DECEMBER 4, 2003 - SmackDown!


With three weeks to go until Christmas and four until 2004, SmackDown kicks off its holiday season with a present for wrestling purists - a four-way match involving four of the most exciting cruiserweights in the world! It's Jamie Noble versus Shannon Moore versus Carlito versus Tajiri!

Moore and Carlito start the match, and there's good back-and-forth between the two until Noble tags in and goes toe-to-toe with Carlito with Noble taking advantage with superior technical skills. Tajiri comes in and works over Carlito, who panics and tags in Moore. Tajiri finishes the match with a top-rope DDT and the Kick of Death.

Up next, it's the latest chapter in the saga of Paul Heyman trying to destroy Rhyno, as he's arranged for the Manbeast to face off against former WWE Tag Team Champions the Basham Brothers. Rhyno dominates both men until the Bashams manage to land a series of double team moves. Rhyno fights off Danny, but Doug takes advantage, and they double-team some more. Rhyno plants Doug with a Death Valley Driver, then GOOOOOOOOOOOOOREs Danny for the win.

After the match, Stephanie McMahon and Paul Heyman are in a shouting match backstage. Stephanie tells Heyman that she's the General Manager of SmackDown!, and Paul has no business booking matches on her show. He may have all the gold, but she has all the power, and he would do well to remember that.

Up next is another Royal Rumble qualifying match, and the winner will have to be one of the odds-on favorites in January based on sheer size alone. Unfortunately, Rikishi and Big Show don't exactly put on a masterpiece. Show manages to hit a massive Show Stopper to win the match and book himself a spot in the Rumble.

Last week, Ultimo Dragon earned a shot at Billy Kidman's Cruiserweight Title by defeating Carlito in a contender's match. Kidman starts off with some martial arts kicks and sweeps. Dragon fights back, and they go back-and-forth for several minutes until Kidman lands a picture-perfect dropkick to set up his Shooting Star Press to retain the title.

Another spot in the Royal Rumble is on the line now as a pair of men with an affinity for motorcycles match up. It's Undertaker vs the FBI's Chuck Palumbo. They put on a surprisingly good match, even though the crowd isn't really into it. Undertaker hits the Chokeslam to advance to the Rumble match.

Up next is a fatal fourway for a shot at Big Show's United States Title next week. Eddie Guerrero and Edge start the match, but Shelton Benjamin quickly tags in and shows off suplexes on Eddie. Eddie manages to tag in Hardcore Holly, but Shelton takes control again and lands a sweet belly-to-belly from the top rope. Inexplicably, he tags in Eddie, who hits some major high-impact moves. Chavo Guerrero appears at ringside with a steel chair. Holly goes to whip Eddie toward it, but Eddie reverses, and it nails Holly instead! Eddie rolls up Holly to earn the title shot!

A furious Chavo grabs the microphone. "Eddie, I don't care whether you win the title or not, I am just so sick and tired of us going back and forth like this. Armageddon is supposed to be the final battleground, right? Well, let's make it that way. One way or the other, title, no title, it all ends at Armageddon!"

Chris Benoit and Rey Mysterio enter the third match of their best-of-seven series tied up at one win apiece. Bear in mind, the first to win four gets a shot at the WWE Title at Royal Rumble! Just like their previous matches, they both use their own strengths throughout. Rey uses kicks and high flying, while Benoit uses suplexes. Rey misses a clothesline, and Benoit takes control with a kick and a hard back suplex before slapping on the Crippler Crossface. Rey taps out for the second week in a row, and they shake hands, parting once more as friends. Benoit is now just two wins away from a WWE Title shot!

Our main event of the evening pits Kurt Angle and John Cena, who just two weeks ago did battle in a #1 contender match, against Brock Lesnar and Sean O'Haire. O'Haire and Lesnar dominate Cena early, but Angle hot tags in and hits a bulldog and a suplex before Lesnar tags in O'Haire. Cena tags in at the same time, and the rivals tie it up. O'Haire works Cena around behind the referee and hits a low blow! The ref notices only O'Haire rolling Cena up for the cheap victory! Cena and Angle chase the victors off, gaining a small measure of revenge.

Cena grabs the mic and says that he may not like Chavo Guerrero, but a good idea's a good idea. For three months, Sean O'Haire has been a pain in my ass, and enough is enough. At Armageddon, whoever draws First Blood gets the last laugh!
