View Full Version : Official LIVE SmackDown! Special Thread 11-29-05 "David vs. Goliath"
Yeah, thought I'd make an official thread instead of a reminder thread since I bet a lot of people forgot/don't even know about this...
THE SMACKDOWN SPECIAL
Don't miss The SmackDown Special on UPN Tuesday, Nov. 29, at 9 p.m. ET when one-half of RAW's World Tag Team Champions, Big Show, takes on SmackDown's Rey Mysterio.
With more than 325 pounds separating these two Superstars, this match is sure to be a David vs. Goliath type of contest, just as it was when Big Show and Rey Mysterio battled back at Backlash 2003. The events that happened after that match can never be forgotten. With the helpless Mysterio tied to a stretcher, the giant Big Show picked up the stretcher holding Rey and swung it like a baseball bat into the steel ring post. The immobile Mysterio then fell to the ground face first.
Can we expect the same out their upcoming match Tuesday night at The SmackDown Special? Or will Mysterio, who has dedicated the match to Eddie Guerrero, find a way to topple the giant? Find out Tuesday on UPN.
In addition, Chris Benoit and Booker T battle in Match No. 2 of their best-of-seven series for the United States Championship. The Bookerman took a 1-0 lead at Survivor Series with a little help from Sharmell. Can the Rabid Wolverine even the score, or will Booker T take a commanding 2-0 lead? Don't miss this crucial match on The SmackDown Special this Tuesday at 9 p.m. (ET) on UPN.

Is there gonna be a Friday Night SD! or is it preempted for something?
Shadow

According to my TV Guide...there is a Friday Night Smackdown so...who knows!
Is it just me or are Tazz and Michael Cole explaining things a bit more throughly?

...guess the WWE is using Eddie's death as a storyline now...
Man, I respect Rey for his love for Eddie, and I don't want to sound like an asshole, but I hope that wasn't the start of an angle...
You know, now marks are going to think that Eddie's going to return tonight... :nono:
This match can't go a half hour... 20 minutes TOPS.
What actually is the match?

OH GOD DAMN YOU WWE. FUCK YOU.
Having Rey call for Eddie. :nono: :nono: :nono:

It's not on where I am so can someone please tell me what is going on with Rey?
He's getting beat up and Rey keeps calling for the spirit of Eddie.
And Rey just got powerbombed on the lowrider...
Shadow
11-29-2005, 09:47 PM
...........I guess they're confused. I thought Big Show was supposed to be a face.
Destor
11-29-2005, 09:48 PM
He is on SD! so he is heel. It makes perfect sense.
Man, horrible thoughts keep going through my mind... For one, they're using a wrestler's death for a storyline... For two, I keep thinking that Eddie's going to show up and help Rey and it's all going to be a horribly crule angle...
Man, this is horrible...
Shadow
11-29-2005, 09:52 PM
And there goes the whole thing about Rey being incapacitated from that Power Bomb on the Lowrider.
Is it just me, or does Big Show look like he's been crying? He has swelled up eyes and everything...
I dunno, maybe I'm reading too much into this...
Shadow
11-29-2005, 09:54 PM
GRAB THE CHAIR AND KEEP HITTING HIM!

Guess how they'll be getting the WHC off of Batista?
Rey's obviously gonna beat the odds here.
Not a horrible match...

The SD! RAW fued isn't over. Not a bad thing I suppose.

Botched' RKO again, awesome.
LOL! I think Taker bent the tire iron with that block...
Destor
11-29-2005, 09:59 PM
This isn't a cluster fuck Shadow, its two run-ins back to back. There is a difference.
Shadow
11-29-2005, 09:59 PM
Gee Randy...if setting a coffin that has the man inside can't take him out, how can your botched finisher and a couple of shots to the back the head with a crowbar gonna do?
NOTHING!
Destor
11-29-2005, 10:00 PM
:lol: they hit the pyro.
LOL, how horrible... Using fireworks as an explosion...
So this entire thing was a setup for Taker/Orton...
Destor
11-29-2005, 10:01 PM
How lame
Shadow
11-29-2005, 10:01 PM
This isn't a cluster fuck Shadow, its two run-ins back to back. There is a difference.
And what the hell do you call that Destor?
Man, I honestly expected Eddie to come out in all of that. It was all coming to a head... I feel horrible. :(

what was the point of this one-hour "live" crapfest?
The setup for Taker/Orton, apparently...

:lol: at Kane's reaction to Taker showing up
loopydate
11-29-2005, 10:08 PM
Okay, so let me get this straight. Rey asks God to send Eddie Guerrero to be his guardian angel? Sure, it's inappropriate, but they've built the two up to be like brothers, so I'll let it slide.
But to have Rey saved by...
...wait for it...
...THE DEADMAN?!?!?
What the FUCK were they thinking? And then to use Eddie's lowrider as a WEAPON?
God damn, I'm usually pretty laid back about this kind of stuff, but... :nono:
Destor
11-29-2005, 10:09 PM
And what the hell do you call that Destor?
Two run-ins back to back. A cluster fuck is when a plethora (usually the whole locker room) come down and brawl, with no story being told other than "they are brawling." A run-in is when a guy (or a few guys) run in and interfere. Subtle difference, but there is one.
Destor
11-29-2005, 10:11 PM
As almost offensive the Eddie thing is, I think the fact that he is still apart of the show after his death is nice. And I'm not sure Eddie would be offended by that.
Gone Mad
11-29-2005, 10:12 PM
Yeah, Loopy explained it well. Watching it, I believe it was all done in a horrible manner. I mean, a so-called tribute match for the late Eddie ending with Taker, the Dead Man, supposed blowing up with Eddie's car?
Not cool. :nono: Though Kane's reaction to his brother was priceless.

It just goes to show that even God herself can't save you from the Big Show.
Loose Cannon
11-29-2005, 10:39 PM
sometimes I have to laugh when I see people calling shows like this a crapfest, when it's like what did you expect from them? Were you actually expecting something totally different from what they showed. Did you not expect a couple run-ins to occur? Did you not expect Orton to get involved? Did you expect the match to end with Rey over coming the odds and beating Show when clearly they have no intent of pushing Rey that hard? They do the same thing all the time. It's not gonna change.
It's like you've never watched a WWE show before.

Precisely. You hit the nail RIGHT ON THE FUCKING HEAD.
Step back and think about it for a second. The commentary, the "David v Goliath", the major run-ins at the end. This special was to hook in more casual fans, who might be channel surfing. The way everything was explained, c'mon guys, I can't be the only one who sees this. I know some of you are upset about the Eddie/Lowrider/Deadman/etc stuff, but look deeper. This was set up to hook in the marks/casuals for this Friday's SD!. The whole ending was a big WTF? for the marks/casuals to generate interest. It was all a big plug to draw in non-traditional viewers.

WORST RKO EVER

No it wasn't.
The one he had to give to Jericho twice was the worst RKO ever.
Skippord
11-29-2005, 11:03 PM
Yeah But still that one was like a swinging neckbraker
Loose Cannon
11-29-2005, 11:06 PM
that was Taker's fault, not Orton's. He can't even take the fricken move
Savio
11-29-2005, 11:15 PM
that show didn't really offend me.
Shadow
11-29-2005, 11:15 PM

Look...I know you're high on Orton but it's a fucking easy move to take. I can take it and I've got no formal wrestling training. Let's say they both fucked it up and move on.
Savio
11-29-2005, 11:16 PM
no some people don't like falling down face first...but i think taker F'ed it up because he was to close to the ropes
Loose Cannon
11-29-2005, 11:18 PM
Taker never takes it right. I never said it wasn't an easy move to take, I said Taker screwed it up. Who cares if you can take it. Good for you. What does that have to do with Taker not falling the right way?
Jaton
11-29-2005, 11:28 PM
The hell Taker doesn't do it right. Refer back to the first or second RKO he took when Orton first challenged him for WM21.
Loose Cannon
11-29-2005, 11:33 PM
sorry I can't remember that far back
Jaton
11-29-2005, 11:38 PM
Then don't say he never takes it right? :love:
Taker Fan
11-29-2005, 11:57 PM
I actually thought that Taker was one of the best people that sold the RKO as he kinda dives down as though Orton drags his head down..I dunno just kinda something i noticed that was different (well..besides tonite's RKO)
RGWhat316
11-29-2005, 11:57 PM
That was an interesting finish to the show. I wasn't really offended, but I don't think that Eddie's lowrider was the best thing to use to try to "kill" someone.
I do understand that this show was meant to hook in some more casual fans. They were building up Rey as if he had never faced someone of the Big Show's size, and with some of the commentary was to be more explanatory.

That Big Show/Rey match was actually pretty entertaining. I'm sad that it had no ending.

I really enjoyed the show and it wasn't offensive to me at all...

So the show only went for an hour? Are they still having a show on Friday?

Well, this is Undertaker death storyline #23423829
Jaton
11-30-2005, 05:03 AM
That's being very moderate. Perhaps you should double that number?
RemyRed
11-30-2005, 06:12 AM
Some of you guys are too easily offended.
The original plan was for The Undertaker to come out and clean house with Rey Mysterio looking on puzzled (even hitting a frog splash on Big Show). Then The Undertaker was supposedly going to grab a mic and say "Orale homes why you looking so confused?" then Undertaker was supposed to do that latino shake. After a few seconds of staring Rey Mysterio was supposed to then hug the Undertaker (now possessed by the soul of Eddy Guererro) and give an emotional ending to the live special as well as giving the deadman a new gimmick.
