Heading Into BackLash

24APR2006: London, England

Backstage, Kane is pacing (no voices). Show walks up, wanting to straighten things out with Kane. He wants to know what is going on, what's with May 19th? Mention of the date sets Kane off again. Show continues, in some 'tough love' kinda way, says the date is like any other day. Kane warns him not to say it again - or else. Show repeats it and Kane lays into him, pummeling him into the garage door, kicking and going for Show's eyes. Others come to break it up, Kane flips out on them too while Show is roaring in pain. Camera shows staff having gotten between Kane and Show now tending to Big Show who's got his hand up over his left eye.

You could see the terror in Lilian's face as she struggled against the inevitable! Big Show's music hit and Kane threw Lilian down hard as Show came down and got in Kane's face, demanding to know what was going on. He asked what the big deal is about May 19.
