Smackdown Spoilers Heading Into Mania
by Xavier Hernandez
-The Major Brothers def. Deuce N' Domino
I believe this was the dark match. Both Deuce and Domino controlled most of
the match, but the Majors won with a roll up.
Smackdown opens up with Edge coming and talking about Money in the Bank. He is supposed to face Matt Hardy, who comes and interrupts him, but Edge says he has a replacement, and Great Khali comes to face Matt.
Khali vs Matt Hardy (No contest.)
He hits the two-hand chokeslam, and fire comes out of the posts. Kane appears on the titan tron, saying that the time is near, as Khali leaves the ring.
Teddy Long is shown talking in is office with Krystal. They talk about some
celebration with champagne and some stuff like that. I really didn't get
the segment well.
Finlay def. Mr. Kennedy
Back and forth action from both men. Not much crowd reaction until Finlay
distracted the ref. Hornswoggle, came with a small ladder, and did his
version of the Kenton bomb on Kennedy, and then finlay hit the celtic cross.
Crowd reacted well to the bastard.
MVP def. Unknown
MVP referred to this guy as the champion of Eutopia or soemthing like that.
He looked kinda carnival. and skinny. MVP hits the Playmaker for the win,
and starts saying he will be the next us champion.
Jeff Hardy def. Randy Orton
Orton controlled most of the match, and jeff pulled up his signature moves
too. Better than their singles match from raw last week. Edge comes again to
distract Orton and Jeff pins him with a roll up. Crowd was really into this
match, especially cheering Jeff. (including me)
10-diva tag team match
Ashley, Maria, Candice, Torrie, Mickie def. Melina, Victoria, Jillian, Kristal,
Michelle McCool.
Typical divas match. The heels worked a lot on Mickie, until all the hot
tags for Candice, Torrie and Maria who performed their signature moves.
Ashley got the final tag and won with a rollup.
CM Punk def. King Booker.
Crowd was behind Punk. I think it was a very good main event. Booker goes
for the scissors kick, but Punk moves and wins with a rollup (lots of rollup
victories on this show)
JBL came to the ring to do the interview of batista/undertaker. Out of
nowhere STONE COLD's music hits, and the people go nuts, (including me). He
comes, and gives JBL a stunner, then drinks two beers per corner and gives
JBL another stunner. Awesome segment.
Teddy long comes with many security guards to do the interview himself. He
brings both Batista and taker, and both got huge pops. Batista says he
already lost respect to Taker, and Taker remains silence. They start
brawling, with the security, and batista gives taker a huge spinebuster. He
leaves, but Taker sits up! Very good segment to warm the match for WM23.
ECW Notes:
On the RVD/Elijah, RVD got a huge pop, specially because he is from west
michigan. Crowd 100% into this match.
Balls got a decent pop during the break, but Snitsky came and you know the
rest.
The 8 man match was a good main event. Finlay was busted open, and the Hardys on the ladder was a good way to end the show.
After ECW is done, Kennedy stays in the ring, and Justin Roberts announces a
tag team match. His partner was MVP. His opponents were John Cena, huge pop. But no HBK. It was a handicap match. Cena managed to gain momentum until both Kennedy and Porter started the double team attack. HBK comes to the rescue and starts tunning up the band, he is about to kick cena, but kicks
MVP instead and leaves. Cena pins MVP and both Cena and HBK are announced as winners. Cena poses for the crowd and leaves. At the end Kennedy and MVP start brawling for a little. Good shows.
