One and Only Smackdown! Thread; April 10th, 2003

[Guest AndrewTS]

It's always a lively event when WWE visits Chicago; this week, SmackDown! comes to you from the Windy City -- and it's sure to be a can't-miss episode. Catch it at 8/7 CT this Thursday night on UPN!

The WWE Championship No. 1 Contender Tournament continues this week with the semifinals. In one semi, the Undertaker battles John Cena, while in the lower bracket, Chris Benoit goes one on one with Rhyno. Two of these four Superstar will advance to the finals next week. Who will they be?

 

In other action, the WWE Cruiserweight Champion, Matt Hardy, has challenged the WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar, to a match this week. Will Lesnar, fresh off returning from a serious concussion, accept?

 

What does Sable have up her sleeve? The blonde bombshell returned last week on SmackDown!, saying that she believed there was room for both her and Torrie Wilson, and that the two Playboy cover girls may just end up as the best of friends. What was she talking about? Perhaps we'll here more on this situation this week, as both Divas are scheduled to be in Chicago for SmackDown!

 

And speaking of returns, Piper's Pit is back in WWE! "Rowdy" Roddy Piper shocked the world when he appeared at WrestleMania and clobbered Hulk Hogan with a lead pipe. What will the "Hot Scot" have to say this week in the return of his legendary interview segment?

 

This and much more will unfold starting at 8/7 CT Thursday night on UPN!

 

NOTE: SmackDown! will not be seen at its normal time this week in Evansville, Ind., and in Seattle. The show will air instead on Saturday (April 12) in both cities -- catch it beginning at 3 p.m. in Evansville, and 8 p.m. in Seattle.

About time someone started this, was going to in a second, should be a decent show.

[Guest AndrewTS]

Yeah--with it being taped, people don't care as much.

 

Still...after seeing the spoilers, I'm going to be only watching the good stuff, and passing on the rest.

[Guest tpww7]

Brock didnt do the happy dance coming in, damn. And I thought that guy in the background was X-Pac.

[Guest tpww7]

It's lonely here

[Guest tpww7]

Matt is the longest reigning singles champion on SD!

Matt is the longest reigning singles champ on SD.

 

Matt's book is a NY Times best seller--of course.

Brock is so dumb.

[Guest tpww7]

Ouch, Nasty bump into the ring post by Matt.

[Guest AndrewTS]

Brock selling the injury.

 

Yes, Jeff does suck, humanoids! Wrong show, though.

[Guest tpww7]

And Brock just killed Matt with an electric chair drop.

[Guest Nevermortal]

That Electric Chair Drop was STIFF~!

[Guest AndrewTS]

Clotheslines! Over and over!

 

Brock does his Batista impression.

[Guest AndrewTS]

[Guest Will Scarlet]

I cannot watch this week because it has been preempted for hockey. How am I supposed to get my daily dose of DeMott?

[Guest Sakura]

Why doesn't Stephanie just book Hogan in matches?

[Guest AndrewTS]

Oh great--recap of the angle that I'd rather scratch my balls than watch.

[Guest AndrewTS]

Vince's power > Steph or Eric.

Then what's stopping Vince from rehiring Austin and Ross and firing Morley and Eric again?
