Ross is ready to have a heart attack - surely this beloved figure couldn't have been the man to perpetrate such a henious act? "I don't wanna believe it!" Crowd doesn't care - they still get to chant "Rock E!" "You?! It was you? You come out here, you walk down the People's Ramp to say that it was you all along? To say that you ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin? I say, you've got some audacity, putting out the Rattlesnake, you cold-hearted, callous s-" Hand up, silence from Foley. Rock ready to speak. No, wait for the chant. "Rock E!" "The Rock admits it -" "You admit to running over Stone Cold St--" "The Rock admits that this is the biggest halfass criminal investigation the Rock has ever seen!" "So Rock, what you're saying is you didn't run over Stone Cold Steve Austin, did you?" "Not only is the Rock saying no, but considering that it's Stone Cold Steve Austin, the Rock says oh, hell no! You see, the Rock gave his word to the cops that he didn't do it, the Rock gave his word to the People that he didn't do it, the Rock gave his word to Stone Cold himelf that he didn't do it. And it doesn't matter whether or not the charges are dropped, it doesn't matter what's dropped, it doesn't matter if Austin's name is dropped, if your pants are dropped, the only thing that matters is that Austin go to Unforgiven, find that son of a (bleep) that ran him over, and deal with him the only way he knows how, and that's Stone Cold Steve Austin style!" "I hear what you're saying, but looking at these first few rows, I definitely say that it DOES matter if my pants get dropped, but if you're not out here because of Austin, then why ARE you out here, Rock?" "Rock E!" "What are you, the Rock's mother? Well the Rock just has to come out here and explain why he's out here to you, but he will, seeing as you're the Commissioner, the Rock is out here for one reason and one reason only, and that's...payback. And what the Rock is talking about is last Thursday night on SmackDown!, on the Rock's show, the Rock still walked out WWF Champion, but Kane chokeslammed the Rock through the table. Now whether it's one chokeslam, two three four five, it doesn't matter to the Rock, it's how he did it. You see, Kane, the Rock understands that you've had a hard life growing up, a rough childhood. When you were a little kid, all little kids would come to your house, 'Kane, Kane, come out and play,' what'd you do, you'd come out, 'well, I'd like to play with you but the - but the rage of fire is consuming my soul, and' ahhhh shut your mouth, you little punk!" This isn't a MILLIONTH as funny as Squeaky Lawler thinks it is. "You see, Kane, the Rock could care less whether or not it's your body's on fire, your face is on fire, liar, liar, your (bleep) are on fire, the only - the only thing that matters to the Rock is that you bring your candyass to Unforgiven, you are the #1 Contender, and you just bring it, bring it, bring it to Unforgiven so the Rock can layeth the smacketh down on your big red candy ass!" This brings out CHRIS BENOIT, who probably has some issues with that #1 Contender thing the Rock just snuck in there. "Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa who whoa. Hold it right there! Mick Foley, I KNOW you're not stupid enough to let something like this happen - PLEASE - the Rock and Kane? One on one for the WWF title? I don't think so!" "Ass Hole!" "The last time I checked, the WWF stands for World WRESTLING Federation. And not only am I the best damn WRESTLER in the company, I'm the best damn wrestler in the entire industry, period! I've already beaten this joke of a champion once, if ANYONE deserves a title shot...it's me." "Okay, Benoit, I understand what you're saying. What you're saying is you think you oughta be the #1 Contender and not Kane." "Prove me wrong." "Well, I tell you what I'm going to do - he brings up a good point - I'm gonna go back to my Commissioner's table--" WELL IT'S KANE makes his entrance at this point - and points to Benoit - and points to Foley - and real quicklike, "American Badass" plays and THE GHOST RIDER - ERR, WALKER walks out. And HE has a mic. "Now since everybody's talkin' about #1 Contenders, let's don't forget about the ol' Dead Man." Undertaker starts down the aisle and Kane meets him - they start brawling as, inside the ring, Benoit hits the ring and he and *Rock* start brawling.

Hey, *I'll* tell ya who ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin. Now, if you don't wanna know, just skip this sentence and head over to the next paragraph, okay? Don't get on MY case when I spoil it for you - I'm giving you EVERY opportunity to pull out without knowing. Okay? It was............... Savio Vega

Moments Ago, Foley took a shot from Kane. Whew! I was SO worried we wouldn't get this replay - good ol' WWF!

MICHAEL KING COLE asks Foley if he's okay. Foley says he *is* okay...and by the end of the night, he'll name the #1 Contender! Also, if those four guys want a piece of each other - he'll book 'em tonight (in Phoenix, Arizona!) in a tag match - Benoit and Kane against Undertaker and Rock

THOSE DAMN DUDLEYZ v. HARDY BOYZ for a tag team title shot at Unforgiven - I feel like we've seen this match a MILLION times this year - am I close? Before the match begins, our commentary team is joined by EDGE & CHRISTIAN. Dudleyz take advantage of a distracted Hardy team by striking first, and it's on. Buh-Buh Ray tosses Jeff, while Matt dumps D-Von. Now we're down to one on one - Buh-Buh Ray with a clothesline for Matt. On the outside, Jeff hits the barrier run clothesline. Apparently, referee "Blind" Tim White has managed to put Buh-Buh Ray on the outside, because Jeff rolls D-Von into the ring for a bodyslam. Matt going up top - second rope legdrop hits - 1, 2, no. RC Edge provides the Double Feature of the barricade run by Jeff Hardy, who's getting tagged in over on the live frame. D-Von put in the ropes, Poetry in Motion, right, right, D-Von ducks a clothesline and tries to catch him in the reverse DDT, but Hardy wrestles out of THAT, punches away, ready to try for a suplex, but D-Von slips THAT and ends up hitting the big ol' reverse DDT anyway. Tag to Buh-Buh Ray, tag to Matt - Dudley with a clothesline. Crowd wants the table - too bad they don't want *wrestling* - into the ropes, big sidewalk slam gets 2. Jeff in - full nelson atomic drop, D-Von in to help out with a double neckbreaker on Matt - leg is hooked, but Jeff dropkicks Buh-Buh Ray in the back of the head at 2. D-Von whips Jeff, reversed, clothesline takes him out. Jeff runs the ropes - somersault plancha onto D-Von! Christian: "That was quite a spill - I better see if these guys are all right!" Edge: "Time for an ECRI." If you can't figure out that's "Edge Christian Run-In," well, I just told ya. That'll answer the "outside interference or ref bump?" question, too. Meanwhile, in the ring Buh-Buh Ray tries a second rope senton (!), but misses. Matt to the top rope - but Edge waffles him with a title, sending him backwards - STILL, he lands on Buh-Buh Ray on the way down, and somehow they end up in a pinning predicament. White duly turns back round to count 1, 2, 3. Hardyz get the shot. (2:18) What, are we running late ALREADY? Edge & Christian immediately start giving lumps to the Hardyz...until the Dudleyz come in - Edge gets a quick waffle, while Christian gets "wassup." It's time for Buh-Buh Ray to ask D-Von to please get the table. Ross predicts that this is gonna reek of tabletude...Edge takes 3D (Dudley Death Drop) through the table, which doesn't break - rather, it slowly lowers to the mat as the leg collapses. Replay shows the comatose Matt Hardy landing on a comatose Buh-Buh Ray for the pin. Just ignore the Dudleyz music being played here. Women's title on the line...NEXT!

Chyna shills Stacker 2 - WHERE WAS EDDIE?

Obsolete Fall Brawl ad in the local slot

WWF WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP - LITA v. IVORY - Champ enters first because tradition takes a holiday. So, Lita's music is semi-public, eh? I just heard it on "20/20 Downtown." I guess Johnston was sick that day or something. Hey, CHARLES BARKLEY in the front row! If you saw Heat last night, you're one up on me - I'll get to that tape when I'm dead. Ivory comes out, pulls her trunks down far enough to look like Lita, makes the "guns to the head" pose, then flips off the crowd. Ivory's pretty cool. ESPECIALLY since that damn scarf seems to have been left behind. Lita ducks, drop top hold. Into the corner, *amazingly* bad "flying" clothesline. Snapmares her over, dropkick in the back, hooks the leg, 1, 2, nope. Into the ropes, but Ivory holds on to reverse - there's a sidewalk slam for 2. Clubbing blow in the back of the head, stomp, stomp, got her up across her back - wow, overhead into the falcon arrow! Leg is hooked - but only 2. Ivory has words with referee "Blind" Chad Patton while Lita gets up - Ivory

At the Commissioner's office, Kurt Angle checks on Foley's health. "Kurt, I appreciate your insincerity, I'm a little banged up but to tell you the truth I think I'm doing better here tonight than you were last week." Mankind reminds Angle that Triple H was kicking his butt around on SmackDown!, and Angle says that that's why he's here. Angle promises to defeat T&A - something Triple H couldn't do last week - but he asks why Triple H has the night off, going unpunished after his attack Thursday. Mick says he'll make Angle a deal - he'll book Triple H against "a suitable opponent" if he'll stop talking. The deal thus struck, Foley has the forklift driver take him away...

Your hosts are a pair of kings - LARRY KING & JERRY LAWLER. Talk turns to the rapidly degrading relationship between Chyna and Eddie Guerrero. Either I can't shock those of you still reading me anymore, or you all agree with me when I said "bitch got what she deserved." At SmackDown!, Chyna came through in the end, reversing a cradle to score the pin for Guerrero over Road Dogg. Post-match, Eddie let Dogg have it - again and again.

Earlier Today, the unblinking eye of the WWF camera caught Chyna in her dressing room...and Eddie repeatedly knocking. "C'mon baby, you gotta talk to me sometime - you can't be angry forever." "I'm fine, Eddie..." and she shoves him away. "Okay, what happened last week won't happen again ever, I promise." "Yeah, it won't!" shove. "Okay, Mami - Wait wait before you push me out, listen to me, okay? Look, I was wrong, okay? Really, I was. I'm sorry. Mami, you just gotta realise something, okay, I know I lost all control - and I'm SO sorry - it's just - losing you, I mean, I had the belt gettin' in between us, I was losing you, you were losing - you were looking over there, I mean I was losing sight of you, and to -to me, losing you is losing my whole world." "I know, Eddie, but you have to learn to control your temper." "Yes. I realise that, I realise that, you're right. Chyna, just...baby, I love you. I mean, you're everything to me. I love you more than life itself - I love you more than myself, more than anything in my life. And more than I want a partner in the ring, I want a partner in life. Baby, it's you, Mami - you're my partner in life. I want you forever. God, I - that's a side of me I wish you would never seen, and unfortunately it happened, and all I can do is just...forgive, just forgiveness, baby, I'm so sorry, I just don't wanna lose you..." "Eddie, I already forgave you." "(sigh) Thank you. Thank you. Look, why don't you say we celebrate, okay? Come on - come on, Mami! Let's go dance, okay? Let's go dance and kick some ass! Yeah?" "All right - who? Who're we gonna beat up?" "Let's beat up Too Cool! Yeah! Come on! What are you waitin' for? C'mon, let's go!" "But they're our friends, though - Too Cool." "Oh, come on, Mami, exactly, they're our friends, they're good sportsmen, you know. It's all - Who cares about winning or losing? As long as we all dance afterwards, we're gonna have a great - c'mon baby, trust me." "Okay..." Eddie takes off and Chyna bites her lip dramatically...

TOO COOL (with RAW is WAR is brought to you by Burger King, Castrol Motor Oily, and Chef Boyardee Overstuffed Ravioli!) v. EDDIE GUERRERO & THAT SLUT CHYNA - Chyna gives each of her opponents a high five - Eddie chooses to attack them before the bell, instead. Stomp, stomp for Sexay, stomp for Hotty, tossed through the ropes, whip for Sexay into the ropes, clothesline. Scoop...and a slam. Grinding the foot into the face. In the corner, right, right, right, right, right, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, words for referee "Blind" Mike Chioda. "Eddy Sux" chant. Big right hand by Guerrero, who works some facial reaction to the chant. Whip into the corner, but Sexay puts up the foot. On the second rope, bit of dancing, missile dropkick. Tag to Hotty - patty cake patty cake, make a wish! Hotty off the ropes with the elbowdrop. Right, right, right, right, big of a flip flop and right butts Eddie on his keister. Eddie goes to the face on his way back up - Hotty's head to the turnbuckle, Eddie with a right, right, into the opposite corner is reversed, Eddie tries to put up the feet, but Hotty slides under and goes outside, grabs the ankles and drops him. Hotty to the top rope...crossbody gets 2. Right, Eddie with a right, right, right, right, into the ropes, reversed, Eddie hooks the clothesline attempt and hits a European uppercut.

In the dressing room, Triple H wonders aloud if everybody's gone nuts. He has a dire prediction for Angle in his "copycat" match. He also thinks it's crap that Foley's booking him tonight. He doesn't trust Foley and thinks there's more to this mystery opponent than meets the eye, so tonight...Stephanie's directed to stay in the back. "Later, you'll get to see me in action up close, okay? But for now, you just stay back here. All right? I'm serious."

'nother Fall Brawl local ad

Moments Ago, Eddie Guerrero stopped a perfectly good dancing spot with some wafflery - as did Chyna...on Rikishi

During the Break, Grand Master Sexay made merry mit der rot food colourin' (like David Hasselhoff, I am big in Germany)

THE NEW MAN (by his damn self) v. ? - hey, won't be Gillberg, will it? Before the second entrance, we look backstage where Chyna reveals to Eddie Guerrero that she'll be on the cover of Playboy - and not just for an interview - somehow, Eddie's been living in a cave for the past few months and only now becomes aware of this. And for an encore....he doesn't take it too well. "Nude pictures my butt!" He vows to go beat up Hugh Hefner himself. "Stop the presses, baby!" Lawler promptly raises his voice five octaves and "yahoos" away. So who's the mystery opponent? The Y2J countdown greets us - it's CHRIS MONDAY JERICHO! "Welcome to RAW is JERICHO! And Triple H, I was quite surprised (RAW Credits here) when I found out I was wrestling you tonight, but...hell, you're no (TV-14-DLV) stranger to surprises, I mean it must have been a huge surprise for you when you saw Kurt Angle plant a big, juicy, wet...'friendship' kiss on your wife Stephanie! And it must have been an even bigger surprise when not only did she complain about it, but...she actually looked like she enjoyed it! But I really don't care if Stephanie enjoyes kissing Kurt Angle, or if Kurt Angle enjoys kissing Stephanie, or, hell, if Kurt Angle enjoys kissing Triple H...because as far as I'm concerned, all three of you can kiss my ass!" So that makes Triple H a...and Jericho's the....oh my, how confusing! 59.50Lockup, to the corner, tussling about, to an adjacent corner, looks like Triple H is on top of this scuffle. Referee "Blind" Tim White doing his darnedest to separate them but it ain't workin'. Jericho turns it around - STILL they clench. Finally, White puts some space between them - shove by H,

Courtesy: 2000 MTV Video Music Awards - aka, "the crappiest VMA's EVAH" - the Rock was there. Chyna was there, too - wearing an outfit she probably stole from Geri Halliwell - hell, SHE don't need it anymore, right? I should point out that Eddie Guerrero was NOT there. You know what was cool? Mankind's pre-show segment

WALL BUCHANAN & GOODFATHER (with Let Us Take You Back) v. ACOLYTES. Let Us Take You Back to Last Week where Val Venis and Steven Richards disappeared from our collective radar...in a white van, yet! Pier Four Brawl to start - referee "Blind" Teddy Long manages to separate Faarooq and Buchanan, leaving Bradshaw and Goodfather to whip, reverse it up in the ring. Goodfather with a clothseline. Bradshaw with a kick, chop, back elbow off the ropes, "save the ho's," and as Godfather springs out of the corner with a clothesline, BALD VENIS appears at the top of the ramp with chair in hand...despite being clad in his white boots and trunks, I still smell *shocking swerve*, but keep it under your hat. Bradshaw with a death suplex...and a tag. Right, right, into the ropes, Goodfather holds on and reverses - kick, forearm, tag to Buchanan. Right, right, right, into the opposite corner is reverse, Buchanan pops out with a clothesline. Into the ropes, reversed, Faarooq with a powerslam...for 2. Head to the buckle, tag, into the ropes, double shoulderblock, elbowdrop by Bradshaw for 2. Into the ropes, head down, Buchanan with a swinging (sorta) neckbreaker, and his patented "what agility" clothesline. All this time Venis has been slowly ambling down the ramp to ringside. Whip into the corner, but Bradshaw comes out with a shoulderblock. Both men are down, and both partners are looking for a tag - Faarooq gets it, though. Clothesline by Faarooq. Into the ropes, powerslam, clothesline for Goodfather as HE comes in, Faarooq ducks a Buchanan clothesline and hits a spinebuster...but Goodfather breaks it up with a stomp. Bradshaw in now and on Buchanan - right, right, Goodfather slips the clothesline and dumps him to the outside. Back to Faarooq and Buchanan - it's Faarooq trying a gutwrench, but Goodfather gets a blindside kick in and he goes down. 1, 2, 3. (2:36) Well, I'll be jiggered; an actual CLEAN PIN (sorta - no outside interference or ref bump, anyway) this Monday night. Post-match, the Acolytes attempt to secure a measure of revenge - but Venis comes in, and..and...chairs both Acolytes. STEVEN RICHARDS appears, smiling broadly.

Another Fall Brawl promo - NO SCRIPT!! THEY MEAN IT!!

WWF EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP: AL SNOW (mit Kopf) v. TAZZZZZ - well, dammit, Snow went and stole my joke - he's out in full Deutsch mode wearing lederhosen, carrying a string of sausages, wearing a funny hat - as is Head - and *carrying a picture of David Hasselhoff.* Snow comes out to a polka riff, complete with a German approximation of his lyrics "Was jeder man wollen? KOPF! Was jeder man brauchen? KOPF! Was jeder man lieber? KOPF! Ja! KOPF!" I think that's probably "helf mich" reversed in there, too. For the slower amongst us, the TitanTron helpfully displays a picture of Germany (labeled "GERMANY") along with a picture of Snow waving a German flag, alternating with a "KOPF (HEAD)" graphic. Snow kinda looks like Kenny Mayne in that one SportsCenter ad, you know? The mood's about to change, though - for some reason, I don't think this guy is all into the jokes. Let Us Take You Back to SmackDown! where the King did a bit of work mit einer leder strap von den throat. Geez, I haven't used this much German since high school... Tazz gets first shot, clubbing Snow with forearms as he removes his festive outerwear. T-bone Tazzplex, stomp, Snow blocks the next Tazzplex and suplexes him down. Stomp, stomp, right, into the ropes is reersed, Snow slides to stop it, they meet in the center, and Snow takes him down with a choke into a powerbomb. Commentators are partisan. Snow's moonsault meets the knees. Tazzmission! Snow walks up the turnbuckles and pushes backwards - Outside interference or ref bump? Referee "Blind" Jim Korderas is the unfortunate recipient of the collision. Tazz tosses Snow outside...and over the commentary table into the laps of our commentary team! Amazingly, Tazz does NOT get tangled in any cords while outside. Back in the ring now, but the crowd chants "Jerry." Tazz waiting for Snow to get up so he can put in the Tazzmission again, but unfortunately his back is to Lawler - who has made his way up to the apron. King breaks the Hasselhoff photo over Tazz' head. Snow with an inside cradle - Korderas back to life - 1, 2, 3! (1:28) Play the Snow polka once again! Tazz has THE STICK: "King - that's it. No more! I lose - you win. Ya see, week after week you cost me a match. Well, you know what? I'm not playin' games no more. You see, I can't compete with your political power in this company. Ya see, I'm the guy that nobody wanted here anyway - I'm the outsider, right? Well, I'll tell you what - the outsider - the outsider just tapped out. And...Tazz becomes Just Another Victim to the World Wrestling Federation." And with that, Tazz...goes home. Lawler: "Goodbye and good riddance, that's all I got to say about THAT jerk!" Man, I hope Tazz brings back PUBLIC ENEMY with him!

KING KURT ANGLE v. T&A (with Trish Stratus - the fitness model) in a Handicap match - "First of

It's WWF Live! at the San Jose Arena Saturday 7 October! Somehow, I think Big Show WON'T be there...

Fall Brawl takes the other local slot

Moments Ago, Stephanie took a back elbow from Triple H and an apron collison from Kurt Angle - man, it sure looks like she landed RIGHT on the small of her back on the apron there - I think she was hooked in the ropes on her way down or something. Later, Kurt Angle got in the last shot - unfortunately, Triple H was carrying Stephanie at the time.

Coming back to real time, Triple H puts some ice on Stephanie's head. "You guys have to stop fighting like this. Mick Foley comes in and announces that this has gotten out of hand - so he'll book a match with H and Angle for Unforgiven - and to make sure there is a winner, HE'LL ref it himself.

WWF HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP: STEVE BLACKMAN (with Riggs & Murtaugh) v. X-PAC NEVER JOBS IN SINGLES MATCHES - EXCEPT OCCASIONALLY TO STEVE BLACKMAN - Let Us Take You Back to Earlier Tonight where X-Pac made his presence felt. This just in: main event will be "no DQ." Lockup, side headlock by X-Pac, to the ropes, powering out, Blackman knocks him down. Off the ropes, X-Pac leapfrog, Blackman's enzuigiri is ducked, X-Pac's kick is ducked, Blackman's dropkick hits. Outside we go. Big forearm by Blackman - dropping him across the barricade - tossed back in. Blackman looking for props - here's a garbage can and lid. X-Pac

Chris Benoit gives Kane a pep talk. "You know Kane, no matter how you look at it, tonight, you and I have to function as a team - a tag team. Regardless of who becomes #1 Contender, tonight is aboot you and I working together. Hey, I understand you don't play well with others. Maybe that started at an early age. Maybe you weren't the most well-liked on the playground, maybe your report card read 'does not get along with others,' maybe you were the last one picked at kickball - but that doesn't matter, 'cause tonight is aboot the Rock and Undertaker - and us tearing them apart. Understand?" Benoit turns to leave, but Kane spins him back around. "Benoit - I was NEVER picked last." "What?" "In kickball. I was NEVER picked last!" Kane walks off while Benoit makes the "man, that guy IS a retard" face.

Moments Ago, Jericho denied X-Pac the Hardcore championship through use of the kendo stick

During the Break, X-Pac tried to gain a measure of revenge by taking the 'chuks to Jericho in mid-autorgraph signing

Rock meets up with Undertaker. "Undertaker!" "What's up?" "Last time you and the Rock were tag team partners, the Rock took a double chairshot to the head. If it's gonna happen like that again, the Rock would just as soon as go out by himself. Now we're not friends; we probably never ever will be friends. so you tell the Rock - tonight - how's it gonna be?" "(spit) Lemme tell ya how it's gonna be - you right - we ain't friends. But I'll be there for ya - and when Foley, he announces the #1 Contender - (taps title) - I'm gonna be there for you THEN, too."

Yep, that was our nothin' segment.

And now, the WWF Boot of the Week, brought to you by LUGZ! Aight? From SmackDown! last Thursday, Kane chokeslammed Rock through the announce table. Good week for the Rock last week, wasn't it?

WELL IT'S KANE (with a shot of a bleeding Jericho backstage - guess they forgot to cue it up last segment) and CHRIS BENOIT (with RC Edge presents Unforgiven LIVE - in just under two weeks!) v. COMMISSIONER McFOLEY? But...but those steps have magically levitated over to the barricade and stood on end! We've GOT to have an Undertaker lap! Foley takes third headset and says he just wants to be close to the action - he HASN'T made a decision on the #1 Contender yet, but hopefully by scouting out this match, he'll be able to make that decision.

WELL IT'S KANE and CHRIS BENOIT v. HEY HEY HEY HEY (on his Beautiful Titan Bike)
