Velocity:
Funaki d. Mike Knox. Funaki was very over with the Wheeling crowd, and this match wasn’t a total squash because Knox got quite a bit of offense in.
Tatanka d. Seth James. Tatanka got a nice reaction.
Gunner Scott d. Colt Cabana. Colt Cabana came to the ring dancing, which got a good laugh. Cabana had major heat, though there was a group of people on the upper level who started a “Colt Cabana” chant.
The Pitbulls (Kid Kash & Jamie Knoble) d. Sterling James Keenan & Jon Bolen. The Pitbulls got a nice reaction, though I myself wasn’t too keen on giving them that particular name.
Matt Hardy d. Simon Dean. Crowd was into this one. There were a few Simon chants nearby me, but once Matt came out the place exploded.
Smackdown:
William Regal came out and started talking about what happened to Lashley last week while a video played of it. He then started the “All Hail King Booker” thing again, which was interrupted by Lashley attacking him for a pop.
Psicosis w/Super Crazy d. Brian Kendrick w/Paul London. Great match with an awesome ending with Psicosis catching Kendrick off the top rope with a modified belly-to-belly suplex. Afterwards, Great Khali came out and destroyed them all, but nobody gave it much of a reaction.
Vito (wearing a white dress) d. Nunzio. Besides a small ‘Little Guido’ chant and a lot of booing after Vito won, no one really cared. This was basically a squash, and a rehash of the Regal/Birchill storyline at the same time.
Bobby Lashley d. William Regal via count-out. Booker and Sharmell sat in the throne up at the top of the stage after Sharmell did the All Hail King Booker thing as Booker came out, which was annoying as her voice is irritating. Regal dominated throughout the early going, but the match ended when Regal started being fought back against before knocking Lashley over the top rope. Regal then grabbed a chair and tried to hit him with it, but got speared in mid-swing for the count-out victory.
Mark Henry d. Raymond Rowe in a squash match. Mark Henry got some heat, and some guy behind me tried to start a Mark Henry chant.
Mr. Kennedy d. Scotty 2 Hotty in his return match. Crowd was really behind Kennedy following the two hype videos that’d aired earlier in the night. Scotty got in some offense but it was basically a squash.
Smackdown Bikini Contest w/ Ashley, Jillian, Kristal, and Michelle McCool McCool refuses to disrobe. Ashley got a very nice reaction, Jillian got virtually nothing, and Kristal got a fair amount of cheers.
Backstage, Chavo asked Rey if he was going to go to ECW tonight. Rey said he’d decided, and Chavo let him know that he’d be behind him either way. Rey asked if he’s reconsidered quitting, and then told him “Never say never” before walking off while Chavo stared on.
Michael Cole came out for an interview with Rey Mysterio to find out his choice. Tazz got up from the broadcast table and started talking about how he has decided that he is going back to ECW where he belongs. Paul Heyman came out next to a mixed response.
That led to Rey Mysterio coming out and saying that he’s decided to stay with Smackdown. Heyman told him he respects him, and said good luck because he’ll need it.
Finlay d. Rey Mysterio in a non-title match when Sabu distracted Rey while going for a 619, causing Rey to take him out and giving Finlay long enough to shillelagh Rey in the stomach and hit the Emerald Frusion. The leprechaun got a nice reaction. I had tried to start a Leprechaun chant when Finlay came out, but nobody had any clue what I was talking about. A few people started chanting it once the leprechaun made itself known though.
After the match, Finlay left and Sabu got up, hitting Rey with a chair before setting the chair up in the ring and laying Rey on a table outside before doing his classic running dive through it. Rey continued to sell the bump really well after taping had ended.
