SmackDown!:

*Smackdown opens with WWE champion John Bradshaw Layfield coming out with his limo. Bradshaw and Orlando Jordan come to the ring. Bradshaw cuts a promo saying that Undertaker beat a lot of great champions in the past, naming names like Bret Hart, but he hasn't beaten JBL. He promises that he will beat Undertaker at Summerslam. Bradshaw introduces Orlando Jordan as his "Chief of Staff." Jordan says that JBL tought him that he has to take what he wants, not wait for his turn. He says that they petitioned Teddy Long tonight and Orlando Jordan will face Undertaker later on Smackdown.

*WWE Cruiserweight champion Spike Dudley pinned Paul London. London was with Billy Kidman. The Dudleys come out and take out Kidman. They interfere to set up the pin. After the match, they give Kidman the 3-D and whip London with a belt.

*They air a Heidenreich promo. He's coming and not alone. Paul Heyman will be there as well.

*Backstage, Scotty Too Hotty confronts Spike Dudley. Hotty says that he and Spike used to be friends and he doesn't understand what's come over him. Dudley slaps Hotty and says that he got nothing being nice. The Dudleys laugh at Hotty and walk off.

*Kurt Angle comes into Teddy Long's office. He says that since Eddie Guerrero auctioned off his property, he wants the money from it. Long says that the money went to charity. Angle gets mad and Long says that if he has a problem with it, he should go to the ring and explain why. Angle says he will.

*Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross discuss the Raw Summerslam matches. Michael Cole and Tazz go over the Smackdown matches.

Also announced for later is a "Summer Games Relay"

*Nunzio pinned Chavo Guerrero.

*The Undertaker defeated Orlando Jordan by DQ when John Bradshaw Layfield hit the ring and nailed UT with the Clothesline from Hell

*Teddy Long comes out and discusses Summerslam. He brings out Kurt Angle, then Eddie Guerrero. They go back and forth talking about their history. Long gets them to shake hands and they face off to promo their PPV match.

The main event is Team Cena (John Cena & Charlie Haas & Rob Van Dam) vs. Team Booker (Booker T & Luther Reigns & Rene Dupree) in the "Summer Games Relay."

The "Summer Games Relay" was a six man tag, sort of. The match started with a member of each team in the ring with a five minute time period. If a pinfall or submission didn't occur, then the team that won a coin toss would get "the relay" and then switch to another team member. If there wasn't a finish by the end of the relay, the other team got to send a member in, and so on.

The match started with Booker T vs. Rob Van Dam. At the end of the period, Reigns joined the match as Booker's team won the coin toss. The third period hit and Hass entered, then Dupree, then Cena, then Booker again. Cena pinned Booker.

After they went off the air, Cena spoke to the crowd.

Billy Gunn uses the Styles Clash! :|
This whole show sounds awful. Spike Dudley going over Paul London :nono: The only slightly interesting thing is the final match.

Well, at least the live show was good. I couldn't give a full report since I didn't even remember all of what happened. Kinda funny that Orlando Jordan was in a suit and tie, along with JBL. We gave them both a "You Suck" chant. The Detroit crowd still likes the "What?" As that was chanted only to Angle after every line he said when he was talking to Eddie.

Me and my buddies got to the arena around 4:30 or so. And we happened to see Miss Jackie jogging right by us. Doors finally opened around 7:00. Inside I got a new RAW/SmackDown program, and a Kurt Angle "Freedom of Choice" shirt, which was discounted to $15. We sat first row of the lower bowl at the Joe. But it was off to the side of Cole and Tazz, pretty much in the corner. So the bad thing about being level with the ring, is when people hold up signs, I couldn't see too much in the ring. But was a good time all around. Crowd was pretty hot for most of the night. Though I heard a few "Boring" chants once in a while. Unfortunately I missed out on what Cena did afterwards since we left as the pin went down on the main event.

Meh, seems alright to me. Spike-London, Chavo-Nunzio and the main event were all likely very good. Taker-OJ, well I'm sure they tried.

I'm interested to see the Eddie-Angle promo, see how that goes down.

Seemed to me to lack a real killer angle to go home to the PPV with, but I'd have to see the show in order to judge.

You think JBL's forming a stable? If so, :y:

I guess JBL is President Bush and Orlando Jordan is Colin Powell lol.

Nah, Vinnie Mac is capitalizing on the elections to create a election spoof. JBL as candidate, Jordan as Chief of Staff... you get the idea.

JBL seems to be creating his own Nazi stable by the looks of it.

WAIT A MINUTE, WTF? NUNZIO BEAT CHAVO??? :eek: :eek: :eek: Looks like they may (or may not) be getting ready to give Nunzio his big push towards cruiserweight champ material...just a thought...

Yep, Nunzio won. I don't remember how it happened, but it was a quick pin cover, where Chavo was caught off guard.

MAN, the Dudleys are GREAT now. I swear, I absolutely hated watching them over the past couple of months and now with Spike, they are the shit. Funny how wrestling works like that.

I don't see why they went to commercial so much in the last match, seeing as each 'relay' lasted only 5 minutes. They skipped Reigns leaving and Dupree coming in I think. They should have at least planned the commercial in the middle of the 5 minutes so that we could see the beginning and the end of that relay.

Overall it was an okay show. It is still humourous that JBL has gotten Million Dollar Man comparisons, and now they bring in Orlando Jordan, a bald black bodyguard type figure. At least they are finally using OJ, but this gimmick doesn't seem to lead to much in the near future :-\

Heyman's getting paired with Heidenreich? Good for Heidenreich, I suppose. I'd rather see Heyman paired with Jindrak, though. (Where the heck did that guy go, anyway?)

Speaking of Smackdown...does anyone notice that Cole's voice changes during the entire show? I don't think they're doing a good job editing him in.

lol, did anyone catch JBL saying "the great Triple H" when he was rattling off that list of main eventers Undertaker's beaten? Got a little shit on his nose if you ask me.

:y:

Though to be fair I liked them when they were with Heyman again too. I love Spike now though, that segment with Scotty 2 Hotty was great. I love it, he plays the evil abnoxious runt so well. Best heel turn in a while (at very least best turn of 04)

(Where the heck did that guy go, anyway?)I don't care if Heyman can "make anyone look good", Heidenreich was the greenest worker I've ever seen. Jindrak is a far better choice.

Yeah its just because they tape most of the commentary live at the tapings where he tends to lose his voice. And then when they go back into the studio later in the week, his voice has recovered so it will never sound the same.
