OAO Smackdown Thread - October/6th/2006.

One Last Message.

No Mercy will be just days away when Smackdown rolls into Topeka, KS. What can we expect to see as the Smackdown superstars make their last statements before the pay-per-view?

 

Harmful if swallowed, Smackdown superstars "Pick Their Poison".

King Booker and Bobby Lashley will battle for the World Heavyweight Championship in Raleigh, but before that happens they will each have to battle an opponent of the other's choice in the first ever Smackdown "Pick Your Poison." Both have elected to create a match-up of friend .VS. friend, as King Booker chose Batista as Lashley's opponent, while Lashley decided to pit The King against his most pugnacious knight, Finlay. Finlay has already made it clear that he will not lay down for anyone, even his benevolent King, and "The Animal" never holds back against anyone. With No Mercy just around the corner, will the Champion or the No.1 Contender send the bigger message? How will these contests affect the health of King Booker and Lashley before they battle for the gold at No Mercy?

 

A Beautiful Mind Game.

Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero will finally settle their ongoing family squabbles in a Falls Count Anywhere Match at No Mercy, but before they do, both will likely be in action on Smackdown. Last week we saw Vickie Guerrero get physically involved in the outcome of a match for the first time since forging a business partnership with Chavo. What underhanded schemes will the Guerreros emply this week? Will the mind games continue as Chavo and Vickie look to secure a psychological advantage over an apparently rested and refocused Rey Mysterio just days before No Mercy?

 

Undertaker Declares.

How will Mr. Kennedy respond to Undertaker's demonic guarantee that he will show no mercy and that Kennedy would rest in peace at No Mercy? Kennedy's attempts to butter up "The Phenom" with a so-called tribute failed miserably, as a clearly shaken Kennedy attempted to bow out of the match. Last week "The Deadman" used an exploding microphone to haunt Mr. Kennedy. Will Undertaker ride to Smackdown again?

 

Streaks, Debuts, and Rednecks - Oh My!

"The Miz" improved his undefeated record to 5-0 with a win over Tatanka. Will his fast start continue? Meanwhile, poor Jimmy Wang Yang showed every indication that he deserves to be a Smackdown superstar, but couldn't secure a win over the crafty Frenchman, Sylvan. Will the redneck's luck rebound? Finally, will we hear from Montel Vontavious Porter before his long-awaited debut at No Mercy? After finally ending his holdout, it was announced last week that MVP would finally step into the squared circle. Will we learn his opponent? Will he have a message?

 

With just days remaining until the scores are settled at No Mercy, Smackdown will provide the superstars their final stage to send a message and attempt to creep into the heads of their opponents. See what happens Friday night at 8pm/7pm CT on Smackdown's new home, the CW Network.

The show just finished over here, solid as usual. Batista no-selling a low blow by Little Bastard was stupid but he was quicker and more fluid than he has been since that beatdown of Mark Henry.

 

Kennedy cut a fantastic promo as well.

[Prime Time Andrew Doyle 0]

JBL was on fire during the Tatanka/Matt Hardy Match

 

"All of Helm's & Hardy's family and friends will be there. Their girlfriends and ex-girlfriends will be in attendence, of course all of Matt's ex-girlfriends will be with Edge"

A good Smackdown tonight. Great to see Finlay beat Booker, but the match was too short. I'm looking forward to the fatal four way at No Mercy. Kennedy's promo was good.

 

Overall, a good show.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Um, this thread is SUPPOSSED to be mostly for the first run people, Wrestlefreak.

 

As in, keep spoilers away if possible.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

No offense, but what the fuck? Am I stuck in a time warp of some kind? It's just starting for me.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Vicki Guerrero's been borrowing pants from Lita, I see.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Caught the end of opening tag, looked good. Logically, Rey deserves a Cruiser Title shot. I woulda liked to see Helms beat Rey during Rey's "losing streak" and gain a little legitimacy for his reign.

[Celtic Guardian 0]

Someone tell the financial genius that double 619 is 1238, not 1228.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

YES HERE COME TERKAY AND BURKE

He pays someone to do his math dammit!

The "Big Bear" Terkay...anyone got the Super Troopers song in mind for him..."He's Big Bear!"

[foleyfanforever88 0]

I really hope this doesnt mean what I think it means.

Why is Burke doing Kennedy's gig

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

Finlay's accent isn't as strong as it was in his promos before he came back.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

How come JBL never does these advertisers announcements?

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

He pays someone to make those announcements!

 

I've been listening to JBL too much.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

My memory's bad, so I'm not too sure on the answer, but how many times has Mr. Kennedy wrestled on RAW? Is it really a "family reunion" for him?

Was he in that handicap match against DX that one night? If so, then once.

Yeah. I was there.

 

It was Finlay, Regal and Kennedy against DX.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Did I just see IRS as one of the guys holding the wrestlers back?

Yeah that's what I thought. Just wanted outside confirmation.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

Yang has to pull another watchable match out of this load? Yuck.

I came into this thread to ask the very same thing. If that wasn't Mike Rotundo then it was someone who looked a hell of a lot like him.

MVP would be great if all he does is JOB

[ChrisMWaters 0]

I'd love it if his opponent was Chris Benoit.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Michelle's in the running to take Terri Runnels' old "Skeletor" title if she gets any thinner.

[Downhome 0]

I've been thinking for a while now that MVP's gimmick should be that he's just not as great as he says he is, not even close. Have him job a few times, maybe even have him act like a goof in the ring, falling down and tripping a bit, that sort of thing. Build it with Teddy Long getting pissed that he even signed him, and every now and then have him make comments about how that's the last time he ever signs someone without watching tapes first.

 

It would be funny if WWE hired the guy to eventually just be a manager, and they are just doing this to introduce him in an interesting way.
