Smackdown/Velocity Spoilers

[Guest ViciousFish]

I can't remember where I read it but what someone said was something along the lines of the WWE is like a college girl getting a compliment for having a nice sweater so she wears it the next weekend, except the WWE would wear it for 3 years. They got a bit of a 'Hey that was pretty good' when Mr. America first came along because it was funny for 5 minutes, so now they're dragging it out as long as possible.

[Guest JDMattitudeV1]

Hopefully Kurt can save this show in two weeks time, but I doubt it as the McMahons have to get their 45 minutes of TV time per week.

[Guest Space_Cowboy]

Well, Smackdown looks like a pile of crap, but that's the WWE's standard show these days.

 

Vince needs to be dragged off to an insane asylum, and soon.

[Guest godthedog]

What the motherfucking fuck?

that's got to be the funniest thing i've read on the board in the last month.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

According to my math. Zack Gowen is only 20. That's young for a wrestler.

[Guest Y2DAYDAY]

Wait and see. Once Kurt Angle comes back, the Mr. American stuff will get cut back. They are just filling time until Kurt comes back so they can make Lesnar vs Angle the top program on Smackdown.

 

Don't really see where they are going with the Mr. America angle. Guess they will have to do a stipulation match where if Mr. America beats someone, Hulk Hogan is reinstated but if Mr. America loses, he is done with WWE.

 

Don't even see who Hogan can work with at this point except maybe the FBI.

 

Hogan will be gone again by Summerslam and will be back in January for the Mania run.

[Guest Coffey]

I wish the spoilers were more descriptive. So, we got Cena going over Spanky clean with his finisher? Wasn't this supposed to be a new feud? So, is this the end of that feud?

 

While reading that, it just seemed like Mr. McMahon was in almost every single segment. Yeah, that sounds about right. Well, if Steph is topless in her scenes it will be watchable.

[Guest Redhawk]

All I know is, I was seeing way too much "Vince" and "Backstage" in there. Looks like I won't be missing much this Thursday.

[Guest Choken One]

Ah..Nothing notable cept I kinda dig the sentimental push for TZ.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Don't really see where they are going with the Mr. America angle. Guess they will have to do a stipulation match where if Mr. America beats someone, Hulk Hogan is reinstated but if Mr. America loses, he is done with WWE.

I suspect this may be one of the rare instances where we really won't care if they just drop the angle w/out any mention.

 

Mr. America who?

 

Hulk what?

 

Don't know what you're talking about.

[Guest nikowwf]

The meltzer spoilers said the tag match was a long good match, the matt/benoit match was good, and the rey match was good too.

 

why is everyone so down on the show? hell, all the mr. america crap is on the end too, so its a hell of a 90 minute show from where im sitting.

 

niko

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

The Mr. America crap is all throughout the show, not just at the end.

 

And why are we down on the show? Maybe the fact that the focus of the show isn't on the champ. The focus is on the feud between the 50 year-old owner and the pushing-50 year-old wrestler, a feud which is dominating the air time (6 or 7 segments, the same as the number of actual matches). And that Sean O'Haire, a "new" guy on which they ran a bunch of promos to hype up, is playing 4th fiddle behind the 50 year-old owner, the pushing-50 year-old wrestler, and a 1-legged wrestler. And that the Torrie/Sable angle continues trudging on.

 

None of that stuff bothers you?

[Guest bravesfan]

From the Observer...

 

Dark/Velocity matches:

 

Murray Harper (?) and Horshue beat Damien Denucci (?) and David Flair.

Denucci was pinned after a power slam. Crowd liked David Flair. Just

think if the right Flair had shown up!

 

They began showing the Velocity graphics.

 

Jamie Noble w/Nidia beat Carly Colon. Good match. Crowd LOVED it when Nidia knocked Noble's opponent

down outside the ring. Noble is very good and his opponent showed some

promise. Noble won with his double underhook into a powerbomb thing, I

know it has a proper name, but my befuddled and tired mind can't

remember it. Feel free to fill in the proper name.

 

Velocity opening TV sequence/pyro.

 

Rikishi beat Phil Brown. Total squash under 2 minutes. Stinkface.

2nd rope buttdrop. Rikishi dances. Crowd liked Rikishi. I liked seeing

Rikishi on Velocity.

 

Josh and the Cat came out to a mild pop.

 

Undertaker video was shown. Cat cut a promo and danced. The crowd went

mild.

 

Bill Demott beat Brad Hunter. Demott told the following lame joke before

the match. "Who are the 3 most famous guys who got shot in the head?

Answer: Lincoln, Kennedy and the guy who sat in front of Pee Wee Herman

in the theater!" Crowd groaned appropriately at that Hugh Morrus joke.

Hunter was so appalled he attacked Demott immeadiately. This match was

about as good as Bill's joke.

 

Funaki beat Kanyon. Quite a decent match.

 

Velocity Main Event: A-Train vs. Rhyno. I was happy to see A-Train... on

Velocity. Longish match with an extended bearhug segment. Crowd got into

Rhyno's comeback. Rhyno finally GOARed Albert out of the ring. Albert

was counted out. Yes, a count out finish for a main event. Way to help

those sagging ratings. WWEEEEEEEE~!

 

Smackdown:

 

After WWE logo we see Judgement Day recap of Hogan/Piper, highlighting

Tenacious Z keeping Vince from interfering. Wow, I really wish I dumped

$35 on that show on Sunday! Cut to a "live" shot of a limo arriving.

Vince storms out of the limo looking pissed and immeadiately storms to

the entrance ramp. He cuts a short promo saying he's pissed off at all

the mistakes happening here lately, (Mr. America, yadda yadda). He says

Steph is still the Smackdown GM, but that HE is going to run things

tonight. I was appalled at this.

 

Smackdown has a new opening video and music theme now. The new theme is

kind of a rap with heavyish guitars in the background. My guess is this

is a WWE music creation and not a real song, but frankly I would be the

last to know if it's a real song. New theme seemed good enough. I was

certainly sick of Marilyn Manson or whatever that other dreck was they

had opening the show.

 

Opening match:

WWE Tag titles: Eddie and Tajiri vs Team Angle. Eddy was over. Finish

was Eddie and Tajiri winning by DQ. Tajiri was being pinned and Eddie

ran into the ring and chaired the referee in the back. He then threw the

chair to Charlie Haas who the ref saw with the chair and DQed. Silly

finish aside (and the crowd loved it), this was a great, long match

until end. Eddie was awesome here. This was the best match on Smackdown

in a while, if not up to the awesome stuff from last Fall. Good start to

the show.

 

More clips of Tenacious Z/Piper/Hogan.

 

Steph talks to Vince in the back and says nothing. She doesn't want

Vince to lose his control. Vince vows to be totally out of control by

the end of the night. yippee.

 

They play a Torrie video.

 

Brock will fight a member of the FBI tonight in a non-title match.

 

Egads, another Vince promo. No wonder his first one was so short. As

unthrilled as I am to see Vince again, his video with him laughing

manically at the camera cracked me up. He is pissed at Piper. He

demands Piper come out and apologize. Piper comes out and reluctantly

apologized. Vince slaps Piper. Piper advises Vince to not do that again.

Blah Blah Blah. They make a match with Sean OHaire taking on Hogan

tonight. If O'Haire loses than Piper gets to hear the 2 magic words,

"YOU'RE FIRED!" There's your main event. Ugh.

 

A new KURT ANGLE~! video promo airs voiced by the man himself. It ends

with the message that Kurt will return in 2 weeks. As great as that

sounds, I hope his neck is really ready...

 

Cena beat Spanky in a total squash. Spanky should NEVER be in the ring

with someone as big as Cena as the crowd really didn't buy Spanky at

all. At least they didn't introduce him as "Brian Kendrick". Cena did

rap before the match and won with the F-U.

 

Still shot recap of Stretcher match. FBI discusses who will wrestle

Brock tonight. Very UNfunny segment.

 

A Rey Mysterio - 619 DVD is plugged.

 

A funny Mattitude promo airs next (which I am sure won't air) where they

run down Greensboro. Good stuff here.

 

Rey comes out to commentate for the next match.

Benoit beat Matt Hardy with the crossface. Crowd got into Benoit bigtime

at the end but was dead for the rest of the match. Pretty good match.

Rey kept Crash and Shannon from interfering at the end.

 

Matt is so outraged at Rey he says that Rey can have a cruiserweight

title shot anytime he wants, IF he can beat Crash and Shanoon, RIGHT

NOW! And, it's on...

 

Rey beat Shannon and Crash. This was very good and Rey is amazing live.

Rey appeared to get a legit leg injury at the end because things got

very sloppy at the end. Rey botched a West Coast Pop and pinned Shannon

(with Rey holding his hand on the ropes). This pinfall appeared to

count, but then Crash attacked Rey and then got pinned by Rey. So,

either Rey had to pin both men to win, OR the first pinfall didn't count

OR they decided to edit out the first pinfall and do another finish. In

any event the finish was very confusing live. Match was good and longer

than the Matt Hardy/Benoit match, assuming it isn't edited. The ref and

a trainer carried Rey to the back. Again I think he had a legit injury,

but I guess it could have been great selling. No sign of the dreaded X

sign from the ref though. Anyway, Matt gave both Crash and Shannon the

Twist of Fate after the match.

 

Tenacious Z (Zack) and Steph have a sit down interview. Words can't

describe how horrible Steph was here. She was totally unconvincing and

kept flubbing her lines and having awkward pauses as she tried to

remember what she was supposed to ask. You would think it was HER first

interview on national TV instead of poor Zack's. I wouldn't be surprised

if they retaped this, that's how bad she was. Anyway, they go into

Zack's history with his leg, his family, etc. He says he almost died of

cancer and that his dream is to train with Mr. America and become a WWE

wrestler.

 

Next they aired a promo for the newest diva DVD featuring Raw performer

Stacy. Great split WWEEEEEEEE~!

 

Vince confronts Mr America backstage. He demands that Hogan agree to a

stipulation to tonight's match. If Hogan loses he takes a lie detector

test next week. (Why not make him agree to take off the mask this week

you idiots?) Hogan refuses. Vince says if Hogan refuses he will make

sure his buddy Zack, will NEVER wrestle here or anywhere. Hogan

reluctantly accepts. The highlight of this was Vince telling Mr America

that he's not really Vince McMahon, he's WILE. E. COYOTE!

 

Brock vs FBI. After the FBI guys consult, they all attack Lesnar at

once. Then the match becomes Brock vs. Johnny Stamboli. Match was fun

when it was Brock showing his scary strength throwing Stamboli around

like he weighed 90 lbs. When Stamboli was in control (which he was a

lot) this was bad. Match ended in a DQ when FBI ran in when Brock was

about to F5 Johnny. What a weak finish. FBI then proceeded to triple

team Brock. Just when Nunzio was about to level Brock with a chair, the

Undertaker returned and cleaned house. I will add that Nunzio took a

SICK bump over the top rope and landing flat on his back on the floor.

This was scary. Taker and Brock cleaned house and posed to a pretty

deafening pop.

 

Sable comes out to a decent pop. She first plugs the newest ( I beilieve

it was RAW) magazine with her on the cover. Then she stands on the table

in front of Taz, whining about the bikini contest. She then squats on

the table with her legs spread in front of Taz talking about how she's

hot and sexy. She then pours water on herself and says that Taz's

decision was "premature", but then he's "premature" all the time. Har

Har. She then dumps some water on Taz. Taz gets up and his pissed. Not

as pissed as me. Sable leaves. This segment was painful death. I can't

believe any of the loons on creative think this junk will "turn the

company around".

 

Vince gives O'Haire and Piper a pep talk, emphasising the stips for the

main event.

 

Hogan (with Zack) vs O'Haire was as bad as you would think. Hogan

surprised me by taking a bump on a bodyslam. Wow, what a wrestling

machine he is. Lots of restholds. Hogan finally hulked up and hit the

leg drop. Piper pulled the ref out of counting position as he was

counting down O'Haire's shoulders, and then slipped out of the ring and

hid below the apron. This was so well done, I began cackling. Vince's

music then played and he came out with a lot of cops and ordered that

Zack be arrested for trespassing (he had no right to be at Smackdown)

and for assaulting Vince on Sunday. The cops complied. Vince confiscated

Zack's cane calling it a "weapon". Mr America was appalled and left the

ring to argue with the cops. Piper urged the ref to begin counting Hogan

out. Vince stupidly informed Hogan at 7 that he was being counted out.

Hogan (even more) stupidly, waited until after 9 to try to get back in

the ring. O'Haire won by counout. Mr. America has to do the lie detector

next week. Piper gave Hogan a weak chairshot. Show ends with Vince,

Piper, and Sean celebrating, and with Vince doing a ridiculous limp up

and down the ring with Zack's cane. (good taste Vince).

 

After the show, Sean drags Hogan to the ring. Hogan gives Sean and Piper

the double noggin knocker and then unmasks to pose for the crowd. Too

bad Vince was backstage and didn't see this. The End.

 

Hogan got a loud pop coming out, but not as loud as Brock and Taker got

together, which surprised me. I even saw some people (not a lot, but

some) leaving at the beginning of his match. Anyway, the first hour of

the show contains 3 good matches but man that 2nd hour is BAD. And more

non-finishes tonight. This show really needs Heyman back badly

[Guest Cerebus]

Does anyone agree that the first week you saw Hogan come out to "Real American" did that hilarious segment with Piper and wave the American flag you marked out? Now that it has consumed SD and expanded to TZ's bizzaro push it annoys me that Hogan can use his ability to make me laugh so much for such evil purposes. *sigh*

[Guest croweater]

At Last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HORAHHHHHHHHHHH

 

For WEEKS AND WEEKS AND WEEKS I have been jealous of Americans and Canadians because they get to watch the awesome and talented crew on SMACKDOWN! In Australia we only get RAW and can't even get the PPV's anymore (even though we only did pay about $13 US for them when we did have them) and FINALLY Smackdown has sunk to RAW's level.

MWUHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

It's a pitty Raw didn't climb to Smackdown's level to even things out.

Oh well.

I still don't have to watch Hogan.

Just HHH................................................ sudenly I'm not so happy anymore.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Once they're done with the Mr. America stuff - they will just give more time to the Sable/Torrie feud.

[Guest Polish_Rifle]

Too much Hogan/Vince and Stephanie.

[Guest humongous2002]

Wait and see. Once Kurt Angle comes back, the Mr. American stuff will get cut back. They are just filling time until Kurt comes back so they can make Lesnar vs Angle the top program on Smackdown.

Sure, and Rey Misterio jr. will win the WWE world title.

[Guest Gendo]

Sure, and Rey Misterio jr. will win the WWE world title.

 

Of course he will, he is gonna win it from The Big Show, that is of they hotshot it onto angle who drops it to weeks later to The Big Show, giving Rey the new nickname of El Gigante Killah because as we all know slightly mirroring WCW = Ratings and Longetivity. This will then set up the highly anticipated Mask Vs. Mask fued between Rey and Mr. America in a Mask on a Pole match in which in a swerve because SEX SELLS the mask is actually one cup from Stephanies Bra with a smiley face painted on it . Mr. America Wins so that there can be one more title run for the Americanmaniacs.

[Guest nikowwf]

Melzer said the sweater thing.

 

niko

[Guest FeArHaVoC]

Vince McMahon has spent alot of time booking his fued with Mr America. Even though all storylines are shown to Vince, he is spending extra time on his storyline with Hogan right now. Many people are saying that Vince isn't sure how to fix all the problems in the WWE right now, so he is spending alot of time making sure at least his program with Hogan is going well.

 

Rey Mysterio suffered a leg injury at the Smackdown tapings last night. No details are known as of yet

Who the Hell thinks the Mr. America storyline is going well?

 

Two weeks in a row Raw has been better then Smackdown. This is getting scary!

[Guest Goodear]

If I had to sum up WWE's problem in one bullet point it would be that they spend too much damn time on people that aren't active wrestlers. Vince, Piper, Stephanie, Austin, and Bischoff all need to get out of the way and allow the camera to focus on the actual wreslters.

Don't forget Torrie, Sable and Dawn/Al Wilson a while back.

[Guest Goodear]

I would have no problem with the ladies if they could add something to a wrestler like say Sunny or Woman... but the new crop of ladies have like no personality anymore. They are pretty but also pretty worthless.

[Guest EdwardKnoxII]

I'm shocked no one has talked about this:

 

# Brock Lesnar beat Johnny Stamboli by DQ when Nunzio and Chuck Palumbo interfered. After the match the FBI were triple teaming Lesnar until The Undertaker came down to make the save.

 

Brock Lesnar beat Johnny Stamboli by DQ Why not have Brock pin him 1-2-3? And then UT has to save him. I wonder was this booked for Takers ego?

[Guest the 1inch punch]

Dammit i wanted to add that

[Guest Polish_Rifle]

Am I the only one that thinks the FBI are not credible heels? What are they doing feuding with the likes of Benoit, Rhyno, Taker and Brock? Well maybe they can feud with taker, but they just don't seem like they pose a credible threat to me. They should be pushing Cena, O'Haire and Matt as the top tier heels instead of Stamboli and Chuck who were pretty much relegated to Heat and Velocity before the FBI.

[Guest EdwardKnoxII]

No you're not which is why I was wondering why didn't they just have Brock beat Stamboli clean 1-2-3 but, instead they booked Brock to win by DQ. Why? To protect Stamboli? Whatever. It just makes Brock look weaker.

[Guest Coffey]

I like the F.B.I. They show that strength lies in numbers.

[Guest Anglesault]

Jesus H. Angle!

 

What an awful show!

 

Please Kurt, come save us.
