WWE Smackdown! Results – 6/30/05
Anaheim, California
Start of the Show:
The music of Muhammad Hassan hits as he and Daivari make their way to the ring. After the music stops we can hear nothing but USA chants. Hassan speaks about the fourth of July and what people will be doing this weekend. Hassan says growing up as an Arab American he has a different idea of what we call Independence Day. He says he does not feel like a free man, he asks Daivari if he feels like a free man a few times and he screams NO! He says he feels like no free man, he feels like a prisoner in his own country! But it ends tonight! Because tonight, when he wins the five way elimination match and becomes Smackdown champion, he will be on top of the world looking down on all of us! He said last week he took down the 7 foot tall Big Show. He then says he is still undefeated, even though he lost to Benjamin. He then talks about his opponents, including the Taker. He says the Taker should not be in this match; the day of the dead man has come and gone. He says we are looking at a new icon; the great Muhammad Hassan!
The lights go down and the music of the Undertaker hits! The bells toll as the dead man makes his way to the ring! The Taker stops at the steel steps and makes the lights come on. Taker stands toe to toe with Hassan as Daivari bolts to the apron. Hassan says he is glad the Taker came out here. He says maybe the Taker is not like all of the other Americans. Hassan then tries to suck up to the Taker telling him he has had a great career and such. He says he has beaten all the greats, except for him, the great Muhammad Hassan. Taker slaps a choke on him but Daivari cracks Taker in the back with a steel chair but he does not budge! Taker grabs Daivari as Hassan books for it and then he chokeslams Daivari to the mat!

Will Eddie tell the Truth?
The music of Eddie Guerrero hits and he makes his way to the ring. He comes to the ring with a stone face. He climbs in the ring and views the crowd at Anaheim as they boo him. The music dies down and he asks if everybody saw the match he had last week with Rey Mysterio. The crowd cheers for Rey when he says he guesses everyone saw him lose then. He says everybody in here probably thinks he's a loser? he says the only loser in this is Rey Mysterio. He says he is a winner in life, he's overcome obstacles and situations that each and every person can only dream about. He says he did a little bit of soul searching; he took a journey, to find his barriers. He says he took a camera to document his journey. He says it is interesting and Mysterio will find it interesting too because it involves one of his family members.
The footage is of Eddie Guerrero shown in a playground. He says it is Rey's son's daycare center. His son is swinging on the swings as Eddie waves to him and tells him to go higher. He then gives him some candy and then tells him to go up and down the slide as fast as he can. They high five and he sits on his lap. He asks the kid if he loves him and he says he does and calls him Uncle Eddie. He asks if he likes bed time stories and the kid says he loves them. Eddie says he is going to tell him a bed time story he will never ever forget. They hug and the footage ends. Eddie is in the ring and he calls for Mysterio to come out to the ring. He asks if he should tell everybody their little secret. Mysterio comes to the ring with no music.
Mysterio gets in the ring and Eddie tells him to calm down. Eddie says Rey doesn't want him to go there? Doesn't want him to tell the truth? He asks if it is time for Dominic to know their little secret. Eddie screams for Rey to hit him. He shoves Rey to the ground and then screams for him to hit him. Eddie says nobody beats Eddie Guerrero; he always comes out on top, always wins, no matter how it happens! Eddie then tells Mysterio to beg him not to tell the truth. Mysterio gets on his knees and begs. Mysterio is begging as Eddie pulls out some candy and asks Rey if he wants some. He says it tastes good. He then chews some of it up, spits it into his hand and rubs it in Mysterio's face and says "CHEW ON THAT." Eddie drops the microphone and leaves the ring as Mysterio looks very upset.
