Major SmackDown Spoiler for this Friday from Wheeling, WV!

[darkpower]

While I can't really give you a blow by blow account of what happened tonight in Wheeling, WV (someone may be typing it up as we speak) I can reveal to you something major that happened storyline-wise...


TAZZ QUITS SMACKDOWN!!

Michael Cole was going to interview Rey Mysterio to ask if he was defecting to ECW. Tazz then interrupted him and came into the ring, saying that Lawler will be choked out at One Night Stand. he then turned to Cole and said that about now, he has had much fun on SmackDown, but he is going to go "back home" and he is going to ECW, and ended by shoving the mic onto Cole.

By the way, in case anyone is wondering, only a minute after Tazz exited the ring, Heyman came out as Cole went back to his seat, and would ask Rey if he was coming to ECW. Once Rey came out, he said that the WWE was his home.

Heyman would do commentary for the televised main event (Rey Mysterio vs. Finlay).

But there is a big question now: What is Tazz gonna DO on the ECW, and who will be Cole's partner now?

[crash99]

Not really to surpising, but I am curious to see what he does in the new ECW and who Cole's partner will be.

MISSSSSSSTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA KENNNNNEEEDDDDDDYYYYY!

[Linkbowler]

...KENNEDY!

[Linkbowler]

Or possibly SmackDown! NUMBAH ONE! Announca!

[Ben Rodrigues]

Wasn't Simon Dean's name thrown around to fill the spot? As sad as it sounds - I think the days of Nova are dead.

[BlackDawn2024]

SmackDown was in Wheeling? God damn it. Wish I'd known.

On topic, not really surprised they're taking Tazz of SD.

[The Icon of Elisim]

Tazz should be a manager if they dont have Cyrus or Gertner lined up to announce with Styles. And if they dont then Styles would still do fine alone but Tazz-Styles would work fine

[Joey Slugs]

Rumor has it that Taz is going to bring back Team Taz (and if that's the truth... I can see him wrestling again in a program with Angle)

[PullMyFinger]

Stevie Ray will be the new Smackdown announcer. :shifty:

[Ben Rodrigues]

Team Taz!? Get the fuck out. That would be awesome.

[RVDmark]

Team Taz vs Team Angle :shifty:

[Dave Youell]

Hmm, who could do the commentry with Cole?

There's that Hispanic guy who does the backstage stuff.
Tod Grisham *shudders*

Umm that's about it, shit!

[Innovator]

I heard Simon Dean might do commentary

[Avenger]

Todd Grisham probably. Vince is high on him after he did a RAW main event recently.

[Corkscrewed]

Not major IMO. It was pretty obvious that Tazz would go with ECW.

But yea, too bad they can't have JBL be announcer. :lol:

[mrslackalack]

Didnt Booker T say he wanted to announce after hes done.

[mrslackalack]

I wish Hennan was able to do it.

[Goulet]

I wish Hennan was able to do it.

I don't know who this "Hennan" is that you speak of... but HEENAN would be awesome

[Extreme Angle]

they kinda gave it away the other day on wwe.com...
i looked on the ecw page and tazz was one of the superstars alogn with kurt angle and RVD

[Innovator]

Not major IMO. It was pretty obvious that Tazz would go with ECW.

But yea, too bad they can't have JBL be announcer. :lol:funny you say that, cause thats another name being discussed

[NeanderCarl]

Vince should swallow his pride and make Jesse Ventura an offer he cannot refuse.

I rarely, if ever, watch Smackdown, but if "The Body" was on the mike, I'd definitely check it out.

[Skippord]

Josh EFFING MATTHEWS

[James Steele]

Josh Matthews = Awesome

[mrslackalack]

Wasnt Ventura rumored to rejoin WWE as an annoucer when he left as Gov? I wish he would so we can finally get matches on DVD's with his commentary instead of it being left out.

[NeanderCarl]

Ventura obviously has no problem working for Vince in the right circumstances ever since the bridged were rebuilt at SummerSlam 99.

He worked as an announcer for XLF and was at the Hall of Fame.

All Vince has to do is get over his legal battering from Ventura and give the guy a full-time gig.

[Ben Rodrigues]

Anyone notice the semi fuck up at the WWE vs ECW Head to Head - Where Lawler called Taz a Smackdown! commentator and Taz said something along the lines of "Yeah, I was.. I MEAN! I am! I am a Smackdown! commentator!"?
