context_page_description: No Mercy (2004) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment. It took place on October 3, 2004, at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It was the seventh annual No Mercy event, and featured eight professional wrestling matches on the event's card. The buildup to the matches and the scenarios that took place before, during, and after the event were planned by WWE's script writers. The event starred wrestlers from the SmackDown! brand: a storyline expansion of the promotion where employees are assigned to a wrestling brand under the WWE banner.
  The main event was a Last Ride match, where the objective was to place an opponent in a hearse located on the entrance stage and drive them out of the arena. WWE Champion John "Bradshaw" Layfield defeated The Undertaker in this match to retain his title. Two predominant bouts were featured on the undercard; in respective singles matches, John Cena defeated Booker T to win the WWE United States Championship, and The Big Show defeated Kurt Angle.
  No Mercy grossed over US$700,000 ticket sales from an attendance of 10,000, and received 240,000 pay-per-view buys.
context_section_description: The first main match was between Kurt Angle and The Big Show. For the duration of the match, The Big Show, who stood at 7 feet (2.1 m) squashed Angle. Angle was intentionally counted out but General Manager Theodore Long ordered Angle to continue the match or Angle would never wrestle on SmackDown! again. After Angle returned to the ring, Big Show continued to squash Angle. Angle retrieved a steel chair but Big Show punched the chair onto Angle's face. As Big Show prepared to perform a chokeslam, Angle countered into an ankle lock. While Big Show reached the ropes to force Angle to break the hold, the referee was knocked down. Angle began targeting Big Show's knee and hit his knee with the chair. The match ended with Big Show chokeslamming Angle from the top rope for the win.
  The second main match was for the WWE United States Championship between Booker T and John Cena in the final "best of five" match. In the early stages of the match, Cena and Booker fought at ringside. Cena took control as he performed a One-handed bulldog and a Five knuckle shuffle. Cena attempted an FU but Booker countered with a Book End for a near-fall. Cena was able to dodge a Scissors Kick and executed the FU to win the title.
  Next was a mixed tag team match between The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) and Dawn Marie versus Charlie Haas, Rico Constantino, and Miss Jackie. The match ended when Haas performed a pointed elbow drop and tagged in Rico, who performed a moonsault for the win.
  In the main event, John "Bradshaw" Layfield faced The Undertaker for the WWE Championship in a Last Ride Match. At the beginning, the Undertaker performed Old School, a Chokeslam and a leg drop on the ring apron. JBL hit Undertaker with the steel steps and tried to put the Undertaker in the hearse but the Undertaker fought back. JBL executed a diving shoulder block but The Undertaker applied a triangle choke hold on JBL, leading JBL to submit to no effect. The Undertaker backdropped out of a piledriver attempt on the steel steps and executed a Tombstone Piledriver on the steel steps, causing JBL to bleed. The Undertaker chokeslammed JBL through a broadcast table. The Undertaker carried JBL to the hearse but Jon Heidenreich came out of the hearse and covered his mouth with a soaked rag filled with chloroform. Heidenreich placed the Undertaker into the hearse and drove off. Inside the hearse, The  Undertaker jumped out and attacked Heidenreich. JBL executed a Clothesline from Hell and helped Heidenreich place the Undertaker back into the hearse. Backstage, Paul Heyman drove the hearse to the parking lot, where Heidenreich drove a car into it, causing an inexplicable explosion, meaning JBL retained the title.
