WWE Smackdown Taping Results to be aired on 3/25/04

[Evil Vito]

The following report is courtesy of Steve Tavalire and wrestlingobserver.com.

Dark Match:

Rico pinned Jaime Noble


Velocity:

-Billy Gunn & Hardcore Holly beat Akio & Sakoda when Holly pinned Akio with the Alabama Slam in about 8 min.

-Mark Jindrak beat Tyson Dux in a 2 min. squash.

-Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi beat Nunzio and Stamboli when Rikishi pinned Stamboli with a Samoan Drop in about 8 min.


Smackdown:

-Triple H music plays but Kurt Angle comes out and talks about how is the Smackdown commissioner and is giving up wrestling for now. Then he announces that he traded Triple H for the Dudley Boyz and Booker T. A lot of people seemed unhappy about that.

-Booker T comes out and does a promo basically saying he doesnt want to be on Smackdown because RAW is the superior brand and Smackdown is the minor leagues.

-RVD beat Charlie Haas in about 6 min. with a roll up.

-Renee Dupree beat Billy Kidman with a very safe Juvi driver in about 3 min.

-John Cena comes out to the biggest of the night and does a rap introducing Dupree to Smackdown.

-Eddie Guerrero and Booker T. have a fight backstage because Booker says that Eddie is the minor league champ.

-Dudley Boyz beat Bashams with a 3D in about 6 min.

-Chavo Guerrero beat Spike Dudley in about 5 min.

-Bradshaw comes out and does an interview about how great of a financial analyst he is. I guess he is a heal now, no one cared.

-Eddie Guerrero beat Booker T by DQ when Bradshaw came out and attacked Eddie. The match was 16 min long.

This show was pretty bad. I went to RAW on Monday and thought it was a much better show. RAW is also really stacked now getting Triple H back. Most everyone seemed disappointed with the show. The arena was pretty full about 95% but it is a really small arena.

WHY THE FUCK IS BRADSHAW GETTING A MAIN EVENT HEEL PUSH?

[The Mackem]

OMG Bradshaw is getting a push

[The Mackem]

And look without Paul Heyman, Smackdown looks pretty crap, or is it because of Bradshaw's push?

[Mikey]

Booket T and Bradshaw are heel now?

[Splaya]

I love this Booker T heel thing already. I've hated him as a face, but now I think this will really help his character get a good push. He had become stale as a face. Bradshaw getting a push though . It's actually really sad. All this draft did was boost the tag team division on SD! Send cruiserweights to Raw to be fodder for Triple Gay, and really give Eddie no good competition. Thing is Vince must have saw how terrible HHH looked when he was compared with someone that could wrestle a decent match.

[Shaggy]

I always thought they should make Booker T heel but now that he is on Smackdown and so is RVD dont you think they should become a teg team again. And Bradshaw is finally getting a Push . Thats pretty amazing. I dont fans will enjoy it and eventually it will just fade away. I dont really think anyone expected Kurt Angle to be named the GM of Smackdown. I was very surprised when I read that. But I guess with his neck injury and the point being made that his career could be over I guess that was the right move to make.

[Splaya]

I change my mind about Eddie having no good competition. He can feud with a heel booker T and a heel Bradshaw But more importantly, I think he has to feud with RVD and RVD has to win the title. Imagine the matches these 2 could pull off.

[CBright7831]

Where the hell is The Undertaker?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Splaya]

Holy shit, I didn't think about that.


Damn it

[CBright7831]

Did the WWE forget Taker was still an employee?!?!?!?

[SeanMC]

F-uck that@hhh being traded back to raw, what a f-uckin pussy he is, why would angle make that dumb move?I knew hhh would go back to raw though, i just couldn't see him on smackdown, it kinda makes the whole lottery thing pointless if theyre gonna do trades, why not just make angle the GM and he could make trades then anyway?Infact while they're at it, thye might aswell trade shelton benjamin back to SD n reform WGTT if they wanna boost the tag team division on SD, well you can always trust the wwe storyline writers to f-uck up i guess...

[The CyNick]

Well the morons have taken over the book again.

Booker T says he doesn't want to be in the minor leagues, I wonder whose idea this angle was?

[KingofOldSchool]

I called it.

[PureHatred]

Are you "woo"-ing because you called it, or because you think that oaf getting a push is a good thing?

[Wondermouse]

I think Triple H got traded back to RAW because we're going to see a RAW vs. SmackDown war and Trips was very much on the side of RAW if only because of Evolution.

[mikeoldmac]

SEAN MC why is Triple H a pussy?he doesnt write the storylines and stuff!despite what you read on the internet

That's the same thing I was asking.

Maybe ummmm I dunno...the bookers?!

[Sephiroth]

Bradshaw ****!

WTF NO UNDERTAKER AAAAAHHHHH. i guess WWE did forget he worked for them. Since they didnt show him in the RAW and SD brawl....that was a bad thing on WWE's part. and now not even showing him on SD? they better give him a very good reason to come out since he hasnt yet

[PureHatred]

Maybe the WWE realized his Cowboy/Deadman look was terrible so they took a week to revamp it. Or, he sprained his urn.

[RGWhat316]

Seems different, but interesting. Booker T has been a face for nearly 2 years, so I guess that was due. But if they remain a team, is RVD gonna turn heel also? Dupree moves to SD and immediately picks up a win. And do we know yet if Angle is still a heel?

[Fox]

Sounds pretty shitty to me.

Why is it that after the shows get drafted, Bradshaw always gets a push with a really horrible gimmick? First it was the "gay cowboy/hardcore champion" gimmick on RAW, with Bradshaw adding horns to the front of the Hardcore title belt to make it the gayest title strap in history. And now it seems he's going to be a "smarter than thou" financial analysist. What the **** is wrong with the WWE?

Booker T has never really done it for me, but that's probably because his heel character is usually made to look like an idiot. Remember his "Einstein's Theory on Relatives" promo? Yeah. Pretty stupid. Maybe if they make him a serious heel then it'll be alright, but honestly, I'm not too excited about Smackdown's line-up.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Oh god. LOL, Bradshaw? Give me a break.

[The Iron Yuppie]

If Booker 's a heel, I hope that means Teddy Long will be his manager. Teddy hasn't managed anyone good since D'Lo got fired. "The Book will be thugging and bugging, ya feel me playa?"

Bradshaw getting a heel push? I guess since A-Train's going to Raw, they had to find a useless hoss that no one cares about to push on Smackdown. I don't know what the stock broker thing has to do with it, unless he's going to be the new "Million Dollar Man". If they're rehashing old gimmicks, couldn't they find a better wrestler to do it than Bradshaw? Like O'Haire(yeah I know, wishful thinking). I usually change the channel when Mr. Shower Sodomy has a match anyway so it really doesn't matter to me. Hopefully Bradshaw's push will fade as quickly as Hardcore Holly's push.

[MVP]

I don't know what's worse, Bradshaw or Hardcore Holly in the main event.

Anyway sounds like Booker T and Eddie Guerrero put on a decent match, hopefully Booker T solidifies a main event spot.

I was personally hoping he'd be Irwin R. Shyster 2K4.

booker t and rvd should definitly NOT be a tag team. rvd should turn heel. booker t is hard to take seriously as a heel, ie his mini-feud with the rock.

deadman 2004 was a desperate,lame-ass attempt at either nastalgia or to revive his lame-ass biker babyface character in the first place. the wwe does not know how to handle anything IMO, including the undertaker. first off they have him come back as a face to feud with Kane, who is on a different program. so he returns to smackdown after beating kane( who is far more entertaining than undertaker these days). anyway, he returns to smackdown, where there are NO heels and strarts a feud with PAUL HEYMAN?????.......... and he's gone too now btw.
i can understand wanting to see the undertaker each week hoping that his new gimmick will get ALOT better VERY SOON, but it probably wont, because this is wwe we're talking about.........and it sucks.

[Paki Crippler]

Booker T heel turn?unsure

Bradshaw push? Boo.

No Triple H on Smackdown? Yes.

HOLY SHIT! IT'S TRIPS IN DISGUISE!!

[Joe Kerr]

So what I got out of that is the raw traded supestars minus spike are going to basicaly dominate to prove that RAW was indeed a greater Brand. So I imagine on RAW the smackdown superstars will get beasted. Booker T as a heel could work as long as its singles wrestling
