Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for February 3, 2000

Cactus Jack shows up to start tonight show, and he is accompanied by Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero. He has brought the "radicals" back not as members of the WWF, but as his guests, but he plans to change all that tonight. Earlier this week on Raw, they had Triple H in the middle of the ring flat on his back, and they chose to leave because the "radicals" are not after his blood; instead, they are after contracts. He says that to understand what is going on in their minds, you have to understand the mindset "down in Atlanta, Georgia," where they used to work in World Championship Wrestling. He says the mindset is "keep your mouth shut, check your pride at the door, and sit back and collect a big, fat paycheck." He then says that is not good enough for the four of them, as it is about more than a paycheck for them. Cactus Jack says they want to take on the best, and that the WWF is the only place to do it, as it is their desire to perform in front of the WWF fans and they knew that no matter how good they were, they were not quite old enough for WCW. Cactus Jack says they came to Raw with the testicular fortitude to take on the best, and he asks Triple H to show that same fortitude so they can have one hell of a contract signing. If he does not, then SmackDown will become a two-hour-long sit-down and they will continue to bore the American public. D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Tori show up, and Triple H says that if he really felt like it, he would beat them all up and take them in the back himself, or he could snap his fingers and 20 armed security guards could walk to the ring, round them up, and throw them out of the building. He says they are all trespassing as they have not contract and do not belong, but they are out here as Cactus Jack wants to talk about competition and say DX is afraid of it. He then says Cactus Jack should know better than that, and that he should know DX thrives on competition. Stephanie says the "radicals" may have been hot shots where they came from, but in the WWF, they have to prove who they are to earn their stripes. She says their actions on Monday night prove they are not worthy of joining the WWF. They have assessed their skills, and while they are not bad, they are simply average. In the name of fairness, Triple H says that if they want to rise to the top, they will get their chance. Tonight, they will get a one-day try-out permit, and it will start with Malenko facing X-Pac. Perry Saturn and Eddie Guerrero will be in a tag team match with The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn), while Chris Benoit - who Triple H says was a big fish in a small pond carrying a shiny belt the las time he saw him - will get into the ring with Triple H, should it come to that. He says it will never get to that, as there are rules to the try-out. Contracts will be on the line, and if they can win two matches out of the three, the four of them will get their contracts. However, he says it will never get to him facing Benoit, as Malenko, Eddie and Saturn will be torn apart. Cactus Jack says that is fine, as all they need is one opportunity, but he knows how DX works. To make sure everything is on the up-and-up and that there is no interference, he will be watching from backstage with a 2x4 with barbed wire wrapped around it in his hands, and he begs Triple H to give him a reason to use it.

The Women's Division is seen arguing with Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco, and Pat Patterson announces that one of the women has to draw straws to see who will face Harvey Wippleman for the WWF Women's Championship. Jacqueline draws the short straw and ges the match. This then leads to a fight between everyone, and Patterson and Brisco get dragged into it as referees try to restore order.

Mae Young tells "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry says she wants to beat Harvey Wippleman and become WWF Women's Champion, but Mark Henry reminds her that she is pregnant with their love child. He then tells her he has some baby stuff in the back.

X-Pac beats Dean Malenko.

He tells Triple H he has slow-motion proof on the monitor in front of them, which plays. The Rock's feet seem to touch the floor in the footage, and Triple H tells Big Show he has his match against The Rock at No Way Out as they shake hands.

Before the next match, Harvey Wippleman says he is the Women's Champion because there is not a woman in the WWF or the world who can beat him, for he is all man. He plans to show Jacqueline what a man can do.

Kevin Kelly interviews The Rock. He tells Kevin Kelly to concern himself with the NFL, instant replay or his business, and that he should concern himself with a beverage. He tells Kevin Kelly to find a long, tall glass, fill it with ice, and fill it up with "Shut Up juice." He then grabs the microphone and congratulates Big Show for his whining, bitching and complaining his way into a match with him at No Way Out. He says Big Show may be seven feet tall and 500 lbs., but the one thing he does not have is the recognized symbol of greatness: the Brahma Bull. He says the Brahma Bull means that he is The People's Champion, and he tells Big Show that he will lay the smack down on his big fat candy ass at No Way Out. As for tonight's Triple Threat Match against Tazz and Kurt Angle, he says that the two of them going 2-on-1 with him will make both of their candy asses famous, and after all is said and done and after No Way Out, he is going to WrestleMania and become the best damn WWF Champion there ever was.

"Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry tells Mae Young that he has talked to the doctor again, and hands Mae Young some cream for the stretch marks. Mae Young wants Mark Henry to rub it on her belly. When Mae Young aks if it will help with her wrinkles, Mark says yes and says he has much more in the car.

Before the next match, Kurt Angle says a lot of people are angry and upset with him over suffering his first loss against The Rock. He says that it is okay, and that is why he is in this town, as Detroit, Michigan can relate to losing a lot. Whether it be factory jobs or last year's Stanley Cup, the people here have had their share of setbacks and losses. Unlike this town, however, he will bounce back, overcome adversity and become their champion once again.

Kurt Angle beats Tazz and The Rock in a Triple Threat Match. During the match, Big Show attacks The Rock after The Rock hits Angle with the Rock Bottom, and referee Teddy Long tries to stop him. Angle then rolls on top of Tazz to get the win. After the match, Big Show choke slams The Rock near the aisle, and referees and officials try to restore order.

During the match, Triple H, X-Pac, Tori and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley are seen watching the match in one room, while Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko and Cactus are seen watching the match from the locker room. As a result, Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero will not be able to earn WWF contracts.

It is announced that WWF Entertainment has formed the XFL, and next year, after the NFL season is over, the XFL will be kicking off. The XFL is advertised with "pro football with attitude." For more information, tune in to WWF programming all weekend long, or go to WWF.com.

Backstage, "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman refuses to go through with a bet he made with Al Snow, but he reluctantly agrees to do so anyway when Al Snow says he has no honor. Blackman puts a foam cheese wedge on his head.

Before the next match. it is announced that Eddie Guerrero has been diagnosed with a dislocated shoulder and a possible fracture, and that he has been taken to the local Henry Ford Hospital. During the match, Rikishi kicks out of the choke slam, and Big Show responds by bringing a steel chair into the ring which he smashes into Rikishi's head. After the match, Grandmaster Sexy and Scotty 2 Hotty - whom Rikishi have asked to head to the back so he can take Big show on himself before the match - run into the ring, but Big Show makes quick work of them. Big Show grabs the steel chair again, but The Rock runs into the ring and hits Big Show with the steel chair before hitting the Rock Bottom. Afterwards, referees and officials try to restore order as The Rock takes the boots to Big Show before leaving.

Backstage, the rest of D-Generation X (X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), Tori and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley tells Triple H that Chris Benoit should be no problem for him after what they did to Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn and Eddie Guerrero.

We see a video package of The Dudley Boyz' (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) recent path of table-related destruction.

"Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry and Mae Young are seen hugging and kicking, and what feels like Mae Young's baby kicking is just Mae Young needing to fart.
