Dark match
-Henry Godwinn b Bull Buchanan. Bull tried his leaping to the turnbuckle kick and fell on his ass. They went home and Godwinn hit the Slop Drop. Crowd booed Godwinn. Crowd booed Bull. Crowd booed the match. Crowd popped when it was over.
Smackdown
-Modified open, same crappy music. The "new" people are all over the new intro.
-Finlay b Misterio clean. Probably 2 segments (commercial) and it went about 15:00. Seriously top stuff. Misterio blows a spring board from the ropes and then gets caught with the EF for the win. Then the JBL thing
mentioned already. Misterio walks away.
-Kennedy b Jobber You Knew with his Samoan Drop finish. He did pre-match talking Tyler up and said he had a major announcement. Post match he called for Long and then did a tease of wanting Cena. He said he may go to RAW to do it. Long said that Kennedy hadn't beaten everyone on Smack Down! and would fight Undertaker at No Mercy.
-Kendrick/London/Massaro b McCool-Alexander/James/Stevens. Hot stuff with Kendrick & London. Kendrick pinned James with a sunset flip/Dropsault combo. Basically, a modified version of the finish with the Highlanders on RAW (only involving the girls and no Haas doing a suplex).
-Lashley b William Regal with the Oklahoma Stampede. Vito did commentary.Regal did pre-match mic work talking about the match the week before. Regal said he'd refuse to wrestle Vito again and would be facing a real gentleman.
-The Miz b Matt Hardy with a roll-up holding the tights after Helms knocked Hardy from the top. Miz did pre-match mike work and was schlock. Miz is annoying as sin. Hardy is still over.
-Vickie Guerrero was introduced as Chavo's new business manager. She did mike work and was booed. Chavo b Tatanka with a frog splash clean.
-Teddy was in the back with MVP. MVP said he wanted Cena money. Long said something that no one around me heard but the crowd went "oooooooh" for. MVP said Long would regret it.
-King Booker T b Batista when Finlay hit Batista with the shilleleigh. Regal did a run in through the crowd with knux and got stopped on the outside. Sharmell tried to toss in a chair. While the ref was dealing with
the chair and Sharmell, Finlay came out and whacked Batista over the head with the shilleleigh. Finlay then destroyed Batista after the fall with the weapon, then rammed him into multiple exposed turnbuckles. Crowd was super hot for Batista. They ran a promo for the match, the entrances, then the match as 3 segments. Counting 2 for Misterio/Finlay that's the 10 for Smack Down!
They had some time to kill during the SD taping and had the T-shirt guy come out at one point (prior to the Chavo match). JBL eventually got the gun and was shooting Cole with it. He ran down Chimmel, who was jumped in the aisleway by Johnny Ace and then shot him. Actually, it looked like everyone was having tons of fun. Charles Robinson was the ref for Chavo-Tatanka and was very good at dodging JBL's attack.
ECW ring change. They basically destroyed 3 seats in the front row and gave a kid and his family backstage passes. Very cool, I thought.
