[2000-06-08-WWF-Smackdown] Edge & Christian & Kurt Angle vs D-Von & Bubba Ray Dudley (Handicap)

[soup23]

In ring we have seen that Angle was short and sweet but man is his promos on point and him with E&C just works from an entertainment standpoint. Them running down the Bills and name dropping OJ is their best gag since Judgment Day. The match literally goes two minutes and ends with Christian eating a 3D for the pin. Nice win for the Dudley Boyz. ½*

Match was pretty much nothing although the finish was smartly done and kept the heel team strong even losing with the odds. It's the pre-match that was so great. Edge and Christian and Angle and their idea of comedy in the current day don't interest me that much so it's refreshing to see this old stuff of theirs holding up so well. They milk these poses for all they're worth and this one with the Scott Norwood jersey is an all-timer.

Angle, aggrieved over what happened on Monday, would like to talk a bit about sportsmanship tonight. He says that when you lose, the right thing to do is offer a congratulatory handshake to the victor or vow to do better next time. What you don’t do is put Olympic heroes through tables! There are thousands of distraught children who will probably fail their finals this week after what the Dudleys did to their Olympic hero last Monday night on Raw. Not to mention that his good friends lost their tag team titles after Christian was hit in the genitals with a hockey stick by a midget! What he’s trying to say is that the world is full of sore losers! Talking of sore losers, Christian thinks that it is fitting they’re in Buffalo, NY, the city of sore losers. Tonight though they will unveil a special new pose in honour of them. Kurt puts on a Scott Norwood football jersey, and the pose is of Norwood missing a field goal kick in the Superbowl. Needless to say that doesn’t go down well with the crowd. The match itself goes less than two minutes, so there’s not much in the way of action. The Dudleys go for the ‘wassup’ spot on Kurt, when Christian is around and crotches D-Von on the top turnbuckle. Edge throws Bubba to the outside and the two of them hit a stacked up superplex on D-Von. Christian makes the cover, however the official is distracted by Angle and Bubba who’re now going at it on the arena floor. As Edge grabs at Bubba, he pulls him under the rope to the outside, only for Edge to then accidentally spear Kurt when Bubba moves out the way. 3-D on Christian and that’s all she wrote.

The Angle promo here is tremendous. My wife is from Buffalo, so i can understand why that pose was high level cheap heat. Maybe as cheap but as effective as you can get.

 

Match is really nothing, but it doesn't hurt anyone here and just puts over 3D (still a killer move all these years later).
