Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for November 25, 1999

D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) waits for WWF Chairman Vince McMahon with a man in a suit standing nearby.

Jim Ross interviews The Big Show in the ring to start the show. Big Show says being WWF Champion is incredible, and he is on top of the world as he calls the WWF Championship the most coveted title in sports entertainment. Having the title means more to him than anything else in the world, and he just wishes his dad was around to see it. Suddenly, Chris Jericho shows up, and tells Big Show not to worry about having a father anymore, as tonight, he is his daddy. He asks if Big Show deserves to be a heavyweight champion due to his size, and says that charisma and showmanship - things Jericho says Big Show does not have - matter more than size, and that Big Show should be carrying his bags and begging for him not to kick his dimpled, cottage cheese ass. Tonight, he wants a no-disqualification match for the WWF Championship, as he wants the title around his waist. Big Show says he has no problems beating Jericho like the bitch that he is right now.

Big Show retains the WWF Championship against Chris Jericho in a no-disqualification match. During the match, The Big Boss Man shows up, and Big Show goes after Boss Man between the audience and the aisle. Chyna and Miss Kitty - the former with bandages around her hight hand - show up as referee Tim White is pre-occupied with Boss Man and Big Show, and when Jericho approaches Chyna, she hits him in the head twice with a hammer. Big Show then gets back in the ring, with Boss Man nowhere in sight, and choke slams Jericho to retain.

A Thanksgiving feast is prepared backstage.

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon's limousine pulls up, and we find out that the man in the suit is from the courts as he hands a temporary order of protection against McMahon, telling him that if he comes within fifty feet of D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), he will be arrested. Vince, Test and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon are livid as they make their way into the arena.

Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco meet with WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, co-owner Shane McMahon and Test. Vince declares that The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) will defend the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) in a steel cage. X-Pac and Triple H will also be in a tag team match against Shane and Test.

Wrestling legends Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah - dressed as a turkey and a Pilgrim, respectively - are seen in the front row behind Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Mae Young is also seen with a flask in her hand.

Before the next match, Kurt Angle says it is time to be thankful for the gifts that we receive throughout our livs. He says is thankful for the talent that he has been blessed with, but more importantly, he is thankful for the "3 I's" - Intensity, Integiry, and Intelligence - that have given him success since he was born. He says that Thanksgiving is a time is also a time for people to give to one another, and his gift to the fans is putting on another fantastic performance for all to enjoy. He hopes that the fans give back to him a gift that he would be very proud to have: their respect and support. He then wishes the fans a happy Thanksgiving. Michael Cole then mentions the WWF's letter-writing drive against the Parents' Television Council mentioned by Jim Ross on Raw. Letters can be addressed the following address: U.S. Navy Commander Howington, 5722 Integrity Drive Building 784, Millington, TN 38054. (The address is no longer active.)

Kurt Angle beats D'Lo Brown. After the match, Mae Young is noticeably drunk.

The Thanksgiving feast continues to be prepared backstage, and a table with turkey on it is brought out to ringside.

Mankind talks to Al Snow, who feels betrayed due to Mankind and The Rock having a match together tonight. Mankind says The Rock is his friend, but when they show up together, they get a better response from the people. Al Snow resents The Rock for some reason.

D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) lament the fact that they all have to wrestle on Thanksgiving, and says the only good thing about it is that WWF Chairman Vince McMahon cannot be within fifty feet of them. Triple H says they should lighten up and be more thankful, and he has an idea.

Before the next match, Val Venis says Thanksgiving just happens to be every guy's favorite holiday, because on Thanksgivign, they get to go out and look for that one beautiful bird, bring the bird home, spread its legs and stuff it, crank the heat up and get the bird get all hot and juicy. When it is time to serve up the good, all the wives and girlfriends get to suck the meat clean off their drumsticks.

Val Venis beats The British Bulldog by disqualification after Bulldog hits Venis with a low blow on the top rope in full view of referee Tim White. The British Bulldog retains the WWF European Championship.

D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) head outside and admire the scenery outside of the arena before saying the place sucks after smelling something. They come across three homeless people and offer to get them some food at the arena.

The Big Boss Man retains the WWF Hardcore Championship against Kane. Tori is seen watching the match from backstage when Viscera is behind her. He puts his hands on her, and Tori runs away from him. Suddenly, Tori finds Kane and tells him what is going on, but Prince Albert hits Kane from behind with a nightstick and Big Boss Man retains. After the match, Viscera tries to attack Kane, but he runs away when Kane gets up.

Before the next match, Mankind wishes the fans a very happy Thanksgiving. (At this time, the man with the "WWF Is Immoral/World Wide Filth" sign is seen in the crowd again.) As he breaks down Thanksgiving into "thanks" and giving, he sees a fan dressed as Mr. Socko. He gives out a special thanks to The Rock, because when he put his hand out and The Rock made the tag, he could feel the reaction and the energy from the crowd and says it was the greatest moment in sports entertainment. He then gives my sincere apologies for yelling at The Rock, as not only did The Rock not throw his book in the garbage, he read it and liked it. He hopes that the fans are still hungry, as he serving a helping of "The Rock 'n Sock Connection." The Rock then shows up. Since he is in the Thanksgiving spirit, he notices there is a table full of pies at ringside. He walks over to the pies, and noticed a pumpkin pie, a pecan pie, an apple pie, and a pie with the word "Poontang" on it, which The Rock calls "poontang pie." The Rock has a taste of the poontang pie and says that is "some of the best poontang pie The Rock has ever tasted." He then mentions that Michael Cole has never had a taste of poontang pie and lays it on the commentary table, tells him not to be afraid of the poontang, and tells him that when he is ready for poontang, poontang will be ready for him. Michael Cole then gets a piece of the poontang pie and likes it. The Rock then tells Cole to tell him and the fans his first experience with poontang pie was like, then tells him it doesn't matter what his first experience was like.

Mankind and The Rock beat The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly) to become #1 contenders for the WWF Tag Team Championships. During the match, Al Snow is seen watching the match from a TV backstage, wondering what The Rock has as he tells Head he hates The Rock and calls Mankind "a suck-up."

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) in a Steel Cage Match. During the match, Matt Hardy inadvertently wipes out referee Jimmy Korderas with a moonsault off the top of the steel cage onto Road Dogg and Jeff Hardy. Jeff Hardy is tossed out of the cage accidentally, but Jimmy Korderas does not see it and X-Pac runs in to toss Jeff back in and close the cage door. Korderas is getting back onto his feet as X-Pac kicks Matt off the steel cage so that Billy Gunn can climb out through the cage door and retain for the Outlaws.

Before the next match, it is announced that WWF Chairman Vince McMahon has brought the homeless people that D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) taunted and kicked out back into the building, and they are seen having Thanksgiving dinner.
