[Dave Youell]

From PWtorch.com:

VELOCITY

(1) Vito (w/ Nunzio) won a squash.

(2) MNM won a squash.

(3) Mr. Kennedy deafeated Austin's own Russell Simpson.

(4) Juventud Guerrera won a Cruiserweight Battle Royal for a match at No Mercy: Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Funaki vs. Brian Kendrick vs. (Austin's own) Paul London vs. The Mexocools. Nunzio also came to ringside with Vito. This was a great match well worth checking out on the their website. It came down to Spanky, London, and Juvi. Juvi took care of Kendrick who took a pretty sweet bump in the process. Juvi finally threw Paul London over the top rope. Pretty good pop for Juvi, but I was pulling for London. This was a good, fast-paced match well worth checking out.

SMACKDOWN TAPING

(1) Booker T defeated Orlando Jordan.

(2) LOD defeated Paul Birchall & William Regal.

(3) Hardcore Holly defeated Sylvain Grenier.

(4) Bobby Lashley won another squash.

(5) Rowdy Roddy Piper deaeated Bob Orton Jr. & Randy Orton with a roll up. Pretty good match.

(6) Chris Benoit & Batista & Rey Mysterio beat JBL & Christian & Eddie Guerrero i the belated Homecoming match.

BONUS DARK MATCH

(1) Undertaker defeated Randy Orton (w/Bob Orton) via Tombstome Undertaker is just the site to see live. It is electric. This was awesome.

KENNEDY!

[Chavo Classic]

Slyvian, Holly and OJ. Three good reasons why Smackdown is the pits. Why have MNM and the Cruiserweights on a dam internet show? Oh whatever... I'm never surprised by Dave Lagana and the Smackdown team anymore

[JH]

i want my kennedy

































KENNEDY

[Eunos]

I hope Hardcore Holly gets released soon.

[Chavo Classic]

It's Mae Young syndrome - Holly will be under contract until he dies

[Sadistic]

I thought Foley was confirmed?

[KingofOldSchool]

This show sounds like it sucks

And what the Hell was Mr Kennedy doing on Velocity?


They finally realized how boring he is.













































































.....Boring.

*heel heat*

[Londoner]

It's the fans curse again. The WWE have noticed Kennedy is liked by us internet fans, and so now they're burying him on an internet show, oh the irony.

[Chavo Classic]

I just think it's the scheduling for this week. Kennedy hasn't got a match on the PPV this weekend while others have, so it's more important from a business perspective from them to showcase the talents involved this Sunday to hype the event and increase buy-rates (with the exception of Lashley, but you know they're going somehwere big with this guy).

The WWE obviously hold Kennedy in high respects judging by his involvement on Raw this monday and it'd take an idiot not to recognise his popularity. Don't worry - he's set.

[Destor]

I think thats why he is in on Velocity. I think they are paying attention (though just a little) to the Internet community. They realize that we like him so they put him the Internet so we, the Internet fans, will download it to watch him. Its smart. If you are putting on a show on the Internet why not cater to the Internet audience?

[Londoner]

That makes sense.(meant for CC)

I see what you're saying, but he's not getting any exposure by being on an Internet show.We are only a minority in the WWE's fanbase.

[Londoner]

By the way, i was only making a joke/being half serious about the kennedy thing.

[Destor]

I see what you're saying, but he's not getting any exposure by being on an Internet show.We are only a minority in the WWE's fanbase.
I agree. I don't think they are going to keep him on the show, its just a way to get people to watch this week, next week they will do something else to attract viewers. I don't thing its a bad think to be on Velocity for one week, thats all I'm really saying.

[Destor]

By the way, i was only making a joke/being half serious about the kennedy thing.
I failed to realize, sorry about that brother.

[Chavo Classic]

The internet smark community makes up about 5% of WWE's audience. I don't think that's a big enough rationale for putting Kennedy on Velocity. Even so, I'm a smark, I have the internet and I like Kennedy - I'm still not going to download Velocity.

Kennedy is on Velocity for the simple reason that he's got no reason to be on Smackdown the week before a PPV he's not on the card for. That's not my choice however, I'd love to see Kennedy reprise his role as Devil's Advocate between Sharmell and Booker before the fatal four way this week (even though we never actually saw Kennedy in this role on the broadcast - what's up with THAT!?).

[Fignuts]

WHY IN THE HOLY CHEESEBALLS IS THE CRUISERWEIGHT BATTLE ROYALE ON VELOCITY!?

No amount of capital letters can truly express my anger right now.

[Chavo Classic]

Are you new to the WWE or something?

[Hardkore Kidd J]

WHY IN THE HOLY CHEESEBALLS IS THE CRUISERWEIGHT BATTLE ROYALE ON VELOCITY!?

No amount of capital letters can truly express my anger right now.

Exactly the way I feel! Kennedy being on Velocity is bad enough. I took one look at that Crusierweight Battle Royale on Velocity and I was so furious. Battle Royale's should be on Smackdown. By putting a Battle Royale for a title shot on Velocity. That just makes the title in question look bad I happen to think. As if the WWE cruiserweight title hasn't looked bad enough all ready.:roll:

[Chavo Classic]

Honestly, why are you surprised at this? The way cruisers are handled is a regular discussion piece at least every five days

[The Greater Power]

Heres a more detailed one:

Report by: Richard Whittaker, rajah.com reader

Change of ring, out come Tazz and Cole to a huge pop and here it is…

Smackdown has back to the Erwin Center!

Teddy Long and the Network Guy come out to proclaim Monday’s invasion of Raw
a huge success, and that it will happen again. Suddenly, the Orton clan
interrupt and point out that they were the first ones to invade Raw, not
Long. They demand the ring to themselves and show footage of Piper and Foley
getting RKO’d. Cue the pipes… it’s Piper, with a lead pipe, clearing house
and… saying nothing. Odd.

Booker T (w/Sharmel) def. Orlando Jordan. Seems somebody is actually
remembering what valets are supposed to do, as Sharmel really pumped up the
crowd for Booker. And, on another note, those pyros are hot. I was the far
side of the cameras and still felt them from there.

JBL cuts a promo from the lobby, then walks down through the crowd, beating
up a Rey Mysterio teddy bear and accusing the Hispanic population of Texas
of turning it into North Mexico. He then said that UT would loose the Red
River shootout this weekend (note to Mack Brown – give Sam a shot). Now that
got heat.

Video promo for Orton/Taker at No Mercy and then it’s Ken Kennedy AGAIN.
They must really like this guy. Anyway, he’s guest commentator for our next
match, in which Sylvan unconvincingly beat Bob Holly after a mike-shot from
Kennedy, thus setting up Kennedy/Holly at No Mercy. Let’s see of Kennedy can
really hang, shall we?

Now it’s backstage, where someone remembers that Rowdy Roddy Piper is best
with a mike. A great promo cut on Cowboy Bob, confirming the Ortons versus
Piper for later tonight. Video for Raw, video for No Mercy and it’s back to
the wrestling.

Road Warriors and Burchill/Regal fight to a No Contest after a run-in by
MnM. Seems that one of the most promising tag teams in years, Burchill and
Regal, has become fodder for other people’s feuds.

OK, serious note, Paul Burchill is being kept in a holding pattern. This guy
is one of the best British talents in years, up there with former NOAH tag
champ Doug Williams. When the WWE finally lets him bust out the C-4
Hotwired, his double exploder suplex, you will be shocked, trust me.

And backstage again, with Eddie saying he has Batista’s back and it’s all
cuddly. Meanwhile, back in the ring, the guy with the t-shirt cannon makes
ten people very happy.

Aaaaaaaaaand back to the ring. It’s Eddie again, saying he has Batista’s
back. The place then explodes because The Animal is here. Batista (remember
when people said he couldn’t do promos?) accuses Eddie of levelling him with
a chair last week – Eddie is hurt and outraged by the accusation, so Batista
sets him a test. In a great moment, he hands Eddie a chair and stands with
his back to him. Great theatre. Eddie resists the temptation, but Batista
leaves him with no doubt – stab me in the back and I will hurt you.

Video promo for Rey and JBL this Sunday, video shilling Viva Las Divas (are
they still all even working for the WWE on that disc?), Raw rebound (the
return of Trips, and Austin stunning everyone. Hey, kids, how horrible will
Austin/Hogan be?).

Finally, back to the ring. Orton and Orton (sounds like tax attorneys) take
on Rowdy Roddy Piper… and lose! Piper gets the pin after Orton jr high-tails
it when he hears the teased tolling of Undertaker’s bell. Yes, takers’ dong
is scarier than Roddy Piper. At this point, Orton and Orton are confronted
with half a dozen druids, pulling a casket. Via video, ‘Taker tells them to
look in the casket – they do, and see mannequins of themselves. Like the one
of Taker from three weeks ago, very lifelike – their fake corpse supplier is
a genius.

During their ‘fish out of water’ moment, the Orton’s fail to notice that
Taker has appeared out of nowhere. He clears house and stares them down.

Next up, it’s the weekly ‘jobber on Smackdown’ moment as Bobby Lashley
creams Eddie Craven while Simon Dean does squats. Very odd. Lashley is a
monster and will go far. The pop for the rookie is already huge.

A round-up of the No Mercy matches, and it’s our main event: the postponed
6-man tag team bout from Raw. JBL, Eddie and Christian vs Benoit, Batista
and Rey. Yup, three No Mercy matches in one night. Batista finally gets the
pin on Christian after a bone-jarring spine buster and an excellent match
(although JBL should never stand near Dave – it really shows how flabby he’s
got). They continued to tease Eddie’s weird face turn as he is the one who
actually turns the match for the faces by putting JBL over the top rope,
leaving Christian unprotected. He then stays around to hug Rey, shake
Benoit’s hand and raise Batista’s arm. He then gets jumped by JBL and
Christian, leaving Batista to make the save.

That’s it, everyone, except for the unannounced (so many people had left, it
wasn’t funny) Orton vs ‘Taker dark match. It’s easy to forget, but Taker is
huge, still very good in-ring and had tremendous charisma. He takes the pin
after tombstoning both men, and it’s time for home.

Sidebar: did this week’s invasion of Raw not happen? Teddy and Eddie mention
it, but there are no ramifications from Homecoming whatsoever. No invasion,
no Matt Hardy, no McMahon, no nothing. Very bizarre. Apart from that, all
very good.

Top Pop
Batista
Taker
Benoit (the man is a warrior in the ring and a general out – he did more to
run the crowd than anyone else. He needs a title shot against Batista and
soon)
T-shirt guy (sorry, folks)
Rey

Top Heat
JBL
Eddie
The Ortons
MnM (although Melina off-sets a lot of that by doing the splits)
Simon Dean (for just not being very interesting)

Top indefinable reactions for those that people were just glad to see
Christian.

[Jaton]

Okay, so Eddie goes from trying to end Mysterio's career and take his son, to hugging him?

[LK]

I hope Kennedy has paid his dues otherwise he's in for a less than fun night with Baldcore.















































...Kennedy!

[Chavo Classic]

That Kennedy thing is getting tired...
























































...nope, I'm not doing it

[TerranRich]

...Kennedy?

[KingofOldSchool]

....Boring.

[Chavo Classic]

....Exhausted catchphrase?

[Pinnacle Charisma]

Its kinda werid that there was no mention of Matt Hardy on SD.

Maybe he wont go to sd and just kept interfering during Edge's matches at Raw again like at the start of thier feud.

That will just make Hardy look more like a pussy.
















Hardy

[Gertner]

That Kennady thing is NOT getting tired, and hopefully he'll be champ by next month.

[KingofOldSchool]

That Kennady thing is NOT getting tired, and hopefully he'll be champ by next month.

Champion of the Unemployment line, hopefully.

[Chavo Classic]

That Kennady thing is NOT getting tired, and hopefully he'll be champ by next month.


No, Kennedy the wrestling isn't getting tired. But this...



















































....Kennedy thing is

[CharismaInjection]

I gotta say, where do we get the first results. Sylvan beat Holly, and LOD's match went to No contest. That's three weeks in a row that the results have been wrong.
