Scott's Smackdown Review 5/30/02

Smackdown, 5/30/02
Pengrowth Saddledome; Calgary, AB

Rico & Rikishi vs. Billy & Chuck, Tag Team Championship (Rico was forced to tag with Rikishi at Judgment Day for the titles and they won)
Backstage: Maven chatting with Torrie Wilson while Tajiri is skulking around
Hulk Hogan has arrived at the arena
Maven vs. Christian
Backstage: Dawn Marie debuts and Vince instantly gets lecherous with her until Chris Jericho interrupts (Watching Vince be gross and lecherous around women like Dawn Marie & Stacy speaks volumes in 2023)
Chris Jericho vs. Faarooq
Backstage: Reverend D-Von with Lance Storm
Hulk Hogan interview
Vince McMahon interrupts, and Hogan is blindsided by Kurt Angle
Undertaker vs. Randy Orton, WWE Undisputed Championship (The first of what became MANY of these matches in the following years; I wonder why even on TV they'd give a rookie a world title shot, wonder if it was a rib)
Triple H comes down after the match and he and Taker brawl
Billy Kidman & The Hurricane vs. Chavo Guerrero & Tajiri
During the match a ripped picture of Hurricane and a mysterious female hand on his shoulder comes up and he gets distracted, and loses the match
Triple H vs. Test (Three years later Test gets his win back)
Lance Storm comes down to interfere and after the match Taker comes down and attacks HHH with a chair
Backstage: Val Venis & Test
Kurt Angle interview
Edge vs. Kurt Angle (This is a tremendous match to end their feud, an inkling of what was to come with the Smackdown Six); Meltzer gave it 4.25...I agree

FINAL ANALYSIS: Fun show, lots of Taker/HHH build to KOTR, and the Hogan/Angle feud seems very fitting for them. Solid episode.
