Frankie Williams 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 From Rajah: WWE taped this week's edition of Friday Night SmackDown from the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi. Below iare full taping results written exclusively by Richard Gray. Pre-Show Notes: - I am told that there is a briefcase on a cable hanging above the ring. Dark Match: Vladamir Kozlov b. Jamie Noble with some type of inverted clothesline maneuver WWE SmackDown (Air date 3/20) Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi Batista comes out to a huge pop from the crowd to open the show. (1) Batista b. Deuce & Domino in a total squash match. Batista hit a Batista Bomb on Domino to get the win. A backstage segment airs with Cherry talking trash. ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero vs. Undertaker is announced for later tonight. Teddy Long announced that tonight's Diva competition between Cherry, Eve, Michelle McCool and Victoria will be an arm wrestling match. The arm wrestling table was setup in the ring. Victoria beat Eve, Michelle McCool beat Cherry. Michelle McCool beat Victoria. Victoria is the diva eliminated by the fans. Victoria attacks Michelle but she is able to counter and Victoria gets knocked to the outside. (2) Big Show b. Andy Douglas, Chase Stevens, & Luke Hawks in a total squash match. Big Show nailed a right hand on Chase Stevens to get the victory. (3) World Heavyweight Champion Edge b. Funaki in a squash match. Edge mocked Undertaker by picking up Funaki and hitting a Tombstone. The briefcase above the ring on the cable was for MVP's VIP Lounge which is up next. Chris Jericho is announced as the guest. The segment features a lot of verbal sparring. Jericho plays with MVP's name calling him a zit, loser, and a jackass. MVP ends up climbing the ladder and Jericho pushes him off. (4) Kane vs. Chuck Palumbo ends in no contest. The Great Khali comes out and gives Kane a hard chop and then a tree slam to both. Mark Henry comes out and takes out Khali. He hits a splash on Palumbo and the World's Strongest Slam on Kane. Big Daddy V was not featured in the segment. (5) WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison b. Jesse & Festus to retain. Jesse takes a pretty big beating before Festus gets the tag and cleans house. Festus ends up getting thrown out of the ring. The Miz scored the pinfall on Jesse after he hit the Reality Check. (6) The Undertaker b. ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero in a non-title match via submission. Undertaker dominated throughout until he ended up choking Chavo out. After the match, Edge hits the ring along with Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins. Undertaker attempts a chokeslam on one of the Edgeheads but Edge hits the Spear. All three beat Undertaker up in the ring with chairs. The following will probably not be shown on television: Batista comes out to make the save. Undertaker and Batista re-gain control as Undertaker gives Edge a Tombstone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedJed 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 Wow, that show sounds uber bland for lead-in before the lead-in show to Mania. Why can't they do something to make Taker/Edge more interesting to me? I'm sure the match will be great in all, but DAMN, the build for this since No Way Out has been poorly done. Hey, at least we get to see The Naturals and Alter Boy Luke killed by Show.

Guest daygochika Report post Posted March 19, 2008 They're making a habit of squashing tag teams. Jericho on the VIP Lounge that's something worth watching. Are the Naturals signed to WWE now or was this just a one time thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haws bah gawd 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 I'd like to see Kane become ECW World Champion. Then, if he were to lose the title on the next TV taping, he would lose the title 2 days after winning it, and finally eclipse that 1 day World Title "reign" from 1998.

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 So, is MITB a 7 man match this year? I expected the final ECW/SD qualifier this week. Edit: Nevermind, I forgot with Hardy out the ratio is currently in ECW/SD's favour (Punk, MVP, Benjamin, and Nitro to Raw's Jericho, Kennedy, and Carlito). So now I guess I'm confused as to why Raw didn't do one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 I'm convinced Matt Hardy will be a "surprise" entrant. Maybe he'll pull a Shane McCmahon buying WCW moment and say "A Mr. Hardy was contracted to be in the MITB match, and since Jeff is suspended and it doesn't specify which one..."

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2008 Surprised there were no comments about the Naturals being used in a squash match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2008 Well, Naturals were going to have a try out match a few months ago but one of them blew it by announcing it on his myspace and it was pulled. So we'll probably see them squashed a few times from now on in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
