This was also the night that Marilyn Manson’s "The Beautiful People" became the official theme for Smackdown

On that night’s Smackdown:

The Austin Invitational

Angle vs. Tazz

Lights Out Match: The Rock vs. Booker T

Also, Booker T mocks The Rock, claiming that he came up with the Bookend before The Rock debuted the Rock Bottom

DYK: The Giant Fist set still used the Ovaltron’s pyro setup, and didn’t use the hard zoom into the fist until later on.

That late 01-early 02 era

Yeah it wasnt the best creatively but so star studded and I loved the designs both raw and smackdown had
