SmackDown: 30/8/2001
SmackDown was live at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan. SmackDown kicked off with the Dudley Boyz and Test teaming up to take on the APA and Big Show. During the match, a fresh Big Show was tagged in and the monster began to clean house! The 7' 2" behemoth was about to seal the deal with a chokeslam on Bubba Ray, but D-Von made the save with a low blow. Then, with the big man stunned, Test helped the Dudley Boyz execute a 3-D on the former World Wrestling Federation Champion. Before any of the men could cover Big Show, the APA entered the ring and laid out all three men, with Bradshaw picking up the win after a Clothesline from Hell on D-Von!
Kurt Angle's music then blared through the Joe Louis Arena as the crowd rose to its feet. The Olympic hero then grabbed a microphone and said that he tried to be a nice guy to Stone Cold Steve Austin. At SummerSlam, he said he was nice enough to kick out of three Stunners so the crowd could enjoy a classic match, only to see Austin get disqualified because the Rattlesnake realized he couldn't beat him. Then, he said, the following night during Austin Appreciation Night, he said he was nice enough to drive all the way in and supply the Alliance with some good, wholesome milk. Then, this past Monday, he said he was nice enough to invite Stone Cold to take on himself and Chris Jericho, but instead, Stone Cold not only refused to accept the match, but afterwards he attacked his Olympic hero and stole his medals.
Angle said that since Austin was nice enough to take something from him, he felt compelled to take something from the Rattlesnake – the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Angle challenged Stone Cold to a Federation Championship match at Unforgiven live on Pay-Per-View on Sept. 23 from Kurt's hometown of Pittsburgh! Angle finished up by calling Austin to the ring so he could take back his medals from Stone Cold's thick red neck, but before the Rattlesnake could respond, Booker T and WCW owner Shane McMahon made their way out.
Booker T told Angle that he "gots to be kidding." He said that everyone knew that he was the one that was robbed at SummerSlam when The Rock stole the WCW Championship from him. The former five-time WCW Champ told the Olympic hero that his medals meant nothing compared to the WCW Championship. Angle then asked Booker T if the Spinaroonie had suddenly become an Olympic sport. He told "The Book" to go back to his dressing room, practice his dancing, send out another audition tape for "Soul Train" and get the hell out of the ring! Booker said he came out because he felt he and Angle were both in the same boat, seeing as they had both been robbed, but he realized that Angle and him had nothing in common. He said that, on SmackDown!, he was going to add to the horrible crime rate in Detroit by punking out Angle later in the night.
Shane got on the microphone and told Angle that he should respect the five-time WCW Champion.
He then said he could sense something big – the Spinaroonie! Booker T executed his move in the middle of the ring as Shane taunted Angle by asking him, "What are you going to do about that?" Angle responded by knocking both men out of the ring, sending them back to the Alliance's locker room.
At that point, Stone Cold popped up on the TitanTron with Angle's medals in his hand. He told the Olympic hero that if he wanted his medals back, he should come to the backstage area and get them! Angle then jumped out of the ring and made his way to the back.
After commercial, Angle was searching for the Rattlesnake backstage when he ran into Scotty 2 Hotty. The master of the Worm told the Olympic hero that after Austin saw Angle making his way to the back, he jumped in his truck and drove away.
Next up, the Undertaker took on Albert, who was accompanied by X-Pac, in a rematch from RAW IS WAR. Before the match, Michael Cole and Tazz announced that Kane has been sidelined with an infection in his elbow, so it could be some time before the Big Red Machine was back in action. During the match, X-Pac jumped onto the apron and threw a steel chair into the ring, but Taker grabbed the high-flyer and brought him into the ring the hard way. With the Dead Man preoccupied with X-Pac, Albert picked up the chair and nailed Taker in the back. The former Intercontinental Champion went for the cover on the Dead Man, but he kicked out.
Undertaker then picked up the chair and blasted Albert in the head, getting disqualified in the process. Afterwards, X-Pac entered the ring and waffled Taker in the back with the chair, but the Dead Man quickly recovered and caught the Light Heavyweight/Cruiserweight Champion. Taker then planted X-Pac in the middle of the ring with the Last Ride.
Backstage, Stacy Keibler and Shawn Stasiak were carrying a covered food tray. Shawn asked Stacy if he really thought their plan was going to work, and Stacy said that he should leave the talking to her.
Debra was in Stone Cold's locker room when Stacy and Shawn entered. They said they wanted to apologize for dousing her with rancid milk on RAW. Debra was furious, saying she had to wash her hair five times to get the smell out. Stacy said that she had baked Debra some cookies as a peace offering. Debra tried one and said that they were really good. Then, she smashed the tray of cookies in Stacy's face and beat her over the back with the metal tray! The duo fled the locker room as Mrs. Stone Cold continued to verbally berate them.
In another locker room, Christian was on the phone asking the operator why his Grandma Edna wouldn't accept his collect call, when Edge entered the room. Edge told Christian they needed to have a talk, and Christian agreed, saying that it was awesome that Edge was going to face Kanyon for the U.S. Championship on SmackDown!
Edge said that he wanted to go to the ring alone because he wanted to win the U.S. Title by himself. Christian said that he understood.
In the parking lot area, Stone Cold was sitting on the roof of a car looking into a camera wondering where Kurt Angle was. He said that Angle was obviously scared of the Rattlesnake. He said he was beginning to get a little bored with the Olympic hero. He then began pondering how Kurt's medals would make a great hood ornament.
After commercial, Angle was seen looking around the parking lot when a car drove up. He ran up to the car, but it wasn't Austin – it was the Alliance's Tommy Dreamer. He beat on Dreamer until Stone Cold nearly ran him over with another car! A laughing Austin stopped the car and dangled the medals out the window, asking Angle if he wanted to take a ride with his "little medals." Stone Cold then took off, crashing through a gate and out of the parking lot.
Next up was the Bladewolf vs Bloodwolf in singles action.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Dead Silent plays to a pop from the fans as smoke fills the stage, the lights dimming to a familiar sinister blood red and dark blue. Trish is standing on the stage in a dark robe, dressed in black leather pants and a black top, before the Bladewolf walks out, carrying the WWF and WCW Tag Team Championships, and stands in front of her, facing the ring with a dark glare on his face.
Trish takes the robe off, then walks around him, running a hand seductively across his shoulders as she walks forward to the ring while singing.
"He is time... famine, war... pestilence you cannot endure..." Trish gets in the ring and seductively rubs her body against the ropes as she continues while getting more frantic by the second. "the end is here... the end is here! Fall and Pray! Fall and Pray! Fall and PRAY!"
The lights flash blood red repeatedly as Trish falls to her knees and moves out the way as Bladewolf appears in the ring, unleashing a primal yell as he stands under the flashing red lights while the songs repeats the 'fall and pray' part.
Bladewolf beats his chest in sync with the drum part of the theme and the song slowly ends as Trish slides between Bladewolf's legs and poses on her knees in front of him while her back is pressed against his knees.
The lights go to normal and Trish gets to her feet as Bladewolf takes off his coat followed by his short-sleeved shirt to reveal his ring gear underneath. Bladewolf hands his titles to Trish who gets out at ringside and stands there.
"The following contest is scheduled for one-fall! Introducing first, from Death Valley, weighing 310 lbs, he is one half of the World Wrestling Federation and WCW Tag Team Champions... THE BLADEWOLF!" Tony Chimel announced.
"I tell you, Cole, Bladewolf's entrance, it demands no one speak, it demands that you watch in awe and fear." Tazz said. "Like the Devil himself has just arrived."
"I agree with you there, Tazz." Cole nodded. "Tonight, Bladewolf takes on Bloodwolf. On RAW this past Monday he took on and defeated Bloodwolf's partner, Jackal. So Bladewolf has been given both members of Bulletproof in Singles action this week."
Bulletproof's theme hits before Bloodwolf walks out and starts making his way to the ring. "And his opponent, from Brooklyn, New York, representing Bulletproof and the Alliance... BLOODWOLF!"
"Jackal is not here tonight, apparently he came down with an illness." Cole said. "Bloodwolf was not on RAW this week due to his flight being delayed. Bloodwolf must be glad to have this match, to get payback for what happened on RAW, and for the loss at SummerSlam."
"the issues between Bulletproof and Bladewolf... I doubt they're going to go away anytime soon, Cole." Tazz said.
Bloodwolf gets on the ring apron and takes off his jacket, followed by his shirt then enters the ring as Bulletproof's theme dies down and he stands in the opposite corner of Bladewolf who is watching him like a hawk. The referee then calls for the bell.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Bladewolf and Bloodwolf circle one another before they lock up and have a test of strength with each other but Bladewolf suddenly broke it to lift up Bloodwolf and drive him into the corner. Bladewolf drives his shoulder repeatedly into the stomach of Bloodwolf, then follows it up by hammering away on Bloodwolf's forehead, followed by an uppercut that rocks Bloodwolf.
"Nice uppercut." Tazz complimented.
Bladewolf lands a hard right hand to the head, then a knee to the ribcage of Bloodwolf before he brings a forearm down on Bloodwolf's back but gets tackled down by Bloodwolf who unloads with lefts and rights.
"And Bloodwolf with some lefts and rights." Cole said as Bloodwolf keeps it up until Badewolf rolls them over and hammers away on him. "Now Bladewolf reversesing their positions!"
"You know, I think Bladewolf would've made a great member of Bulletproof." Tazz said.
"What?!" Cole asked him as Bladewolf picks Bloodwolf up and Irish whips him but gets taken down with a clothesline. "Nice clothesline there by Bloodwolf. you think Bladewolf would be a member of Bulletproof?"
"in another life, i mean." Tazz said. "He's a gifted superstar, he's dominating. He'd be the best person to be a third member in Bulletproof."
"i wouldn't let Jackal or Bloodwolf hear you say that, just in case they take offence." Cole said with amusement.
Bloodwolf rebounds off the ropes and lands a running elbow drop on Bladewolf's chest, then pulls him to his feet, Irish whips him off the ropes and fakes a clothesline only to dropkick Bladewolf's right ankle, the one that was targeted at SummerSlam.
"Oh! Bladewolf goes down hard !" Cole exclaimed. "Noticed Bloodwolf went for the right ankle, the one Bloodwolf and Jackal attacked at SummerSlam that kept Bladewolf down for a while."
"That's smart." Tazz nods. "go for what you think is the weak point and take advantage of that."
Bloodwolf brings his elbow down on the ankle repeatedly, causing Bladewolf to yell in pain before Bloodwolf stopped and grabs Bladewolf, irish whipping him into the corner then runs and hits a turnbuckle clothesline, lifts Bladewolf onto his right shoulder.
"Look at the power of Bloodwolf!" Cole shouted.
"He's got him up, Cole!" Tazz said.
Bloodwolf runs... AND HITS THE RUNNING POWERSLAM ON BLADEWOLF! HE HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THRE-! Bladewolf kicks out at two.
"Bladewolf kicks out at two." Cole said. "Bloodwolf has been impresisve thus far in the match."
"That's right." Tazz nods. "whether he's teaming with jackal, or in singles action, he is deadly and dangerous when he wants to be."
Bloodwolf gets to his feet and watches Bladewolf start getting to his. Bladewolf turns around... INTO A SUPERKICK! FOLLOWED BY A SPEAR BY BLOODWOLF! BLOODWOLF HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THREE! BLOODWOLF BEATS THE BLADEWOLF!
'Ding1 Ding! Ding!'
the Bulletproof theme plays as Bloodwolf rolls out the ring and backs up the ramp. "Here is your winner... BLOODWOLF!" Tony Chimel announced.
"He did it!" Tazz said. "He avenged that loss at SummerSlam and for his partner, jackal!" Bet Bladewolf wasn't expecting that!"
"Fact of the matter is, Bloodwolf wins and has beaten the Bladewolf." Cole said as Bladewolf sits up and looks at Bloodwolf befor ehe gives a small smirk and nod. "A nod of respect perhaps from the 4-year veteran."
Bloodwolf smirks back before he goes backstage as SmackDown goes to commercial break.
