Smackdown! Report | San Antonio, TX | April 8, 2004
By Sebastian Kumali
Clips of last week's show aired to start off the show. John Bradshaw Layfield
stepped in the ring to a chorus of boos to which he replied that this is "a sign of
southern ignorance" stating that the reason he moved to New York. Eddie Guerrero
committed a crime according to Layfield since his hat cost $1000. Bradshaw went on
to put down the fans insinuating that they're all poor and uneducated. Bradshaw
gave an audience member a chance to win a thousand dollars from him, lots of hands
appeared to go up. He then selected a fan wearing an Eddie Guerrero shirt.
Bradshaw created more heel heat as he told the fan that he must be used to crossing
borders with jumps like that. The fan was to shine the hood of his car in under a
minute in order to get the thousand dollars. When the fan almost finished, Bradshaw
squirted more wax on the hood so the fan would lose!

Charlie Haas and Kurt Angle are in the back office discussing the Great American
Award. Haas claims he's better than his former tag team partner Shelton Benjamin
and that he is the true all-American. Big Show comes in and intimidates Charlie.
Show explains that if anyone deserves the award it should be him. Show goes on to
say that they have a tag team match later tonight and Haas better have his back. As
Show leaves, Haas looks on sternly.
Commercial Break
Chavo Guerrero Jr., w/Chavo Guerrero Sr. vs Jamie Noble - Cruiserweight
Championship
Oooo Chavo! As Chavo's new entrance theme hits, Tony Chimel announces that this is
for the cruiserweight championship. Jamie Noble, now Nidia-less, applies a
hammerlock to the champion. Chavo escapes and poses for the audience who drowns him
in a chorus of boos. The men get into a shoving match with Chavo getting the better
of the exchange. He hits a hip toss on Chavo accompanied by a few slams. Noble
goes for a pin and gets a two count with Chavo Sr. there to grab Noble's leg. Chavo
Jr. comes charging only to get tossed to the outside. Noble catapults through the
top and middle rope hitting Chavo. Chavo Sr. creates a distraction as Chavo Jr.
gets back in the ring and slides into Jamie with a dropkick. When Noble gets back
in, Chavo tries to hit a gory buster but Noble counters into a neckbreaker then hits
a legdrop from the second rope. Noble sets Chavo up for the tiger driver but Chavo
gets out and rolls Noble up for the three count, thanks to holding the ropes.
Winner - Chavo Guerrero Jr.
"This is yo' boy, Theodore R. Long." Teddy approaches the trio of Shannon Moore,
Orlando Jordan, and Spike Dudley in the back area. He slips Orlando Jordan a
playa's card because of his physique. He slips Shannon Moore a playa's card for his
pretty boy looks. Spike Dudley is not offered one because Teddy is "looking for
someone who's the opposite" of him. Spike interrupts and challenges him to a match.
Teddy says he doesn't get his hands and close dirty because he's simply a business
man. Spike calls him out again and Teddy accepts the challenge.
