Note from Tito: No PDC today, for Smackdown results are needed here at LoP. Smackdown was not pre-empted in my area, and I was fortunate to actually tape the show.

Again, my heart goes out to anyone who has a family member who was hurt by this act of terrorism. I'm confident that the United States will show swift action against the terrorists or those harboring them.

By the way, thank you very much WWF. The simple fact that you provided a new wrestling show, this week, helped to ease the frustration made by the attacks. Thanks again.

WWF Smackdown Results

WWF introduction graphic shown, and we go directly into the ring. Vince McMahon makes his first television appearance in ages, and he's in the ring with a mic in hand. "Tonight, the spirit of America, lives on here in Houston, Texas." Basic summary: On behalf of everyone here in the arena, and the WWF, we offer our condolences to the victims. Nation's leaders have encouraged us to continue our lives. This is the first public event since the tragedy on Tuesday. This public assembly is sending a message to terrorism, make no mistake. The message is that we will not live our lives in fear. The citizens of the United States are NOT afraid, for we are a proud group of Americans. (loud USA chants) And we will fight for our families, rights, and for our great nation. America's heart has been wounded, but her spirit shines as a beakon of freedom that never has been, or never will be, extinguished. The WWF wants to thank each and everyone in the Compaq center, watching on television, and thank you with the honor and privilege of performing before your tonight.

Smackdown intro: The Beautiful People, the Beautiful People... AHHHHHHHHH

Paul Heyman and Jim Ross are your commentators. ALL of the WWF wrestlers, road agents, and the rest of the workers come out on the entrance way. Many have American flags, and are proudly waving them. Please rise for the National Anthem. Lilian Garcia delivers one of the BEST National Anthems that I've EVER heard. Sure, she's had practice singing it before every Smackdown for the audience at the shows, but she put a ton of heart into this. "That our Flag was still there" is sang loudly by Garcia, which sent chills down my spine. Various wrestlers are seen singing the Anthem, and crying as well. Incredible. Lilian, herself, is in tears and overjoyed after singing this.

(Note: Throughout the show, the WWF had various wrestlers or WWF employees talk about the tragedy. It was very similar to the Owen Hart RAW tribute, if you remember that.)

Edge: He says he about didn't do this segment or do the show, but then realized that his job, in the WWF, is to put smiles on the people's faces. Sends his prayers.

Ricky Santana: (Road Agent from WCW) He sends his prayers, and says he won't hide his head in fear. He thanks the fans of Houston and the fans of the WWF, and he affirms to his family that everything will be ok.

Hardy Boyz with Lita come out to a massive pop. STAND BACK, THERE'S A HURRICANE COMING THROUGH! Hurricane and Lance Storm come out, with Lita.

Hardy Boyz vs. Lance Storm/Hurricane
Fireman's carry by Hurricane on Matt Hardy to start. Off the ropes wo go, and Hardy nails a hiptoss. Matt punches away, but Storm attacks. Everyone is in the ring, Hardys get the best of the Alliance members. Near fall on the Hurricane, who would later take a nice double team move by the Hardys.

That prompts Jeff Hardy to the top rope for the Swanton. Jeff, the LEGAL man, gets the pin.

Terri: What hit Terri the hardest was being a mother. She has a beautiful child at home, and to think about all of the children losing a father or a mother, it breaks her heart in the name of what.

Rock: He can't fathom the suffering or the pain that the families of the victims feel right now, as well as the fire fighters or whoever else searching for the survivors. Rock couldn't imagine to be there, and the same goes for his family. He offers his condolences, as well as his prayers. Everyone just needs to stay strong.

Note: Throughout the show, UPN kept advertising stuff that Smackdown was just a form of entertainment and it recognizes the tragedy that occurred Tuesday.

He asks if that was the greatest entrance they've ever seen, and he'll be winning a certain Intercontinental title soon. BREAK THE WALLS DOWN. Chris Jericho comes down, with mic in hand. The people aren't thinking about Christian's entrance, but for Christian to please shut the hell up. Jericho makes fun of the entrance theme by saying "Christian! Christian!

{COMMERCIAL}

Torrie Wilson: Condolences to anyone having family members involved in this tragedy.

Rock is issuing a challenge to anybody who wants to go one on one with the Great One, who wants a piece of the Rock. Shawn Stasiak, with Stacy Kiebler comes out. Stasiak runs to the ring, and the Rock quickly tosses him over the top rope. Rock says if there's anyone else who wants the shot at the belt, come out now. Stasiak runs out again, and gets tossed over the top rope again! Again, if anyone wants a shot at the Rock, and he means ANYONE, come on now for a one on one shot. Stasiak tries to run down again!

Rock stops Stasiak in his tracks, and questions what's the matter with Stasiak. Rock asks if he feels good to get thrown over the top rope, and that it's embarrassing (probably hurts too). Rock says relax, and let's talk about pie. Stasiak HATES pie. Rock says that he loves Pie, Houston, TX loves the pie.... Rock questions Stasiak if he likes the stroodle(sp?). Rock then asks Stacy if she likes the stroodle(sp?), and she shakes her head. Stasiak is pissed, and askes for his WCW title shot and NOW. The WCW title means everything to the Rock, and offers to shake Stasiak's hand.

Hugh Morrus: Hugh says that his brother is a fire fighter, searching through the rubble in New York. What happened in New York just made him sick.

{COMMERCIAL}

Ivory: Prayers to everyone in New York and whoever else is involved. Ivory doesn't want the children of America to be afraid, since there are far more in this world that are good than bad. This tragedy will help make America stronger.
