After the brand split, we've got a whole new Heat. It's taped before RAW instead of Smackdown and our announcers are Johnathan "Coach" Coachman and Ra "Raven" ven.
Really surprised to see Scott Hall walk out here for a Heat match. The nWo has fallen real fast in 6 weeks from their debut. Even more surprised that Hall is battling Crash Holly of all people. Raven says the show is going to be mundane but he will make it better with his commentary. Way to get me invested, Johnny Polo. Scott Hall played the hits, fall away slam, abdominal stretch, second rope fall away slam, Razor's Edge. 1-2-3. Crowd popped for Hall calling for the Razor's Edge because they are smart.
Jerry Lawler is backstage interviewing Jazz, about her title defense tonight against Jackie. Jazz says Jackie has no chance because she is a skank. Jackie steps into screen to ask, "Who are you calling a skank, skank?" Jazz seems surprised by her appearance even though she was clearly only a few feet away when the interview began. Jazz informs Jackie that is was indeed, Jackie herself that Jazz was calling a skank and that she should know that because she does not stutter. Jazz thumps the belt of off Jackie's head and the brawl is on.
Here comes Tommy Dreamer, who has won all of two televised matches in his WWF career to this point. He has defeated Tajiri and Kai En Tai during September on this here very Sunday Night Heat. Someone needs to sit Tommy Dreamer down and ask him why Japanese people really fire him up. Tommy has some soul searching to do. His opponent, Sean Stasiak, not Japanese so my money is on Staskiak. This is both of their first matches on TV since the Invasion. It's the movable object vs resistible force. Coach and Raven are giving this match all of the respect it deserves, by talking about Eddie Guerrero attacking RVD and Undertaker being named the #1 contender by Flair until it was changed to Hogan by Vince on Smackdown. All things I would rather be thinking about too. Raven finally talks about the match in that Tommy Dreamer is tough from all of their battles in ECW. Coach adds that Stasiak isn't the most intelligent but this abdominal stretch is effective. Dreamer sells a right side injury, but continues to bring the attack to Stasiak to the silence of the crowd. Dreamer's ribs give out on a maneuver and Stasiak capitalizing for the victory.
We get a recap of Flair and Vince trying to talk Austin into signing with their shows, which led to Austin signing with Raw and stunning both Vince and Flair.
We've got our Women's Title match on deck, sponsored Castrol GTX and Nissan. Coach and Raven mention that the Forcible Entry compact disc has debuted at #3. #1 you ask?

This banger of a 2002 time capsule. Jaxz attempts to take a powder but Jackie brings her back to the ring where a distracted ref misses a pin by Jackie, which Jazz turns into a tights aided rollup to retain the title.
Now it's time for our Tough Enough season 2 recap. Matt Morgan has to bow out of the compeition beause of knee injury. The rest of the cast head to see a live WWF event and then cut their own promos which are all generic and bad.
Be sure to order WWF Backlash to see Triple H defend against Hulk Hogan.
It's main event time. Big Show vs Goldust. Raven mentions that last year at Backlash he had this banger.
Big Show tosses Goldust into the ring post but Show gets caught coming in the ring. Coach speculates what kind of mood, Steve Austin will be in tomorrow night on Raw. I'm going to take a guess and say fun and fancy free. Goldust has taken show down to his knee with sleeper hold. Raven mentions that he is member of MENSA for the fourth time tonight. Big Show powers out, chucks around Goldust and then holds Goldust in the air during the finishing chokeslam for an impressive amount of time.
