SmackDown: 17/8/2000
SmackDown was live at the Worcester Centrum in Worcester, Massachusetts. Triple H, Kurt Angle, Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley all appeared to be on the same page after Monday's RAW. The four got in the ring as SmackDown went on the air, and again seemed to be united. Shane declared that there was nothing more important to a McMahon than family. He said that his sister, Stephanie; his brother in law, Triple H; and the members of his professional family, including Kurt Angle, were the most important people in his life. He said that despite the rough waters, the problem was solved. Shane then took the crowd back to RAW, and the image of him, Triple H and Angle holding their arms in the air, calling it the "2000 McMahon Christmas Card."
Stephanie then asked Triple H and Kurt to shake hands in the interest of friendship. Surprisingly, the men apologized to each other and then shook hands! The four then embraced in a group hug as the sound of screeching tires filled the arena … and Commissioner Mick Foley came out!
Foley unveiled his family's 2000 Christmas card … the images of Kurt Angle kissing Stephanie on RAW and Triple H watching on in disgust. Foley said that The Rock didn't have much Christmas cheer, and that the Great One wanted revenge after being triple-teamed on Monday night. Foley said that one of the four would face The Rock in a one-on-one non-title match that night, but they would have to decide amongst themselves who it would be – whether it be Shane, Triple H, Angle, or even Stephanie!
In the women's locker room, The Kat and Terri got into a shouting match, as The Kat vowed that she and her mystery partner could defeat Terri and Perry Saturn.
In the McMahon locker room, the foursome debated who would take on The Rock that night.
The Kat's mystery partner turned out to be Rikishi! Despite the 400-pounder, Terri and Perry were victorious when Terri pinned Kat after Saturn clotheslined The Kat. But after the match, Kat got even. With Terri and Perry both knocked out, Kat set up Terri in the corner, and Rikishi gave her a Stink Face!
Back in the McMahon locker room, Shane said that he would face The Rock. Agitated, Triple H and Kurt Angle walked out.
Next up, Val Venis defended his Intercontinental Championship against Eddie Guerrero. During the match, Chyna got involved, as Mamacita powerbombed Eddie onto the floor from the ring apron! Trish soon took Chyna out of the match, however, as she broke a glass water pitcher over Chyna's head! As Eddie watched, Val rolled him up to retain his title!
Back in the McMahon locker room, Stephanie told Shane that she should be the one to face The Rock! The Women's Champion said she had a plan to take out the Great One, champion vs. champion
Her head still hurting from the glass pitcher, Chyna barged into Mick Foley's office and demanded a match with Trish! Foley refused, saying Chyna would tear Stratus apart. But Foley did make a mixed tag-team match for SummerSlam, pitting Eddie and Chyna against Trish and Val Venis!
In a six-man match, the Acolytes and Crash faced the Big Boss Man and Kaientai. Midway through the match, the Boss Man walked out on his partners for no apparent reason! That left Taka and Funaki to the wolves, as Bradshaw and Faarooq demolished the Japanese superstars en route to the win, as Crash pinned Taka.
Triple H, Kurt Angle and Shane returned to the McMahon locker room and emphatically told Stephanie that she would not be facing The Rock. Shane said that it would be Triple H against The Rock, an announcement that didn't sit well with Angle. Angle questioned why Shane and Triple H had such a problem with him, and why they couldn't accept that he and Stephanie were just friends.
Chris Jericho came out to provide color commentary as his opponent for SummerSlam, Chris Benoit, challenged Steve Blackman for the Hardcore Title. Despite Blackman opening his entire arsenal of hardcore tricks, Benoit seemed to have the title won when he locked on the Crossface. But Jericho ran into the ring and smacked Benoit in the back of the head in a steel chair, allowing Blackman to retain his title with a pinfall win!
Stephanie chased Kurt Angle down as he walked out of the parking lot, about to leave the arena. Kurt said that he clearly wasn't wanted at the arena, and therefore, he was leaving.
With Buh Buh Ray Dudley still shaken up from the double-chairshot he suffered on Monday (and sporting a hell of a shiner), D-Von teamed with Jeff Hardy to take on Edge and Christian. When Jeff went for a Swanton Bomb on Edge, Edge was able to move and Jeff instead hit D-Von. Edge then pinned D-Von for the win. After the match, the Hardys and the Dudleys had to be pulled apart.
Backstage, Kane paced back and forth while the Bladewolf remained still with his arms crossed, awaiting the arrival of their brother, the Undertaker.
The Right to Censor – Steven Richards, the Goodfather and Bull Buchanan – headed to the ring next, and again echoed their message of morality. They declared that they had a new mission – to censor Rikishi's ass, which they called the most deplorable thing on Federation television.
As they prepared for their match against Too Cool, X-Pac teased Road Dogg about the two-minute Stink Face he suffered on RAW.
Back in the arena, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler were discussing a clip when Tazz suddenly attacked Lawler, choking him out!
All seemed to be well between X-Pac and Road Dogg when DX took on Too Cool. But when Scotty was in trouble, the two couldn't agree on how to finish him off. X-Pac wanted to use the X-Factor, and the Dogg wanted to use the pump-handle slam. As the two shoved each other...
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Fire explodes on the stage after the wolf howls, and Out of the Fire plays. The Bladewolf and Kane make their way out and come down the ramp towards the ring.
"It's Kane! Kane and the Bladewolf! What the heck are they doing out here?!" Cole questioned. "We saw Kane and the Bladewolf Chokeslam their brother, the Undertaker, on RAW Monday night. And the Undertaker isn't even here, but the Bladewolf and Kane are making a beeline for X=Pac and Road Dogg!"
The brothers enter the ring and attack DX. Bladewolf grabs Road Dogg by the throat, while Kane grabs X-Pac by the throat. Together, they lifts them up... AND HIT DOUBLE CHOKESLAMS!
"Double Chokeslams!" Cole exclaimed. "Why is Kane and the Bladewolf doing this? What has gotten into them? Why did they snap and attack their brother?"
Bladewolf kicks Road Dogg and X-Pac out of the ring before he grabs a microphone which he hands to Kane. Kane flips his hair back and breaths heavily through the microphone.
"Why did we Chokeslam our brother?" Kane asked the question on everybody's minds. "We accept what we are. What we always have been on the inside. We. Are. MONSTERS!"
"What?" Cole asked as Kane hands the mic to Bladewolf. "Now Bladewolf has the microphone.
"What Kane means is we're what our brother, Undertaker, created us to be. Two soulless monsters that only he controls to do his dark bidding." Bladewolf said, pacing. "Now, we're free from his control and with our own hands, will take our lives back. No longer are we in your shadow, big brother. No longer are we living in your world. As of now, you're living in ours. And with our own hands, we'll take your soul and send it where you should've been long ago. To Burn…in…Hell!"
Bladewolf tosses the microphone aside as Kane's theme plays.
"Kane said he and Bladewolf accept what they've always been, that they're monsters? And Bladewolf said they'll take their own lives back? But that doesn't explain why they attacked the Undertaker!" Cole said before seeing something on the Titantron along with everyone else. "Wait a minute!"
It was the Undertaker, limping due to the Chokeslams he sustained on RAW, but he was walking with purpose. Neither Bladewolf or Kane were going anywhere as they waited.
Undertaker's theme played and out came the American Badass, ignorant of the officials trying to stop him from going towards his brothers.
"A confrontation of the ages." Cole said. "Officals trying to prevent the Undertaker from coming down to the ring. This is going to get ugly."
Undertaker makes it to the ring and gets in, despite the limp. Right away, he got in his brothers' faces, demanding to know why they attacked him on RAW. Neither Bladewolf or Kane answered as they turned away, but Undertaker turned them around harshly, making it clear they will answer him right now. Kane turns away, and the Undertaker shoves his face, causing Bladewolf to get in between and go eye to eye with the American Badass.
"Bladewolf and the Undertaker, eye-to-eye." Cole said.
Undertaker continues to demand an explanation but Bladewolf slowly shakes his head and backs up...JUST AS KANE ATTACKS THE UNDERTAKER FROM BEHIND!
"Kane from behind!" Cole said as Bladewolf and Kane start ganging up on their brother, stomping away. "Now Bladewolf and Kane, ganging up on their older brother! Attacking like vicious hyenas!"
Bladewolf shoves Undertaker outb the ring and gets out after him, Kane following. Bladewolf picks up a chaior, which he tosses to Kane who rears back... AND STRIKES THE UNDERTAKER IN THE SKULL! Bladewolf picks up a chair as well, rears it back... AND SMACKS THE UNDERTAKER IN THE SKULL AS WELL!
"Kane and Bladewolf with chair shots to the skull of their brother!" Cole said.
Bladewolf and Kane stalk their brother, before Bladewolf raises the chair... AND BRINGS IT DOWN ON THE BACK OF THE UNDERTAKER! Bladewolf backs up as Kane rears back... AND DELIVERS A CHAIR SHOT TO THE BACK AS WELL!
"Get up, big brother!" Kane demanded.
"Get up!" Bladewolf shouted.
Undertaker stumbles, slowly making it to his feet and he turns... INTO A CHAIR SHOT TO THE SKULL AGAIN BY THE BLADEWOLF!
"Oh my God!" Cole shouted. "A chair shot again off the skull!"
Bladewolf and Kane drop their chairs and watch their brother writhe and groan in pain as he turns over... AND HE'S BUSTED OPEN! THE UNDERTAKER IS BLEEDING!
"Bleed, big brother! Bleed!" Bladewolf shouted down at the Undertaker before Kane's theme plays as Bladewolf nods in approval at Kane, both of them liking what they've done to their own brother.
The two leave before SmackDown goes to commercial break...
And that's it for this chapter.
