Kurt Angle Mark 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2006 UPDATE: Got a full report from pwinsider.com We are live in Washington, DC with Smackdown spoilers before Raw airs. Matt Hardy and Animal vs. MNM. Hardy with twist of fate, two count. Animal kicks Johnny Nitro out and hits the Doomsday Device. It's broken up. MNM win by pinfall. Animal turned on Hardy, blaming him for the loss and proceeds to kick his ass outside the ring before returning to the back. Then, he came back and worked on Matt's knee against the ring post. He went to the back to a chant of "You suck!" Randy Orton b Super Crazy in a good match The building is packed to the top. Some tix were available at box office today. Nothing is tarped off. There was a Hall of Fame video with Bret Hart and Eddie Guerrero. There were lots of Eddie chants. Finlay vs. Lashley was next. Tony Chimmel called him Bobby Lashley. Finlay gets pissed and throws chairs in the ring. Lashley was DQ'd after hitting Finlay with a chair. It turned into an all-out brawl, and refs and security come out. Lashley kicked the snot out of Finlay, up through the aisle as well. Security couldn't break them apart. The crowd was HOT for Lashley. William Regal put Paul Birchall down for being a pirate. Paul's first match is next week. Benoit vs. JBL signed for Wrestlemania Now it's time for Kurt Angle vs. Undertaker. There was not a big ovation for Angle. HUGE pop for Taker. It started with Angle hitting punches in the corner. Taker came back with punches of his own. Taker chased the ref out of the ring. Angle worked Taker's arm. Taker went for old school and Angle countered with a knock off the rope. There there were chants of "Let's go Angle/Let's go Taker". Angle hit 7 punches to head. Taker tried for The Last Ride, but couldn't get it. He knocked Angle off apron. Outside the ring now, Angle was thrown into steps. There was great back and forth action all the way through. Then, Taker called for the Tombstone but Mark Henry ran in for a DQ on Angle. Henry continued to beat on Taker over at the Spanish Announce Table. The crowd booed big time. Angle went to the back. Henry got major boos. People were legitimately pissed at the DQ finish. It was such a great match but a lame ass finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dam(o)nYankees Report post Posted February 28, 2006 I took some notes tonight. The T's were super over, so was Boogeyman. Tatanka, no so much, but not heatless or anything. Approximately three dozen chops in the 8 minute match. Orton and Super Crazy was okay. I think orton has new music. MNM match was okay, went about ten minutes. Finish was a clusterfuck from my vantage point. may have looked better by ringside. They were going for the Device, Matt got his leg clipped, and Animal appeared to fall off the top rope do to this leg clipping. In other news, the Matt Hardy character is SUCH a loser. Lashley was very over, and the Finlay postmatch brawl was great. Match was two minutes, if that. The main started slow and got much better. They incorporated alot of spots from the last match in. Crowd was pissed at the finish. And "beat into the Spanish announce table isn't totally accurate. Henry laid Taker on the American table, stood on the Spanish table and jumped across and splashed him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2006 Thankfully now with YouTube I can just watch Benoit/JBL and Rey/Orton/Angle the day after instead of wasting my money on what looks to be a fucking horrid WrestleMania. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2006 I hope Lashley Vs. Finley happens at Wrestlemania. Lashley could prove the smark world wrong, by having a good non-squash match wit a very good wrestler in Finley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aero 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2006 Okay, Benoit-JBL is actually something I want to see at WM. As for Taker-Henry, yikes. I wouldn't even mind it as much had they not done it a few weeks ago on Smackdown, especially since Taker "did the impossible" by Tombstoning him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2006 I'm guaran-damn-teeing that they will have a spot in Henry/Taker where Taker slaps the triangle choke on Henry only to be picked up and powerbombed to break the hold. Taker's hung out with Matt Hughes so it's only logical that he'd rip off one of his more famous fights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
