SmackDown: 21/2/2002

SmackDown was live at the Metro Center in Rockford, Illinois. SmackDown! kicked off with a pre-taped announcement from World Wrestling Federation co-owner Mr. Vince McMahon. He said that the actions of the nWo on RAW were "absolutely reprehensible". He said the members of the nWo should be held responsible for their actions, and they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. He felt certain that the law officers of Cook County, Illinois, and The Rock would be satisfied by the punishment that the nWo would receive. Mr. McMahon felt that community service would be a just punishment. Mr. McMahon also insisted that Hollywood Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash should apologize to The Rock and also to the fans of the Federation.

The fans inside the MetroCentre in Rockford, Ill. were then greeted by an angry Kurt Angle. The Olympic Hero came to the ring and said that a travesty occurred on RAW – Triple H had stolen his title shot at WrestleMania. He said he was dying to take his frustration out on anyone in the back. Angle said he would stand in the middle of the ring all night until someone was stupid enough to come out and challenge him to a fight. He said he was ready to go Olympic on somebody's ass! At that point, flames burst all around the Olympic Hero as Kane made his way to the ring! Angle and the Big Red Monster began pummeling one another until Angle went outside and grabbed a steel chair! He began hammering Kane with the metal chair, which caused the referee to call for the disqualification.

The two men continued to beat on one another, with Kane throwing Kurt into the steel steps. The Big Red Monster began pulling monitors off the announce table, but Angle hit the behemoth with a low blow. Then, the Olympic Hero got a hold of Kane and threw him through the table with a German Suplex! With the table in shambles, Angle nailed another German Suplex on Kane on top of the wooden mess. He then locked on the ankle-lock on the Big Red Monster before a half dozen Federation officials came out to separate the two!

Backstage, Federation co-owner Ric Flair and Arn Anderson were commenting on Angle's assault on Kane when the Undertaker walked in. The Dead Man said that Flair had had a few days to think about facing Taker at WrestleMania X8, and he wanted an answer now. Flair told the Undertaker that he was an owner now, not a wrestler. The Dead Man said that that was the last 'no' answer he was going to take. Come Monday night, he said, Flair would be saying 'yes'. On his way out, Taker went up to Arn and told him that when it came to the Four Horsemen, apparently it was Anderson that had all the guts.

Jerry "The King" Lawler and Michael Cole recapped the events that had occurred the past week revolving around the members of the nWo, including their brutal attacks on Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock.

At that point, Hogan, Hall and Nash were seen walking toward the commercial, the nWo made its made out. Nash took the mic and started reading from a prepared statement. Nash apologized for the actions perpetrated by the trio, and he asked the fans to forgive them. Hall took the mic and wished The Rock a speedy recovery, and he hoped that he would be at 100 percent for WrestleMania X8. Hall, still reading from the paper, said that, as human beings, they were very disappointed in themselves for what they had done on RAW. He said they weren't apologizing because Mr. McMahon told them to – they were apologizing because they knew that what they did was wrong. Hogan then grabbed the mic and thanked the district attorney's office for its acceptance of Mr. McMahon's attorney's suggestion for a lesser charge – even though The Rock had "assaulted me first." Hogan also thanked Mr. McMahon's attorneys for arranging community service that they would perform in light of their actions. He finally thanked Mr. McMahon for accepting their apology, and for his understanding, love and support. Hogan then asked The Rock for his forgiveness, for he had already forgiven the Great One for assaulting him first. Hogan put the paper in his pocket and stated that he would not be sorry for what he was going to do to the People's Champ at WrestleMania X8.

The nWo's music started playing when it was cut short by Stone Cold's music! The three men were still in the ring when Stone Cold's truck barrelled into the arena, down the aisle and straight to the ring! Austin jumped out of his truck and chased the three with a tire iron, and he finally caught up with Hall. He started attacking the Bad Guy with the tire iron until he decided to jump back in his truck and try to run over him! Hogan and Nash ran back to retrieve Hall, and they carried him away before Austin could do any more damage.

Backstage, Hogan, Hall and Nash hurried to their limosine, only to find that Stone Cold had slashed its tires and had written "WHAT?" in white spraypaint on the side. The three were still fuming when Austin pulled up in his truck and, again, started chasing them with a tire iron!

A clash of brothers was next, as Edge battled his former tag team partner, Christian. As Christian was posing for his fans, Edge began his assault on his sibling. As Edge attemped an Edgecution, Christian blocked the move and hit a reverse DDT. Christian picked up his brother and went for an Unprettier, but Edge threw Christian into the ropes and nailed him with a spear! Edge finally defeated his sibling after Christian tapped out to his Figure-Four Edge Lock! Edge walked backstage, but a fallen Christian was still in the ring. He took the mic and said that he knew the fans expected him to throw a temper-tantrum, but he wasn't going to do it.

He said that he couldn't win a match anymore, but he wasn't going to cry. He said that instead of throwing a fit, he was going to do them one better. "As of right now, I quit!" he screamed, and he walked out of the building.

Backstage, the members of the nWo were still fleeing a rabid Rattlesnake. Hogan and Nash found an empty room and locked the door, but they realized that they had lost Hall! Nash told Hogan that they should go look for him, but the two talked themselves out of it, realizing that Stone Cold was still on the loose!

The Bladewolf walked into view with his baseball bat in hand when he heard them and frowned before he knocked on the door with his bat.

"Hello?" Hogan asked.

"Who's out there?" Nash asked.

"You two are a bunch of idiots." Bladewolf shakes his head.

"Bladewolf? let us out!" Nash shouted.

"Y'all started this with Austin, y'all can figure out how to end it. It's none of my business anyway. Bye-bye." bladewolf said and walked away.

"Dammit!" Nash shouted. "I hate that guy!"

"We'll do something about him." Hogan assured him...
