I Miss James Cameron
Okay,the Alien vs. Predator really sucked! I hope everybody who can calls 20th Century Fox and lets them have it!
SummerSlam/RAW/Smackdown Review
The Dudleys beat Kidman,London,and Mysterio for the opener. Hey,they had to place it somewhere. Spike comes back in the pinn Kidman. I'm happy to see Kidman and London together on a PPV.
The Kane/Hardy match is next. Kane tried al kinds of ways to win even getting counted out. At one point Lita through Matt the ring bell and he clocked Kane with it but Kane recovered. Kane wins with a chokeslam off the top rope. No Lita heel turn?
John Cena interrupts a Randy Orton promo. I wonder what this could lead too. Maybe an inter-promotional match in the future for these guys. One can only hope!
Good match between Cena and Booker T. It would have been cool to see Orton do a run in but still a good match. Cena gets the win and is 1-0 in the 5 Match Series.
Nice little teaser with the two General Managers,Teddy Long (SD!) and Eric Bischoff (RAW).Eric basically tells Long not to expect that he will be GM for long with Smackdown track record for going through managers. Long responds by invited anyone from Raw who wants to to come to Smackdown!
I like the Edge/Batista/Jericho match and I sincerely thought Edge would not leave with the Title.The match just ended all of a sudden and left everybody like "huh...." Bad ending to what could have been a good match. Edge got pissed cause the crowd cheered for Batista instead of him
Kurt Angle beat Eddie Guerrero cleanly with the Ankle Lock in what was a great match. Angle looked in great shape and Smackdown is thanking their lucky stars for it!
Triple H defeats Eugene when Eugene gets distracted.Regal consols him after his first loss in the WWE.
The Diva Contestants beat the RAW Divas in short order. The Canadian crowd booed because the match was held somewhere else in the building and not out in the arena where they could see the girls.
The JBL/Undertaker match was just basically shit and the crowd started a wave during the match and several chants. This made Undertaker extremely pissed backstage. JBL wins by DQ when the ref seen Undertaker with the belt.
Finally,the Benoit/Orton match is here. The crowd booed Earl Herbner with "You Screwed Bret" chants. Pretty good match with Orton getting win. Afterwards,Benoit comes back to the ring and extends his hand telling Orton to "be a man." They shake hands and Orton celebrates in the ring. Looks like Orton will be playing the face against Triple H after seeing that ending. An okay show...could have been better. Later.
RAW After SummerSlam
Of course,the opening segment was the Randy Orton promo. God,he's gonna need a lot of work if he is to be the next "Rock." After a while of bousting,Benoit heads to the ring to set things straight. He says he wants his guranteed rematch TONIGHT! Great way to start the show. I'm impressed so far.
Next we see an invitation to Kane and Lita's Wedding next week in Anaheim with Kane narrating. Lame...
Awesome segment with Lita and the other RAW Divas (Kim,Trish,Molly,etc.) throwing Lita a Wedding Shower. This was hilarious shit! I thought it was especially funny when Trish followed Lita out shouting "You forgot your condems!" Funny as hell!
Victoria nailed Trish with a bad ass slap to end the segment!
The "HBK Returns" video is shown...we advertise things like that now? I thought it was supposed to be a surprise. Fairly good match between Victoria and Gail Kim. I hate the angle with Steven Richards dressing in drag. Just come out there and reunite...QUIT INSULTING OUR FUCKING INTELLIGENCE!!
Edge beats Kane to retain the IC Title. This was a wedding gift to Kane from Eric Bischoff that didn't quite pan out. The match wasn't that great but it got better. Kane started out with a weak promo with it resulting in Lita slapping him. Then,Kane said,"Oh,yeah! That's the way I like it,baby!" I spit my beer half way across the room. I laughed so hard it was insane. Best part of the segment!
Before we hear who has been eliminated from the Diva Search this week. They ask every Diva wanna-be who they would vote off! Everyone voted to eliminate Carmella...Carmella voted for Joy...! Could this be a spoiler as to who wins? I sincerely hope not,because Carmella is the stupidest contestant left. She was no personality and can't do anything she is asked even if it is "silly." Something smells really bad about this contest now. Michelle McCool is eliminiated! The one that won the Diva Dodgeball match!
Okay match between Chris Jericho and Batista. Jericho did the best he could to give Batista a rub. Much like the SummerSlam match..it ended all of a sudden. What ever happened to building up to a finish? Flair and Batista beat down Jericho while Edge watches but does nothing.....*Cough*heel turn*Cough*
Nice pep-talk by Triple H. Blatant face turn by Orton after viewing this clip. It's apparent that tonight is when Evolution beats the shit out of him.
Awesome match between Orton and Benoit. I thought it was better than SummerSlam. Evolution runs down and helps Orton score the pin and all of them get in the ring to celebrate. Batista puts Orton on his shoulders and they parade him around the ring for a while even making some fans start to leave thinking that the show was over...Good Shit....then Triple H gives the signal and they beat the shit outta Orton while the fans stare on in disbelief. I think they pushed this too quick. I thought this match was scheduled for WrestleMania 21 but oh well. Great show,I hope they keep it up!
Smackdown After SummerSlam
JBL comes to the ring to what would become a very long segment. He talks about not getting to pin The Undertaker. He accused him of "failing to pass the torch" to JBL. Oh my God! Like that hasn't been said about the Undertaker before! The 'Taker comes out and chases JBL and Jordan outta the ring. Entertaining but too long.
In a grudge match,Spike Dudley retains the Cruiserweight Title by beating Scotty 2 Hotty. Damn,he needs a name change with Brian Christopher and Rikishi both gone from the WWE. No gimmick wouldn't hurt either.
It is annouced that the 2nd match in the Best of 5 Series between Booker T and John Cena will be next week! I hope it's a little better than SummerSlam.
There is an interview with Cena in which the Dudleys interrupt and beat down Cena. No point in this segment.
Kidman and London beat Jamie Knoble and Chavo Guerrero. Good to see Knoble and Chavo back on SD. Not enough time given to this match to really do anything with it.
GM Teddy Long annouces John Cena will take on D-Von Dudley tonight!
Another annoucement. Tough Enough 4 will begin this fall with a $1 million reward. Oh boy!
Eddie Guerrero comes to the ring and challenges Angle to a match tonight. He tricks Angle into shaking his hand and then attacks him. Luther Reigns then steps in to help double-team Eddie.
Cena makes short work of D-Von and then tells Booker T that the US Title is his.
RVD gets the win over Renee Dupree in a rematch. Weak match with RVD hitting all his usual shit. After the match Kenzo Suzuki attacks Van Dam. I really think this Kenzo guys sucks and has no talent. Cut HIM!
Theodore R. Long comes to the ring to make yet another announcement. The return of The Big Show. Great! ....Lord help us all!!!
Eddie and Rey Mysterio defeated Kurt Angle and Luther Reigns in a great match. Descent show but they are obviously not anywhere near RAW even with TE4 coming this fall which I'd rather see anyday as apposed to a Diva Search. See ya next week.
