-Hogan enters Vince's office. Stacy goes to get Vince water. Vince has a question- does Hogan believe in deja vu? Vince thinks he's experienced all this before.

Will he become champ this Sunday? What's Hogan gonna do?

Does he know that some wrestlers are betting for him, and some are betting against? He doesn't care how they bet. He's going to prove to the world that he's the World's Strongest Man. Henry goes down the ramp to the car. Test checks to see if it is a real car. Test tries to lift it, but can't. Test puts 110 bucks down that Henry can't lift it. Henry sits in the open side door, and pushes up with his shoulders against the roof, and lifts the two and a half ton car! Test shortchanges Farooq on the bet, then hits Farooq with the car door. Test scoop slams Farooq onto the hood of the car. The other wrestlers break the two up.

Commercial break.

-Hogan comes out. It's still running wild, he says, without a doubt. He's been hearing the word reality a lot. is it reality that Hogan will win the title at Backlash? As Vince often says, perception is reality. He never thought he'd be back in the WWF. He never thought he'd be cheered by 67,000 Hulkamaniacs at Wrestlemania. He never thought that Hulkamania would be alive today, stronger than ever. Whether Vince calls it perception or reality, he's loving every second. he's got a title shot. He took the title for granted when he had it. But it's been a long time since he had it, and he realizes how percious it is. This may be his last chance. With all that said, it may be sentimental crap, but this is reality. He believes he can do it. The fans believe he can do it. And Triple H better believe he can do it. What's he gonna do? Jericho coes out. He wants to talk reality? Reality is that Hogan is a farce, a joke, and a has-been. Jericho has news for "Grandpa"-Hulkamania ended with Rubik's Cube and "Where's the Beef?". The fact that he has a title shot and Jericho doesn't even have a match is a travesty. What has he ever dne? He sold a few shirts and had a cartoon. Big friggin' deal! Jericho was the first Undisputed Champion. Triple H robbed him of the title. Jericho's going to enjoy when Trips rips Hogan apart, because at least Triple H beat the best-Jericho. Hogan came back for one match and didn't even win it. He still gets a title shot and fans following his every move. Why doesn't Jericho just shut up? If he's got a problem, he can come to the ring and say it to Hogan's face, dude (yes, he really said "dude"). Jericho obliges and comes to the ring. He says he's been waiting a long time for...Hogan takes it to Jericho. Angle comes down and takes it to Hogan. Edge comes down. Hogan and Edge toss Angle and Jericho out of the ring.

Commercial break.

-Vince yells at Edge. He wants an explanation. No, he just wants Edge gone. Edge says Vince is scared. Is he scared of what Edge is going to do to Vince's lapdog? Or maybe he's scared if Edge. He should be. He'll leave...for now. Stacy enters and says that Vince looks upset. Anything she can do? He tells her to bring Triple H to his office.

Test vs. Farooq
-Test comes down to the ring. Farooq comes down. Test takes it to Farooq. Clothesline by Farooq. Flapjack into the turnbuckle by Test. Clotheslines in the corner by Test. Test hits smashmouths into the sacrum of Farooq (it's not as gross as it looks, it just means lower spine). On the third smashmouth, Farooq turns over and hits a low blow. Two clotheslines and a Powerslam by Farooq, 1-2-kickout. Test covers with his feet on the ropes, 1-2-Teddy Long stops the count. Test coutners the spinebuster with fists to the face. Flying shoulderblock by Farooq. Farooq counters the Pump Handle Slam and covers Test with his feet on the ropes, 1-2-3!
Here is your winner- Farooq
-After the match, Test hits Farooq with the Big Boot.

-Stacy comes into Trips' lockerroom. He says that he knows she thinks he's hot, she can't just barge into his room to stare at him. As if, she says. He takes of his shirt, and Stacy gets all 'guh'-like. She says that Vince wants to see him in his office. He'll get there when he's ready.

Commercial break.

-Sharmell asks Hardcore Holly for his thoughts. Here's a thought- Him whooping DDP's ass. Then he can ask him "How do you like me now?". He sees DDP and asks him what he's smiling about. DDP says maybe it's about a big bully who picks on people while they're working. And it's really pissing him off. And that's not a bad thing, it's a good thing (this segment was obviously running for the "Complete Waste of Airtime" Award). -Triple H enters Vince's office. He tells Stacy he'll see her back at the hotel. She leaves. Vince says Triple H has been to Hell and back for the title. Is he capable of driving a spear into the heart of Hulkamania? If not, Hogan will be on RAW and Smackdown!, but Triple H will solely belong to Smackdown!

Commercial break.

Diamond Dallas Page vs. Hardcore Holly
-DDP comes out. Hardcore Holly comes out next. Clothesline and a neckbreaker by DDP. Flapjack onto the turnbuckle by Holly. Clothesline and suplex by Holly. Hardcore goes up top, but DDP knocks him down and hits a huge superplex. Clothesline by DDP, 1-2-kickout. Holly reverses the Diamond Cutter and hits a Standing Dropkick for the 1-2-3!
Here is your winner- Hardcore Holly
-After the match, Holly talks trash to DDP. The two go back at it, and DDP hits the Diamond Cutter.

-Angle warms up when Jericho comes out. Now Angle has more of a reason to beat the crap out of Edge. Also, they have more of a reason to beat down both of the HHH's. Angle will lock in the Anglelock and suck the life out of Hogan. Angle tells Jericho not to use the word "suck". He doesn't suck! He's an Olympic Gold Medalist. He's a hero! They go to the ring.

Commercial break.

-Out comes D-Von, all revved up (get it? He's in priest clothing...all "rev"ved up? Man, I kill me). He's got new choir music and is announced as Vince McMahon's Spiritual Advisor. D-Von stands here as a humble servant of the Man Above. Testify! Two weeks ago, a great prophet told D-Von to leave the WWF and find himself. He found himself and the Man Above. He found redemption and piece of mind. He wants everyone to know that great prophet- a wealthy, powerful man- Vince McMahon. He can show us the light. He and vince are strong, while everyone else is wicked. Vince set D-Von on solid ground, and he can do it for us. This sermon is over. D-Von gets people in the front to pay to the collection plate.

Man of the Night- The Hurricane. Just because he's the man. And he has the best entrance video.

Match of the Night- Tajiri/Guererro vs. Hurricane/Kidman. What a great tag match. Lots of inventive, cool looking moves. The crowd wasn't that into it, but it was great. The Cruiserweight division is looking pretty good to me right now.

Quotation of the Night- "Stacy, you can't make me come just because you tell me to."- Triple H, after Stacy tells him to come to Vince's office.
