Smackdown:

 

- A video recap of Eddie telling Rey's "secret" started the show.

 

- Smackdown opened with a Christian talk-show segment (ala Piper's Pit, Highlight Reel, Carlito's Cabana, etc.) called the "Peep Show" with Rey Mysterio as the guest. Christian started to question Rey, but Mysterio cut him off and said that Christian had promised him that Eddie Guerrero would be there. Christian then introduced Guerrero, who appeared on the screen wearing a T-Shirt that said "I'm your Papi". Guerrero started to read "Chapter 2" of his bedtime story for Dominic, but Rey kept yelling to stop him. Guerrero said he was going to read Chapter 2 by the end of the show, one way or another. Guerrero also said he had something Rey would really like, and Christian hit Rey from behind with the mic and laid him out.

 

- Jillian Hall cut a promo saying her mole has put a "blemish on her soul", trying to put heat on it. She was saying fans shouldn't look away from her because of it. She walked past Booker T and Sharmell, with Booker looking at her and remarking "Tell me I didn't just see that".

 

- MNM defeated Chris Benoit and Booker T in a real good match. The finish saw Benoit lock the Crippler Crossface on Johnny Nitro on the floor while Booker fought Joey Mercury in the ring. Booker went for the ax kick on Mercury, but Melina grabbed his leg as he came off the ropes. Sharmell chased Melina into the ring, but Jillian Hall tackled Sharmell and they started a catfight. Booker threw Hall off of Sharmell, but it allowed Mercury to roll up Booker from behind and hook the trunks for the pin. There was a huge chant for Benoit after the match.

 

- Theodore R. Long informed Christian that he would face Rey Mysterio tonight.

 

- A video package was shown on how JBL became the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Title.

 

- Josh Mathews tried to interview Randy Orton, but Orton blew him off and said he would explain his actions to the Undertaker himself tonight.

 

- They had the Batista-JBL contract signing for Summerslam. They went back and forth on the mic, and Batista finally signed first. However, Batista left the stipulations blank, saying he would beat JBL in any type of match. JBL said Batista had a "Million dollar body and a nickel brain". JBL said he would beat Batista at Summerslam, and it would be in a No Holds Barred match.

 

- Psicosis & Super Crazy defeated William Regal & Scotty 2 Hotty. Scotty was beat down, and when he went to tag Regal, Regal jumped off the apron and walked off. After getting a ton of heat on Scotty, Psicosis pinned him with a top rope legdrop while Regal watched from the aisle.

 

- Backstage, Road Warrior Animal was painting his face while Heidenreich was saying he loved his new haircut. They teased that he would have his face painted next.

 

- Randy Orton came to the ring for a promo. He said that fate caused him to lose his chance at immortality, but now it has put him on Smackdown. He said that Undertaker took away what he wanted, so he's going to take everything that he can from the Undertaker. Orton issued a challenge for Undertaker to face him at Summerslam. Undertaker's music played, and a purple light enveloped the ring. The letters "RKO" appeared on the Titantron. The Undertaker's voice rang out, saying "You want a legacy, you will get your wish. At Summerslam, you will rest in peace". The RKO on the screen turned into "RIP". The crowd booed at the end of the segment when Undertaker didn't appear before the crowd.

 

- WWE Tag Team Champions Road Warrior Animal & Heidenreich defeated Josh Daniels & Damian Adams. Heidenreich had Road Warrior-style makeup on.

 

- A Boogeyman promo was shown.

 

- Eddie Guerrero was outside when a woman showed up. Guerrero said he was thrilled to see her because without her, there is no Chapter 2.

 

- Rey Mysterio defeated Christian with the 619 in a good match. Eddie Guerrero and the woman sat in chairs in the aisle. Rey challenged Eddie to get in the ring. Eddie said he would love to, but he has "manners" because an old friend, Anna, is with him. Rey looked shocked at the mention of her name. Anna took Eddie's story book and gave it to Rey, and Eddie said that he can read it, or Eddie will. Rey looked at the book, but didn't read anything over the mic. Eddie said that Rey was holding official custody papers and Rey will have to bring Dominic next week, because the courts have determined that Eddie is the true father, biologically and legally. He said that next week, Rey will have to hand Dominic over to Eddie. Eddie said that if Rey proves he truly loves Dominic, maybe Eddie will let Rey keep him.

 

- Rey cut a long, good promo about how much he loves Dominic. He said that they all promised to wait until Dominic was old enough to understand, but Eddie had to open his mouth. Rey said Dominic is depressed and begged Eddie not to hurt him anymore. Eddie said that Rey was good, and "almost had him". Anna said something to Eddie, and Guerrero said that Anna is his attorney and reminded Eddie not to fall for it. Guerrero said that after Rey lied all this time to Dominic, the courts will never trust him to care for Eddie's son. He said that he has three daughters he loves, and next week he will have Dominic to carry on the Guerrero legacy. Guerrero said that next week we would hear Chapter 3 of his story, "Dominic comes home to Papi", to end Smackdown.

Holy crap for Nunzio winning the title!

 

Mysterio / Christian = awesome!

[Exslade ZX 0]

Well, my fantasy predictions now, always seem to suck ass. When I drop someone, they seem to then win (MNM, Conway), then when I chose someone..they dont do shit (Viscera, Melina) Damnit.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Yeah, I dropped MNM and Christian for Booker and LOD 2005.

[bob_barron 0]

I almost went to this show. Seeing Paul London lose the title would've traumatised me.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Updated.

 

Thank God for the NHB stip for Batista/JBL.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Is it wrong for me to, now that Nunzio is Cruiserweight Champion, want him to bring back the members of the FBI that accompanied him to the ring at One Night Stand?

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

What's the main gonna be? Rey/X?

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

A wrestler with a 5-18 record wins a title.

A wrestler with a 5-22 record main events.

 

And why do y'all start topics on "Why WWE sucks?"

 

So much for London, his credibility is now shot. "That jobber beat me! Protest!"

 

I hope Christian/Rey is all kinds of good, still.

[Golgo 13 0]

Kinda lame. I like Nunzio and all, but he's pretty much on the same level as Funaki when he won the belt.

[Angle-plex 0]

So WHY exactly did Christian attack Rey?

[CanadianChris 0]

So WHY exactly did Christian attack Rey?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Because heels attack faces?

[Exslade ZX 0]

I really would like to know what they're doing with Regal/Mexicools? Because I mean..it seems like they've been hinting something between them and Regal since their debut..and I just can't figure out what the hell it is.

 

Are they gonna team up because they're foreigners or what? I can see REgal with sunglasses and a bandanna on now, calling people 'bloody gringos' >_>

Maybe Regal tries to bring some "British Class" to the Mexicools...making them look more "Sophisticated"

 

...you know, like he did with Bobby Eaton back in 1995 WCW to make "The Earl of Eaton"

[Aero 0]

As much as I like London, I don't mind Nunzio winning the belt, at all. They had an awesome match last Saturday, anyway.

 

- Paul London cut a promo in the ring, saying he wanted everyone to march in protest to WWE Headquarters because he lost the Cruiserweight Title to "Two criminals".

 

I don't know what to think about that... it's just weird for the face to encourage such a protest... not to mention PAUL LONDON gets to cut a promo, although it might not even be long at all.

[Slickster 0]

Kinda lame. I like Nunzio and all, but he's pretty much on the same level as Funaki when he won the belt.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Well, he's a decent guy who can work heel or face depending on the opponent. I'd have him beat London at SSlam, have London beat Big Vito at No Mercy, then have London finally get the big win at SSeries.

[bob_barron 0]

Stop that.

 

I'm glad I didn't go, this show sounds awful.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Updated... I assume all that's left is Rey/Christian.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Animal's gonna turn soon.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

OK...

 

Heidenreich has the paint, the hair...

 

Next week, the pads?

[Human Fly 0]

What is the point of having Animal and Heidenreich win the titles and then have them only beat jobbers?

 

If they wanted to sell DVDs they could have done this and not devalued the tag titles even worse than already.

 

MNM has a good match with Benoit and Booker while the Champs are wrestling guys like this it is 1991 and on Wrestling Challenge.

[Aero 0]

I assume LOD 2005 are only facing jobbers because the only other team is MNM, and it would be pointless to bury them time after time.

 

EDIT: There are the Mexicools, and bWo, but I wouldn't say they're the right opponents for LOD if they are going to keep the belts on them. Mexicools are still being pushed, and face vs. face matches wouldn't be right.

Looks like a decent show, I'm even more shocked a title change happened on VELOCITY?!!

[SuperJerk 0]

- MNM defeated Chris Benoit and Booker T in a real good match. The finish saw Benoit lock the Crippler Crossface on Johnny Nitro on the floor while Booker fought Joey Mercury in the ring. Booker went for the ax kick on Mercury, but Melina grabbed his leg as he came off the ropes. Sharmell chased Melina into the ring, but Jillian Hall tackled Sharmell and they started a catfight. Booker threw Hall off of Sharmell, but it allowed Mercury to roll up Booker from behind and hook the trunks for the pin. There was a huge chant for Benoit after the match.

 

WWE: Benoit still gets pops even without a push...let's job him out!

[Human Fly 0]

They might as well team up Doug Basham and Sylvain Grenier. I do not think Sylvain has been on tv since the trade and I only remember seeing Danny Basham on Raw during the lumberjack match.

 

If they would have kept Dupree (and teamed him w/Sylvain) and Danny Basham on SD the tag scene would be 5 times better.

 

Too bad about Matt Cappotelli. I bet the Thrillseekers would have been called up soon and been thrown into a feud with MNM. Now we will probably have to endure Road Warriors 2005 for another 2 months.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

"MNM are becoming jobbers and need more credibility"

 

"Way to have Benoit job to MNM, WWE!"

 

Freakin minds... make them up, people.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

I don't think the bWo thing is going to be around anymore...Meanie's not on the Superstars page, yet Jillian and Matt Hardy have been added, including bios and everything.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

Now that Conway has some kind of direction/character on Raw, I'm hoping to see Doug Basham get some screen time on SD.

[cabbageboy 0]

Yeah you'd think they might put a title change on the actual MAIN SHOW, but I'm not sure what the Smackdown bookers are thinking of late. Why can't they do a US title change on Velocity as well?

 

Am I the only one thinking it'd make Eddie and Rey both look like jobbers if Christian won tonight? I mean Rey has beaten Eddie like 6 times this year and wouldn't beat a guy with a 5-20 record? And Eddie of course would look like a huge jobber for losing to Rey all those times while Christian steps right in and wins.

[Aero 0]

Yeah, you're probably right about the bWo, especially since Stevie apparently just got injured again, and since they seem to want to keep Simon Dean around.
