Welcome to InsidePulse’s 5th Afterburn report!
It’s October 2, 2004 and we’re on the air with WWE Afterburn!
Last Week: Kurt Angle shoots Big Show with a dart, then gives him a haircut.
Our host today is Josh Matthews and talks about this Sunday. The card for this PPV is shown. Check the end of the report to find out the card.
We are in the ring with Kurt Angle. Only NOW does he get angry with the Big Show. What if Big Show picked to wrestle Eddy? Anyway, Angle shows last week’s picture on the screen. He humiliated Show. To all the fans that have been picked on, please feel free to show your admiration. He’s got a point. Mark Jindrak and Luther will be in his corner at No Mercy. They come to the ring in suits with Big Show’s hair. They pick Angle up like a king. Here comes the Smackdown GM to ruin Angle’s moment. Doesn’t look like Show is here. Long says that Jindrak and Luther will NOT be Angle’s corner on Sunday. Threats of firings are heard. And that’s about it.
We now see pre-recorded comments from Show in the dark. Summary: Angle’s dead.
Coming up: Luther and Mark vs Eddy and ???
Up Next: UT has some words for JBL.

We’re back with Josh talking about the Booker T-John Cena feud.
We see on SD, Josh interviewing Cena. Josh says he can’t wait to hear Cena’s rap about this Sunday. Cena says he’ll do a special rap for Josh. “Hell no”, says Cena. Cena pushes Josh away and does a promo about Booker T. It’s all about the US title. No Mercy, US Title, etc. Too many promos on Afterburn.
Next, UT is shown with a hearse. At No Mercy, this will be Bradshaw’s last ride. The last image he’ll see will be the Undertaker with the WWE championship. RIP, JBL.
Josh Mattews interviews JBL. JBL is looking for OJ. He says he isn’t scared. He mentions a few superstars that UT beat. I don’t think he ever wrestled Randy Savage. He never beat JBL. Well, UT did beat Bradshaw by DQ the night after WMXII. JBL has a plan and it starts tonight. He is going to destroy the “hardcore king” Bob Holly. Jus as he says that, Holly comes out and knocks him out. Holly: “your plan just started”.
JIP, JBL vs Bob Holly. Holly with a suplex for a 2 count. Whip by Bob, reverse, Big Boot by JBL for a 2. Holly put on the top turnbuckle. JBL with 2 chops, 2 punches and Holly puts him down. Holly with a top rope clothesline for a 2. Best dropkick in the business for another 2. JBL comes back with a fallaway slam.
Clip, JBL has the stairs and hits Holly with them. JBL throws it in the ring. A bloody Holly thrown into the announce table and beat on by JBL. A chairshot by JBL. Back in the ring, JBL with the clothesline from H-E, double hockey sticks. JBL mocks the UT, put his hat on (very important) and takes the mic: he will end UT’s career. The lights go out and the music plays. The Deadman is on the screen and says that it started with 4: Gangrel, Viscera and now OJ. It looks like OJ is on a cross/symbol, but the camera never shows it. And then, there was one.
Coming up: Dudley Boyz vs Charlie Haas and Rico
Up Next: Booker T vs Paul London
