SmackDown: 29/11/2001
SmackDown was live at the Kansas Coliseum in Wichita, Kansas. Footage was shown from earlier in the day of World Wrestling Federation co-owners Vince McMahon and Ric Flair. Vince was upset because he theorized that Flair was in on it with Stone Cold Steve Austin on Monday night when Austin beat up Mr. McMahon. Vince said he also didn't like that Flair had booked a Leather Strap Match between Stone Cold and William Regal on SmackDown! Ric said he didn't like that Vince wanted the whole world to kiss his ass. He said he didn't like the direction that Vince was taking the company - and Vince said that Flair then wouldn't like what he was going to do tonight, because a third member would join the "Kiss My Ass" club. Vince then said that Flair should admit that Vince has a nice ass, but Flair instead just said that Vince is an ass!
Stone Cold marched to the ring to a standing ovation as SmackDown! kicked off. Austin said he was at a restaurant earlier in the day, but got his food to go, because he was in a rush to get to the Kansas Coliseum to kick some ass
He said his waitress had told him that she sure was glad he didn't kiss Vince McMahon's ass on RAW - and Austin said she didn't need to worry, because that's something he just doesn't do. Austin asked Vince how stupid he thought he was to think he would actually kiss his ass. He couldn't believe Vince would think that Austin was as stupid as William Regal, who he also called pathetic.
Stone Cold said that Regal could fly to the moon or invent a cure for a disease, but he would always be known as the British piece of trash that kissed Vince's ass. Austin said that on SmackDown!, he would whip Regal's ass in the Strap Match.
Austin then turned his attention to Vengeance when an undisputed champion will be crowned. Stone Cold said he agreed with The Rock, that it should just be the two of them facing off one-on-one for the title, instead of Austin first facing Kurt Angle and Rock first facing Chris Jericho. Austin said it was like Flair said - to be the man, you have to beat the man. Austin complained about having to wrestle Angle first, but promised to beat his ass 1-2-3 to advance to the finals. He said he had no favorites, but hoped that Rock would beat Jericho, because an Austin/Rock match at Vengeance would be bigger than their match at WrestleMania was. Austin said that when the dust cleared, he would be the undisputed champion. He then said that was the bottom line, but the Rattlesnake was cut off by Kurt Angle's music before he could finish his catchphrase!
Angle walked out to the stage, as the crowd chanted "Angle sucks!" Kurt said that at Vengeance, Austin wouldn't beat Rock or Y2J, because the Rattlesnake would lose to him. Austin said that if Angle was feeling so brave, then he should get his ass to the ring right now! Angle said that wasn't going to happen. He promised to make Austin tap out at Vengeance. Stone Cold called Angle a red, white and blue jackass - and the crowd said hell yeah! Angle said that he would whip Austin's ass at Vengeance - and the crowd said hell no! Austin then told Angle to get his ass out of the Kansas Coliseum - and the crowd said hell yeah!
Test provided color commentary for the opening match on SmackDown!, a European Championship match pitting the champion, Christian, against Scotty 2 Hotty, accompanied by Albert. Test and Albert both tried to get involved in the match, with Test almost receiving the Worm for his efforts! But as Scotty went for the move, Christian snuck up from behind and nailed the I'm Prettier, then pinned Scotty to retain his championship. After the bout, Christian threw Scotty into a big boot from Test!
Jeff Hardy was getting dressed backstage when Lita walked in, saying she wanted to talk to him about Matt. She thought it was just relationship problems between her and Matt, but she'd seen the way Matt was treating Jeff, and said that Matt had problems.
She said she was also worried about Jeff, since he was competing after suffering a serious concussion at Survivor Series. As Jeff and Lita talked, Matt walked in and put his arm around the two, saying there was nothing to worry about. He said the Hardy Boyz were the most successful tandem in sports-entertainment history, and ran down a list of their accolades. Matt said he had earned the team a No. 1 contenders match for later in the night on SmackDown! Jeff asked who the match was against, and Matt said it was against Big Show and Kane! Matt seemed confident as he left the locker room, but Jeff and Lita seemed worried at the prospect of facing such a massive duo!
Rob Van Dam entered Mr. McMahon's locker room, and called Vince "dude." Vince said he wasn't a dude, he was Mr. McMahon. Vince said that he'd invited RVD to join him a few times, and RVD never had. Vince said he didn't hold grudges, and wished Rob best of luck on SmackDown! against Bubba Ray Dudley. He also wished RVD good luck at Vengeance, when he said Van Dam would face the Undertaker! Much to Mr. McMahon's shock, Van Dam said that was cool, and that he'd just have to beat him again!
William Regal and Kurt Angle walked together backstage, and Regal said he couldn't wait to get his hands on Austin in the Strap Match. Angle said that he would also defeat Austin at Vengeance, and become the undisputed champion. The two then ran into Edge, and Angle promised to make an example out of Edge on SmackDown!
Angle asked if Edge knew who he was talking to, and Edge said yes - that Regal was a charter member of the "Kiss My Ass" club, and that Angle was a shoe-in! Angle then attacked Edge, and Regal whipped him with the leather strap until Federation officials pulled him off!
After a successful defense against D-Von Dudley on RAW, Rob Van Dam put his Hardcore Championship on the line against D-Von's brother Bubba Ray on SmackDown! Bubba was accompanied to ringside by Stacy Keibler. RVD retained his title, pinning Bubba after a Van Daminator. After the bout, the Undertaker rode down to ringside on his motorcycle, and then Taker assaulted RVD, and gave him the Last Ride onto a trash can! Taker then grabbed the microphone and told Van Dam that he had a lot to learn if he wanted to survive in the Federation - including how to respect authority. He told RVD to consider this his first lesson, and not to piss him off. Taker said that at Vengeance, he would finish the class, and everyone would respect him.
Coachman was interviewing Bulletproof in their locker room. Bladewol sitting with his arm around Trish's shoulders "Guys, uh, thanks for taking this time to do this again."
"No problem." Jackal said.
"My main question is why have you guys done what you've been doing the past couple of weeks?" Coach asked. "Everyone has noticed you've mostly attacked former WCW/ECW Alliance members."
"We have." Bloodwolf nodded with a smirk. "For good reason.
"Coach, we watched the night after Survivor Series, and to us? Those guys weren't punished enough." Bladewolf said seriously. "We don't care about what vince does, we saw no punishment so we decided to deal with that ourselves. to make those guys know that their choices have consequences. They chose to try and put us out of business and failed, so we have decided to make them suffer for that. We could've been out of jobs, Coach, and those guys were happy to sit back and let that happen. the Dudley Boyz, RVD, Test, Christian, everyone we've destroyed in the past few weeks deserved what they've gotten. But make no mistake... everyone will be a target if they come after us. We are the Undisputed WWF Tag Team Champions and we're not giving these titles up by any means. At Vengeance, whoever are the unlucky pair, will see Jackal and Bloodwolf across the ring and suffer more than they've ever suffered. As for me? I'm taking a vacation that I deserve after I saved this damn company from being put out of business."
"Coach, everyone's got to pay one way or another." Jackal said. "But not us... we're Bulletproof."
"Bulletproof for life." Trish smirked as they chuckled, stood and left...
And that's it for this chapter everyone. I hope you all enjoyed it.
