Kam Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Preview: Farewell to Thursdays September 1, 2005 SmackDown!’s last show on Thursday night before moving to Fridays on Sept. 9 will be a huge event. With JBL scheduled to get his SummerSlam rematch with World Heavyweight Champion Batista on Sept. 9, anything is possible. Also, will network executive Palmer Canon continue to meddle with General Manager’s Theodore Long’s work? Plus, could we see more of Mr. Kennedy, who seems to enjoy ring announcing as much as he does wrestling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest big pau hoolinator Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I thought Smackdown was filmed on Tuesdays...I can't find the results anywhere...is it going to be filmed tonight ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boyo Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I haven't seen Smackdown yet but reports say that Kennedy is a LEGEND this week. He defeats Booker T and disses Jeff Jarrett of all people! Also they are making a Smackdown Women's title, no doubt destroying the good early work laid down by Melina and Jillian, who will surely be the finalists. Hopefully they'll get a few more ladies on Smackdown, Melissa Coates and Alexis Laree would be a good start. And Gail Kim. Yowzer! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest big pau hoolinator Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 where are the reports ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boyo Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I got them off ex-rev but you wouldn't be able to as it's a private forum. :) Actually most of my wrestling news comes from the extremely biased, frustatingly smarkish but highly witty ex-rev legend called LeeInBlack - but you wouldn't know who he is either :P Cheers!

Guest Carlito C. Cool Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Full WWE Smackdown And Velocity Taping Results [spoilers] Posted By Larry Csonka on 08.31.05 All of the action from the Smackdown brand! Dark Match Shane Twins Beat Buck Quartermain and Antonio Banks. Velocity Vito beat Steven Richards with a version of Edge's finisher. Returning Brian Kendrick beat Paul London in a great match with sliced bread #2. Doug Basham Beat Mike Madden??? Didn't catch the last name. Super Crazy beat Nunzio in a non title match. Another Superb Match, good week to see Velocity. Smackdown Recap of last week with the network shutting down the women's match. First match: Heidenreich beat Joey Mercury with all kinds of outside interference. Beatdown on LOD after win. Backstage "The Mole" talking to the network rep and thanking him for signing the Tag Team Title Rematch for Friday Smackdown (guess UPN is booking the show now?). From here, it gets a little sketchy in some of these so they are maybe not in order. Bob Orton intros Randy Orton and cut a promo about how they ended the Undertaker's legacy. They hype next week whether UT will show up or not. Announced for tonight that Randy Orton will face Rey Mysterio Jr. Network rep apologizes to Stacy and Christy about having to cancel their match last week but wants a straight up match between them tonight. Divas accept. Chris Benoit backstage says he wants to show yet again what he can do faster than the match with Orlando Jordan so he has Josh Matthews time him while he uses the bathroom and washes his hands. Pretty funny stuff Rematch: Chris Benoit beats Orlando Jordan by tap out in 23.4 seconds. Clock was counting down in the corner of screen. Can they bury Jordan any more? ANOTHER rematch announced for next week with Jordan and Benoit. Teddy Long congratulates the network rep on making the first episode of Friday Night Smackdown the best ever so far. The Network says that the Batista-JBL match will be a bullrope match and Teddy Long counters with the Mysterio-Guerrero match being a cage match now. Simon Dean out to claim that Batista uses his Simon System and that is why he is champion now. Out comes Bautista and states he can't remember for the life of him ever using the product but wants to give it a try. He takes a chug and says it's making him feel stronger and bigger by the second. He then tells Dean that it makes him feel more aggressive. Total squash from there, Batista wins via Batista Bomb. Mr. Ken Kennedy beat Booker T with Sharmell. Kennedy won with his top rope finisher. Christian did commentary and got into an argument with Sharmell. Booker T was on his way up to the top rope and was distracted by what was going on and got caught in the finisher. Sharmell let him have it and he argued back this time. Scotty 2 Hotty and Funaki lose to William Regal and Paul Birchall. Eddie Guerrero cuts a promo in the back behind a cage basically stating he has lost his family and he has nothing to lose. He says he will brutilize Rey in their match. Went WAY too long. Randy Orton beats Rey Mysterio Jr. in a phenomenal match that went easily 15 to 20 minutes. Dark Match Main Event Batista Beats Randy Orton via Batista Bomb. A lot of people were VERY angry that the Undertaker and JBL were advertised along with Eddie Guerrero and did not appear, even though JBL has an autograph session right here in Jacksonville tomorrow. Unbelievable that they get away with this garbage with no explanation. Arena was 3/4 full. Overall a hot crowd with some dead spots in the interview segments that went on and on.

Pretty funny stuff Rematch: Chris Benoit beats Orlando Jordan by tap out in 23.4 seconds. Clock was counting down in the corner of screen. Can they bury Jordan any more? ANOTHER rematch announced for next week with Jordan and Benoit. Ok this sounds like the greatest thing in the history of wrestling. Maybe finally they've taken the hint with Orlando Jordan.

Guest big pau hoolinator Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 It's good that Benoit is owning Jordan but I think he shouldnt be completely buried or else who is gonna challenge for the US Title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naitch Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 It's good that Benoit is owning Jordan but I think he shouldnt be completely buried or else who is gonna challenge for the US Title To be honest I would take pretty much anyone over Orlando Jordan as challenger for the US Title. Hell I might buy a pair of wrestling boots and challenge Benoit because even I would do a better job than Jordan has done for the 2 years he has been in the WWE.

Guest Jung Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 To be fair there are loads of people Benoit could face. Regal, Booker, Ken Kennedy, Christian etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevejd Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Brian Kendrick returns on Velocity this week, I haveheard of him, when was he last in WWE? Also, why don't the Mexicools ever have a match on Smackdown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FreeSpirit Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The Mexicools wrestled Booker and Christian last week on Smackdown. While Spanky (Brian Kendrick) left WWE about a year ago because he wasnt happy with the direction his career was going, and has been wrestling in Ring Of Honor recently.

Guest Simon Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Orlando Jordan being buried = Very happy wrestling fan over here. Finally. The guy just sucks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Gringo Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Amen Simon... He was so generic and bland when he started out in both character and moveset and just hasn't changed at all... His ownership of the US title was just a joke to me, a big huge joke at the expense of a great title that should MEAN something... So it's nice to see the WWE come to their sense, ditch him and give the belt to some one who can carry it with pride and give it prestige... And nice to see the afro'd one tap like a bafoon everyweek lol.... But after next weeks, can they just end it and have someone else squish him like a bug? Benoit needs bigger and better things to do with that belt... Like fued with Regal and BURCHILL over it... Oh yes those matches would rule.

Guest Christof Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 My one fear for Benoit is that they are hyping his speedy matches, with OJ's gimmick being that he can knock someone out. Next week could we see Benoit floored in 20 secs with a knockout punch? I for one am shuddering at the thought. Any news on when we in the UK will see Friday Smackdown?

Guest Devilish Angel Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I have read on UKFF.com (from someone that has connections with SKY, and this guy is normally right), that it will still be shown on Fridays withthe UK airing it before it's aired in the US.

Guest Craig Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Benoit is god. I found his promo to be hilarious. Just like last weeks. Man, hes good. Beat his own record. 23.4 seconds. :worship :worship :worship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Craig Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Batista is also a god, not as much as benoit though. He liked the Simon System. That stuff can do wonders, and that pose should be on the front of the Simon System now. Benoit, once again, hilarious. Rey and Orton was pretty good. Mr. Kennedy is on a roll baby, he beat Booker T. Kennedy. Eddie/Rey Steel Cage should be good next week, and the Bullrope match should be ok. I hope Batista retains. He should, as he dominated JBL in there SummerSlam. Ok, not dominated, but, he Batista Bombed the man, twice. Kennedy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Assignment Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I have read one report truly slating the regal burchill match. Was it actually that bad? Basically just wanting to know how Burchill got on this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slim Jim Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 The Burchill match wasn't anything special. He only really did one move, an awesome shoulder breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I also only have 2 words to say about Smackdown. Mr.... Kennedy. Kennnnnnnnnedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LiveStrong Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 it's nice that benoit is getting promom time now... and can show some charisma while also looking kickass in the ring.. looks like eddie vs rey steel cage match next week.... and i'm hoping for a lesnar return.. but next weeks smackdown is fixing to be fantastic... this weeks looks good.. Kennedy is immpressing and MNM are owning the 'tag champs' which is good... main event sounds awsome but then again randy and rey are both capable of putting on main event matches.. so why won't rey get a big push?? good show for once by smackdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mermaidman Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 (edited) I liked the holly/grenier segment. melina, and the rey/orton match i liked Bob Orton's character he is a true legend. :worship Edited September 3, 2005 by Mermaidman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hoffmeister Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I liked the holly/grenier segment. melina' date=' and the rey/orton match i liked Bob Orton's character he is a true legend. :worship[/quote'] I marked for Holly big time this week, I literally jump up and down in the house when I here his entrance theme. Bob Orton is more of a legend than Dusty or Hogan, thats in my opinion before everyone comes up with the stocks and shares stats for the WWE whilst Hogan held the title.
