8:00
(Smackdown starts with the video of Vince, Rock, and Flair being kidnapped, and then a video of The Rock running to the ring and attacking Edge. The cameras then go to ringside where Vince McMahon and Mick Foley are waiting.)
Mick: Welcome to Smackdown! We are only ten days away from Vengeance and the card is hot. I'm Mick Foley and I'm here with the President of the World Wrestling Federation, Vince McMahon.
Vince: It's nice to be here Mick. I will be your permanent partner until Vengeance. Then after Vengeance we will see the return of two World Wrestling Federation veterans, Jim Ross and Jerry 'The King' Lawler. Tonight will be a great night for the World Wrestling Federation because Ric Flair will make two major announcements.
Mick: I can't wait to hear from him, but we're going to start things off with a #1 Contender match for the Light Heavyweight Title.
(Jeff Hardy enters the ring.)
Vince: These three guys are all very talented and will definitely bring some excitement to the Vengeance card.
(Eddie Guerrero enters the ring.)
Mick: They sure will Vince, but another match that should be a good one is the match between the two brothers Kane and Undertaker with the TV Title on the line.
(Spike Dudley enters the ring.)
Vince: The most over looked match could end up being the show stealer, and that is the Hardcore Title match
(Eddie and Jeff double team Spike and put him down with a suplex. They then start to fight between themselves. Jeff goes to the top rope and hits a crossbody on Guerrero. Spike headbutts Jeff, but Hardy retaliates by tossing Spike across the ring. Guerrero elbows Jeff and then sets him up for a tornado DDT. Spike dropkicks Guerrero and then goes to the top rope. Jeff hits the rope causing Spike to hurt his genitals. Jerry Lynn comes out and watches the match from outside the ring. Jeff stares him down and Lynn tries to hit him with the title while the referee isn't looking. Jeff ducks and Lynn hits Guerrero. Jeff does a baseball slide to Lynn and then throws him into the stairs. Spike tries to get to Jeff, but the high flying Hardy runs across the barricade and hits a crossbody. He gets on the outside of the ring and pulls Guerrero's head onto the rope. He gets up on the top turnbuckle and does a swanton bomb for the victory.)
Mick: Jeff Hardy will meet Jerry Lynn at Vengeance. I can't believe he pulled it off.
Vince: I'm also surprised Mick. I was sure Eddie Guerrero would get away with this match.
(Steven Richards is backstage with Justin Credible.)
Steve: Justin, on Raw we saw X-FACTOR lose to Test and The Perfect Show, but you may have gotten some revenge with what you did after the match. Tonight we will see X-PAC challenge Mr. Perfect for the European Title, but The Big Show will be at ringside. What are your feelings on that match?
Justin: Steven, you talk too much. The Big Show can be wherever he wants, but it's not going to change the result. Hell, it's not even going to phase X-PAC. X-FACTOR did lose to Test and those other to losers, but when Vengeance arrives and Albert teams with X-PAC in a match for the Tag Team Titles, we will be the best team around.
Steve: Where do you fit into the Vengeance picture? So far you're just the World Wrestling Federation Commissioner and nothing more. X-PAC and Albert could just be using you.
Justin: Damn it Steven keep your mouth shut if you're not going to say anything nice. X-FACTOR was put back together by me. I'm going to play a big part in Vengeance because if X-PAC loses by any chance, I'll be there to take the title away from Mr. Perfect. Perfect, I'm challenging you to a match at-.
(Mr. Perfect approaches Justin and Steven.)
Perfect: Justin, you can kiss any chances of getting your unperfect hands on my title. I'm the best person in the world and there will never be anyone better than me. Why don't you close your eyes and dream and unperfect dream about facing me, because I'm not putting my perfect title and perfect body in the ring with you?
Justin: I beg to differ Perfect. I don't need to close my eyes because I hold in my hands the power to put your "perfect" title on the line against anyone I want. Gear up man, you just earned yourself a spot against me at Vengeance. Don't worry though, no one expects you to be this good.
(Justin walks off and Smackdown goes to a commercial. When the show returns, Ric Flair's music is playing.)
Ric: Woooooo! Welcome to Smackdown. I know that the nWo have been causing problems since arriving back in the WWF, but I'll get to that later. Right now the Nature Boy has a couple of other things he wants to get off his chest. Justin, I know you want to be the commissioner of the WWF really bad, but Vince and I believe you are only doing it for yourself. You put X-FACTOR against Test and The Perfect Show, you put X-PAC against Mr. Perfect, and now you have put yourself against Mr. Perfect. That is completely unacceptable. Therefore Justin, as of the end of tonight you have been removed from you job of commissioner.
Mick: Ric Flair just took away Justin Credible's job of commissioner.
Vince: It was a tough decision to make Mick, but he was only using it for him.
Ric: Secondly, there has been an outrage lately involving the Light Heavyweight Champion and the Light Heavyweight #1 Contender. They have been after each other all month trying to hurt each other. Well at Vengeance, the Light Heavyweight Title match between Jerry Lynn and Jeff Hardy will be a ladder match.
Mick: That match will be a very fast pace match. Both men are fast and willing to go at it.
Ric: Now it's time to put an end to the crap that the nWo has done to the WWF. Vince and I are the owners of the WWF and will be extremely happy to see the nWo gone after Vengeance. They need to be taken care of now though. Hogan, you're already suspended, but tonight I'm going to punish the rest of you. Shane, tomorrow night we will have a big house show that will involve some big matches. Well Shane, get ready to main event the show because you will be taking on The Undertaker. Scott Hall, I'm going to be nice and give you the weekend off, but when you return on Raw you will be facing The Rock. Edge, you don't have a clue to what you've gotten yourself into. You crossed a major line when you decided to screw with me and Vince, but I'm punishing you by putting you in a match against Mr. Perfect next week on Smackdown. Now onto Kevin Nash. Man you have to be the sorriest son of a bitch I have ever seen. You are lucky I'm not going to suspend you, but instead I'm going to do something better. Kevin Nash you better get ready for your match because it's tonight, and it's against, woooooo, Kane!
Vince: That's my partner. Flair can really make some good matches and the nWo are going to suffer.
Mick: You brought the nWo into the WWF. This is your fault.
Vince: I brought them in but they stopped listening to me. It may be my fault but I'm taking them out also.

8:35
(X-PAC's music is playing.)
Mick: Welcome back ladies and gentleman. If you are just joining us, Ric Flair just made three major announcements. The first one is Justin Credible lost his commissioner job. Next came the announcement that the match for the Light Heavyweight Title will be a ladder match. Finally, it was announced that the nWo will each have very intense matches on the way to Vengeance. I still don't see why you brought the nWo into the WWF in the first place Vince.
Vince: I'm Vince McMahon damn it. I can do whatever I damn well please. I brought the nWo to get rid of Flair, but we put our differences behind us and are on the same page.
(Mr. Perfect comes to the ring with The Big Show and Test.)
Mick: You may be on the same page, but that doesn't prevent the nWo from reeking havoc on the World Wrestling Federation.
Vince: We're working on it. That's why they are in these matches and that's why they are being fired after Vengeance.
Mick: Later tonight we will see The Big Show go one on one with the man who believes he can beat anybody, Chris Jericho.
Vince: He can beat anyone Mick. The man was brave enough to stand up to the nWo and he will defeat The Big Show.
(X-PAC starts the match with some slaps to the chest of Mr. Perfect. He then hits a few spinning heel kicks and a german suplex. Perfect comes back with a low blow while the referee is being distracted by The Big Show. Test tries to get in the ring and this allows Perfect to put X-PAC's head in the ropes and jump onto it from the turnbuckle. He unties X-PAC's head and hits a leg drop on the top rope. Justin Credible comes to the ring to help X-PAC but he's held back by the referee. The Big Show and Test get in the ring and Mr. Perfect gets a chair. Test hits a big boot and The Big Show follows with a chokeslam. Perfect hits X-PAC with the chair and then lays down as if he was hit. Big Show puts the chair in X-PAC's hand and tells the referee to watch the match. The referee sees the chair in X-PAC's hand and disqualifies him. Justin cracks and gets into the ring. Big Show and Test come after him, but he superkicks both of them. He lifts Mr. Perfect up and leans him against the turnbuckle. Justin lifts the chair over his head and hits Perfect and then leaves with X-PAC.)
Mick: Justin Credible just got his revenge on The Perfect Show.
Vince: That's why he's not going to be commissioner. This was X-PAC's match and he tried getting involved.
Commercial
(Smackdown comes back and Rhyno's music is playing. He comes to the ring and tosses a trashcan filled with a baseball bat and a wrench in it.)
Mick: Earlier we announced that Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler will be returning after Vengeance. It's going to be great seeing them back in the Federation, but make sure Paul Heyman doesn't find his way into the building.
Vince: I'll never let that son of a bitch into my building. He turned my children against me damn it.
(Maven enters the ring with Al Snow by his side.)
Mick: We're all geared up for a Hardcore #1 Contender Match between the reigning contender Rhyno and the challenger Maven.
Vince: One of the best things about these matches is you never know who's going to show up and you can't trust anyone.
Mick: You found out first hand that you can't trust the nWo even though you're the reason they are here.
Vince: Shut your mouth and call the match.
(Maven and Rhyno throw some punches before going for the weapons. Rhyno grabs his trashcan and takes out a baseball bat while Al Snow gives Maven a stop sign. Maven turns around and receives a shot from the bat. Rhyno hits him continuously and then DDTs him onto the stop sign. Snow gets into the ring, but Rhyno hits him with a trashcan lid. Maven lands a dropkick on Rhyno and then gets under the ring. He comes out with a fire extinguisher, kendo stick, and a couple trashcans. He hurls them all into the ring and then begins to fight with Rhyno outside the ring. Rhyno gets a lead on Maven, but Snow hits Rhyno with a cookie pan. The match goes back into the ring and Maven takes control. He hits Rhyno with the kendo stick and the trashcan and picks up the fire extinguisher. Just as Maven sprays the foam, Rhyno lifts a trashcan lead and uses it for a shield. He then crashes the trashcan lid over Maven's head. He waits for Maven to get up and gores him. He then busts Al open with the wrench and covers Maven for the win.)
Mick: I don't know how Rhyno does it, but he comes out of this two on one assault and is still the #1 Contender.
Vince: That's why he's here in the WWF. Rhyno is hardcore and that's just what we need in our hardcore division.
(Undertaker approaches Flair in Ric's office.)
Ric: Damn it 'Taker, what do you think you're doing here?
'Taker: I want to know why you put Kevin Nash against Kane. I beat the hell out of my brother last weekend and I'm not about to see that TV Title go to some idiot like Kevin Nash.
Ric: Man, I thought I told you not to question my judgment. I'm the boss not you. I put Kane against Nash because I believe in him and Nash needs to be punished. Deadman, there is not other way to deal with Nash.
'Taker: I could have taken care of him. I deserve some damn respect around here and I'm not getting any. You saw what I did to my brother and you know how I feel about family. I guess now that I can't take out Nash, I'm going to have to vent my anger on you.
Ric: Don't threaten me Deadman. I'm not going to stand for it and if you step over the line I'm going to cancel your match with Kane. I'm giving you the chance to take care of Shane McMahon and if you can't do that for me then I guess you're going to have to earn your spot against Kane. I make the rules and I say you take out Shane or you fight for the chance to face Kane. Now get out of my office.

(Rikishi's music is playing and he comes to the ring.)
Mick: The Undertaker doesn't know how to leave Flair alone. I'm going to love seeing Kane destroy him.
Vince: He better watch himself. I don't care who he is, he should be suspended for talking like that.
(Perry Saturn's music plays.)
Mick: He only wants a shot at Kane. He must think Kane is going to lose tonight.
Vince: If Kane loses tonight, I'll have to fire him for not taking Nash out of the picture.
(Saturn starts the match with some karate kicks to the stomach of Rikishi. Rikishi bounces of the rope and backs it up into Saturn. Rikishi headbutts Saturn and then sends him flying into the turnbuckle. Saturn falls and receives a stinkface from Rikishi. Rikishi waits for Saturn to get up and superkicks him for the win.)
Vince: That is disgusting. I don't know why I allow him to do it. I've been there before and I'll never go there again.
Mick: Many people have been there Vince, but never in the way you went in.
Vince: I can only feel sorry for Chris Jericho. The Big Show accepted his challenge for a match tonight.
Mick: That one will definitely be scary, but it could end up being nothing compared to what he may receive from Kevin Nash in 12 days. Vengeance will be live from the sold out Pepsi Center in Colorado on December 29th, but you can only see it on Pay Per View or at WWF New York.
Vince: The best part is anyone with DirecTV will be able to see Vengeance.
(Chris Jericho is shown on his way to the ring and then a shot of The Big Show warming up in the back.)

9:25
(The nWo are backstage talking.)
Shane: Way to go guys. We've got my father and Ric right where we want them. They didn't know what hit them when we jumped them on Monday.
Hall: Man, what about those crappy punishments they dished out to us? I've got to take on The Rock on Monday and I won't be at the shows this weekend to help out.
Edge: No problem guys. Hall, you've got The Rock over the edge. He's not going to have the mental toughness to fight you. The nWo is totally awesome man. I've got a feeling it's going to be lights out for The Corporation after they get a taste of us.
(Nash enters the room.)
Hogan: Where have you been brother? We've got some business to take care of.
Nash: Chill man. The retard limo driver didn't know where he was going. So what's the big worry?
Shane: You've got a match tonight. It's the main event.
Nash: Oh no! I've got a match tonight. Come on dude who's it against. It can't be that bad.
Shane: It's against Kane.
Nash: Oh shit! You're gonna be there right?
Shane: You bet. Let's show Kane why the nWo is 2 sweet, but if you are nWo you're nWo 4 life.
(The countdown begins and Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring.)
Vince: I don't know what the nWo are planning, but they better not come near this ring later.
Mick: The guys are dirty and don't deserve to be here. I'm telling you right now that I voted both times for the nWo to be fired.
(The Big Show's music plays and he makes his way out to the ring.)
Vince: I'm proud of you Mick. I knew you would come through for me and that's why I chose you to be on the board.
Mick: Well as much as I hate your guts I'm still glad to be back and see that the WWF are back.
(Jericho slaps The Big Show across the chest and sends him into the rope. He tries to clothesline The Big Show, but isn't strong enough. Show then clotheslines the living legend back to earth. Jericho attempts to come back with and elbow and a missile dropkick, but The Big Show catches Jericho on a second dropkick attempt and does a military press. Jericho seems to be down, but kicks out after a two count and comes back against the 500 lbs. giant. Jericho hits a bulldog and then goes for a lionsault. The Big Show gets up and Y2J lands on his feet. He didn't notice Scott Hall come to ringside though, and meets a chair in the back of the head. Jericho gets the win due to disqualification, but also gets a nWo ass kicking from Edge and Scott Hall.)
Vince: The damn nWo have stuck their noses in other people's business again. It's going to be a long week and a half for them.
Mick: Ladies and gentleman when we come back Kevin Nash will have an opportunity to win the TV Title against Kane. It's coming up next.
Commercial
9:45
(Kevin Nash enters the ring with Shane by his side.)
Mick: Welcome back to Smackdown. We just saw an attack from the nWo to Chris Jericho and have been told that Jericho is ok. Something really needs to be done to these guys Vince.
Vince: I wish there was some way to put an end to this, but we have to go through board to get them suspended. We don't feel that suspending and firing them will compare to the things people like Kane can do to them.
(Kane enters the ring.)
Mick: We can only hope that The Undertaker and the nWo can mind their own business so that Kane can get the job done tonight. The bell has rung so this match is underway.
(Kane starts strong against Nash, but soon loses control when Shane distracts him. Nash hits a clothesline and follows it with a boot to the face. Kane gets back up and gives Nash a clothesline of his own. Shane gets in the ring with a chair, but Kane meets him with a chokeslam. Nash tries to powerbomb Kane, but it is reversed. The Undertaker heads for the ring and Kane hits him with the chair. Kane turns around and receives a boot to the face, but the referee is knocked out from and interference from Shane. Stone Cold runs down to the ring and attacks Shane. Stunner to Shane followed by a stunner to Nash. Kane goes to the top rope and hits a flying clothesline on The Undertaker. Kane does a chokeslam to Nash and gets the victory. Shane gets in the ring and so does The Undertaker. They beat on Kane until Stone Cold comes back to the ring. He chases them out and then celebrates inside the ring with Kane.)
Vince: The nWo have been taught a big lesson. They're running like the babies they are.
Mick: That's right Vince. The nWo have tasted their own poison. Come out to one of our House Shows this weekend if we are in a town near you. We will be in Pittsburgh on Friday and then we'll move to Madison Square Gardens for our Saturday show. For those of you who can't make it we will be live on MTV for Sunday Night Heat so be sure to come out or tune in. I'm Mick Foley and this has been a great Smackdown.
END SHOW
10:01
That's it. I'm either working on the house shows as you're reading this or they are already up. I'm going to be working non-stop on this for the next two weeks so that I can get to Vengeance. Only 7 more chapters before Vengeance! Hope you liked the show and I would appreciate it if you would leave a review with a rating from 1-5. 5 is the best as always. Thanks.
