SmackDown: 25/5/2000
SmackDown was live at the Roberts Municipal Stadium in Evansville. SmackDown opened with police officers stationed in the center of the ring, at the request of Mr. McMahon. When the limousine carrying Mr. McMahon, Shane McMahon and Gerald Brisco arrived, Mr. McMahon demanded that the Undertaker be arrested for trespassing Monday on RAW. Not even a second after Mr. McMahon promised that what happened Monday would not take place this evening, the Undertaker appeared and attempted to run the owner of the World Wrestling Federation over with his motorcycle!
An incensed Mr. McMahon screamed at the officers for not protecting him from the Undertaker's attack, and called out the Grim Reaper. Out came the Phenom of the Federation, decked in a black trench coat, dark glasses and blue bandana. After asking who the hell the Undertaker thought he was, Mr. McMahon warned that he would pay a price for his actions.
Mr. McMahon proceeded to verbally attack the Undertaker, first telling him that he single-handedly cost The Rock the Federation Title at Judgment Day. Then he addressed Monday night, saying he could have arrested him for trespassing that evening if he wanted to, and informed him that he is without a contract and that nobody walks out on Vince McMahon. On those grounds, the Federation's owner demanded the Undertaker's arrest. But the Phenom revealed that it was Linda McMahon who re-signed him to a new contract - "lots of years, lots of zeros" - before Judgment Day.
So since he couldn't have the Undertaker arrested for trespassing, Mr. McMahon demanded his arrest for attempted vehicular homicide. One officer responded that if he should arrest the Undertaker, he would have to arrest Mr. McMahon as well, for assaulting a police officer by jamming his finger in his chest. Mr. McMahon was left alone with the Undertaker, who grabbed him by the throat in a chokeslam attempt. Shane came to his father's rescue, but his chair shot had no effect on the Grim Reaper!
Tag Team Champions Edge and Christian informed fans that they issued an open challenge to any team that they haven't beaten, except they claimed that they've defeated everybody. Everybody except Eddie Guerrero and Chyna. "Latino Heat" took the match right to the champions with quick tags and double teams. Edge came back with a standing dropkick, and the champs kept the European Champion in their half of the ring. Guerrero reversed an attempted Christian powerbomb into a sunset flip, and was able to make the needed tag to Chyna. The Ninth Wonder of the World cleaned house, but ran into an Edge spear. The tag champions double-teamed Chyna and shoved the referee, causing the disqualification.
The Acolytes caught Crash Holly in the APA office. Faarooq had thought Crash learned his lesson from the beating Bradshaw gave him on RAW, but Crash challenged Faarooq to another fight by shaking a beer can and opening it in his face. In the ring, Crash got off to a fast start by breakin on Faarooq's face, but the momentum didn't last long. Crash was hoping to show Faarooq that he wasn't a 14-year old kid, but the old veteran taught young Crash what hardcore was really all about, finishing him with The Dominator on a trash can.
Next up is The Bladewolf vs Chris Jericho vs Hardcore Holly vs Val Venis in a Fatal 4-Way match to determine the #1 Contender for the WWF Intercontinental Championship.
In the arena, Chris Jericho's theme began to play to a pop from the crowd who were on their feet. The pyro went off and Jericho was revealed on the stage, in his usual pose and microphone in hand, before he turned around and fist-pumped, then started making his way down to the ramp, hits the ring and gets inside. He walks about in the ring as his theme dies down and he stands in the center of the ring.
"This match, tonight, is supposedly to see who the number one contender is for the Intercontinental Championship." Jericho began. "Well, Y2J contends that in the eyes of every single Jericho-holic, I am still the atollah of rock and rolla!" The crowd cheered in agreement. "And I-"
Hardcore Holly's theme plays, cutting Jericho off much to his annoyance he looks to the stage and sees Holly walk out and make his way towards the ring. The bell rings and Tony Chimel begins introductions.
"The following Fatal 4-Way match is scheduled for one-fall! Making his way to the ring, from Mobile, Alabama, weighing in at 400 lbs... HARDCORE HOLLY!" Tony Chimel announced, with the crowd not giving Holly much of a reaction given that he interrupted a great match on RAW between the Bladewolf and Chris Benoit this past Monday night.
As Holly hits the ring, his theme is replaced by Val Venis' to boos from the crowd as the man makes his way out to the ring. "Making his way to the ring, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in-"
Chimel is cut off as Jericho and Holly start going at it, causing Venis to rush towards the ring as the referee calls for the bell to begin the match despite the fourth man not coming out yet.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Jericho and Holly hammer away on each other with Holly being pushed back into the corner by Jericho, who then delivers a few kicks to the midsection. Venis slides into the ring and grabs Y2J from behind, pushes him out of the way and starts attacking Holly with some kicks to the midsection, then Jericho pushes him out of the way and hits some boots and kicks himself but Venis gets into an argument with Jericho.
The two look at Holly and then start beating him up together, teaming up if only for the moment until they've taken out Holly. After stomping away at Holly's midsection, Jericho and Venis pull him up and take turns in hitting knifeedge chops to the chest.
OOOOOOOOWWWWHHHHOOOOOOO!
'Ooh, wah-ah-ah-ah! Get up, come on, get down with the sickness!'
Down with the Sickness by Disturbed played to a big pop from the crowd as the Bladewolf walked out, accompanied by Trish Stratus. She gives him a brief kiss on the cheek, and the Demon Wolf sprints down the ramp, slides into the ring... AND HITS A SPEAR ON VAL VENIS!
Bladewolf's theme cuts off as he gets to his feet, ducks underneath a right punch from Jericho who he then delivers an uppercut to, followed by a run into the ropes, rebound and then a big boot which sends Jericho falling out of the ring through the ropes. Bladewolf turns and grabs Venis around the waist and then sends him across the ring with a German Suplex, to which Venis rolls out of the ring to recover from the Spear and German Suplex, leaving Holly alone in the ring with the Bladewolf.
Bladewolf turns his attention to the man who cost him the Intercontinental Championship on RAW, and stalks towards him while the man is still recovering from Jericho and Venis' assault. He stops when he sees a pair of boots in front of him and looks up only to meet the Bladewolf's cold, dark brown eyes. He grips Holly by his hair, and then delivers a hard right hook that sends the man down onto his side.
Bladewolf pulls Holly into a sitting position in the corner, and then delivers a stomp to the chest, then another, then another, then another, and repeatedly begins stomping away at Holly's chest before whirling on the referee when he tried to intervene. The referee quickly backs off in surrender. Bladewolf walks back over to Holly, measures him up and then delivers another big, hard right hand to Holly's forehead. He gets to his feet, pulls Holly up with him before turning him around, grabs him around the waist and sends him flying with a release German Suplex.
Flipping his hair back as he gets to his feet, the Bladewolf walks over and covers Holly! ONE! TWO! THR-! Jericho broke it up in time.
The crowd are now on their feet as they see The Bladewolf vs Chris Jericho for the first time ever.
Getting to his feet as Jericho starts hammering away at him, Bladewolf shoves Jericho into the ropes but Y2J comes back with a dropkick to the chest that sends the Bladewolf down onto his back. Jericho runs for a springboard off the ropes but the Bladewolf rolls out of the way! Jericho clutches his chest in pain as he gets to his feet and turns into a hard clothesline from the Bladewolf.
Val Venis slides into the ring and blindsides Bladewolf, grabbing him in a headlock and starts bringing down clubbing forearms to the back of the one-time Intercontinental Champion. Bladewolf wraps his arms around Venis' midsection, lifts him up and then runs into the corner, driving Venis back-first into the turnbuckles. Straightening up, Bladewolf lands a right punch to the jaw, then a left into the midsection, followed by a right, then a left, right, left, right, left. He unleashes a series of lefts and rights to the midsection, and finishes it with a big-time uppercut that rocks Venis.
The Bladewolf then turns around only to be tackled into Venis by Hardcore Holly, who punches away at the Bladewolf, backs up and then dropkicks the man into Venis, sending the two down to the mat.
Holly turns around into a chop from Jericho, getting 'woos' from the crowd. Jericho does it again, earning the same reaction, and then Irish whips Holly off the ropes but Holly ducks underneath a right hand and Jericho turns into a clothesline from Holly, who hooks the legs! ONE! TWO-! Bladewolf and Venis broke the pin!
Bladewolf, on his knees, punches Venis in the head, then gets to his feet. Jericho blindsides him, sending him against the ropes and Jericho goes on the attack with a fury of right hands to the forehead. However, Bladewolf lifts Jericho up and over, sending him over the top rope and down to the floor. Shaking his head, Bladewolf gets out the ring after him and goes to work.
Back in the ring, it's now Val Venis and Hardcore Holly going at it as Holly pulls Venis out of the corner, lifts him up and slams his groin down onto his knee. Venis yells out in pain before being clotheslined by Holly, who then looks out the ring to see the Bladewolf working on Jericho, throwing him into the barricade. Holly turns his attention back to Venis and walks over to him, pulling him up and sets his head between his legs, lifts him up and hits a powerbomb!
Holly gets down and hooks the leg! ONE! TWO! THR-! But Jericho manages to get in and break it in time!
Jericho had seen an opening during the Bladewolf's assault and took advantage, and now the man in question was laid out on the floor outside the ring.
Focusing his attention on Holly, Jericho hits a right hook to the forehead, followed by a chop to the chest as Holly is backed into the corner. Jericho hits several chops to Holly's chest before Irish whipping him across the ring into the opposite corner. Jericho runs at Holly but is met with a boot to the face. Holly runs at Jericho who takes him down with a drop toe-hold. Jericho gets on top of Holly and starts hammering away at him before Venis kicks him him in the side of the head, grabs him and throws him out of the ring.
Now taking control, Venis pulls Holly up but is met with a punch from his opponent who goes to Irish whip him off the ropes but Venis reverses it. Holly bounds off the ropes, comes back into a boot to the midsection, and then Venis hooks him up and hits a Christmas Suplex, followed by a pin! ONE! TWO! THR-Jericho breaks it up by pulling Venis out of the ring!
Jericho grabs Venis and sends him into the barricade before unleashing a fury of punches then chops. He then turns into a baseball slide kick by Hardcore Holly, sending him into Venis. Getting out of the ring, Holly approaches when he turns and gets a clothesline from the Bladewolf!
Back in the fight, Bladewolf grabs Venis, blocking a right hand from the man and retaliating with a right of his own. He grabs the back of the man's head and... SENDS HIM INTO THE STEEL STEPS HARD!
Flipping his hair out of his face, the Bladewolf pulls Holly up and then Irish whips him... HEADFIRST INTO THE STEEL RING POST!
Making sure Holly was down, Bladewolf turned to focus on Jericho but was met with a leaping clothesline by Y2J, taking the big man down. Jericho pulls Bladewolf up and tosses him back into the ring before climbing the ring apron and starts going to the top turnbuckle. Bladewolf gets to a knee, shaking his head, then he stands up before turning as Jericho leaps off... AND HITS A MISSILE DROPKICK! JERICHO HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THRE-! BLADEWOLF KICKS OUT AT TWO!
Jericho glances towards the ceiling with building frustration before he gets to his feet, pulling Bladewolf along with him. As Y2J starts to pummel Bladewolf into the corner, Hardcore Holly slowly gets back into the ring and then rushes at Jericho, taking him down from behind. Holly and Jericho start slugging it out as Bladewolf sits in the corner, taking a moment to recover from Jericho's assault.
Once he does, he pulls himself out of the corner and eyes Jericho and Holly fighting in the opposite corner and starts reading up a Spear. However, Venis slides into the ring and Bladewolf runs... AND HITS THE SPEAR!
Bladewolf gets to his feet and turns into a right from Holly, who lands another. Holly goes for a third but Bladewolf ducks and Holly turns... INTO A GOOZLE! Bladewolf lifts Holly up... AND PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM!
Jericho clobbers Bladewolf from behind and goes to work on him with stomps to the chest, the legs, and the arms. He then runs, jumps onto the middle rope and... SPRINGBOARDS OFF AND ONTO BLADEWOLF! Jericho briefly clutches his chest in pain before crawling towards Bladewolf... WHO SUDDENLY GRABS HIM AND LOCKS HIM INTO A CRIPPLER CROSSFACE! WILL JERICHO TAP OUT?!
Jericho yells in pain as Bladewolf locks the hold in. Everyone was surprised to see him pull out a Submission move. Was this a message to the Intercontinental Champion, Chris Benoit, by using the Crossface submission move?
Bladewolf pulls back on the hold and Jericho, unable to handle the pain any longer... TAPS OUT! THE BLADEWOLF WINS!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Down with the Sickness plays as Bladewolf maintains the hold for a few more seconds then finally releases. "Here is your winner... THE BLADEWOLF!" Tony Chimel announced.
Bladewolf gets to his feet, flipping his hair back. He adjusts his elbow pads before looking around then does the title gesture around his waist, showing that he was coming for the Intercontinental Championship. He will face the Champion next week on RAW.
Bladewolf takes his leave and makes his way to the back.
That Crossface Submission will be called the Deathbite Crossface when Bladewolf does it. I'm going to start giving him Submission moves to do, since it's time that he starts winning that way. There will be another Submission move, but that won't debut for a bit.
