Smackdown spoilers

Kurt comes out and says he has a trophy that he is going to give to one person that will be determined by a series of matches then a vote on WWE.com. The winner also gets a title shot.

Bradshaw arrived in a limo with bull horns on the front. He made fun of his limo driver for being Mexican.

Big Show vs. Rikishi
Boring match where Show got the win after a choke slam.

Rey Mysterio and Spike vs. The Chavos
Spike won with a Dudley dog on Chavo.

After the match Bradshaw beat up both men.

RVD vs. Charlie Hass
RVD and Hass were both counted out then Angle came out and said he will decide the winner on points and he declared Hass the winner.

Booker T is in the back with Angle. Booker says he would be a good champion for SD. Angle then enters him into the tourney thingy. He says he will have to fight non other then HARDCORE HOLLY!

Booker T cuts a promo that wont air on how people in Columbus are ugly. Your preaching to the choir Book.

Booker T vs. Holly
Boring match that Booker won with a rollup with the tights.

Akio and Sakoda vs. The Dudley boys
Dudley boys won with a 3D on Akio.

Holly comes out and calls out Booker again. AKA they retaped the ending that Holly messed up.

Eddie arrives and talks it up with Bradshaw’s limo driver.

Rene Dupree comes out to watch the next Cena match.

Cena does a lackluster rap.

Cena vs. The FBI
Cena beats them pretty quickly after an FU on the bull.

Next Angle comes out and announces that the people that you can vote for on WWE.com for the number one contender are: Big Show, Charlie Hass, Booker T, Cena and a man who everybody can respect… BRADSHAW!

Eddie comes out and cuts a promo but its cut short when Bradshaw rides out in his limo. Bradshaw talks about how successful he is and how the only thing he doesn’t have is the WWE title but he soon will. Bradshaw goes on to say what he did last week was for the sake of business and it was nothing personal. Eddie says his personal life is his business. So he runs after Bradshaw who tries to hide in his limo roof but ends up getting his hat taken from him. Eddie taunts Bradshaw about his hat and has fans pour food and spit in it. Bradshaw complains about how his hat was $1,000 now it’s worthless. That’s when the show ends. IMO Bradshaw did a great job at playing a heel. I guess he took a lot of lessons since last week.

After the show Bradshaw calls out Eddie but instead gets Undertaker.

Bradshaw and Taker stand in the ring and Bradshaw is really nervous. He delivers a funny speech about a lot of things like how they are from Texas are veterans and go way back. He says stuff like I could punch you out right now but I don’t want to I wanted Eddie to come out. Bradshaw ends up getting a choke slam then a tombstone.

Biggest Pops
1. Cena
2. Undertaker
3. Eddie

Biggest Heat

1. Bradshaw
2. Booker T (during the anti-Columbus promo)
3. Hardcore Holly (when he came back out to challenge Booker again after the fans turned on him towards the end of the match)

OI stop knicking my topic titles, this is what I call my topics about smackdown spoilers you thief :rant:

[Rammsteinmad]

Ever since Wrestlemania Smackdown seems to have gotten really shite.

Hopefully Booker T will be number one contender. Booker T VS Eddie Guerrero will be good.

[SeanMC]

I liked last weeks smackdown a lot, i dunno why ppl disliked it, but this episode seems really shite like the guy above said.

[Dave Youell]

Last weeks was really good, this weeks was really weak.

But it's setting up for next week to build up a fued for the number 1 contender.

I can't see Booker being named number 1 contender as Taker has been working house shows with him recently, if anyone was gonna be picked i'd say it was Cena as it's a wwe.com poll and he's the only face who was picked.

But the poll will be rigged and it will probably be Bradshaw

Hopefully they can have a smackdown match over it and not waste PPV time with it.

Overall the show wasn't great, but there's no point in wasting any A grade materail they may have so far away from a PPV

[SuperSlim]

this episode seems like crap... hopefully it won't look like crap... I'ma go vote now :shifty:

BRADSHAW!

[El Santo]

So the Undertaker finally shows up... after the cameras stop rolling? Odd booking strategy.

[Fryza]

VOTING HAAS

EVERYONE VOTE HAAS :mad: I know it won't do good since it's only an angle...BUT VOTE HAAS ANYWAY. :mad:

[Splaya]

Haas blows.

Now Shelton Benjamin: :y: :y: :yes:

[tucsonspeed6]

I'm gonna vote for for Haas because I once heard that Vince likes Haasses and so that means that he'll probably win anyway.

[The CyNick]

its wierd, last week a lot of people were saying how bad the spoilers looked, but when I watched Smackdown on Thursday I thought it was really good.

Some of this doesn't sound too great, no blow away matches (RVD-HAas is likely pretty good), and a lot of talking. But they have to get Bradshaw over, and it sounds like his interaction with Eddie is good.

The #1 contenders tourny sound slike a cool idea, especially with the website stuff. My guess is that this will lead to Bradshaw vs Cena next week. I could see some kind of deal where Bradshaw is announced as the winner, but then Cena reveals that Angle fixed the voting. They have a match on SD, Dupree interferes and Bradshaw wins. That way you give Bradshaw a win over a top guy, and after Bradshaw loses to Eddie you can set up a US title program with Cena.

Its wierd that they areb't using Taker on TV, I guess they haven't made a final decision what to do with him. I really hope they keep him away from BT and Bradshaw, because they need those guys to headline PPVs, and if UT kills them it makes Eddie look like a second rate champ. Show isn't doing anything, that seems like a more logical feud for Taker.

[MVP]

I'm starting to like Bradshaw a little more each week, actually scratch that, I'm liking his gimmick more and more, not his wrestling. Bradshaw is proving himself on the mic, but he needs to be in some main event matches, and try to look good before I'm convinced that he's worthy of a title shot.

I think Smackdown's going a little overboard with Kurt Angle's appearances. I really don't want to see Angle get as annoying as Eric Bischoff; always in a backstage angle between each match. Especially since Angle is a heel GM, an madly overused character.

[rottednation]

Forget HAAS, and forget about ANGLE. They litereally are killing SD!, actually the writers are. I believe that Angle would love to wrestle, it sucks...

[Corkscrewed]

^ And you know this for a fact because......?


Anyway, Cynick probably has the right strategy right now. We'll have to bear with them on SmackDOWN, since they're in the process of creating new stars, and that can be awkward. It will be a little ragged for a little bit as the new wrestlers fall into place.

Now would have been a great time to start up a few CW feuds though. As for UT, it shows that even the writers have no idea what to do with him, LOL. He was so focused with Kane that after he beat him soundly and cleanly, he had no one else to really do anything with.

A feud with Show would probably work, though. You just need a reason... or something. Maybe Show can cut a promo one night and brag. "No one alive can beat me" etc.... (overused line, yes, but I can't think of anything else logical) and then GONG!

Just my two cents.

[CBright7831]

Well, Taker and Brock were supposed to feud, and Brock quit.

[tucsonspeed6]

Forget HAAS, and forget about ANGLE. They litereally are killing SD!, actually the writers are. I believe that Angle would love to wrestle, it sucks...

:wtf: Dude, do you even know what litterally means? I don't think you do, because neither of these guys are bringing WMD's to the smackdown shows and killing everyone in attendance, which is what litterally killing Smackdown is. You're like some kind of highschool kid, aren't you? :roll:

[the_rock's_#1_fan]

I believe (OBVIOUSLY) that sending Jean-Paul ("Trips"/"HHH"/"Triple H") LaVesque back to RAW was a huge mistake...they need to have Angle make a trade for Kane, and send a big SD! superstar over to RAW, and develop an angle where Undertaker and Kane SEEM to be feuding for a few weeks, maybe even months, and then turn UT heel and have Taker and Kane become the tag team they once were...if ne1 has ne more suggestions on how SD! could be improved, feel free to post.

[Corkscrewed]

Let him be. We've been due for another total retard noob who has an overly bombastic typical smark opinion WITHOUT backup and can't type correctly to save his own life.

I'll tell you that people would spit on that idea.

1. UT and Kane just had a really intense feud, and a few months later they team up like nothing happened? That's taking "if you can't beat them, join them" way too far.
2. It's been done before and would be boring.
3. Kane has no credibility anymore. See this past RAW when Tajiri threw up on him as evidence.
4. If you want suggestions, go do me a favor and dig up and bump my "Long Term Planning for SD!" thread I had a week ago. It basically established plans through the end of the year throughout the roster. :shifty: :cool:

[SeanMC]

I bet the guy who said they're killing SD! hasn't watched SD! for months if you ask me, but yeah whatever they ain't killing SD! though they should've moved taker to raw but i guess they can't have taker n hhh on the same show buring everyone on the roster, that's HHH's job only! Really though, who would you make taker feud with on SD!?considering the lack of heels maybe it would have to be booker T taking from the results of the house shows recently i guess..

[Goldbird]

The point is words will never be better than real life wrestling shows. The show may seem boring when u read the spoilers but i can assure it will be a total different case when u watch the show on tv.

For me, i try my best not to read the smackdown spoilers and then watch smackdown on thursday. To my amazement, i found smackdown interesting and fresh, not like raw, which is total F****** crap.

[El Santo]

Is it just me, or did I hear quite a few Booker T chants during his match? My guess is that if you're trying to put Booker over as a legit heel, you don't book him against Hardcore Holly. Absolutely nobody will cheer Holly. Booker is just one spinaroonie away from turning face again, btw.

Also, it looks like Haas has been invading Cena's old wardrobe. :)

Bradshaw's turning out to be a pretty interesting heel. You know what? When Angle returns to wrestling, I think Bradshaw should take over the role as General Manager. Barring a potential return of Paul Heyman, of course.

[Kane Knight]

I can't see Booker being named number 1 contender as Taker has been working house shows with him recently, if anyone was gonna be picked i'd say it was Cena as it's a wwe.com poll and he's the only face who was picked.

but with a heel GM, odds are he'll throw that out or some such shit, especially with him backing Bradshaw right now...

[Kane Knight]

BTW, I don't know what people have had against Smackdown the last couple of weeks...I thought this was quite the solid show.

Then again, I wasalso enjoying Bradshaw's heel role, so I might've sustained some head trauma...

[The CyNick]

Yeah I thought the show was pretty good as well. Once again the spoilers come back really negative, then I watch the show and its solid.

I really liked Bradshaw again last night. I still dont like the thought of him main eventing due to his lack of talents in the ring, but if he can step up his game like he has with his promos, he might not be half bad.

Is there anyone on either roster more over than Cena? I dont think there is.

Teddy Long is da man, "oh sorry just ran out, check your though

I heard from the tapings that people were chanting for Booker and yelling Holly sucks. I thought that match was too long. I know they are trying to make Holly into one of those guys who puts up a good fight with top guys but always falls short. Problem is, not many people really like him. They would almost be better off giving that spot to Billy Gunn, who at leats some people get behind, sorta.

[RGWhat316]

Well it looks as if either Cole or Tazz are trying to turn heel the way they were arguing last night. And Cole keeps getting pissed when Cena keeps making fun of him. And surprised Dupree didnt make fun of Tazz for calling his dog "Snif-fi" :lol:

Hey, I'm a Cena fan too, but it's amazing how he got the biggest pop of the night by a mile.

[El Santo]

If the MUST have Holly on TV, they should have him as a heel. People naturally don't like him, so it would fit. The downside: he'd still be on TV, and the heat would be more X-Pac heat than anything.

[RGWhat316]

And since when is Bradshaw from NYC. Is this another of being a heel that he's no longer from Texas.

[The CyNick]

And since when is Bradshaw from NYC. Is this another of being a heel that he's no longer from Texas.

The idea is that he is a corporate sellout so now he's living in NYC, with Wall Street and what not. It makes sense because now he can go into Texas and talk about how he left Texas for bigger and better things in NYC. Plus with Texas being a border state, the people will get 100% behind Eddie.

On top of that when he goes to NYC he can talk down to everyone, and he'll still get heat.

[Corkscrewed]

My salsa's from.... New York City.

NEW YORK CITY?! :lol:

[PureHatred]

Smackdown Thoughts:

I thought the final segment dragged on too long and didn't really deliver. But I am enjoying the heel turn by Bradhsaw. I'm just dreading his in-ring work.

I love Chavo's new music.

Why is Chavo Sr in the ring? That spot should've gone to Jamie Noble. Or some other heel CW.

I agree that SD is going to be shaky until a real heel presence is established.

I hate that Taz and Cole are playing up the heel/face announcer schtick. During the Holly/Booker T match they spent more time hyping each other up about 'defending the locker room' than they did calling the ringwork. It was very VERY Lawler/JR-like. I always liked SD because it was the 'wrestling show.' The announce team helped give it that feel...Taz was even-handed and knew the names of all the moves. I F'N hate the fact that slowly Cole & Taz are becoming the King and good Ol' JR.

Rene Dupree cracks me up. So does Teddy Long.

Are we sure the Undertaker came back?

Haas need new tights. And they need to push the Haas of Pain as a lethal submission move.

And finally....just counting the minutes 'til Angle gets back in the ring.

[Kane Knight]

On top of that when he goes to NYC he can talk down to everyone, and he'll still get heat.
he's trying to do the whole noveaux riche idea. The Beverly Hillbillies, but not so exaggerated and "down to earth."

He's made it big, so he's moved to the big city, because he's better than all that trash. He's also better than most New Yorkers, because he's a winner, and they're mostly breaking even at best.

In other words, what CyNick said. It's a great gimmick--It's just too bad the guy's still shit in the ring.

And stop calling it the Clothesline from Hell, DAMMIT! What more? He can show how upper class he is by screaming YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW! as he does it?

[PureHatred]

What would you suggest? The Hostile Takeover? The Bottom-Line? The Wallstreet Whiplash? The Offshore Bank Account? ;)

[Kane Knight]

LMAO

[Kane Knight]

Maybe he should go to Triple H for some advice, since he used to be a greenwhich blueblood...You know, if Greenwhich is yuppy enough for him. :D

[rottednation]

:wtf: Dude, do you even know what litterally means? I don't think you do, because neither of these guys are bringing WMD's to the smackdown shows and killing everyone in attendance, which is what litterally killing Smackdown is. You're like some kind of highschool kid, aren't you? :roll:

Dude, don't be a f*cking little dick about it. I think that the whole storyline about Kurt sucks, his gimmick as GM isn't all that great, and Haas could also do much more, but the writers are holding them back... ...get your hit straight. Is the main reason you post on here is to talk shit? Whatever, I need not bother with some little prick such as yourself...

[Corkscrewed]

Suggest ways to improve them.

[tucsonspeed6]

Indeed. Since I'm here only to talk shit. I think I'll change my ways and suggest in a reasonable manner how Angle and Haas aren't "literally" killing SD. Being that this is a very old thread that got brought back from the dead, I'll make this breif.

Angle: The writers are all to blame. Yes, that's it. They wrote in a little gimmick back when he was training for the olympics that he would break his neck. Then they wrote in that he would need career ending surgery (for the most part...) years later and they did this to make him GM. No, that's not it. He really did break his neck and can only wrestle at major PPV's (if at all). He has a little girl at home and he doesn't want to raise her from a wheelchair. I love the guy, and I'm glad that he's at least on the air as a GM.

Haas: Holding him back? You think they should let him go like a freebird, straight to the top? The post I replied to said "Forget Haas." because he was killing Smackdown. Now you want him to Main Event? Sorry. I'm being a little dick again, aren't I? You shouldn't get so mad about these statements, you know. I admitted in the Eugene thread that I said some unfunny, not so intelligent things without resorting to name calling. As for Haas, to get back to business, how fast can they push the guy? Brock Lesner fast? Sure, Benjamin got a hefty push on Raw, but how long will that last? He's not actually wrestling against HHH in the PPV, is he? I don't think he's even IN the ppv. Patience is a virtue. We all saw this with the slow-to-develop Jericho/ Trish storyline. Developing Haas as a main event talent is going to be a slow process, and even though it seems that his equally tallented tag team partner shot off like a bullet, straight for the top, he'll come back down and even the pace with Haas in no time. So whether he needs the push or if he's killing the show, he'll eventually make his way to the top no matter what.

The end.
