Battle Royal
D-Von, Lance Storm, Test, Val Venis, Albert, Faarooq, Kidman, Randy Orton, Hardcore Holly, Chavo Guerrero, Christian, Hurricane, Godfather, Al Snow, Mark Henry, HHH, Hulk Hogan, Chris Jericho, Hugh Morrus, Kurt Angle
Tag Team Titles: Rikishi/Rico vs. Billy and Chuck
King of the Ring Qualifying Match: Christian vs. Big Valbowski
Kurt Angle vs. Hardcore Holly
Holly ducks a right hand to start and scores with a hot shot. A sleeper slows Holly down and Cole calls Holly the toughest man in WWE today. Ok then. Holly reverses into a sleeper of his own which is reversed into a belly to back suplex to put both guys down. Angle goes shoulder first into the post and a powerslam give Hardcore two.
We look back at the end of the battle royal and the announcers argue over Hogan vs. HHH.
King of the Ring Qualifying Match: Edge vs. Chris Jericho
Stacy Keibler and Dawn Marie get all catty over who gets Vince. I wonder who wrote this one.
Maven is all smiley as Torrie stands next to him. Cue Tajiri to mist her and kick him in the knee. So the medical emergency went nowhere and served to waste even more time on a show full of wasted time.
Lance Storm vs. Billy Kidman
Billy tries to fly early on but gets dropkicked off the top for his efforts. A springboard clothesline gives Storm two and a hard DDT is good for the same. The half crab is broken up but Storm crotches him to avoid the shooting star. Lance superkicks him for the pin to end this entertaining filler.
We look back at Jericho attacking Edge.
Hulk Hogan vs. HHH
