SmackDown: 4/5/2000
SmackDown was live at the Richmond Coliseum in Richmond, Virginia. The show started with a Backlash rematch between Chris Jericho and Chris benoit for Benoit's Intercontinental Championship. The bout was every bit as good as the classic encounter from Backlash. The turning point came when Benoit was reprimanded by referee Earl Hebner, the hero of Monday's RAW who enjoyed a rousing ovation from his hometown crowd. Benoit shoved Hebner, who shoved Benoit out of the ring. Out of nowhere, Jericho hit Benoit with the Intercontinental belt and executed the Lionsault for the 1,2,3 to become Intercontinental Champion for the third time!
Mr. McMahon addressed the crowd, flanked by the McMahon-Helmsley regime and D-Generation X, and called Richmond a town of historical significance. After a brief history lesson, Mr. McMahon then said Richmond is known for a corrupt city council and the home of corrupt Federation official, Earl Hebner. The Federation owner recapped Hebner's recent actions and ordered that Hebner compete "in that very ring!" Hebner was to team with Federation Champion The Rock in a handicap match against Triple H, X-Pac and the Road Dogg, with the title on the line. If The Rock OR Hebner is pinned, the winner of the match becomes the new champion!
Tag Team Champions Edge and Christian underwent facial treatment as a result of Rikishi's stink face on RAW.
Eddie Guerrero and Chyna continued their feud with Essa Rios and Lita, who was a bit apprehensive about having to face the Ninth Wonder of the World. Lita, though, did get a few kicks in – when Chyna was off her feet. After breathtaking action between Rios and the European Champion, Lita's attempt at a flying bodypress was refuted by a Chyna powerbomb. "Mamacita" proceeded to take Lita apart and get the win for "Latino Heat."
Hardcore Holly cared less about Kurt Angle's philosophy and feelings toward Virginia, which won crowd sentiment towards Holly's favor. The match was a virtual draw until Angle suffered a knee injury, but Hardcore made the mistake of shoving the referee, who shoved Hardcore into an Angle, match-winning back suplex. But it was Hardcore who got the last laugh, attacking the former Olympian after the match.
Edge and Christian proudly announced their faces were "ass free" before their handicap match against Rikishi, but it wasn't long until Edge received a second dose of stink face. Edge came back with a spear and the tag champs took control. Once the action spilled to the outside, momentum shifted back in Rikishi's favor, and he backed his ass back into the ring to gain the countout win. In a post-match attack, Edge and Christian were about to nail Rikishi with the timekeeper's bell until Too Cool cleaned house and did their dance.
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Tori verbally undressed the Dudley Boyz, telling them it's pretty pathetic that they had to pick on women to make themselves feel strong, before adding she and Tori are two girls they don't mess with. D-Von warned Buh Buh Ray the repercussions of attacking Stephanie. Buh Buh's response was a sadistic smile.
Next up, T&A take on the Hardy Boyz.
T & A gave it a go without Trish Stratus, who was most likely recovering from the Chokeslam given to her by the Bladewolf at Backlash. Test and Albert's strength dictated the match until suddenly...A RING POST WAS STRUCK WITH A BOLT OF LIGHTNING!
"Woah!" jerry exclaimed as T&A flinched in surprise.
"What was that?!" Cole shouted.
"Looked like... a bolt of lightning?" Jerry was confused.
The distraction allowed Jeff to roll Test up while Matt dropkicked Albert! ONE! TWO! THREE! THE HARDY BOYZ BEAT T&A!
"The Hardys win!" Cole exclaimed as the Hardy Boyz' theme plays and they escape the ring while T&A flip out over their loss.
As they argued with the referee... FIRE EXPLODES FROM THE TURNBUCKLES!
"What the hell?!" Cole shouted.
"What was that?!" Jerry shouted as well.
"That was fire! Fire just... exploded from the turnbuckles..." Cole trails off as a evil, demonic-sounding laughter echoes throughout the arena, leaving everyone confused and speechless as the laughter continues. T&A looked around frantically, wondering what the hell was going on...
We all know who did that anyway, so...
The next few chapters may be short due to them being Bladewolf and his mind games with very little appearance from the Demon Wolf himself.
