Get that Light Heavyweight title of Gillberg.

I was a big fan of this era and I can't wait to see how you book it. And I gotta admit, the roster titantron link is a nice touch.

- 21:00-21:02[/color] - A video package airs, recapping us from last night's WWF No Mercy pay-per-view, featuring "Stone Cold" Steve Austin challenging for the WWF Championship, as "The Game" Triple H managed to successfully retain. In other happenings, The Rock defeated British Bulldog, and returned later on for an in-ring segment, only to then be assaulted by Triple H and a sledgehammer.

- 21:02-21:03 - The opening RAW video package airs, as it involves numerous WWF superstars. We then cut to the live arena, as pyrotechnics go off, and the audience are going insane for action from the World Wrestling Federation! Jim Ross and Jerry "King" Lawler introduce us to the show and review happenings from last night's No Mercy event, noting alot on the Terri Invitational Tournament [T.I.T] finale, with the Brood, Jeff and Matt Hardy beating Edge and Christian in an amazing ladder match.

- 21:03-21:12[/color] - "My Time" played throughout the arena, as the audience immediately began to boo Triple H, as the WWF Champion then made his way out to the arena, no Chyna in sight, as Triple H had a big grin on his face, just pleased to have retained the WWF Championship from "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Triple H climbed into the ring, as the audience were still booing extremely loudly. Triple H says that he has knocked off a victory over "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, the biggest icon in the World Wrestling Federation in the era of Attitude! Triple H brags more, saying that he is standing here today, twenty-four hours following his defense of the WWF Championship against Steve Austin! Triple H laughs, saying that he did what nobody thought he could do, he went ahead and proved everybody wrong, last night in Cleveland. Hunter tells us that he wants to be a fighting champion, a dominant champion, and despite Vince McMahon, The Rock, Steve Austin and everybody that has ever attempted to hold 'The Game' down, they have failed! The theme of The Rock then played throughout the arena, as the crowd popped amazingly loud for the man of 'the people'. Rock parodies Triple H, with a joke accent, saying that he's going to have a party in the back, with Chyna, a woman that is stronger than Triple H! Rock asks the WWF Champion why he's so dominant and fighting when all he does is throw sledgehammers around! Triple H then changes subject, talking about how Rock has to defend the WWF Tag Team Championships tonight! Rock ignores the subject change, telling us that that is none of Hunter's gay, little business. Rock tells Trips that he can go hang around with the love for larger, muscular women, but Rock is motivated and wants the WWF Championship! Triple H declines the challenge to a super loud chorus of boos! Vince McMahon's theme then played, as Vince came out and told us that Triple H cannot decline the challenge if he wants to be a 'fighting champion'. Vince McMahon forces Triple H to put the WWF Championship on the line against The Rock for Survivor Series! The crowd pops as Triple H looks pissed!

- 21:12-21:16[/color] - Commercial break.

- 21:16-21:21[/color] - Match #1: X-Pac and Kane defeated Prince Albert and Big Bossman[/color] Jimmy Korderas was the official for this contest. This was a short match-up here, as it featured the 'Big Red Machine' team with X-Pac to battle Big Bossman and one of his recent recruits, Prince Albert. Albert and X-Pac started, as X-Pac managed to keep on top of Albert, Albert eventually getting the best of X-Pac. Big Bossman was in, as he accidentally let X-Pac escape to Kane, as the 'Big Red Machine' stormed into the ring! Kane took out both Big Bossman AND Prince Albert, as he eliminated Prince Albert from the equation with a big boot to the jaw! Kane then wrapped it up with a Chokeslam to Big Bossman, but X-Pac got the blind tag, as he came in and covered Bossman for the win! **[/color]

- 21:21-21:22[/color] - X-Pac begins to celebrate, as Prince Albert assisted Big Bossman out of the ring, Kane seemed a bit lost over what X-Pac was doing. This lead back to No Mercy last night, when X-Pac got Kane eliminated from the four-corner elimination match, then winning it for himself.

- 21:22-21:23[/color] - We go to the backstage area, as Michael Cole was standing by with the Acolytes, Bradshaw and Faarooq, as he asked the fearsome duo what their intentions are, now that they fell to X-Pac and Kane last night at No Mercy. Faarooq tells Cole to shut up, shooing Cole away, as Bradshaw talks about the WWF Tag Team Championships. Bradshaw yells, saying that their intentions are to shoot for opportunity and take out the Rock 'n' Sock Connection tonight, despite being in the match against them for the titles!?

- 21:23-21:23[/color] - A graphic hypes up the main event, as it will be The Rock 'n' Sock Connection defending the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Brood, Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy! But up next, it's time for some hos, as The Godfather will be meeting Mideon in a rematch from No Mercy, under hardcore rules!

- 21:23-21:27[/color] - Commercial break.

- 21:27-21:34[/color] - Match #2: The Godfather with Hos defeated Mideon with Viscera in a hardcore match[/color] Teddy Long was the official for this contest. This was not a good match at all, as it contested The Godfather battle Mideon, in a match which was also contested the previous night at No Mercy. That was a mess aswell, but to a certain extent, this was somewhat better from the night before. The hos were all around ringside tonight, as Viscera seemed to scare them off three or four times. It involved several trash cans being used, as well as a stop sign aswell. Viscera then came into the ring, slamming a stop sign over Godfather's head! D'Lo Brown then rushed down the rampway, a chair in hand, as he slammed it over Viscera and Mideon's head! Godfather covered for the win! *1/2[/color]

- 21:34-21:36[/color] - D'Lo Brown helped The Godfather to his feet, as the two celebrated, then ringing in the hos, as they danced around the two former members of Nation of Domination in this reunited moment!

- 21:36-21:37[/color] - We go to the parking lot, as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is making his way through to the front entrance of the Schottenstein Center, looking pissed!

- 21:36-21:40[/color] - Commercial break.

- 21:40-21:41[/color] - We see "Stone Cold" Steve Austin again, as this time he is wandering through the hallways of the Schottenstein Center, opening numerous doors. This was an attempt to find the WWF Chairman, Vince McMahon, apparently. Austin then found Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco; the former Stooges of Mr McMahon, as Austin asked them if they'd seen Vince. Patterson, still thinking of Austin as a nemesis, decided not to tell Austin, as Austin shoved him up against the wall, threatening him with a fist as Patterson finally told him, pleading for mercy, saying that Vince was trying to find The Rock! Austin looks unpleased, as he releases Patterson and storms away.

- 21:41-21:42[/color] - A few still shots from WWF No Mercy 1999 airs, as the encore presentation will be tomorrow night from 8PM!

- 21:42-21:47[/color] - Match #3: British Bulldog defeated Test[/color] Tim White was the official for this contest. This was a fairly good match here, as it featured the future husband of Stephanie McMahon, Test, trying to avenge his fiancé's loss of memory on Bulldog, after Bulldog had struck Stephanie McMahon with a trash can at WWF Rebellion, earlier this month. Test went to end it early on, as he traded shots with Bulldog, trying to brutalize Bulldog. Test took Bulldog down with a sound sidewalk slam, as Test beat down Bulldog alot during this match, Bulldog having to escape numerous times. Rodney, Pete Gas and Joey Abs appeared from three different sections of the audience at this point, as the Mean Street Posse jumped onto three different sides of the ring! Test looked confused, as Bulldog came back, hitting the Running Powerslam on Test for the win! **1/2[/color]

- 21:47-21:49[/color] - British Bulldog celebrates, as he hugs Rodney of the Mean Street Posse; the four then stomping away at the downed Test! After putting the boots to the future husband of Stephanie McMahon, Bulldog high-fives Joey Abs and Pete Gas, supposedly signifying an alliance with the three sweatervest wearing punks from Greenwich.

- 21:49-21:50[/color] - We see "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in the backstage area, as he asks referee Earl Hebner if he's seen Vince McMahon. Earl says that he hasn't seen Vince around today, but rumor has it he's pissed at Triple H. Austin thanks Earl, sarcastically for the previously unknown information, walking around, continuing his venture!

- 21:50-21:54[/color] - Commercial break.

- 21:54-21:55[/color] - We go to Kevin Kelly, as he is standing by outside of the WWF divas locker room, as the former WWF Womens Champion, Ivory steps out, angered about a hasbeen like the Fabulous Moolah winning the title in a way like that, last night at No Mercy. Ivory yells, saying that she wants it soon, Ivory then storming off.

- 21:55-21:57[/color] - A pre-taped segment airs, showing Mark Henry in a bar, following last night's No Mercy event. Mark was at the bar, as a smoking chick was hanging at the bar. Mark asked the girl if she wanted to taste his Mars Bar, only to get a slap from the chick. The bartender was also a hot girl, as he handed her money and asked him when she got off of her shift. The girl says that she has a boyfriend, as Mark starts to feel dejected. Mark drinks up, and begins to leave the bar, walking out of the bar.

- 21:57-21:59[/color] - We go to the locker room, as The Rock is jumping up and down, as his partner, Mankind wandered on-screen, the WWF Tag Team Championship on his shoulder aswell as a copy of his book, 'Have a Nice Day', as Mankind hands Rock the book, telling him that it's a good read, but best not to read it before their match tonight, against The Brood, in case he feels touched. Rock reluctantly thanks him, as Mankind grins, walking away.

- 21:59-22:06[/color] - Match #4: Val Venis defeated "Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman[/color] Mike Chioda was the official for this contest. This was a pretty good match-up here, as the "Big Valbowski" Val Venis was fresh off of a victory over Mankind last night, at No Mercy, as he took on the man he battled at the Unforgiven pay-per-view, Steve Blackman. Blackman showed some stiff kicks to start off the match, as Venis battled back with some good shots. Mr Rocko was nowhere to be seen, thankfully enough. Steve Blackman began to get in alot of offense, managing to get ahead of Venis, with a Martial Arts Kick, in which Venis barely kicked out of! Venis eventually knocked Blackman off of a top rope, landing the Money Shot on Steve for the win! **3/4[/color]

- 22:06-22:09[/color] - Val Venis begins to celebrate his victory over Steve Blackman, as Venis grabs a microphone, using his famous catchphrase, 'hello ladies'. Venis began to talk about a certain lady that just does not know her place in the wrestling world. Venis talked about how he loved women for their bare, beautiful bodies, and he likes to try and get in bed with those beautiful bodies as much as possible. But last night, a tragedy happened. A woman with an ugly, muscular body, won a title dominated by prestige, by male performers, as Chyna won the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Venis calls Chyna out, saying that he wants to be the one to take back the title that should of been in the men's possession the entire time! "My Time" then played, as the 'Ninth Wonder of the World' then wandered out to the arena, simply nodding at Venis, Miss Kitty was with her!

- 22:09-22:13[/color] - Commercial break.

- 22:13-22:14[/color] - We go back to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, as he continues his search for the Chairman of the World Wrestling Federation, finding Tom Pritchard, as he tells Austin to follow him!

- 22:14-22:17[/color] - Match #5: "Y2J" Chris Jericho defeated "Headbanger" Mosh with "Headbanger" Thrasher[/color] Chad Patton was the official for this contest. This was really a filler contest here, as the egotistical Chris Jericho took on one-half of the Headbangers here, as Mosh got in some blows in the opening moments of the match, before Jericho stiff dropkicked "Headbanger" Mosh in the temple, and that was really the downfall of Mosh. Jericho landed a springboard moonsault, which was pretty nice, before Y2J finished it with the Walls of Jericho. **3/4[/color]

- 22:17-22:19[/color] - Y2J, Chris Jericho begins to celebrate his victory, as "Headbanger" Thrasher went to assist to his fallen partner, Mosh. Jericho left the ring, as he wandered up the rampway, saying that he wanted big-time action!

- 22:19-22:21[/color] - We go to the interview area, as Michael Cole caught a word with the two members of The Brood, Jeff and Matt Hardy. Terri Runnels was accompanying them here, as Cole congratulated them on their show-stealing effort last night at No Mercy, in which they took down Edge and Christian in an amazing show of agility, in the tag team ladder match. Matt did most of the talking, as he stated that this is what they did day in and day out, they went out there, risked their bodies, just to entertain. Jeff then added, saying that tonight, their fantasy come true will resume, when the Hardy Boyz will be taking the WWF Tag Team Championships home to Greensboro, North Carolina! Gangrel then appeared, as he complained, asking what Terri Runnels was doing with them; his team. Gangrel insults Terri, saying that she probably doesn't know what she's doing. Jeff and Matt protect their new manager, as Gangrel backs up, yelling that he made them.

- 22:21-22:22[/color] - An advertisement airs, hyping up the next pay-per-view, Survivor Series; live on pay-per-view on Sunday 14th November 1999!

- 22:22-22:26[/color] - Commercial break.

- 22:26-22:29[/color] - We see Vince McMahon in his office, as he is on the phone to somebody. Vince then hangs up, as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin storms in, Vince seeming slow to react, noting how it's been an awkward length of time since him and Austin were in the same room or ring as each other. Austin slams the door, telling Vince that he's been trying to find him for the last hour or so. Austin demands another shot at the WWF Championship, saying that last night proved absolutely nothing, only that Triple H was more of an bunghole than he thought! Vince asked if Hunter is more of an bunghole than he is. Austin doesn't answer it, saying that he wants in on the WWF Championship match at Survivor Series! Vince tells Austin that he can't do that just as simple as that, as Austin hasn't earned it, but what he can do is position Steve Austin in a match against anybody of their choice on SmackDown, and the winner will be added to the match at Survivor Series, between Triple H and The Rock! Austin demands that he face Big Show on SmackDown, as Vince warns Austin that if he loses, then it will be Big Show joining Triple H and Rock at Survivor Series, not him!

- 22:29-22:35[/color] - Match #6: "Mr Ass" Billy Gunn with Road Dogg defeated Crash Holly with Hardcore Holly[/color] Miss Kitty was the official for this contest. Miss Kitty seems to of found a new found profession, as she contested this match. It featured "Mr Ass" Billy Gunn, of the New Age Outlaws taking on a member of the Holly Cousins, Crash, in a variation of a rematch from last night's No Mercy pay-per-view event. Gunn and Crash traded blows, as Road Dogg and Hardcore Holly cheered them on from ringside. Crash went for a DDT, but Gunn picked him up and threw him across the ring, then landing a Fame-Asser on Crash for the win! **3/4[/color]

- 22:35-22:36[/color] - Billy Gunn began to celebrate, as Road Dogg joined him in the ring. Hardcore Holly assisted Crash Holly from the ring, then knocking him down with a single blow! Hardcore left Crash at ringside, as Crash attempted to follow Holly, on his knees.

- 22:36-22:40[/color] - Commercial break.

- 22:40-22:52[/color] - Match #7: The Hardy Boyz with Terri Runnels defeated The Rock 'n' Sock Connection to win the WWF Tag Team Championships[/color] Earl Hebner was the official for this contest. This was a great main event to close off this edition of RAW is WAR, in this grand, WWF Tag Team Championship defense by The Rock and Mankind, against the up-and-coming duo of Jeff and Matt Hardy, now under the managemental services of Terri Runnels. The Rock and Matt Hardy started off, as Rock had alot of offense to start, Mankind then getting the tag, as he was then worked over by the fast-paced actions, made by Jeff and Matt Hardy. The young brothers from North Carolina, were made to look extremely good here, as they went after the body of Mankind! The Acolytes began to make their way to ringside midway through the match, however, as Jeff dived over the top rope, taking both Bradshaw AND Faarooq down with a suicide dive! Rock nailed the Rock Bottom on Matt, meanwhile, back in the ring, as Triple H rushed down the rampway, distracting Rock! Rock swung for Hunter, but he jumped down, meanwhile Matt hit a Twist of Fate from behind! Jeff went up top, the opportunist, as Jeff hit the Senton Bomb for the win! ***1/4[/color]

- 22:52-22:54[/color] - Jeff and Matt Hardy hugged and celebrated, as their valet, Terri Runnels handed them their well-deserved WWF Tag Team Championship belts, as the crowd gave them a good pop. The Rock sat up, after his defeat, as he stared down the WWF Champion, Triple H [from ringside], both men staring each other down as RAW is WAR went off the air![/font]

Usually you do well with 90's stuff. HHH vs. Rock at SS is good, they always had awesome matches. Hope you can make the whole Kane/X-Pac stuff interesting. Hardcore match seemed a little random. This is me being picky, but it's not really necessary to state who the official is for the match tbh. Austin being pissed was always fun. Surprised Test loss but it keeps things moving. Chyna as IC Champ was interesting. Fine win for Y2J, hope he gets a nice push. Gunn is better than Crash so no surprise there. Wow huge win for the Hardyz, that really puts them over. Pretty good start, only complaint was that the matches lacked a little. Too many of them had undercarders in them and what not.

The opening contest really captured this time period well. Triple H versus The Rock should be a classic. Opening contest was okay, but nothing to great. I like the hostility between Kane and X-Pac. I like the Acolytes getting air time. Happy to see Godfather get the win in what seemed to be a wreck of a match. I love the Austin altercation with Paterson. I would mark for a Bulldog push, he has so much talent and I hope you don’t waste them. I loved the Mark Henry segment. Venis versus Blackman sounds like it would have been a good match and I like Venis getting the win. Nothing great about Jericho’s win, but it gets him on the card. I like the Austin/McMahon segment, highly realistic. Gunn over Holly was nothing special. Very nice to see The Hardy Boyz go over and I love the HHH interference.

First off, I have to say the segments go on for too long. For example, the Triple H/Rock promo; it's nice to have detail, but you use too much, imo. Why did Austin choose Big Show to fight? You could do a lot more with Jericho than putting him in a filler match against Mosh. Val Venis vs. Chyna for the IC belt could be good; heh, maybe Miss Kitty will star in one of Val's movies. Bulldog and MSP together could be cool; WWF put them together during this time but dropped the idea after Survivor Series. Good stuff with Kane and X-Pac; I could see them splitting up soon. Godfather over Mideon is okay. Meh feud between The Outlaws and The Hollys. The Hardyz winning the Tag Titles shocked me, but I should've expected HHH to cost Rock the match. Hope Gangrel continues his feud with The Hardyz.

You're off to a pretty good start, but I feel that the promos and the detail could be worked on.

Gillberg for mystery man at Survivor Series!

- 20:00-20:00[/color] - The WWF signature to all WWF programming airs, as it shows numerous shots of pyrotechnics on the RAW stage, before cutting to a WWF logo.

- 20:00-20:03[/color] - A video package airs, recapping the happenings from this past Monday night, on RAW is WAR, as Triple H started off the show cutting a promo on the fact that he is 'unbeatable', as WWF Champion and having previously retained his WWF Championships from "Stone Cold" Steve Austin at No Mercy. The Rock was the one that interrupted him, however, as he insulted Triple H, Vince McMahon then coming out and making a match for Survivor Series between those two participants! Also shown, was Steve Austin's search for Vince McMahon reaching a climax, as him and old foe, Vince agreed on a match tonight, with the winner joining HHH and Rock at Survivor Series. Finally, the package ended when The Rock 'n' Sock Connection lost the WWF Tag Team Championships to the Hardy Boyz, with assistance from Triple H; the two staring each other down as RAW went off the air.

- 20:02-20:03[/color] - The opening video package for SmackDown aired, to a fast-paced techno theme. We go to the live arena, as pyrotechnics went off, in front of the unique OvalTron, as Michael Cole and Jerry "King" Lawler introduced us to the show, and went through numerous matters from this past Monday's edition of RAW is WAR.

- 20:03-20:13[/color] - The theme of Mankind played throughout the arena, as the man in the mask and the sweats made his way out to the arena to a good reaction, carrying his book, 'Have a Nice Day' in his hands. Mankind climbed into the ring, as he got on the microphone, as he promoted his book to everybody, saying that it is probably the greatest creation of his in all of his career, even life. Mankind talked about losing the WWF Tag Team Championships last Monday night on RAW, applauding Jeff and Matt Hardy for their victory, and recent fame into the World Wrestling Federation's tag team division. Mankind then mentioned that The Rock 'n' Sock Connection would not of lost the WWF Tag Team Championships if Triple H had not interfered, and got his big nose in their business. Mankind calls the WWF Champion out, mentioning that he wants to get his hands on Triple H this Monday night on RAW! "My Time" played throughout the arena, as the crowd immediately began to boo. The WWF Champion, Triple H then appeared on the entrance ramp, as he asked Mankind if he really has 'it', the ability to be able to fight him, and have a chance of winning. Triple H reminds us of the RAW is WAR from after SummerSlam, in which it was Mankind walking into that edition of RAW with the WWF Championship in his possession. Mankind then lost the WWF Championship following interference from Shane McMahon, as the opportunistic Triple H wisely sorted out a strategy and picked up the title! Mankind tells Triple H that he wants Hunter in the ring on Monday night, and he will prove himself as being a really vicious performer, by defeating him in the center of that ring on RAW! Triple H nodded, leaving as Mankind looked angered.

- 20:13-20:17[/color] - Commercial break.

- 20:17-20:23[/color] - Match #1: Test, Edge and Christian defeated The Mean Street Posse with British Bulldog[/color] Jimmy Korderas was the official for this contest. This was really a way to get Test retribution on British Bulldog and the Mean Street Posse, following the Bulldog and the Posse's beatdown on him this past Monday night, on RAW. Edge and Rodney started off, as Edge dominated, Rodney having about three or four shots in. Edge nailed a Downward Spiral on Rodney before tagging in Christian. Joey Abs had the tag here, as Christian went in there, hit a few moves before nailing an Unprettier. This brought Test and Pete Gas into the ring, as Test easily finished Gas off, nailing the pumphandle slam for the win! **1/4[/color]

- 20:23-20:27[/color] - Test began to celebrate alongside his fellow Canadians, Edge and Christian. British Bulldog backed up the aisleway, as Test pointed at Bulldog, telling him that he wanted Bulldog!

- 20:27-20:28[/color] - We go to the parking lot, as the egomaniacal Chris Jericho stepped out of his car. Y2J was followed by Curtis Hughes and Howard Finkel, as Hughes and Finkel grabbed Jericho's four massive bags, Jericho just walking ahead, telling his associates that he had something big planned for tonight.

- 20:28-20:29[/color] - An advertisement aired, hyping up the WWF's next pay-per-view event, Survivor Series, as that will be live on pay-per-view, on Sunday 14th November 1999!

- 20:33-20:34[/color] - In the WWF Slam of the Week, it showed us the Hardy Boyz beating The Rock 'n' Sock Connection to retain the WWF Tag Team Championships, on RAW is WAR.

- 20:33-20:37[/color] - Match #2: The Hardy Boyz with Terri Runnels fought The Acolytes to a no-contest in a non-title contest[/color] Teddy Long was the official for this contest. This wasn't too much of a match here, as Jeff and Matt Hardy; the new WWF Tag Team Champions, were out to seek revenge on the two men that attempted to cost them the match on RAW is WAR, The Acolytes. Bradshaw and Jeff started, but hell soon broke loose, as Faarooq soon came in unprovoked, as both members of The Acolytes began to pound away at the body of Jeff. Matt eventually ran in to try and make the save, but Bradshaw delivered a Clothesline From Hell! The match was then thrown out, by official Teddy Long. N/A

- 20:37-20:39[/color] - Terri Runnels went to attend to her fallen clients, the Hardy Boyz, as Gangrel soon marched down the rampway, cockily, as he climbed into the ring, carrying his glass of 'blood'. Bradshaw piefaced Terri to the canvas, as Gangrel poured 'blood' over the fallen Jeff Hardy!

- 20:39-20:33[/color] - Commercial break.

- 20:33-20:34[/color] - We go to the backstage area, as we see the WWF Womens Champion, the Fabulous Moolah walking through the hallway, along with her best friend, Mae Young. The crowd give them a pop, as Moolah talks about Ivory wanting to get back in the ring with the longest reigning ladies champion in the history of professional wrestling. Mae looks a little disgruntled, as Jerry Lawler mimmicks both elderly women. Mae asks Moolah for something, as Moolah asks what she wants. Mae responds by requesting a match for the WWF Womens Championship, tonight!? Moolah accepts her challenge as "King" is disgusted!

- 20:34-20:39[/color] - Match #3: D'Lo Brown defeated Viscera to retain the WWF European Championship[/color] Tim White was the official for this contest. This wasn't really too good of a match here, as it was the man that made the save for The Godfather, this past Monday, defending his title against the 500-pound, Viscera. Viscera threw alot of stiff punches at D'Lo, as Brown tried a hit-and-run strategy, desperately trying to keep clear of the big man. Viscera eventually nailed a big Samoan Drop on D'Lo, but then The Godfather, alongside his hos wandered out! Viscera was distracted, as D'Lo rolled him up from behind for the win! **[/color]

- 20:39-20:43[/color] - The Godfather was jumped from behind by Mideon, as he then began to stomp away at Godfather, right there on the rampway! The crowd booed, as the hos fled to the backstage area, Mideon rolling Godfather down the rampway, joining Viscera in the ring, as Mideon and Viscera began to stomp away at Godfather and D'Lo Brown! At that point, Mark Henry made his prescence felt, as he wandered down the rampway, 'Sexual Chocolate' trading blows with the big man Viscera! Mark headbutted Mideon to the ground, before clotheslining Viscera over the top and to the floor, as Mark helped D'Lo Brown and Godfather; his former Nation of Domination partners up!

- 20:43-20:44[/color] - A video package airs, hyping up the Attitude Era. Get It?

- 20:44-20:48[/color] - Commercial break.

- 20:48-20:56[/color] - Match #4: Hardcore Holly with Crash Holly defeated Road Dogg with Billy Gunn[/color] Chad Patton was the official for this contest. These two men wrestled a decent match-up here, as it was the two participants of either team that didn't wrestle this past Monday night on RAW. Road Dogg started off with some offensive street-style natured punches, before Hardcore Holly's rough-housing ring style began to get the better of the New Age Outlaw. Holly went for the suplex he calls the Falcon Arrow, but Road Dogg reversed, going for the Pumphandle Slam, only for Holly to slip out and follow through with that Falcon Arrow for the win! **3/4[/color]

- 20:56-20:57[/color] - Hardcore Holly celebrated, as his cousin, Crash joined Hardcore in the ring, both men celebrating, as Billy Gunn attended to Road Dogg.

- 20:57-20:58[/color] - We go to the backstage area, as Mankind was hanging around the locker room, finishing off the final few pages of his book, 'Have a Nice Day'. The door opened and closed, as Mankind's good friend, Al Snow wandered in. Snow joked around, asking Mankind what book he's reading. Mankind and Al have a friendly hug, as Snow told Mankind that something tragic has gone on. Mankind looks shocked, as he puts his book down, and begins to follow Al Snow!

- 20:58-21:00[/color] - We go to the backstage area, as Kevin Kelly was standing by in the SmackDown interview section with Val Venis. Kelly reminds us of Val Venis' speech on RAW is WAR, in which Venis complained that the prestige of the WWF Intercontinental Championship was tarnished now that Chyna won the title. Venis tells Kelly that his ladies have been giving him abuse for being 'sexist' or something. Venis tells Kelly that he knows he is 'sexy', and he 'exists', so why he is being called 'sexist' is beyond him. Val says that he will prove his contention to the title tonight, when he will overthrow the 'Big Red intellectually- disabled person', Kane.

- 21:00-21:04[/color] - Commercial break.

- 21:04-21:06[/color] - Match #5: The Fabulous Moolah defeated Mae Young to retain the WWF Womens Championship by disqualification[/color] Miss Kitty was the official for this contest. This was a dud, it was intended to be a comedy match, and that is what this was. All over. Shameful thing is, Michael Cole actually got into it, which is a bad thing considering this is the bottom league in the World Wrestling Federation [well, next to the Light-Heavyweight division]. Jerry Lawler's comedic lines were the highlight of the match, as these two traded happy-slaps in the corners, before Ivory thankfully ran down to the ring, at the two minute mark and took Moolah out with a clothesline! DUD

- 21:06-21:07[/color] - Ivory took down Mae Young with a weak right hand, as Ivory picked up Fabulous Moolah's WWF Womens Championship belt, saying that the belt will be her's after Monday night, on RAW is WAR!

- 21:11-21:20[/color] - We go to the live arena, as the lights go down, and the countdown is running down from ten, the countdown then finishing, as the audience were left in darkness. The crowd then erupted, as pyrotechnics went off, Chris Jericho making his way out to the arena, as the audience began to boo from that point. Jericho walked cockily down the rampway, flying solo tonight, no Howard Finkel or Curtis Hughes in sight. Y2J then climbed into the ring, as he had a microphone in hand. Jericho talked about not really making as big an impact on the snoretastic World Wrestling Federation as he wanted to, and he has done nothing but treaded water for the last few months. Jericho stated that he thought he was left with nothing to do, being absent from the No Mercy card and all. Jericho then began to talk about a certain situation that was going on in the backstage area. Jericho cued for the OvalTron, as we saw Al Snow and Mankind continuing their quest. Mankind looked appauled as he saw the copy of 'Have a Nice Day' on the floor, face-down, and 'IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR STORY IS' written in graffiti on the back. Mankind looks up from the floor, to see 'The Rock' on a locker room door! Mankind looked pissed, as Al Snow restrained Mankind from going near the door, as Jericho said that Mankind is the source of boringness in the WWF! Mankind then went off-screen, as Al followed him, Jericho ignoring what is going on on the OvalTron. Y2J continued to speak about how he came here to fix that boring lifestyle of on-screen performers, dissing Mankind for his lifestyle, gone from a stuntman jumping off of cages, to promoting his worthless book! Mankind's theme then played, as an angered Mankind rushed down the rampway, tackling Jericho, as both men began to brawl! Numerous officials ran down to the ring to break it up, but not managing to do it that easily! Jericho ended up rushing out of the ring, after Mankind got Mr Socko out, as Mankind grinned from the ring!

- 21:20-21:24[/color] - Commercial break.

- 21:24-21:29[/color] - Match #6: Val Venis defeated Kane to gain contention to the WWF Intercontinental Championship[/color] Mike Chioda was the official for this contest. This was a pretty decent match-up here, as it featured the 'Big Valbowski' take on the 'Big Red Machine'. Got to say, Kane's nickname the 'Big Red Machine' has really been derived into the 'Big Red intellectually- disabled person' by Jerry "King" Lawler. Kane had alot of offense here, as Val Venis tried to dodge out of the big man's way, managing to dodge few of his attacks; the big, red seven-footer was just too powerful for Val to take on. Kane went to set up for a Chokeslam, but Venis gave a low-blow to Kane, unbeknownst to Mike Chioda! Venis took Chioda down from behind, before putting the boots to Kane, as X-Pac ran down to the ring, a chair in hand to make the save! He slid into the ring, going to nail Venis, but Val ducked, X-Pac slammed the chair into his own partner's skull! Venis took out X-Pac before covering Kane for three! ***1/4[/color]

- 21:29-21:32[/color] - Val Venis begins to celebrate, dodging out of the ring, as Kane looks a bit angered at X-Pac, as X-Pac repeatedly apologized to Kane!

- 21:32-21:33[/color] - We go to the backstage area, as we see the two Dudley Boyz, as Buh-Buh tries to talk strategy to D-Von, but stutters alot! These two goofy men are in action up next!

- 21:33-21:37[/color] - Commercial break.

- 21:37-21:40[/color] - Match #7: TheDudley Boyz defeated The Headbangers[/color] Steve Lombardi was the official for his contest. This was a filler match here, as both teams put on a fairly decent, fast-paced contest here. D-Von Dudley and Thrasher started things off, as Thrasher got in numerous shots before Buh-Buh Ray began to brawl with the metalhead, Thrasher. Mosh eventually got the tag, as he came in, only to run RIGHT into the Dudley Death Drop for the win. **[/color]

- 21:40-21:42[/color] - D-Von Dudley celebrated, as his brother, Buh-Buh Ray looks unsatisfied, sat on the canvas. Buh-Buh got up, shoving D-Von, and yelling for tables! D-Von nodded, as the audience seemed to get a bit rowdied up! D-Von collected a table from ringside, as he set it up, Buh-Buh seated on the top turnbuckle! D-Vo lifts Mosh up onto his shoulders, as Buh-Buh powerbombed Mosh through the table! The Dudley Boyz celebrated!

- 21:42-21:42[/color] - A graphic appeared, as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will challenge The Big Show up next!

- 21:42-21:46[/color] - Commercial break.

- 21:46-21:57[/color] - "Stone Cold" Steve Austin defeated The Big Show[/color] This was a decent main event here, as the 'Texas Rattlesnake' battled the big man, himself in what was a hard-fought battle. Big Show and Steve Austin traded shots in the early goings of the match, as the audience were split RIGHT down the middle, half of them cheering on Austin, the other half wanting Big Show to win! Triple H was seen watching on, from a monitor in the backstage area, throughout the match, looking concerned throughout, as both men brawled in the ring. The Rock came out to spectate from the entrance ramp, but that didn't distract Austin nor Show. Show eventually went for the Chokeslam, but Austin slipped out and nailed the Stunner for the win! ***[/color]

- 21:57-21:58[/color] - "Stone Cold" Steve Austin began to celebrate, as he got up to the turnbuckle, taunting The Rock, as both men stared each other down! We cut to the backstage area, as Triple H slammed his sledgehammer into the monitor, tossing things around as SmackDown went off the air![/font]
