[2000-09-04-WWF-Raw] Eddy Guerrero vs Kurt Angle vs Chyna

[soup23]

Eddy attacks Kurt from behind and sends him into the ring. I have been kind of tough on Eddy but he has shown more fire in the past couple of weeks once he became involved in the main storyline. Eddy and Chyna work over Kurt teaming up on him. Eddy tries to bring in a chair but gets stopped by the referee. That allows Angle time to knock Chyna out with the IC belt. Eddy sends Kurt to the outside and checks on Mamacita. Eddy then is in a pinning position and inadvertently wins the IC title. Pretty clever way to get the belt on Eddy. ¾*

I have to credit Chyna for taking that insane bump to the outside from the corner and for throwing some nice clotheslines on Angle. Angle is also certifiable for taking that suplex over the ropes to the floor so soon after suffering a concussion. The match is standard fare and Angle knocks out Chyna making it possible for Guerrero to "accidentally" win the belt in a pretty well done finish.

‘The King’ seems rather disappointed that he’s not in this match as he can’t wait to get his hands on Chyna.  Oh dear...  Triple threat rules, but Eddy and Chyna immediately team up against Kurt.  Angle reverses the whip to the corner and Chyna takes this great backwards bump over the top rope and to the outside.  Release over head belly to belly on Eddy and Chyna is there in the nick of time to break up the pin.  They go back to working together hitting a double flapjack followed by a double suplex.  Eddy, ever the gent, even giving Chyna the honour of covering Kurt after that.  Angle ducks the double clothesline, lays out Chyna and charges at Eddy sending him tumbling to the floor.  He follows him outside where he jabs him in the ribs with a chair, however Chyna is able to come to her man’s rescue, saving him from a steel chair over the head.  A stiff lariat drops Kurt although he avoids another and dumps Chyma with a belly to back suplex.  In the meantime Eddy is trying to bring the chair into the ring to use but is being prevented from doing so by referee Jack Doan.  With the official preoccupied, Angle picks up the IC title belt and KO’s Chyna with it.  Eddy takes care of Kurt, crazily suplexing him over the top rope to the arena floor and with his ‘Mamacita’ still out cold, goes to check on her.  As he cuddles Chyna, her shoulders are at the same time down on the mat, so Doan counts the three and a new Intercontinental champion is crowned.  Eddy seems a bit reluctant to accept the belt at first but that quickly changes, helping Chyna to the dressing room while hiding the title behind his back and out of her view as he does so.

A quick backstage interview where Eddy explains to Chyna that he was just trying to protect her and doesn’t understand what happened.  He begs forgiveness and she seems to accept, although I don’t think it’ll be long for this relationship.

Eddy’s facials are so good with all the sly smirks and glances.  Glad that they’ve got the I-C belt away from Chyna and looking forward to watching the inevitable break up of her and Eddy, the latter who I imagine being all kind of smarmy and manipulative in doing so.  Two bonkers bumps from Chyna and Kurt in this one.
