Val Venis 3rd Theme
On the February 10, 2000 episode of SmackDown!, he dropped the European title to Kurt Angle, ending his two month reign.
At King of the Ring 2000, he participated in the King of the Ring tournament where he was defeated by Rikishi in the semi-finals.This culminated in a feud between Venis and Rikishi which lead to Venis turning heel by aligning himself with Trish Stratus. With Stratus as his manager, and a new look - including a haircut, white boots and trunks - and the near total disposal of the porn star gimmick, he defeated Rikishi to win his second WWF Intercontinental Championship,and aligned himself with Test and Albert.
They continued their rivalry as Venis defended the title in a rematch at Fully Loaded 2000. During the match, Venis was put over by taking a splash from Rikishi from the top of a 15-foot high steel cage and still going on to defeat Rikishi later in the match to retain the title.Val’s manager, Stratus, inadvertently lost Venis’ Intercontinental title to Chyna in a mixed tag team match involving Venis, Stratus, Chyna and her partner Eddie Guerrero at SummerSlam 2000
