Smackdown (*Spoilers*) for 03/30/07

[Kurt Angle Mark 0]

by Xavier Hernandez

 

Smackdown opens up with edge coming and talking about mitb. He is supposed

to face matt hardy, who comes and interupts him, but edge says he has a

replacement, and Great Khali comes to face matt. He hits the two-hand

chokeslam, and fire comes out of the posts. Kane a ppears in the titatrons,

saying that the time is near, as khali leaves the ring.

 

Teddy L. is showing talking in is office with kristal. They talk about some

celebration with champagne and some stuff like that. I really didn't get

the segment well.

 

Finlay def. Mr. Kennedy

Back and forth action from both man. Not much crowd reaction until finlay

distracted the ref. Hornswoggle, came witha small ladder, and did his

version of the kenton bomb on ken, and then finlay hits the celtic cross.

Crowd reacted well to the bastard.

 

MVP def. Unknown

MVp referred to this guy as the champion of eutopia or something like that.

He looked kinda cannival. and skinny. MVP hits the Playmaker for the win,

and starts saying he will be the next us champion.

 

Jeff Hardy def. Randy Orton

Orton controlled most of the match, and jeff pulled up his signature moves

too. Better than their singles match from raw last week. Edge comes again to

distract orton and jeff pins him with a roll up. Crowd was really into this

match, specially cheering jeff

 

10-diva tag team match

Ashley,Maria,Candice,Torrie,Mickie def. Melina,Victoria,Jillian, Kristal,

Michelle Mccool.

Typical divas match. The heels worked a lot on mickie, until all the hot

tags for candice, torrie and maria who performed their signature moves.

Aslhley got the final tag and won with a rollup.

 

Cm Punk def. King BOOker.

Crowd was behind booker. I think it was a very good main event. Booker goes

for the scissors kick, but punk moves and wins with a rollup (lost of rollup

victories on this show)

 

JBL came to the ring to do the interview of batista/undertaker. Out of

nowhere STONE COLD's musci hits, and the people go nuts, (including me). He

comes, and gives JBL a stunner, then drinks two beers per corner and gives

jbl another stunner. Awesome segment.

 

Teddy long comes with many security guards to do the interview himself. He

brings both batista and taker, and both got huge pops. Batista says he

already lost respect to taker, and taker remains silent. they they start

brawling, with the security, and batista gives taker a huge spinebuster, he

leaves, but taker sits up! Very good segment to warm the match for WM23.

Punk over Booker clean gives me hope that Punk's winning this Sunday.

Why? Did i miss something? Apart from the interaction at last years Saturday Night Main Event?

 

But apart from that it all sounds good.

Austin's bugging me the same way Foley bugs me with the appearances, but at least Foley is putting on a match every so often.

[cabbageboy 0]

Lushus, I think we all know Austin is completely useless at this point.

 

I have to wonder about this MITB match. Given that everyone has beaten each other up, is Edge likely to now win this thing? Personally I think that would be lame, since Edge can just get a title shot whenever he wants. That should be the decision behind who to have win the MITB. Who is the guy that needs the win most since he wouldn't otherwise get a title shot?

 

Edge: Already a 2 time world champ. He could get a title shot against the Cena/Michaels winner whenever he felt like asking.

 

Orton: Rumors are that he's fucked up again in the back and may be getting buried again. Orton has done so much jobbing to Cena and Michaels that there's really no intrigue in either match. He's the spoiler who will cost Edge, but that's about it.

 

Finlay: He was in the match last year and had no shot. Ditto this year. Just a solid veteran guy to keep it going.

 

Matt and Jeff Hardy: They are just in this for crazy spots. Neither has any hope of winning. We'll probably get a spot with both near the briefcase and they fight though. Nobody would buy either guy having the MITB anyway.

 

Booker: Booker does fit the notion of a guy who hasn't gotten another title shot, but he and Finlay have mostly been used as jobber fodder for UT and Batista. Booker's King gimmick is dying on the vine at this point anyway.

 

Kennedy: A few weeks ago he seemed like the clear cut choice, but there's just something that doesn't make sense about him winning. He's gotten several shots at Batista and Lashley and jobbed his ass off, so why would we think he deserves another shot anytime soon? He might still win, but it's a sign the bookers pussied out. Still, he's one of the few guys here that is adamant about winning and "MIIIISSSSTTERRR Money in the Bank" could have a ring to it.

 

CM Punk: Punk will be the most over guy in the match Sunday. He's also the guy that isn't likely to get a title shot on his current show (Lashley is also a face). My only hesitation here is that they wouldn't waste the MITB on a guy from ECW, but maybe Punk will switch shows.

 

I guess I'll still go with Kennedy winning it, but the better choice is Punk.

oh I know...the guy can't even cut a decent, coherent promo anymore.

Why was the crowd behind Booker? Just sounds really strange to me.

 

What site did you get these from?

I think that's a typo because Gerweck has these exact same spoilers up and has a further "Biggest pops" and "Most Heat" ranking and has Punk getting the biggest pop and Booker 5th most heel heat.

 

The show doesn't sound nearly as good as Raw was, but I'll tune in just to catch Punk vs Booker.

 

I'm disapppointed that they didn't add another match or two to WM. That leaves eight matches for the four hour PPV. With names like Carlito, Nitro, Flair, Helms, Masters, London, Kendrick, Chavo Guerrero being left off the card completely.

[Black Lushus 0]

hasn't it been 8 or less matches the last 2 WMs?

 

I think the days of 12 match WMs are long gone.

[bob_barron 0]

No London and Kendrick? Damnit, that sucks.

 

I think it's obvious that Edge is winning, I'm hyped for Booker-Punk though. Two of my favourite wrestlers

Wrestlemania 22 had 11 matches.

Wrestlemania 21 had 8 + Piper's Pit and the Hogan segment.

 

I think MITB and HBK v. Cena are going to go way long

[Black Lushus 0]

man, I must have really not been paying attention last year!

[Taker666 0]

sounds like an exciting show. This looks like a SmackDown before the brand extension with damn near every top guy in WWE appearing on the show.

 

They should of at least made a Triple-Threat Cruiserweight Title match for Mania involving Chavo, Helms and Yang. the Cruiserweight Title hasn't been defended at a WrestleMania sence 19. I think that will at least make WrestleMania more exciting IMO.

[luke-o 0]

I was just about to say add a match for the cruiserweight title.

 

They could have done the Smackdown tag titles, but they got rid of the other tag teams.

 

They could have done the Raw tag titles but Cena and Michael (for some stupid reason) still have the titles.

The Cruiserweight Title was defended at WrestleMania XX, in the Cruiserweight open.

 

Chavo was the champ

 

The other challengers were Mysterio, Tajiri, Akio (who didn't wrestle it), Billy Kidman, Nunzio, Jamie Noble, Funaki, Shannon Moore and Ultimo Dragon.

From what I hear, it doesn't have to do with what he had done in the back, but more so the steroid scandel and the fact he picked up 7 illegal substances.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

Why must Raw/Diva/Austin stuff pollute Smackdown? Looks like an up & down show.

Its all Wrestlemania hype. Raw and ECW had superstars from other brands aswell. by next week everything should be back to normal. at least SD! won't bore us with the battle of the billionaires crap.

can't forget the time Ultimo damn near slipped and fell on his face on the way out to othe ring.

Yeah, poor Ultimo.

 

I guess that Floor-Tron wasn't exactly non-slippery.

 

That, and the fact that I lost my voice singing Benoit's theme when he won the title (I was there live) were two things I remember from that show.

What kind of bumps has Hornswaggle taken, maybe he could do something memorable Sunday.

[Thanks for the Fish 0]

I want to see Finlay try and throw him up to the briefcase.

[Ace Austin 0]

I see them doing a spot where kennedy and jeff both do the Swanton bomb off the ladders seeing as how they have the same finisher

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

Better yet, Jeff lands his on someone and as he is selling the impact, Kennedy follows with his version on Jeff.

[Wrestlefreak 0]

Booker/Punk was good.

 

JBL was graat on commentary tonight, as always.

You mean you already saw it? How?

 

Smackdown is delayed for me until TOMORROW. ;_;

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Well..I know what a midget ladder match would look like.

 

Leprechaunton bomb?

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Lepreton Bomb is good stuff.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

MVP might want to get a strap for those sunglasses. They don't want to stay on his head.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

D RAY 3000!

 

Wow, running big boot into the corner. Rolling Germans! I'm now hyped for MVP vs Benoit.
