A Championship Evening

Tuesday’s ECW on Sci Fi will be a golden night, as the Land of the Extreme will host two title matches. After winning a Triple Threat Match last week, CM Punk has earned a chance at Chavo Guerrero’s ECW Championship. Will the Straightedge Superstar finally reclaim ECW gold, or will the self-proclaimed “Mexican Warrior” retain the title?

Colin Delaney has found a strong ally in Tommy Dreamer, as the duo was victorious over The Miz & John Morrison on ECW on Sci Fi. Delaney and Dreamer will face the devious WWE Tag Team Champions again next week, this time for the gold. Have the youngster and the Original finally hit their stride in the ring enough to win a WWE Tag Team Championship next week, or will the reigning tag champs remain on top?

Also on ECW, Stevie Richards won his third straight match since returning to the Land of the Extreme. This week, Richards beat Mike Knox, proving he’s back in the game. With buzz of gold circulating in ECW, what’s in store for the ECW Original?

Find out the answers to all of these questions and more on the next ECW on Sci Fi, Tuesday at 10/9 CT

Big Things Poppin'



Unable to defeat Batista in their previous one-on-one non-title encounters and in their tag match this past Friday, the stakes will be even higher Friday on SmackDown when MVP faces The Animal with the United States Championship on the line.

The Ballin’ Superstar is out to prove that he is better than everyone else, while Batista will undoubtedly look to capture gold before he heads to a powerhouse showdown with Raw’s Umaga at WrestleMania XXIV. Will the former World Champion capture the title before he faces the Samoan Bulldozer in Orlando, Fla.? Or will Montel Vontavious Porter finally put his money where his mouth is and find a way to tame The Animal?

Big Show made his dominant return to the ring this past Friday, decimating his two opponents in a Handicap Match. Now, the giant heads to Raw where he will take on a professional fighter in preparation for his WrestleMania challenge with Floyd “Money” Mayweather. The “World’s Largest Athlete” has promised to break Mayweather when they face off on March 30 in the Citrus Bowl. Will Show send another powerful message to the WBC welterweight champion on Raw? Will the brazen Mayweather have anything more to say about the huge challenge ahead of him, when he puts reward ahead of risk and his entire career on the line at WrestleMania?

Lastly, Jesse & Festus have blazed a trail of victories since the duo returned to SmackDown, none bigger than their non-title win this past Friday over WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison. Will their win over the cocky duo give the “biscuits ‘n’ gravy” tandem a chance at gold?

Find out the answers to all these questions and more on SmackDown, Friday at 8/7 CT on The CW Network.

[klunderbunker]

Anyone else going to be here for this tonight?

[PhoenixFan89]

Maybe i will tune in once in awhile, but im mainly sitting here playing COD4, but ill be here.

[jrhonaker]

yeah i suppose i'll be here as well.

[klunderbunker]

I like delaney more and more every time i see him.

[jrhonaker]

yeah. i like the whole idea with bringing back a mikey whipwreck kind of thing.


haha what the hell is this??.

he's terrified lol

[PhoenixFan89]

Colin just went around swinging the chair lol!!!! he was about to hit tommy.

[jrhonaker]

lol funny stuff.

i'm starting to really like this angle.

[PhoenixFan89]

Shelton keeps impressing me more and more

[jrhonaker]

this match doesn't intrigue me.

i love shelton.

but i'm not liking this all too much.

if he goes down to stevie i'll be a little dissapointed

[PhoenixFan89]

Mitb is gonna be a good match

[jrhonaker]

hardy will take it easyyyy

[PhoenixFan89]

Yeah my money is on hardy too, but im just anticipating all the high risks spots that are gonna be taken during the match.

[Starchild]

Damn, 3 matches in 30 minutes...that's more than we normally see on 2 hours of RAW.
And why are Burke and Morrison not qualifying for MITB yet???

[PhoenixFan89]

Cuz ecw always gets the scraps left over, it wouldnt surprise me if only shelton is in the mitb from ecw.

[Starchild]

Yea but they got 3 spots left to fill. Who the hell else is gonna be in?
Khali??? I think NOT!!!

[C.M.V.P]

Yea but they got 3 spots left to fill. Who the hell else is gonna be in?
Khali??? I think NOT!!!

Burke, Kane & Khali

[blackhart07]

That would be terrible Khali in the MITB. He can barely do a regular wrestling match let alone a ladder match.

[Starchild]

If Khali gets in....
That would be the worst decision since America chose John McCain to be the Republican presidential candidate.

[scotty16956]

oooooo time for Punk vs Chavo 114

[Big Beck-ah Roethlisberger]

If Khali gets in....
That would be the worst decision since America chose John McCain to be the Republican presidential candidate.

he's the monster heel. every match that involves 4+ people need the monster heel.

[C.M.V.P]

Chavo will win

[Starchild]

That would be terrible Khali in the MITB. He can barely do a regular wrestling match let alone a ladder match.

He actually can't do a regular match either. He just walks around like he's got something stuck up his ass, squeezing people's head and screaming AAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

[C.M.V.P]

he's the monster heel. every match that involves 4+ people need the monster heel.

Indeed

[Starchild]

he's the monster heel. every match that involves 4+ people need the monster heel.

Well with that logic, we could put Big Daddy V in MITB. Now wouldn't that be special...
I could see it now, he climbs the big ladder and at the top the rung breaks, causing him to fall through about 6 tables and then through the ring.

[blackhart07]

It does need a monster heel but cmon Khali, I feel bad for him we all know hes not gonnea be able to physically do the match. Its hard enough for a average wrestler to do a ladder match let alone a guy thats 7 feet 500 pounds.

[Frank the Frowner]

Well with that logic, we could put Big Daddy V in MITB. Now wouldn't that be special...
I could see it now, he climbs the big ladder and at the top the rung breaks, causing him to fall through about 6 tables and then through the ring.

Now that would rule. Khali's run his course... he should be released, but he won't be.

[Starchild]

Or...OR a monster TLC match pitting Khali vs Big Show vs Big Daddy V vs Mark Henry vs Kane vs Colin Delaney

[scotty16956]

punk wont win it till wrestlemania where it will probably be a last chance match like he did with morrison

[C.M.V.P]

It'll be Punk vs Chavo extreme rules match at WM24

[klunderbunker]

Wow haven't seen the smackdown opening in awhile. Oh great edge and vickie...again.

[Milenko]

Edge made me puke when he said Vickie was hot.

[klunderbunker]

That voice of hers is just annoying. Even worse than stephanies. Oh damn he said it again.

[Milenko]

Things that make you go :disappointed:

[klunderbunker]

Edge is such a great heel. The Spears line was great. Geez Vickie's legs look huge.

[Milenko]

Just like the rest of her

[klunderbunker]

Damn I want some biscuits and gravy now.

[Milenko]

I'm liking this match.

[klunderbunker]

Jesse and Festus are a great team. Good chemistry and Punk who is my favorite wrestler. Miz and Morrison are growing on me quickly. Chavo....well he's not bad.

[Milenko]

Eddie>Chavo

M.C. should never say the word sexy again.

[klunderbunker]

I like this festus. Its an original gimmick if nothing else.

[klunderbunker]

Damn. Liking that jersey on Mccool.

[Milenko]

McCool is hot.

Noble is an idiot.

[klunderbunker]

I can relate to him. I'm a country boy just like him, minus the accent that is.

[Milenko]

Why do they have a M.E. in a mid card title match?

[klunderbunker]

Love batista's music.

[klunderbunker]

I think it's because they have nothing to do for mvp so they ahve to give him a pointless minifeud.

[scotty16956]

on my tv it says for the description...previewing the wrestlemania u.s. title match? i wonder if that is because matt and mvp are going to lock it up at 'mania. God i sure hope so. so far there aint much in 'mania

[klunderbunker]

Just can't picture batista getting the title. Wouldn't make much sense.

[Milenko]

Batista will not win the U.S. title it would be a step back for him. It would be like HHH winning the IC title

[klunderbunker]

Not to mention it would almost kill mvp off. It's one thing to lose to an up and comer but losing to an established main eventer would ruin his build up.

[Milenko]

Indeed

[scotty16956]

god coach sucks as a commentater...he makes them almost as bad as mike tenay and don west

[Milenko]

No one is that bad. he does suck though.

[klunderbunker]

Wow on the bossman/black hole slam. Old school.

[klunderbunker]

Liking this match. Good back and forth match.

And of course the obligitory bs ending.

[scotty16956]

wow batista got in the ring slow

[klunderbunker]

This right here is proof that Raw is the A show. Do you ever see a smackdown recap on raw? I don't ever remember one.

[Milenko]

I'm pretty sure They have them every week.

[scotty16956]

is hornswoggle wimpering like a lil bitch

[klunderbunker]

Ah. They very well might. I tend to flip around a lot when Raw is on. Still not liking this hornswaggle storyline. It sounds like jbl raped him or something.

[Milenko]

I hate Ne1 picking on someone smaller than them because they can. This Storyline sucks.

[scotty16956]

ha ha ha jaime noble just said tarnation

[klunderbunker]

I don't get why jbl jumped in and helped vince. Finlay and jbl could be decent though.

[scotty16956]

can jbl fued with somebody without bringing their kids into it?

[Milenko]

no.

[klunderbunker]

Is it just me or are there more commericals than usual tonight?

[Milenko]

Meh, it gives me time to put music on my Ipod

[klunderbunker]

I need to do that too. I downloaded batista's song the other day, great song. Hostess is kind of hot. Another swimsuit contest?

[scotty16956]

i think so OMG kim kardashian at WM how many more celebs are there gonna be

[klunderbunker]

Maryse, much hotter than i remember. Ah and my favorite. Victoria. Damn.

[Milenko]

tons.

[scotty16956]

wats with the motorcycle thing?

[klunderbunker]

That was weird to me too. Probably just a cheap way to continue the mccool palumbo story. Damn cherry. Havent see those before. Same with Maryse.

[scotty16956]

whoa victoria dancing havent seen that hahaha fell off the turnbuckle

[klunderbunker]

Michelle, not as great as she's made out to be.

[scotty16956]

nice ass though

[klunderbunker]

She is hot, but theyre trying to make it seem like she's as hot as trish was. They're all hot though.

[scotty16956]

u would think smackdown would plug their own championship match

[klunderbunker]

That's true. Smackdown always has to serve raw. Still say they should reunite the brands.

[Milenko]

Vince is making to much money with 2 1/2 brands.

[klunderbunker]

That's true. There's too many wrestlers for 1 brand anyway. They need to cut the pointless wrestlers. Like Palumbo.

[scotty16956]

palum-ho has a terrible finisher

[Milenko]

This is the first match of his I've seen since he started this gimmick.

[klunderbunker]

Geez i feel sorry for kane. He deserves better than this.

[scotty16956]

at least to fued with mvp and then get the US title

[Milenko]

Kane should get one more W.H.C. run before he retires. his 24 hour reign doesn't count IMO.

[klunderbunker]

Agreed. Even a one month reign would work. Just at least let him come out with it once. Wasn't it under a glass case on the raw after he won it?

[Milenko]

I don't know.

[scotty16956]

i wish they would bring back the cruiserweights

[Milenko]

i wish they would bring back the cruiserweights
X2

[klunderbunker]

But why would they do that? The fans might like it. Can't have that.

[Milenko]

God forbid they do something the fans like.

[klunderbunker]

The more I see her from monday, the less i'm liking how candice looks in the face. Rest of her looks good. I htink it's the hair.

[Milenko]

For those who care I've seen the pics of Maria in Playboy. They leaked out over the internet. HOT!!!!!!!!!

Also I just realized I look Like Santino with My new mohawk.

[klunderbunker]

The maria pics were decent but not as good as i was hoping for. Could've been a lot better.

[Mighty NorCal]

wow this thing has suffered. between my days off being switched, and Justins situation, this has turned into a two man show. sorry guys. thanks for keepin things goin.

[Mighty NorCal]

whats this 1 on 3???

hm, Edge miht actually win for a week...

[Milenko]

wow this thing has suffered. between my days off being switched, and Justins situation, this has turned into a two man show. sorry guys. thanks for keepin things goin.
idon't usually get to watch Smacdown Because I usually work on Fridays. The Only reason I got today off was that I worked the last 7 days.

[klunderbunker]

This is the first show i've watched in full in forever. I love the lds though, especially since i've started getting more into the forums. Damn he pinned him.

[Mighty NorCal]

LOL. yea I work fridays now, and have sunday monday off, so im a RAW guy now unfortunately. Shame, since SD is my favorite show

[Mighty NorCal]

fuckin right. finally a win for Edge. 3 on 1 is still fuckin weak though. Gah they are ruining this feud.

[Milenko]

I work Mondays to. The only one I usually watch is iMPACT.:(

[klunderbunker]

It's proof Taker wins at mania, which i think he shouuld. It's all that's left from the old days.

[Mighty NorCal]

OH. you poor poor soul. I told my work they HAD to encorporate monday or friday into my days off, or I would kill myself. LOL

[klunderbunker]

I made sure to get monday and friday off. I watch the saturday replay of impact and ecw....you see the same matches for a month striaght.

[Big Beck-ah Roethlisberger]

I now go to school Monday nights, starting this Monday.

Was SD any good?

[Milenko]

It was good. The Vickie Edge Storyline makes mad and sick at the same time.

[Milenko]

OH. you poor poor soul. I told my work they HAD to encorporate monday or friday into my days off, or I would kill myself. LOL
I have a credit card bill to pay and I'm moving out on my own soon and need to save up money. Not much I can do about it.

[Mighty NorCal]

yea. ima blow up the RAW LDs. they will never...


eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvveeeeeeerraaaaa...be the same agaiyne.

[klunderbunker]

Smackdown was pretty good. I really liked the batista mvp match, save for the ending.

[Mighty NorCal]

how did that one go?? didnt see...

[Big Beck-ah Roethlisberger]

Smackdown was pretty good. I really liked the batista mvp match, save for the ending.

huh? Is that a good or bad thing?

I hope he got a clean win, or at least a win period,

[klunderbunker]

It was a great back and forth match with batista actually controlling a decent amount. They fought outside and the ref was at like 8 and mvp kicked batista from the mat and he hit the table, then got counted out after the fastest 9-10 count in history.

[klunderbunker]

huh? Is that a good or bad thing?

I hope he got a clean win, or at least a win period,

I just thought it was a bad ending. There was no way either guy could go over clean, but it just didn't do it for me.

[Mighty NorCal]

eh. id say it was a clean win. Batista got counted out. he fuckin lost. LOL

[Milenko]

Rematch next week No Holds Barred. I smell Umaga involvment.

[klunderbunker]

Yeah I was thinking that would come tonight. I'm wondering if matt is coming back for mania to fight mvp.
