6-26 ECW

Roddy Piper came down to the ring to open the show. He said he'd never been in an ECW ring before. He didn't consider people "hardcore" unless they'd dated "Sweaty Betty", had their hearing taken away in a dog collar match or been at Wrestlemania with Paul Orndorff. At this point, Matt Striker came to the ring. He introduced himself ("Matt Striker, your teacher") and said it's an honour. Piper said he hoped Striker wasn't his sex ed teacher. Striker said it was that wit that made this an honour. Striker mentioned that today was his birthday and a cake was brought to ringside. He thought it wouldnt' be a party without Roddy Piper and said he'd do the same for Piper, although if it were Piper's birthday, there's be 96 candles on the cake and the fire marshalls would have to be called. He then said that Piper is his all-time favourite and requested that Piper sing him "Happy Birthday". Piper turned to the crowd and suggested that they sing "Happy Birthday" to "the mark". When Piper got to the part of the song where they were to sing Striker's name, he asked Striker his name again. Striker started to reply and Piper took that moment to shove the birthday cake in his face, finished the song and then left. The Boogeyman's music then played and he came from under the ring. Striker tried to run, but Piper threw him back in the ring, where he was power-bombed and then had worms drooled into his mouth.

6-29 WWE Smackdown

Ric Flair def. Carlito

Mickie James said that she was wilder than Victoria and Victoria tried to disprove this by saying that she would kiss on the lips the next person to come out of the Smackdown locker room. That turned out to be Howard Finkel, but Victoria made the excuse that she wasn't ready. Next out was Jim Duggan, but Victoria again flinched, saying that he went by too quickly. She then dared Mickie to kiss the next person out. Big Dick Johnson started through the door, but stopped to retie his boot and Ron Simmons stepped through. Mickie came up and kissed Simmons full on the mouth, prompting Simmons, after a brief pause, to say "Damn!".
