ECW and SmackDown spoilers (maybe) :S

[NeanderCarl]

I read that Todd Grisham and Matt Striker are handling ECW commentary duties at the taping. Does this mean a Tazz return to SmackDown to replace the apparently disgruntled Mick Foley? One off arrangement or permanent? Or is it all just a big misprint anyway? Hmmm.

[Londoner]

That better not happen. :mad:

[CSL]

I'd be interested so hear how Matt Striker does. I'd love for there to be a regular heel colour guy

[Xero]

Honestly, if Striker isn't managing I think commentary is best for him.

[Londoner]

Just don't want tazz replacing Foley, i mean.

[NeanderCarl]

Yep. Sources say JR and Tazz are handling the SmackDown taping.

[Londoner]

Only temporarily though right??? Foley hasn't left has he? Fuck.

[Londoner]

Just done some research and now understand whats going on, summerslam may be Foleys last appearance, if he doesn't sign a new contract.

[Juan]

You're a regular Sherlock Holmes, TL.

[Londoner]

Very funny Juan, was just desperate to know what's going on is all.

[Lock Jaw]

Foley is disgruntled? Again? Since when?

[Londoner]

Vince made some negative comments about his commentary work with Micheal Cole, i don't understand why though and don't think Foley does either. And he's angry at how he and other announcers have been treated.

[Gertner]

Striker on commentary would be fucking awesome!

[Skippord]

they're probably just selling the beating Mick Foley took last week

[Mr. Nerfect]

The selling of the beating is one possibility. I've been reading weird things about Foley. You don't know what to believe. That man was fantastic on commentary, though. Tazz replacing him would be best, though. Matt Striker could be a fantastic commentator.

[Fox]

Jeff goes for the pin and MVP comes running in and lays him out with a boot forcing the match to end in DQ at 15:49.

* Indian Broken Glass Arm-Wrestling Contest:
Khali w/Ranjin Singh b. Triple H
- Singh translates for Khali. Hunter makes fun of him and then says he'll break Khali's legs at SummerSlam. They start the contest... Khali gets the early advantage. Triple H comes back. Khali then headbutts Triple H and goes for the two hand chokeslam. Triple H reverses and goes for the pedigree. Khali locks on the Vice Grip. Triple H tries to fight but goes down. Khali stands tall. Two refs come out and help Hunter to the back.

* Edge joins the Guerreros in the office. Vickie is pissed. Edge sucks up to her and calls for unity.

* Edge, Chavo, and Vickie all come out to the ring to call out The Undertaker. Both Edge and Chavo have chairs. Edge turns on Chavo and gives him a one man con–chair–to as Vickie watches from her wheelchair. Edge then shoves Vickie out of her chair. As she screams he cries out that he will take Undertaker and La Familia to hell with him. SmackDown goes off the air.

Dark Main Event:
* Edge (in street clothes) vs. Triple H for the WWE Championship.
- Edge substitutes himself for Vladimir Kozlov. Triple H destroys him with a pedigree after a couple of minutes.

Edge, now shirtless, attacks Hunter as soon as he gets the pin and the title match starts.

* Triple H b. Edge
- Edge dominates early on. Triple H comes back as Kozlov is still in the ring lifeless. They continue to fight back and forth. Edge eventually goes to the back and gets counted out. Kozlov is pedigreed a second time.

[Fox]

Edge face turn could be good to watch.

[DaVe]

Uh, Edge is a face? Everyone boos him like hell, while since Vickie reinstated Taker, she is getting boos and cheers.

Anyway damn it if Foley is gone for good. Vince pisses me off with his uncontrolled mouth. Smackdown sounds good, though.

[Verbose Minch]

If Foley leaves, I'm done watching WWE.

[Lock Jaw]

Edge is just going into "insane" Edge mode where he beats up everybody. But since he is fighting Undertaker, he's still the heel. If afterwards he starts beating up mainly heels he could turn face with some fan support, upon which they will make him lose his edge that got him back over with the fans as a face.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Edge developing as a face character would be very interesting, but he is still very much a heel. Yessss, Brian Kendrick's heel push continues.

[Skippord]

Crazy Edge being back = awesome

[BigDaddyCool]

Mick Foley is such a bitch. All he ever does is quit WWE lately.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Mick Foley is such a bitch. All he ever does is quit WWE lately.

To quit the WWE, he needs to first get hired by the WWE. So at the very most, quitting the WWE takes up half his time.

Foley is an amazing color commentator, though. I hope the WWE keeps him on. Apparently Matt Striker did some good work on ECW, though, so if only there was a spot for him. ie. Getting rid of Jerry Lawler.

You knew prefectly well what I ment.

[Juan]

Wow, superb match between Hardy and Benjamin! :y:

[Juan]

ROFL @ HHH calling Ranjin, Funyun.

[Juan]

Dear Ron "R-Truth" Killings,

The 90's called, they want their dookie braids back.

[Juan]

PS. Vladimir Kozlov's music is the shit.

[Juan]

Fun little match between Kendrick and Super Crazy. Gotta say, Kendrick is pretty impressive.

[Juan]

LOL Crazy Edge rules

[Innovator]

Koslov's Du Hast music is awesome

And I'm liking this Edge

[thedamndest]

Wow, R-Truth. Wonder if he will get as rowdy as K-Kwik or touch up as many girls as R. Kelly? Why the fuck don't they just call him Ron Killings?

[Londoner]

I agree with everything you said Juan. Exactly my thoughts when i watched the show. I love how edge is atm, just can't stand vickie almost ruining that last segment.

[Sebastian]

R-Truth is fairly talented, he was right to ditch TNA. He can have potential in the WWE. Also I think they dont want to call him Ron Killings because thats what he was in TNA, they could get in trouble for that and also you dont want to associate yourself with TNA, makes the wrestler look bad.

The show was good, I hope Edge is going to turn face, it would be a refreshing change for him, he has been heel for like forever now.

They're letting him use his Truth gimmick from TNA and his old theme (which he owns) from TNA so he's still using things from his TNA run.

You do realize he had a run in WWE already, right?

[NeanderCarl]

As shitty a name as R-Truth is, it's a league above K-Kwik.
