BorneAgain 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 From PWI VELOCITY TAPING: William Regal & Sylvan over Amish Roadkill & Casey James w/ Michelle McCool. Road Warrior over Paul Birchell w/ a lady friend (?). Bobby Lashley over TJ Dalton. Gregory Helms over Mike Altiri (?). Mike Altiri announced from Cincinnati but appears to be Mikey Batts formerly of TNA. Matt Hardy over Orlando Jordan. SMACKDOWN TAPING: Smackdown opened when Rey Mysterio came out to talk about being champ. JBL came out and confronted him. JBL mentions the illegal immigrant protests. blah blah blah - JBL says that he beat both him & Eddie. Rey says that he doesn't back down from a fight. JBL brings out Rey's opponent for tonight: Mark Henry. Mark Henry left the ring after a staredown so apparently that is the main event. Booker T over Gunner Scott. Booker got on top of the announce table after the match and said too bad Angle got hurt because he was going to beat him. Kendrick & London v. MNM was announced for the belts but MNM came through the crowd from behind and took them out. Vignette shown on Tatanka featuring a "cleansing" ceremony with the Lakota nation. Another vignette promised for next week. Tatanka previously announced these at the WM22 breakfast in Chicago. KOTR: Finlay over Chris Benoit - mostly technical mat work but pretty good. Gymini w/ Simon Dean over Scotty 2 Hotty & Funaki. #1 Contender match for Cruiserweight Title: Nunzio v. Kid Kash v. Super Crazy - No Contest after Great Khali took them all out. Mark Henry w/ JBL over Rey Mysterio. DARK MATCH: Time for the dark main event, and what was locally advertised as the main event, JBL v. Mark Henry v. Rey Mysterio. The match saw Rey pin JBL.

Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted May 3, 2006 Road Warrior over Paul Birchell w/ a lady friend (?). Why is that fat piece of trash going over Burchill? I thought he was done with wrestling. Because he was the better wrestler that night and either out smarted or outworked Burchill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 If they are actually trying to actively push this Gymini/Dean team, it would make some sense if they put some people together who've teamed before... Oh wait... That's fairly impossible in the WWE these days. EDIT: ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benn 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 Yeah, not like they would bother to remember that London already won the #1 contendership. I was gonna say exactly the same thing.

randomguy 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 Awesome Michelle McCool is still around. Figured she had been quietly let go. Out of all the women they've found in the diva search she seemed like the one who was actually athletic and coordinated in some way. Hopefully she didn't get giant implants. Burchill was so cool when they first called him up, they have got to change his gimmick. "I like to beat people up and now I can get paid for it" was so great. Pirate? Not so much.

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 SD already has a guy with that gimmick, though. Burchill also has more personality to do something other then a generic "I light to fight" gimmick. I still insist on a Benoit led quasi 4H group with Albright, Burchill and Smith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
