Phoenix Fury Legdrop Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Thanks to Dean Rasmussen & The DVDR crew (www.deathvalleydriver.com) VELOCITY: Johnny Stamboli & Chuck Palumbo d. Mike Kruel & John Walker Akio d. Funaki Ultimo d. Shannon Moore Sakoda d. Scotty 2 Hotty w/ feet on the ropes. SMACKDOWN: Vince & Heyman announce 15-man Rumble for No Way Out title shot. Kidman & London had a match; didn't say who won. Rey d. Noble (9 minutes; Nidia turns on Jamie) Eddy gets stretchered out (no details) Brock Lesnar d. Orlando Jordan Eddy crawled back from the hospital to win the Rumble (Angle & Eddy got 12 minutes to themselves at the end; said to be amazing matwork)
Guest Black Tiger Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 probably a safe bet to say Kidman won
HarleyQuinn Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Sounds like it could be a decent Smackdown. Kidman vs London, Rey vs Noble and Angle vs Eddie for 12 minutes or so even if in a rumble. Nice to see they're already starting the Eddie vs Brock deal...maybe Brock attacked Eddie to stretcher him?
Guest Fook Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Looks like a good show. Two cruiser matches (and when was the last time that happened?) and a reportedly good rumble. And we get to see Brock squash the 7up guy.
Fökai Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Royal Rumble: Eddy wins after crawling back from the hospital. Eddy and Angle at the end for like TWELVE minutes. REALLY REALY REALLY GREAT. Great Mat section. Schneider says off-the-hook great. Haas has really great punches now for some reason. Billy Gunn in too long. Best Battle Royal ever if you add in the last twelve minute.
ANKLELOCK Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Sounds GREAT. The next best thing to a Benoit/Lesnar is Guerrero/Lesnar.
Guest Anglesault Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 maybe Brock attacked Eddie to stretcher him? Of course not. We both know Angle did it for no logical reason.
Lil' Bitch Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Interesting to see how Heyman will address the Benoit situation.
Guest Choken One Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Wait...they had 15 other men? Why not just have a fucking 4 way dance for the title shot with Angle, Eddy, TBS and Cena?
Guest Choken One Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 so what happens to Chavo now? he is supposed to start his program with Rey Rey next... I finally think I figured out why the Guerrero Match at the rumble was so short... Remember Kurt told Eddy to just erase all emotions and wrestle? So Eddy went and outwrestled his nephew and THEN let his emotions out... Maybe it was a subtle way of saying how good eddy is...or they just decided to fuck us over.
Guest Anglesault Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Wait...they had 15 other men? Why not just have a fucking 4 way dance for the title shot with Angle, Eddy, TBS and Cena? Why randomly just pick four guys? And I know cuss alot, but that is NOT a scenario where "fuck" is needed.
Fökai Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Wait...they had 15 other men? Why not just have a fucking 4 way dance for the title shot with Angle, Eddy, TBS and Cena? ...why would Eddy deserve to be in the match?
Guest Anglesault Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 or they just decided to fuck us over. It could have been a way to get Benoit the endurance record.
Guest Choken One Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 or they just decided to fuck us over. It could have been a way to get Benoit the endurance record. true but they had two meaningless matches that could have been served to be used on heat and give this match another 10 minutes...
Guest Choken One Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Wait...they had 15 other men? Why not just have a fucking 4 way dance for the title shot with Angle, Eddy, TBS and Cena? ...why would Eddy deserve to be in the match? He won his match at The Rumble... I mean why would Cena deserve it? He isnt a former champion like Angle or the US Champion like TBS...

AndrewTS Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Unless they didn't mention non-match stuff, it looks like no Torrie or Sable. Color me pleasantly surprised. Rey d. Noble (9 minutes; Nidia turns on Jamie) ...and this couldn't have been on the PPV why? Orlando Jordan shouldn't be that high up on the card unless Brock is going to absolutely massacre him. Show looks decent on paper, but I heard the matches on Rumble that should have been good sucked, so I'm not going to get my hopes up.
Guest Choken One Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 I guess they needed someone for Brock to squash again... I'm betting it was the same scenario as the Spanky/Gowan/London stuff... Stupid Spunky young face makes a mistake with Heyman and Paul sics The Monster on him.
Fökai Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 The objective was to give Eddy the title shot. The only other way he would "deserve" the match with Lesnar, is if they ran a contender's tournament throughout the way to No Way Out. ...and this couldn't have been on the PPV why? They've barely planted the seeds for a proper turn by Nidia, not to mention the turn would be overshadowed by everything else to follow their match? Orlando Jordan shouldn't be that high up on the card unless Brock is going to absolutely massacre him. Please tell me you aren't serious. Jordan WAS massacred. No need to doubt it.
Guest Choken One Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 At least they finally gave Noble/Rey a proper match...
AndrewTS Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 I guess they needed someone for Brock to squash again... I'm betting it was the same scenario as the Spanky/Gowan/London stuff... Stupid Spunky young face makes a mistake with Heyman and Paul sics The Monster on him. Except Jordan will probably be made to look like he could have won.

Stupid Spunky young face makes a mistake with Heyman and Paul sics The Monster on him. Except Jordan will probably be made to look like he could have won. Why you figure this? It's not like he's a hoss or anything... Or even a guy who's been on Smackdown recently...
Fökai Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 You know...considering the small amount of actual matches, could the Battle Royale have used the Rumble gimmick?
SamoaRowe Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Sounds like a can't miss Smackdown! Did I just say that? And the mere thought of seeing Paul London on Smackdown brings a smile to my face. Leave it for the WWE to start pushing him once Spanky is gone.
