Smackdown Spoilers

[Jebus 0]

Velocity:

 

FBI defeated Bashams - Stamboli held Danny in a

backbreaker while Nuzio came off the top with a

legdrop.

 

Charlie Haas def. Mark Jindrak - decent match, due to

Haas. Won with a German bridge.

 

Kidman/London beat Dudleys by DQ - Kidman hit D-Von

with the shooting star, but Bubba pulled the ref out

for the DQ. Afterwards they laid them out. Not a bad

match.

 

Smackdown:

 

Angle gloated about doing the right thing at GAB and

justice being served

 

Show starts...

 

Layfield came in to celebrate his title victory. Ring

was laid out with red, white, and blue decorations on

the ropes and the canvas was red. Name drops Ronald

Reagan, saying it's "Morning in America" again and how

he'll be a great champion to everyone. Says Angle

allowed him to fight anyone who was at the Bash last

night, except Eddie Guerrero.

 

Booker vs. RVD vs. Dupree - winner will be the #1

contender for the U.S. Title. Pretty good spots, with

the crowd popping for the Spinaroonie and RVD's first

frog splash and Rolling Thunder. Heat was given for

the Dupree Shuffle. Finish was RVD hitting his second

splash on Dupree (Booker caught one first), but Booker

pulled him out the ring and covered Dupree for the

win. Kind of a lame finish.

 

Bradshaw goes into the locker room, and says he picks

"a Dudley". Of course, it turns out to be Spike.

Cena, Rey, Dudleys (no Spike), and Booker were in the

skit.

 

Luther Raines talks with Charles Robinson and reviews

the Sable/Tori match on a television...complains about

some kind of controversy. Says if there is any

problems with the rematch, there will be trouble.

 

Tori beats Sable with a DDT. Terrible match, as you

could have expected. Sable didn't wait 3 seconds to

sell the DDT or anything. No controversy though.

Afterwards, Angle comes on the Titan and says although

there were no problems, he couldn't let Raines get

away with last night, so he sends Raines to fight him

in a match. Raines catches him and starts pounding

him until Haas comes out for the save. The funny

thing about this is that they did this spot twice. I

guess whoever was booking didn't like the first one,

so he made them do it over again just before the main

event.

 

Heyman comes out, and gloats about getting the

Undertaker to finish off Bearer. Says he is due for a

thank you by the Undertaker and he will get that "with

interest". Pyro explodes and Undertaker comes up on

the Titan and tells Heyman if he's willing to do that

to Bearer, the only person he cared about, imagine

what he's going to do to him. Heyman acts like a

scared rabbit.

 

Mysterio beats Mordecai - Disappointing, with Mysterio

of course on defense most of the time. He did get in

the 619, but the crowd didn't pop for it until right

after he did it. Finish was Mordecai going for that

Razor's Edge/crucifix bomb, but Rey was able to turn

it into the hurricanrana for the win. Is that his

first loss?

 

The Dudleys talk to Spike. They accuse Spike of doing

something to get the shot. They say they have his

back, because they are family, and they "know" if he

wins the title he's going to give one of them the

first title shot. Spike says he'd rather do it on his

own.

 

Kenzo Suzuki comes out, yells some jibberish in

Japanese with the crowd saying "what" after every

pause, then Cena comes out. He clowns him and his

valet for a while, then has production replay the

promo bit by bit and attempts to translate. Mostly

gutter humor, talking about constipation and how Kenzo

likes going to gay nude beaches. Funny spot on the

valet, translating one statement as Kenzo taking her

to see "White Girls" (clowning her because of all the

white makeup on her face). Crowd loved it, but I

doubt if it goes over on tv that well.

 

Main event...of course Bradshaw squashed Spike. Spike

got in some offense, with the stomps in the corner and

the Dudley Dog, which got a 2 count the crowd popped

over, but Bradshaw gave him two short clotheslines

(ala Jake Roberts) and a powerbomb.

 

As soon as the bell rang, Eddie's music came up and he

came to the ring. They fought, and Bradshaw bailed.

Before he got back into his car, Eddie told him to

hold on, and informed him that he had a clause in his

contract when he won the WWE title saying he gets a

rematch of a match of HIS choosing, and it will be a

cage match in two weeks. Bradshaw ranting as the show

ends.

 

After the show, Eddie left and Bradshaw came back out,

called Eddie a "stupid Hispanic punk" or something

like that, and clowned the crowd for a while for

trailer parks and confederate flags. Typical stuff.

 

He challenged Eddie or anyone else to come from the

back to face him so he'd kick his ass and the

Undertaker came out with a loud pop. Once Taker got

in the ring, Bradshaw played scared and tried to talk

himself into fighting him, saying he was a Hardcore

Champion and was a tough guy. Finally he tried to

fake getting out the ring and tried to hit Taker,

Taker blocked it, hit him a few times, chokeslam, and

eventually the Tombstone. Taker then grabbed the

title and laid it on Bradshaw and left. Bradshaw got

up after Taker left, doing a little selling, clowned

the fans again, and left.

 

Crowd was alright. They popped for Cena, Mysterio,

and Taker. After a little pop during the Sable/Torrie

match, they went dead. And they really weren't that

interested in Bradshaw/Spike...not that you can blame

them. They loved the aftershow, so I suppose everyone

went home happy, which is typical Vince.

[Guest Choken One]

hey! that didn't suck!

[stahl 0]

This actually sounds like a decent episode. Not stellar or great, or poor or crappy, but decent. That does surprise me.

[Guest Mr. Wrestling]

Decent Show actually. I want to note something too. Shannon Moore got a monster pop during his dark match with Carly Colon. During Velocity, The Dudley Boyz could not get anyone to boo them. Bubba kept shouting "YOU ALL SUCK" but still no one booed him.

[Guest Anglesault]

I'd ask what "clowned" means, but really, if Cena and Bradshaw are doing it, it must suck.

 

BTW, not only will that Cena promo translate poorly on to TV, it translates poorly into print.

 

Good thing Sox/Yanks is on Thursday.

Actually it was pretty hilarious. Everyone else got a good laugh out of it.

I'm totally confused by this.

 

Does Angle turns face? Or is it that Raines does? And Haas turns heel or face?

 

Maybe I just didn't get that right.

Obviously whoever wrote that is an idiot. Angle came on the Titantron and said that Charles Robinson couldn't get away with what he did so he sent Luther down to kick his ass.

Cena's " You're gay You're gay You're gay You're gay You're gay-izzle world life yo dawg YOU CAN'T SEE ME (even though the guy clearly can)" promos ceased amusing me around November.

 

The ADDED ATTRACTION~! of a "funny" Japanese translation doesn't appeal to me.

[Precious Roy 0]

Charlie Haas def. Mark Jindrak - decent match, due to

Haas. Won with a German bridge.

 

NOOOOOOOOO! The Reflection of Perfection's GLORIOUS winning streak comes to an end!

[Guest JMA]

Hm. Looks like JBL's title win was just a consolation prize from Vince for losing his CNBC job. And possibly a reward for his "loyalty" to the company.

 

Hopefully his title reign is shorter than the Iron Sheik's.

Actually, the promo started out with him talking about Kenzo Suzuki being constipated. He even included a little joke about Hiroko being a hermaphrodite and "getting her face painted white" every night. The gay thing was thrown in for the added effect.

[Guest TigerDriver91]

Hahaha. Mordecai loses to Rey Rey.

What added effect?

 

You know what? I don't care.

 

I honestly can't watch this show until Cena turns heel or his character is taken behind the barn and shot.

 

And the sad thing is that the Cena issue is only like 3 or 4 on my list of things that need to be fixed before I get interested again.

[thuganomics 0]

Considering it's a show featuring JBL as champ, I got to say it looks decent. Don't know why we're going for a Haas/Reigns feud, but I wouldn't mind seeing John Cena vs Kenzo Suzuki at all.

 

I still don't understand why Booker's buried in the midcard though.

[SuperJerk 0]

Sooooo...

 

Two weeks until JBL relinquishes the title, right?

 

 

Right?

 

 

Guys?

[Lil' Bitch 0]

NOOOOOOOOO! The Reflection of Perfection's GLORIOUS winning streak comes to an end!

 

Bob Holly beat Jindrak last week.

 

 

 

 

Wow, SD sounds pretty decent, I just like Velocity's line-up better.

 

Velocity:

 

FBI defeated Bashams - Stamboli held Danny in a

backbreaker while Nuzio came off the top with a

legdrop.

 

So who are the faces?

 

Sooooo...

 

Two weeks until JBL relinquishes the title, right?

 

 

Right?

 

 

Guys?

 

Right.

 

*marks out for cage match annoucement

NOOOOOOOOO! The Reflection of Perfection's GLORIOUS winning streak comes to an end!

 

Bob Holly beat Jindrak last week.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[CanadianChick 0]

It looks decent.

 

But lemme get something straight: Eddie's still feuding with JBL? Cena/Booker/Dupree/RVD are still feuding (if RVD/Dupree feud, they would have done every variation of feuding save heel/heel and face/face)? I'm not going to complain yet, but I really, truly hope they get these storylines moving.

[Precious Roy 0]

I think the FBI are getting a face push right now, but since they're only on TV every other other week, and usually just Nunzio popping up backstage, it's kind of hard to tell

[Guest TigerDriver91]

Since I don't get Smackdown on my television, looks like I am watching Velocity this weekend. Hell, I am even interested in watching Heat too.

 

I must be crazy or something...

[CanadianChick 0]

I think the FBI are getting a face push right now, but since they're only on TV every other other week, and usually just Nunzio popping up backstage, it's kind of hard to tell

I think you maybe right, because on Velocity last week, Stamboli was playing face to a jobber.

[Jobber of the Week 0]

I would like to see somebody else shoehorned into the title match next week, and find that Bradshaw is just a transitional champion.

 

While Eddie was great as champ, somebody else has to got to get over for the show's survival.

While Eddie was great as champ, somebody else has to got to get over for the show's survival.

Other than Cena they don't have a face who's ready to be elevated, and with him remaining as US Champ I get the impression that they're holding off on his mega push until the winter/spring.

 

RVD could get there, but they need to put in a ton of work on him first, and I don't see any commitment to him from the bookers, he's like a spare part right now.

 

Haas will be there eventually, but right now he's firmly entrenched in the midcard. You don't go from teaming with Rico and feuding with Luthor to the main-event overnight, he's got at least a year of seasoning and some US Title scene involvement before he'll get a major push.

[Guest Metallica]

So Undertaker is still a face despite what he did at GAB?

[ZGangsta 0]

RVD could get there, but they need to put in a ton of work on him first, and I don't see any commitment to him from the bookers, he's like a spare part right now.

 

The ironic thing is that for so long I'd pray that RVD got traded to Smackdown, but now I just keep thinking about how good he'd fit in on RAW these days.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

You fools.

 

 

Eddie's winning the belt at SummerSlam, I bet. Just so a face can walk off with a "World Title".

[King Cucaracha 0]

Nice to see the Haas/Luther feud starting...

 

 

...two days AFTER their PPV match.

 

Looks like I'll still be missing this one.

[Guest StevieRichards]

Mysterio beats Mordecai - Disappointing, with Mysterio

of course on defense most of the time. He did get in

the 619, but the crowd didn't pop for it until right

after he did it. Finish was Mordecai going for that

Razor's Edge/crucifix bomb, but Rey was able to turn

it into the hurricanrana for the win. Is that his

first loss?

Wow, Mordecai jobs to Mysterio? who did Mordecai piss off?

[Guest Mulatto Heat]

Like with the GAB predictions thread, I wanted to comment about this show top to bottom but lost interest halfway through and just said 'fuck it'. (Had I actually finished my GAB predictions I would have got the match winners all correct except for Torrie/Sable)

 

But I will say that I chuckled at 'gay-izzle'. And that Jindrak and Long continue to seem like two wasted Draft II choices. And Mysterio beating Mordecai seems... strange. And that TorrieBerg getting her win back is not surprising. And finally, a show around a Spike Dudley one-night title chase doesn't seem particularly interesting, but I cancelled my cable already in preparation for a move, so it's not like I'll be even able to see it.
