Smackdown spoilers

[Guest]

Thanks to William Martinez for the following:

 

Smackdown Tapings:

 

Triple H came out to open the show and started talking trash about Vince McMahon and Chris Jericho about what happened last week. Edge came out and got in Triple H's face about hitting him with a sledgehammer last week. Edge said he "wanted to play the game". The two then got personal with Triple H telling Edge to win a few WWE titles first and Edge came back by saying that the only way he got the top was by sleeping with the boss' daughter. The two then started brawling at which point Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle attacked the two. Angle then cut off a lock of Edge's hair.

 

Vince McMahon and Stacy Keibler were shown in the back talking about the bikini contest between Stacy and Torrie Wilson for later that night. Stacy showed Vince the bikini she was wearing and he was about to "nuzzle the puppies" when Jericho and Angle walked in. They bragged about what they had just done and Vince made the main event of the show Triple H & Edge vs. Chris Jericho & Kurt Angle.

 

Torrie Wilson was shown talking around when Maven approached her. Maven asked Torrie out hen Reverend D-Von and Deacon Bautista showed up. They went on about how Maven is a sinner and were about to beat up Maven when Al Snow showed up asking what was going on. In the end, a match between D-Von and Maven was made.

 

Reverend D-Von d. Maven

 

Pretty much a squash with Deacon Bautista hitting Al Snow over the head with his collection box.

 

A promo (probably for the live crowd only) played on the screens of Lance Storm putting down the Canadiens.

 

Val Venis & Randy Orton d. Lance Storm & Hardcore Holly

 

Decent match despite the crowd being dead for it. Finish saw Orton hold Storm's tights to get the win.

 

Rikishi d. Rico

 

Rikishi took the win when he sat on Rico. Rikishi thwarted interference by Billy & Chuck as well.

 

Vince was again shown about to kiss Stacy when Rico, Billy and Chuck walked in. They complained about what Rikishi had done when Vince made the match at Judgment Day between Billy & Chuck vs. Rikishi and a partner of Vince's choosing.

 

Bikini Contest

 

Tazz brought down both Stacy and Torrie. Torrie was about to take her robe off when Tajiri showed up to cover her and sent her to the back. Stacy said that since Torrie left then she won automatically. Tazz said that Stacy has to show some skin to be a winner so he showed a bit of leg and said that's it. Trish Stratus then came down (since she in the Women's champ, she can now show up on both shows) and said something I couldn't hear but she took off her robe to reveal a nice little lingerie outfit. She then kicked Stacy out of the ring.

 

Stacy was shown in the back complaining about Trish and demanded a match with her. Vince made the match for Judgment Day and asked D-Von to make sure Stacy won since Vince figures Bubba Ray Dudley would watch Trish's back.

 

The Hurricane was shown in the back in his "Shane Helms" outfit talking to Funaki when he found another letter addressed to The Hurricane. Everyone around me was convinced that Rey Mysterio Jr. is behind the letters.

 

The Hurricane d. Tajiri & Billy Kidman to become WWE Cruiserweight champion

 

Good match with Hurricane winning the title after several false finishes.

 

Hulk Hogan made his entrance and received the most thunderous ovation I have EVER seen. The ovation lasted at least 7 minutes and Hogan started crying. WWE will definitely cut part of the ovation since it took up a lot of time. The crowd just wouldn't stop. Hogan described the crowd as overwhelming and started talking trash about The Undertaker. Vince McMahon came out which prompted a whole slew of chants ranging from "asshole" to the usual "you screwed Bret". Vince went on about about how Hulkamania was a disease, blah, blah, blah and finally Vince slapped Hogan. Hogan responded by punching Vince and delivering two legdrops. When the show went to commercial, Vince got up and just stormed off.

 

Kurt Angle & Chris Jericho d. Triple H & Edge

 

Decent match. The finish saw Jericho and Triple H brawl all the way to the back while Angle hit Edge with a chair and pinned him with the Angle Slam. To the best of my knowledge, the show will end with Angle walking up the ramp. After cameras went off the air, Jericho showed up and he and Angle returned to the ring to beat up Edge some more. When Angle had Edge in the ankle lock, Triple H came out to make the save and Rikishi came out to help. Chuck and Billy then followed and then finally, Hogan came back out. The faces beat up the heels for a while and after Jericho was given the stinkface, Billy was left in the corner where all four faces each gave Billy a stinkface. Finally, Triple H and Hogan were left in the ring and they played to the fans and posed together for another 10-15 minutes and that was it.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

Edge is my new favorite wrestler...just kidding.

 

Here comes Stacy to ruin the womens division.

 

They didn't add a cruiser match to the ppv did they?  dammit.  Nope...can't let them get over.

 

I guess Angle is losing.

 

And as always...fuck HHH.

[Guest alfdogg]

They didn't add a cruiser match to the ppv did they?  dammit.  Nope...can't let them get over.

Aren't there always a couple matches that aren't ever announced on TV that show up?

 

Overall, I think I like the sounds of this show.

 

But knowing them, they'll probably edit Edge's comment out.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

Billy and Chuck vs. Rikishi and partner of his choosing?

 

This is so damn stupid.

YesyesyesyesyesyesYEEEES!

 

I'm am so taping and keeping that segment.

[Guest Cataclysm911]

Here comes Stacy to ruin the womens division.

Am I the only one that still thinks this division sucks? Jazz is mediocre at best.

 

Trish sucks.

Terri sucks.

Molly is the best the WWE has.. that isn't saying much.

Ivory is ok.

Jackie sucks.

everyone else sucks.

 

I think they should just give up.

[Guest Kinetic]

Billy and Chuck vs. Rikishi and partner of his choosing?

A partner of Vince's choosing.  If I know the WWE, this is that big debut they have planned for Mysterio.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

I think you are the only one.

 

The Trish vs. Jazz vs. Molly feud has been far superior to anything the WWE title has done since HHH won it.

[Guest]

The women's division does not suck.

 

Trish is good.

Molly is good. Ivory is good.

Jackie is good.

Lita CAN be good, and the others can work, look how far Trish has gone.

 

Jazz is the catalyst for the new womens diviosn, have you noticed, women's matches aren't the worst of the card anymore, and havnt been, for months. They are good solid matches, and they are all doing a bang up job. I hope they can really keep it up.

[Guest Kinetic]

I think they should just give up.

They're going to have to, considering that it's now a two person division.  Three people, they could get away with for a few months.  Two people, minus the woman who brought about this renaissance of women's wrestling in the WWE to begin with, isn't going to fly.  I expect to see it regress to its previous levels of mediocrity in short order.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

My guess: Rikishi and a re-hired Lawler's Kid, because the roster's not big enough already.

 

Either that, or Rikishi swerves the world and joins Billy, Chuck, and Rico as...uh...the guy who is fat...and gay...yeah.

[Guest Kinetic]

Either that, or Rikishi swerves the world and joins Billy, Chuck, and Rico as...uh...the guy who is fat...and gay...yeah.

I might be crazy and delusional, but that sounds like a decent idea.  It's not like Rikishi's doing anything else.

[Guest bcu1979]

Uh, what the hell? Where is the buildup to HITC? Why the heck are they building up a Edge/Triple H feud now before the PPV even ends?

 

Jericho gets no mic time at all to build up his match or his feud with Triple H. But EDGE gets to take cheap shots at Triple H. I guess Edge has now moved past Angle and Jericho on the totem pole.  According to the spoilers on the observer site, Triple H just shrugs off his entire attack of Jericho and Vince last week. Boy, that really puts the match over strong. And then Triple H/Jericho disappear at the end of the show so the main focus can be on a hair v. hair match. What about Jericho's big surprise that they were hyping on the weekend shows?

 

Good idea to portray the only match that has a chance of getting any buys as just another match on the card and have one of the wrestlers in the match portray the other as nobody important.

 

Nice to know they added a women's match and a crappy tag match to the PPV, but not Storm v. Venis.

 

Why the hell would they drag Hogan's carcas out there if he was supposed to be so injured from the attack on RAW. And Vince hasn't had any interaction with Hogan for weeks but now he's confronting him right before the PPV.

 

My head hurts just reading these spoilers. If things hadn't been as bad as they have been lately, I would swear these were fake.

[Guest buffybeast]

Smackdown does not look good this week.

[Guest]

The Hurricane was shown in the back in his "Shane Helms" outfit talking to Funaki when he found another letter addressed to The Hurricane. Everyone around me was convinced that Rey Mysterio Jr. is behind the letters.

 

The Hurricane d. Tajiri & Billy Kidman to become WWE Cruiserweight champion

 

This sounds pretty good and actually make some sense to me for once which is pretty astounding considering some of the stuff on the programs right now. (The bike segment, Hogan as champ in general)

 

This sounds like a really good buildup for the Hurricane to give him the alter ego and also gives him an escape plan for whenever he decides to give up the gimmick. Plus whoever the mystery person is (Got to be either Rey Mysterio or Shannon Moore I reckon) should start to mess with his mind even more coming up to King of the Ring.

 

If it's going to be Rey Rey then this buildup will be till King of the Ring because Rey's been sent to HWA till June to work off ring rust.

[Guest]

Orton pins Storm? WTF?

 

Stacey in a wrestling match on PPV? Does Vince EVER learn? Why not put someone who can work in there? Like Jackie or Ivory or Molly? Idiots.

 

I actually hope that this person sending letters to Shane Helms is Shannon Moore, as it would make more sense given their history together.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

The faces beat up the heels for a while and after Jericho was given the stinkface, Billy was left in the corner where all four faces each gave Billy a stinkface

What?  Hogan, Edge, & HHH giving a stinkface?  Uhhhhhh......

 

Billy and Chuck vs. Rikishi and partner of his choosing?

 

This is so damn stupid.

As long as they don't give the titles to Rikishi & partner

[Guest Anorak]

I'm surprised Hurricane won the cruiserweight belt as i assumed Tajiri would just job it back to Kidman when they finally put the Torrie angle to bed. Apparantly he won the match with that old cruiserweight standby 'the chokeslam'.

 

No womens match should have been booked for sunday, they needed to call up some of the women they have under contract to make their debuts in the next couple of weeks instead of putting Stacy in there. Stacy's a non-athlete, never mind a non-wrestler, its an insult to the hard work the talented females in the company have put in to their jobs. You have to feel sorry for Trish, she's constantly being thrown between proper matches and bikini contests, there's no way she will be able to carry Stacy to anything remotely watchable. The division's on its last legs and if Stacy wins it really does kill off any credibility the title has managed to establish.

 

I was always a sucker for that old 'mystery partner' thing and you could imagine Rey Jr doing some kind of dance routine with Rikishi, Brian Christopher is the other obvious choice, i wonder whether the crowd would ever eat that routine up in the same kind of way they did a couple of years ago?

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

I might be crazy and delusional, but that sounds like a decent idea.  It's not like Rikishi's doing anything else.

That would ruin Chuck & Billy.  They're doing fine w/out Rikishi in there messing thing up.

Ugh.  That'd turn Rey into a joke right off the bat.  Not a good idea.

 

And I don't particularly want to see Brian Christopher ever again.

[Guest The Mighty Damaramu]

Am I the only one that still thinks this division sucks? Jazz is mediocre at best.

 

You are not alone my friend....not alone.

 

 

I wonder who the mystery man is? Rey Jr. or Shannon Moore?

[Guest crandamaniac]

The two then got personal with Triple H telling Edge to win a few WWE titles first and Edge came back by saying that the only way he got the top was by sleeping with the boss' daughter.

Don't you like shoot comments that aren't meant to be shoot comments?

[Guest What?!]

Rikishi's Mystery Partner will be...

 

Bubba Ray Dudley.

 

Because they're both fat and dance. Sure, they haven't exactly crossed paths recently, but it makes "WWE" sense for them to partner up. Plus, if they wanted it to look like a smart pick by Rikishi, just have them explain that Rikishi wanted someone with lots of tag team experience and yadda yadda yadda.

[Guest bsrizpac]

This looks like a steamping pile of shit. I think I'm skipping it and going out to the pub.

[Guest treble charged]

Why would Stacy want D-Von in her corner?  How could she forget about them putting her through a table?  It just happened 6 weeks ago, hell, it was in the same damn building that SmackDown was in!  Stupid shit like that pisses me off.

Well, first it would help if Buh Buh & Rikishi were on the same roster.. you know.

[Guest]

Smackdown looks watchable this week. Except for having to see Vinnie the Lech drool over **insert bimbo here**, the show sounds tolerable.

 

Uh, is Triple H turning heel? That World Title comment he gave to Edge sounds pretty heelish. Or maybe Edge is turning heel. I dunno, man....

I'm just going with "WWE" logic where there is none.

[Guest The Fett]

Maybe one of the Island Boys will be Rikishi's partner. I believe one of them is injured so the other one can go ahead and team with Rikishi until the injury heals.

[Guest the 1inch punch]

WWE logic? Where?

 

Anyway, the mystery partner will more than likely be lawler's kid, but i hope not

 

As for who is fucking with the Hurricane(STAND BACK, THERES A NEW CHAMION COMING THROUGH), methinks its Rey, even though i hate the guy
