WWE SmackDown!: Thursday, Week 2, March 2004

WWE SmackDown!Thursday, Week 2, March 2004

The opening video plays featuring the WWE Superstars that will be on the show tonight as Michael Cole and Tazz welcome the television audience to tonight's presentation of WWE SmackDown!

RATING: 91 (A)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

The theme music of former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar hits the speakers as the freak of nature hits the ring looking angry. Lesnar gets in the ring and grabs a mic.

Brock Lesnar: I'm sick and tired of this. First, Goldberg costs me my WWE Championship at No Way Out, and then he blindsides me and puts me through a table, and if I do anything about it before WrestleMania then I don't get to wrestle? This is absolutely ridiculous and Austin, just know that at WrestleMania, if you even accidentally get in my way, I will drop you like the old man that you are. I'm gonna be the one opening up a can of whoop-ass, because I'm the best wrestler this business has ever seen and you're nothing but a dumbass redneck with a beer belly. And that's the bottom line, because Brock Lesnar said so!

RATING: 78 (B).
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

http://i.imgur.com/vkvWn4P.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/QKb9mhD.jpg
Rey Mysterio and the APA vs. Chavo Guerrero and the Basham Brothers

Before the match, Rey announced that his partners for the night would be the ass-kicking, beer drinking team of Bradshaw and Ron Simmons. The Acolyte Protection Agency, along with the Cruiserweight Champion, proved to be too much for the opposing side. Mysterio hit the 6-1-9 to Doug Basham who turned around into the Clothesline From Hell as Bradshaw made the cover for the victory!

RATING: 55 (C-)
Notes: 7:36. Rey switched to an Underdog gimmick, it debuted with an 82 rating. Bradshaw's really becoming an overall better worker in the ring.
____________________________________________

Backstage, Josh Matthews is with Eddie Guerrero, whom he asks about the upcoming Triple Threat at WrestleMania.

Eddie Guerrero: Everybody knows that Eddie Guerrero respects both Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle, but at WrestleMania, holmes...it won't be about respect. This has been my dream, mi sueño, for over 12 years, ese. And I'm gonna stop at nothing to make that WWE Championship mine.

RATING: 83 (B+)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

vs.
Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Super Crazy

Super Crazy's second SmackDown matchup went much like the first, as the Mexican cruiserweight defeated Scotty 2 Hotty following a nice Crazysault.

RATING: 59 ©
Notes: 6:24.
____________________________________________

Backstage, the crowd pops as Torrie Wilson is walking backstage. Someone calls her name, and it turns out to be Billy Kidman walking behind her. She turns and he talks.

Billy Kidman: Hey Torrie, how's everything been?

Torrie Wilson: Great, Billy, how've you been?

Billy Kidman: Not so bad myself, but hey, listen. I've been thinking. This past year or so, I haven't been doing so well on SmackDown and I'm trying to get that spark back. When you were my manager, I was on top of the world as the Cruiserweight Champion, and I really want to get back to that level. I think that you gave me the spark to compete and become as great as I was. So I know this is probably coming off a little weird to you, but basically all I'm asking is for you to accompany me to the ring for my match against Nunzio tonight.

Torrie looks at him and stutters a little bit, before agreeing.

Torrie Wilson: You know what, sure. I was on my way to Paul Heyman's office to tell him that I'm not being used enough, so I'd love to go with you, Billy.

We head to a commercial break.

RATING: 81 (B)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

vs.
Billy Gunn vs. The Big Show

Billy Gunn faced a tall task in this one. He gave a ton of effort, and even though he had control late in the matchup, the Big Show was the victor after a Chokeslam that caught Gunn off guard. A-Train had been distracting the referee, and Gunn turned directly into the big man's slam.

RATING: 74 (B-)
Notes: 8:33.
____________________________________________

The Big Show stands in the ring menacingly, receiving his United States Championship. He holds it up high above his head, but is interrupted by the arrival of John Cena! "Basic Thuganomics" hits and the Franchise makes his way out to the ring with a microphone.

John Cena: Yo, Big Show. Congrats my man, you proved yourself out there. You did the unthinkable and beat a guy half ya size with help from another lame ass clown. Nah, I'm just playin', the only thing you proved in this match is that you don't deserve that US title, and that John Cena is gonna be the one to take it from you at WrestleMan--

Enraged, Big Show knocks Cena with a fist to the jaw! The microphone goes flying and the Big Show begins to viciously assault the challenger! He hits him with a splash in the corner and hits him to the ground. The champion gets on top of Cena and wraps his massive hands around the challenger's throat, constricting his air flow!

Officials from the back hit the ring and Big Show tosses a couple of them right out the other side of it. He continues to assault Cena in between the waves of officials until finally enough of them gang up on him and back him into a corner. By this time, Cena has dragged himself up to his feet and he runs at the group of officials to get him some of the Big Show! Cena is pulled away as both men stare intensely down at one another and shout insults.

RATING: 86 (B+)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

Another hype video airs, showing Monday Night RAW's contract signing debacle between Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, and Steve Austin!

RATING: 94 (A)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

vs.
Billy Kidman w/Torrie Wilson vs. Nunzio

Billy Kidman's new manager, Torrie Wilson, seemed to give him a confidence boost. Kidman looked impressive and finished Nunzio off with the Shooting Star Press.

RATING: 58 (C-)
Notes: 6:13.
____________________________________________

A comprehensive video of the history of Kane and The Undertaker airs, creating hype for the return of the Phenom at WrestleMania!

RATING: 82 (B)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

Before the two main events of the night, Kurt Angle hits the ring to commentate! The crowd gives him a mixed reaction as he sits down beside Michael Cole and Tazz.

RATING: 73 (B-)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

vs.
Eddie Guerrero vs. Charlie Haas

In the first matchup between the World's Greatest Tag Team members and two of the wrestlers in the WrestleMania main event, Latino Heat went one-on-one with Charlie Haas. This was a well-wrestled match and Angle was quite partisan toward Guerrero. He claimed to have no affiliation with the former Team Angle and that his respect for Guerrero and Benoit trumps his connection to the other two.

Angle's words proved to be true in this match. In a fairly straightforward match, Eddie came out victorious after a Frog Splash.

RATING: 82 (B)
Notes: 7:44. Haas's Performance skills are getting better.
____________________________________________

Backstage, Hardcore Holly enters the locker room of Billy Gunn.

Hardcore Holly: Hey, listen, I know you're sick and tired of A-Train gettin' in your way, and I know he can be a pain in the ass so I just want you to know that I respect you and I've got your back if you need it.

Gunn shows his appreciation with a handshake and the two seem to have formed an alliance.

RATING: 65 ©
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

vs.
Chris Benoit vs. Shelton Benjamin

The speculation as to whether or not Angle would soften up the champion in some way intensified, but the Olympic Hero stayed true to his word. Kurt simply stayed at ringside and scouted his opponent, who was able to fend off Shelton's fervent effort after reversing a T-Bone Suplex into the Crippler Crossface!

RATING: 84 (B+)
Notes: 10:16. Shelton looked good off the top rope in this match, he's getting better at Flying.
____________________________________________

Following the match, Benoit stares down at Angle and holds up his WWE Championship. Angle just smiles, and Shelton Benjamin attacks the champion from behind, knocking the belt out of the ring! Charlie Haas hits the ring to put the boots to Benoit, and Angle grabs the belt. He slides into the ring and takes both members of the World's Greatest Tag Team out with the title belt!

The final scene of the night shows Kurt looking at Benoit, who has pulled himself up by the ropes, handing him back his belt as if to say "This will be mine soon"....

RATING: 67 (C+)
Notes: I'm not sure if fans left after Benoit won, but this one didn't get the expected crowd reaction.
____________________________________________

OVERALL SHOW RATING: 87 (B+)

WWE RAWMonday, Week 3, March 2004

The opening video plays featuring the Superstars that will be on the show tonight as Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler welcome the television audience to tonight's presentation of Monday Night RAW!

RATING: 85 (B+)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

http://i.imgur.com/UwmRujZ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/CDVtSdu.jpg vs.
The Hurricane and Rosey vs. Evolution

Even though they won last week, the superheroes were no match for the “future” portion of Evolution. Orton and Batista sent a message to Mick Foley as Batista planted Rosey with the Batista Bomb.

RATING: 67 (C+)
Notes: 7:32. Rosey dragged this match down. Batista's gonna be a pretty good brawler.
____________________________________________

Backstage, Vitamin C is frantically scouring the backstage area for the belts that the Dudley Boyz stole from them. Christian spots Spike Dudley walking backstage and the two run up to him.

Christian: Spike, Spike... where's Bubba Ray and D-Von? They took our belts, Spike, you've gotta help us.

Chris Jericho: Spike, it's me, your best friend in the entire world, “Y2J” Chris Jericho! Help me out buddy!

Spike Dudley: I don't have any idea where my brothers are guys. Even if I did, why would I tell you two?

Chris Jericho: Listen here, you inbred jackass, tell me where your piece of trash brothers are before the tag team champions take your head and shove it up your own ass!

Christian: Where are they, Spike?

Christian slaps Spike across the face, but he still refuses to answer. Suddenly, Christian attacks Spike Dudley by sending him face first into the wall! Jericho puts the boots to him, but Christian continues to push it to the next level. After an Unprettier on the floor, Spike is busted open and Christian stands over him. Jericho looks a bit apprehensive, thinking that Christian went a bit too far, but the search for the titles continues.

RATING: 68 (C+)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

vs.
Lita vs. Miss Jackie

Miss Jackie was defeated with a nice Moonsault as Lita ran circles around her in the ring.

RATING: 48 (D+)
Notes: 6:10. This match was a disaster with the crowd hating Jackie, Lita not looking as sharp as usual, and the awkward chemistry between the two.
____________________________________________

A video airs, and it opens up with cameras flashing. It goes over to a man with long hair, sunglasses and a long fur coat. He's with a woman of Latin descent, wearing a brown top with a denim skirt and nearly knee-level leather boots. The two are surrounded by paparazzi and strike different poses for the flashing cameras. They order the paparazzi away.

Man: Out here in Hollywood, cameras love us. A spotlight hits us at all times, and that's because these people know the type of celebrity that they want to see. One with flash, one with charisma, and the star quality to sell out arenas when their name's up in lights.

Woman: Some things just fit perfectly. Like Johnny Nitro, Melina, and the WWE. We are the hottest team on the scene, and nobody is going to be able to stop our rise to the top!

Nitro and Melina pose for the cameras as we head back to ringside.

RATING: 34 (E+)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

Back at ringside, Mark Henry's theme hits as he comes to the ring with his manager, Theodore Long, for his match. Henry stands menacingly in the ring as Long grabs a microphone.

Theodore Long: In this business, certain people make it to the top by makin' the right friends. And you, Booka T, you are one of these people. Since WCW, you've been a sellout with your catchphrase and little dance moves. You from Harlem, playa, you from the streets, and I know that. You gone soft since you started in with these white people, but lucky for you them white people put you right at the top! Mark Henry don't need no catchphrase, he don't need no dance moves. We just gonna keep poundin' on the door til the man lets us in!

Long drops the mic and Booker hits the ring, ready for the match to start.

RATING: 79 (B)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

vs.
Booker T vs. Mark Henry

These two men, hyped up by Long's pre-match words, got into a brawl. Henry would control a good portion of the match, with Booker fighting back and having the crowd on his side. The match ended when Scott Steiner hit the ring and assaulted Booker T as he was setting up for the Scissors Kick.

Steiner and Booker brawled, with Steiner getting the upper hand by tossing Booker into the barricade on the outside!

RATING: 65 ©
Notes: 7:37. The selling was pretty bad, but they had pretty good chemistry.
____________________________________________

A video recaps the Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar contract signing, along with the stipulation that Steve Austin will be the guest referee for WrestleMania!

RATING: 86 (B+)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

vs.
Goldberg vs. Rene Dupree

The 20-year old Frenchman didn't really stand a chance here. He gave it his best shot, lasting over ten minutes due to his continued regrouping outside of the ring, but the fired up Goldberg took it to him early and often, eventually finishing him off with a Jackhammer.

RATING: 69 (C+)
Notes: 10:22. There wasn't much psychology going on here.
____________________________________________

Backstage, Shawn Michaels is walking, seemingly towards the ring. Out of nowhere, he's assaulted by Randy Orton and Batista! Michaels, jumped from behind, stands no chance against the two vicious superstars. They toss him into every object they can find and officials break them apart. Michaels is on the ground unconscious as Orton and Batista flee.

RATING: 91 (A)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

Elsewhere, Vitamin C continues their pursuit of their championship belts. Jericho and Christian decide to knock on the door of Trish Stratus, who answers in a bit of an irritated manner.

Chris Jericho: Hey Trish um, I'm not sure if you saw what happened last week, but the Dudleyz stole our belts and we've gotta get them back from those dirty rotten thieves.

Christian: Yeah Trish if you could help us out it would be totally awesome.

Trish Stratus: So wait, you want me to go find the Dudleyz by myself and get your titles back that you let them steal in the first place? After the amount of times they've put me through tables and put my life in danger in the past?

Christian: Well yeah, I mean we are the World Tag Team Champions, it should be your honor to help us out since you have, y'know, nothing.

Trish Stratus: I can't do that, sorry Chris.

Trish closes the door and Jericho and Christian seek another way to get their titles back.

RATING: 73 (B-)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

vs.
Lance Storm vs. Kane

Lance Storm held his own for a bit in this matchup, but following a Chokeslam and a Tombstone Piledriver, Kane was victorious.

RATING: 76 (B-).
Notes: 6:51.
____________________________________________

After the match, Kane picks up Storm for another Tombstone, but the lights go out! The crowd roars wildly as thunder rumbles over the PA system. All of a sudden, a familiar deep, booming voice is heard.

The Undertaker: It's been told that demons...can only be put to rest...after extraordinary... torture...and pain. In thirteen days, at WrestleMania...you will feel so much agony...and suffering...that the demon known as Kane...will rest...in....peeeeeace!

Kane walks up the ramp in a deranged manner, as if to shake the voices out of his head, as we head to our final commercial break!

RATING: 78 (B)
Notes: None.
____________________________________________

vs.
Rob Van Dam vs. Ric Flair w/Triple H

This was not a matchup that Ric Flair fared well in. The quick strikes of RVD were very effective against the aging technician. Flair was able to gain control with an eye rake and other cheap tactics here and there, but Van Dam looked incredibly focused as he took it to the Nature Boy. Despite every attempt by Triple H to thwart his challenger at WrestleMania, Rob Van Dam eventually knocked him off the apron and landed a Five Star Frog Splash for the win!

RATING: 81 (B)
Notes: 9:52. Flair looked pretty tired towards the end.
____________________________________________

We head backstage as referees and officials are frantically running down the hallway. They reach and area where Randy Orton and Batista are pounding on Mick Foley, whose body is already limp and bleeding. Batista scares off the officials and tosses some down the hallway. Eventually, Batista tosses Foley's body over his shoulder and Orton leads them out to the ring, where Van Dam and the rest of Evolution have left.

They roll Foley in the ring and add a few more punches to his carcass, and Orton grabs a microphone.

Randy Orton: Foley, can you hear me?! CAN YOU HEAR ME?

Orton has Batista lift Foley up to one shaky knee as Orton slaps him, before spitting in his face.

Randy Orton: You are NOTHING, Mick! Your career has been over for years, and at WrestleMania XX, Batista and “The Legend Killer” make your permanent retirement official! That's right, we accept your challenge, Mick... but how do you ever think you'll survive a Handicap match against the future of the WWE? Unless of course you find a tag team partner in the next 13 days...but no one likes you Mick. No one has any faith in you, everyone knows that you're done. So--

IF YA SMEEEELLLLL!

http://i.imgur.com/0KIFJtc.jpg

Jim Ross: Bah gawd it's The Rock!

Jerry Lawler: What?! Is he-- Is he here?!

The crowd goes ballistic as Batista and Orton's jaws drop! Out flying from the back down the ramp is The Rock, who gets in the ring and lands a series of punches on Batista, and then Orton! He clotheslines the two of them out of the ring and hypes the crowd up with his exaggerated motions as he checks on the fallen Foley! The Rock is Mick Foley's partner at WrestleMania!

RATING: 92 (A)
Notes: Foley sold the injuries well.

There's a lot of great dynasties going on the forums right now, so to be considered in the top is an honor <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> As for Benoit, I'm all about the realism so I figured he should get the belt because in 2004 no one knew he was a murderer. And at that time he did deserve some sort of run with a world title. If anyone else wants to predict, the show should be up tomorrow!

WWE SmackDown!: Thursday, Week 3, March 2004 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36517" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/WtzzVL1.jpg WWE SmackDown!Thursday, Week 3, March 2004 The opening video plays featuring the WWE Superstars that will be on the show tonight as Michael Cole and Tazz welcome the television audience to tonight's presentation of WWE SmackDown! Michael Cole: Hello everybody and welcome to WWE SmackDown, I'm Michael Cole and this is my broadcast partner Tazz, and what a show we've got for you tonight! Tazz: You got that right Cole, I'm lookin' forward to seein' how Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle, and Chris Benoit work as a team against the FBI tonight! Michael Cole: Not only that, but we've got a huge main event with John Cena and Billy Gunn taking on The Big Show and A-Train! Tazz: These four guys got some bad blood, and I wanna see if Cena and Billy Gunn can outlast the pure power and size of the Big Show and A-Train. RATING: 90 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ The theme music of SmackDown's General Manager Paul Heyman hits as he walks out the ring along with the "Man Beast" Rhyno. Cole and Tazz question why Rhyno is with Heyman, and Tazz comments on how serious the boss looks. The pair gets in the ring as Heyman receives a microphone. Paul Heyman: Over the course of the past few weeks, we've seen a lot of things happen on SmackDown that have been against my will. The choices of the General Manager of SmackDown are law on this show, but that has not been the case recently. Three weeks ago, at No Way Out, Bill Goldberg of RAW interfered in my WWE Championship match and cost Brock Lesnar his title. The crowd roars as Heyman makes a discontented face while pausing for them to quiet down. Paul Heyman: A RAW superstar interfered in the marquee matchup of the final SmackDown pay-per-view before WrestleMania...and directly affected the main event at the grandest...stage...of them all. Chaos has reigned on my show over the past few weeks, even up until last week, when John Cena provoked the Big Show into an attack and brawl in the middle of my ring. The crowd boos at Heyman's misrepresentation of the situation. Paul Heyman: The bottom line is, I am taking...back...control of my show. Other than the two RAW superstars who will appear here tonight on SmackDown thanks to an agreement I made with the real General Manager of RAW, Eric Bischoff...there will be hell to pay for every RAW superstar who sets foot in my arena. In addition to this, I, Paul Heyman, am going to begin taking control of my show by any means necessary. I am going to be cutting dead weight and making sure that any poor behavior is not tolerated. This is why, as a precaution to his potential interference in my tag team main event tonight, I am banning Hardcore Holly from the arena with the consequence that he will be fired if he re-enters the building! The crowd boos as Heyman turns to Rhyno. Paul Heyman: And this is also why, Rhyno, I am officially firing you from SmackDown! The crowd cheers, and Rhyno can't believe it! He begs for his job, but Heyman isn't having it. Paul Heyman: For weeks, I have put you in high profile matches and put you against people who I felt deserved to be punished. And every single time, you failed me. So that's it for you on my show. Good day sir. Heyman's music hits as he walks out, leaving a stunned Rhyno in the ring. Tazz and Cole react shocked to the dismissal of the "Man Beast!" RATING: 78 (B). Notes: None. ____________________________________________ <img alt="Js4GN9H.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Js4GN9H.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs. <img alt="1nFL1YA.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1nFL1YA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Billy Kidman w/Torrie Wilson vs. Jamie Noble w/Nidia This match was a decent, albeit awkward showing of cruiserweight action, but the resurgent Billy Kidman took the victory after a Shooting Star Press. RATING: 55 (C-) Notes: 6:10. The chemistry was poor between these guys. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Hardcore Holly is walking with his bags, looking incredibly disappointed. Surprisingly, he doesn't head to Paul Heyman's office to argue, instead he simply gets into his car and heads out for the night. RATING: 72 (B-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ <img alt="h61E6Fe.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/h61E6Fe.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Shlpnkc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Shlpnkc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs. <img alt="PifrCch.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PifrCch.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="XR8MD15.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/XR8MD15.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Brian Kendrick and Paul London vs. Kyo Dai Akio and Sakoda looked lost in this match, and the hot tag team of Kendrick and London continued its roll. They ran circles around their opponents and a Sliced Bread #2 from Kendrick to Sakoda secured the victory. RATING: 56 (C-) Notes: 6:27. ____________________________________________ After coming the ring following a commercial break, Brock Lesnar is dressed to wrestle and has a microphone. Brock Lesnar: Ever since I got my title stolen from me at No Way Out, people have been coming up to me and asking me about Goldberg and about RAW and what I'm gonna do to get back at him. Well because I have respect for the WWE and Paul Heyman, I'm gonna wait until WrestleMania to fight Goldberg. But first, right here tonight, I invited any RAW guy to come in here and fight me. And I'm gonna show how dominant I am. So get your ass out here, whoever you are! Brock throws the mic down. STAND BACK! There's a HURRICANE comin' through! RAW's caped crusader The Hurricane makes his way to the ring, playing to the crowd. He slaps fans's hands as he comes down the aisle -- but he's attacked by Lesnar before he gets into the ring! Lesnar pounds on him on the ramp with rights to his face. The Hurricane covers up, so Lesnar picks him up and bodyslams him on the ramp! As the Hurricane tries to crawl away to the back, Lesnar stalks him and shouts at him while slowly following. He reaches the top of the ramp and Brock puts the boots to him. Lesnar lifts him up, lands a huge F-5 on the top of the ramp, stands up, and simply smiles at the crowd as his music plays. The camera moves back over to the commentators, who hype up our next matchup. Tazz: That is a scary man, Cole, and if I was Goldberg, I wouldn't wanna step in the ring with this dude. Michael Cole: I completely agree with you, Tazz, but next up we've got a match involving three men who will main event WrestleMania! Tazz: The question's gonna be: can Benoit, Eddie, and Angle coexist with the WWE Title loomin' over 'em? They better not take the FBI lightly, 'cuz Palumbo and Johnny "The Bull" can hit hard, and Nunzio's sharp as a tack. The bell rings, and we're ready for six-man tag action! RATING: 73 (B-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ <img alt="0eTjKMM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/0eTjKMM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="vfVCug4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/vfVCug4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5mCsTSL.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5mCsTSL.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs. <img alt="iNENmgL.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/iNENmgL.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="O7yFF07.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/O7yFF07.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="d4ihmlc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/d4ihmlc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, and Eddie Guerrero vs. The Full Blooded Italians This match was interesting, if only to see the dynamic between the three competitors in the WrestleMania XX main event. They weren't caught off guard by the FBI, and controlled throughout. The only bit of miscommunication they had was when Guerrero slapped Angle's back as he hit off the ropes, Angle hit a German suplex to Nunzio and went for the pin. The referee informed him he'd been tagged out, and Guerrero flew off the top rope with the Frog Splash and covered for his team's win! RATING: 78 (B) Notes: 10:30. Benoit looked especially good in this one. ____________________________________________ After a commercial break, the RAW Rebound airs, showing The Rock rescuing Mick Foley from Evolution's assault this past week on the red brand! RATING: 85 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ As we pan back to the ring, fire explodes from the turnbuckles as the crowd is startled. The second RAW superstar to be here tonight, Kane, drags a coffin down the ramp with one arm and holds a burlap sack in the other. He leaves the coffin at ringside and gets a microphone in the ring. Kane: They say ten days...ten days until my brother returns from the dead...they tell me...that the man I buried alive...is coming back...for his revenge. I will show you all why the man you call The Undertaker...is never coming back! Kane unties the sack and dumps its contents on the ground. It's a gold object -- the Undertaker's urn! Other objects included a cannister of gasoline and a lighter. Kane picks up the urn and continues. Kane: What I hold...in my hand...is the life force of my brother, The Undertaker. Without it, his life force would be melted into nothingness. The Undertaker shall burn at my hands. Kane walks outside the ring, opens up the casket, and places the urn inside of it. He douses the casket in the gasoline, and the fans watch in horror as he lights the casket on fire! Kane maniacally cackles as the flames climb higher as the gasoline continues to burn. His music hits as Kane psychotically stares into the flames. RATING: 71 (B-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ <img alt="bByaWKc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bByaWKc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="gWqrj5i.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/gWqrj5i.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs. <img alt="YtDndEx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/YtDndEx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Rey Mysterio © vs. Super Crazy Despite riding a wave of momentum from his big victories in the WWE thus far, Super Crazy was not able to outlast the Cruiserweight Champion. In a nicely contested matchup, a 6-1-9 and the West Coast Pop did the trick for Mysterio. RATING: 64 © Notes: 5:38. ____________________________________________ After the match, Rey Mysterio celebrates in the ring with his belt! All of a sudden, Chavo Guerrero hits him from behind, knocking him into the corner. Chavo continues to attack Rey, who eventually begins to fight back with hard kicks and punches of his own! Mysterio has Chavo reeling, and dropkicks him into position for the 6-1-9! He bounces off the ropes and swings his legs around, but Chavo ducks it and rolls out of the ring! He walks to the back throwing a tantrum to regroup from this failed assault. RATING: 70 (C+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ <img alt="fxbrdM2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/fxbrdM2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="jCQytBR.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jCQytBR.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs. <img alt="gBgl89u.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/gBgl89u.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1cBihZ1.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1cBihZ1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> The APA vs. The World's Greatest Tag Team #1 Contender's Match In this match to decide who would face the Bashams at WrestleMania, both teams gave it their all. Haas and Benjamin looked to keep the match on the ground, while the bruising APA tried to pound the other team into the ground. This hotly contested matchup was decided when the WWE Tag Team Champions hit the ring. With one Basham distracting the referee, the other one blasted Ron Simmons with the title belt and Charlie Haas made the cover for the win! RATING: 79 (B) Notes: 7:53. Haas's Flying skills are getting better, he landed a nice elbow drop from the top rope. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, and Eddie Guerrero are being interviewed by Josh Matthews, who asks them about their win. Chris Benoit: I've told you a few times now that I respect the hell out of Eddie and Kurt, but it means nothing going into WrestleMania, when I'm going to make someone tap out and retain my title! Kurt Angle: You wanna talk about tapping people out, Chris? I am the best submission specialist in the WWE, I'm the only Olympic gold medalist in WWE history. There's nobody in this business who knows more submission holds and counters than I do, bucko! Eddie Guerrero: Eh, listen amigos, why do you worry about these little arguments? We were a team tonight, ese, and you both know that the man who's gonna be walking out of WrestleMania with the title is "Latino Heat!" I mean, I am the one who put the other team away, mang. Benoit and Angle turn and look at Eddie. Eddie Guerrero: Hey, what do you want me to say? I'm the only man on this team with a pinfall, and that means I'm the better wrestler, holmes. Kurt Angle: If you hadn't cheaply tagged yourself in, you wouldn't have had a chance to get that pin because it would've been mine! Have some integrity, Eddie, we all know who the best wrestler on this team is. Chris Benoit: Yeah, he's right here. I'm the only one with the proof to back up my words. Benoit holds up the WWE Championship as the other two calm down, and the interview is over. RATING: 95 (A*) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ As we head back to ringside, Michael Cole and Tazz talk about what Paul Heyman annouced for WrestleMania: A Triple Threat tag team match between the World's Greatest Tag Team, the APA, and the Basham Brothers! The commentators talk about this blockbuster announcement, and that it must be a result of the Bashams' interference in the #1 contender's match earlier tonight. RATING: 57 (C-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ <img alt="W5aGUFY.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/W5aGUFY.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="h4vJCPC.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/h4vJCPC.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs. <img alt="YCsXSU9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/YCsXSU9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="qnXYO9Q.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/qnXYO9Q.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> John Cena and Billy Gunn vs. The Big Show and A-Train The main event tag team matchup featured four of the biggest stars on SmackDown, combining two recent rivalries. Gunn and Cena, with the fans on their side, looked to pick up an unlikely victory over the bigger men. While Big Show and A-Train used their power to keep Billy Gunn away from the corner, Cena began to stir like a teapot on the outside. Eventually, Gunn was able to dropkick A-Train into the corner and dive across the ring to tag Cena! Cena came in like a house of fire, landing blows to the face of the newly tagged Big Show, and he unloaded on his rival. In the midst of his streak, Paul Heyman hit the ring! He was yelled at by Cena, who wanted him away from ringside. Cena turned around into a huge right hand from Show which almost knocked him out cold. The Big Show picked his challenger up for a Showstopper and it was academic from there, a 1, 2, 3 victory for Big Show and A-Train. RATING: 78 (B) Notes: 10:16. ____________________________________________ Continuing to assert his power on SmackDown, GM Paul Heyman gets in the ring and orders the Big Show to continue his beatdown. He picks up Cena and hits another Showstopper as Heyman shouts that he does not want any more provocations or "hoodlum activities" on his show. The final shot shows the United States Champion holding his belt high above the challenger's fallen body. RATING: 82 (B). Notes: None. ____________________________________________ OVERALL SHOW RATING: 85 (B+) Notes: This show increased our popularity in 18 regions.
