Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted January 29, 2003 I was there live...no matches of note... Nathan Jones wrestled Kanyon in a dark match that started hot, but Jones inabilities put the crowd to sleep And Hogan made no appearence which ticked off a fair amount of people Rock gave a interview from Hollywood...and the crowd cheered him (He was booed when shown on the WWE History Video earlier in the night) Any one want to know anything else....Please ASK me!! Jones didn't injure Kanyon did he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DeputyHawk Report post Posted January 29, 2003 i got no problem with spanky in a role like this for the time being. if anyone can make it work, he can, and like someone else already said the association with heyman can only be a good thing. anyone seeing a six-man tag at no way out with team angle vs. brock, edge & benoit (angle getting the pin over brock going into mania). with rock-hogan, hhh-steiner, and austin's return scheduled, there's no need to throw out a meaningless angle title defense when everyone knows the wm main event is set in stone anyway. i think a six-man tag would be pretty swish.

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted January 29, 2003 anyone seeing a six-man tag at no way out with team angle vs. brock, edge & benoit (angle getting the pin over brock going into mania). Yes, I do. I thought perhaps Rey would team with Edge and Benoit but he's pretty much back to glorified jobberhood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted January 29, 2003 I'm seeing more of a Big Show/Albert/Angle/Haas/Benjamin vs. Benoit/Lesnar/Taker/Rey/Edge thing going on. Over the next few weeks they will build up tension between Brock and Taker, but have them resolve their differences to fight the common enemy. Have a bunch of (multi man) tags leading up to it and have everything brought together in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RedJed Report post Posted January 29, 2003 I think they would have been way better off if Rock would have done a run-in on this show and would have just immediately turned heel. But of course we get the lamest option possible, and most predictable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tank_abbott Report post Posted January 29, 2003 No Jones didn't injure Kanyon...but I felt sorry for him nonetheless Watch for kanyon's Burial now that he couldn't drag Jones to a watchable match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted January 29, 2003 Interesting looking show. One thing that I'm REALLY happy about--it looks like Matt Hardy is Kidman's next feud buddy, and I have a feeling that he's going to win the CW title. If there's any character right now who can instantly bring legitimacy to the CW division, it's Matt Hardy, who's been hanging with heavyweights and has got one of the best characters, PLUS a cruiserweight flunky to boot. I reserve no long-standing hope for great cruiser matches, but with the WWE proudly putting one of its own guys in the position as champ...looks good.

Guest tank_abbott Report post Posted January 29, 2003 Oh yeah---I forgot to mention, there was a Got Milk sign directed at Nathan Jones. I thought you might find that mildly amusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted January 29, 2003 Why does everyone want Hardy/Kidman feud? I wouldn't mind seeing the match, but for the CW Title? Drop the whole CW belt since it's useless and WWE refuses to make worst a damn, and bring back the IC Title. Matt Hardy deserves to be higher up then a WWE CW Champ. This SD looks weak. I tried to look for a more indept Report, but nothing yet. Hmmm, Lets see here. Rey Returns, Beats Albert in 40 Seconds. Week After, Rey puts on a Mighty Damn Good match with Kurt Angle. Following, Rey gets Jobbed to Albert. ::Shakes Head:: The Raw HHHorsemen have me more Interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Goodear Report post Posted January 29, 2003 This A-Train is totally unexplainable. One week he is on Velocity, the next he is beating Rey, the next month he is jobbed out in bitch like fashion to Lesnar and Edge, and now he's beating Rey again. Vince must have just seen the size difference and had his head explode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted January 29, 2003 Second, More Detailed Smackdown Spoilers Report Thanks to 411 reader Ugly Bulldog for sending this report: Ugly Bulldog here. Just got back from the SmackDown tapings in Green Bay. Thought I would throw in my two cents about the show and entertain you with my wit. -DARK MATCHES -Funaki d. Chad Colleyer(?). Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my "Funaki Fears English" sign. Funaki got a big pop. I didn't really hear what the jobber's name was. I was trying to obtain my seat from some retard who had no idea where he was. Anyway, Funaki got the win with a reverse tornado DDT. -Nathan Jones video. -Nathan Jones d. Kanyon. Great to see Kanyon back, even though he walks like a drunk. Great crowd reaction for the Australian convict. Jones was solid, but not spectacular. He seems hesistant in the ring and walks around like a snail with arthritis. But there's no denying that he has "the look". Kanyon bumped his ass off, despite the limitations of Jones's arsenal. Jones won with a full nelson slam. -VELOCITY TAPINGS Josh Matthews and Ernest Miller are the hosts. Well good for them. -Jamie Noble (w/ Nidia) d. Jobber in Gay Lime Green Tights. I don't remember too much about this match. Noble won and made out with Nidia for an extended amount of time. -Red Dogg d. Chavo Guerrero. Nothing special. Red Dogg took the match. Afterwards, Chavo locked on the STF. Cena comes down to save his Dogg, but Eddie makes the save for Chavo. -Torrie Wilson d. Dawn Marie. Torrie graced everyone with her big gazoombas and lovely Titantron video where she pulls her pants down. I love that. Torrie was pretty over. Match was your typical women's match. Torrie couldn't finish off Dawn with her dreaded swinging neckbreaker, but did win the pinfall with a DDT. -Nunzio d. Chuck Palumbo. Interesting clash of styles here. Nunzio worked the legs with kamikaze dropkicks, while Chuck countered with power moves. In the end, Nunzio upset Chuck with a roll-up for the 1-2-3. Post-match, Chuck looked at Nunzio and shaked his head in disbelief. Nunzio looked more confused than a baby in a strip club. I would too if Chuck was eyeing at me oddly. -SMACKDOWN! Tazz and Michael Cole come down. Every five minutes, someone had to chant out "Michael Cole sucks". Then someone yelled "Bring back Tony Schiavone". Utter silence ensued. Highlights of last week's confrontation between Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon. -Grudge Match: The Mutated Chia Pet Known as A-Train d. Rey Mysterio. Who the hell booked this crap? Lots of "shave you back" chants, as that seems to be the only type of heat Albert will ever get. Rey kicks out of a Baldo Bomb. Later, Mysterio sets up for the 619, only for Ape-Train to catch him and hit the Train Wreck for the unfortunate pinfall. Apparently, A-Train's push continues. Josh Matthews interviews Paul Heyman. Heyman says that he gave the Big Show the night off. What could Big Show possibly do with a night off? -Eddie Guerrero (w/ Chavo) d. John Cena (w/ Red Dogg). Los Guerreros have new shirts that say "Cheat 2 Win". Cena spews out a SWEET rap, degrading Mexicans, crapping tacos and the Packers. The Packers slam got him MEGA-HUGE cheap heat. I don't care what anyone else says. This gimmick is perfect for Cena. And I hear Mick Foley likes it, so there you go. Eddie collects the win with a frogsplash for the pin. Paul Heyman is on a cell with someone, when he meets up with Brian Kendrick (Spanky). Heyman talks about how he was trained by Shawn Michaels and Heyman offers him a chance to break into the big time. Steph (in black clothes) meets up with Vince in the SmackDown office. Is it just me, or does it seem that every week, Steph wears black clothing to cover up how fat she really is? Vince questions why she brought in Hogan. Steph counters by saying she had no idea what the Hulkster would do. They talk about Bischoff inviting Stone Cold back. The skit then gets absurd with Steph asserting herself by letting us know how aggressive she is in everything she does. She also leans over the table to let her daddy see her cleavage, which was very wrong. -Mankid d. Shannon Moore (w/ Matt Hardy) Matt gets a big welcome, while Kidman gets zero pops. Decent match. Ended when Kidman kicked away Matt and hit the shooting star press for the pin. Afterwards, Matt attacks Kidman and sends Shannon to the back. Matt connects two Twist of Fates on Kidman while the crowd shouts "Hardy Sucks". X-Pac Sucks chant breaks out. Odd, but satisfying. Vince comes out. The crowd has a big chant going for Hogan. Vince says we don't know Hulk, and he does. Hulk is a bad business man. Vince wants to kill Hulkamania. He's insulted by Hogan's sucker punch from last week. Crowd still yapping for Hogan. Mr. McMahon says Hogan can't demand a match. Therefore, Vince drops his "big bombshell". At No Way Out, it will be Hollywood Hulk Hogan in one corner against The Rock in the opposite corner. Well, holy-cook-a-racha. Didn't see that one coming. Vince leaves up the ramp...but wait. He has something else for us. "Finally, The Rock (and his bald head) has come BACK to Green Bay"..."live via satellite" from Hollywood. Not one of those again. Rock says he's glad he's not in Green Bay because it's too cold. Whatever. It was a balmy 3 degrees at noon today. I have no idea what he's talking about. The Rock doesn't answer to Vince McMahon, he answers to....(dramatic pause) the People. Because the People feed off The Rock's electricity. Maybe I'm off base, but that sounds a little hazardous. At No Way Out, The Rock will face Hollywood Hulk Hogan and kick his candyass. -Ultimate Coma Match: Bill DeMott d. Rikishi. Third week in a row with a DeMott vs. Rikishi match. Funny to see most of the crowd flee during this match to go to the concessions and MADLY eat cheesy nachos, or doing something more constructive, like DISGRUNTFULLY piss. Anything but watch this ANGRY match. Rikishi hits an avalanche on DeMott and sets up for a stinkface. However, Rikishi stupidily picks up DeMott and attempts a DDT right by the ropes. DeMott holds his ground and in the process, INTENSELY molestes the ropes for leverage to pin Rikishi. At least it was short. Right after that abortion, Undertaker rides out and calls out the Big Show. But commercials comes first. We're back with Undertaker sitting on the steps. UT says that there is too much talking, and not enough fighting. Well that's good to know. It still doesn't get rid of the Taker. 5. 4. 3. 2. WELL IT'S THE BI...Paul Heyman. Heyman tells UT that he gave Show the night off. Crowd seems disappointed. What do they know? I roar in appreciation. I'm in the nosebleed seats. I don't want that 7' 2" 500-pound piece of crap inhaling whatever oxygen I got remaining. I saw Judgment Day 2000 a few days ago. Show lost to Shane in his match and had to be carried out by EMTs. While being loaded, Show opened his mouth and drenched slobber all over an EMT's head. Took me a good five minutes to stop laughing from that. Anyway, Big Show has a message for the Dead Man. Out comes Kendrick on a bicycle (with training wheels I might add) in a bell hop suit. Kendrick gets in the ring with Taker and starts singing a telegram. Kendrick did a good job, but the whole segment really blows. Heyman does some more talking. Taker does some more talking. This is just horrible. Crowd is begging Undertaker to powerbomb Kendrick, and finally, after what seemed like an eternity, gave an ugly Last Ride to the youngster. Kurt Angle is with Team Angle in the back and giving instructions to the guys. After Angle makes some low-blow comments about the Packers, he mentions how Vince Lombardi used to coach in Green Bay. He said, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing". It's true. It's true. Group Hug. Main Event: Team Angle (Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas) w/ Kurt Angle d. Team Canada (Chris Benoit & Edge) This is a number one contender's match for the tag titles. No one picks up on my Ca-na-da chant. Oh well. Both teams used a lot of physchology in this match, trying to weaken each others arms. Realistic, but boring to watch. Midway throught the match, Angle was caught on the apron and got speared by Edge. After Haas got clotheslined by Angle, Benoit hit a NASTY SUICIDE dive onto the two. Benoit is the man. After a few hot tags, Benoit hits the rolling germans on Benjamin and the swandive headbutt. However, the ref gets distracted and Angle introduces his belt to Benoit's face. Benoit is out and Team Angle picks up the pinfall for the victory. Team Angle leaves up the ramp while Benoit & Edge have those I-know-you-beat-me-this-week-with-a-foreign-object-but-let-me-assure-you-that-this-is-not-over faces. After a long wait, which I'm guessing was the end of the show, Team Angle rushed toward Benoit & Edge in the ring. Brock Lesnar came out and made a B-line towards Angle. Lesnar threw Angle in the ring and gave him an F-5. Then he wore Kurt's medals and raised the WWE title. -End of show. Biggest Pops 1. Hollywood Hulk Hogan. Even though he didn't show, it seemed like 75% of the crowd had a Hogan sign or something, expecting he would make some type of appearance. 2. Brock Lesnar 3. Undertaker 4. The Rock "live via satellite" 5. Chris Benoit Biggest Pops in My Pants 1. Torrie Wilson's breasts 2. Torrie Wilson's Titantron 3. Four girls in front with tight white t-shirts on 4. Dawn Marie 5. Chic in low tanktop who passed by me once in awhile Most Heel Heat 1. Vince McMahon 2. Kurt Angle 3. John Cena (again, the Packer slams got him huge heat). 4. Paul Heyman 5. A-Train -Final word Really disappointing show. Benoit & Edge losing. Rey jobbing to Ape-Shit. The Undertaker skit was pointless. No Rock. No Hogan. You won't miss much on Thursday night. Thanks for reading. Credit: 411Wrestling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bricks Report post Posted January 29, 2003 *GROAN* Dear God, it took them one freakin' week to think it's time for another push for A-Train!!!!

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted January 29, 2003 Poor, poor, poor Rey. I thought Albert was done with? Well, at least they think they have solved the problem. A NEW lame finisher will get him over! And unless Angle is winning at Mania (Which he's not) why the hell is Brock getting the bette of him EVERY WEEK?

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted January 30, 2003 I wanna know whats up with this Kendrick guy, he was wearing this sweater with a big flower on the front and back of it. It was just..wierd.. Rey vs A Train was bearable... Eddy vs Cena was good...Side note - when did the Guerreros get Cheat to Win - Its a Family Tradition shirts? Kidman vs Shannon Moore - actually a decent match..Cole calling Shannon "The Kid" is giving me a bad feeling.. Rikishi vs Demott - bad.. The Taker/Kendrick singing telegram was semi funny.. Benoit/Edge vs Team Angle - Gets a good 20 minutes with a commercial break in between. Absolutely awesome match. All in all, this is one of those usual smackdowns with 1 or 2 good matches, a couple of ok matches, a terrible match, and a bunch of backstage stuff and interviews.
