WWF SmackDown! Report -
February 17, 2000
From Fresno, California
- WWF SmackDown! started off with video from outside of DX arriving to the arena in a custom DX Express bus. DX, Triple H, Stephanie and all made their way to the ring to kick off the show. First, the New Age Outlaws talked about their match with the Dudley's at No Way Out, saying that they have been putting people through tables before the Dudley's even came to the WWF. X-Pac got the mic and talked about his no holds barred match with Kane at the pay per view, pretty much looking upset with
Triple H for making that match. The WWF Champion, Triple H then got the mic and talked about how he will enter the Hell in a Cell cage at No Way Out, and destroy Cactus Jack, then head to WrestleMania. HHH then referred to X-Pac's problem, telling him that he is sorry about what happened at Raw, and on SmackDown, he will get rid of X-Pac's problem, and fight Kane later on! X-Pac wasn't impressed, and requested that HHH should put the title up against the big red machine. X-Pac then was impressed with that decision so he decided to get rid of Triple H's problem, Cactus Jack, saying he will destroy Cactus later on SmackDown! HHH then decided to make that match a hardcore falls count anywhere match, which X-Pac accepted. After their deal was settled, Triple H then scheduled some matches for this week's SmackDown. The Outlaws will face the unlikely team of the Rock and the Big Show!
Backstage, the Holly's confronted Mark Henry and Mae Young. Things escalate after Hardcore Holly's "trailer park trash" comment toward Mea and the Holly's beat down Henry and shove Mea!- Paul Bearer accompanied Kane to the ring as Kane got ready to battle Triple H for the WWF Championship. During the contest, Kane was about to win the title, until the Outlaws and X-Pac ran down to attack Kane. DX then went for Paul Bearer beating him down to the ground. DX then took Paul Bearer to the DX Express bus and shoved him in along with Kane who seconds later came searching for Paul and DX. The bus then left the arena with both of them inside!
- Kurt Angle came to the ring and did his usual mic intro talking about Jericho and No Way Out. Chyna then makes her to the ring. During the match, Angle used his European Title to hit Chyna with causing a DQ. Angle seemingly didn't care, so he continued to beat down on Chyna until Chris Jericho came down to the save. In the back, Mark Henry and Mae Young went to see the Acolyte Protection Agency. Henry said he has some business to take care of in the ring and he wants Mea to have protection while this match against the Hollys.
- Backstage, Mea was hanging around with the Acolytes playing poker involving money! Tazz fought Gangrel next in a quick match resulting in Gangrel getting choked out with the Tazz Mission allowing Tazz the victory. In the back, Lillian interviewed Cactus Jack. Cactus says he can't guarantee victory at No Way Out against Triple H, but he does guarantee he will fly from the top of the Hell in the Cell again, only this time instead of going through a table, he will go through Triple H's body.
- Backstage, Mea Young continued to play poker with the Acolytes. In the arena, Cactus Jack fought X-Pac in a hardcore falls count anywhere match! During the match, the DX Express arrived back to the arena. X-Pac lead Cactus to the outside area where DX attacks. DX then proceeded to throw Cactus Jack in the bus. Again, the bus leaves from the arena.
- It was time to "bust a move" on SmackDown, as Too Cool made an entrance and fought Perry Saturn & Dean Malenko. During the contest, Eddie Guerrero came down and nailed Scotty Too Hotty with a lead pipe allowing Malenko to get the pin. The Radicals continued to beat down Too Cool until a hurt Rikishi comes out for the save. Rikishi tries to help, but was beaten down by the Radicals with Eddie's lead pipe. All three members of Too Cool were completely destroyed. The EMTs came out and take care of Rikishi, who's leg had been beaten' up badly.
- After the break, footage was shown backstage of Rakishi receiving more medical attention. Eddie Guerrero and the Radicals came back to the ring. The announcer said that Eddie has told him to declare him the winner via forfeit because Rakishi has been taken to a local medical hospital. Backstage, Mea asked Bradshaw and Faarooq for a cigar, as they continued to play poker throughout the evening. The Rock did another famous interview, basically talked about the Big Show, WrestleMania 2000, and DX. The Rock said that he does not need the Big Show as his partner and does not want him as his partner, so his partner will be the people!
- Again, the DX Express bus arrives back to the arena. Backstage, Mea asked the Acolytes for another beer! In the ring, Edge and Christian fought the Bossman and Prince Albert! After the win by Christian & Edge, the Bossman and Albert took apart their opponents until security came down to break things up. Backstage, the Acolytes seemed upset with Mea Young for drinking all their beer, and taking all of their money!
- Mark Henry fought The Hollys in a no DQ two-on-one match. Mae Young decided to give the money she won back to the Acolytes in exchange for their services. Mae Young lead the Acolytes down to the ring and they demolished the Hollys allowing Henry to pick up the win. In the back, the Rock was seen coming to the ring.
- The New Age Outlaws fought The Rock, without the Big Show by his side meaning the Rock fought the entire match by himself. Rock eventually landed the Rock Bottom on Gunn. Just before the three count, Big Show's music played and the Rock got up to chase down the Big Show to get a piece. However, once again DX came out and beat the people's champion down. They took the Rock out back and threw him into the DX bus. This time DX got into the bus and took off. The Big Show waved goodbye. However, once the bus left, Rock had somehow escaped the bus and was waiting for Big Show with a two-by-four as SmackDown! ended.
