Here are some updates from the ECW/SmackDown! tapings in lovely Tucson,
AZ.
DARK MATCH - Deuce and Domino d. two generic baby face jobbers. The
generic baby face jobbers, suspiciously billed as from Tucson, showed
some generic baby face jobber fire (fringe on boots!), but were
inevitably felled by those jerks Deuce and Domino. Cherry seems like a
nice gal.
ECW - It happened. Who is a more improbable Wrestlemania competitor,
Matt Striker or the Sandman?
SMACKDOWN -
King Booker d. Matt Hardy.
A good, longish back and forth match between these two Money in the Bank
competitors. Booker wins with the scissor kick after some interference
from that JEZEBEL Sharmell.
Kristal interviews Batista backstage. When did Kristal stop being evil?
They show a pretty good video package of each of Undertaker's WM wins.
It's pretty insensitive to show Bossman hanging like that.
John Cena is really popular whenever he's on the tron. Too bad he won't
be here!
Maryse is on screen. Elle est chaude! She welcomes us back. We didn't go
anywhere, Maryse! Silly Maryse.
MVP interrupts Teddy Long looking at a magazine of those divalicious
Divas. He asks for a match with Benoit at WM. Barf.
Kristal catches up with Kane backstage. He's going to wrestle Batista,
and he says that. But in a CREEPY way.
Batista d. Kane
This was a clash not only of titans, but two bona fide hosses. I did not
expect a catch-as-catch can mat classic from these two. What better way
for Batista to prepare for the Undertaker than wrestling someone that
has lost to the Undertaker dozens of times? The crowd was behind both
guys; apparently they have not taken note of Batista's decreased in-ring
performance since returning from injury! Fools. Another long match.
Batista wins cleanly with a powerbomb out of the corner.
More to come!
