WWE - In With the Old

[matbar]

*CLOSED*

.:Back Story:.

~Monday September 20th~

Raw

The week of surprise returns goes on when former D-Generation X and nWo member, X-Pac returns to help Triple H and Evolution fight off a team of Randy Orton, Shelton Benjamin, Chris Benoit, and William Regal after Evolution members Ric Flair and Batista defeat Benoit and Regal in Tag Team action.

Also, the battle over the Intercontinental title continues as Edge helps Christian beat Chris Jericho in a non-title match up. After the match, it looked like Edge was out to help his brother and former partner, but he floored Christian with Jericho's belt.

Rhyno and Tajiri get one last shot at La Resistance and the Tag Titles at Taboo Tuesday as ordered by GM Eric Bishoff. You, the fans, get to vote on what type of match they square off in.

There’s still no word on Lita, and Kane took out his anger on anyone he could find. As Kane was about to crush Stevie Richard's skull with a chair, HBK Shawn Michaels ran down to make the save, but was beaten down in the process.

~Results~

Victoria def. Jazz, Stacy, and Nidia to become the #1 contender for the Woman's Title.

Rhyno and Tajiri def. La Resistance

Kane def. Stevie Richards

Christian def. Chris Jericho in a non-title match

Batista and Ric Flair def. William Regal and Chris Benoit

~Thursday September 23rd~

SmackDown!

SmackDown's 5th Anniversary is a smash hit. The show starts out with a video of Hulk Hogan talking about how special it was to be on SmackDown and in front of the world. An emotional Hogan also announces his retirement from Wrestling, effective the end of October.

The biggest surprise of the night came during the Undertaker vs. Gangrel and Viscera match. John "Bradshaw" Layfeild ran down and attacked The Undertaker causing a disqualification to end the match. Undertaker tried to fight off all three men, but couldn't. Steve Austin and Mankind ran down to the ring to even the odds, and cleared the ring when Steve hit Viscera with a huge stunner, Mankind locked in the Mandible Claw on Gangrel, and Taker Tombstone JBL. Orlando Jordan ran down, and pulled his employer out of the ring to safety, and SmackDown ended with a 'Bang' as Diamond Dallas Page ran out of the crowd and hit Jordan with a Diamond Cutter.

Eddie Guerrero turned on his partner, Big Show, and joined forces with Kurt Angle, and Luther Reigns, but the three men couldn't stop the rampage of The Big Show. Show easily took care of all three men. Teddy Long announced that Big Show did indeed sign the contract to face Eddie Guerrero at No Mercy, so it will be a 2-on-1 handicap match, Guerrero and Angle vs. Big Show.

The problems between Paul London and Billy Kidman escalated after Paul went for his own version of a Shooting Star Press, The London Calling, on Spike Dudley in a match for the Cruiserweight Championship, but Kidman stopped him, and allowed Spike to hit the Dudley Dog for the win. London and Kidman will square off in a SSP match at No Mercy. The first person to land a Shooting Star Press wins the match.

Match 5 of the Booker T/John Cena US Title bout has been announced for No Mercy. The Stipulation: I Quit Match. The loser quits the company, and can not return to SmackDown ever again!

With Michael Cole still held captive by John Heidenreich, Paul Heyman has taken over his duties as SmackDown announcer. Tazz has accepted a match, if he beats Heidenreich, Cole will be released, but if he loses, Tazz must step down as Commentator of SmackDown!

~Results~

Scotty 2 Hotty def. Funaki to face Spike at No Mercy for the Cruiserweight Title, but is injured, and will pick an opponent to replace him.

Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree def. Billy Gunn and Hardcore Holly to retain the Tag Titles

Spike Dudley def. Paul London to retain the Cruiserweight Title

Big Show and Eddie Guerrero def. Kurt Angle and Luther Reigns

The Undertaker vs. Gangrel and Viscera ended in a No Contest through Interference.

The newest member of Evolution, X-Pac, decided it was a good idea to rekindle old friendships, and offered his help to the Big Red Machine, Kane. X-Pac didn't get the answer he expected when Kane told him to meet him in the ring. Kane, who is still waiting on word on his wife, Lita, and their child, destroyed X-Pac and Ric Flair in the ring. Kane then let the fans decide who he faces at Taboo Tuesday; any member of Evolution, or Shawn Michaels.

The World Champ, Triple H and Batista beat Chris Benoit and William Regal in Tag Action, where Batista showed what a force he is, and let Triple H relax at the commentary booth. Benoit had the Crossface locked in, but Batista powered out, and hit a bone shattering Powerslam for the win.

Rhyno and Tajiri told the fans that threw want a Hardcore match to show how Extreme they are, but its up to you to decide the match at Taboo Tuesday.

The Diva search is just about over. We're down to two contestants, and its up to you who wins. Carmella, Christy, or neither!

Shelton Benjamin is back with a vengeance. He's after Triple H and the title, but first he got back at Garrison Cade, who put Benjamin on the sidelines.

Also, the first Trade between Raw and SmackDown since The Big Show took place as Billy 'Mr. Ass' Gunn was sent to Raw for 'The World's Strongest Man' Mark Henry

~Results~

Rhyno def. Rob Conway

Chris Jericho vs. Christian ends in no contest through interference by Edge

Shelton Benjamin def. Garrison Cade

Triple H and Batista def. Chris Benoit and William Regal

Kane def. X-Pac

Thursday September 30th

SmackDown

This weeks Main Event featured The Undertaker, DDP, Steve Austin and Mankind beating JBL, Orlando Jordan, Viscera, and Gangrel for the easy win, giving Taker the advantage for Sunday's Pay Per View.

Scotty 2 Hotty announced that his replacement for No Mercy would be the most decorated Cruiserweight of all time, as Ultimo Dragon makes his return to the WWE!

Big Show decided to test his luck by taking on The Bashams and newly acquired Mark Henry in a handicap match. Big Show won the bout, despite interference by Luther Reigns.

Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero have never seen eye-to-eye, and shocked the world when they teamed up last week, but the tension between the two is still obviously there as the two got in a heated argument backstage. How will they cope together in the ring?

The Dudley Boyz were back in action as they took on Rene Dupree and Kenzo Suzuki for the Tag Titles. Charlie Haas and Rico, and The FBI ran out and put a stop to the match, and Teddy Long announced a 4 way, TLC match for No Mercy.

Chavo Guerrero Jr. returned, but wont be ready for ring work for a few weeks yet thanks to the concoction caused by Billy Kidman's Shooting Star Press. Chavo is backing Paul London for the match at No Mercy.

Tazz had a warm up match, and his ring rust was obvious, but the former ECW Champion barley beat his former ECW Teammate, Rob Van Dam

~Results~

Paul London def. Funaki

Tazz def. Rob Van Dam

Kenzo and Rene vs. The Dudley Boyz ended in a No Contest through Interference.

Big Show def. The Basham Brothers and Mark Henry

The Undertaker, Steve Austin, Mankind and DDP def. JBL, Orlando Jordan, Gangrel, and Viscera
