WWE Smackdown Taping
Philadelphia, Pa.
Thanks to Dot Net reader Hank Sipps
The arena is about 98 percent full. Lots of "whooo" chants.
Dark Match
1. Ron Killings pinned a jobber. Killings got the win with an axe kick. The kick look sick.
Smackown Taping
Smackdown starts with MVP's Lounge. His guest is Jeff Hardy who receives a huge pop. MVP runs down Jeff Hardy's troubles—the suspension, losing the Intercontinental Championship, his house fire, losing his dog. They then call Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil comes on the line and blames Jeff for being reckless and not caring about his career.
Jeff finally has enough and pushes MVP through the ropes and out of the ring. MVP goes to the back. Jeff walks up the ramp, pauses at the top as the fans applaud. He raises his arms and salutes.
A biggest part of the summer battle royal is announced for later tonight. It will determine the number one contender for Triple H's WWE Championship at SummerSlam.
The Battle Royal participants are: Ken Kennedy, Jeff Hardy, MVP, Big Show, Umaga, and The Great Khali. Khali ugh.
1. Shelton Benjamin beat Jimmy Wang Yang. Shelton draws a lot of heat from the fans. Benjamin dominates throughout and hits an odd finisher. I think he botched. I allways liked Sheltonn and glad they put the strap on him.
2. Festus pinned Curt Hawkins.
Festus dominated throughout. After the match, Hawkins and Ryder attacked Festus. Nothing special.
3. Vladimir Kozlov beat Stevie Richards. Kozlov takes out Richards with a shoulder block and then a heatbutt for the win. After the match Kozlov says something to Jim Ross and Mick Foley that the live audience could not hear. I like Kozlov but God give him a real opponent.
4. The Great Khali beat Ken Kennedy, Jeff Hardy, MVP, Big Show, and Umaga to win the battle royal. MVP is eliminated first. Big Show eliminates Umaga and then Kennedy. Khali vs. Big Show as Hardy slumps in the corner. Umaga comes back in and hits Big Show with the Samoan spike. The ref orders him to the back. Kennedy is eliminated by the Big Show. Big Show is then eliminated by Jeff Hardy. The Great Khali gets the win by eliminating Jeff Hardy. Runjin Singh returns. Triple H comes out to confront Khali. I was so mad at this decision. Allowing Khali have a title match at Summer Slam it makes no sense.
A Ron Killings promo airs. He will be coming to Smackdown soon. I am happy as I liked him in TNA and hope he does well in WWE
5. Michelle McCool pinned Maryse. McCool won by getting Maryse to tap in her leg submission. Michelle was wearing the ugly belt. God Natalya sould be champ.
Maria will be debuting on SmackDown next week. I am happy about that but were is Carlito, D H smith, and Big Daddy V
6. Brian Kendrick (w/Ezekiel) beat Shannon Moore. Kendrick comes out with Ezekiel and cuts a promo. Moore is initially over matched by the hyper aggressive Kendrick. Moore is distracted by Ezekiel. Kendrick hits the slice bread for the win. I like Kendrick's new gimmick and look.
Up next is Edge's public apology to Vickie. He comes out to the ring and calls out Vickie. She is wheeled out by Chavo. Vickie hugs Edge and tells him she forgives him. She then says that hell hatch no fury like a woman scorn. She tells Edge she has reinstated the Undertaker and that he will face him at SummerSlam in a Hell in a Cell match. She then announces that Edge will face Triple H right now in a Philadelphia Street Fight. This will more-than-likely be a dark match.
Edge gets on the mic and says that no matter what he gets thrown into, he still loves Vickie Guerrero.
Dark Match
1. Triple H defeated Edge in a Philadelphia Street Fight to retain the WWE Championship. Triple H starts out fast by smashing Edge's head into the announcers table. Edge reverses and throws Triple H into the ring steps. Another reversal as Triple H smashes Edge into the announcers table. He whips Edge into Jim Ross. Back in the ring, Triple H brings in a sledgehammer. Edge blocks the sledgehammer and knocks Triple H to the mat. He gets two chairs and sets up the concerto. Triple H gets out of the way and hits Edge in the face with the sledgehammer and pins him for the win.
After Triple H leaves to the rousing applause, Edge scrambles unsteadily to his feet. He proclaims his love for his baby Vickie no matter what. He stumbles to the back with the referees help.
Good show and the crowd was in to it.
