WE ARE LIVE from Texas A&M on the NEW TNN and TSN in Canada.

Tonight - we'll hear from Triple H who just might have something to say about Backlash but first...

The owner of RAW Ric Flair styles and profiles his way to the ring doing it as only he can! The commentators yak about Kevin Nash's suspension and how it translates to Ric Flair meaning business. "You guys are on fire tonight aren't ya? Good, 'cause we've got a tremendous, tremendous program tonight. I want to start out almost by apologizing to all of you out here for being the first one on the show, because we have a wealth of great performers back there second to none, and I don't want to keep them off camera for another minute. But as a result of the events that took place on RAW last Monday night I've got to address a certain individual. Now Stone Cold Steve Austin, I recognize the fact that you are anti-authority. But unlike, but unlike Vince McMahon, Stone Cold, I have no desire to go to war with you. I have no desire to go to war with Stone Cold. Actually Stone Cold, if you think about it, you and I probably have alot in common. You see, I've only been the owner for less than a year. Before that, I went up and down the highways just like you, busting my ass, night after night, to give these people the best in professional wrestling. And let me explain something else to ya, I told you last Monday night, and I mean it, as sure as I'm standing here, I like you Austin, and I'm determined to make our relationship work. Personally, there's nothing I'd rather see more than you beating Undertaker at Backlash, and going on to wrestle the winner of the championship match between Triple H and Hulk Hogan. No vendettas, no agendas, clearly in my mind Steve Austin you are the man. But, I've got a problem with what happened last week, so if you would please show everybody here tonight what happened last week..." And sure enough - here's clips of the nWo attacking Steve Austin and being saved by Ric Flair - but Austin strikes Flair with a Stunner. "Now that I've got a problem with. The first time you Stunned me Austin I let it slide. Then I gave everyone a simple warning. Put your hands on the owner and there'll be hell to pay. So as a result of what happened...." and the glass breaks. Steve Austin makes his way out to the ring - and starts to pose on the turnbuckles. On his way to the third though, Flair gets in his way. Austin doesn't look too pleased about that. "As I was saying.... As I was saying, put your hands on me again, there'll be hell to pay. Now I am not gonna suspend you like I did Kevin Nash, but I'm gonna fine ya. $5000. Are we clear?" "You're asking me are we clear? That's what you're saying? Are we clear? Do I understand you? I look at you eye to eye. I can hear ya. I can read your lips. And you're asking are we clear? Let me ask you a question. Are we clear? You tell me right now - who was my opponent last Monday night supposed to be? Was it Goldust? Was it Booker T? Was it William Regal? Was it Spike Dudley? Was it Bubba Ray Dudley? Was it Kane? Was it? Was it Ric Flair? Was it the Nature Boy? No it wasn't. It wasn't Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Ric Flair. You know what it was? It was Stone Cold vs. Scott Hall. Are you Scott Hall? Are you Razor Ramon? Eh eh! No you're not. So if you come down to this ring uninvited, in a match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Scott Hall and you get your ass Stunned, that's just the way it is. You said you come down here to even the score. Was I asking for help? Was I crying? Was I begging? Was I screaming for mercy? Did I call you? Did I give you an e-mail? Did I send you a smoke signal? Did I fax ya? Hell no! I didn't do a damn thing, you ran out here, bam you caught a Stunner, big deal. Are you supposed to be some kind of rescue dog. Are you Lassie? You my protective angel? Looking over my shoulder? Everytime I get in trouble you come running. You're a big hero? You're Superman? I don't think so. I didn't need your help last week and this Sunday at Backlash when I whip the Undertaker's ass, 1, 2, 3, you're looking at the man who will be the #1 contender after Backlash because I'm gonna whip the Undertaker's ass. Why? Why? Why? 'Cause that's the bottom line 'cause Stone Cold said so!" But that's not the sound of breaking glass - Limp Bizkit fires up bringing out The Undertaker! He stares down Steve Austin. "You see, as far as I'm concerned, there ain't been one bottom line. Your focus is on the wrong man. You see, me and you Austin, we've got this long history together. Been alot of battles. Been alot of wars. You win some, I win some. You bust my head open, I bust your head open. And make no mistake about it, Sunday, it will be a war. We don't like each other, never have, never will. But you see, Sunday it's a little bit different. It ain't because we don't like each other. Sunday's about a shot at the WWF Title. You see with this whole brand extension, and the owners competing against each other, we ain't gonna have the same opportunities to get that title." The crowd fires up an Austin chant. "So you need to focus. Our past, our feelings, it don't mean a damn. But I want you to know, if I gotta outwrestle ya, I'm gonna outwrestle ya. If I've gotta outfight ya, I'm gonna outfight ya. And if I've gotta outcheat ya, I'll outcheat ya. Make no, make no mistake about it, Sunday at Backlash, I'm gonna beat ya. And then I'm gonna go on to win the WWF Title. So what's kinda pissing me off, is having you stand out here, and you're trying to pick a fight, when deep down inside, you know you want his (pointing at Flair) help. No no no, you don't want his help, you NEED his help." "Let me just tell it like it is, I don't need nobodies help, I don't need his help. And if he shows up in his match, after I Stun you, pin you 1, 2, 3, I'll Stun his ass, and that's all I've got to say about that." "Well that's good, because you've got it all wrong again. He ain't gonna be in any position to be Stunned, 'cause if he gets out of line, after I beat your ass, I'll kick his teeth down his throat." "You both got it wrong. Because as the owner of this company, I'm making myself special guest referee of the match between you two at Backlash." The screen turns black and white, meaning the nWo apparently too has something to say about all this. "Hey yo! The nWo is sick of hearing about what Ric Flair wants. I never thought I'd agree with Stone Cold, but he's right. You had no business sticking your nose in our match." An X-Pac sucks chant attempts to drown them out. "Because I had Austin beat 1-on-1, and then I'll go to Backlash and beat the Undertaker. But you stuck your nose in my business, and that other stupid Texas redneck Bradshaw stuck his nose in my business. So Bossman, what I want tonight is Stone Cold Steve Austin - Scott Hall - 1-on-1. And after I beat you (pointing at Austin), I'm gonna be you (Undertaker). So what's it gonna be Flair?" "You ain't gotta answer that, I'll whoop your ass tonight in this ring, fine." "That ain't fine with me though, see." "What?" "That's not fine with me. You want an answer? Take the W out of the nWo and the answer is no." "Then there's only one thing left to do..." As Scott Hall puts down his microphone, and X-Pac shakes his hands around insinuating he wants a fight, the theme of the Acolytes hits, and Bradshaw hits the ring. He takes out the nWo single handedly while Austin and Taker fight. Taker winds up with the soupbone - but accidently strikes Flair, allowing Austin to clothesline Taker out and over the top to the floor. Flair throws a fit on the floor while Austin and Bradshaw drink beer. Flair is pointing back towards the ring and heads up the ramp. Austin giggles like a little girl, and we head off to commercials.

When we return, here's a look at the huge brawl that took place moments ago.

Flair is yelling and screaming to Arn Anderson. He says if these guys want to tear it down - then they can tear it down. He books Bradshaw and Steve Austin against the nWo and The Undertaker in a 3-on-2 handicap match, which is presumably our main event.

BUBBA RAY DUDLEY vs. RAVEN (for the WWF Hardcore Title)

Bubba Ray has a trashcan. Raven has a shopping cart filled with all kinds of goodies. Well thank goodness SOMEONE came prepared. Sloppy work by the champion, tsk tsk. This is a return match from two weeks ago when Bubba won the Hardcore Title. Raven with a sideheadlock - shoved into the ropes - comes forward and drops Bubba with a shoulderblock. Off the ropes - Bubba meets him with a hiptoss and follows that with a powerslam. That's all the technical wrestling you're getting from this match. Bubba gets his hands on a trashcan lid, and waffles the challenger. Up to the top rope - but Raven cuts him off with a sign, then press slams him to the mat. Whip to the opposite turnbuckle - Raven off the ropes, and catches Bubba with a clothesline. Running kneelift and a cover, 1, 2, Bubba's out. The fans want tables, but Raven prefers a big piece of wood, which he breaks over the head of Bubba. Trashcan shot to the head - and we go to the stop sign! Bubba takes the shot, then falls face first onto a trashcan. 1, 2, Bubba gets a shoulder up. Raven and Bubba both grab a lid - and Raven whips Bubba into the opposite turnbuckle. He charges, but Bubba blocks with a back elbow - then both guys take to hitting eachother simultaneously with lids. Bubba ducks a third shot, and hits a neckbreaker. Both guys to their feet, and it's a hardcore slugfest! Bubba cheats, and wins with a clothesline. Another clothesline, and Bubba picks him up. Whip, Bubba catches Raven coming off, and flapjacks him back into all the crap. Let's drop a couple elbows, and boogie like it's 1999! Double axehandle is dropped - and suddenly he gets a crazy look in his eyes. "BUBBA....GET THE TABLE!" Sure enough, Bubba complies and gets himself a table. Sliding it in proves ineffective though, as Raven's over with a baseball slide dropkick. Bubba is rolled into the ring - Raven Effect! 1, 2, 3!

Time: 3:04

Well, that was odd. Oh, I get it. Here comes Tommy Dreamer with a referee of his own. Spicolli Driver - 1, 2, 3!

Time: 0:18

He's finally won a WWF belt! And it's probably his last, as Steven Richards slides in with the Stevenkick. 1, 2, 3!

Time: 0:11

I suspect HIS first WWF belt won't last past this segment either. Bubba's alive, and has a guitar in his hands. He's playing something, Steven turns around, KABONG! 1, 2, 3!

Time: 0:17

And all was right with the world.

The Big Show is walking around backstage. JR wonders who's man enough to step in the ring with him tonight. Hmmm, I bet we'll find out after these commercials.

Haven't gone over your limit this month? Well whip out your credit card, and watch Backlash on your computer this Sunday. Those of you on a 28.8 are screwed - especially if you order it!

The Coach has Shawn Stasiak backstage and wonders why he'd choose The Big Show as his opponent during his return to RAW. "Why Coach? Why do you ask? You think I'm a maniac? Do you think I've gone a little craziac? You know what, I did see my shrink last week, I think he's a quack, 'cause he wanted to put me on some Prozzak. But don't worry Coach, I do have a plan of attack, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Welcome to my world. Welcome to Planet Stasiak!

THE BIG SHOW vs. PLANET STASIAK

JR suggests that The Big Show is bigger every single time we see him. I thought he was sent to OVW to stop that? Stasiak tries to hammer away, but Show feels nothing - whipping him into the ropes. Stasiak with a go behind, and actually lifts Show about a foot off the ground before dropping him! Reverse elbow stops that though. Stasiak goes to the leg, but he's clobbered back down. Whip to the corner - Stasiak gets both legs up to stop the charging big man. He leaps at the leg again, and does manage a single leg takedown! He works over the thigh, and even drops some elbows. Show has enough, and shoves him off into the corner. Blind charge right into Stasiak's chest. Here's some chops. Now a whip into the ropes - and a clothesline takes off Stasiak's head. Heel kick - and we have a Chokeslam! 1, 2, 3.

Time: 1:24

Two weeks ago, Eddie Guerrero re-appeared from the shadows (of the WWA) and attacked Rob Van Dam. Coming up in just a little bit - Terri will speak to the former Intercontinental Champion and try to figure out just what this is all about.

We're back, and indeed Terri does have Eddie Guerrero with her. RVD has accepted Eddie Guerrero's challenge for the IC Title at Backlash, and Terri wonders how he feels about that. "How do I feel? I'll tell you how I feel. I feel great about it. I've been trying to do ALOT of things right in my life, you know what I mean mammie? And this is just a step in the right direction. You know, part of getting things right is taking back what rightfully belongs to you. Well that Intercontinental Title, that rightfully belongs to Eddie Guerrero. And in my opinion Rob Van Dam stole that. And not only that, you know what else he stole? He stoled, can you believe it, he stole my Frog Splash! My Frog Splash! Come Sunday, at Backlash, see I'm not gonna steal nothin' from him, if you know what I mean mammie. I'm just gonna take back what's rightfully mine. And you know how I'm gonna do that? I'm gonna do it with MY Frog Splash. Yeah, I'm gonna beat him with my Frog Splash, 1, 2, 3, new Intercontinental Champion Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero, that's right mammie. And tonight, with William Regal as my partner, that awesome wrestler, we're gonna take Spike and that klepto, and he's gonna find out what Latino Heat is all about." Booker T warms up backstage - when Goldust sneaks up behind him and inhales. "Man what the hell is wrong witchoo? Don't come in here with that (inhale) crap. Last week you cost me the Hardcore Title. Instead of jacking you tonight, I find out Ric Flair has teamed us up and your request. You'd better start talking sucka." "First off I apologize for last week's hardcore shenanigans, I got a little greedy for the gold." "Yeah you did!" "But I see a star, and in you I see the brightest star in the sky." "Well I see a gold freak about to get his ass kicked if he don't back the hell up sucka." "You've missed the bigger picture. Think about it, think about it for just a minute. A pair of two mismatched rogues. One from the streets of minecrity (I've looked up the word on every spell checker I have - I have NO idea what the hell it means or if that's what he was actually saying.), the other, the womb of sacrilege. Together, we could make the biggest blockbuster since Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Lethal Weapon, yeah. Together, we will make box office (inhale - bite) gold." Goldust heads off. "Man, I'm gettin' too old for this shit."

Debra makes coffee! The Undertaker wanders over for a cup, and the announcers groan like something terrible ALWAYS happens when you mix wives with angry wrestlers and coffee. Sure enough, she turns around, jumps, and spills coffee on his belly. I wonder if that's how it happened to Dusty Rhodes. He glares.

The Rock hosted Saturday Night Live. Here's some clips - which are not much more entertaining than the show was.

CRASH vs. JACQUELINE

Last night on Heat, Crash had to cheat to defeat Jackie - so she was granted a rematch tonight. Before this match gets underway though - Jackie has some words about all of this for fellow PMS mate Terri. "You damn right. You think I'm gonna let that punk pull that crap? This is Texas, my home state. And tonight, I'm going to show Crash that whether it's love or war, when you cheat on me, there's a price to pay."

Jackie rushes the ring and shoves Crash. Crash asks her to calm down - she shoves him again, so he knocks her on her ass. Hotshot onto the ropes - Jackie falls back, feet on the ropes, 1, 2, the referee catches him this time. Crash freaks out and gets all up in the referees area about daring to call him on a foul! Up top is Jackie - missile dropkick! She follows that with a sunset flip, 1, 2, 3!

Time: 0:28

Last Monday night, Spike Dudley managed to top those 28 seconds, and pinned William Regal in about 2.5 seconds to win the European Title.

The Coach stands with William Regal and asks him how he feels about that. Regal calls it the most humiliating experience of his life - only to have Coach remind him about kissing McMahon's ass. Regal freaks out, calling Coach a piece of excrement (ROCK ON!) - and threatens to crack his skull open if he ever conducts an interview like that again.

ROB VAN DAM and SPIKE DUDLEY vs. WILLIAM REGAL and EDDIE GUERRERO

Guerrero's still using Latino Heat. He also doesn't look nearly as old as he did at the WWA pay-per-view back in February. Before the bell - Regal cheap shots Spike and knocks him to the floor. The heels attack the prone Rob Van Dam. Van Dam recovers - whips Regal to the corner, and drops him with the backdrop. Still on the attack, here's a spinning heel kick. Whip - reversed - RVD with a go behind, tries to roll him up, but Regal holds the top rope and RVD rolls away. Regal's kick is blocked - and RVD hits a spinning kick of his own. Regal begs off, but RVD will have none of it - whipping Regal into the corner, making the tag, and hitting the monkey flip. Regal too makes a point of tagging out. Spike's dropkick is swatted away by Guerrero, and he stomps on the little guy. Whip - reversed - Guerrero is caught with an atomic drop. Boot to the midsection - spinning neckbreaker! Whip is reversed, and Regal nails Spike as he comes into the ropes. Whip by Guerrero, and Spike runs right into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Tag out to Regal. Eddie punches Spike in the gut for good measure, and Regal comes off the ropes with a kick to Spike's leg, taking him down. Cover, 1, Spike kicks away. Regal with the half nelson suplex, and Spike can't take anymore as he heads out to the floor. Lawler: "Spike didn't hurt his neck, William Regal hurt Spike's neck." Guerrero slams Spike on the floor while the referee is distracted, and rolls him in. Regal drives his knee into Spike's face as he tags out to Guerrero. Whip - Spike is met with a back elbow. RVD has his head in the clouds, and Eddie takes the opportunity to knock him to the floor. Regal gets tagged in while RVD tries to rush Guerrero. Spike is whipped - but he catches Regal with a crossbody, 1, 2, Regal kicks out. Double knee lift to the face - and we're into the corner. Regal chops and delivers that left hand. Whip to the opposite turnbuckle - but Spike comes out in a hurry with a torpedo right to Regal's midesection leaving him winded. Spike up - trying for the Dudley Dawg, but Guerrero comes over to aid in the blocking, and winds up taking a rana for his trouble. RVD gets the tag. Jumping spin kick to Regal. Guerrero gets knocked off the apron by the charging Van Dam - who then follows with a Rolling Thunder. 1, 2, Regal escapes. RVD up top - jumping kick to the head of Regal. Powerslam - RVD up, split legged moonsault! 1, Guerrero breaks that up. Regal is whipped into the opposite corner - nails a couple of shoulderblocks, flips back - Regal comes forward, but RVD ducks - heads up - and hits a springboard crossbody! Leg is hooked, 1, 2, Guerrero again matches the save. He hits a NICE neckbreaker! Spike is tagged in, and throws some rights to Regal. Whip - and Regal gets a boot up in the corner to take out Spike. Guerrero is tagged in. He charges the corner, and Spike sidesteps leaving nothing but a turnbuckle for Eddie. Go behind is reversed in a huge belly to back from Guerrero. RVD comes in - but Regal cuts him off and they fight on the floor. Guerrero hits a brainbuster, and goes up to the top rope. Froggie Splash hits - 1, 2, 3!

Time: 5:48

Eddie's mighty proud of himself and poses - complete with pointing to himself. RVD doesn't take too kindly to that - gets in the ring, and delivers a really cool looking dropkick! He heads up - but Regal manages to get Eddie out of the ring. Hey, wacky tag-team partners that get along, how about that!

Coach stands with Trish Stratus. Tonight she has a rematch with Molly - and the winner gets a shot at the Women's Title. "Well you know Coach, the way I see it, it's all about give and take. You see, yes Jazz did give me a shot in the head with the Women's Title - but that's okay. Because when I beat Molly tonight, I'm gonna take that very same title at Backlash. And when I do, it's going to be 100% Statusfaction guaran..." but Ms. Molly has wandered into the picture and shut Trish up. She's holding a copy of the WWF Swimsuit issue. "Excuse me, I didn't mean to interrupt. But Coach, you're a male, tell me. Which picture is more attractive? This borderline softcore pornographic picture of Trish? Or this radiant portrait of beauty? I'm sure alot more students at Texas A&M have this picture in their dorm room than any of yours. You know what else is a beautiful thing? Tonight, after I beat you and win the Women's Title at Backlash, I will be the first WWF Women's champion to be both pure and wholesome." "Well I'll tell ya this much Coach, when I beat Molly tonight, she's gonna find herself in an apparently unfamiliar position. Flat on her back!" I wonder what Ivory thinks about that!

Lawler's excited about the fact Molly's a virgin.

MOLLY HOLLY vs. TRISH STRATUS (for the #1 contender to the WWF Women's Title)

Lockup, Trish gets hiptossed. Both ladies are back up - lockup, scoop and a slam from Molly. Lockup, armdrag, and Molly puts on an armbar. Trish fights to her feet. She tries to reverse - but Molly gets her back on the ground. Trish back to her feet - sucker punch right in the face! Whip - Molly ducks a clothesline, hangs onto the ropes, and heads out to the floor. Trish sees an opening, and delivers a baseball slide dropkick. Face to the announce desk - and Molly is rolled in. Trish with a whip - ducks down, but Molly stops her momentum and drives Trish back towards the mat. She comes off the ropes now and drops a hard elbow. Cover, 1, 2, Trish kicks out. Stomp. Pick up by the hair - Trish is sent face first into the turnbuckle. The announcers apparently have nothing better to do than chat about the virginity issue. Molly picks Trish up by the hair - and swings her around. Trish tries to fight back but Molly knocks her to the ground. Trish picked up - backbreaker! Cover, 1, 2, Trish kicks out. Stomp. Molly heads up to the top rope - Molly Go Round misses! If the WWF expects me to care about the Women's division they MAY want to sell things like that rather than discuss who's cherry's been popped. Molly is up - goes to punch, but it's blocked and Trish throws several of her own. Big kick to the head, that could do it, 1, 2, Molly kicks out! Trish now isn't happy, and makes the motion that a kick is to follow. Sure enough - it does and Molly ducks. Molly with a go behind into a small package, 1, 2, Trish rolls through and gets her a handful of ass, 1, 2, 3!

Time: 3:18

Kurt Angle speaks out against Angina. I really think the WWF may have been better suited choosing someone who isn't so goofy - because I kept expecting it to be a spoof.

Terri's grinning at Bradshaw. It's just been announced that he's facing Scott Hall at Backlash this Sunday night. But first, we have some disturbing footage of what the nWo did to Kane. Sure enough, we get footage from last week of a gang beating, followed by a Kane unmasking. "Well typical nWo, typical cowards. Jumping Kane from behind 3 on 1, hit him with a board, they put him down but they didn't put him out. That was a bad mistake. But the thing Scott Hall needs to worry about is this Sunday, it's Kansas City at Backlash. You see what Scott Hall needs he probably can't buy. You see, you can go to a store, and you can go to the Planters section and you can buy alot of things. You can buy peanuts, you can buy walnuts. You can even buy macadamia nuts. But the set of nuts that Scott Hall needs, he can't buy and he doesn't have. You know, surely between him and X-Pac, if they combined, maybe they would have a full set. Put both of those onto Scott, that way when he shows up into Kansas City, you know it doesn't matter I'll kick his ass anyway. Tonight though, I have got a gift for my home people, right at the home of the Gig 'em Aggies, the twelfth man. College Station Texas, you know, I've got one of the last in the long lineage of great Texans. From Jim Bowie, from Sam Houston, from William Barret Travis at the Alamo, from George Sr. to George W., from Earl Campbell to Roger Staubach, from Tom Landry to Nolan Ryan, to Bodacious, I've got the latest, greatest Texan of 'em all, Stone Cold Steve Austin. And he's gonna walk down the aisle with me against Undertaker and the NWO, you know I could really care less how many nor how big, they can line up, they can bunch up, one thing's for sure, we're gonna drink a lotta beer tonight, and we're gonna kick a lot of ass."

Scott Hall and X-Pac have witnessed the whole thing. "What is with this Bradshaw. You know, they say there are only two things from Texas. Steers..." "Yeah, and queers!" "I don't see any horns on Bradshaw. You know he talks so tough before the match, but Sunday at Backlash he's gotta face the nWo. It's way more than he can handle. In fact tonight I say we start on him. We know The Undertaker will take care of Stone Cold, we kick Bradshaw's bones. Then Sunday at Backlash, let's do to Bradshaw what we did to Kane. Let's rip his face off!" They laugh together as we cut to...

The Coach with Lita. "I'm feeling okay Coach. You know I felt like I was getting worse sitting at home, I couldn't wait being away from the action so I had to come back. I couldn't miss another show." Coach shows some DISTURBING footage of Brock Lesnar beating up on the Hardys - only to see them come back with chair shots that didn't phaze him. This Sunday - Brock Lesnar debuts against Matt Hardy. Before we can get any thoughts, Paul Heyman comes over. "Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. You know Lita, I know your mind is on this big tag-team match tonight, but if I were you I'd start thinking about Backlash." He heads into her dressing room - and she doesn't take well to that. He's found a thong and starts playing with it as well. "Your not going say anything Lita, I am. You know Lita, I represent the next big thing, Brock Lesnar. And Brock this Sunday at Backlash can make it one of two ways. One way is to play nice with your boyfriend Matt Hardy. The other is to play rough with your boyfriend Matt Hardy. The choice Lita is yours, it all depends on how you want to play with me." And here's an evil grin. Lita's had about enough of that and slaps Paul! "Get out of my locker room NOW Paul." "You like to play rough? So do I!" Lita makes creeped out faces while Paul exits the room.

THOSE PUNK KIDS (with Lita) vs. BOOKER T and GOLDUST

Booker and Dustin attack Team Extreme right away. Jeff gets tossed out by Goldust - then as Booker whips Matt, Goldust hits a clothesline. Matt is whipped - and met with an ass to the face. Booker gets the tag. Boot to the midsection, chop, right, right, right, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, knee to the midsection, whip - Harlem sidekick misses, and Matt hits a neckbreaker. Whew! Jeff and Goldust are tagged in. Jeff attacks, goes for a whip - but it's reversed, and he comes off with a double forearm shot. Grab the legs - drops them down on the groin. Stomp - now both Hardys whip Booker across and hit the Poetry In Motion. Matt double clotheslines Booker to the floor. Back to Goldust - he gets whipped, and hit with Poetry In Motion. Boot to Goldust - Twist Of Fate! Before we can hit the Swanton Bomb though, the fans are booing and it's because Paul Heyman's made his way down. Matt takes off after him, and Paul hauls ass up the stage. Swanton Bomb hits Goldust - but Booker's there with a Harlmer sidekick. Goldust covers, 1, 2, 3!

Time: 2:13

Heyman's got a whole bag of Lita's thongs at the top of the stage now, and randomly tosses them out. Matt orders Lita to stay back as he heads up the ramp. Suddenly appears Brock Lesnar and dares Matt to charge. He does - and nails a lowblow. Here come some punches, but that won't take out the big man! Here's that inverted TKO right on the steel! Brock then takes off as we see Jeff come into the picture with a chair. Matt is out cold, and everyone gathers around. Who says male managers can't work anymore?

Triple H is next!

Here's some scenes of The Scorpion Ring. Michael Clarke Duncan mentions how funny it was seeing Rocky riding around on a camel. The Rock wound up having a good relationship with the camel in the end though.

Jim Ross stands in the ring. He reminds us that this Sunday, Triple H takes on Hulk Hogan. Before we bring out Triple H - let's go back to Smackdown! Triple H gets shoved into Hogan by Kurt Angle, which Hogan assumed was Triple H attacking - so he dropped a leg on him. Out comes Triple H. Jim Ross says that he's looking more forward to Triple H and Hogan than any other match he can ever remember. But he wonders how Triple H feels about what Hogan did to him. "You know, Hogan and I both made alot of mistakes Thursday night JR. Hogan made a mistake when he went to the ring when I specifically told him to stay out of my business. And I made a mistake when I turned my back on Hulk Hogan. But when Hulk Hogan decided to take matters into his own hands, when he decided to attack me, when he decided to give me the boot, and drop the big leg, then Hulk Hogan made the mistake, he made a BIG mistake." JR says that Hulkamania is reborn, and wonders if it's possible he can take the title at Backlash. "Oh you're right JR, Hulkamania is running wild. There is no doubt about it. And like they say, anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation. And like Hogan says, everytime you think Hulkamania is dead and gone, it rises again from the ashes. So it would be a big mistake on my part not to consider every single possibility for this match. But you know something JR, Thursday night Hulk Hogan did me a favor. His actions, his actions told me exactly how he intends to play the game. So let me do Hulk Hogan a favor. Let me answer a question for Hulk Hogan. Hogan keeps asking the question "whatchoo gonna do brother?". Well let me tell you what I'm gonna do. This Sunday at Backlash, I will make no mistakes. And Hulk Hogan, when you step into the ring with me for the Undisputed World Wrestling Federation Championship, MY champion, the answer to your question will be quite simple. I am going to kick your ass." JR says if he defends the title, he can look ahead to either Steve Austin or The Undertaker. Does he have any predictions, and does he have a preference? "You know JR, Austin and The Undertaker are no strangers to each other in the ring, and quite frankly I think this match can pretty much go either way. But it's not gonna matter. When Backlash is over, no matter who the #1 contender is, the one thing they can be sure of, is when it's over I'll be waiting, and I will be ready. So it's not gonna matter if it's Stone Cold Steve Austin, it doesn't matter if it's The Undertaker or anybody else - sooner or later everybody will come to the realization, the same realization that Hollywood Hulk Hogan will come to this Sunday. And that realization is that I am Undisputed World Wrestling Federation Champion, and I am that because I AM THE GAME. AND I AM THAT DAMN GOOD."
