[2001-02-19-WWF-Raw] X-Pac vs Eddy Guerrero

[GSR]

To make sure there is no outside interference Mr McMahon has appointed Chris Jericho as the special guest referee in this match as two of his rivals for the IC title go head to head.  Y2J has a few words with his old pal “Mitchell Cole” which was just away of plugging this “He Hate Me” chap from the XFL, Jericho wearing a shirt with his name on to officiate this.

Both wrestlers have words with Y2J on their arrival, presumably telling him not to screw them over.  Pac with the first pin attempt of the match and Jericho’s count is lightning fast.  It’s a different matter altogether when Eddy makes a cover, Y2J checking all the angles, making sure both shoulders are down, dragging it out as much as he can to allow X-Pac to kick out.  Looks like Pac is the lesser of two evils for him.  Abdominal stretch by Eddy who is grabbing his opponent’s hair at the same time.  He does break when Jericho tells him, only to immediately grab it again.  This happens a second time forcing Y2J to physically pull him off.  They get into a shoving match and Eddy is still arguing with him as he heads upstairs.  The distraction allows Pac to catch him with a dropkick causing him to lose his balance.  Superplex.  Pac with a bronco buster, he too though feels the hands of the official as he continues to ride is opponent long after Jericho has told him to break.  Eddy gets suplexed over the top rope to the outside and Pac is being restrained from going after him as Y2J tries to do his job.  He ends up slapping Jericho across the back of the head, who responds in kind.  Justin Credible is out to help X-Pac, Jericho does beat him to the punch but is quickly outnumbered.  Eddy returns to the ring and makes a beeline for Pac, Jim Ross noting that he’s not coming to the defence of Y2J, he just wants to get his hands on X-Pac.  That is evident after they clear the ring of the two, Eddy and Jericho then going at it themselves.  It looks like the IC champ came out of this all unscathed when he hits a Lionsault on Eddy, however as he makes his way back up the ramp he’s jumped by Chris Benoit who DDT’s him on the steel.  ‘The King’ thinks he’s pissed off the wrong men here and Y2J is going to have to find himself some allies fast if this three way feud with him, Eddy and Pac is continuing.
