Smackdown 2.21.02

 

***  HHH is shown arriving backstage, and Vince confronts him in the hallway.

 

Vince:  HHH, congratulations… you’re in tonight’s main event.

 

HHH:  Oh yeah, what’s the match?

 

Vince:  Well, it WAS going to be the Rock, Stone Cold, and yourself vs. n.W.o. members  Hall, Nash, and X-Pac in a 6-man tag.

 

HHH:  What do you mean “was going to be’?

 

Vince:  In the interest of fairness, I’ve decided not to book Austin or the Rock in a match tonight… so it will be HHH vs. Hall & Nash in a handicap match!!!!  What’s more… if Rock or Austin enter the ring and interfere here tonight… they will be suspended…hahaha!!!!  This is all in an effort to toughen you up for your Wrestlemania Title shot, HHH….

 

HHH:  What?!?  Dammit Vince, that’s not right….

 

(Nash appears out of nowhere and drills HHH in the back with a chairshot.  The rest of the n.W.o walks around the corner laughing, and we cut to the first match.)

 

Match 1 – William Regal vs. The Hurricane w/Mighty Molly

 

Regal gets on the mic and is disgusted that he goes from fighting for the IC belt to fighting a bloody superhero.  Hurricane grabs the mic and promises him only truth, justice and the American way.  Regal beats the hell out of Hurricane, blocks the Vertebreaker and nails the brass-knuckled Power of the Punch when the ref’s back is turned, and Regal gets the 1,2,3.  After the match, Molly gets into the ring… but the Women’s champ Jazz runs down and attacks her!  (cut to commercial)

 

***We return to the ring and Michael Cole comments that HHH is a little banged up from earlier… but is intently focused on his match with Hall & Nash later on.

 

Match 2 – Lance Storm & Christian vs. DDP & Kane

 

DDP gets on the mic and says that since he’s a fair man, if anyone other than himself gets the pin tonight… they get a European Title shot on RAW!  Storm and Christian are shocked that Kane is DDP’s partner… but they put up a good fight.  The end comes when Kane sets up Christian for the chokeslam, and Storm runs in and nails DDP with a crescent kick.  Kane accidentally chokeslams Christian on top of DDP, and then Kane and Storm brawl with each other and fall out of the ring.  The ref counts Christian laying on DDP…1,2,3… and Christian’s dumb luck pays off with a Euro. Title shot on RAW!

 

***Jericho and Stephanie are talking backstage, when Kurt Angle walks up.

 

Kurt:  Have you two seen Ric Flair???  I want to give him a piece of my mind, that no good s.o.b.!

 

Steph:  No, we haven’t seen him…

 

(Just then Flair walks up)

 

Kurt:  Flair, you moron…  you are single-handedly ruining my main event status here in the WWF!  I hold you solely responsible!!!

 

Flair:  Kurt, it’s not me… it’s the damn n.W.o.  I’m sorry you’ve been screwed in matches recently… I have an idea.  Kurt, how would you like the opportunity to tag with Chris Jericho and face the Hardy Boyz for their tag title no. 1 contendership???

 

Angle&Jericho:  That sounds good to us…

 

Kurt:  …But you’re still not off the hook yet Flair!

 

Match 3:  Hardcore Title match:  Ch. Maven vs. Bubba-Ray Dudley w/D-Von

 

This was supposed to be Spike vs. Bubba-Ray, but it was announced earlier that Spike had sustained injuries from the Dudleyz run-in on Monday Night.  Maven volunteered to take his place, and has put up the Hardcore belt.  Bubba dominates much of the match, but Maven gets in some dropkicks and suplexes.  D-Von attempts to interfere… but here comes Tazz!!!  He drills D-Von with a chair and hits a TazzPlex on Bubba-Ray, and Maven makes the cover to retain….1,2,3.  The Dudleyz challenge Maven and Tazz to a tables match for RAW!

 

***Backstage the n.W.o. is shown, and X-Pac is holding his Light-Heavyweight title.

 

Hogan:  Ok, Hall and Nash… you guys have the game plan ready brothas?  

 

Hall:  You know it, Hulkster.

 

Hogan:  Great… and let me officially welcome ya back into the fold X-Pac… it’s just too sweet!

 

X-Pac:  Thanks Hollywood… but first things first, I gotta do something I’ve been dying to do for months… (X-Pac grabs the LH title and throws it in a garbage can!)  That belt is so far below me, it’s not even funny… I’m going after the big boys from here on out!(cut to commercial)

 

***Austin and the Rock arrive at the arena.  The Coach informs them that they were removed from their match this evening, and that if they interfere, they will be suspended.  Austin tells the Rock to follow him… he has a plan, they’ll hire the APA!!!

 

 

Match 4:  IC Title match:  Ch. Edge vs. Mr. Perfect

 

Cole remarks that Perfect is one of the best IC Champs ever in the WWF, and the King says that Edge cannot take him lightly.  The match itself is pretty intense for free TV.  In the end, Edge counters the Perfect-Plex into a small package for the pin attempt, but Perfect kicks out.  They go to the outside and brawl, and the ref counts both men out!

 

***Rock and Stone Cold go to the APA’s office.  There is a note on the door that says “Gone to the bars… be back in one hour.”  Austin looks at his watch and says that they won’t be back in time to help watch HHH’s back.  Rock and Ausitn sit down at the APA’s table and start drinking beers, trying to figure out what to do.  Rock gets on his cell phone and calls Farooq.

 

***Backstage the Coach is with Rob Van Dam.

 

Coach:  RVD, you seem more reserved and less-outgoing in recent days… is Goldust getting to you?

 

RVD:  Coach, I try to stay calm and collected at all times, but I’d be a liar if I said that Goldust wasn’t affecting me right now.

 

Coach:  Why exactly has he targeted you anyway?  

 

RVD:  I’m really not at liberty to discuss that right now, Coach… if you’ll excuse me this interview is over… (cut to commercial)

 

We’re back and Cole and the King are pondering the Goldust and RVD situation, and King says it goes a lot deeper than most feuds… this must be personal.

 

Match 5:  Angle/Jericho vs. Hardyz:  Tag No. 1 Contenders match

 

This match is very entertaining, and it goes back and forth a lot… until the Tag Champs Booker T and Test run down and attack the Hardyz… resulting in a DQ win for the Hardyz, and they are still Tag Contenders!  Angle goes ballistic and runs backstage, presumably searching for Ric Flair.  Steph tells Jericho to come backstage, she is going to help him with strategy in his match with Stone Cold on Monday.  Jeff Hardy challenges Booker T for RAW Monday.  If Jeff wins, the Hardys get their tag title shots on Smackdown next week!  Booker T accepts, although Test seemed hesitant.  

 

Match 6:  HHH vs. Hall & Nash (handicap)

 

The n.Wo. theme plays, and out walks the entire n.Wo., with Hogan and X-Pac showing support.  HHH music hits, and he makes his way cautiously down to the ring.  HHH holds his own for a while, until outside interference spells HHH’s doom and Nash gets the Jacknife Powerbomb for the 1,2,3!!!  Suddenly, the APA jump the railing and enter the ring.  They try and hold off the Outsiders, but Hogan and X-Pac enter also, and they appear to be too much for them.  Austin and the Rock appear on the ramp, and they look like they are discussing strategy.  Finally, the Rock runs down to the ring and Austin goes backstage (still nursing injury and not wanting to get suspended from his title shot Monday).  Rock enters the ring, and it’s HHH, Rock and the APA versus the n.Wo.!!!  Vince runs down and hits HHH with a chair, and the n.W.o. appears to be dominating.

 

Cole:  Oh my god… it’s the Undertaker’s music!!!!!

 

The Undertaker rides his bike down to the ring and enters… clearing the ring of the n.W.o. who are shocked to see him.  Vince and the n.W.o. back up the ramp, with hatred in their eyes.  

 

‘Taker:  Vince, I’ve been out here for weeks preaching about respecting me, but it’s so clear that you don’t respect a damn soul but yourself, Vince!  I’ve been quiet for nearly a week, but it’s time I spoke up.  The Rock helped open my eyes…. You have to EARN respect, and it’s a mutual thing.  Least of all, I don’t respect you and the n.W.o. Vince!

 

Vince:  Oh yeah, ‘Taker?  You’re such a tough guy huh?  You’re gonna hate the n.W.o. a whole lot more very soon, pal.  Since the Rock chose to interfere here tonight, he’s suspended for one damn week, and if he shows his face at all he’ll be suspended a lot longer!  Monday night, the Undertaker and the APA will face Hall, Nash and X-Pac in a 6-man tag!!!  The poison of the n.W.o will destroy you all, dammit….hahahahahhaa!!!!!!
