Smackdown spoilers, 2 former WWE stars return!

[Dave Youell]

WWE SmackDown Tapings (Air date: 9/16)

- In the fourth match of the best of 5 series for the U.S. Title, John Cena defeated Booker T by pinfall.

- Michael Cole was interviewing Billy Kidman. Paul London came out to confront him. He slapped Kidman, but Kidman didn't do anything, he just walked away.

- Rob Van Dam & Rey Mysterio defeated The Dudley Boyz

- Kenzo Suzuki & Rene Dupree defeated the FBI to retain the tag titles.

- John Heidenreich kidnapped Michael Cole. Tazz tried to help out, but was unsuccessful. Later on in the night, Heidenreich read this poem to Cole and told Cole to thank him for it.

- Bradshaw made his way to the ring and called out the Undertaker. They fought for a bit, until Orlando Jordan came out with Viscera and Gangrel. Undertaker tried to fight back, then Bradshaw delivered the clothesline from hell.

- Charlie Haas defeated Spike Dudley by disqualification. The Dudleyz interfered to cause the DQ finish, then Rico came out to help Haas.

- Big Show came out to the ring because he had a contract to sign. He can choose to face either Kurt Angle or Eddie Guerrero at No Mercy. Big Show signed to face Kurt Angle. Apparently, this angered Angle and he and Luther attacked the Big Show, but Eddie made the save. Teddy Long made a tag team main event match for next week, where Kurt Angle and Luther Reigns would face Eddie Guerrero and Big Show.

So Vis and Gangrel eh? :wtf: Don't think this is going to be a long term thing.

[Sephiroth]

Hehe...Eddie/Big Show vs Angle/Reigns next week, any way looks like an okay show...

-edit- :p

[Dave Youell]

Hehe...Eddie/Big Show vs Angle/Reigns at No Mercy, any way looks like an okay show...
???

That match is next week. It's Show Vs Angle at No Mercy and then Probably Luther Vs Eddie.

But yeah the overall show looks ok, I likes the idea of Cole getting kidnapped, sham it was by Hein-den-Luger

[Imagi-Nation]

GANGREL!!!
YESSSSSSSSSS

[Apprentice]

Maybe its me but those results seem so fake... or maybe I'm in denial that Vince would rehire Viscera. Whats next? A reunion of Men on a Mission?

[Aussie Skier]

VISCERA...WTF!!!!!

Gangrel is ok, OK!
but Viscera.
I gotta say, something smells to me. I'll hafta wait and see it me thinks

[Dave Youell]

I've read these results on 4 different website and sources and they all say the same thing

[HankScorpio]

I saw an interview with Gangrel on the Bagpipe report this week, he said nothing about returning to the WWE, all he said was that he'd done some dark matches and that Vince had told him to "trim down & stay in shape for the future". Although I'm not sure when the Bagpipe report was taped, it looked very recent.

[Transplant]

MABELS BACK!!! :love: :love:

....ok, forget I just did that. :shifty:

[nelioneil]

I can't believe that Viscera and especially Gangrel :) is back in the WWE.

Why oh why did Viscera get hired back. He is a (big) waste of space in the WWE who has no wrestling talent. Gangrel is one of my favourite wrestlers so big ups to him returning.

The bagpipe report is taped on a Tuesday after Raw of that week, cos they talk about what happened on Raw this week and stuff.

I still think this is legit, i haven't seen any other spoilers saying anything different

I reckon they probably just brought in Vis so when Show jobs to Angle at No Mercy he can still keep credibility as a monster if he destroys Vis by Slamming him and stuff

[Volchok]

Thank God the VWO isnt around anymore...

[LK]

Did I read that right. Viscera! What did they look like in terms of attire and stuff.

[SuperSlim]

highly highly weird. now this is somethin that I don't think oculd have been predicted to happen.

Cool to see Gangrel but to see Big Vis? oh my my my my my my.

[The Mackem]

I wonder if Gangrel will actually be called Gangrel. Wasn't there some sort of agreement that the WWE had with the creators of the name Gangrel to use it?

[Azriel]

It's the return of the Ministry! They're going to turn on Bradshaw and rejoin the Undertaker to form the new Ministry, right? Right?

[.44 Magdalene]

Gangrel. :eek: ::Marks out like whoa.::

And yeah, Whitewolf owns the rights to the name Gangrel. I dunno if WWE struck a new deal or if they still have the deal or if the name is changing or what, though.

Results do sound a little fishy, but meh. Hopefully it's true...even if I don't get Smackdown. :'(

[Shaggy]

Sadly I dont see Gangrel and Vis staying that long. Or as those characters atleast. It would of been good if they joined up with Taker and reform the ministry. But no one considers taker now to be the same Taker to do the ministry.

[Gerard]

Umm why would eddie make the save, he did get chokeslammed last week. :wtf:

Oh yeah this is wwe, things dont usually make sense. :shifty: :nono:

[El Santo]

Whoa.

And Dennis Knight (Mideon) is still slated to return, right?

So JBL is forming a new Corporate Ministry, then? Hey, I'm all for it.

[Dave Youell]

Mideon is coming in a captin G though.

A guy who wrestles in a mask and a G string *shudders*

[FourFifty]

<font color=cyan>......................................
Viscera...........................
Do I really need to explain why I enjoy Raw better than SmackDown?

[Eunos]

Gangrel is cool.. (I got his autograph :love:)

But Viscera?.. Meh whatever..Just don't even think of giving him a push ¬¬

[Astley316]

turn visera back into mable and team him with cena :lol:

Percy said the same thing a week from WM and then look who showed up with Taker.



Regardless does anyone see Gangrel and Vis turning on Bradshaw and them sacrificing him and they all reform the Ministry.

[BigDaddyCool]

Woooooooooooooooo, vWo...hold on, I'm oWo...fuck Visera.

[Splaya]

What did Owo Stand for anyways?

[BigDaddyCool]

[Hardkore Kidd J]

I had to do a double take when I read that Gangrel came back. Hopefully I'm looking for either a Ministry reformation or Gangrel and Undertaker in some kind of fued I would like that. ANd the best part is nobody knew about it There weren't even commercials about them coming back so that makes me feel happy. I don't really like the commercials that are all "So and so are coming back in two months" And then he does'nt show up for 2 months. I kinda like the way Smackdown and Raw are doing. Only thing is fire Viscera make him work for OVW, but if they fire gangrel before Viscera then :foc: :rant: :mad:

[Kapoutman]

Gangrel is not that great of a wrestler. However, he can be entertaining, and just the way he acts in a ring can make you forget about that.

Viscera is a horrible wrestler. However, even with the way he acts in the ring, he can't make you forget that. Oh yeah, he is zero at entertainment too.

[The Answer]

Wait what does Viscera and Gangrel have to do with JBL's angle?.They are two goths it makes no sense

[Hardkore Kidd J]

He probably paid them or something. Besides it's the WWE since when did WWE make sense?

[Hardkore Kidd J]

Oh cool I just noticed RIco came back :y:

[Corkscrewed]

What's funny is that I don't think Gangrel ever really left... he just popped up once every five months or so.

But Viscera???? VISCERA??????

Now I understand the crap in the Noble firing forum... they fired Jamie Noble to hire Viscera?????????????????????????????

*heart attack from logic shock*

[Scarface]

lol Viscera lol

Gangrel's cool though, does he still have his old gimmick?

[Scarface]

Mideon is coming in a captin G though.

Ratings!!

[Innovator]

Vince: hmmmmmmmm, maybe if we rehire everyone from 98-99, people will watch!

[Aussie Skier]

Viscera.

maybe he's gonna be smackdown's big useless piece of crap.....like mark henry

[Hardkore Kidd J]

Viscera.

maybe he's gonna be smackdown's big useless piece of crap.....like mark henry

I think they had enough of those guys on Smackdown as it is. To fire a talented wrestler and to rehire a big fat useless piece of shit. Get Eugene and a busfull of retards to write for the WWE. Then there would be better storylines and at least not fire classy individuals and greatness like Jamie Noble.

[loopydate]

WWE is trying really hard to make me stop watching.

- JBL is still WWE Champion
- They job Randy Orton to Triple H
- They rush the London/Kidman split
- They fire Jamie Noble
- They continue to de-push Rob Van Dam
- The Diva Search gets extended
- Lita is still in an important storyline where she talks a lot
- They re-hire Viscera

It really is like they don't want me watching anymore.

[rob11]

GANGREL! YES! YES!

[Head]

Having not read any of the contents of this thread, I kindly ask that you don't give things away such as "2 former WWE superstars return" in the subject title.

[Rain Man]

Viscera?!?! :wtf: I remember when Viscera and Mark Henry fought at some PPV I think No Way Out 2000? But Mark Henry was defending his girlfriend Mae Young when Viscera did a big splash on her last week on Raw. lol what the fuck is the WWE going to do with VISCERA?

[Innovator]

It would have been better if Viscera splashed Lita, ending the god forsaken angle

[damn tekno]

WHAT THE SHIT?!?!?!!?

[LK]

Can somebody answer my question. Did they come out in their attire that they did back when they were part of the ministry or what?

[Hardkore Kidd J]

Smackdown and Raw better start making some real watchable stuff. Maybe if we all picket outside of WWE headquarters we will finally get what we want.

*rushes off to make picket signs*

[LK]

Yeah I can just imagine all the internet marks outside WWE headquarters:

one of the main guys with a megaphone: What do we want?
rest of the crowd: More equitable treatment for cruiserweights!
main guy: When do we want it?
crowd: NOW!

[Hardkore Kidd J]

Can somebody answer my question. Did they come out in their attire that they did back when they were part of the ministry or what?

I don't think so I think they would come out in different attire since black was used for the ministry and JBL is more of a buisness man. *Seeing Viscera in a suit* :nono: :nono: :eek:

That would be funny but the whole thing is WWE headquarters would never listen to us they probably would just make it all shittier. After all they're doing this for the fans. :roll: :roll: :shifty: I swear the WWE lucked out since I don't get FSN. I thought I'd be a WWE fan my whole life. At the rate they're going I won't be a WWE past next month.

i personally feel its very unfair to say 2 superstars.
we call guys like christian, benoit, the rock, HHH etc... superstars. MABEL is just a fat bastard with a stupid haircut

[Aussie Skier]

Viscera?!?! :wtf: I remember when Viscera and Mark Henry fought at some PPV I think No Way Out 2000? But Mark Henry was defending his girlfriend Mae Young when Viscera did a big splash on her last week on Raw. lol what the fuck is the WWE going to do with VISCERA?

YES!!!! I REMEMBER THAT TOO!!!! OVER summer (US's winter), i borrowed all the tapes from 2000-2003 PPV's.

and, that match, was, without a doubt, the worst out of all of them!
and alot of those matches are still fresh in my head

[Drakul]

GANGREL!!!
YESSSSSSSSSS
:D :D :D :D :D

[Innovator]

Just get everyone to stand outside WWE headquarters, chanting Y2J! Y2J!


next thing you'll know Jericho will be jobbing to HBCade

:rofl: :lol:

[RemyRed]

Didn't Rico come back too?

[The Answer]

I don't think so I think they would come out in different attire since black was used for the ministry and JBL is more of a buisness man. *Seeing Viscera in a suit* :nono: :nono: :eek:

I can't see Gangrel in a buisness suit it would ruin his persona.Viscera maybe but not Gangrel

[loopydate]

I'm taping SmackDown tonight (as I did with RAW). I'm curious, though, if Tazz actually refers to them as Gangrel and Viscera. If they show up in non-Ministry attire, people may not recognize Gangrel, which would mean they could conceivably change his look (more businesslike). They'll recognize Vis because - let's face it - he's a 600-pound black guy with a stupid haircut (unless he changed it).

Maybe they'll go by Nelson Frazier and David Heath or something.

[The CyNick]

Taker needs people to squash, hence the rehiring. I cant see either of them lasting very long.

[.44 Magdalene]

That's gonna seriously ruin my Christmas if Gangrel isn't Gangrel anymore. Suiting up Bradshaw, alright, I can take. But Gangrel? Hell no. Gangrel was like, my hero at some point. Yeah, he was just another goth guy, but he kicked ass. The outfit, the entrance, the music, the fangs, the blood and all...he was awesome. If they turn him into Bradshaw Accountant Minion #3, I'm gonna have to throw somebody a beating.

[Innovator]

Gangrel was in his old attire, so was Viscera

[OssMan]

well they're not showing smackdown here, looks like I'll be missing the only exciting thing to happen in months

[Innovator]

ahaha, the the FBL/Kenzo and Rene match had no commentary

[ColdwaVer]

Heh, Taker vs Gangrel and Vis next week. :drool:

[DMI]

well they're not showing smackdown here, looks like I'll be missing the only exciting thing to happen in months
It will be on Sunday night :)

[Corkscrewed]

ROFLMAO at Kenzo's music morphing into Dupree's music.

Also, I'll bet you Gangrel never gets do his blood spit thing. :'(

[El Santo]

You know, it just occurred to me that JBL was also part of the Ministry.

Why in the world did I not notice that before? I wonder if they'll refer to that tidbit (I didn't see the show tonight, so I have no idea).

[Corkscrewed]

OMG, you're right! As an Acolyte!

Wow, that's just funky. Watch... JBL lays down for Taker and the past four months are revealed to be a huge SWERVE!!!!

[Azriel]

i'd mark out like a bitch if they reformed the Ministry

[LK]

Well they were both dressed in their old ministry attire just for anyone who wants to know.

[Spoon Bender]

I saw Vis on some Indy show on TWC the other night. He was wrestling under the King Mabel name as the company's top babyface. Better yet he was their reigning champion and had an old school, "hero to all them poor kids who have it so tough" kind of gimmick. But still wore the Vis costume and contacts, which made him look like he was gonna eat the kids when he posed with them...Think of a fat gothic Mr T and your pretty close.

My theory is that Undertaker is gonna call on other ex corporate minsitry people to even the odds. Meaning that at No Mercy Paul Bearer will come back from the dead with the urn, open it up and BigBoss man will pop out and eat JBL's dog....COULD happen!

[Evolution]

Gangrel! Can't wait! Gonna watch SmackDown instead of RAW for a change.

Also, we found out what oWo stands for, anyone know what vWo stands for?

[Semetery]

Dunno whether ta laugh or cry. I didn't know about any of this stuff happenin', what with bein' in the UK an' all, an' havin' ta rely on me friend ta tape it, I'm a tad behind, but it all sounds like yet more WWE bullshit. I at first thought that they were butcherin' storylines, then it was pointed out to me that the storylines are shit ta start with, so what's there ta butcher? *Sighs*

Although I must admit, the Last Ride Match for No Mercy sounds really cool. If JBL wins that thought, I'm gonna go apeshit.

[PepperCarrotMan]

They are NOT back full time. This is only an appearance or two to further the JBL/Taker feud. WWE has not hired either man and we will never see them again after a week or two.

[FakeLaser]

Fire Noble, pick up Viscera and Gangrel. I'm glad I haven't watched wrestling in over 2 years.

[John la Rock]

The only thing good about Gangrel was his entrance

[Gouda]

You know, it just occurred to me that JBL was also part of the Ministry.

Why in the world did I not notice that before? I wonder if they'll refer to that tidbit (I didn't see the show tonight, so I have no idea).

They didn't refer to it. Why is just beyond me... I mean, ok. I can understand them not mentioning it when it's just a feud between JBL and Undertaker.... but when you bring old ministry people in and you start talking about the ministry I don't see how you can fail to mention that Bradshaw was a member.

[Blue Demon]

Gangrel! Can't wait! Gonna watch SmackDown instead of RAW for a change.

Also, we found out what oWo stands for, anyone know what vWo stands for?
vWo = Viscera World Order :roll:















:shifty:

[Corkscrewed]

Well, they've already forgotten about Big Show's anger counseling, which was referred to less than five weeks ago. How can you expect to to remmeber something that happened five YEARS ago?
