Sounds like a good Smackdown, I might watch it after work.

Mr. Nerfect

Interesting that they re-united The World's Greatest Tag Team so fast. Looking forward to that match.

It seems like both CM Punk and Chris Jericho have gripes to get in the Judgment Day title match, but Umaga is already set to face Punk. I'd rather have seen those two go at it on Superstars, or something, and Punk and Jericho getting in to face Edge and Hardy.

John Morrison answering Rey Mysterio's open challenge would be interesting.

Impact!
05-05-2009, 11:38 PM
Sounds pretty good. I hope they actually do something with Dolph...

Mr. Nerfect
05-05-2009, 11:44 PM
Seems like they are, which is good. I would have liked to have seen him bitching about Sherri slapping him the previous week, which should have caused the disqualification, and using that to leverage himself into an Intercontinental Title shot. He'll get more credibility knocking around The Great Khali, though.

I just got back from the show, and it was pretty damn good. There was a dark main event featuring a Rated RKO reunion vs Batista and Cena, pretty standard match with Cena getting an FU win on Edge after a finisher-fest that saw an RKO to Cena, a Batista spear to Orton, and Edge spear to Batista.

Biggest pops of the night went to Punk and Cena; Mysterio and Morrison got pretty good ones too. The HBM/Undertaker segment of the Wrestlemania video package rivaled the biggest pops of the night. Biggest heat went to Edge, while Orton and Jericho were kind of split between cheers and boos. There was a pretty standard anti-Cena sentiment, with some guys in my section (myself included) chanting "go home Cena."

Oh and when R-Truth entered through the crowd I yelled "who the hell is that nigger." :rofl:

In case anyone is interested, there was Superstars material taped as well; Jericho beat Morrison after a Shelton Benjamin distraction via video screen; Edge hosted the Cutting Edge with Jeff Hardy, and Finlay beat Zack Ryder, who is apparently gay now.

By the way, I had a good view of JR from where I was, and when he isnt commentating he SO looks like he doesn't wanna be there.

Mr. Nerfect
05-06-2009, 12:24 AM

Because that's just hilarious. :roll:

A legitimate thanks for the rest of the report, though.

The humor was less in the nigger bit, and more in the "nobody knows who this guy is" bit. The guy sitting next to me was all pumped up because we noticed them with a camera and a mic about fifteen feet from us, and when it turned out to be him the general vibe was like "...huh?"

Come to think of it it may have been funnier if Id mentioned how close we were to where he came out.

ROFL Tedious.

Theo Dious
05-06-2009, 12:39 AM
McCool catches Kim and hits a body face plant finisher on her followed by a pinfall.

Guy behind me yelled "Styles Clash! She stole the Styles Clash!" when this happened. :lol:

Theo Dious
05-06-2009, 12:41 AM
And there was some douche with a sign that said "HIT MAN" several rows in front of me...wtf.

Theo Dious
05-06-2009, 12:42 AM
BTW, I want the title of this thread changed to "Mr Tedious Goes To Smackdown"

I approve of said thread title change.

* The Great Khali b. Dolph Ziggler
- Khali clothes lines Dolph and follows up with a slap to the chest. Dolph hits him with a chair repeatedly until he knocks him down. The Great Khali gets the win via disqualification.

There was a girl near me, 14 at the very oldest, who was WAY to happy to see Khali.

Theo Dious

Oh, I have to amend an earlier statement, I think the biggest pop of the night was when they announced that Cyber Sunday will be taking place here in October.

I would have given you props if you had said it into his microphone if he had held it up to you. :y:

Also whoever reported these spoilers left out the part where Hardy botched a split-legged moonsault and totally crotched himself.

You should have booed it, because it was Cyber Sunday.

It'll probably be the last ever PPV in Mellon Arena, so either way.

Also there was an even bigger douche running around dressed (and painted) like the Ultimate Warrior. The ushers had to keep making him sit the hell down. When I was stuck in the parking lot afterwards I saw him trying to get a guy up for an FU, and was failing miserably.

Who's to say it wasn't the Ultimate Warrior :shifty:

Looks really good. That's two weeks in a row of solid action on Smackdown. I can't stress enough how much I love Smackdowns roster now. :y:

On another note, funnily enough I have not given two shits about Raw since the draft.

Jericho: You hypocrites how can the superstar of the year accept a challenge given out by a midget for a belt held by the likes Chyna, Val Venus & Goldust.

TBH, I would love it if they'd add an IC title match to Judgment Day between Rey & Y2J, so long as Jericho won the title. Then he could
go on some sort of weekly rant on SmackDown! about how he yet
again broke his own record for most IC title runs at Judgment Day,
with 9 currently, and so on and so forth...

He’s going to need something with Edge being the heel champ and doing that would elevate the title

Plus then we all get to see that top rope rana into a Liontamer which is awesome

Who’s writing for Smackdown right now? Because recently it’s been amazing, is it Hayes? Or did he get pushed out for being a racist?

Ted, do you have any idea where I can find prices for seats for Cyber Sunday? I couldn't make it last night, but I def. want to see the PPV 3 days before my birthday. I heard tix are supposed to go on sale this Saturday.?

I've been looking at Jim Ross for years. I know the difference between "Jim Ross at rest" and something else.

I think JR stopped wanting to be there at least a few years ago.

I miss that to, but the current smackdown theme is pretty good, certainly better than raws.:cool:

Mr. Nerfect

I really miss that SmackDown! theme, too.
