SD house show results from 05-02-04

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Match 1

 

RVD Vs. Bubba Ray - to starts things off. Bubba doesn't get in the ring and moves around yelling at RVD. D-Von runs in from behind and takes him down. Bubba comes in to join in the beatdown. Rey Mysterio comes to make the save and they clear the ring of those damn Dudleyz.

 

*Cue Kurt Angle's music

 

SD GM Kurt Angle gets rolled out on his wheelchair by Luthor.

 

Kurt Angle: "Rey Mysterio, this isn't Mexico! You can't break the rules here! But since you like to stick your nose in other people's business, as of right now, I'm making this a tag team match!"

 

RVD & Rey Mysterio Vs. The Dudley Boyz - Did I mention how much I love the Dudleyz as heels? Crowd was very into this one with massive "RVD" chants. Dudleyz got major heat, but a "We Want Tables!" chant did occur. Finish came when Mysterio connected with the 619 on Bubba with RVD following up with the Five Star Frog Splash for the win.

 

Match 2

 

Shannon Moore Vs. Johnny Stamboli - As Shannon makes his way down the aisle, Stamboli wastes no time by coming from behind. They both get in the ring, bell rings. Of course I didn't care about this match so I turned my head for something and next thing you know the bell rings again with Moore being announced as the winner. I was like WTF?

 

Match 3

 

WWE Tag Team Championship Match

 

Rico and Charlie Haas Vs. Chavo Guerrero Sr. and Jr. - Chavo came out to Eddie's WCW theme!!! Crowd was divided on the Guerreros since they were the heels, but the hometown heroes. Lots of "Chavo sucks!" chants. Rico points me out after seeing me in my green pimp suit holding up my Rico sign!!! Rico was very over with the crowd, it was unbelievable to hear, after playing Super Gay with both the Guerreros and Charlie. Finish came when Rico kissed Chavo Sr. and Charlie following up with a rollover for the win.

 

Match 4

 

Paul London Vs. Mordecai - Okay the Mordecai character seems pretty cool actually, IMO. Although since it was a 4 minute squash (Sadly, London was fucking destroyed), couldn't judge him on in- ring skills.

 

Basically, he comes to this theme music that is a mix of a march, some PING sound effects, and what sounds like the voice of one of those Muslim prayers for noon time in Baghdad or something. He comes out in a white monk outfit with the hood up (like that one sorcerer from Conan The Destroyer) very slow walk to the ring. He then turns his face to the turnbuckle and gets on one knee to make what appeared like a prayer. He then gets up and turns around and take off the robe and gives it to the referee. He's a big dude so right there I knew London had no chance. He looks like Sabertooth from the X-Men but in Jeff Jarrett's old white outfit from 95 but the top is a see through white mesh with that cross of his on his chest and back. Paul was finished off by the Razor's Edge. Yeah, I marked out for that.

 

Match 5

 

Billy Kidman Vs. Jamie Noble - Solid 10 minute match from these guys. Can you believe Kidman actually got a reaction? The match was pretty much back and forth. Finish came when Noble went for that headlock submission, but Kidman rammed him into the turnbuckle. Noble then connected with the Tigerbomb, but amazingly Kidman kicked out. Billy then connected with an Enziguri and then followed up with the Shooting Star Press for the win.

 

Match 6

 

WWE Championship Match

 

Eddie Guerrero Vs. John Layfield - To start off things, Bradshaw cut a really nasty racist promo and got insane heat for it although he couldn't get it across the first time since it was completely drowned by "Eddie" chants. I forgot most of it, but it was pretty fucked up and really tasteless, I'm surprised nobody threw shit at him. I think he said if it was up to him, he would have every Mexican deported and after he wins the WWE Championshiip, he said he wouldn't bother coming back ever to this shithole (yes, he really said that). Cue Eddie, the hometown hero, to defend us. Lots of "Culero" (Asshole) chants for Bradshaw. Eddie worked his magic and got a decent match out of Bradshaw that seemed to go 20 minutes. I mean the match was fucking long. Bradshaw wouldn't stop with the fucking chinlocks so that was the biggest gripe of the match. Funny spot Bradshaw did when as he was holding Eddie to do the Crucifix / Fallaway Slam, he flipped off the crowd with both hands. Finish came when Bradshaw missed with a belt shot and got slammed for it. Eddie then connected with his beltshot (ref bump happened) and finished off Bradshaw with the Frog Splash. After receiving the belt, he got in the middle of the ring, got on both knees and pointed to the sky, I'm sure he was refering to Gordy.

 

The following was actually recorded so you might see the footage on TV this:

 

Eddie posed for awhile, then went around the ring to get cheered by the people in front row, I patted him on the shoulder! Then he got back in the ring and got on the mic. He said he was proud to be from El Paso and to return home as the WWE Champion. Told some jokes, and then got his family into the ring. Introduced his two dauighters and wife to the crowd, kissed his wife while grabbing her ass and then gave her some flowers. He said since it was so close to Mother's Day what better than do introduce his mother. She came down and she received flowers from her boy. Bradshaw then comes back to the ring and nails Eddie with Clothesline from Hell. He then goes over to Eddie's mother and grabs her shoulder and squeezes it as hard as he can to take her down, I guess he was trying to do the Vulcan Pinch or something. Huge heat for this, Eddie is down as his family is crying outside the ring. Road agents and referee come in to make the save, Bradshaw then poses with the title and then leaves. Eddie recovers and wants-to-beat-the-shit-out-of-a-crazy-fan pissed. Eddie's mother is taken out on a stretcher with the oxygen mask put on her.

 

10 Minute Intermission

 

I was shocked Guerrero / Layfield wasn't the main event, seems like something always had to end shitty for Eddie when he comes back for a show in his hometown,

 

Match 7

 

Bob Holly Vs. Mark Jindrak - Despite being over with the crowd, I yelled insults to Bob every chance I took whenever it got quiet. Nothing really of interest except for Holly losing via a rollover after Theodore Long provided a distraction on the apron. Did I mention how much I like Jindrak being the new Narcissist? All he needs are the women now.

 

Match 8

 

Torrie Vs. Dawn - Both women come out for a match, but before things could get underway, Rene Dupree comes out (he looks like Ric Flair now, dyed his hair blonde, sports a shiny purple robe, along with matching purple boots and tights and even acted like him a bit when he demanded the referee lift the ropes so he can enter easier to which the referee did), corners Torrie, and says he wants to finish things with her from the last SD. Before he can do anything though, cue John Cena to make the save. Cena cuts a rap on Rene and Dawn saying Rene was a French f----t and Dawn was a butter-face cheap ho which of course infuriates them both and Cena getting mad love from the crowd.

 

SD GM Kurt Angle gets rolled back out.

 

Kurt Angle: "Cena, you don't run things on SD. I do and as of right now, I'm making this an Intergender tag team match. You're lucky I'm in this wheelchair, otherwise I would come in there myself and kick your ass."

 

John Cena & Torrie Wilson Vs. Rene Dupree and Dawn Marie - Fun little match the crowd had fun with. Finish came when Torrie and Dawn got in a catfight and rolled out of the ring, Cena threw Rene into the turnbuckle chest first and turned around to get an FU for the loss. Cena poses with the US title while Torrie puts on Cena's lockchain and does the "You Can't See Me!" gesture, oh lord.

 

Match 9 and The Main Event

 

Booker T Vs. The Undertaker - Booker T comes out and insults El Paso on the mic. He then says he isn't scared of the Undertaker and dares him to come out and face the former 5-time WCW Champion. Lights go out, cue "Darkside" from The Music Vol. 2, crowd goes apeshit and out comes Undertaker along with Paul Bearer in a blueish-green spotlight. Very slowly they walk to the ring just like the good old days. Taker is still sporting the trenchcoat, but check this out, he got rid of the leather cowboy hat and was wearing HIS ORIGINAL HAT!!! My God, I was marking out like I was 10 years ago. Undertaker commands the lights to go back on after getting on the steel steps. Taker enters the ring and Bearer takes off the trenchcoat for him. Undertaker takes off his hat just like old school!!!

 

Booker T says what happened on SD with him hitting the urn was an accident and then said El Paso was not worthy of seeing a match like this and demanded it be saved two weeks later for the PPV. Major heat for that. Undertaker's just standing there like a statue. Booker T then clocks Undertaker and we're on out way. Check this out. The match was NOT a squash. It went on for a good 10 -15 minutes, it was pretty much back and forth as well. Finish is a little foggy, but it occured when Booker T nailed Undertaker with the Scissors Kick, but kicked out of it and then did the rise up. Undertaker connects with the Chokeslam and then ends it all with the Tombstone holding Booker T's hands as Undertaker rolls his eyes back for the 1-2-3. I liked what I saw, I hope to see it re-booked the way it was tonight for Judgment Day. Lights go off again with the blueish-green spotlight on him. Paul Bearer holds the urn up and Undertaker gets on one knee and holds his hand out (OLD SCHOOL AGAIN!). Undertaker and Bearer leave as so does Booker soon after. And that's the end of our show.

 

Edit: Missing In Action for Tonight (and mostly Thank God): Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi, Billy Gunn, the Bashams, & Sable.

 

Sadly, no Funaki, Akio, or Sakoda either.

 

I had a blast tonight, I HOPE Judgment Day will be similar to all this.

[King Cucaracha 0]

Rhyno

 

He's the Raw Jobber, remember?

 

Doesn't look a bad show, except for the Eddie/Eddie's mom segment. If they use that, the Bradshaw/Eddie build up has reached all new levels of suck.

[Guest Trivia247]

How low will they sink Bradshaw?

[Guest DeathBecomesYou]

In Bradshaw's case, I guess WWE are thinking that a bad reaction is better than no reaction at all.

[Scroby 0]

That house show actually didn't sound to bad.

[Guest El Picardo]

I'm glad that at the very least, Booker T won't get squashed at JD. I still don't understand why it couldn't have been Booker/Eddie and Taker/JBL at JD. Bah.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

Odd place for the Eddy/Bradshaw match (before Holly/Jindrak???).

 

That better not be how the JD match plays out. Book *NEEDS* to win.

[SamoaRowe 0]

This is the first positive house show report I've heard regarding the build for Judgment Day. If I were in charge of Smackdown by this point, I'd be using 'Taker vs Booker T as the main event by this point just to spare the world of Bradshaw in a main event.

[Open the Muggy Gate 0]

Sounded great. I think ya'll are right. Taker vs Booker T is the way to go in that main event IMO.

[Guest CronoT]

I would have gone, but I spent the day with my girlfriend. (I was also broke.)

[Guest Askewniverse]

I had a blast tonight, I HOPE Judgment Day will be similar to all this.

Deon, I'm kinda surprised you said that. Didn't you say "Fuck WWE and fuck Judgment Day. I definitely won't be going" a few weeks ago? Are you reconsidering going to Judgment Day?

[Enigma 0]

Rico points me out after seeing me in my green pimp suit holding up my Rico sign!!!

 

Despite being over with the crowd, I yelled insults to Bob every chance I took whenever it got quiet.

 

I've said it a million times and I'll say it again. I loathe house show reports where the author refers to things he did or said during the show, trying to make it seem like he was an important part of the show or something. It just screams "mark."

 

And UT was wearing the non-leather hat on Smackdown this week. Also, the theme music he's using is a new version of Graveyard Symphony. The UT song from Vol. 2 is impossible to be used as a theme song because all it is a remix with him talking in it. 1/4 of that song is actual UT music.

[JoeDirt 0]

I don't see why people are surprised at the placement of Eddie/JBL. They were shooting that segment after, and didn't want to send the crowd home on that note.

 

And there's no way in hell Booker wins at JD. Sorry.

[SamoaRowe 0]

Losing to Undertaker isn't as awful as everyone makes it out to be, cause let's face it, just about everyone has at some point. Here's a list of superstars who have been pinned or beaten by Undertaker:

 

Kane

Triple H

Steve Austin

The Rock

Big Show

Hulk Hogan

Kurt Angle

 

A lot of big names, eh? Sure, Booker T does need some wins, but a high profile match on a PPV, even a losing effort, is still better than what he was doing before.

 

Anyone else think the JD match could become a HIAC?

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

A lot of big names, eh? Sure, Booker T does need some wins, but a high profile match on a PPV, even a losing effort, is still better than what he was doing before.

The problem is that Booker *should* be the next challenger for Eddie. Jobbing him to Taker cuts off any momentum he may have, and then you're back to a situation like Bradshaw where the fans know the challenger has no shot to beat Eddie, and thus don't care about the feud. Book going over Taker is win/win - Taker won't be hurt, and Book gets a high-profile win to boost him into a feud w/ the champ.

Well, SD's been getting better the past couple of weeks, its too late to go, but I'll probably be ordering it.

 

I've said it a million times and I'll say it again. I loathe house show reports where the author refers to things he did or said during the show, trying to make it seem like he was an important part of the show or something. It just screams "mark."

 

Well, it IS MY report so of course I'm going to write tidbits of what I did.

 

Also, the theme music he's using is a new version of Graveyard Symphony. The UT song from Vol. 2 is impossible to be used as a theme song because all it is a remix with him talking in it. 1/4 of that song is actual UT music.

 

Well, they just cut off the talking, I'm pretty sure it was Vol. 2 because I could hear the violins being played.
