Just got back from the show in Omaha - the building can hold 17,000, but I'd say 6,000 tops - pretty sad - lots of black tarps.
Smackdown:
Tazz & Cole enter
Pyro
Tough Enough contestants shown walking with Al Snow to the locker room - Big Show kicked them out saying they had'nt earned it - so they came to the ring and each cut 20 second promos - then Big Show came out and gave each a body slam. (Personal note: as a wrestler in training my self, I hated this segment, one or two of them took good bumps, the rest were horrible. Even worse, after each slam, the guys just hoped right up - not selling for a second - just terrible)
Chavo Guerrero d. Nunzio with the Gorry Bomb. Billy Kidman was on comentary, and went to give Chavo the shooting star press, but missed.
Heidenreich begged Heyman to get Undertaker's signature.
Teddy Long said if Booker beats Orlando tonight, he gets JBL at Survivor Series for the title.
Rey Mysterio d. Kurt Angle. Ref bump. Rey went for the 619 but was stopped by Jindrak and Luther - RVD came down, then Eddie ran in, gave Kurt the frog splash, and pulls Rey over for the pin.
Kurt, Jindrak, and Luther are yelling at Eddie, Rey, and RVD in Teddy Long's office - Teddy says at Survivor Series - Kurt and Eddie will each captain a 4 man team for a classic Survivor Series elimination match.
Josh Mathews tries to interview Carlito, but is threatened by Carlito's new associate Jesus - he holds Josh while Carlito spits the apple in his face.
Kenzo tries to sing to Torrie again - but she says he's freaking her out.
Big Show tells Eddie he wants to be the 4th man on his team, Eddie agrees.
Halloween costume contest - Torrie is a fairy, and Dawn Marie is a nurse - before the judging can begin, Miss Jackie attacks and strips Dawn Marie.
All three Dudleys ask for one of them to be the 4th man on Kurt's team, Kurt says if they can get rid on Big Show - he will agree. Spike says no problem, Bubba and D-Von look frustrated.
Booker T d. Orlando Jordan. Afterward JBL almost teased turning on Orlando, but they shook hands - JBL says Booker will be just another opponent in his path.
Fun show live, no Undertaker, so I assume they will film something elsewhere involving Taker and Heyman
