Funaki Vs. Chuck Pulumbo.
funaki got big pop for beating him, afterwords, crowd
gave huge heat to Pulumbo to leave.
Smackdown Starts after Micheal Cole and JBL enter.
Note: Funny thing happened when JBL kicked Cole in the
butt.
Great Kaili enters and Daivari states that the Phenom
is beneth Kaili and he won't accept the challenge.
Undertaker then comes out and the two duke it out with
the taker getting the best of Kaili. It was later
revealed during a segment that the main event next
week is Kaili vs. Undertaker: last man standing
instead of at Summerslam
1st true match,
Tatanka vs. Gregory Helms.
Helms hit the wizard on Tatanka, but his foot was
under the ropes when pinned. Tatanka got a decent pop
for his entrance.
I left for nachos during the Kendrick/London vs.
Idol/James. dont know who won that
WWE diva search was next, when i walked back in
everybody was yelling and giving the whole contest
heat. except for layla, who was given a decent pop
when the audience picked a winner. At one point, I
yelled "Who Cares" to which someone got mad about it.
Luke Perry was the special referree in that contest.
Note: Luke Perry is not young anymore. thank god the
contest ends real soon.
3rd match
Rey Mysterio vs. Ken Kennedy
good match overall, until Chavo ran out and started to
fight Rey. Believe this was deemed a no-contest
Rey was knocked back into Ms. Guerrero during the
confrontation, she got up and yelled like crazy to
each of them.
4th match
Sylvester Turkay vs. some random dude
beat him up, then used the master lock while burke
kicked him. bet Chris is mad his move is being used
Main event for the show
Lashley/Batista vs. Regal vs. Finlay w/little bastard
and booker commentating
pretty good pops for Lashley and Batista-especially
him.
match was pretty much one-sided with Lashley getting
pummeled until he made the tag. finisher was with a
double spear to the King's court for the win. after
which, Batista thanked King B. for holding his Title
and he wants it back.
pops
1. Batista
2. Undertaker
3. Lashley
4. Tatanka
Heat
1. Kaili
2. Helms
3. Turkay
4. Booker/Chavo(though he did recieve some "thank you
chavo" chants
ECW begins
1st match
Tommy Dreamer vs. Mike Knox
Dreamer got screwed by the sellout Paul Heyman, and as
the bodyguards and knox were about to put the whooping
on him, the Sandman entered. at this time it should be
noted that he drenced me with one of his buds when he
was walking on the barrier. nice Sabu shirt I was
wearing. Sandman saved Dreamer only to be put into a
handicap match under traditional rules with Knox/Test.
Lots of heat for them two by the way.
Rene Dupree does a promo for himself, as he is now on
ECW
2nd match,
the vampire dude vs. Al Snow
Snow was squashed real bad to the guy, but his woman
is very hot, especially from my view.
Big show comes out to say how great looking he is and
how no one can beat him. He tells both Angle and Sabu
not to get in his path.
CM Punk's 1st match was revisited and then he shot a
promo. said his second match will be next week, and
that dissappointed alot of fans tonight.
#1 contender's match
Sabu vs. Kurt Angle
Mixed reaction from the crowd. about half for sabu and
half for Angle.
Angle was about to win, When low and behold RVD comes
out and vandaminates him, then Sabu is chair shoted
after RVD mocked him. RVD really got over at the end
ECW ends
Main event for the evening. Booker vs. Batista
Batista wins via DQ when sharmell low blows him.
Booker tried to do the running scissors kick but ened
up in a hellacious spinebuster. Evening ended with
Batista slapping hands in the Crowd.
Funaki over ? didnt catch his name
Divari and Kahli did an interview with the Taker coming out to fight Kahli later on they
announced a last man standing match between the two for smackdown next instead of the ppv.
Gregory Helms beat Tatanka I dont know who the hell thought this was a good idea Helms won the wizzard but the ref didnt see Tatankas foot under the ropes which of course means rematch next week.
Idol and James beat London and Kendrick in a decent match and the crowd really didnt care.
Kenedy over Rey Jr when Chavo ran out to fight with Rey and Vicki broke them up again I just dont like where this angle is going crowd was hot for Rey though.
Next was the 250,000$ rat search it was a talent contest and they hand Luke Perry as a judge cant remember who won but crwod shit on every one of them.
A Boogeyman video ran which got a mild reception.
Vito beat Sylvan the less said the better
Terkay squashed Dustin Starr afterwards him and Burke beat him up some more
In the main event Batista and Lashley beat Finlay and Regal afterwards big Dave and King Booker had a staredown crowd was super hot for Batista.
In the dark match main event Batista over King Booker by dq when Sharmell low blowed big Dave .lasted about 7 minutes and was somewhat decent match.
Overall not a great show but not the worst ever I'd say thumbs in the middle.
