Dark Matches:
Brian Logan and Tracy Smothers VS. The Dupps
Your basic dark match. The short-haird Dupp began the match scratching his ass. Then they wrestled a while as the fans chant boring. The short-haired Dupp scratched his ass some more then stuck his dirty fingers into the face of one of his opponents. Dupps team up on one of their opponents and win the match.
WINNER: The Dupps
Hardcore Holly VS. Bradshaw
A pretty good match. Why wasn't this on Heat? They took outside of the ring where Bradshaw smashed Holly's head into the Time Keepers Table. Then throws a chair hitting the announcer pretty hard. They kept brawling outside of the ring and the referee called for the bell:
WINNER: No Winner. Double Count-Out
Sunday Night Heat Taping:
Essa Rios with Lita VS. Headbanger Mosh with Thrasher
A great match with a lot of aerial moves by Essa. Thrasher kept interfering by tripping up Essa then by dragging him out of the ring to give him a clothesline. Lita got upset and did a Hurricana of the steel steps to Thrasher. Then she climbed onto the top rope to give another hurricana to Mosh. The referee rang the bell.
WINNER: Mosh by DQ
Ivory and Mideon VS. Funaki and Jacqueline
A pretty boring match with Mideon dominating over Funaki. Funaki was so out of it that he tried to tag in Ivory. After Mideon powerbombs Funaki, he tags in Ivory who goes at it with Jacqueline who was quickly tagged in. Jacqueline had the upper hand and attempted a sunset flip from the apron, but Ivory held onto the ropes for the pin.
WINNER: Ivory and Mideon
Smackdown Taping:
National Anthem sung by the woman announcer they have whatever her name is.
Test VS. Crash Holly for the Hardcore Chamionship
Test comes out first with a big pop and quickly takes it outside of the ring into the arena with Crash. Test is able to throw a white trash can on Crash's head then proceeds to hit him with a chair. They work their way out of the arena to the outside of the ring. Crash moves the steel steps and tries a move on Test who quickly hits Crash with a chair: OUCH! Hardcore who had been watching from the Ovaltron decides to walk down and hits Test with the chair. Crash pins him 1-2-3.
WINNER: And new Hardcore Champion, Crash Holly.

DX is shown in their bus with the Radicals. Stephanie says its time to have some fun and a little game of you (Radicals) scratch our back, we (DX) scratch yours. Triple annouces a match between Mr. Ass and Buh-Buh Ray Dudley, then mentions something about the match involving Malenko and Saturn but I couldn't hear. Chris Benoit will take on Kane and Road Dogg, X-Pac and Triple-H will tag up against Rikishi and Too Cool. But Triple H also says that no one is to touch Cactus Jack. He's Mine.
Big Show comes out to the ring with a lot of boos and asks the fans why they hate. He says 2 months ago they were cheering him and now he doesn't know why. He complains about the fact that he never got a re-match for the Title from Triple H, then he brings up the Royal Rumble incident with the Rock. He asks them to show the tape where Rock lands on his feet first at the Rumble. He asks for them to roll it again and they do. And then he says to roll it one more time in slow-motion so everyone can see. Then the Show says he is just trying to do what's right but the fans don't seem to respond. Then Kurt Angle comes out and says he sympathizes with the Big Show. They shake hands and Angle begins to talk about his training for the 1992 Olympics. Y2J music hits and comes out with Chyna to a big pop. NASHVILLE IS JERICHO. Jericho talks about Angle's 3 I's then Jericho says that he has an "I" of his own. 'I" WILL GIVE YOU A Y2J BEATING THAT YOU WILL NEVER...you know the rest. Angle challenges him to step into the ring with him and the Show, but questions whether he can find a partner with enough intelligence as he and the Show. The Rock comes out to an even bigger pop and does his usual rountine. He says that The Big Show is right that Rock's feet touch first, he was also right in calling Big Show a Jabroni, and the people were right for booing him. The Rock says he will team up with Jericho just to get his hands on the Big Show. Then the Rock says he has some clips of his own to show. The first is of Rock making fun of the Show's chokeslam, then he asks to see it again from a different angle and just because The Big Show has a 3rd grade education, he says to show it again in slow-mo. Funny Stuff and the match is set.

Kane with Paul Bearer VS. Chris Benoit
Kane comes out first followed by Benoit and the rest of the Radicals who quickly team up on The Big Red Machine. The ref tells the Saturn, Malenko, and Guerero to leave the ring and go back to the lockers. A pretty good match follows. Kane goes for the Tombstone but Benoit breaks loose, gets the upper hand and lands the Flying Headbutt. He landed wrong though and quickly grabbed his face. Kane took over with a flying clothesline from the top rope and they take it outside of the ring. Tori makes her way down and hits Paul Bearer who promptly grabs Tori. Kane forgets about Benoit and chases Tori up the ramp. Here is where things went wrong. X-Pac snuck up behing Tori with what looked like a fire extinguisher. Tori moves out of the way but X-Pac couldn't get the device to work. Kane stands there and shrugs his shoulder and eventually decides to chase X-Pac out. The fans didn't like this outcome.
WINNER: Double Count-Out I think, but maybe Benoit snuck back into the ring for the win.
COMMERCIAL
Edge and Christian / Hardy Boyz VS. Head Cheese and Malenko/Saturn
I guess this was the match that Triple H was talking about that I couldn't hear. A pretty good match with a lot action in and out of the ring. Not to many aerials by the either team. Then Jeff Hardy gets tagged in and goes for the hurricana on Saturn. Then all hell breaks loose as all 8 men get into the ring. Saturn was suppose to trip Jeff Hardy off the ropes but Saturn didn't recover in time so Jeff did a dive into Saturn. Then somehow Jeff Hardy is brought back into the ring and goes at it with Malenko. Meanwhile, Matt Hardy climbs the top ropes to attempt a move on Head Cheese. He is pushed by Saturn and Matt falls into Edge and Christian. Saturn and Malenko then team up on Jeff and Saturn gets a bridge on Jeff for the win. Edge and Christian share some harsh words with the Hardys. Matt slaps edge pretty hard and they all brawl. Officials come out and the Hardys leave with Matt spitting at the Canadian boys. Good pop for Head Cheese.
WINNER: Head Cheese and Saturn/Malenko
COMMERCIAL
Too Cool and Rikisihi VS. Road Dogg, X-Pac, and Triple H with Tori and Stephanie
A very exciting match. Rikishi gets into the ring with a huge pop. He dominates until DX go for the injured leg of Rikishi. He tags in Scotty Too Hotty who lands the worm on either X-Pac or Road Dogg. Everybody loves the worm. Rikishi gets back in a tries to the Banzai splash on X-Pac but HHH steps in with the chair and he proceeds to do a number on Rikishi. Meanwhile, Grandmaster Sexay sets up for the Hip Hop Drop on X-Pac. He misses and X-Pac lands the X-Factor for the win.
WINNER: Road Dogg, X-Pac, and Triple H
COMMERCIAL
The Goddfather and D'Lo VS. Big Bossman and Prince Albert
The Goddfather bring his Nashville Ho's but does no mike work. A pretty lame match. D'Lo goes for the 2nd rope spring board and screws up and falls on Prince Albert. Then Tazz comes out, hits Bossman, hits Albert and the Goddfather executes the Pimp Drop on the human pin cushion.
WINNER: The Goddfather and D'Lo
Clip of Cactus Jack is show backstage.
COMMERCIAL
JR comes out to his OK fight song and calls out Cactus Jack. Cactus comes on to talk about his many accomplishments (3 time World Champ, 8 time Tag Champ, Original Hardcore Champ, King of Japanese Death Match, Best-Time Seller Author). He talks about how no one thought he was WWF Champ material. He then talks about the Thrilla in Manila and he thinks he is like Joe Frazier in that he doesn't think he could finish the final round. He then talks about the Hell In A Cell Match with Undertaker and the injuries he suffered (all legit) and that in No Way Out, he plans to go out swinging or not go out at all.
He then thanks Worchester, Mass. where he won his first WWF championship title and he thanks the people for reading his book. And then he says in case this is his last time on SmackDown he thanks all the Mick Foley fans out there. Cactus begins to cry as he walks up the ramp. Stephanie comes out and complains about the $5,000 worth of damage he did to Stephanie's $350,000 bus. Stephanie then brings out the cops who arrest Mick Foley who goes quietly. HHH comes out to see him off.
COMMERCIAL
Clips are show backstage of Cactus being put in a cell. I think its the same cell that HHH was in that was hanging over the ring during a match a while back.
Sexual Chocolate Mark Henry VS. Viscera No DQ
Not to much of a reaction. If any it was for Mae Young who didn't make it to the ring. Not much time passes before the Acolytes come out and beat up on Mark Henry allowing Vis to get the big splash. Then Vis picks up the mic and says he could beat Mark Henry any day but today he thought he would let these 2 punk Acolytes to do it. The Acolytes, who were about to leave, step back into the ring. Farooq grabs the mic tells Mark Henry sorry but business is business...on the other hand...BOOM. Farooq hits Vis and the Acolytes do a number on him before leaving.
WINNER: Viscera by pinfall.
Tripe H and Stephanie are backstage and they say they will take over guarding Cactus Jack who is now in the cell.
COMMERCIAL
Triple H and Stephanie taunt Cactus with the keys but won't let him out.
Mr. Ass Billy Gunn VS Buh-Buh Ray Dudley with D-Von
Mr. Ass comes out and does some mic work. He says that he is an expert on asses and that Buh-Buh Ray is definitely a dumb ass. Buh-Buh Ray comes out D-Von and they go at for a pretty long while. I was distracted by some security guards who were escorting a woman out of the arena. Strange. Anyways, Mr. Ass seems to have the match as he goes into the ropes, D-Von pulls the top rope down and Mr. Ass falls to the floor. The ref rings the bell as the Dudleys break out a table and set it up in the middle of the ring. Buh-Buh Ray stands on the table as Road Dogg runs out, low blows Buh-Buh Ray, takes out D-Von, and Mr. Ass executes the Fameasser on Buh-Buh Ray through the table. AMAZING! Mr. Ass had to get some elevation of that manuever becomes Buh-Buh Ray was still standing on the table. Mr. Ass walks out pretty quickly as he took the move hard. The Dudleys later walk out with Buh-Buh Ray stumbling almost off the ramp.
WINNER: Mr. Ass by DQ.
COMMERCIAL
OK. Paul Bearer runs out with Kane and Tori again. I guess they are trying to re-shoot the mess up with the fire extinguisher with X-Pac. I guess X-Pac is not good a putting any kind of fire out :). Anyways Road Dogg comes out and nails Kane. He is flat out on the ramp as Tori stands over hime. Road Dogg leaves and Kanes gets up and chases Tori up the ramp again. X-Pac comes out again in the same way as earlier. There is a brief pause, then X-Pac shoots a fire ball into Kane's face. It wasn't a fire extinguisher. Kane grabs his face in pain as officials and paramedics come out to help.
ANOTHER BREAK
Triple H knocks down the set that is around Cactus Jack's cell backstage and now we see that the DX Express is right behind the cell with a chain connecting the two.
Kurt Angle and Big Show VS. Jericho w/ Chyna and The Rock
WINNER: Kurt Angle and The Big Show by DQ
