*Smackdown Spoilers* for 8/18

Recommended Posts

I'm headed up North for tommorow's Smackdown and am so excited that I decided to start a Smackdown! spoiler thread. Hope I didn't get anyone's hope up that Montreal was a Supershow or anything. Anyone else going to the ACC Tuesday? I got cheap seats and will probably be wicked drunk, but I'm expecting a good time.

Tried this once and got yelled at. Yell at him. Also, the mods really hated those off-topic threads didn't they? They were so great, though.

SPOILAGE~!

Dark Matches:

 

Bobby Wesley beat Johnny Jeter.

 

Vito beat some jobber. Nunzio was supposed to defend the Cruiserweight belt against him, but he said the jobber had to get through Vito first. Of course, Vito squashed him. After the match, Nunzio said the guy did a good job and that he could have a title match next week. But then he said he'll give it to him now. Two dropkicks and it was over.

 

Then, Romero and Mathews came out for Velocity commentary.

 

Velocity:

 

Mathews interviewed William Regal. He asked why he turned on Scotty 2 Hotty. He said his mother told him never to trust a man with blonde hair and a black mustache, which got a laugh. He then went on to say that he'd gone soft over the years, and that he was going back to his old self. Scotty then came out, got beat on by Regal for a bit then turned the tables on him. Scotty then went for the Worm and Regal bailed.

 

Ken Kennedy beat a local jobber. He kept mentioning he was from the US which got lots of heat, and referred to himself as Mr. Kennedy.

 

Hardcore Holly beat Steven Richards in a pretty good match. Might be the Velocity main event.

 

Smackdown:

 

SD opens with a ladder in the ring. Eddie comes out, and he got a huge pop and the crowd started a pretty loud "Eddie" chant. He said Teddy Long was right to make the only match that could settle this: a ladder match. He then went on to say that he is going to be the one to climb the ladder and get the papers, and he was going to win this match for all the fathers out there. Also he said that Dominick would become the greatest Guerrero of all and that this Sunday, he was going home with Eddie.

 

Melina and Mercury beat Booker and Sharmelle when Jillian tripped Sharmelle when she was about to do the scissors kick.

 

They played Chris Benoit's Finger Eleven video. Then they showed Sharmelle and Booker backstage, where Sharmelle asked Booker where he was during the match (Mercury held his leg while Melina pinned Sharmelle) and she went on to say that she was there for him 24/7 and he better step up.

 

Then they showed Benoit warming up backstage and OJ came and said he better be ready for Summerslam. Then they showed Animal and Heidenreich backstage and Animal said it was time for Heidenreich to take the final step... And then gave him LOD shoulder pads. The whole crowd groaned.

 

Animal and Heidenreich squashed a couple jobbers. Candice was the guest ring announcer. She looked hot. She was the highlight of the match. They were announced as the Legion of Doom. Hawk must've rolled over in his grave.

 

Then Funaki interviewed JBL. JBL said Batista was stupid for letting him pick the No Holds Barred stipulation. He then went on to guarantee a win at SummerSlam, and said he gets to pick an opponent for a No Holds Barred match tonight, and that he chose Funaki.

 

JBL faced Funaki in the NHB match and destroyed him. Right before he was about to beat him, Batista came out and beat JBL with a chair. He said that since JBL was making guarantees, he'd make one of his own: He said "this million dollar body and 5 cent brain would kick his ass at SummerSlam".

 

Rey Mysterio faced Simon Dean. On his way to the ring, Simon told Rey he looked pathetic and that he could help. He said that because his family is shrinking, he offered to give him the Simon System at half off. During the match, we did the wave!! Anyway, Rey won with the top rope legdrop in a pretty short match. Rey seemed very upset throughout the whole match and wasn't very enthusiastic.

 

The Peep Show was next, and Christian came out to a HUGE pop. He said if you thought last week's show was great when he interviewed Batista, this week he was going to interview the man who kicked Batista's ass last week: himself. Then the Mexicools came out and started to destroy his set. They then proceeded to beat the hell out of Christian when he tried to stop them. Then the Mexicools all sat on the couch and they said their catch phrase about not being Mexican, but being Mexicools. Christian then left to a big ovation.

 

Josh Mathews interviewed Rey and he said that he sees Eddie everywhere he goes. He then called Eddie a son of a bitch and reminded us of how Eddie told Dominick he loved him and was coming home with him. Rey then said that Eddie may be Dominick's biological father, but Rey raised him and he was his family. Then he said at Summerslam, Dominick is coming home with him.

 

Randy Orton beat Chris Benoit in a Summerslam 2004 rematch, which took place in this arena. After the match, the lights went out and The Undertaker appeared. He chokeslammed him and ran his hand across his throat. He then left the ring with Orton laid out. They stared each other down as SmackDown went off the air.

 

 

eh.

If Assrape wins the title, this sunday, I will never watch SD!, again. Period.

 

 

 

 

Plus, why is Benoit constantly forced to put over Blandy Boreton, again?

-------------------------------------

That's all the matches in a 2 hour show? And the LoD squash probably was 30 seconds max.

 

I'll check out Orton/Benoit grudgingly. Rest is bg noise.

It'll be interesting to see how good Benoit vs Orton is this time around. Their Raw match from last year was the MOTY from what I saw. That's going to be tough to beat.

Law of Inverse PPV Wins says Benoit finally achieves his weeks-long dream of holding the secondary title on the company's B-show.

Man. They run an angle where Regal goes back to his roots, which seems to imply stiffness and 31 flavors of elbows and knees, and then they let Worm-Boy get the better of him. Fuck.

I agree with wildpegasus. The Benoit vs Orton rematch the RAW after Summerslam was also my choice for one of the best matches of the year. Benoit made Orton look like a million bucks, and they blew the Summerslam match out of the water (with the lone downside being the dirty win by Orton).

Are the Mexicools turning face? Because it was a heelish thing to do to Christian, yes, but outside of Canada, Christian is a heel.

 

Hey! Maybe Christian will be the next Matt Hardy and go into the cruiser division. Sweet!

Yeah, that's true it was definitely better than Slam but we have to give props to Summerslam for allowing the Raw match to be so great. It was the backdrop needed not only for cool spots that played off of Summerslam but for all out intense Benoit obliberating the lucky hanging on to the title by the thread Randy Orton. Great roleplaying in the Raw match.

 

 

There's no story going into this Smackdown match that I know of going into this match so they got that against them as compared to last year but they should still be able to pull out a very fun match.

JN, I too am slightly worried about some sort of stupid shock title change on Sunday. In my opinion jobbing Batista to fucking JBL in his hometown would for all intents kill his career. Hell, jobbing him to Hassan would have been possibly worse, but there is no way Batista should lose to this guy.

 

Smackdown desperately needs a new direction, one not involving Bradshaw hanging around in the main event well past his expiration date.

Benoit/Orton is ok. It starts off good enough with them working a headlock spot for the first5 minutes, then Benoit tries to get the sharpshooter on and the match sorta loses its format after that, with both guys "tired" but not really busting out any big moves until the end.

 

Post Show was Taker/Batista vs. JBL/Orton, the highlight of which was Taker soupboning it up. Taker was over huge.

I'll do a full-on report soon but Taker was fuckin OVAH, The Cap'n was runnin' shit hardcore until the Mexicools came out, Big Dave's pyro is loud and scary when you're 20 feet away and Taker hung out with an MMA-esque posse next to me and Rudo backstage.

"this million dollar body and 5 cent brain would kick his ass at SummerSlam".

 

Whoever came up with that should be shot in the neck.

 

 

I'm assuming that is how JBL referred to Batista in an earlier promo, not a catchphrase that Batista came up with.

Question for Rudo and Curry...

 

I was at the July 4th Supershow (infamous Hassan/Taker angle). This question is about Batista's entrance music. At first, I wasn't feeling it. However, after hearing it live with Big Dave there for the visual, is his new song more over for you?

 

Goofy question, I know, but that song just really works for Batista.

I wonder why...

Since Orton didn't get over the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time Benoit tried to get him over then this time it might work.

Last year they pushed Orton about as hard as anyone could be pushed and the guy still didn't stay over on a sustained level. HHH pretty much put the gun to his head last Sept.

 

This Benoit thing is puzzling. Why is this man being so mercilessly buried? Jobbing to Orton isn't that big of a deal, but jobbing to him and also Orlando Jordan? I'm assuming they'll at least give him the US title at SS.

 

I'm telling you, SS needs to be Cabinet jobbing night. If I don't see both JBL and Jordan on their backs come Sunday it's time to start the boycott.
