TV 14 DLV entertainment CC open fireworks 

Shannon Moore is not a heel right now (Ashboro, NC, 195 pounds, w/Last Thursday, 7) vs WWE Tag Team Champion Chavo Guerrero (El Paso, TX, 213 pounds, 8) - wait, did he move? Shannon is noticeably not showing any ill-affects from what we see in this clip here, despite the announcers trying to drive it home otherwise. You wonder if they had figured by this point [when they taped this match] what was going to happen, or if someone just didn't think about Shannon needing to sell for an injury he hadn't had yet. Hey wow, the battle for the cellar. Your announcers are Tough Enough One's Josh Matthews and Time To Say My Catchphrase. I have no idea what they're talking about any more. Circle. Lockup. Waistlock by Chavo, standing switch by Shannon, Chavo with a fireman's carry takedown, and now an armbar. Shannon kips up, armdrag. Shannon goes after Chavo but Chavo hides in the ropes. Lockup - no, Chavo with a kick. Forearm. Turnbuckle smash. Kick, kick, kick. Corner whip, Chavo a charges in, Shannon kips up and out, hey it's the K-Kwik pointless flip (lands on his knees), Chavo charges out into an armdrag. Wheel kick one two no. Corner whip, Shannon charges in with jumping hip block. One two no. Right. Forearm, whip, clothesline (I guess) misses, Chavo slides under but gets popped into a clothesline anyway. Chavo begs off into the corner, Shannon with another running hip block but Chavo caught him - side back breaker. Stomp. Back suplex. One two no. Well Chavo's nice enough to work the non-existent injury. Josh has been talking about an "incident" between Brock and Angle and the uncertainty of next week's Show/Angle matchup, but not really elaborating on either point. Crowd getting on Chavo. Snap mare. Dropkick to the face, one two NO. Chinlock. Cat and Josh are boring me now, even though Cat's trying WCW continuity - they do bring up Chavo/Kidman from last week. Shannon battles out, off the ropes, Chavo with a knee lift but Shannon with an inside cradle one two NO. Chavo with a knee lift. European uppercut. Chop. Right. Chavo off the ropes, right into a jumping side kick by Shannon. Cat: "He's tough. Not a quitter. Like you, kid." Kick. Whip, backdrop. Shannon with a kick, off the ropes and a flipping swinging neckbreaker one two no. Shannon with a corner whip, charge in and backdropped to the apron. Shannon pulls Chavo down, going up - Halo one two NO! Shannon with a front facelock - hey, Twist Of Fate? Nah, Chavo escapes, kick to the midsection, Gory Bomb - one two three. (4:34) Watch that ladder change - they think Chavo should be #1 contender. Cat sings along with Chavo's music. 

Still to come, Kurt Angle is the new champion.

Still to come, Dawn and Torrie.

RAW Retro - the first RAW, 1/11/93.

Rikishi (350 pounds) vs Andy Anderson (225 pounds, already in the ring) - yea, right. Wasn't Andy a WWE developmental guy in Puerto Rico for the longest time? It's a Rikishi match so who knows if he's any good. There are color commentators doing indy shows that are better than the Cat. There are drunk bums who are more coherent than the Cat. Not that I have issues with drunk bums. The closed captioning people still call him Pat, you know. Rump Shaker (3:14)

Up next, they'll show about :15 of what they saw on Armageddon.

Armageddon footage goes the same length as SmackDown (:14) and from SmackDown (5:57)

Still to come, Kurt and Brock.

Up next, Bill DeMott. 

JVC No Laughing Matters of Thursday

Tough Enough 3 highlights - all about Jonah. (3:00)

Bill DeMott (280 pounds) vs Michael Shane (already in the ring) - And he - he's a HBK guy, right. Watch me not do this match either! Cat and Josh go over that it wasn't a tag match - Bill beat up everyone by himself. whatta powerbomb. No Laughing Matter. (1:50) Cat starts talking about "187" and Josh is totally confused. Replay.

Up next, Brock is not very happy - hey, is this special post-SmackDown footage? Because I sure didn't see this bit on the show. 

Brock and Angle and Show and mostly Paul. (12:19) We see a graphic for Angle/Show, but Josh talks about an incident between Angle/Brock post show. They don't know if the match is on or not - watch SmackDown! to find out.

Lugz Nunzio Debut of 2 Weeks Ago

Kicks to the midsection. "GET UP BOY!" Corner whip, reversed, Noble rebounds into a backdrop. Drop toe hold (Josh is still calling it a STF), dropkick to the face. One two NO. Right. Right. Whip, no Jamie's got his arm locked around the ropes. Footage from post-SmackDown this week will air on next week's show. Funaki striking to get Noble to let go, whip, reversed into a flapjack onto the rope rope. Stomp. Stomp. Elbow drop. Slam. Legdrop one two no. Confidential next. Elbow drop. Back suplex but Funaki lands on top one two no. Cat's trying to be funny but coming off as crazy drunk. I think. The laughing at random points makes you wonder. Funaki with right hands, whip, reversed, Funaki ducks the back elbow, Noble grabs an arm, slides under, pumphandle Exploder is blocked with elbows. Funaki's kick is caught, the enziguri is not. One two NO. Nidia is good at ringside. Corner whip, reversed, Noble charges in, Funaki steps out - bulldog is spotted and Noble powerslams him one two NO. Noble going for the Tiger Bomb, but Funaki with a double leg takedown - into a slingshot into the turnbuckles, bulldog! Josh is not ignoring the Cat like I am - one two NO. Backslide - no Jamie breaks loose, so Funaki hits a short clothesline. Josh: "Nidia has a lot of integrity." No context. Turnbuckle smash, right, chop, right, chop, right, chop, Funaki working him over. Corner whip, reversed, what the HECK is CAT talking about. Noble runs into an aback elbow - Funaki going for a swinging DDT but Noble breaks loose, and is chopping him. Noble pauses to taunt and gets slapped up side the head - "hahahah - that's a bitch slap! - hahahaha" and there's the swinging DDT wait no Jamie pushes him off. Funaki right hand is ducked, Noble grabs him, reverse neckbreaker. Tiger Bomb? Yes. One two three (3:44) It's OVER! Jamie has won! Nidia is euphorbic. Jamie less so. Hey, out on the stage, it's Nunzio. Jamie goes up to hug him, while Nidia lagging far behind - and that's it.
