WWE Smackdown Tour

[Pommespanzer]

Ich war gestern mal wieder in der Videothek und da stach mir auch sofort die DVD von Ready to Rumble ins Auge.
Habt ihr den Film schonmal gesehen? Der ist echt genial und DAvid Arquette spielt seine Rolle ziemlich gut. Er war ja auch mal für kurze Zeit im Wrestling Business (WCW: Triple Cage Match....).


So, seit langem schaue ich gerade wieder SmackDown und bin überwältigt.
Hier der Bericht zu SmackDown (3 Tage vor No Mercy):

The Big Show hat das Auto von Eddie Guerrero mit einer Eisenstange zerschrottet und eine Powerbomb mit ihm auf die Motorhaube gemacht. Danach noch einen Chokeslam auf das Dach. Eddie hatte danach einige Schnittwunden von den Scheiben seines Autos.
Stephanie McMahon durfte bei dieser Veranstaltung NICHT die Arena betreten und gab darufhin ein Interview, indem sie später auch angefangen ist zu weinen.
Kurt Angel hat sich über irgendeinen "Seener" (den Wrestlet kannte ich vorher nicht) lustig gemacht und ihm dann einen kleinen Vorgeschmack auf No Mercy gegeben.
The Undertaker wurde von ??? während eines Interviews mit einer Kette angegriffen und in den Ring gezerrt. Später konnte er sich wehren und ??? mit einem Chokeslam zu Boden befördern....

Rey Myserio vs. Tajiri
WWE Cruiserweight Championship

Back and forth action to start, with a good mix of headscissors and ground based lucha moves keep it pretty even to start. Tajiri goes for a handspring elbow but Rey has it scouted and dropkicks Tajiri on the backflip, with the impact forcing him out of the ring. Rey quickly follows up with an over the top rope splash. Rey tries to immediately follow up by climbing the turnbuckle, but Tajiri quickly gets back on the defense and shoves Rey off the top and down to the outside. Tajiri now has control for the first time in the match and works Rey over in the corner with some fierce kicks to the face. Tajiri then goes to work on the left shoulder of Myserio, weakening the challenger with several different armbars and shoulder kicks. Rey slowly tries to rebound, climbing the top ropes, Tajiri goes to try and throw him off, but fails as Mysterio flings him down and immediately hits a great Tornado DDT to finally even up the match. Rey is the first up and hits a springboard crossbody for a two count. Tajiri slingshots Rey over the rope, but Rey lands on his feet on the apron outside the ropes, and then counters with a headscissors flinging Tajiri over the top rope to the outside. Rey quickly hits a rana on the outside before flinging Tajiri back into the ring. Tajiri ducks out of a top rope dive, but Rey hits a 619 out of nowhere, non-traditional as he hits him in the gut. Rey quickly goes for a West Coast Pop, but Tajiri counters into a powerbomb! After some back and forth action, Rey hits a standing moonsault from the top rope for a long two count! Just as Rey seems to be in control Tajiri hits a stiff kick out of nowhere before locking in the tarantula. Tajri goes for his signature kick but misses, Rey ducks out and the two once again exchange back and forth blows before Tajiri hits the West Coast Pop. Rey goes for the cover but two people from the crowd run into the ring! As the referee and security shove him out of the ring Rey walks right into a Tajiri kick! Tajiri covers and retains the Cruiserweight title thanks to the outside interference of “fans” that interfered. Cole insists they will be prosecuted to the “fullest extent of the law”. The fans were Ryan Sakoda and Jimmy Yang, but we’re not supposed to know that yet!

Winner: Tajiri

-Backstage, Josh Matthews interviews Vince McMahon. Vince declares that anyone who interferes in his match with Stephanie tonight will not only be fired, but never allowed back in the company ever again.

A-Train vs. Chris Benoit
A-Train and Benoit do a little pregame shoving match as the crowd chants “Shave Your Back” to A-Train. Brutally obvious contrast of styles as both Train and Benoit exchange blows, with Train connecting on a lot of power corner moves, but Benoit counters with dodges and quick fists in defense. Cole and Tazz acknowledge the death of Stu Hart, sending out their condolences and pointing out that Stu trained Benoit. A-Train takes the early advantage of the match, dominating with pure power moves. Train hits several clubbing blows to the back of the neck, flat out overpowering Benoit to the boos of the crowd. Train remains completely in control until Benoit hits a DDT out of nowhere to finally even up the match. Benoit goes for the Germans, but Train counters with a German Suplex of his own! Train flings Benoit through the ropes to the outside and continues his powerful dominance over Benoit, who is bleeding from the mouth. Train goes for a chair which gets flung to the ground. Train hits a Gorilla Press, but Train slips and Benoit lands terribly awkward on his shoulder and neck! It doesn’t look good, but apparently he’s ok because within 30 seconds Benoit is German Suplexing A-Train out of nowhere! Benoit signals for the flying headbutt, but Train gets up on the defense and throws Benoit off the top rope to the mat. Train does the Benoit throat slit and begins to climb the top rope, but changes his mind and hits the Derailer! Train goes for the cover, but only gets a two count. Train goes for his charging kick but misses and lands in the chair he planted in the middle turnbuckle as the ref was checking on Benoit’s injury. Benoit quickly applies the Sharpshooter and A-Train taps!

Winner: Chris Benoit

-Backstage, Matt Hardy finds Shannon Moore being choked by the big bleached blonde dude that has been bothering Austin over on RAW. Apparently “Little Johnny” told him that Hardy and Moore threw away the highlight tape he was supposed to give to Stephanie McMahon. Hardy insists that it was actually a Shannon Moore highlight tape, and threw it away because it “Wasn’t very long!” Big bleached blonde dude apologizes and leaves, with the insistence of V1-ahhhhhh that the New GM, whoever it may be will get the highlight tape of the big guy.

-New Survivor Series ad is hilarious, football themed, ending with Vince McMahon saying “WWE and football together? Nah!”

Matt Hardy, Version 1 vs. Zach Gowen
Matt Facts: Matt CANNOT Be Grossed Out & Matt has survived FIVE Car Wrecks

Matt slaps Gowen around to start, but Gowen counters with his explosive offensive arsenal of dropkicks. Dropkick, dropkick, dropkick, then Hardy counters with a clothesline, followed by the V1-ahhhh taunt. Gowen tries to go upstairs, but the little MFer Shannon Moore shoves Gowen off the top, allowing Hardy to regain control of the match. Hardy hits snake eyes followed by another fierce clothesline. Hardy goes for a cover, but gets only a two count. Hardy tries a few more times, but same result as Gowen kicks out after two. Hardy goes for a moonsault, but Gowen rolls out of the way. Gowen hits a dropkick that flings Hardy to the outside of the ring, and Zach immediately follows up with a heilo to the outside that connects. Gowen goes top rope again and hits a splash, covers, and gets a two count. Just as Gowen seems to have his first advantage, he walks right into a Matt Hardy Side Effect. Hardy covers and gets a two count. Gowen tries to go top rope again, but gets caught and Hardy goes top rope, tries a back suplex, but Gowen elbows him off and connects with a moonsault. Gowen covers and beats Matt Hardy cleanly!

Winner: Zach Gowen

-More backstage fun with Vince McMahon as he’s greeted by his charming wife Linda. Linda begs him not to go through with the match, as he’s dividing the family into something he can’t come back from. Vince says he expected it, and knows that Linda goes through with the match. Vince actually gives Stephanie advantage, saying Vince can only win by submission, while Steph can win by both submission and pinfall. However to make it “Fair” the match will be “No Holds Barred”, Linda looks annoyed and leaves.

-A new match was added on Heat…

APA vs. Basham Bros.

The Bashams enter to SILENCE, and I mean SILENCE. I seriously have never heard an arena so quiet, maybe it was an audio problem on the WWE’s end, but I doubt it. Bradshaw starts first on one of the Bashams before tagging in Faarooq, who also works over one of the Bashams, leading to an APA double team squash. The Bashams manage a little bit of offense, but the APA brawling is just too much as Bradshaw works over Danny on the outside, while Faarroq dominates Doug inside the ring. Bashams hit a double back suplex out of nowhere once the actual slightly settles down. Danny backs Faarooq into the Basham corner and the Basham double teams continue. Bradshaw tries to save, but the referee shoves him back, while in the process the Bashams do yet another double team on Faarooq. Danny Basham stays in control until Faarooq hits a spinebuster out of nowhere. Double tag brings the hot tag to Bradshaw, who cleans house on the two heels. Bradshaw hits a powerbomb to Doug, covers, and Basham kicks out at two! The Bashams try a double team, but Bradshaw sees it and flings Doug to the outside. Danny walks right into a “Last Call” fallaway slam from Bradshaw, Doug climbs to the top rope, but Bradshaw catches him and hits a last call from the second rope to Doug. Bradshaw goes for the cover but Basham makes a save. Faarooq accidently knocks out the ref, and on cue Shaniqua shockingly returns out of nowhere, clubs Bradshaw over the back of the head with a lead pipe. One of the Bashams covers and the Brothers pick up the win.

Winners: Basham Bros.

-Backstage post match interview with Bashams and Shaniqua. Shaniqua says it takes more than a clothesline from hell to take her out. The hit put “swelling in her chest that may be permanent”. In other words, Shaniqua got some implants! The Bashams look really..excited as they leave.

-Vince/Steph video package.

Vince McMahon vs. Stephanie McMahon
Linda pleads again to have Vince stop the match. While Steph helps Linda out of the ring Vince hits Steph from behind, knocking her to the mat. Steph is up quickly and sort of clasps on to his back, maybe a sleeper hold? Whatever the move, it doesn’t last long as Vince flings her over his back and to the mat again. Vince grabs her by the hair and flings her across the ring. Vince holds Stephanie into the turnbuckle while taunting Linda. Vince drapes her over the middle rope, allowing Sable to slap her. Linda gets pissed and chases after Sable, but runs right into Vince, who makes the save. LOUD asshole chant to Vince. Stephanie actually lands a couple kicks to the gut, goes for a third but Vince catches it and follows up with a stiff clothesline. Vince now locks in a half Boston Crab as Linda tries to guide Steph to the ropes. Vince lets go and changes to a knee-to-back submission as Stephanie squeals in pain. Steph actually lands an eye rake. Sable grabs a lead pipe from underneath the ring, it lands in the ring before Linda grabs her down and beats the crap out of her on the outside of the ring! Stephanie has hold of the lead pipe and racks Vince in the nuts with the pipe several times, gets a rollup, and a long two count as the crowd explodes. Steph still has the pipe and works over Vince as he begs for mercy. Steph covers and Vince gets his foot on the rope after another long two count. Sable tries to interfere, Steph goes after Sable, all the while Vince recovers, tries to attack Steph, but she shoves Vince into Sable, lands a bulldog! Another two count as the crowd is electric! Steph goes for the pipe again, charges, but Vince catches her with a choke across the neck. Vince now has the pipe and rams it into Steph’s stomach. Vince now chokes Stephanie with the lead pipe across the neck. LOUD You Suck chant from the crowd. Linda THROWS IN THE TOWEL, shades of Backlund? And the match is over.

Winner: Vince McMahon

-The crowd was really hot for the match, and it was better than expected. Steph never quit, Linda quit for her, which will probably loophole her back once her wedding is over.

-Vince now attacks Linda, shoving her to the mat face first as Vince and Sable make out in front of a downed Linda and Stephanie. Stephanie comes to and realizes Linda threw in the towel and looks upset. Cole says that this will be the last time we’ll see Stephanie on WWE TV as long as Vince McMahon is in charge. The speculation starts as to who the new Smackdown GM will be.

-Cena/Angle video package.

John Cena vs. Kurt Angle
Crowd mixed, with a “Lets Go Angle/Lets Go Cena” mixed chant. Mostly a shoving match and head games to start, with Angle actually giving Cena the double bird. Angle takes the early advantage, spearing Cena in the corner turnbuckle. Angle follows up with the “Whooo” Chops to the chest followed by an iriish whip, which Cena avoids causing Angle to land shoulder first into the turnbuckle post. The impact knocked Angle to the outside as Cena goes to the outside and throws Angle back into the ring, giving Cena his first noticeable advantage of the match. Cena hits a neckbreaker, covers, and gets a two count. Cena remains in advantage until Angle dropkicks a Cena top rope attack, taking out one of Cena’s knees on the landing. Angle now takes control with a long series of clotheslines ending with a Russian Legsweep, cover, and two count. Angle throws Cena into the turnbuckle, on the bounce back Angle hits a drop toehold and immediately into an Ankle Lock! Cena quickly climbs to the ropes and pulls himself to the outside of the ring. Cena runs around, dodging Angle’s attack, gets in the ring. Angle almost tries a German Suplex off the Apron, but Cena elbows out and hits a modified DDT on the APRON, off the side of the ring and to the outside, pretty sick move! Cena scouts Angle as he climbs back into the ring and connects with a guillotine legdrop as Angle’s neck was just entering between the top and middle rope! Cena covers and gets a two count. Cena hits the “Throwback”, covers, and gets another two count. Cena charges Angle, but Angle dodges and quickly rolls Cena up for a quick two count. Angle immediately goes back to work, this time with a triple German Suplex. Angle covers and gets two. Both are out of it, but Cena is the first to his feet, pummeling Angle with knees to the back. Cena goes for a powerbomb – which flings Angle into the top turnbuckle pad head first! Anoteher sick move as Cena covers and gets a LONG two count. Cena poses for the crowd and calls for the FU, which connects! Cena covers, but Angle kicks out at two again! Cena looks frustrated as he goes for another FU, but Angle counters out and hits the Angle Slam! Angle covers and gets a two count. Crowd now LOUDLY chants Cena as he grabs the chain, which the referee sees and intercepts, but as the referee puts that away Cena pulls out ANOTHER chain, this time Gold Medals -- and decks Angle across the forehead. Cena covers and only gets two! Cena’s frustration continues to mount as both guys counter each other’s finishing move. Cena goes for a victory roll, but Angle counters into the ankle lock! Cena nearly gets to the ropes, but Angle pulls him back to the center of the ring and locks it in tight, forcing Cena to tap. Great match!

Winner: Kurt Angle

The Big Show vs. Eddie Guerrero
WWE U.S. Championship

Eddie is coming to the ring without a lowrider tonight. Selling the injury from Smackdown Thursday night, Eddie is covered with bandages across the back. Show dominates from the start, working over Eddie’s injured back. Eddie finally manages a little bit of offense, shoving Big Show over the top rope to the outside. Eddie grabs a chair from underneath the ring and throws it inside the ring. As Nick Patrick gets rid of the chair, Eddie grabs a trash can lid from underneath the ring and pastes Show across the head! Eddie gets Show back in the ring and works over the big man with kicks and chops to the midsection, trying to slow the big man down. Eddie’s work doesn’t do much good as Show walks forward while Eddie calls for timeout. Eddie bails to the outside, but Show follows him and throws Eddie into a turnbuckle post. Show gets Eddie back in the ring and basically sits on Guerrero and applies a bunch of submission holds. Show continues to dominate, flinging Eddie like a rag doll into the turnbuckle posts. Show once again works Eddie in the corner, placing him on the top turnbuckle, but Eddie shoves Show’s head into the turnbuckle pad which was exposed earlier in the match. With Show dazed, Eddie hits a frog splash as Show is still standing! The referee gets knocked out as Show falls backwards, allowing Eddie to grab some brass knucks. Eddie connects and covers as the referee comes to, but only gets a two count. Eddie now goes to the outside again and this time uses the U.S. title, which he pastes across the Big Show’s skull while the referee still tries to recover. Eddie goes upstairs and connects with a frog splash, Patrick slowly comes over to make the cover, counts, but only gets a two count! Eddie looks frustrated as Show slowly climbs to his feet. Eddie charges and runs right into a Big Show spinebuster! Show covers and gets a two count. Both guys slowly get up, but Big Show hits a chokeslam out of nowhere! Show covers, and gets only a two count as Eddie gets his foot on the bottom rope. Both guys again slowly get to their feet, and Eddie connects with a low blow. Both guys again COLLAPSE to the mat as the referee starts a double count. Eddie climbs over and tries to cover, but only gets a two count. Eddie Guerrero walks into ANOTHER choke slam, and this time its for good as The Big Show covers and finally gets the pin!

Winner: The Big Show

-Lesnar/Taker video package.

Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker
WWE Championship

Lesnar starts out aggressive, trying to lock in a bear hug on Taker. Taker eventually breaks the hold and starts to work over Lesnar’s shoulder. Taker takes the first noticeable advantage of the match when he connects with a running legdrop, two count, followed up by the Old School. Lesnar bails to the outside and Taker follows, landing some fists before flinging Lesnar back inside the ring. Taker measures up an elbow still on the outside of the ring, as Lesnar’s head is draped underneath the ropes, and connects with an elbow to the throat. Lesnar seemingly recovers out of nowhere, as he rolls to the outside and counters a Taker attack into an irish whip into the ring steps. Lesnar now has the advantage as he gets Taker back into the ring and works him over with irish whips and clotheslines. Taker tries to regain some momentum, but each time Lesnar seems to counter with a power move. Taker finally seems to power down Lesnar, and goes for the chain, but as he goes for it the lights go out! The lights come on and Taker is down on guard in the ring, but nothing actually happened. The time allows Lesnar to retake the advantage as he clubs down Taker before going outside the ring to grab the ring steps. Lesnar works over Taker’s midsection, but Taker battles back, attempts a whip, but Lesnar reverses and drop toe holds Taker into the ring steps that are inside the ring. Lesnar tries to ram Taker’s head into the steps, but Taker blocks both attempts before getting to his feet and clotheslining Lesnar over the top rope to the outside. Taker hits a modified piledriver onto to lone remaining steel step on the outside of the ring! Pretty sick shot, prompting the first “holy shit’ chant of the night. Taker climbs to the ropes to go for the chain, but Lesnar goes after him. Taker dodges the Lesnar attack by locking in the triangle legchoke while still on the top turnbuckle! Taker eventually breaks the hold, and Lesnar hits a desperation low blow out of nowhere to even up the match. Both guys brawl into the corner with the biker chain pole. Lesnar actually tries to climb OVER the Undertaker to the rope, but Taker gets him up for the last ride! Just as Taker tries to slam him down, Lesnar escapes from behind, and both follow up with a double clothesline as both guys are down on the mat. Taker regains the momentum with power moves, clotheslines into the turnbuckle. With Lesnar worn down, Taker connects with the Snake Eyes followed by a boot to the face. Taker locks in the triangle choke, but Lesnar actually lifts him up into a modified powerbomb! Both guys are temporarily out, but Taker is the first to the offense applying a dragon sleeper! With the sleeper locked in Lesnar stands up and hits an F5 out of nowhere! Lesnar covers, but gets only a two count as Taker gets his foot on the bottom rope. Taker regains the advantage and as he climbs for the biker chain, all three FBI members come out of nowhere to take out the Undertaker, but he successfully dodges all of them. Lesnar tries to sneak an F5, but Taker counters into the Last Ride and connects! Taker propels himself over the top rope to take out the FBI one last time. Taker gets back in the ring to find Nunzio going for the biker chain, which Taker swats away with a fist. Taker finally grabs the Biker Chain. Out of nowhere comes Vince McMahon, who apparently out of the crowd shoves Taker off the top rope, causing Taker to drop the chain which lands into the hands of Lesnar. Lesnar charges and pastes Taker across the head with the chain, covers, and retains the title.

Winner: Brock Lesnar
