Neidhart pinned McCool with a rollup and a handful of tights. - Recap of the World Heavyweight Championship match from Backlash. It's Undertaker vs. Great Khali tonight. - Mark Henry defeated Nunzio. Nunzio stands on the ramp, waves out someone. Music hits... The Big Show... and he is in Nunzio's corner. Henry wins, stares down Show during the pin. Show enters ring...

Henry retreats up the aisle. - Matt Hardy makes his first US Title defense next against MVP. - Matt Hardy defeated MVP to retain the WWE US Title. Match went about 15 minutes, real solid match. Hardy wins with a Twist of Fate. - In ring segment, Mick Foley interviews Batista. Reviews Batista's match from Backlash vs. Shawn Michaels. Batista says he respects Shawn, but doesn't like how he got to the top. Foley brings up the comments from Chris Jericho on RAW on the Highlight Reel and says the match has further controversy. Foley asks Batista if he thinks Michaels faked the knee injury to gain the victory at Backlash. Batista hopes for Shawn's sake he is hurt, cause if he isn't, he will be. - Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins defeated Jesse & Festus. - Finlay defeated Julio Dinero with the Celtic Cross. - Undertaker vs. Great Khali. Taker in ring, Edge & Vickie Guerrero on the stage. Vickie says that Taker is reckless, does not look out for his opponents and his submission move is now banned. If he uses it, he will have hell to pay. Vickie then says that because of his actions, Undertaker has been stripped of the World Heavyweight Championship and to bring it to her... he refuses. Khali comes out for the match. Taker puts the submission move on Khali, during this, Hawkins & Ryder hit the ring, take the World Heavyweight Championship and run up the ramp and give it to Vickie. Khali is choked out as Taker goes to head up the ramp after Edge. They escape. Taker looks back and returns to the ring. He chokeslammed a bloodied Khali and left him laying. - No dark match. So to sum up, Taker HAS BEEN STRIPPED OF THE WORLD TITLE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JHawk 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 What a bunch of bullshit. How about, you know, allowing the title to go more than a damn year without being vacated. So when does Teddy Long get his job back to stop this conflict of interest bullshit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 This sucks. The problem is there is really no one on SD right now who can be world champ aside from UT or Edge. I guess maybe Big Show if they could decide if he's actually a SD guy or not. Mind you, I actually do think UT's submission move is kind of a choke and thus could be considered illegal, but shouldn't he be warned about this prior to being stripped of the belt? In other words, Raw goes off the air during the main, Adamle walks away from ECW during the main, and Vicki strips UT of the belt. Are they trying to drive fans to drink?

Yeah, it's an obvious stripping, but it reads as more of a "stealing the title" angle, with the Edgeheads running down and taking it while he's distracted.

Diamonddust 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 It's all leading to Vince coming back to restore some control. It has to be, surely? Or we remain in bizzaro land until the next 3 hour Raw, which is in June, isn't it? Anyways, if they wanted to do a belt stealing angle for another Edge/Taker match... did they have to vacate the title as well? Even with Orton and HHH in a cage, they could have had the Edgeheads steal the belt and then Taker challenge for a Last Man Standing match or something along those lines... even with the provision that his choke-hold is off limits.

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 A friend of mine sent me a text saying he heard a rumor that the SD ME at Judgement Day will be Taker/Edge TLC...and no, he didn't give me any sources, I didn't ask. These weird scenarios usually lead up to that sort of thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perfection 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 wow..another very short undertaker title reign. I figured they would have made up for the last one getting cut short by injury. Looks like They are also giving khali the time off he needed for his knees or they are firing him ,. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 Vickie will award the belt to Edge, Teddy Long will somehow regain power and try to veto Vickie's move, but he won't QUITE be able to, so they'll have a TLC match to determine a TRUE champion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 SD has a dearth of main eventers right now but who is really viable to step up right now? I know people say MVP, but if he got the title right now he would almost certainly tank. This is a guy coming off multiple ass beatings from Matt Hardy, who would buy him beating The Undertaker?

The Truthiness 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 Or he just isn't very good. I agree with you on MVP, they shouldn't rush him to the top, but there is no doubt he is going to be a major player one day. When I look at Kennedy, I don't see half as much potential as I see in MVP. I don't really see Kennedy being more than he is now, he might make it a little higher on the card but that's it. I really don't see WWE pushing Kennedy prematurely as the reason he, you know, sucks. At the time they were planning to push him, he was over and becoming really good. I would've brought him pulling an Edge on Taker, and becoming the top heel on Smackdown last year. But he got injured, than when he came back, instead of going after Edge he returned to raw as a heel, when if anything he should've been a face. Then they started setting the motions for him to be Vince's son, and this time he got suspended for roids, 2 months after making a fool of himself on Nancy Grace. So thinking back on it, I don't think Kennedy was a product of getting pushed too hard, I think Kennedy has only himself to blame for not being one of the top guys right now. This is why I believe, “Injuries and being a moron is the reason Kennedy isn’t in the main event scene right now. WWE "rushing him" has nothing to do with it".

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 You really think he's been jobbed out? I'm not being sarcastic. I don't know, it seems like ever since they started to feud, aside from MVP's win at GAB... Matt Hardy has been 300-0 against MVP. I don't really like how MVP was made out to be a total complete bitch since Matt Hardys been back. I personally would've had the feud go one month longer and end at Judgement in a Ladder Match, where Matt finally wins. I still feel MVP should've been the one to win MITB at Wrestlemania as well... I'd put MVP over CM Punk no question, I think CM Punk is a great talent... But MVP is more entertaining, in my opinion and I think he will be a better draw then Punk. I also don't like how Shelton Benjamin is losing in the opening bouts of ECW, while Chavo Guerrero is a main eventer on the show. Benjamin is a much better talent then Guerrero... But he's not being used right. All he needs is a mouthpeiece and he can be an instant main eventer. I know Benjamin can also bring the best of Kane with his style. Teddy Long would be the perfect mouthpeice of Benjamin, but what is he doing? Absolutely jackshit on SD!. Either way, I'm going to be patient and see what they do with MVP since the Hardy feud is finally done... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
