Smackdown Spoilers
From PWtorch.com:
VELOCITY (1) Vito (w/ Nunzio) won a squash. (2) MNM won a squash. (3) Mr. Kennedy deafeated Austin's own Russell Simpson. (4) Juventud Guerrera won a Cruiserweight Battle Royal for a match at No Mercy: Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Funaki vs. Brian Kendrick vs. (Austin's own) Paul London vs. The Mexocools. Nunzio also came to ringside with Vito. This was a great match well worth checking out on the their website. It came down to Spanky, London, and Juvi. Juvi took care of Kendrick who took a pretty sweet bump in the process. Juvi finally threw Paul London over the top rope. Pretty good pop for Juvi, but I was pulling for London. This was a good, fast-paced match well worth checking out. SMACKDOWN TAPING (1) Booker T defeated Orlando Jordan. (2) LOD defeated Paul Birchall & William Regal. (3) Hardcore Holly defeated Sylvain Grenier. (4) Bobby Lashley won another squash. (5) Rowdy Roddy Piper deaeated Bob Orton Jr. & Randy Orton with a roll up. Pretty good match. (6) Chris Benoit & Batista & Rey Mysterio beat JBL & Christian & Eddie Guerrero i the belated Homecoming match. BONUS DARK MATCH (1) Undertaker defeated Randy Orton (w/Bob Orton) via Tombstome Undertaker is just the site to see live. It is electric. This was awesome. BIGGEST POPS Batista (huge) Undertaker Rey Rey London MOST HEEL HEAT JBL (by far) Ortons THE OPTIMISTS! 'Seeing the light in bad booking' Current members: Dave Youell Alienoid06 Impact!

Slyvian, Holly and OJ. Three good reasons why Smackdown is the pits. Why have MNM and the Cruiserweights on a dam internet show? Oh whatever... I'm never surprised by Dave Lagana and the Smackdown team anymore

It's Mae Young syndrome - Holly will be under contract until he dies

It's the fans curse again. The WWE have noticed Kennedy is liked by us internet fans, and so now they're burying him on an internet show, oh the irony.

I just think it's the scheduling for this week. Kennedy hasn't got a match on the PPV this weekend while others have, so it's more important from a business perspective from them to showcase the talents involved this Sunday to hype the event and increase buy-rates (with the exception of Lashley, but you know they're going somehwere big with this guy).
The WWE obviously hold Kennedy in high respects judging by his involvement on Raw this monday and it'd take an idiot not to recognise his popularity. Don't worry - he's set. |

The internet smark community makes up about 5% of WWE's audience. I don't think that's a big enough rationale for putting Kennedy on Velocity. Even so, I'm a smark, I have the internet and I like Kennedy - I'm still not going to download Velocity.
Kennedy is on Velocity for the simple reason that he's got no reason to be on Smackdown the week before a PPV he's not on the card for. That's not my choice however, I'd love to see Kennedy reprise his role as Devil's Advocate between Sharmell and Booker before the fatal four way this week (even though we never actually saw Kennedy in this role on the broadcast - what's up with THAT!?). |

WHY IN THE HOLY CHEESEBALLS IS THE CRUISERWEIGHT BATTLE ROYALE ON VELOCITY!?
No amount of capital letters can truly express my anger right now. |

Honestly, why are you surprised at this? The way cruisers are handled is a regular discussion piece at least every five days

Heres a more detailed one:
Report by: Richard Whittaker, rajah.com reader Change of ring, out come Tazz and Cole to a huge pop and here it is… Smackdown has back to the Erwin Center! Teddy Long and the Network Guy come out to proclaim Monday’s invasion of Raw a huge success, and that it will happen again. Suddenly, the Orton clan interrupt and point out that they were the first ones to invade Raw, not Long. They demand the ring to themselves and show footage of Piper and Foley getting RKO’d. Cue the pipes… it’s Piper, with a lead pipe, clearing house and… saying nothing. Odd. Booker T (w/Sharmel) def. Orlando Jordan. Seems somebody is actually remembering what valets are supposed to do, as Sharmel really pumped up the crowd for Booker. And, on another note, those pyros are hot. I was the far side of the cameras and still felt them from there. JBL cuts a promo from the lobby, then walks down through the crowd, beating up a Rey Mysterio teddy bear and accusing the Hispanic population of Texas of turning it into North Mexico. He then said that UT would loose the Red River shootout this weekend (note to Mack Brown – give Sam a shot). Now that got heat. Video promo for Orton/Taker at No Mercy and then it’s Ken Kennedy AGAIN. They must really like this guy. Anyway, he’s guest commentator for our next match, in which Sylvan unconvincingly beat Bob Holly after a mike-shot from Kennedy, thus setting up Kennedy/Holly at No Mercy. Let’s see of Kennedy can really hang, shall we? Now it’s backstage, where someone remembers that Rowdy Roddy Piper is best with a mike. A great promo cut on Cowboy Bob, confirming the Ortons versus Piper for later tonight. Video for Raw, video for No Mercy and it’s back to the wrestling. Road Warriors and Burchill/Regal fight to a No Contest after a run-in by MnM. Seems that one of the most promising tag teams in years, Burchill and Regal, has become fodder for other people’s feuds. OK, serious note, Paul Burchill is being kept in a holding pattern. This guy is one of the best British talents in years, up there with former NOAH tag champ Doug Williams. When the WWE finally lets him bust out the C-4 Hotwired, his double exploder suplex, you will be shocked, trust me. And backstage again, with Eddie saying he has Batista’s back and it’s all cuddly. Meanwhile, back in the ring, the guy with the t-shirt cannon makes ten people very happy. Aaaaaaaaaand back to the ring. It’s Eddie again, saying he has Batista’s back. The place then explodes because The Animal is here. Batista (remember when people said he couldn’t do promos?) accuses Eddie of levelling him with a chair last week – Eddie is hurt and outraged by the accusation, so Batista sets him a test. In a great moment, he hands Eddie a chair and stands with his back to him. Great theatre. Eddie resists the temptation, but Batista leaves him with no doubt – stab me in the back and I will hurt you. Video promo for Rey and JBL this Sunday, video shilling Viva Las Divas (are they still all even working for the WWE on that disc?), Raw rebound (the return of Trips, and Austin stunning everyone. Hey, kids, how horrible will Austin/Hogan be?). Finally, back to the ring. Orton and Orton (sounds like tax attorneys) take on Rowdy Roddy Piper… and lose! Piper gets the pin after Orton jr high-tails it when he hears the teased tolling of Undertaker’s bell. Yes, takers’ dong is scarier than Roddy Piper. At this point, Orton and Orton are confronted with half a dozen druids, pulling a casket. Via video, ‘Taker tells them to look in the casket – they do, and see mannequins of themselves. Like the one of Taker from three weeks ago, very lifelike – their fake corpse supplier is a genius. During their ‘fish out of water’ moment, the Orton’s fail to notice that Taker has appeared out of nowhere. He clears house and stares them down. Next up, it’s the weekly ‘jobber on Smackdown’ moment as Bobby Lashley creams Eddie Craven while Simon Dean does squats. Very odd. Lashley is a monster and will go far. The pop for the rookie is already huge. A round-up of the No Mercy matches, and it’s our main event: the postponed 6-man tag team bout from Raw. JBL, Eddie and Christian vs Benoit, Batista and Rey. Yup, three No Mercy matches in one night. Batista finally gets the pin on Christian after a bone-jarring spine buster and an excellent match (although JBL should never stand near Dave – it really shows how flabby he’s got). They continued to tease Eddie’s weird face turn as he is the one who actually turns the match for the faces by putting JBL over the top rope, leaving Christian unprotected. He then stays around to hug Rey, shake Benoit’s hand and raise Batista’s arm. He then gets jumped by JBL and Christian, leaving Batista to make the save. That’s it, everyone, except for the unannounced (so many people had left, it wasn’t funny) Orton vs ‘Taker dark match. It’s easy to forget, but Taker is huge, still very good in-ring and had tremendous charisma. He takes the pin after tombstoning both men, and it’s time for home. Sidebar: did this week’s invasion of Raw not happen? Teddy and Eddie mention it, but there are no ramifications from Homecoming whatsoever. No invasion, no Matt Hardy, no McMahon, no nothing. Very bizarre. Apart from that, all very good. Top Pop Batista Taker Benoit (the man is a warrior in the ring and a general out – he did more to run the crowd than anyone else. He needs a title shot against Batista and soon) T-shirt guy (sorry, folks) Rey Top Heat JBL Eddie The Ortons MnM (although Melina off-sets a lot of that by doing the splits) Simon Dean (for just not being very interesting) Top indefinable reactions for those that people were just glad to see Christian. |

Okay, so Eddie goes from trying to end Mysterio's career and take his son, to hugging him?

Its kinda werid that there was no mention of Matt Hardy on SD.
Maybe he wont go to sd and just kept interfering during Edge's matches at Raw again like at the start of thier feud. That will just make Hardy look more like a pussy. Hardy |

I gotta say, where do we get the first results. Sylvan beat Holly, and LOD's match went to No contest. That's three weeks in a row that the results have been wrong.
