SmackDown: 20/4/2000

SmackDown was live at the First Union Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Road Dogg kicked things off in singles competition against Edge, one-half of the Federation's Tag Team Champions. After non-stop action back and forth, Road Dogg reversed an Edge roll up and hooked his tights to gain the win.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley addressed the crowd. HHH denied that Monday on RAW was a bad day, claming he never lost the Federation Championship to Chris Jericho and that it's not in the record books. HHH also claimed the record books will show that there was "a quick count by an incompetent official," and that the McMahon-Helmsley regime fired that official (Earl Hebner). The champ, though, did have a problem with Linda McMahon's big announcement and berated her for slapping her only daughter! There was also an issue with Stephanie's "hot-headed brother," who HHH referred to as a "momma's boy!" Switching the subject to The Rock, his opponent at Backlash, Triple H announced a Lumberjack Match between The Rock and Jericho, adding that the lumberjacks were being hand-selected by Shane McMahon. Suddenly, out came Tazz, the ECW Champion! Tazz challenged The Game, saying the title didn't have to be on the line. HHH accepted and vowed to prove the Federation's superiority over ECW.

Backstage, Kurt Angle accepted Stephanie's invitation to be a lumberjack in the main event. Mrs. Helmsley seemed a little smitten with the Olympic gold medallist!

Chyna gave Essa Rios a second chance to team with Eddie Guerrero, this time against the Dudley Boyz, before warning Lita not to screw up like she did on RAW (Guerrero was in a good mood after passing his GED test). The Dudleys went for 3-D but Guerrero pulled Buh Buh Ray out of the ring. Moments later, Lita attempted a swan dive on Buh Buh Ray but hit Guerrero instead! Rios then became a victim of 3-D to earn D-Von and Buh Buh Ray the win. Chyna made Lita pay after the match, throwing her to the Dudleys who put the vixen through a table!

The Radicals were successfully recruited by Shane to be lumberjacks.

Rikishi Phatu squared off against the Big Show, who was more in the mood to dance. Show grabbed the mic, calling Philadelphia his town, and challenged Rikishi to a dance contest! Show was up first, taking a page out of Too Cool's book (Rikishi couldn't help to crack a smile). Donning the shades, Rikishi mixed it up until he was jumped from behind by the Big Show. Later in the match, Show did his best imitation of Scotty Too Hotty and executed the Worm to the delight of the crowd. Rikishi recovered and took Show over the top rope with a clothesline, which resulted in a double countout. As Show walked back to the dressing room, Rikishi called him back to the ring to finish what he started. Rikishi put his yellow shades on Big Show, who returned the favor. The two got down much to the dismay of Kurt Angle, who watched from the back. Show extended his hand for a high five, but was greeted with a kick to the face!

Strictly for pride, Tazz got his match with Triple H, and took it straight to the Federation Champion. Tazz locked in the Tazzmission but Triple H countered with a low blow while Stephanie distracted the referee. Triple H nailed the Pedigree and seemed to have the match won until ECW's Tommy Dreamer hit the apron! HHH nailed Dreamer with a right hand, but ECW's "Innovator of Violence" came back with a chair. Aiming for Triple H, Dreamer accidentally hit Tazz with the chair and got Pedigreed for his efforts. HHH then covered the fallen Tazz for the win.

The Godfather led Philly's finest hos to ringside as he and partner D'Lo Brown took on T & A with Trish Stratus. However, during the match, the Bladewolf walked out and stood on the stage.

"Look who's here!" Jerry said.

"That's the Bladewolf." Cole said.

"What's he doing out here?" Jerry asked.

Bladewolf just stood on the stage, as stilll as a statue. He was staring directly at Trish Stratus who noticed him and smiled, licking her lips and even blowing him a kiss.

"There's your answer, King." Cole said as Bladewolf tilts his head like Michael Myers. "On RAW, Trish actually kissed the Bladewolf! I think the Bladewolf was as tunned as everyone else is, and now he's out here just... staring at Trish."

"He really is like Michael Myers!" Jerry said as Bladewolf keeps tilting his head slowly left and right.

Bladewolf then starts to walk down the ramp which makes the crowd cheer until he stops in his tracks, looking like he was considering something. Then he starts to walk backwards before he turns and goes backstage.

"What was that all about?" Jerry asked.

"i am not sure, King." Cole shook his head.

After the Christian vs X-Pac match, the camera cut to the backstage area where the Bladewolf is seen walking down a hallway, adjusting his right elbow pad as he walked.

"Hey Bladewolf!" Shane McMahon appears and Bladewolf stops as the son of Vince hesitantly approaches. "I'm not here to fight or anything! I just... came to talk. I know you and I have never seen eye to eye, I mean... I did try to cost you the WWF Title and nearly succeeded, but that was then and this is now! But look, I'm here to make you a proposition! there's a Lumberjack mtch tonight between Chris Jericho and the Rock, and I want you to be there with that evil attitude you ad on RAW when you destroyed the Dudley Boyz and Head Cheese."

Bladewolf just stared at him before he shoves past him and starts walking away, causing Shane to sputter before he quickly called out.

"Trish Stratus will be there!"

Bladewolf stopped in his tracks and stared ahead.

"I assure you, she will be there and you can get your hands on her, as well as T&A seeing as you will be facing them at Backlash in a two-on-one Handicap match." Shane said as Bladewolf turns to him. "So what do you say?"

Bladewolf just points at Shane, then does the throat slit gestue. The message was clear: You lie, your soul is mine.

With that, Bladewolf walked away.

Kurt Angle sought retribution for WrestleMania in a one-on-one title match against Chris Benoit for the latter's Intercontinental Championship. The amaetur skills of both grapplers were on display thoughout. Benoit prepared to finish Angle off with the swan dive until the Big Show shoved him off the top rope, giving Benoit the disqualification win. Show then chased Angle, his opponent at Backlash, to the back.

With great pleasure, Big Boss Man and Bull Buchanan accepted Triple H's invite to be lumberjacks. Ditto the rest of DX.

Crash Holly took a break from the 24-7 defense of his Hardcore Championship to visit the circus. He was approached by two clowns who recognized him immediately. No wonder, it was Pete Gas of the Mean Street Posse, flanked by Federation referee Teddy Long! Rodney and Joey Abs would join the fray, but the "Houdini of Hardcore" escaped with the belt and his hide once again!

Triple H and Stephanie walked out with the lumberjacks, followed by Chris Jericho and The Rock. The lumberjacks did their job, but not before getting in a few punches and kicks for good measure. The Rock barely kicked out of the Jericho moonsault, the same moved Y2J used to defeat Triple H on RAW. Moments later, both Rock and Jericho exited the ring to attack the lumberjacks, but to no avail. As Triple H distracted the referee, Benoit hit Jericho with his swan dive and X-Pac nailed The Rock with the X-Factor. Rock came back with Rock Bottom, but Triple H pulled him out of the ring. A second Rock Bottom didn't do The Rock any good either due to Shane keeping the ref away from the action. With the ref's attention toward Shane, Triple H saw his opening to nail The Rock with his championship belt and pull Jericho on top of him for the 1-2-3 win.

However, as the match ended, the Bladewolf saw that Trish Stratus wasn't at ringside with T&A and once he spotted Shane, he went after the Boy Wonder who's eyes widened before he ran backstage with the cameras following them.

Shane was seen looking for places to hide and even tripping over some tables before he spotted Trish Stratus up ahead. "Trish! Trish! Trish! You gotta help me!"

"What?" Trish gave him an annoyed look.

"The Bladewolf's after me! You gotta stop him!" Shane begged her.

Trish rolled her eyes. "Fine."

Bladewolf soon arrived and Shane hid behind Trish as Bladewolf stormed right up until Trish walked forward and placed a hand on his chest, halting him his tracks. "Easy, Bladewolf." Trish said softly. "You don't have to do this. He's not worth unleashing your anger and frustration on."

"You should listen to her." Shane added but backed off when Bladewolf and Trish glared at him.

"Do you mind?" Trish asked him with annoyance and Shane shut his mouth. Trish turned back to Bladewolf and placed her hands on his mask, making sure his gaze was pulled onto her and nothing else. "Listen to me... shh... calm down. While I would love to watch you destroy Shane McMahon, forget your anger towards him. There are others to destroy and leave broken and destroyed. Just let go of the anger, for me? As a favour? I'll be more than happy to repay that favour at some point."

Bladewolf, oddly, calms down and relaxes before he walks away, causing Shane to sigh in relief. "Thank you." he thanked Trish who just scoffed with an eye roll before she walked away to her locker room...

Hope you liked that.
