Smackdown Taping:

 

-Smackdown opens with WWE United States Heavyweight champion John Cena coming to the ring. Cena tells the crowd that he is from Boston and notes he is the new United States champion. Cena rips on the FCC as well. Paul Heyman comes out and announces that Brock Lesnar has left the WWE, blaming it on the Smackdown roster abandoning him last week when Steve Austin showed up in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Heyman talks about the lottery next week on Raw and gets in Cena's face, slapping him. Cena goes after Heyman but Rhyno comes out....

 

-WWE United States Heavyweight champion John Cena pinned Rhyno with the F-U.

 

-They play the Edge video pushing his return.

 

-After showing a replay of the Cena-Heyman situation, they go backstage to where Heyman is walking past the APA. The APA mock Heyman and he notes that last week they promised loyalty to the Smackdown roster but abandoned Brock Lesnar. He tells them that tonight, they will get a WWE Tag Team championship match against Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty, and if they don't win, they are fired.

 

-WWE Tag Team champions Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty defeated The APA.

 

-Backstage, The APA challenge Paul Heyman to fire them. Heyman says that he never claimed he would fire the APA, he would fire Farooq. They start to argue and Heyman tells Bradshaw that he has a successful book and appears on talk shows about giving financial advice and doesn't need to keep carrying Farooq. Farooq walks out while Bradshaw stands there. Farooq questions him, then walks off, leaving Bradshaw alone.

 

-They air a clip of Vince McMahon announcing the lottery on Raw at the Meadowlands,

 

-Backstage, Dawn Marie tells Billy Gunn, Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, and Rey Mysterio that Paul Heyman will be with them in a moment. Heyman comes in and informs them there will be a gauntlet match tonight on Smackdown and the winner will challenge WWE champion Eddie Guerrero later on in the show. Haas and Benjamin warn Heyman that unlike the APA, he can't play divide and conquer with them. Heyman tells them that they will be the first two in the gauntlet then, so they'll be wrestling each other.

 

- In the Gauntlet, Shelton Benjamin defeated Charlie Haas

 

-Backstage, Bradshaw stopped Farooq as he was leaving and tried to explain that it was business and he still wanted to be friends. Farooq walked out on him.

 

-In the Gauntlet, Shelton Benjamin defeated Billy Gunn

 

-The Big Show comes out and tells Benjamin he has something to say. He says that he may have lost the United States championship but tonight he will be the last man in the Gauntlet match,

 

-In the Gauntlet, Rey Mysterio defeated Shelton Benjamin

 

-In the Gauntlet, Rey Mysterio defeated The Big Show by countout after John Cena came down and struck him with the title belt outside the ring.

 

-WWE champion Eddie Guerrero defeated Rey Mysterio in what was said to have been a really great match.

 

-Paul Heyman came out and said that he hopes on Raw's lottery that Guerrero and Mysterio are gone forever from Smackdown, and made a crack about English being the second language on Smackdown. Heyman said that he will do what he wants and he doesn't care who tries to stop him.

 

-The Undertaker's gong was heard and he came to the ring with Paul Bearer. Rey and Guerrero shove Heyman into UT, who grabs him and tombstones him to end the show.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

Velocity looks awesome, and Smackdown is sounding good so far. Is Faarooq retiring or something?

[Guest TheArchiteck]

Haas vs. Shelton?!

MOST ANTICIPATED MATCH OF THE MONTH!!!

I'm watching just for that alone.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Well, lets break up the APA and give Bradshaw his singles push again, probably on RAW so JR can have another reason to go crazy every monday night. Faarooq stays on Smackdown, and with Mark Henry, Rodney Mack and Maven(??) or Orlando Jordan (pissed off cause he never does anything), we have a new Nation of Domination, managed by Teddy Long.

 

...

 

Well, at least I know the Bradshaw thing is really going to happen.

[Guest Anglesault]

Billy Gunn defeats Eddie tonight, parades around with the belt when Heyman comes out and says that the winner of the Gauntlet would challenge Eddie, but he never said for the title. Eddie turns for no reason, aligns with Heyman and we start that gripping Billy Gunn title chase.

[Guest Brian]

Eddie v. Rey could be awesome.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

wow architects sig brings back the memories...

 

anyway, its a gauntlet so I dont think Haas/Benjamin will last long. Tajiri/Akio vs. Kidman/London and Dragon/Chavo on Velocity should both be excellent, but what's with Rhyno being Cena's bitch? Ah well, at least he gets TV time

[Guest Askewniverse]

Billy Gunn defeats Eddie tonight, parades around with the belt when Heyman comes out and says that the winner of the Gauntlet would challenge Eddie, but he never said for the title. Eddie turns for no reason, aligns with Heyman and we start that gripping Billy Gunn title chase.

That's not even funny to joke about.

Then he gets MOVED TO RAW!

[Der Kommissar 0]

- Chuck Palumbo of the FBI defeated Hardcore Holly.

 

What was the point of the Holly push anyway? They did all that only to have him back on Velocity to Palumbo. Sad. Hopefully soon, Funaki will have enough tenure to get a token big push.

 

And a possible Shelton Benjamin push?!? I AM SO THERE!

 

EDIT: But I thought Bischoff couldn't grant title matches, so why can Heyman?

AHhHHHH. Damn you for coming up with something the WWE is capable of doing.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

Rey vs. Eddie could be awesome if given time

[Guest Anglesault]

- Chuck Palumbo of the FBI defeated Hardcore Holly.

 

What was the point of the Holly push anyway? They did all that only to have him back on Velocity to Palumbo.

Much like the endless nWo feud for Austin in 2002, it was done specifically to piss Brock off for whatever reason. Possibly to see how hard they can push Brock's buttons before he snaps, just like they did to Austin two years ago.

 

Unfortunately, it has backfired two times in a row for Vince. Maybe he'll fucking stop it now.

[Guest Choken One]

SHIT...Looking at how little shit been done on SD...maybe Haas/Benjamin goes 10+...same with Rey/Eddy.

[Guest TheArchiteck]

Urgh, they fed Shelton to Rey.

 

I too was hoping for a Shelton push.

[snuffbox 0]

Show sounds promising....not that Ill be watching or anything...

What a great show to miss because of my friend's grandfather dying (on his birthday which was today) AND the fact it's snowing like hell out. Maine is so gay.

I've got a better one.

 

I had bought the tickets to takey dad out for a Yankee Game, and the day before, my grandfather died. We decided no to go (We really could have). The Game? David Wells' perfect game.

 

I can still hear my grandfather cursing us out from beyond the grave for not going to that game.

Its funny because Eddy, Rey and Cena represent UPNs core demographic, so I doubt they'll be going anywhere.

- Chuck Palumbo of the FBI defeated Hardcore Holly.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Best. Velocity. Ever. Or, at least since Knoble/London from a few weeks ago.

 

And I see Orlando is back to beating buy-out guys for no discernible reason.

Did you at least get to see a tape of the game? It was pretty cool since David Wells wasn't shit before that game.

No, he was shit-faced before that game.

 

He pitched that game hung over.
