Smackdown!

San Jose, California
April 6, 2000

The music of Rikishi kicked off SmackDown! as the big man challenged Chris Benoit for the Intercontinental Championship. The new champion looked great against the larger Rikishi, defeating him via pinfall after a belly-to-belly suplex. After the match, Rikishi stuck his enormous rear end into Chris Benoit's face.

Shane and Vince McMahon then addressed the capacity crowd. Vince assured everybody in attendance that DX would be there, despite the rumors that they wouldn't be. Vince then called out referee Earl Hebner to clear up the controversy surrounding the final match Monday night on RAW. Earl claimed that The Rock told him to count to three when he was pinning Triple H. Vince threatened to knock Earl on his ass if he ever counted out Triple H in a non sanctioned match again. Vince then called out Lilian Garcia. He told the ring announcer that pretty faces are a dime a dozen, and threatened to fire her if she made a mistake in her announcements again. Vince then mentioned that J.R. made a similar mistake, however, J.R. never made his way to ringside. Then, in an attempt to right the wrong of Monday night, Vince stated that he would team up with his son later in the evening to battle The Rock.

After the commercial break, the fans in attendance got to see T and A, as Test and Albert teamed up to face the Dudley Boyz. Despite a great effort and a beautiful lady at their side, T and A fell victim to the 3D and the Dudley Boys. After the match, Matt and Jeff Hardy attacked the Dudleys. The four Superstars went at each other up until the commercial break.

Perry Saturn and Tazz were scheduled to battle next. However, the match never got under way. Saturn Pearl Harbored Tazz and the match was ruled a no-contest.

Al Snow and Steve Blackman battled the team of Bull Buchanan and Big Boss Man. Boss Man and Bull got the victory when Bull hit Al Snow with a leg drop from the top rope.

In front of the capacity crowd, Eddy Guerrero then asked Chyna why she sided with him on RAW. Chyna answered that she couldn't resist his Latino heat. Chyna then mentioned that Chris Jericho was always jealous of her. Y2J was quick to interrupt Eddy and Chyna's promo. Jericho absolutely destroyed the new couple.

The Light Heavyweight Championship was on the line when Dean Malenko put up the belt against Taka. As expected, the action was fast and furious. On several occasions, Taka nearly upset the Champion. However, Dean was able to pull off the victory after applying a Texas Cloverleaf.

After the commercial break, Godfather and his ladies competed against Big Show. Show came to the ringside dressed as a pimp. The match ended when one of the Godfather's ladies aided Big Show on his way to the victory. After the match, Big Show and the lady that helped him kissed in the center of the ring.

Kurt Angle and Hardcore Holly teamed up to challenge Edge and Christian for the Tag Team Championship. Unfortunately for Angle fans everywhere, his union with Holly turned out to be unsuccessful, as Edge pinned Holly for the pin after a super-super-plex. After the match, Holly attacked Angle.

Before the final match of the evening, Shane McMahon - who acted as the special guest ring announcer - introduced Triple H as the guest referee. Shane then announced the team of Road Dogg and X-Pac before announcing The Rock. The Rock was at a severe disadvantage. Not only was it a two-on-one match, but Triple H's officiating was obviously biased. DX held the advantage early on in the match, however, The Rock battled back several times, only to be shot down by poor officiating. Mayhem broke loose when The Rock knocked out Triple H and then an interfering Vince McMahon with a steel chair. The Rock stood over Vince's limp body as SmackDown! went off the air.
