The show starts with a recap of last week’s “You’re Fired Match” where Chris Jericho lost and got fired from the WWE. Since then Jericho’s picture and profile have been removed from WWE.com. The also showed Bischoff announce Kurt Angle as the new number one contender.
Carlito’s was the first music played and he came down to the ring for Carlito’s Cabana. Carlito looks like he has a pile of poop under his nose the way it’s wrinkled up. He comments that since Jericho is gone there is no more Highlight Reel... “And that’s cool.”
He announces his guest for the night Shawn Michaels. HBK comes to the ring still mismatched, but no where near as bad as last week. At least this week his clothes didn’t make my eyes hurt.
Carlito admits that he admires HBK. HBK says there’s a lot to admire. Carlito says that HBK has paved the way for guys like him. But now he’s a guest on The Cabana, in all of Carlito’s glory. Carlito looked up to him, now HBK looks up to Carlito.
HBK cuts him off and says he can’t handle any more ego in his career. He has a few questions for Carlito. Like how long ago did he win the IC title? Hogan chants start here. HBK asks if people are talking about Carlito’s matches? No, and not because they are talking about HBK’s matches, but because Carlito’s hasn’t really had any matches. Not the title that makes the man, it’s the man who makes the title.
Carlito says no one has the cahones to face him. Even Flair backed down to Carlito. Carlito tells HBK there’s a pecking order around here. Carlito is way up here (over his head), and HBK is down here (on the floor).
Carlito isn’t happy with being insulted and picks up an apple. HBK tells him if he takes a bite of it he will kick it down his throat. Carlito tells him to calm down and introduces Chris Masters.
Masters comes to the ring without his usual hype. HBK is between the two heels. Masters cuts HBK down and throws him mic down. HBK says he should know by now to not get into situations like this and attacked Masters. He went back and forth between Carlito and Masters, but they got the upper hand and started beating him down.
When HBK was on the mat Masters said it was time for the Masterlock. Before he could get HBK into the hold Flair’s music hit and he ran to the ring to rescue HBK. Between the two men they cleared the ring of Masters and Carlito. The thing I didn’t understand was two heels against two heels in the ring. It’s not a common occurrence.

Out back shows Masters and Carlito yelling at Bischoff. Bisch says the Masterlock Challenge is going to be next week. Instead there will be a tag match between Flair and HBK against Carlito and Masters.
Big show comes out for a handicap match. There were already two unknowns in the ring waiting for him. I think their names were Quartermain and Madison, but I’m not quite sure.
Show takes immediate control of both men with chest slaps, throws and slams. Both men get tossed around the ring like rag dolls. Show grabbed them both and nailed a Double Headbutt. Both men ended up outside and he picked them both up by their heads, and they finally started to fight back. They tried to Suplex Show together. He reversed it into a Double Suplex. He then nailed a Double Chokeslams and pinned them both.
After the bell Snitsky jumped Show. They went back and forth for a moment until Show threw Snitsky from the ring taking out the timekeeper and a camera man. Snitsky grabbed the ring bell and climbed back in the ring. He nailed Show with the bell in the side of the ring, but it didn’t drop him. So Snitsky nailed him with it again in the back of the head laying Show out on the mat. Snitsky stood over Show and gloated.
-Winner: Big Show
