Velocity matches

- Sylvan vs Matt Hardy. Sylvan got a lot of heat from the crowd but Hardy got a loud pop one of the biggest during the night matt hardy would defeat sylvan with the twist of fate.

- Gunner Scott vs ? short match with Gunner getting the win. Scott was very over with the crowd as a lot of people were chanting his name.

- Kid Kash and Jamie Noble vs Scotty 2 Hotty and Funaki. good back in forth brawl here the finish came when noble and kash did a doosday type move for the win after the match funaki appeared to be hurt not sure if it was a work or not but lots of paramedics hit the ring and it took 10 minutes to get him out the ring. Scotty and Funaki were very over Kash and Noble really got no reaction from the crowd.

- Gregory Helms vs ? this match was quick as helms hit the nightmare on helm street for the win. Helms got a lot of heel heat from the crowd.

Now it was time for Smackdown!

They play a video to recap the judgment day ppv and show highlights of all the key matches and then out comes JBL who got a lot of heel heat coming out he starts a promo saying that at judgment it was a fluke win and that rey mysterio didn't beat him and that he wanted a rematch tonight for the world heavyweight title.This brought out the paper champion Rey Mysterio who was very over with the crowd he said that JBL put him in matches against men that wanted to destroy him and at judgment day he beat JBL. He said that tonight he wanted to see something he wanted to see JBL defend his U.S. title if JBL had the guts which JBL responded i will take on all challengers and Mysterio said okay well meet your challenger and out came Lashley and it was set U.S title match.

- JBL vs Lashley and with a spear out of no where Lashley becomes the New U.S champion. After the match JBL is in teddy longs office and says that he wanted rey mysterio tonight for the world title and teddy says no you just lost the us belt and thats it no more title shots jbl then looks as if he will hit long and long says if you do that then you will end up like mnm you feel me. JBL says that tonight if long would grant him a title match that if he couldn't beat rey that he would walk away from smackdown and long then agreed to the match tonight for the world title JBL vs REY MYSTERIO.

- Tatanka vs Simon Dean - Tatanka gets the win he was over as well. Backstage on the screen we see matt hardy and teddy long talking and who walks in but the man himself paul heyman he says that he is here to scout talent for his ECW project and teedy long said that he didn't like heyman and didn't want him snooping around his locker room and heyman says i understand and told long it's just business. Note very little reaction for ECW with two people chanting ECW! while everyone else did nothing.

- Mark Henry vs Chris Benoit - Henry had his entrance music done live by the three 6 mafia who were very very over with the crowd mark henry got good heat and chris benoit got a standing ovation as he entered the ring the match basically was designed to put chris benoit out of action as both men were counted out of the ring after the match mark henry beat the crap out of benoit slamming him several times into the post and benoit was bleeding from the mouth as henry left the ring area to alot of boos from the crowd benoit was takin to the back by emt's to a standing ovation.

- Up next was the crowning of Booker T as the 2006 king of the ring and out to present him with the crown was William
Regal who got no reaction from the crowd but that quickly changed when he got on the mic a loud you suck chant broke out as he introduced along with sharmell the one and only King Booker, booker got in the ring and called us his subjects and said that sharmell is the new queen as well and that they would rule smackdown with an iron fist and then william regal said for i think at least 15 minutes all hail king booker he kept repeating it over and over and over my god i thought i was gonna snap whew. Pretty much the booker segment minus the all hail king booker was funny as it got a lot of laughter from the crowd.

- Paul London and Spanky vs Nunzio and Vito - quick match as the new tag team champs got the win. London and Spanky were very over with the crowd as well.

- We see Mysterio in his locker room and in comes chavo guererro and he says that rey is not 100% tonight and that he was gonna go to the ring tonight with him to watch his back hmm next up we see finlay heading to the ring and behind him we see kurt angle talking to paul heyman.( NOTE DIDN'T LAST YEAR AT ECW ONE NIGHT STAND KURT ANGLE LED THE ANTI ECW CRUSADERS FROM SMACKDOWN BUT THIS YEAR HE IS TALKING TO PAUL HEYMAN OKAY WERE SUPPOSED TO FORGET THAT RIGHT OKAY BACK TO 2006 NOW). Finlay comes out to a good reaction from the crowd a lot of finlay fans the guy is really over and so was his opponent the pirate wannabe paul burchill this was a real good match but to quick for me as we would see finlay get the win and from under the ring out comes a midget dressed in green and he along with finlay attack burchill pretty funny.

- Up next WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH JBL VS REY MYSTERIO.This was a very lackluster main event with the crowd behind rey mysterio and me and my section chanting for jbl to beat the paper champion mysterio in the match jbl hit mysterio with a move i forget what it was but he got the three all i know is that mysterio's foot was on the rope and jbl thought he won the belt and there were alot of cheers for this as well then the ref said that the match will continue and rey and jbl brawled in the ring until jbl sent rey into the ref and knocked him "out" and jbl mocked eddie guererro and did the three amigos on rey mysterio a lot of people cheered this as it was jbl paying respect to eddie jbl then went for the clothesline from hell but went right in to the ref and it was in the 619 position on the ropes as rey wanted to hit the move so bad but didn't as he pulled jbl off the ref but jbl lowblowed mysterio which sent him to the outside for the still chair and chavo tried to stop him from getting the chair in to the ring and jbl hit chavo with the chair and jbl got in the ring and tried to hit rey with the chair but rey blocked it and hit a pretty crappy ddt onto the chair and then he hit jbl with the 619 and then the leg drop to get the 123! and your winner and still the undisputed paper world heavyweight champion rey mysterio! and that meant that JBL must leave smackdown so jbl is now gone from the already depleted smackdown roster oh that makes since and thats how the show ended.AFTERMATH: jbl was still in the ring for 10 more minutes as the crowd sang nananana nananana hey hey hey goodbye! and he was pissed and they thanked us for coming and that was it. Pretty much very crappy show in my opinion where was the mexicools and the undertaker or orlando jordan this show sucked to me and alot of other people as well very poor show coming off of the judgment day ppv.

Velocity matches

Jamie Noble and Kid Kash (with chains around their necks) defeated Funaki and Scotty 2 Hotty after Kash hit Funaki with the chain.

Orlando Jordan defeated a jobber. I think his name was Clyde Stanley.

Paul Burchill defeated The Road Warrior by DQ. I didn't see the finish because I was buying a t-shirt but that is what the kid next to me said happened.

Mexicools defeated Vito and Nunzio in a really good match. The crowd was quiet until the finishing sequence which got a good response.


Michael Cole and Tazz come out and they switch the set to SD. No pyro. Strange.

Show opens up with Mark Henry saying that he deserves a World title shot and he wants it RIGHT NOW. He says he has decimated the last 3 World champions, Batista, Angle, and Rey. He said if anyone deserves a shot, it's him. Out comes Angle from behind and he hits the Angle Slam on Henry. Loud "Let's Go Angle" chants.

Bobby Lashley defeated William Regal rather quickly with a spear. Cut a promo about how even though he didn't win KOTR, he's still rising straight to the top.

Teddy Long is backstage and said that there will be a match for the #1 contender to the World Heavyweight title tonight and it will be between Mark Henry and Kurt Angle in a Judgment day rematch.

Booker T is in the ring with his robe and crown and his mic didn't work. tee hee hee. After a few awkward minutes that will probably be edited, Booker gets on the mic and goes on about how he should be in the #1 contender match because he is the King. He says he doesn't get any respect and things are about to change around here. He was congratulating himself and promised that as King, Smackdown would be changing real soon.

Finlay beat Tatanka via count-out when a midget elf came out and took Tatanka's headgear and ran off with it. Tatanka chased him to the back and allowed Finlay to attack him from behind.

One of the MNM guys walks in London and Kendricks dressing room and they jump up ready to fight. He said he had no beef with them and respected them for beating them fairly. He said he also wants to prove he can be fair and asks for a rematch. They ask who his partner is going to be and he says he'll let them know.

One half of MNM and Matt Hardy defeated London and Kendrick in a non-title match. They shook hands after the match.

JBL is in the ring and says that he has a few things he needs to address. He said that he was watching Raw on Monday and that he couldn't believe that after the ass kicking that ECW took last year that they are coming back for some more. He said on June 11th (nice plug) he would be at ECW ONS again and drink beer and kick ass. He said no one drinks more beer and kicks more ass. This prompted a Stone Cold chants but instead the lights went out and THE SANDMAN ATTACKED HIM! JBL retreats to the back as the ECW music plays.. (no Enter Sandman).

They played a Diva Search promo on the screen that prompted some pretty loud boos. Of course, it will be edited.

Gunner Scott defeated Gregory Helms in a non-title match with a headbutt from the top rope. Boy, they are just burying the champions tonight. Solid match though.

Rey Mysterio is in the back and he walks passed Daivari who is talking to Mark Henry about his title match after he beats Kurt Angle tonight. Both of them were out of Mysterio's view with Henry's back to the camera. They overlook him and when Rey is out of sight of the camera, Henry steps to the side showing Daivari was actually talking to Chavo, who looked shook up.

Khali and Daivari in ring promo. Something about destroying the Undertaker. Promised the Undertaker would never be back after the humiliating loss he took.

Promo for a fatal four way US title match on SD next week between JBL, Finlay, Lashley, and Benoit. I guess this means the number one contender wont be facing Rey for the title next week.

Mark Henry defeated Kurt Angle with the Worlds Strongest Slam after Daivari low-blowed Angle while he had Henry in the Ankle lock. Henry continues to beat Angle down until Mysterio makes the save, allowing Angle to regain his senses and defend himself. Show goes off the air with Henry and Rey staring each other down.

Advertised Dark match was Rey vs Henry for the World Heavyweight title but they had Rey and Angle vs Henry and Khali in a tag match. We left before the match even started.
