WWE T.V. Taping Spoiler Thread

[A.J.]

Here they are full RAW Spoilers

RAW :

RAW begins with a video segment of Randy Orton attacking John Cena's father Johnny Fabulous. The crowd is perfect, cheer when they should and boo when they should.

RAW opening match is the Intercontinental title match: Jeff Hardy v. Umaga. Umaga is on the top turnbuckle, Jeff hits him and he straddles the rope. Jeff gets the pin off of that and wins the title. See ya Umaga - suspended. - SUSPENDED.

They are showing Triple H and Carlito as upcoming tonight, not sure if its a match or the Cabana. They are also advertising "the McMahon family confrontation."

Vince tells Coach that his family can't hurt him because he has a better OFFENSE. Carlito comes in with his hair cut! Vince tells him that his match against Triple H will be a handicap match in which he will tag with Umaga.

William Regal is looking for John Cena and Melina comes up and tells him about "her night with Vince". Melina turns around and Stephanie is glaring at her. She turns the other way and Linda slaps her across the face. Ron Simmons shows up and gives Melina the DAMN.

Santino and Maria come out to the ring. Santino insults the fans then talks crap to Ron Simmons. The Sandman's music hits...Santino tells Sandman that he's jealous because he makes love to Maria and Santdman makes love to his "stick". Sandman cracks Santino with the kendo stick then beats him all the way up the ramp with it. See ya Santino - suspended.

Maria waits in the ring for her opponent. Beth Phoenix comes down and beats her in a minute with the Fisherman's suplex. Beth gets a mic and tells Candice that she's cashing in her title shot am Unforgiven. She then gives Maria another suplex and Candice runs out for the save. After a stare down Beth walks out of the ring and up the ramp.

They show close ups of John Cena's dad's bruised face.

Yay, it's Grisham with the dumb sign crap...

William Regal comes to the ring and says that Randy Orton was told last week to show Vince McMahon that he deserved the title shot and unfortunately for the Cena family, he did just that. They showed a video package of the attack. Regal says that he gave Orton the night off, but he's here via satellite. He says that what happened was Cena's fault because he denied him a rematch. Regal announces that he gets the rematch at Unforgiven.

Orton says that he hopes that Cena's dad never forgives Cena for it. Cena walks out with no music or video and Regal says that he's just doing his job. Cena attacks Regal and beats him out of the ring and across the announce table. STFU on the floor broken up by the refs running from the back.

Lance Cade and Murdoch come to the ring and sit at the announce table. World's Greatest Tag Team v. London and Kendrick to determine the title contenders for Unforgiven. Note that Cade and Murdoch don't have their hats, so maybe some explanation is being made for Cryme Tyme being gone. Sliced Bread #2 and Kendrick gets the 3 count on Haas. Cade and Murdoch get in the ring with London & Kendrick and applaud them and shake their hands. Wow, this looks familiar... PS...See ya Haas - SUSPENDED.

Regal is getting checked by paramedics. Shane McMahon walks by, looks at him and keeps walking.

They aired a really good CM Punk video package. In the segment he says his line "I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, my high is wrestling."

They show Umaga and Carlito in the locker room. Carlito says that Triple H was laughing at Umaga for losing the title.

Vince and Coach have financial advisors and they are talking about Vince's money and how the family can't touch him. He then asks Coach how Regal is doing. Coach says "pretty beat up" and Vince replies with "well Coach, I guess its time for you to step up again." Once again, See ya Regal, SUSPENDED.

Vince confirms with his lawyers that his family can't get at his accounts. He tells Coach that he will take over for Regal as Commissioner. Vince fires a lawyer for suggesting that he settle with the mother of his son, as that is a "defensive strategy". He tells the other two that he's out for blood.

Jillian Hall and Daivari come out. Jillian talks crap to Lillian Garcia. She says that she had her wisdom teeth removed, but she and Daivari sing and dance anyway. Cody Rhodes (in black trunks!) and Mickie James interrupt and the match starts. Daivari singing in Farsi was kind of funny in a weird way...Cody pins Daivari after a nice DDT.

Melina comes to the ring in a little black lace dress. Kiss cam segment.

They aired a replay of Carlito's Cabana segment with Triple H and Vince.

Triple H comes out for the handicap match to biggest pop of the night. Carlito comes out then Umaga. Umaga is disqualified for entering the ring without tagging and double teaming HHH. The beat down continues. Umaga hits a big splash from the top rope. Carlito holds a chair in front of HHH in the corner, but he moves and Umaga rams into it. Triple H beats Carlito with the chair to the outside then gives Umaga multiple chair shots to the head, as he won't go down. Umaga finally goes to one knee and Triple H gets the sledgehammer and gives Umaga a few shots. Carlito retreats up the ramp and Umaga is rolled away on a stretcher. I can't help but speculate! AKA, One again see ya Umaga, SUSPENDED.

Off air, they carry Umaga out on a stretcher and change the pad on the mat from all of the blood.

They aired a video package about going back to Iraq this year.

Vince, Coach and the two attorneys come to the ring. Vince says that the family is here for one thing... "the MONEY!" Linda comes to the ring and says that she has plenty of her own money and doesn't need his. But, she can take him for everything due to the illegitimate son thing. Vince says that he had many lonely nights on the road and his kids would understand.

Enter Stephanie.

Vince shows a video that he made of the life of daddy's girl. They play a video of Vince beating down Steph instead. Vince is angry. HHH on video says he didn't play it. Steph says Vince needs help and should step down as Chairman.

Enter MY SON, SHANE!

Shane says there are two Vinces, the good and the bad. He says that Vince needs help, but he has to change himself. Vince says that none of the affairs happened and he lied to build his own ego and only cheated once. With the mother of his son. He kneels to his family and vows to be better.

Kennedy comes to the ring. Ken points out the last name thing and the Green Bay location as where Vince plans to reveal the mystery. He says that he is Vince's son. Steph says that he's not Vince's son. Ken says that Vince's lunacy inspired him and that unlike his family, he won't judge Vince. Ken does his Kennedy thing on the mic and adds MCMAHON to it!

Then, a representative for the suing mother comes out and says that Ken is not Vince's son but he can't reveal who is until next week. The horrible actor then says that he can give a clue, "Things are looking up".

RAW ends and Vince makes Ken a match for lying to him. It will be against John Cena. So Kennedy is not suspended? Something is VERY VERY fishy.


I have to say from the looks we will have a nice HHH and Umaga feud when he comes back from suspension and I think they be a good feud even with the fact that Umaga will get destroyed by the game

Coach back in charge for a while should be interesting.

Looks like we might get L&K vs Cade and Murdoch at Unfogiven

 

[Mad Metal]

"Something is VERY VERY fishy."

Way to go Ryan Clark for that note [/Sarcasm]

Seems as if Mr. Clark forgot to add the results from the Cena/Kennedy match:

http://www.wrestling-edge.com/wwene...ll&id=1188787727&archive=&start_from=&ucat=1&

ince sends everyone away except Kennedy and tells him to stop pretending and Vince says we are gonna have a match .. bring out a referee. Kennedy vs. Cena, a man full of rage for all the right reasons, and calls Cena a lunatic. Cena gets in the ring, runs his mouth and beats Kennedy down. The ref rings the bell and the match is on. Cena continues attacking and ripped Kennedy's shirt off and shreds it. Cena wins the FU.

Next week something could be mentioned that after his match, Kennedy got injured yet again and is in need of time out, which according to the spoilers, it seems as if the plan was to have Kennedy as Mr. McMahon's son but made a turn due to a suspension and bringing Cena out to bury Mr. Kennedy.

Other than the corrections to Ryan Clark's spoilers, it sounds as if London & Kendrick vs Murdoch & Cade has potential and hopefully we can see the match, like said, at Unforgiven.

Other than the Womens part of the show where Phoenix wins her match in a minute, it sounds like it should be a decent show. Too bad I have work tomorrow night.

 

[A.J.]

ECW Spoilers for Tuesday 11


- ECW opens with Armando Alejandro Estrada in the ring with CM Punk. Punk gives him his new tshirt and tells Estrada to put it on since he's Punk's biggest fan. Estrada announces CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke for the ECW Title at Unforgiven.

- The Miz d. Tommy Dreamer

- Matt Striker with Big V d. Nunzio

- Mike Knox d. Balls Mahoney

- CM Punk and Stevie Richards d. Kevin Thorne and Elijah Burke

Pops of the night: CM Punk, Stevie Richards, Balls

Heat of the night: Elijah Burke, The Miz

 

[A.J.]

Full Smackdown Spoiler for 14

Dark Matches: Jesse and Festus defeated some local guys and Jimmy Wang Yang defeated some guy I forget who.

- Michelle McCool and Victoria went to a No Contest when Chuck Palumbo and Kenny Dykstra started fighting in the ring.

- Michelle McCool and Chuck Palumbo defeated Victoria and Kenny Dykstra

- Mark Henry came out for a segment dressed up like one of the druids. Undertaker's video and burning emblem came up and cut Henry's segment short.

- Shannon Moore defeated Jamie Knoble

- Domino with Deuce defeated MVP with Matt Hardy. This was a non-title U.S. match I'm pretty sure.

- Finlay d. Kane in the first ever Belfast Street Fight

- Batista defeated The Great Khali by DQ in a World Title match

SmackDown really disappointed. We had Batista and Mysterio vs. Finlay and Khali advertised as a dark match main event but it never happened. No Rey Mysterio at all. A lot of fans seemed to leave in a lot of disappointment.

Biggest Pops: Batista, Matt Hardy, Hornswoggle

Biggest Heat: Great Khali, Mark Henry, MVP

 

[A.J.]

Bruce Allan called in the following results from the Smackdown/ECW taping in Atlanta, Georgia:

ECW:

*Elijah Burke defeated Stevie Richards, Kevin Thorn, Tommy Dreamer in a "Fatal Four Way Chase to No Mercy." It wasn't fully clear but it appeared that ECW General Manager Armando Estrada referred to it as a weekly deal where at the end, the winner gets a No Mercy ECW title shot at CM Punk. Richards was pinned, so he's eliminated from the 'chase'.

*Backstage, Elijah Burke asks ECW champion CM Punk to sign WWE Magazine.

*The Miz came out with Extreme Expose. They danced to Salt N' Pepa's "Push It."

*Big Daddy V pinned The Boogeyman. V got most of the offense in.

*Armando Extrada announced Tommy Dreamer vs. Kevin Thorn vs. Elijah Burke next week in the next chapter of "Chase to No Mercy."

 

[A.J.]

hanks to Bruce at PWInsider.com for these results:

WWE is currently setting up for Smackdown. They are taping the wedding first, setting up white ring ropes, ring steps and guest chairs. Teddy dedicates "Let's Get Married" by Jagged Edge to Kristal. Jillian Hall comes out and says that they were terrible and starts to sing. She is dragged off by several other Divas. The Godfather, accompanied by several Hos, comes out and stops the ceremony.

The wedding has started. Comedian Bruce Bruce is the Reverend. Vince McMahon, Arn Anderson and performers from all three brands are present as guests. Teddy dedicates "Let's Get Married" by Jagged Edge to Kristal. Jillian Hall comes out and says that they were terrible and starts to sing. She is dragged off by several other Divas. They continue...but...

The Godfather, accompanied by several Hos, comes out and stops the ceremony. Godfather got all the male performers to leave with him to "ride the Ho Train". Hornswoggle crawls under Kristal's dress and is chased to the back by Jonathan Coachman and Vince McMahon.

Teddy and Kristal start to exchange vows. Long passes out while giving them and medics rush down. They carry Long out on a gurney.

JBL returns to do commentary.
Smackdown opening features WWE World champion Batista in the ring wearing a suit, so it appears they shot the wedding first and that will close the episode when it airs. Batista promo.

Jimmy Yang defeated Jamie Noble.

MVP and Matt Hardy have a contest backstage throwing a football through a tire. Hardy wins.

Deuce and Domino defeated WWE Tag Team champions Matt Hardy and MVP in a non-title match. MVP left with all the tag straps.

Mark Henry challenges WWE World champion Batista to a non-title match later tonight.

Michael Cole interviews Rey Mysterio. JBL tells Cole he's being too nice and starts to confront Rey. Rey challenges JBL and he says he can't fight because of his announcing contract. He then says he knows someone who Rey can fight. Finlay comes out and lays out Rey from behind.

Mark Henry defeated WWE World champion Batista by countout after The Great Khali interfered. The Undertaker comes out and a tag bout starts, which is likely a dark match. Taker and Batista get the win.

 

[Lil Wes]

Yikes, Another terrible looking show. Exactly why I don't tune into SD! anymore. The wedding segment looks brilliant(sarcasm). Why in the hell does Hornswoggle have to interrupt, just because he is going under Krystal's dress doesn't make it funny, McMahon made himself look like a jackass when he did it with Lillian. I was hoping for some sort of twist, Instead they go with "comedy" Maybe it would look better on live TV but that segment looks shit. I suppose the Teddy Long "Passing Out" means we will be having a new GM soon(Vickie...). Godfather probably stole the show.

Batista promo is going to be a nightmare for viewers, Why even give this guy a mic? Hopefully, It's short.

Noble/Yang- I'm sure it wasn't given much time, It could be a good match to open up the show but I doubt it was longer than 5 minutes.

Hardy/MVP- I'm liking this feud but some weird contests between the two. They should just hurry up and announce the Ladder Match for the US Title at No Mercy. It's starting to bore me a bit now.

Rey/Finlay- Might as well put it on the No Mercy card. Finlay will be forced to job to the returning Rey.

Henry/Tista- This pretty much shows how bad SD! is at the moment. What I don't get is Taker returning and yet again he sits on the sidelines. Henry goes from jobbing to Taker to being put in the main event and going over by count out against the new WHC, and really who at the show is not going to know Khali is going to interfere? Jesus Christ, he has caused a DQ,Countout it seems for a month now. So Predictable.

Tag match next week I suppose.

 

[A.J.]

Thanks to PWInsider.com for these results:

Before the show, there was a large thunderstorm and people standing outside waiting to get in got soaked.

Before the taping, a woman came to the ring and put a monitor, snacks, water and Gatorade under the ring apron. Expect a Hornswoggle appearance.

Then, they tested lightning graphics on the announcer's monitors, presumably for an Undertaker segment.

The opening dark bout is Deuce and Domino versus Jesse and Festus. Crowd chants for Festus half way through.. Really.

SmackDown! begins with a recap of last week's wedding. There is emphasis on 'till death do you part.' Vince is backstage with Vicky Guerrero.

It's announced The Undertaker will take on Mark Henry later tonight.

Torrie Wilson versus Victoria opens SmackDown. Torrie lost to Victoria with help from the ropes. A new blonde debuted and dismantled Torrie.

MVP hits the ring. A group of partiers are already there. They're drinking champaign. Its the VIP lounge. He talks about Teddy Long. Matt Hardy comes with a bottle for MVP. Hardy says MVP is his homey and put together a video highlighting MVP's accomplishments. Hardy toasted to his friendship with MVP. It ended with Hardy setting up Kane vs. MVP later on tonight.

Michael Cole and JBL interview Batista about his strategy for the PPV. He says he is ready to lash out.

There's a new promo for Taker. It says "Don't be afraid....Be terrified. The time is now."

MVP vs. Kane sees a lot of false finishes. It was an enjoyable match. MVP is disqualified after a low blow.

They aired a diva Search video. This just in....it still sucks.

Next was an in-ring interview with JBL and Rey-Rey. Rey tells Layfield to put up or shut up. Bradshaw pushes Rey and gets a 619. Finlay lays out Rey and leaves JBL and Rey lying in the ring.

Backstage, Vicky tells Mini-Mac that he has to forfeit his championship for his own safety. He leaves, depressed.

Jamie Noble vs. Shannon Moore. People are using this for the bathroom break. Noble wins, nobody cares.

Undertaker signs hang it front of the screens. He's due out next.

Next week is the Great Khali vs. Rey. Hearing his promo live was worth the price of admission.

Mark Henry vs. Undertaker was the main event. Takes goes old school into a bear hug into the corner. Henry reverses a choke slam. Taker was in the ropes but reverses. Choke slam! Taker gets the clean pin in a quick match. Druids enter and take Henry out on their shoulders as UT looks on. Undertaker signals for the belt and takes his leave.

 

[Bernkastel]

Torrie Wilson versus Victoria opens SmackDown. Torrie lost to Victoria with help from the ropes. A new blonde debuted and dismantled Torrie.

Their are only 2 other blonds right now that are under contract with WWE (and that are yet to debut) that are capable of flat out dismantling another diva, those women are Nattie Neidhart and Krissy Vaine. I doubt it'll be Neidhart, as I'd expect she'd debut with her cousin and boyfriend. I'm actually kind of looking forward to this as I want to see Krissy Vaine in WWE, maybe not on Smackdown, but at least in WWE.

 

[Eternal Dragon]

I literally cannot wait to see Krissy Vaine on Smackdown.I watched the match between Torrie and Victoria and it was pretty decent match, especially considering that it's SD. The Krissy/Torrie fued could be so great. Finally a reason to watch SD!

WWE taped Smackdown before ECW tonight.

Through the hard shot, the place is basically full. Camera side is almost entirely tarped off. This arena only has the one level, no upper bowl. Attendance similar to their last TV here though.

Dark Match:

Major Brothers over Paul Burchill & William Regal

Smackdown:

Out come JBL & Michael Cole.

Batista comes out. He blabs and says nothing significant. Khali interrupts from the back. Again, nothing significant. Batista you don't know what it's like to be with a caged animal.

Chuck Palumbo, with Michelle McCool, over Ace Steel.

The match was very short. Immediately after the pin, Chris Masters comes in and puts Chuck in the Master Lock. He passes out and Masters breaks it. PPV Filler anyone?

(Ace just made it to TV in OVW and already he's a Smackdown jobber. Hopefully this doesn't mean doom for his WWE career.)

Jamie Noble over Jimmy Wang Yang.

Floor producer came around and handed out revised run sheets at this point.

Matt Hardy & MVP come out. They have some sort of push up contest and MVP wins. I went to the bathroom.

Tag Team Championship: Matt Hardy & MVP over Deuce & Domino, with Cherry.

Kane over Kenny Dykstra, with Victoria.

In the back, MVP tried to turn the tables on Matt by asking Vickie Guerrero to make a match between Matt and Kane's brother, Undertaker. Instead she said Kane & Undertaker would take on Matt Hardy & MVP.

Jesse & Festus over Chad Collyer & Mike Tolar. Apparently their theme song is called Biscuits & Gravy.

Rey Mysterio over Great Khali via DQ. Finlay interfered. Batista ran in for the save. Two PPV match hypes for the price of one!
After that, they changed the set for ECW, even though they just announced tonight's main event as Undertaker v. Mark Henry. I guess it will be a dark match.

There was a dark match between Smackdown & ECW. Funaki beat Mike Kruel.

 

[A.J.]

well look like we have a big Unforgiven Tag team match of the MVP & Matt vs Taker and Kane and well i see no point this match but hey its more a filler as they can lot leave taker off the card. But seems like another bad Smackdown but still watchable

 

[TheOneBigWill]

While I've waited & waited, hoped & hoped that the new Tag Team debuting, Jesse & Festus, would bring new life to the division.. I honestly like that Kane & Undertaker are being placed in a Tag Team match.

In my opinion, I highly see Kane turning on Undertaker to set up YET ANOTHER brother/brother feud, but Undertaker has brought out the best in Kane during some of their matches.. so I'm highly into that if it happens.

That being said, I think the prolonging of M.V.P. v. Matt Hardy is just insane. This has gone on now for what, 3-4 monthes & NOTHING of it.

 

[A.J.]

Thanks to PWInsider.com for these:

Here are the SD! results for this Friday's show:

Dark Match:

Jacob Duncan defeated Funaki.

Smackdown:

Chuck Palumbo rolled up Chris Masters for a pinfall. Palumbo controlled most of the match. Afterwards, Masters attacked him and out Palumbo with the Masterlock.

Big Daddy V promotional video airs.

Jesse & Festus defeated Jay Adams & Conrad Carr (Eddie Venom and Conrad Kennedy III from Michigan indy scene).

There is a backstage vignette with Jamie Noble, Deuce and Domino.

Drew McIntyre (Drew McDoland from Scotland), with Dave Taylor) defeated Brett Major.

Diva search segment.

Backstage promo with WWE Tag team champions Matt Hardy and MVP.

The Undertaker and Kane defeated WWE Tag Team champions Matt Hardy and MVP after Taker drilled MVP with a tombstone. This was a non-title match.

In a backstage promo with Vickie Guerrero and Jamie Noble, leading to Vickie signing Noble vs. Khali next.

Great Khali beats Jamie Noble with the head squishie.

Jimmy Wang Yang defeated Deuce and was attacked and laid out by Deuce and Domino. Cherry even slapped Yang.

Rey Mysterio vs. Fit Finlay for the #1 contendership of the WWE World title went to a no contest after a chair was used. The lights in the arena went out and by the time they returned, both men were laid out in the ring. Undertaker was inside, making a motion with his hands for the belt, motioning to Batista, who was at ringside doing commentary.

FULL WWE RAW TAPING RESULTS FOR TONIGHT (SPOILERS)
10/15/2007 by Ryan Gray

Special thanks to Adam Clark, Ian Hamilton, WrestlingObserver, and ringsidelive.info for help with the updates!

Hello fans and welcome to today's live coverage of WWE Monday Night RAW from the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England! The show will air in the United States tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET.

* The arena is pretty much full. Crowd noise is unreal.

* There is a cage above the ring.

* Heat will be taped first.

* All signs and banners are being confiscated at the doors.

* RAW announcer Lilian Garcia is present at the tapings.

* A WrestleMania 23 recap is shown.

Dark Match:

Harry Smith defeated Carlito
* Harry cut a big promo before the match, dedicating it to his father. He won after a running powerslam. The crowd went nuts!

Heat:

* Mickie James defeated Melina
Mickie won via a swinging DDT.

* Snitsky defeated Robbie Brookeside

* Jim Duggan & Super Crazy defeated Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin

RAW:

* It looks like they will be having a Carlito's Cabana on the show. They did some stuff about "best signs", but since most of them got confiscated at the door, the crowd is booing.

* RAW opens with a backstage promo with Randy Orton complaining to William Regal about Cyber Sunday.

* The opening pyro hits and William Regal appears on the stage. It now appears that Randy Orton will face all three Cyber Sunday opponents TONIGHT.

* Randy Orton defeats Jeff Hardy
The match continues through a commercial break. Hardy dominates the match early until Orton gives him a dropkick from the apron to the floor. LOTS OF HEADLOCKS. Hardy makes a comeback with a neckbreaker and a Whisper in the Wind, only for Ken Kennedy to interfere and push Hardy off the top rope. RKO and Orton wins.

Santino comes out with Maria; insults Birmingham, England and the Condemned. That leads to Santino vs Val Venis; squash match with Santino winning by using the ropes.

Carlito backstage. More Hornswoggle stuff here, with Coachman chasing Hornswoggle... Vince is backstage with Regal, and Vince insults the Queen and so on. Next match is Ken Kennedy vs Orton.

Ken Kennedy is a massive babyface in Birmingham and gets a reaction to suit that. Orton v Kennedy is "quite boring" (surprise!), and the crowd aren't into it at all. Kennedy hits his wacky Green Bay Plunge (don't know whether it was on the mat or off the top rope), but Jeff Hardy attacks Kennedy for the DQ, hitting a swanton. Shawn Michaels appears on screen and gets the loudest pop of the night.

They played the Timbaland music video with all the Divas in... Andy Simmonz (British guy) is in the ring, and Vince comes out to a huge pop. They announce HHH vs Umaga for Cyber Sunday, with the first choice being a street fight, . Out comes Umaga, who destroys Simmonz in a street fight.

They announce choice #2: a first blood match. Umaga gives Simmonz a few Samoan spikes, and Umaga wins the first blood match between the pair. The final choice is a cage match: we now have Umaga v Simmonz in a cage.

Vince spent the series of matches calling Simmonz "HHH" (only the noses are similar). Simmonz took a lot of sick bumps to the head in the cage match - it'd be surprising if he didn't have some sort of concussion after this. Umaga won, obviously.

Maria out for the kiss-cam as they change the canvas (I think there must have been lot of blood from Simmonz)...

There's a skit with Coachman chasing Hornswoggle on bikes. Enter Ron Simmons, you know the rest.

Jillian Hall insults Lilian Garcia and sings the Spice Girls' "Wannabe". They plug Lilian's CD, and Jillian v Candice is next. Candice wins with the Unprettier in three moves.

Backstage now with Cody Rhodes. Hardcore Holly walks up to him, and Cody says he just wants respect. Holly slaps Cody, and that match is on next.

Out come Highlanders to insult England... Cande and Murdoch come out for commentary as we have Brian Kendrick vs Rory McAllister. Rory wins with a slingshot suplex - dead crowd for a poor match.

No Mercy recap now, followed by Rhodes v Holly (they must have aired the "UP NEXT" pre-tape a little early).

But first, another series of distractions. Shawn Michaels promo saying he'll kick Randy Orton's teeth down his throat as he encourages people to vote for him at the PPV.

Another Hornswoggle promo, this time in the diva's locker room, followed by "a long save_us.222 promo". Hornswoggle reaches the ring, chased by Coachman who has a box of TNT, which doesn't work. Hornswoggle goes under the ring, followed by Coachman. Hornswoggle "blows" the TNT... it was as bad as it sounded.

Regal annnounces (off camera) that the post show dark match is going to be HHH vs Umaga in a street fight...

Hardcore Holly beats Cody Rhodes with the Alabama Slam. Crowd was largely dead for that.

Main event is up next: HBK vs Orton. Shawn doesn't look comfortable at all with his knees. Shawn wins in DQ after 5 mins - he hits an elbow off the top, but Kennedy runs in for the interference. Jeff Hardy comes out, and Raw ends with Shawn hitting sweet chin music.

 

[Dgenerationx528]

WWE Survivor Series 2007 is looking to be a great PPV with the addition of the Hell in a Cell Match between Batista and the Undertaker! I predict that the Undertaker will win, knowing that the updated Armageddon promotional poster features Batista without the championship.

Smackdown Spoilers - 11/9/07

attended the joint ECW-Smackdown taping here in Bakersfield, CA and wanted to give you the results and my general impressions. Overall I thought it was an entertaining show. I would have loved to have seen Edge, but alas we cannot always get what we want. Bakersfield was treated, however, to two CM Punk matches, so I guess we really can't complain.

1 - The Major Bros. won a tag team over the top battle royal where the winner would face MVP/Hardy later on in the night. Other teams involved with Jesse/Festus, Jimmy Wang Yang/Shannon Moore, Drew McIntyre/Dave Taylor, and Deuce/Domino. Jesse/Festus were eliminated first (they were my pick to win it) when everyone ganged up on Festus to eliminate him while Jesse was down in a corner. Yang was eliminated next by Taylor as he was going for a top rope kick. Crowd was really into Yang and his highflying moves. McIntyre/Taylor were eliminated next and then got huge crowd heat on them with their antics on the outside after being eliminated. Major Bros won after holding the top rope as Deuce and Domino were going for a double clothesline.

Next was a brief promo between Michelle McCool and Torrie, where Torrie was quizzing Michelle on whether her and Chuck Palumbo were boring. Victoria interrupted with Kenny Dykstra and it led to their match.

2 - Victoria beats Michelle McCool after a spike DDT. Palumbo attacked Dykstra on the outside in the middle of the match.

Pretty long backstage promo from Rey Mysterio. He was over HUGE, everyone loved him.

3 - Finlay beat Rey Mysterio with the Celtic Cross. Longer match, probably 15 minutes. Finlay looked like he was being very stiff with Rey, pulling off at least three moves that involved one of Rey's body parts hitting the ropes on the way down. I know that doesn't make sense, but watch the match and it will. Finlay had huge heat. One guy in my section kept cursing Finlay out while lifting his shirt up to reveal his tattoos. He was hammered and throwing gang signs at Finlay because he won.

Backstage promo with CM Punk/Vickie/Jamie Noble. Noble is pretty good on the mic, and CM Punk is everything that is right in wrestling.

4 - CM Punk beat Jamie Noble with the GTS. I miss the Anaconda Vice. After the match, Miz ran in and attacked Punk. Punk fought him off only to then be attacked by John Morrison. Punk fought him off as well. However, Jamie Noble got the last laugh with a sick looking move on Punk -- he hoisted him up like the beginning of the GTS, threw him up and laid down and drilled two knees into his stomach. Once again, bad description, but you get the idea. Punk was super over.

5 - MVP/Matt Hardy defeated the Major Brothers. Pretty good match, albeit a little short. MVP got the victory and he and Matt teased a little dissension afterwards.

6 - Undertaker defeated Great Khali in a No Holds Barred match with a triangle choke. About what you would expect from these two in that Taker's entrance was the best part of the match.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

-The fact that Jesse & Festus were eliminated, much less FIRST.. is a major blow to them. Then, of all things, to have the Major Brothers win?! Look.. why even HAVE the battle royal, just draw names out of a fricken hat.

-Its a shame to see how they're using Kenny. I truly enjoyed him after the Spirit Squad, when he was owning Ric Flair. Now all he's doing is being owned by Victoria, which isn't a BAD thing.. but he deserves better. -- And McCool & Palumbo is nothing but a slap in the face of Sara to Taker.

-The LAST thing I wanted was another Finlay/Rey Mysterio match, let alone in the middle portion of the show. (meaning the longest match OF the show) I really don't think they work well together.

-C.M. Punk v. Noble, you get what you get. I suppose Punk's match against Morrison (also done in the same night) was Punk's bigger match.. but I'd of hated being there, seeing him likely have the Championship, which told the world ahead of time that Morrison wouldn't win it.

-M.V.P./Matt Hardy-Major Brothers, urgh.. whats the fricken point. I'd rather see another SEGMENT/CONTEST!

-Main Event - Taker/Khali, the upside.. at least it wasn't saved for a p.p.v. The downside, it was still unavoidable.

My overall excitement for Smackdown's anymore are the segments between Vickie Guerrero & Noble.

Hey Dave, here’s kind of a quickie Smackdown tapings report.

Kevin Thorn beat Nunzio in the only dark match.

They taped ECW before Smackdown instead of airing it live. I thought that was strange at first, but it made sense later.

On Smackdown:

- Jeff Hardy beat Finlay by DQ when Finlay brought in the shillelagh. He didn’t connect with it, though, and Jeff took it and scared Finlay away.

- Undertaker did a promo in the ring about his match with Batista. Got a huge reaction, loudest one I’ve heard in a while. He said the usual Undertaker stuff, the segment didn’t last long.

- Victoria and Beth Phoenix beat Mickie James and Torrie Wilson. Beth pinned Torrie, I’m pretty sure, but she used another move as opposed to her fisherman’s buster finisher.

- In a brief locker room segment, Jeff Hardy told Matt that he had things to do and had to leave.

- Matt was the guest in the VIP Lounge and challenged MVP to a United States title match right then and there. MVP backtracked, saying he and Matt were friends now. Matt refuted that point and MVP said his feelings were hurt. Matt again challenged him but MVP said he’d signed them up for a tag team title defense.

- John Morrison & The Miz beat Matt & MVP for the tag titles. What happened was MVP faked a leg injury and tagged Matt in. But Matt actually hurt his leg, selling it like a major injury, and Miz and Morrison worked him over pretty good. After a while he couldn’t stand and they ended up pinning him to win the belts.

MVP said they had a rematch clause in their contract and he was exercising it, so an immediate rematch happened. MVP started and once again faked a leg injury. Even though Matt was barely standing up in the corner, MVP tagged him in. Matt couldn’t fight back and eventually gave up to a submission move on his knee.

After the match was done, MVP helped Matt up and then attacked him. He worked over his knee real good, taking Matt’s brace off and then banging his knee into the ringpost and dropping it on the ring stairs (which MVP had brought into the ring).

Don’t know how they’ll play it up on TV, but live at the show it sure came off like a major injury angle, as if Matt may be gone a while. And my guess is that this is why they didn’t do ECW live, since Matt would have had to come back and wrestle after that like it never happened. Same with Morrison and Miz winning the belts, as the titles would have had to go back to Hardy and MVP for ECW.

- Rey Mysterio beat Mr. Kennedy in a pretty good match. The finish was great, Kennedy had Rey up on the second rope for the Green Bay Plunge or the Lambeau Leap or whatever he calls it, and Rey turned it into a hurricanrana and got the pin. There was a fairly large Hispanic contingent in the crowd and Rey was super over. Moreso than anyone but Taker, I'd say.

- Khali and Hornswoggle did a boxing weigh-in. Nothing of note happened, it was just a way to get them standing next to each other.

- Batista beat Mark Henry in a no DQ match. Short match, all Batista, he used a belt shot to the head to get the pin. Afterwards he laid Henry out with chairshots outside the ring and then speared him. He got back in the ring and the video screen showed nothing but Undertaker’s eyes rolled back in his head. Cool visual.

- Afterwards, JBL got outta dodge before Batista could beat him up, and that was that. Fun show.

WWE Friday Night SmackDown! Spoilers for 11/23
24Wrestling

The opening SmackDown! video airs. They show a recap from Survivor Series of Edge screwing 'Taker out of the title.

They go backstage to Edge's locker-room and Vickie Guerrero is there. She says as a 'punishment' for screwing 'Taker, he'll get to face Batista next week for the World title. Vickie then flirts with Edge calling him 'baby' and the two begin making out.

The opening segment is JBL in the ring with a gift for MVP. JBL gives him the gift (a ring with diamonds) and MVP accepts and proceeds to start calling out Matt Hardy. Rey Mysterio comes out to stick up for Hardy and calls him a punk. The two trade punches and it is broken up. Mysterio vs. MVP later tonight?

MLB star Wade Boggs is in attendance.

WWE U.S. Champion MVP pinned Rey Mysterio. No Matt or Jeff Hardy appearances. A segment was done where JBL presented MVP with a diamond ring.

World Heavyweight Champion Batista came out for an interview. During the course of the taping, it is revealed that Edge's return was done in cahoots with Vickie Guerrero and the two are together, and they were even shown making out at one point. Edge vs. Batista is announced for next week's show. The Undertaker gets involved and gives Guerrero a Tombstone at the end of the episode, with Vicky going out on a stretcher.

WWE Tag Champions John Morrison and The Miz defeated The Major Brothers.

Jamie Noble defeated Chuck Palumbo

Finlay and Hornswoggle defeated Mark Henry in a Handicap match. Great Khali came out and got involved after the match.

If that Smackdown spoiler is true, then this is both awesome & shitty all in one. (the reason I question it being true is because WZ's main site, for me, is down at the moment)

Anyways, I've long-fully awaited Edge's return, & likewise for him to regain the World Heavyweight Championship, but aligning him with Vickie Guerrero is crap. #1. Thats an awful storyline & disrespectful to Eddie Guerrero -- #2. It'll only lead to Undertaker making sure Edge does NOT win the World Championship.. which means, Batista will crawl away from this STILL champion. And who the hell wants THAT to happen?!

Also, M.V.P./Rey Mysterio was a possible p.p.v. match-up, but if M.V.P. won cleanly, then how can Mysterio advance this storyline.. furthermore, where is M.V.P. gonna go from here? Kane?? Been there, got burnt by that. Finlay, as a face?! He's tied up with big, slow & talentless.

And what the hell happened to J.B.L./Rey Mysterio?! That would've been icing on the cake for Armageddon to be the blow-out p.p.v. of the year.

 

[Rated K for Kennedy... Kennedy!]

That makes sense because Krystal (she the one with T-Lo right?) said on her website she was fired for not doing the Lita thing with Edge so they've changed it ti Vicki. Wow, sly booking.

Not sure how I feel with the late Eddie's wife being used like this. Bad taste?

 

[Shocky]

I don't see why people think this is disrespectful to Eddie Guerrero. I don't understand why people keep bringing him up. The WWE has been nothing but disrespectful to the Guerrero name since his passing. They used it to ****e Rey Mysterio to the WHC at WM, and they use the name on Smackdown all the time.

The Fact is, Vickie is a consenting adult that choses the name to be drug through the mud for money. It's that simple. If the Guerrero's didn't want this going on, then they wouldn't allow the WWE to continue using Eddie. They are enabling it, that's their choice, we either watch or we don't watch.

I like it myself. It's freaking taboo as hell to mess with Vickie. Edge is going to generate massive, massive heat when this airs, and simply throwing in an Eddie comment is going to piss people off. This is what the WWE needs, plain and simple. Edge is reaching new heights of just an absolutely despised heel, something the WWE hasn't had since Triple H was good back in 2000.

 

[Mad Metal]

I actually like the idea with Edge/Vickie. It's all apart of Edge's Rated R Superstar character and like said, this will definitely give a lot of heat to Edge from the audience but this is why I love Edge; he is a natural at being the heel he is. This is one of those things that doesn't make you wonder if it's reality or a work, the massive heat would distract the general fans from any wonders or assumptions which is why I believe it's a great move.

As far as my opinion/s on Eddie Guerrero. This is not being disrespectful at all. A good portion of women re-marries or get together with other guys (but of course this is all scripted). Like I said many times, this is pro wrestling. It doesn't matter if it's the right or wrong thing, if it works then you bet your ass the plan/s will continue. You don't believe me? That's how WCW became a huge success and same with WWE and slowly with TNA. Knowing that Eddie's name would get brought up here and there is expected and like always, causes controversy. There's always the possibility that Eddie wished to still have a part in the industry in one way or the other even after he's gone.

Well forget about that. The point is Edge is back. To be honest the last time I watched SmackDown! was when Edge got injured by Kane. Seeing the Rated R Superstar is now back, at least the show will be more "watchable" now.
