TV 14 LV CC entertainment open yelling 

Protocol is immediately broken when Todd refers to this location as "New Jersey"; the graphic (right next to the extra TV 14 logo) says "Continental Airlines Arena", a state upon itself. Look at all these different angels we have of the same stage. Look inside. Look outside again - your hosts are Ivory, Todd and a crane camera. For sweeping shots of Ivory's dress. 

No Mercy: JBL (c) vs the Undertaker in a Last Ride match for the WWE Championship
No Mercy: Big Show vs Kurt Angle

Inside, to, as Ivory puts it "the tall, dark, and handsome Tazz and oh my man - or should I say Heidenreich's man, Michael Cole! Hahaha gotcha." Someone check her drugs. Tazz says two thirds of Ivory's compliment are correct - wait, two? Wait, Cole agrees? Cole tells us Big Show is so angry about Kurt shaving part of his head that he shaved the rest of his head! That doesn't make any sense!  

No Mercy: Booker T (c) vs John Cena in Match 5 of the Best of 5 Series for the Undisputed United States Championship
No Mercy: Paul London vs Billy Kidman

London/Kidman video package! Huh. Look back at their storied two months! as a tag team. HEY JAMIE NOBLE (boy). You'd kinda think he still should be involved in this. Also Chavo. We are reminded again we don't know why Kidman agreed to the tag team title match if he didn't want to wrestle. Hey, it occurs to me now that London stands a pretty good chance of winning here, seeing as Kidman can't actually do his finisher. They do a good job making this epic and stuff and I hope everything coming out of this matches what went into it. (3:32)

Josh attempts to interview Billy Kidman, but doesn't get thru his question before Kidman cuts him off: "Wait a minute, do not try and tell me how emotional the last six weeks have been, because you have absolutely no idea. Nobody out there knows the pain I've gone thru since this whole thing with Chavo Guerrero and the Shooting Star Press started. And in my time of need, when I needed support the most, who was there for me? Nobody, not the fans, not even my own tag team partner. But I'm here tonight, and I'm going to compete, and it's not because of what Teddy Long says, it's because I'm not a quitter. And I don't care if the people don't like me because they think I turned my back on Paul London, 'cause in my eyes, I know that Paul London turned his back on me first. So starting tonight, I'm going to take care of the only person that cares about me, the only person that I care about. It's not Paul London, it's not the fans, it's me."

Cole and Tazz segue from that match to Show/Angle, and in particular Jindrak bringing the clippers to the ring two weeks ago and cutting Big Show's hair. This is because:

Tonight: Mark Jindrak vs Scotty 2 Hotty 

My cable company seems to come back a little bit late from break, and we're in mid hype for
No Mercy: Spike Dudley (c) vs Nunzio for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship
I do come back in time for Ivory to derail a Todd segue, though. You can tell someone's yelling in her earpiece to shut up, because she completely loses her train of thought and magically segues it back to what Todd was heading for - John Cena on the cover of Muscle & Fitness.   

Photoshoot at Cena's Hard Nock's Gym. They've gone back here for a Confidential piece before. (2:34)

Next: Tranquilizer gun.

WM21 Sold Out. (:32)

No Mercy: Big Show vs Kurt Angle

Big Show's return, contract signing, and nap. (3:40)
Earlier Today: Kurt Angle, Luther Reigns and Mark Jindrak ride the elevator. I Know You Were Wondering: Jindrak is the snappiest dresser. 

Tonight: Mark Jindrak vs Scotty 2 Hotty 

Carlito Caribbean Cool is coming this Thursday. (:37)

Ivory badly segues into a Todd/Alabama insult. And also coming, TE1,000,000 - yea, you missed everything for 4 on.
TE Finalists vignette. Guy with a good body, toughmen boxer, guy with a good body, ex-NFLer who's doing movie work, indy wrestler?, promo guy. (1:00)

No Mercy: Booker T (c) vs John Cena in Match 5 of the Best of 5 Series for the Undisputed United States Championship
How we got there. (3:41)
WWE.Com non-exclusive interview interview with Booker T. They clip Booker saying "world wide web", which is a sad thing indeed.

Day of Reckoning for hastily added angles. So, if you're Jackie and Charlie, are you happy your real life engagement was suddenly and randomly also made an angle because it gives your characters some momentum, or are you unhappy because that kind of duality never works out well? And - much more importantly - how does Rico feel about all of this?

Todd: "Like most fights between women, it's over a man, right?" Ivory reacts to this as you'd expect: "sometimes, it's a pair of shoes." We get a replay of the post match tussle as well.
No Mercy: Rico, Miss Jackie and Charlie Haas vs D-Von Dudley, Bubba Ray Dudley and Dawn Marie. Nice for Dawn to get on PPV this year.
No Mercy: JBL (c) vs the Undertaker in a Last Ride match for the WWE Championship
And a look back at that. (3:14)

Scotty 2 Hotty (Westbrook, ME, 217 pounds) vs Mark Jindrak (Atlanta, GA, 263 pounds) - credits during Scotty's entrance? Okay. I think they've retooled Jindrak's video and music; "Reflection of Perfection" is no longer said. Back to the hair cutting AGAIN. I wonder where this could ever lead. Cole says, in reference to Angle/Show, "if Jindrak or Reigns or anyone else interferes, they'll be fired" - I hadn't noticed the 'anyone else' clause and was kinda betting on a new member being added. Circle. Lockup, Jindrak walks Scotty back in the corner. Kick. Shoulder. Shoulder. Shoulder. Corner whip, no back the way Scotty came, and down he goes. Stomps. Charles Robinson is your ref. Slam, no Scotty slips behind, Scotty inside cradle one two no. Jindrak stops him with a clothesline one two no. Elbow drop, elbow drop, elbow drop, one two no. Jindrak wasting little time between moves. Scotty backed in the other corner, shoulder, brought out, Jindrak standing dropkick to the head one two no. Chinlock. Scotty elbows out, off the ropes, under a clothesline, right, right, right, Scotty off the ropes, clothesline. Cole makes the first mention on the night of the tag team title match here. Whip, reversed, Scotty with a leaping lariat. Scotty pounds his chest and charges into a Jindrak back elbow. Jindrak waits for Scotty to get up and turn around, clothesline misses, Scotty superkick. Both are down. Scotty kips up at five. Off the ropes, two handed bulldog is ducked, Jindrak killer left hand one two three huh (2:49) Cole: "Knocked out cold with a Felix Trinidad like left hand!" Oh, that's why. Jindrak is good because he's beat Scotty (yet again) and Kurt wouldn't picked a loser.

No Mercy Music Video. Am I overthinking them doing one of these after the old guy starts hanging around TNA? I'm sure it's one of those  coincidences. (2:25)

And we're out.
