Triple H's mind games help Hogan retain the title against Jericho
Page 1 of 5
With a huge Undisputed World Wrestling Federation Championship match between Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Chris Jericho as its main event, the May 2 episode of SmackDown! emanated from the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh, Pa.!
The show opened with tag-team action, as Rikishi and The Hurricane challenged Billy & Chuck for the Tag Team Championship. As always, the champs were accompanied to ringside by their stylist, Rico. Billy was about to get a Stink Face, but Rico pulled his man to safety. Hurricane seemingly had Chuck pinned with a bodypress, but the referee was distracted, allowing Rico to superkick the super hero! Chuck then pinned Hurricane for a successful title defense. After the bout, an irate Hurricane chokeslammed Rico, and Rikishi then gave him a Stink Face!
Lance Storm and The Big Valbowski were talking backstage when they were approached by Kurt Angle. Angle said it was a shame that the two men were two of the greatest superstars in the company, and their greatest contribution to SmackDown! thus far had been betting on Mark Henry. Angle said that on SmackDown!, he would be unveiling his real new T-shirt, and he would give one of them an opportunity to model it for him. The shirt said, "Olympic hero, it's true, it's true." And Valbowski added, "Your T-shirt sucks, and so do you!" Angle asked what Valbowski knows, since he wears a towel! Lance said he'd be happy to wear Angle's T-shirt, saying it was a fine piece of outerwear, but asked if Kurt was worried about the crowd chanting "You suck." Angle said no, since they were in his hometown of Pittsburgh, and he was their greatest hero. Speaking of Pittsburgh sports heroes, Angle said Mario Lemieux had even faked his bout with Hodgkin's Disease to get sympathy!
Moments later, Angle and Storm headed to the ring, with Storm wearing Angle's new T-shirt. And although Angle was in his hometown, the crowd chanted "You suck!" louder than ever! Angle told the crowd that Lance Storm doesn't suck -- he may be Canadian, but he's pretty cool. And why is he cool? Because he was wearing the real Kurt Angle T-shirt. The shirt had a poem on the front, and listed Angle's accomplishments on the back. Angle said because of all the writing on the T-shirt, it was only available in XXL or larger.
Angle asked Lance what he thought of the shirt, and Storm said it was just great. Angle said he knew the fans were having a bad time balancing their budget, since most were unemployed, but he told them to take the money they would normally spend on beer and porno and put it to good use. He asked who wanted to buy his T-shirt -- and suddenly, Edge's music sounded, and out to the stage he came.
