1Chapter Five: Smackdown 2/24/06
The pyros go off and Tazz and Michael Cole introduce us to WWE Friday Night Smackdown.
"Hello, everyone and welcome to Friday Night Smackdown! I'm Michael Cole along with my broadcast partner Tazz and what a show we have for you tonight. Randy Orton takes on JBL in our main event tonight." Cole said.
"Yeah, what a match that will be. How about the Undertaker? He makes an appearance on Piper's Pit. Piper recently won a battle royal on Raw." Tazz said.
"That'll be good. And how about the Boogeyman and Lashley? They take on Booker T and World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle in a tag team table match." Cole said.
"Not to mention our match up next. In a Raw match on Smackdown, Raw Diva Search Winners Ashley Massaro and Christy Hemme team up with Women's Champion Trish Stratus to take on Torrie Wilson, Victoria and Candice Michelle!" Tazz said.
"And our last match of the night, United States Champion John Cena defends against Rey Mysterio!" Cole said. "Now, let the Diva Match begin!"
MATCH 1: TRISH, ASHLEY AND CHRISTY VS. TORRIE, VICTORIA AND CANDICE.
Trish and Vic started. Vic started with a collar and elbow tie-up. Trish broke it up and gave Vic a hard forearm to the face. Vic looked offended and then slapped Trish. Trish got upset and slapped Victoria right back. Vic went to slap Trish again, but Trish moved. Vic turned around and Trish gave her a snap suplex. The Women's Champion then went to the top rope and brought a double ax handle down to Victoria's face. Trish then tagged in the 2004 Diva Search Winner, Christy Hemme. Hemme came in and gave a hard kick to the side of Victoria. Victoria acted like she was just shot. Christy then went up top and brought a knee down on Victoria' face. Vic rolled to her corner and tug in Candice Michelle. Candice came in and took Christy down with a shoulder block. Christy got up and dodged Candice's attempt to dropkick her. Christy got on top of Candice and slammed her head against the canvas, several times before the ref broke them up. Christy then tug in the 2005 Diva Search Winner, Ashley Massaro. Ashley didn't even let Candice get up. She dropped a big elbow on Candice and then a leg drop. Then she put Candice in an armbar. Candice rolled out of it and then gave Ashley a DDT. Candice didn't cover. She got up and did the Go-Daddy. Ashley got up and gave Candice a hurricanrana. Candice rolled over to her corner and tagged in Torrie. Torrie came running in and hit Christy Hemme off of the apron, making her fly into the barricade, knocking her out.
Torrie then went after Ashley. Ashley reversed an Irish whip attempt and sent Torrie flying into the referee. Mickie James came running out and pulled Trish off of the apron. Ashley didn't see her and gave Torrie and hard DDT. Mickie rolled in the ring and gave Ashley a Mick Kick. Mickie revived the ref and put Torrie on top of Ashley for the three.
Winners: THE PLASTICS
After the match, Torrie and Candice got Trish on the outside and gave her a Double D-DDT. Ashley rolled out of the ring as Mickie posed. Ashley got a chair. She rolled back in the ring. Mickie turned around and Ashley hit her as hard as she could with the chair in the face. She got out of the ring and chased the Plastics backstage. Ashley came back down and helped Trish and Christy to the backstage area as Mickie received medical attention.
Backstage: The Plastics arrived backstage and Vince was upset.
"What the hell just happened? When did that psycho interrupt that match?" Vince said.
"We told her to." Torrie said.
"Why?"
"Because we were fighting the Women's Champion and a girl from New York that could probably kick our teeth down our throats if we are not careful, Vince. We needed all the help we could get. And did you see what Ashley did to Mickie James after the match? She hit the woman with a chair!" Torrie said.
"Well, since Mickie is your new friend, you should inform her that at Wrestle Mania she will face Ashley in the first-ever Women's No Holds Barred Match. And you three will face Trish, Christy and Melina in a six-woman Bra and Panties match." Vince said. "Go. You're dismissed."
MATCH 2: JOHN CENA VS. REY MYSTERIO ( UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP)
Cena and Mysterio started off with a handshake. Then, Cena lifted Rey in the air and hit a powerbomb for a near fall. Mysterio got up and ran under John's feet. Rey then gave Cena a bulldog. Cena scrambled to his feet and looked offended. Cena then took Rey down by giving him a tremendous clothesline. Rey looked liked he hurt his neck. He shook it off and then got on the top turnbuckle and dove off with a cross-body. The ref counted the two. Cena pushed Mysterio off. Mysterio got up and ran to Cena but Cena was ready and hit the FU. The ref counted the two. Cena looked shocked that Mysterio kicked out. Cena went for another but Rey rolled Cena up with a Victory Roll for the two.
Mysterio then hit the Three Amigos on Cena. Cena got up before Rey could cover. Cena then lifted Mysterio up for the FU again. He connected with the FU and then put Mysterio in the STFU. Mysterio screamed in agony. Mysterio was seconds from tapping when Randy Orton pulled the ref out of the ring and punched him. Orton rolled in the ring and broke up the STFU. Mysterio rolled over to a corner of the ring. Orton connected with stiff punches to the temple of Cena. Cena went to the top turnbuckle in an effort to get away from Orton but it was useless. Orton hit Cena in the leg and Cena fell on the turnbuckle, crotch first. Orton then grabbed Cena and hit a Super RKO. Orton grabbed Mysterio and put him on top of Cena. Orton got the ref from the outside. The ref made the count. 1...2...kickout! Orton couldn't believe it. Orton grabbed the US title. The ref didn't get up yet. Orton rolled into the ring and whacked Cena with the title. Orton revived the ref as Mysterio went outside the ring and hit a springboard leg drop for the three count.
Winner: REY MYSTERIO (NEW UNITED STATES CHAMPION)
After the match, Torrie Wilson came down and helped Cena to the back, leaving fans to speculate if they have a relationship or not.
MATCH 3: BOOGEYMAN AND LASHLEY VS. BOOKER T AND KURT ANGLE (TAG TEAM TABLE MATCH)
Angle and Lashley started off. Lashley gave stiff kicks to the gut and then lifted Angle up and gave him a Gorilla Press Slam. Booker T got a steel chair and went to use it on the Boogeyman, who threw worms at the man. Booker looked offended. The Boogeyman then chased Booker around the ring, doing that creepy dance the whole way. Angle intercepted the Boogeyman and gave him an Angle Slam into the steel post. The Boogeyman looked to be out cold. Angle and Booker then went to double team Lashley. To their surprise, Lashley gave them a double suplex. Booker rolled out of the ring. The Boogeyman was up already. He set up a table and got on the apron, dragging Booker behind him. He set Booker up for a pumphandle slam. Boogeyman hit the pumphandle slam off the apron, through the table. Booker rolled out from underneath Boogeyman and then collapsed on the Boogeyman, who didn't have the strength to move just yet. The ref looked out and saw Booker on top of the Boogeyman and awarded Booker and Kurt Angle the match.
WINNERS: KURT ANGLE AND BOOKER T
SEGMENT 1: PIPER'S PIT WITH THE UNDERTAKER
Roddy Piper made his way to the ring and grabbed a mic.
"Okay. So my experiences with Piper's Pit on Smackdown are limited. Last time, the Boogeyman ate the growth off of Jillian Hall's face. I must say she looks quite good now. But my guest tonight, did the unthinkable at No Way Out. He broke through the Titan Tron and choke slammed Mark Henry, yes the big 450 pound guy, off of a twenty foot ladder through four tables. Jesus, that was scary. Henry is now in the hospital. At Wrestle Mania, the Undertaker will square off in a World Heavyweight Championship match in the match of Taker's choosing. Let's see what match he chooses. Ladies and gentlemen, my guest tonight...THE UNDERTAKER!" Piper said.
The lights dimmed and the gong sounded. The blue lights and mist filled the arena as the Deadman made his way to the ring and climbed in. Taker grabbed a mic.
"Well, hello there, Deadman. I must say your bigger in person. Now, why don't we answer some questions. They are easy. Easy." Piper said slowly.
"Piper, cut the crap. I'm not stupid and I would not like to be talked to as if I was Eugene. Now, Piper there was a reason you called me to come on your show. What is it?" Undertaker said.
"I want to know why, Taker! Why did you chokeslam Mark Henry off f a twenty foot ladder through the Titan tron? Why did you come out at the Royal Rumble and make the ring explode? Why?" Piper said, firing up.
"Piper, you want to know why? Because Angle holds what I want. He has the world title. I choke slammed Henry off of the ladder to prove a point. To prove that I wasn't kidding when I told Angle I was coming for his title. And at Wrestle Mania...not only will I make my record 14-0, I will defeat Angle in my zone. I will defeat Kurt Angle and take his Championship...in an Inferno Match! And at Wrestle Mania, Kurt Angle will Rest...In...Peace!" The Undertaker said. He went to walk away and then grabbed Piper by the throat. He turned Piper upside down and gave him a Tombstone Piledriver. Taker then rolled his eyes behind his head as the lights went off. They came back on and the Undertaker was gone...
Backstage, Kurt Angle got up in Theodore Long's face.
"You mean, I have to put my title on the line against the Undertaker at Wrestle Mania. Not only that, in an Inferno match? I...no. I refuse to face Taker." Angle said.
"Okay, playa. I could just strip you of your title and make the Undertaker face someone else, ya feel me?" Long said.
"No, Teddy. I don't 'feel' you. You strip me of my title and I will sue your ass for everything you have." Angle said.
"You'll sue me? Playa, are you going to defend against the Undertaker or not?" Teddy Long asked.
"No, I'm not. I refuse to get my ass burned by some dead freak." Angle said.
"Good, playa. Look at that scratch on that belt. Let me see that." long said and Angle gave him the belt. "Thanks, playa. Now, consider yourself out of the Main Event at Wrestle Mania. Holla,holla,holla!" Long said.
"Long, you can't do this to me! I'm an Olympic Gold Medalist!" Angle said.
"Good. You ain't God. I don't care if your Rocky Balboa or Hulk Hogan. I just stripped you of your title and there ain't nothing you can do about it, playa." Long said. Angle slapped him.
"Angle, I should fire you for that. But I'm not. Instead, you will face Mark Henry in a First Blood Match at Wrestle Mania. You, Kurt Angle, are not allowed to use the Angle Slam, Angle Lock or weapons. Basically, your screwed playa. Now, holla at your boy and get out of my office." Long said.
MAIN EVENT: RANDY ORTON VS. CHRIS BENOIT (JBL)
Orton started off by thumbing JBL in the eye. JBL held his eye and screamed in pain. Theodore Long came strutting out. He got a mic. "Playa, didn't I tell you were not allowed on Smackdown until Wrestle Mania? Now, JBL, get out of my ring. Orton, don't you leave yet. I have found more than a suitable replacement for you, playa. Your new opponent is Chris Benoit!" Long said and got out of the ring as Benoit stormed the ring and started chopping Orton like crazy. Orton couldn't defend himself and Benoit gave Orton about 25 chops before the ref got Benoit away. The Rabid Wolverine was soon at it again. This time Orton deliberately kicked Benoit in the balls to get himself disqualified. As Benoit held himself, Orton took control of the situation and gave Benoit a RKO. Benoit was laid out of the canvas, old cold. Orton got and chair and hit Benoit in the arm a good five times. John Cena came running from the crowd with a bandage on his head. Cena got another chair and whacked Orton in the back with it. Cena then set up both chairs in a sitting position and gave Cena a FU on the chairs. As Smackdown went off the air, Cena held Orton's Intercontinental Championship while checking on Chris Benoit.
WINNER: CHRIS BENOIT BY DQ
Next Up: Randy Orton vs Rey Myserio for the US title. A New World Heavyweight Champion and the Undertaker vs. Roddy Piper. Ashley takes on Torrie Wilson. And what about Torrie and Cena? What's going on between them? We will find out in chapter six!
