TAMPA, Fla. – Dec. 17, 2002 – After watching the SmackDown! taping tonight, it seemed hard to believe that many of the Superstars on the show are only starting to get over a major case of food poisoning.
Chris Benoit wrestled Kurt Angle in the main event tonight. Eddie and Chavo Guerrero were also major parts of the taping. All of them seemed like they were 100 percent healthy.
But last night, both Guerreros, Benoit, Dawn Marie, about a half-dozen other SmackDown! Superstars, as well as all of the SmackDown! referees, were dealing with stomach pain. And some of them, as one Superstar put it, were “puking our guts out.”
“I thought I had the flu,” said referee Mike Sparks. “Then I heard that other guys on the SmackDown! crew were sick. There was some talk that the only isolation we had – the only time we were all together – was on the charter plane (late Saturday night) from Jacksonville to Ft. Lauderdale. We all had the same food.”
The prevailing theory around the locker room today is that the turkey sandwiches that were served on that flight were contaminated. That’s because Superstars who weren’t on that flight, like Edge, were not sick. And neither were Superstars who were on the flight but didn’t eat.
“Shannon Moore and Chuck Palumbo (who were on the flight) didn’t have the sandwiches, and they didn’t get sick,” Chavo Guerrero said.
The symptoms started kicking in early Monday morning, after Armageddon. So many SmackDown! Superstars were struggling, to say the least, at a non-televised event Monday night in Sarasota, Fla. Sparks, Eddie and Chavo Guerrero had the worst symptoms, and they were given the night off.
“I couldn’t work,” Sparks said. “I was stuck on the bus all day.”
Today, Sparks said, he is “not 100 percent, but I’m coming back around.”
Chavo, who wrestled on Velocity and accompanied Eddie to the ring for his match on SmackDown! tonight, said he was also feeling better.
He joked, “One good thing about it was that, after I was done (throwing up), I basically had nothing left in my system, and I looked in the mirror, and my abs looked pretty good.’

Heh! I had no idea about that...
Heaven only knows what RAW would have been like had they all been struck with food poisioning! HLA for two hours! Gah, the horrible thoughts.
This certainly explains the lack of wrestling on Smackdown this week.
Typical Chavo. :D He rules.
