SHOW
OPENER PROMO
There
is no reason why a 500 pound big, nasty giant shouldn't be crushing
Superstars and champions. He blames WWE officials for being scared
that Big Show could capture WWE gold and literally never lose it.
Well, Big Show is here to make those nightmares come true and he is
here to crush everybody's favorite Superstars and tonight he's got
his sights set on one fan favorite in particular.
Big
Show battles Chris Jericho '00 on the mic and gets verbally
manhandled, provoking The Big Show into laying out Jericho with a
viciously, powerful low kick. A brawl erupts that Big Show gets the
better of. The official gets the word that this match is to be made
official, taking place right now.

LAST
WEEK ON SMACKDOWN '00: Jamie Noble picked up a huge upset victory
over The Godfather. To add insult to injury, the diminutive Jamie
Noble put the boots to Godfather after the match. Since them, The
Godfather has understandably requested a rematch. Was Noble's win a
fluke? Was Godfather having an off-day? Was it simply the work of
Noble's technical prowess?

MONDAY NIGHT ON RAW: The Nation of Domination defeated the World
Tag Team Champions The Rock 'n' Sock Connection and Hardcore Holly in
a six-man tag team match when Kama Mustafa got the big victory for
his team with his pinfall on Mankind.
IN
THE BACKSTAGE AREA: Faarooq is proud of Kama Mustafa for bringing
victory to The Nation of Domination and raising their profiles while
reaching new heights to his own careers, breaking through ceilings
that he surely would not have broken through without The Nation of
Domination by his side. And tonight, Kama will showcase this all
firsthand when he beats mankind one on one.
IN
THE BACKSTAGE AREA: An uncomfortable Hardcore Holly meets with
Mankind and delivers a message whether Mankind comprehends it or not.
Holly says that The Rock doesn't care about Mankind unless it
directly involves The Rock and tag team gold. As a result, Holly
knows that The Rock will most likely be too busy and self-centered to
be in Mankind's corner tonight against The Nation of Domination so
“The Alabama Slamma” himself will be in Mankind's corner tonight.
As
Hardcore Holly goes to leave, Mankind chuckles and says that if Holly
wasn't challenging Faarooq for the Intercontinental Championship at
Backlash, Holly would most likely not be in this locker room speaking
to Mankind right now. Holly pursed his lips in a slight smirk and
tells him that he's probably right but he'll still see Mick out
there.
