MANKIND BECOMES REGAINS THE WWF TITLE WITH THE AID OF A FORKLIFT: We start tonight’s program with highlights from the “Empty Arena” match between the Rock and Mankind.

SHANE McMAHON is in charge again tonight because his father Vince McMahon is away on special assignment in Victoria, Texas to provoke and confront Stone Cold Steve Austin. Last time Shane was in charge, that worked out real well. He is backstage talking to the BIG BOSS MAN, KEN SHAMROCK, and TEST. Shane knows that the Rock is on his way, but wants to know where Kane is at. Nobody wants to travel with that big red retard (Shane’s words, not mine!), so nobody knows where he’s at. Shane taps on Chyna’s dressing room door alerting her it’s time to go to the ring when Boss Man bumps into TERRI and JACQUELINE. He points his finger in Terri’s face and calls her a “bitch”. Whoa! Now hit that RAW intro.

Read along if you have the WWE Network!

We start the show with an EPIC video package highlighting the Hell in a Cell from last Sunday between Batista and the Undertaker – including the finish where Edge made his return and screwed over the Undertaker to help Batista win.

Next thing we know, we’re in Smackdown GM Vickie Guerrero’s office where she lays down the law with Edge about his actions – and then punishes him with a world title match next week. HUH? OHHHH, it seems Vickie has a thing for tall, skinny, long blonde-haired Canadians and she makes out with Edge real big. That’s a hop, skip, and a jump from the usual short, muscly-armed, mullet-wearing Mexicans she’s typically attracted to.

From Vince McMahon’s office, he and Jonathan Coachman try to hash out who his bastard child is. Vince recalls banging some black chick in Kansas City – where Coach was born. And wound up being black in Kansas City. In the 1970s. Vince is disgusted by even the mere thought of having Coach as a son. Hasn’t Shane and Stephanie tried to do horrible things to you over the years? What has Coach done that’s so bad except EVERYTHING YOU EVER ASK OF HIM? Poor Coach. No respect.

Your hosts are Michael Cole, JBL, and Jim Ross.
