Start of the Show:

Eugene’s music hits as he comes to the ring with Christy Hemme in her cheerleading outfit. Hogan will meet face to face tonight with Shawn Michaels but for now we have the Eugene Gold Medal invitational. Eugene gets on the mic with a Hulkamaniac T-shirt and he says Hogan is here tonight and he is his favorite and his friend. Christy says it’s time for the invitational and she wants the crowd to spell the name of Eugene. She says “give me an E” and so on but before she can finish the music of Kurt Angle hits and he makes his way to the ring. Decent cheers for Angle with only a few “you suck” chants. Angle enters the ring as Eugene scratches his head in awe. Angle says enough is enough as the crowd chants his name! He says he is tired of all this crap, he asks where he is and then says Eugene is in his hometown baby! He’s the hometown hero here; Pittsburg, Pennsylvania! The crowd chants more for Angle as Angle then says Hogan isn’t even a big as hero as he is here. Eugene says he’s a gold medalist and the crowd BOOS him. Then they chant that he sucks as he and Angle fight over whether or not he is a gold medalist. Angle then finally turns on the crowd calling them blue collar idiots. Eugene goes to say he said a bad word but Angle kicks him in the gut.

Eugene Invitational: (Referee: Michael Chioda)

Angle works Eugene early and backs him into a corner before shoving the referee. Angle gives Eugene a backbreaker for a two count and afterwards Eugene backs him into a corner.

Angle slams Eugene’s head off the buckle but Eugene hulks up and punches Angle! Angle ducks a blow though and nails Eugene with a german suplex. Angle pulls down his straps as the crowd roars but he goes for Eugene and Eugene ducks a blow and Angle nails the referee.

He says he’s going to look real pretty face down after Viscera gives him the Viscagra!

J.R and the King talk about Hardy and they cut live after some highlights to Edge and Lita. J.R asks Edge what he thinks about Vince rehiring Matt Hardy. Edge says it was a genius idea and it was actually his idea. Lita is in a neckbrace as Edge says that they are locked up in a locker room guarded by security but they don’t need them. Edge says he wants the security to leave and at SummerSlam what he does to Matt will be a legal assault. Edge then goes OFF on Hardy saying what he said last week was pathetic and he says he wants Matt to be safe unlike what Matt said to him about a car accident. Edge says Matt should thank him and says he never got reactions like this before and he’s here now because he is rdiding Edge’s coat tails. He says while Matt was busy with cruiserweights and his MF’ers, Edge was wrestling Benoit and Angle. Edge said he earned his main event stripes and Lita is with a main eventer now. He talks a bit more about his stripes, saying Matt’s 15 minutes of fame are over. He and Lita make out before it all cuts off.

Easy E comes to the ring and huge Jericho as the crowd boos. Jericho says he’s so happy he wants to shake Eric’s hand again (he does). Bischoff says he hopes the people enjoy John Cena’s video premiere for “Right Now” because after Summerslam when Jericho wins the title all Cena will have in his life will be his music career.

John Cena’s music video plays next. It’s pretty good but once again his verse is weaken than his sidekick’s verse. Most of the video is about him as a kid wanting to become a professional wrestler. The crowd mostly boos the clip but many of them are cheering. It’s decent music, better than half the crap MTV has, why do they boo?

HBK is shown walking to the ring as he will confront Hogan face to face next!

HBK and Hogan: Face to Face

Two podiums are set up as The King is in the ring awaiting both of them. Next week Hogan will face Angle, Cena will take on Jericho and Carlito and the Diva Search will come to an end! King gets on the mic and says it is his honor to introduce the two superstars. First, the icon, the showstopper… Shawn Michaels! HBK hits the ring after his ramp entrance and fireworks. The crowd is mostly mixed, Jim Ross is not really pinning him as the bad guy. His opponent, the legendary, the immortal, Hulk Hogan! The two men stare down as the King promotes the whole ordeal. Michaels butts in and says he wants to thank Hogan on behalf of the fans for actually showing up here tonight and gracing them with his appearance. King asks if the people are happy to see Hogan and they cheer but clearly Michaels is building a small army against him. King says his first question is for HBK. The King asks HBK about what Hogan said on Larry King about trying to get to the “upper tier.” HBK asks if everyone thinks he is jealous of Hogan. He says there is NOTHING about Hogan or his life that he desires! As far as he is concerned, in this ring, Hogan can’t touch him! HBK said maybe what King meant to say is whether or not he was upset that one of his piers made a comment about him in such a way. HBK says Hogan made a career on personality and show! He says at SummerSlam, no amount of that can mean anything when he faces the Showstopper. King then asks Hogan about the promo that Michaels cut last week but before Hogan can answer, HBK butts in. HBK says for the first time in his career, Hogan will have to deal with the truth, deal with someone that does not sweat him. Not out here, back there, not anywhere. He will be the first guy not to buckle under the image of Hulkamania. What are they going to do? Fire him? He’s been fired before, but they always bring him back and you want to know why? WWE doesa not exist without the Showstopper! King asks if Hogan can answer one question, but HBK says he is the realest thing on TV right now and at SummerSlam he is going to kick Hogan’s teeth down his throat. He then goes on to say even if Hogan’s false teeth are in the hotel room.. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING BROTHER! Hogan comes in and says if HBK wanted a match all he had to do was ask! He said instead he gave him a cheap shot. Hogan then mentions Bret Hart and the backstabbing. HBK looks angry at the comment. “You screwed Bret” chants start up. HBK tells the crowd “Don’t you forget it!” Then he says Hogan is next! Hogan says every time HBK comes out to the ring it’s for him. Hogan says when HBK left the WWE he lost his smile, but Hogan comes here for THEIR smile (the crowd). Hogan gets the crowd pumped up a bit. Hogan says if the people want him to kick Shawn Michael’s ass, then he’s going to do just that! Hogan says they are at the crossroads, where everyone has to ask themselves the question. What are you gonna do? It’s clear Michaels is winning over some people. King asks HBK what he IS going to do. Michaels simply stares down Hogan before leaving the podium and giving Lawler a super kick! Hogan points at Michaels and Michaels fires on him. Hogan fights back and nails HBK with a big boot before tossing him out of the ring! Hogan removes his belt and stares Michaels down as Michaels looks a tiny bit shell shocked on his way up the ramp! The two men stare and mock each other as Raw goes off the air!
