DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 Didn't see these posted yet, found them on the Torch's website: VELOCITY (1) Vito (w/ Nunzio) won a squash. (2) MNM won a squash. (3) Mr. Kennedy deafeated Austin's own Russell Simpson. (4) Juventud Guerrera won a Cruiserweight Battle Royal for a match at No Mercy: Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Funaki vs. Brian Kendrick vs. (Austin's own) Paul London vs. The Mexocools. Nunzio also came to ringside with Vito. This was a great match well worth checking out on the their website. It came down to Spanky, London, and Juvi. Juvi took care of Kendrick who took a pretty sweet bump in the process. Juvi finally threw Paul London over the top rope. Pretty good pop for Juvi, but I was pulling for London. This was a good, fast-paced match well worth checking out. SMACKDOWN TAPING (1) Booker T defeated Orlando Jordan. (2) LOD defeated Paul Birchall & William Regal. (3) Hardcore Holly defeated Sylvain Grenier. (4) Bobby Lashley won another squash. (5) Rowdy Roddy Piper deaeated Bob Orton Jr. & Randy Orton with a roll up. Pretty good match. (6) Chris Benoit & Batista & Rey Mysterio beat JBL & Christian & Eddie Guerrero i the belated Homecoming match. BONUS DARK MATCH (1) Undertaker defeated Randy Orton (w/Bob Orton) via Tombstome Undertaker is just the site to see live. It is electric. This was awesome. BIGGEST POPS Batista (huge) Undertaker Rey Rey London MOST HEEL HEAT JBL (by far) Ortons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfxion 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 The match was meant for RAW but the fact they gave Austin and McMahon 25 mins to do 5 mins worth of stuff is what caused that match to get shitcanned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest I miss Test. Report post Posted October 5, 2005 That's nice. Now, the cruiserweight title storyline, and the decent wrestling portion of this program, isn't even on TV. Why even have the CW title anymore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aero 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 So, does anyone actually know who are supposed to faces and heels in the Cruiserweight division anymore? I think Nunzio is heel after cheating to win the title from London way back when. I don't think London is doing the whining gimmick anymore, and apparently he teamed with Spanky on the last Velocity. And I don't have a clue what the Mexicools are supposed to be. Last time they were on Smackdown, I think they were still doing the randomly beat someone up thing (Christian... a heel). Obviously, the given faces are Scotty, Funaki, and I assume Spanky, but lack of TV exposure (Thursdays at least) really makes everyone's roles confusing.

Slickster 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 1. Why wasn't the Cruiserweight Battle Royal on SmackDown! instead? 2. How dare they job Burchill/Regal to Nostalia Lite? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. Because they needed a hook for people to watch Velocity (since they seem to pitch that show to smarks anyway). 2. According to another set of spoilers, it was a no-contest due to an MNM run-in. 10/05/2005 - Thanks to Richard & Rajah for the following: Change of ring, out come Tazz and Cole to a huge pop and here it is… Smackdown has back to the Erwin Center! Teddy Long and the Network Guy come out to proclaim Monday’s invasion of Raw a huge success, and that it will happen again. Suddenly, the Orton clan interrupt and point out that they were the first ones to invade Raw, not Long. They demand the ring to themselves and show footage of Piper and Foley getting RKO’d. Cue the pipes… it’s Piper, with a lead pipe, clearing house and… saying nothing. Odd. Booker T (w/Sharmel) def. Orlando Jordan. Seems somebody is actually remembering what valets are supposed to do, as Sharmel really pumped up the crowd for Booker. And, on another note, those pyros are hot. I was the far side of the cameras and still felt them from there. JBL cuts a promo from the lobby, then walks down through the crowd, beating up a Rey Mysterio teddy bear and accusing the Hispanic population of Texas of turning it into North Mexico. He then said that UT would loose the Red River shootout this weekend (note to Mack Brown – give Sam a shot). Now that got heat. Video promo for Orton/Taker at No Mercy and then it’s Ken Kennedy AGAIN. They must really like this guy. Anyway, he’s guest commentator for our next match, in which Sylvan unconvincingly beat Bob Holly after a mike-shot from Kennedy, thus setting up Kennedy/Holly at No Mercy. Let’s see of Kennedy can really hang, shall we? Now it’s backstage, where someone remembers that Rowdy Roddy Piper is best with a mike. A great promo cut on Cowboy Bob, confirming the Ortons versus Piper for later tonight. Video for Raw, video for No Mercy and it’s back to the wrestling. Road Warriors and Burchill/Regal fight to a No Contest after a run-in by MnM. Seems that one of the most promising tag teams in years, Burchill and Regal, has become fodder for other people’s feuds. OK, serious note, Paul Burchill is being kept in a holding pattern. This guy is one of the best British talents in years, up there with former NOAH tag champ Doug Williams. When the WWE finally lets him bust out the C-4 Hotwired, his double exploder suplex, you will be shocked, trust me. And backstage again, with Eddie saying he has Batista’s back and it’s all cuddly. Meanwhile, back in the ring, the guy with the t-shirt cannon makes ten people very happy. Aaaaaaaaaand back to the ring. It’s Eddie again, saying he has Batista’s back. The place then explodes because The Animal is here. Batista (remember when people said he couldn’t do promos?) accuses Eddie of levelling him with a chair last week – Eddie is hurt and outraged by the accusation, so Batista sets him a test. In a great moment, he hands Eddie a chair and stands with his back to him. Great theatre. Eddie resists the temptation, but Batista leaves him with no doubt – stab me in the back and I will hurt you. Video promo for Rey and JBL this Sunday, video shilling Viva Las Divas (are they still all even working for the WWE on that disc?), Raw rebound (the return of Trips, and Austin stunning everyone. Hey, kids, how horrible will Austin/Hogan be?). Finally, back to the ring. Orton and Orton (sounds like tax attorneys) take on Rowdy Roddy Piper… and lose! Piper gets the pin after Orton jr high-tails it when he hears the teased tolling of Undertaker’s bell. Yes, takers’ dong is scarier than Roddy Piper. At this point, Orton and Orton are confronted with half a dozen druids, pulling a casket. Via video, ‘Taker tells them to look in the casket – they do, and see mannequins of themselves. Like the one of Taker from three weeks ago, very lifelike – their fake corpse supplier is a genius. During their ‘fish out of water’ moment, the Orton’s fail to notice that Taker has appeared out of nowhere. He clears house and stares them down. Next up, it’s the weekly ‘jobber on Smackdown’ moment as Bobby Lashley creams Eddie Craven while Simon Dean does squats. Very odd. Lashley is a monster and will go far. The pop for the rookie is already huge. A round-up of the No Mercy matches, and it’s our main event: the postponed 6-man tag team bout from Raw. JBL, Eddie and Christian vs Benoit, Batista and Rey. Yup, three No Mercy matches in one night. Batista finally gets the pin on Christian after a bone-jarring spine buster and an excellent match (although JBL should never stand near Dave – it really shows how flabby he’s got). They continued to tease Eddie’s weird face turn as he is the one who actually turns the match for the faces by putting JBL over the top rope, leaving Christian unprotected. He then stays around to hug Rey, shake Benoit’s hand and raise Batista’s arm. He then gets jumped by JBL and Christian, leaving Batista to make the save. That’s it, everyone, except for the unannounced (so many people had left, it wasn’t funny) Orton vs ‘Taker dark match. It’s easy to forget, but Taker is huge, still very good in-ring and had tremendous charisma. He takes the pin after tombstoning both men, and it’s time for home. Sidebar: did this week’s invasion of Raw not happen? Teddy and Eddie mention it, but there are no ramifications from Homecoming whatsoever. No invasion, no Matt Hardy, no McMahon, no nothing. Very bizarre. Apart from that, all very good. Top Pop Batista Taker Benoit (the man is a warrior in the ring and a general out –he did more to run the crowd than anyone else. He needs a title shot against Batista and soon)T-shirt guy (sorry, folks) Rey Top Heat JBL Eddie The Ortons MnM (although Melina off-sets a lot of that by doing the splits) Simon Dean (for just not being very interesting) Top indefinable reactions for those that people were just glad to see Christian.

geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 I am glad Piper beat both Ortons. Piper is an absolute legend, and should not be used to put someone over unless it actually means something. Jobbing on a shit smackdown to someone who has flopped after a mega-push would be stupid. Don't get me wrong, Piper should not even be wrestling, but if you have him wrestle, make it actually mean something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 one of Orton's main character points is being "The Legend Killer"...he needs to kill legends to keep that name and lately he has not been doing that...in order to make him strong, he needs to polish off UT, beat Piper, turn on his dad and beat someone meaningful (i.e. Batista)...

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 But...but...HE SUCKS! Sure, Piper's a legend, but he also looks like he struggles to walk, let alone wrestle anymore. Someone going over him doesn't mean shit any more. He has no rub to give. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 I know Piper sucks, but if "Legend Killer" is Orton's schtick, there's not too many legends for him to kill that can top Piper (legends that can still perform...to a degree, anyway)...I would say the ultimate rub would be Hogan jobbing to Orton at a huge interbrand PPV, but we know that'll never happen...

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2005 Orton's been pretty good this year. "No he hasn't, he sucks, push RVD, he's awesome coz he flips around n' stuff and he's cool has this thumb taunt which is SOOO over." It doesn't matter what Orton does, people's minds are unfortunately made up. I agree, he's been good this year, but people can't be impartial and praise him when he does well.
