haws bah gawd 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2008 Smackdown spoiler Birmingham, AL It was a packed event last night with a good crowd. Everyone waited for the pyro to hit but it never came.....instead it was the Undertaker that came out. He got a huge ovation. He cut a 5 min promo on the Royal Rumble and when he was finished was interupted by Matt Striker and Big Daddy V. Striker asked Undertaker how he was going to win the Royal Rumble when Big Daddy V was in the Rumble. They fought for a minute and big daddy V retreated. Next up was Finley v.s. great Kahli. Good match for the two. A couple of good heavy shots delivered by both. Hornswoggle tried to help and ruin interference but it was no match for Kahli who ended up picking up the win in a clean finish. Winner Great Kahli. Shot of backstage of Finley sitting there with his head down, Vince McMahon came over (which he never was really there, it was pre-taped) and sayed that Finley has another chance next week on Smackdown in Belfast to take out the Great Kahli. Jimmy Yang Wang and Shannon Moore v.s. Deuce and Domino. This was ok...not really a crowd favorite but a few good spots in it. For most of the match, Deuce and Domino used sized and strength to their advantage and controlled most of the match until finally Shannon Moore was able to get the tag to Jimmy Wang Yang and it was a momentum swing from there. Many high risk moves and fast manuevers. Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore Pick up the win. VIP Lounge....MVP came out and talked about how Ric Flair was so great and ran through his credentials....Flair came out to a huge ovation. MVP told Flair that even though he was great, he would never be MVP great. Flair cut a promo and included Birmingham, AL which got a huge pop. Finally Flair chopped MVP over his couch in the ring and walked out looking ahead to the Royal Rumble. Batista v.s. Mark Henry-This was a great match, not so much for the action but from the crowd standpoint. Batista had one of the top pops the entire night. Mark Henry got control of the match about a quarter of the way into the match and they fought outside the ring for a while and after going to the well a few to many times, Batista got control of the match and landed a devestating spinebusters. It had the normal Mark Henry, Batista elements to it but it was a great match because of crowd participation. Batista picks up the win. Michelle McCool v.s. Layla. The match started off fairly slow with not to much crowd participation but about half way through, the crowd went crazy after a few really nice spots in the match and finally Michelle McCool hit a nice Finisher that was really well done. It was a decent match. Main Event- Edge and Chavo v.s. Cm Punk and Mysterio. This was a great match. The crowd was in it from beginning to end. There was a lot of great spots in the match with high flying to the outside of the ring, but also some great wrestling inside the ring. Edge and Chavo has control at first until Cm Punk tagged in Mysterio and the momentum swung rapidly. After a nice hurricaranna on Chavo into the ropes, the crowd finally got the 619 they were waiting on. Before Mysterio could end the match, Edge hit Mysterio with a chair causing a DQ. The major brothers came out and worked on Cm Punk and Mysterio. After the show went off the air, Undertaker and Batista hit the ring to help out Cm Punk and Mysterio and it became a one after another finsher sequence with Mysterio frog splashing Chavo for the finish.
