Federation Smackdown! results 01/08
Gr8-Scott
The shot spins around the arena as Smackdown!'s music hits, showing
someone's "You'd better not book me against Goldust!" sign. It quickly stops
at the announce table where, as is the norm these days, Gr8-Scott and Jim
Ross are sitting.
Gr8-Scott: "We've got to rush through these early proceedings today! Four
matches!"
JR: "Wow let's get on with the action!"
Womens title match
Christian © vs Rey Mysterio Jr
Less than Jobber's music hits and Christian comes out onto the stage. He
holds his arms out to the sides, looking down towards the ring with a broad
smile on his face. He polishes his Womens title with the outside of his
fingers, before rolling in and handing it to the referee. Xtreme Inc's
hideous music hits, and Rey Mysterio runs out onto the ramp, turning in
quick circles and pointing down to the ring. He sprints down, leaping onto
the apron and over the top rope, before meeting Christian face to face in
the ring.
Gr8-Scott: "Now, even though Rey is relatively new here, he's made quite an
impact."
JR: "Ah but does his style allow him to move speedily up the ranks?"
Gr8-Scott: "We'll have to see about that."
Christian extends his hand for Rey to shake, which Rey accepts. Christian
quickly throws his knee out, hitting Rey in the solar plexus, and bending
him over. Christian quickly grabs him and takes him over and down with a
Swinging Neckbreaker! Christian goes for the swift cover...1...2.... Rey
kicks out!
JR: "Close count already!"
The Womens champion pulls Rey to his feet and sends him off the ropes, but
Rey slides under his legs on the return. Christian turns around and walks
straight into a dropkick, which staggers him but doesn't send him down. Rey
runs at Christian and does a handstand, before leaping up onto his
shoulders! He rolls down Christian's back and goes for the quick
rollup...1...2.... Christian kicks out! They both get to their feet again,
and Christian charges at Rey, only to be taken down with a Japanese Armdrag!
JR: "Rey using a lot of his quickness in this battle, to gain the advantage
over Christian."
Gr8-Scott: "Wow! Next you'll be telling me that Rhyno uses his power to gain
the advantage in his matches!"
Christian makes his way to the ropes, forcing Rey to release the hold. They
get to their feet and Christian grabs Rey's arm, before turning it over and
holding Mysterio in an arm wringer. Mysterio bends over, trying to release
the pain, but has to roll over onto the mat, before flipping himself back
onto his feet via his shoulders! Christian charges at him as he stands up,
before slamming him back down to the canvas with a hard clothesline!
JR: "Christian taking no prisoners here in this Women's title match!"
Christian pulls Rey to his knees and drags him over to the ropes, before
laying him, beck-first over the bottom rope. Christian charges against the
opposite ropes, before bounding back and leaping at Rey, who moves just in
time! Christian crotches himself on the bottom rope, and, as he slowly
staggers to his feet Rey takes him down with a Spinning heel kick!
Gr8-Scott: "Nice move by Rey! He's got Christian on the defensive now!"
Christian slowly gets to his feet and Rey grabs him around the back of the
head, before running up the turnbuckle and leaping over the top rope,
dropping Christian neck-first on the top rope!
JR: "Rey's got Christian sprawled out in the ring after that move, but can
he capitalise?"
Gr8-Scott: "Well whatever he does, I'm sure it'll be interesting!"
Rey climbs back onto the apron. He looks down at a fallen Christian, before
leaping up and spinning around to land on the turnbuckle, his back to the
ring. Rey Mysterio leaps off at Christian laying in the ring with a
Moonsault, but Christian swiftly rolls out of the way and gets to his feet!
JR: "He wasn't that badly hurt! He was putting it on!"
Gr8-Scott: "A cunning tactic, you must admit JR."
Christian rolls over Rey and makes the cover...1...2... Christian sits up!
He gets an evil smile on his face as he drags Mysterio to his feet and
throws him off the ropes, catching him with a back body drop on the return.
Rey leaps to his feet again, and Christian just stands there.
JR: "What's Christian doing now?"
Gr8-Scott: "I'd say he's just standing there."
Christian leans over to Rey, his hands behind his back. Rey looks confused,
but begins laying the punches in on Christian, who staggers backwards. Rey
lines up for a clothesline, but Christian ducks it and turns around, only to
leave his hands behind his back again, smiling to Rey.
JR: "Christian is mocking Rey, making believe that Mysterio needs some
leeway from his opponents to win matches!"
Rey leaps into the air, going for a Hurricanrana on Christian, but the
Womens champion catches him mid-air, before lowering him to the ground with
a weak sit-down Powerbomb. Christian holds Rey down for a pin...1...2... Rey
kicks out and Christian, in a mock act of anger, begins to stomp the crowd.
The noise from the fans becomes huge, an Christian turns around to taunt and
spit at them.
Gr8-Scott: "This isn't right. Christian really should be taking this match
seriously."
Christian grabs Rey by the head as he gets to his feet, anger in his eyes.
Christian throws him over the top rope!
JR: "Christian relieving the ring of Rey's presence now."
Rey, however, lands on the top rope! He looks in at Christian, as he turns
around in the ring. A loud cheer from the crowd makes Christian turn around
again, and Rey leaps onto the top rope, balancing himself before flying off
and landing on Christian's shoulders. Mysterio flips backwards, giving
Christian the Hurriranrana, before bridging it over into a pin! The referee
counts...1...2...3!
Gr8-Scott: "New Womens champion! What an upset!"
JR: "Christian got completely shocked by that outcome!"
Gr8-Scott: "Look, he still can't believe it!"
Rey takes his belt and leaves the ring, as Christian begins to realise
what's happened. He gets up, kicking the ropes and arguing with the referee.
JR: "Christian's gone nuts!"
He grabs the referee by the shirt and pulls him in, before kicking him in
the stomach. He underhooks the referee, before slamming him face-first onto
the mat with an Unprettier!
JR: "Erm.. well let's have a look at earlier tonight, where Al Snow and Dean
Malenko were manning the temporarily labelled Church!"
The titantron flicks on, and Al Snow and Dean Malenko are standing outside a
small marquee, adorned lavishly in golden and silver crosses. One or two
people stroll past on the outside, as a couple of Sin Wardens stand outside.
Al: "Welcome to our humble Church, home of the live 1-800-CON-FESS call
operators. Please feel free at any time during the show, if you feel you
have sinned, to come out and talk to our trained members of staff. Or else
you could find one of our many Sin Wardens located around the arena today to
free yourself of all wrongdoings. Remember, you can't get into heaven
without a sinless lifestyle!"
The camera fades out into a bright white light, before cutting to Gr8-Scott
and JR in the arena again.
Gr8-Scott: "Well up now we'll see the return of Al Snow, as he faces Kurt
Angle in a one on one match!"
JR: "The Legends as they were, perhaps previously, known, have definitely
changed since their ass kicking days of before."
Gr8-Scott: "But the thing to question is, has it affected their current
in-ring abilities?"
JR: "That can only be told by watching our next match..."
Standard match
Al Snow vs Kurt Angle
The Choir step out onto the stage, their heads bowed and a candle in their
hands. They begin singing, as Al Snow steps out, a robe covering him from
his shoulders downwards. Al Snow leads the way to the ring, as the Choir
follow, singing their religious song. As Al rolls into the ring, the song is
broken by the sound of kazoos playing over the P.A. System. Out step the
midgets who indeed have kazoos in their hands, playing a very amateurish
version of Kurt's music. The European Champion slides into the ring and
immediately charges at Al, who ducks his punch attempt.
JR: "Let's get on with the battle!"
Al turns around, and begins laying in the punches to the face of Angle,
backing him up a bit further each time. Angle gets forced against the
turnbuckle, where Al proceeds to shove his shoulder into Angle's ribs and
stomach. Finally, he whips him over to the opposite turnbuckle.
Gr8-Scott: "A ‘Holy' Irish whip executed by Reverend Snow!"
Al turns around and charges at Kurt, who steps out of the corner and grabs
him, before pulling him into the air and dropping him face first on the
turnbuckle with a hotshot! Al turns around and walks straight into an
overhead Belly to belly Suplex from Angle!
JR: "Angle hits the Belly to belly!"
Gr8-Scott: "That's gotta be a shock to a system which hasn't been in the
ring for four months."
Kurt quickly rolls over to Al and grabs him in a headlock as they both lay
on the floor.
JR: "Kurt perhaps trying to wear down Al Snow in the early goings?"
Gr8-Scott: "That's Reverend Snow to you. And yes, with his period of
inactiveness when it comes to wrestling, wearing him down early on could
prove fatal for this match."
Al struggles to move away, as Angle tries to grab the headlock in tighter.
Suddenly, Al sits half up, before rolling backwards and over Angle, forcing
him to let go. He grabs Angle's leg for a pin as the referee
counts...1...2... kickout! Kurt and Al both get to their feet, and Angle
chases after Reverend Snow, only to be picked up and Spinebustered back to
the canvas again!
JR: "Nice counter by Reverend Snow there."
Snow then quickly pulls Kurt to his feet again, before throwing him at the
ropes. Angle holds onto the top and pulls himself under the bottom to the
safety of ringside. Al Snow sees this and runs to the side of the ring,
shooting under the bottom rope and hitting Angle against the side of the
barricade with a Baseball slide. Angle falls forward and straight into an
Atomic Drop by Al!
Gr8-Scott: "I'm quite impressed by the way Al's stringing these moves
together after this time away!"
JR: "Yeah Angle needs to pick his game up a bit."
Kurt turns around so his back is to Al, who then proceeds to forearm him
across the back and shoulders. Kurt falls to his knees and begins to crawl
away, as Al Snow follows him slowly, taking in the admiration of the fans.
Al pulls Kurt to his feet but Angle falls backwards onto his backside.
Gr8-Scott: "Kurt Angle can't really be that hurt or scared of Al that he's
doing this!"
Al walks over to Kurt, and immediately finds himself wrapped up in Angle's
arm and legs. Angle rolls backwards and over, forcing Al Snow onto his
stomach. Kurt stands up and grasps Snow in the Anklelock!
JR: "Anklelock on Al Snow! But it's outside the ring!"
Snow begins hollering in pain, his face twisted and contorted at the pain of
the Anklelock. He tries to turn over, but Angle gets a different base and
balances himself. Al turns the other way, before quickly turning back again,
forcing Kurt to let go of the hold! Angle falls to the floor, but the two
both get to their feet at the same time. Angle tries to clothesline Al Snow,
but Snow turns around and grabs Angle from behind, before picking him up and
dropping him on the matting at ringside with a Blue Thunder Powerbomb!
Gr8-Scott: "What a move by Al! But that could've left Angle incapacitated!"
Snow pulls Angle to his feet and throws him into the ring. He looks around
the arena and rolls back into the ring, where Kurt is slowly pulling himself
to his feet via the ropes. Angle once again charges at Al.
JR: "I'm surprised by how quickly Kurt has recovered from that outside the
ring!"
Angle swings Al, knocking him backwards with a sharp punch. He does it
again, and Al leans against the ropes, giving Angle a chance to whip him to
the opposite side. Angle catches Al with a back body drop on the return,
before waiting for him to return to a vertical base. He grabs Al by the leg
and arm and lifts him into the air, ready for an Angle Slam, but Snow falls
back onto his feet and drops Angle with a dropkick.
Gr8-Scott: "This match is getting very close and intense towards the end!"
The fans cheer, as Al Snow holds his arm into the air, and grabs Kurt by the
head, pulling him to his knees. Angle swings his arm upwards, however,
catching Snow with a low blow! Al reels over, giving Kurt a change to leap
to his feet, grab Snow, and drop him with an Olympic Slam! Kurt covers Al as
the referee counts...1...2...3!
JR: "Another upset tonight! Kurt Angle has defeated the former champion Al
Snow in his return match!"
Gr8-Scott: "But Dean's also got a match up now! He's facing Booker T!" JR:
"Talking of which, we believe Booker's got a few things to say
beforehand..."
The camera goes backstage, where Titan is standing next to Booker T, a mic
in his hand. Titan looks over to Booker before putting the mic up to his own
mouth.
Titan: "Booker T, you're about to have a match against one of the biggest
Superstars you've ever faced, Dean Malenko. And this is his return match as
well, of course. Keeping that in mind, what do you feel about this? Do you
think you're experienced enough yet, to go against such a force?"
Titan holds the mic up to Booker's face.
Booker: "What? What did you just say sucka? Am I experienced enough yet? Let
me tell you something... what is your name? Sucka? Let me tell you that I've
been here for over seven months. And in that time I've won the Hardcore
title, the Tag Team titles and... hey what's this Ssucka doing here?"
Suddenly, Rhyno comes stomping onto the scene, looking straight into the
eyes of Titan. As Titan begins to step backwards, Rhyno looks up and gets in
Booker T's face, a look of anger in his eyes. Rhyno snatches the mic from
Titan's grasp and begins verbalising his hatred for everything around him.
Rhyno: "Jerry Lynn! Frshhchhhhhhhhh! Where is that bastard!"
Titan appears to have got himself a new mic, as he begins to speak.
Titan: "Rhyno, we're on live television. You can't say things like that."
Rhyno: "What? What did you just tell me to do you little cretin?
Scrhhhhrrrrrhh!"
Booker T snatches the mic from Titan's hand and looks at Rhyno. He begins to
speak.
Booker: "Hey Sucka, what do you think you're doing coming on to MY
television time, and interrupting ME? I only let people who HAVEN'T been
pinned by Triple H invade my interview segments."
Rhyno: "What the hell did you just say?"
Rhyno lunges for Booker, catching him square in the face. Booker T turns
around, clutching his face, as Rhyno stands over him, panting and growling.
Booker turns back around and backhands Rhyno across the face, sending them
both into a brawl! They begin to batter each other, until security finally
rush in and hold each back!
Gr8-Scott: "This has exploded tonight!"
JR: "Yeah these two obviously don't like each other, but tempers are flaring
especially!"
Booker and Rhyno continue to shout at each other, as they're dragged their
separate ways down the corridor.
Gr8-Scott: "Booker T's match is up now!"
Standard match
Dean Malenko vs Booker T
The Choir once again make their way out onto the ramp, as Dean Malenko
descends from above the Titantron in front of them. He slowly walks to the
ring, handing out flyers for 1-800-CON-FESS and the mobile church, to the
fans at ringside.
Gr8-Scott: "The work of God never sleeps, not even for a wrestling match."
Xtreme Inc's music hits, and Booker T comes out onto the stage, throwing his
arms into the air as the flames shoot up. He stares straight down to the
ring, where Dean Malenko stands, shaking his head.
JR: "Oh and I suppose Dean Malenko is evil because those are the ‘flames of
hell'?"
Gr8-Scott: "Wow did you go to the Churches seminar on Xtreme Inc this
morning as well?"
Booker climbs onto the apron and into the ring, where he immediately begins
brawling with Dean, trading punches. He elbows Malenko in the head, before
throwing him to the ropes and bending over for the body drop on the return.
Malenko runs back and stops, before booting Booker in the chest. Booker
stands up and walks straight into an Armbar from Dean!
JR: "Dean perhaps now, going back to his technical roots!"
Dean rolls out of it and grabs Booker by the leg, wrapping it around his own
and twisting it sideways.
Gr8-Scott: "The legendary leg grapevine! I'm honoured!"
Dean continues to pull back on it, until Booker realises it doesn't hurt and
quickly reaches the ropes. The two get to their feet, and Dean tries to get
Booker in a reverse waistlock. Booker is having none of it, however, and
prises Dean's arms apart. He turns over so Dean is facing away from Booker,
before releasing the hands and dropping Malenko with a reverse DDT!
JR: "Nice reverse DDT by Booker! Malenko just landed right on his head!"
Booker T pulls Dean's leg over for the cover...1...2... Dean kicks out!
Booker pulls Dean to his feet and thrusts his shoulder into Malenko's
stomach a couple of times. Malenko keels over, and Booker turns around to
run off the ropes.
Gr8-Scott: "What's Booker gonna do here?"
Booker rebounds and runs at Malenko, before jumping over his body and trying
for the Sunset flip! Malenko stands up mid-move and grabs Booker's legs,
lifting him into the air, dangling upside down!
JR: "Booker's in a very precarious position now!"
Gr8-Scott: "Yeah I hear television priests don't wash their robes very
often."
Dean runs forward and jumps into the air, landing on his knees and dropping
him, head first, with a Dragon Driver!
JR: "Oh my God! Dragon Driver to Booker T! What a move!"
Gr8-Scott: "That looked completely devastating!"
Dean stands up and looks at a motionless Booker T laying on the mat. He
grabs his legs, twists his arms into position, and locks to Book Man into a
Texas Cloverleaf! Booker T can't resist, and slowly taps his hand on the
canvas.
JR: "Dean won!"
Gr8-Scott: "Should we get some medics for Booker?"
JR: "Nah he'll be okay. Remember folks, it's only e-wrestling! It's all
fake!"
"Yabooo suckers!" Rhyno's music hits, and the Federation champion comes
stomping out to the ring, an even angrier look on his face. Booker T slowly
gets to his feet with the aid of the referee.
Gr8-Scott: "Erm, was that option of a medic still available?"
Rhyno steps into the ring, and, without hesitation, lifts Booker T into the
air from behind, before dropping him down to the canvas with a Christingle
Driver! Rhyno rolls him out of the ring and gets on the mic, even more
pissed off than earlier.
Rhyno: "Jerry Lynn, I DEMAND you come out here now!"
Rhyno stands and waits in the ring, pacing up and down. He continues to
growl and pant as he goes, staring straight at the entrance way.
Rhyno: "Jerry, if you don't come out here now.... I'll not only maim you,
but also your mother, father, uncle, any cousins you have, your whole
family! JERRY LYNN GET OUT HERE NOW!"
Rhyno waits for a little while longer, before throwing down the mic and
pacing backstage.
Gr8-Scott: "Well that was... unexpected. Up now we've got an
Intercontinental title match, where Triple H and Steve Blackman will vie for
the currently vacant belt!"
Intercontinental title match
Triple H vs Steve Blackman
Less than Jobbers' music hits, and Triple H steps out onto the ramp. He
drinks from his Evian, but accidentally drops it onto the ramp, letting it
all spill out through the metal grille. Slowly, he reaches into his pants
and pulls out a spare bottle, which he takes to the ring with. He takes a
sip, and spits it out to a completely empty ringside area.
Gr8-Scott: "I guess they don't want to all get ball-smell on themselves."
JR: "That's vile."
Steve Blackman's music hits and the Lethal Weapon steps out onto the stage,
sending fists-a-flying. He walks down to the ring and rolls in, circling the
ring opposite The Game. The bell rings, and the two tie up, with Triple H
forcing Blackman into the corner. Blackman tries to reverse it, but HHH
grabs him by the throat and forces him back against the buckle!
Gr8-Scott: "Triple H trying to gain control over Blackman in the early
goings... and succeeding."
Triple H begins laying in the punches to Blackman, causing his head to snap
back on each contact. He grabs Blackman and whips him to the opposite
turnbuckle, but Blackman reverses and sends Triple H backwards against it!
Triple H staggers forwards and walks straight into a Heel kick from the
Lethal Weapon.
JR: "Blackman sends The Game to the canvas."
Gr8-Scott: "Hmm?"
JR: "Did you not see the Heel kick?"
Gr8-Scott: "No I was reading Sean's diary. Quite successful comedy novel
actually."
JR: "I don't think you should be reading that..."
Gr8-Scott: "Why not? ARGH! He stuck his mums y-fronts in as a book mark!
That's vile!"
JR: "Didn't receive his Bossman one then I take it?"
Blackman hauls The Game back to his feet and starts laying in the chops to
his stomach like there's no tomorrow. Triple H gets backed up against the
ropes, and Blackman readies himself for a Sidekick. Triple H moves, and
Blackman gets crotched on the top rope!
Gr8-Scott: "That's gotta hurt!"
The Game climbs onto the top rope and begins bouncing up and down on it,
agonising Blackman's position even more. He charges at the Lethal Weapon and
sends the both of them crashing to the floor outside the ring!
JR: "They're out in front of us now, this could be dangerous..."
Triple H gets to his feet first, and hauls Blackman up. He winds up and
swings for Steve, but Blackman ducks and kicks him in the stomach as he
turns around. Triple H bends over and Blackman goes to hit him with a
Fishermans Suplex, but The Game reverses it and takes Steve over and down
with a Vertical Suplex!
Gr8-Scott: "Nice suplex on the canvas! That could've taken a lot out of
Blackman, but Triple H as well!"
The Game doesn't relent. He grabs Blackman and pulls him to his feet, before
lifting him into the air once more, and dumping him forwards onto the
announcer table, chest first! Blackman rolls over and falls behind the
table, where Triple H tries to grab him from. Blackman comes up and hits
Triple H in the face with a high leg!
JR: "Wow! Maybe there's something in the air tonight that's making people
recover quickly."
Gr8-Scott: "Or maybe we're trying to fit as much as we can into a small
space of time so I can bugger off to the pub afterwards."
JR: "You're going to the pub again?!?"
Gr8-Scott: "Yeah, but I'm driving."
Blackman climbs onto the table alongside Triple H. They begin trading fists,
knocking each other back slightly with each one. Suddenly, Steve Blackman
grabs Triple H and throws his head under The Game's armpit. Blackman stands
up and falls backwards, slamming Triple H through the announcer's table!
JR: "Triple H and Blackman just collapsed our table with that Northern
Lights Suplex!"
After a long period, Steve Blackman starts to stir. He gets to his knees,
and then feet, before rolling into the ring and leaning against the ropes as
he waits for Triple H. The Game slowly rolls over, but lays just in front of
the ring, struggling to get up. Blackman gets out of the ring and throws
Triple H back in, allowing The Game to slowly stagger to his feet.
Gr8-Scott: "Blackman's fed up of waiting now, he's getting the mat
restarted."
JR: "Yeah, all that time allowed Triple H to recover somewhat."
Blackman climbs back into the ring but immediately walks into a roll-up from
Triple H! The Game puts his feet on the ropes as he holds Blackman down by
the legs and the referee counts...1...2...3! Triple H gets up and takes the
title, celebrating as his music hits!
Gr8-Scott: "The Game has just defeated Steve Blackman to become
Intercontinental champion for the third time!"
JR: "He's certainly pleased with himself!"
Triple H quickly rolls out of the ring as Blackman regains his bearings,
before walking up the ramp as Smackdown! goes off the air.....
