Cole helps McMahan out but drops his jacket. Vince tells him that before tonight's over, he'll know the answers to his questions. Vince is here to make an impact! The next time Michael drops his jacket he'll drop the Cole, said Vince.
Hardyz w/ Lita vs. Hurricane w/ Molly and Storm w/ Ivory [WCW Tag Team Championship]
- As predicted, the Hardyz started off the PPV. They came out first, accompanied by Lita. Storm and Hurricane came out next, accompanied by Ivory and Mighty Molly. The match started off with Jeff Hardy and the hurricane. he did his usual posing around and then his usual spots. The two battled it out as The Hurricane had the slight advantage. Tag to Matt Hardy from Jeff. Double neck breaker on Matt from the challangers tonight. Matt Hardy got up on his feet and double clotheslined The Hurricane and Storm. It is now Jeff and Storm in the ring. A couple of chops and right hands. Jeff is tossed in the corner but when Storm comes to hit him, Jeff goes for the Whisper in the Wind and hits it! Matt and the Hurricane are tagged in. Neckbreager on the Hurricane from Hardy. The hardyz are in advantage as they are both in the ring now. Storm is tossed in the corner, Matt gets down and Jeff goes at the other end. POETRY IN MOTION! They go for the same move on Hurricane but he moves out of the way. Both men are down. Matt goes for a leg drop from the top rope and he gets it in. He then goes for the Twist of Fate on the Hurricane but Storm interferes. The Hurricane and Lance Storm give Matt Hardy a double superkick to the face! Ouch... Ivory and Lita are now battling it out as it all began from Molly. Lita takes care of the other 2 ladies and gets on the top rope. Hurricarana on Lance Storm!!! Matt hits The Twist of Fate on the Hurricane. Jeff climbs the ropes and does the Swanton Bomb on the European Champion! Matt pins him. 1-2-3.
WINNERS: STILL WCW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS - THE HARDY BOYZ
SUNDAY NIGHT HEAT NOTES
- The Show was pretty much used to hype up the big PPV event that is coming up after it. Though some important announcements were made.
- Mick Foley was asked by Lillian Garcia what does he think about Vince coming back and how can that affect the main event? Mick cut her off and said that today's main event will be a NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH, just to make it interesting...
- The APA defeated Hugh Morrus and Chris Kanyon in a fair match, after Bradhsaw got the Cltohesline from Hell on Kanyon.
- Packages of tonight's matches were shown, as well as packages of the Dudleyz from earlier today.
- WCW Cruiseweight Championship:
* Billy Kidman defeated Scotty 2 Hotty after a roll up. The important thing is that he had his feet on the ropes, and won by cheating (heel way of winning). After the match Billy celebrated, but Scotty got up, gave him the Bulldog and got the W-O-R-M in.

PREDICTIONS and THOUGHTS
- Hey everyone! Tomorrow, the WWF will present their annual No Mercy PPV. As usual, WWF Recap and Thoughts (yours truly's site) will have LIVE COVERAGE of the PPV, in a match-by-match reports updated throughout the night. Below are the predictions and my thoughts for tomorrow.
* Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Kiebler [Lingergie Match]
- The reason I start with this match is simply becaue it is the last one on the card and I'll be making my way through from the bottom to the top. I really don't need to be getting in deep thoughts about who is going to win or lose. This match is on the card so it can get more people to order the PPV, the kind of people that order it just for some T & A. Both girls will show it off for sure. A possible interference by Trish? or Lita? or Anyone? I don't know.. Does it Matter?
MY PREDICTION: TORRIE WILSON
* Kane vs. Test [WWF vs. Alliance]
- This match is certainly important for Test, not so much for Kane. Test was named Alliance MVP and has also been a big player ever since he switched to the Alliance. He finally was given that big push everyone was waiting for, and so far he's been doing good with it. Since he wasn't given a match at Unforgiven, I would expect him to pick the win in this one. However, this match also depends on the bout between Undertaker and Booker T in a way. If Test wins, his "power" would definitely increase and he might be brought up to the big-time players. The Big Red Machine will remain on the same level no matter what happens if you ask me. Even if he wins, Kane will still remain in the shadow of his brother the Undertaker. It's hard to say what will happen because both men are big, and strong and they are definitely going to battle it out. If you are watching the PPV, this one should be good, unless management doesn't mess it up again.
MY PREDICTION: TEST
* Undertaker vs. Booker T [WWF vs. Alliance]
- As I stated above, this match and the Kane vs. Test bout are going to be "connected." Though I predicted Test above, the final decision of this match will be an important one. Undertaker did the job for Booker T on Smackdown! which usually means a win for the veteran. However, if there is one person from the Alliance that needs a win, that is Booker T. He lost his WCW Championship at SummerSlam, then he also lost his shot at Unforgiven, even though Shane was in the match as well. Booker T has been taken off the #2 spot in the Alliance from RVD which also got The Book Man mad and led to some confrontation with RVD which was just verbal however. Thinking about it, Undertaker is not a man who will do the job for Booker T, and if Test wins the other match, it wouldn't sound good for the Brothers of Distruction.
MY PREDICTION: THE UNDERTAKER
* The Dudleyz vs. Big Show and Tajiri [WWF Tag Team Titles]
- With the whole Invasion angle, the Dudley Boyz became top players in the WWF. They were in the main event at Invasion. After that, they kept being a part of the main event on TVs. And they still are sometimes. However, at the PPVs, they remain either midcarders, or the team to fill in for a match so to speak. The Big Show has shown good work lately as he has been on TV for a while, and Tajiri has to get back at the boys from Dudleyville since they put Torrie Wilson through a table. I don't expect the titles to change hands, since the Dudleyz are a good choice for those title and definitely a strong team. Big Show and Tajiri will have the entertaining value in this match and they'll make their presence felt for sure. The Japanese Buzzsaw has showed us a side of him that we've never seen in the WWF. With the power and size of The Big Show, one has to wonder...
MY PREDICTION: THE DUDLEY BOYZ
* Hardyz w/ Lita vs. Storm/Hurricane w/ Molly & Ivory [WCW Tag Titles]
- The Hardy Boyz were given the WCW Tag Team Titles, having in mind how many fans they have and how many girls can scream out loud when Jeff takes his shirt off during their matches. Having Lita with these 2 men, makes Team Extreme even better than it is and the fans are definitely into it. However, the Hardyz have to defend their not-that-long-ago won titles against the WWF European Champion The Hurricane and probably indeed the man with the most wrestling skills in the Alliance, Lacne Storm. As much as some people hate the Canadian, Storm is a man that is very respected for his in-ring skills, and especially those on the mic. Ever since he came to the WWF, however, Storm can never catch a break. He teamed up with Ivory which didn't really make much sense because of their age difference. Another thing.. Storm got pinned by a midget, then by Molly Holly, then Big Show chokeslammed the crap out of him at Unforgiven, and to top it all off, he's been getting matches on Heat and has been pinned lately. However, Storm has proved before that he's a serious player and he should be considered one. The titles might change hands, but I really doubt it. The APA is also involved with The Hurricane lately, so that might play some kind of a factor as well.
MY PREDICTION: THE HARDY BOYZ
* Christian vs. Edge [WWF Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match]
- Edge and Christian are without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best tag teams the WWF has had in recent years. They also have held the WWF Tag Team titles 7 times, which is something that should always be considered when talking about these 2. It should be also said that even though they were heels and won by cheating sometimes, it was clear why the WWF chose them as the winners of TLC and TLC 2. They had a much bigger investment in Edge and Christian when the duo breaks up. After teasing the audience for quite a while, and after Edge won 2001 King of the Ring, the duo finally broke up. Christian captured the IC title from his brother at Unforgiven, and Edge is now given a re-match in the anticipated Ladder Match. History has it, that most ladders match in the WWF have always been successful and the wrestlers always prove in them. Edge and Christian will have the opportunity to do exactly that tomorrow. Christian has now joined the Alliance and we saw that Stone Cold himself showed respect to the young Canadian. His newly-found friends also helped him get the better out of Edge in the past week. This usually means one thing, and in this case it would sound logical - Edge wins. Christian has been getting the better of him a little too much and Edge has to struck back. What will happen after that, we'll have to see...
MY PREDICTION: EDGE - new WWF IC Champion
* The Rock vs. Chris Jericho [WCW Championship]
- Definitely the match that no one knows the ending of. There is a lot to be said about those 2. Let's begin with the most obvious. Jericho has done it all as a face and many people feel that it's time for a change. A heel turn might be the right thing to do, and if that's what the WWF is persuing for Jericho, then definitely Rock is the man to help Y2J out. But here is the big question mark in that mini-feud - WHEN and HOW? If the turn does indeed happen at No Mercy, would that mean a change to the Alliance? Quite honestly, I don't see Jericho teaming up with Stephanie McMahan Helmsley. However, there is always Shane McMahan an Paul Heymann. Still... everything depends on the match with The Rock at No Mercy. The most logical end would be a win for The Rock and Jericho becoming a maniac and beating the crap out of The People's champ after the match with the help of a chair or whatever else. That would definitely get Jericho as a heel, but the question would be what happens next. The possiblities are countless. I don't think a Rock heel turn should be considered because it simply won't make sense and it won't do anything. One thing I do know for sure, this is not the last time these 2 are going to meet, as their feud will continue after No Mercy. What will go down depends from this Sunday and that's the only way to find out. Until then, for those who still believe in Y2J, here is somethign to consider... On Smackdown!, when Jericho did the People's Elbow, he threw his elbowpad right in The Rock's face. Hint: The Rock used to do that when he was a heel. Another hint: Rhyno attacked Rock for RVD, but could it have been for another reason? Just remember that the ManBeast is with no match for the PPV and can make his presence felt at any time... The rest is just question marks...
MY PREDICTION: THE ROCK
* Austin vs. Kurt Angle vs. RVD [WWF Chmpionship Triple Threat Match]
- Without a shadow of a doubt, a great main event for No Mercy. I am going to start on that one by saying one thing. It won't be Kurt Angle that wins the WWF Championship again. It's really sucky how Kurt has been taken off the main-event level and probably will not figure on that level for the rest of the year. Of course, everone is now concentrating on RVD and Austin as the 2 are showing the first signs of an Alliance break up. With Vince McMahan added to the mix, the questions are now even more. One other thing to consider... On Smackdown!, Kurt Angle was again bleeding in his match with RVD. Rob Van Dam's "sniff" actions have become dangerous lately as he almost cuts a wrestlers in every match. Anyway... It is for sure that the big battle will be between Mr. Monday Night and Mr. What?. Angle will be the person they'll be fighting over in a way. After all, whoever gets to pin Angle becomes the champion. Mr. McMahan will be most likely supporting RVD which will really change everything. RVD in my view is already a face after Smackdown!, and a possible break from the Alliance and switch to the WWF might happen very soon. However, there is another good angle for him. A possible feud with Austin as a leader of ECW will break ECW from WCW. Again, we really can't say much, all we can do is watch for that one. Consider that... Austin on the belt about 3 weeks ago. Angle had it for 2 weeks... It would make the belt seem like nothing if it changes hands again...
MY PREDICTION: STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN
Well there you have it... If you look at the 2 main events, my predictions are no
titles to change hands. It sure will be more interesting if one title does change
hands. If that happens, i'd say that would be Rock's title. But let's stop predicting
and sit back and enjoy a great PPV tomorrow. LIVE COVERAGE begins at 8 PM Eastern
Time, as the first updated on this site will most likely be at around 8:30 Eastern.
