(As Raw comes on the air, Shane McMahon comes down to ringside.)

Shane McMahon:
Did you miss me?  I'm sure you all did, and I'm sure that Smackdown wasn't the
same without me, but let's face it, I wasn't sorry to miss out on seeing all
those fat, Oklahoma nobodies, especially as having to put up with Jim Ross is
more than enough for one man.

Last Thursday, Hollywood Hogan did exactly what I thought he would do.  He took
the bait.  Hogan, you've got Kane now at the Bash, and if you can defeat him,
you get me at Vengeance.  But I can guarantee you Hogan, that you will not, in
any way shape or form, defeat Kane at the Great American Bash, in fact, I might
even go on record to say that Kane will bury you at the Bash.

You wanna know why I think that, Hogan?  It's real simple, because at the Great
American Bash, Hogan, I going to, no pun intended, resurrect a match that was
invented by another guy who crossed me and paid the price, that man being the
Undertaker.  Hogan, at the Great American Bash, it's going to be you against
Kane in a Buried Alive match.  And I can guarantee you this Hogan, when Kane
puts you into the grave, and covers your body with all the dirt and soil, and
filth, there will be no coming back for you.  You'll never get to me Hogan,
never!

But Hogan, I know you're in the building tonight, so I have a little something
special planned for you, and for your buddies Stone Cold Steve Austin and the
Big Show.  You see, we're going to have us a little six man tag team main 
event here tonight, but it won't be an ordinary six man, oh no.  For a start,
it's going to be contested under elimination rules, but that's not all, because
there is only one way you can be eliminated from the match.  It's not by pin,
it's not by submission, DQ or count-out.  It's not by going through a table,
and it's certainly not by beind shut in a casket.  No, the only way you get
eliminated from this match, is if you bleed.  Tonight, it's a first blood 6
man tag match, and at least three guys are going to be busted wide open here
tonight.  And Hogan, Austin, Big Show, you had better believe that it's going
to be you!

(Shane's music hits, as he returns to the back.)
