Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Here at the Smackdown spoilers for the show that will air on 1/16. The show opens with a Dawn Marie/Al Wilson package. Smackdown starts and Pyro opens the show. Los Guerreros d. John Cena & B2. After the match, Redd Dogg & John Cena attack B2 for causing the loss. Eddie appeared to be injured after the match as it took him about 5 minutes to get up, with the assistance of Chavo and the ref crew. Team Angle/Benoit video package. Stephanie takes the ramp and announces The Phenom's (Undertaker) return this Sunday at the Rumble. Dawn Marie did a promo on Al Wilson. She says tonight she will respect his wishes and present the public viewing of his body. Nathan Jones promo of him in a jail cell talking to himself. Bill DeMott d. Rikishi Funaki promo with Billy Kidman making fun of Matt Hardy and Shannon Moore. Matt and Shannon enter for the promo. They all then brawl, setting up the match for later tonight. Nunzio, Knoble and Nidia promo. They make some great jokes on NJ. Then say the horrible stench that resides around Jersey comes from the women who live here. Nunzio d. Tajiri. Knoble got a stiff kick for his attempted interference and Nidia a face full of green mist. Undertaker promo. But this week it showed the American Bad Ass. Clips and said that the Bad Ass returns at the Royal Rumble, not the Dead Man. (Note from Scherer: From what I was told, it will indeed be the Bad Ass character that Undertaker plays when he returns. As for why they did the promo for his old character? Like the old Bud commercial said, "Why ask why?" Dawn Marie was shown at a funeral home, then walking up to a casket. She cries on the funeral home employee's shoulder and convinces him to give her a few minutes alone. She then opens Al's casket and weeps. Promo ends with her kissing his corpse. We then head to a Stephanie McMahon and Brock Lesnar promo. She announces a match for later, which is A-Train & Big Show vs. Brock and his choice of partner. Paul Heyman enters the ring with Show and A-Train. Rumble talk ensues. Heyman mentions the number of his clients in this Sunday's Royal Rumble. Rey Mysterio returns as Lesnar's partner. Brock gives Albert an F5. Rey does the 619 for the victory. Brock Lesnar & Rey Mysterio d. Big Show and A-Train. Yet another funeral home segment that accomplishes nothing aired next. Matt Hardy d. Funaki. After the match, Matt smacks Shannon Moore. Shannon and Billy tried some run-ins during the match. Torrie is shown entering the funeral home. Next was another Nathan Jones promo. Team Angle did a promo dissing Jersey, saying the women are from the zoo and the men are overweight. Angle then says as a gold medalist he represents all 50 states, except for Jersey. Funny stuff. Thank God I'm from NYC lol. Team Angle (Kurt Angle, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin) vs. Edge & Chris Benoit went to a DQ due to Benoit not letting go of the crossface on the illegal man. Benoit attacks Angle after the match. Brock Lesnar then comes down and destroys Team Angle with an F5 to Charlie, and then Shelton. Benoit throws Angle into the ring to receive an F5 from Lesnar. A headbutt from Benoit follows. Show Over. After the last match, Team Angle cut a promo ragging on Benoit, Edge and the NY Jets. Then there was a Dawn Marie and Torrie Wilson promo in the funeral home, with them arguing over the death of Al. Dawn slaps Torrie, then a catfight ensues and The casket is accidentally knocked over. While Torrie weeps she is attacked by Dawn with a lamp. Overall it was a pretty disappointing show, with a very dead crowd for the majority of the show. --------------------- Taker returns as the Badass... WWE, such a tease. So much for the A-Train I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking forward to seeing the Deadman come back.....FUCK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Wow, this sucks. They should of saved Mysterio's return for the Rumble as well. Good job WWE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bravesfan Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Very nice to see Mysterio back. Wow, this sucks. They should of saved Mysterio's return for the Rumble as well. Good job WWE! That would overshadow several "BIG" returns, though. A month-long injury takes the focus away from the Undertakers, Rhynos, Austins and Kanyons. Plus, this does hype for the Rumble, so people will KNOW that Mysterio is confirmed for the Rumble match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yuna_Firerose 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Dawn Marie did a promo on Al Wilson. She says tonight she will respect his wishes and present the public viewing of his body. Note to self: Never drink anything when reading SD spoilers because you never know when you'll read something dumb. Redd Dogg & John Cena attack B2 That makes absolutely no sense to me... Eddie appeared to be injured after the match So we (might) lose Eddy due to an injury.....but get Rey back from his injury? I'm still debating on if that's a good trade-off or not. Matt smacks Shannon Moore. Where is this going? I would say a feud, but Shanny keeps going back to his boyfri--err, "leader". Overall it looks like a good show with many moments for my current tape.

Guest Human Fly Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Hopefully this Al Wilson mess will be over soon. Also, why turn B-2 face? Who cares? He's basically been Cena's manager so they team together in one match, and then Cena turns on him out of nowhere. Again, who cares? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted January 13, 2003 I thought Al was in a coma? Geez, make up your minds dumbass writing teams. Bikertaker returning = sucks. More of the ANGLE THAT WON'T DIE! = sucks. A-Train on SD again = sucks. Demott vs Rikishi = sucks, sucks, sucks. Nunzio vs. Tajiri should be good. Ditto for Matt vs. Funaki Rey Mysterio's return, and apparently blowing off the A-Train program = WHOO!! Team Angle (Kurt Angle, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin) vs. Edge & Chris Benoit = KICK ASS!! Man, mixed bag we have this time, but at least it isn't a solid lump of crap like last Raw was.

Guest Gimmick Poster.com Report post Posted January 13, 2003 I can't wait for the part of the angle when Big Bossman and HHH are revealed as "the masterminds" of this angle. See, HHH hired Dawn to marry, then kill Al by means of sex so he could have another corpse to satisfy his new found Necro fetish. Big Bossman will be used to transport the corpse of Al to HHH's luxurious Greenwich spread. But Torrie will jump on the casket while HHH is humping Al's dead body and it will end with Bossman laughing as he drives off, sirens a-blazing. And that my friends is when the WWE come sfull circle.

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted January 13, 2003 GP.com: Hehehe--I was the first to call it, I believe. Torrie riding her daddy's casket = ratings. I also can't wait to hear Bossman's new poem. As crappy as it was, that angle was comedy gold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest midnight_burn Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Next week on SmackDown! Dawn shows footage of her having sex with Al's corpse! Tune in for the return of necrophilia! And i figured it would be the 'Bad Ass' Taker returning instead of the Phenom, just another case of the WWE getting people's hopes up, then not delivering.

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Redd Dogg & John Cena attack B2 I could live with that...if Redd Dogg didn't completly suck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted January 13, 2003 I really hope they change their mind--slap a wig on Taker, dig out the old threads, and send him out there. It'd be kick ass. But noooo!! Time for the street-fightin', tobacco-chawing, bandanna-wearin', bike-ridin', jibba-jabba talkin' American boreass. Blah--I hope Maven kicks him out of the ring again.

Guest Gimmick Poster.com Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Next week on SmackDown! Dawn shows footage of her having sex with Al's corpse! Tune in for the return of necrophilia! But the question is this, will Dawn be dressed up like HHH or Kane while she's humping the corpse? Or will she be dressed up like HHH dressed up like Kane or vice versa? Sigh, even corpses are getting more action than me. *Dies....is no longer a virgin* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest teke184 Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Well, it appears, as usual, that the people booking the promotion are the suckiest bunch of sucks to ever suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuna_Firerose 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2003 *agrees with AndrewTS* First he loses the mullet (which had marks and smarks alike mourning) and now he might be injured?!? Hold on... isn't he still the Tag Champ with Chavo? If Eddy is injured...what happens to that????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hold on... isn't he still the Tag Champ with Chavo? If Eddy is injured...what happens to that????? I know--that's the biggest suck out of all of the sucks on the sucky Suckdown. If either B-2 or Cena are responsible, suckas are gonna pay!! Hopefully it's just an "injury angle" though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Will Scarlet Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Sounds pretty crappy to me. Breaking up B-2 and Cena? Why? I was digging them as a group. I am going to miss Al Wilson. Now this angle will just get bad. Other than that, I am glad Rey has returned, and Funaki and Tajiri being on Smackdown is always a treat. Other than that, I see nothing of interest.

As crappy as it was, that angle was comedy gold. Let's not take the credit away from me, either. I did have this joke too! As can be seen here: You Know What's Sad?

Guest Mole Report post Posted January 13, 2003 Probably random people that way people will be suprised when they order the show. Taker isn't going to be the ol Taker. That sucks, and I am mad. I hate him with a passion, but I still would like him to come back as ol' Taker. And why was Smackdown tapped this weekend? Does anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Human Fly Report post Posted January 13, 2003 When did not announcing matches (or in this case rumble participants) for a PPV until the night of become good business? Wouldn't they want to get people interested? I'm thinking that they teased the Undertaker return to the Dead Man gimmick to see how it would go over before they were stuck doing it.

Al / Dawn About 3/4ths down the page. Right, and we know how WWE loves to repeat old angles. I wonder if we'll see the "dead" Al Wilson twitch, or wiggle his nose, or something. Or maybe they'll do a shot where we can't see him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
