5/21 Hermanstyne's WWE Smackdown Live Coverage: Over the Limit go-home show which includes Kofi Kingston vs. Jack Swagger, MVP and Rey Mysterio vs. The Straightedge Society, Drew McIntyre vs. Big Show
May 21, 2010 - 07:00 PM


By Marv Hermanstyne

WWE Friday Night Smackdown on MyNetworkTV
Taped in Ottawa, Ont.

[Q1] The show started with footage from last week when Swagger was boring us with all of his accomplishments and how Big Show destroyed everything. The opening montage aired and Show vs. McIntyre and Kofi vs. Swagger are the main events for tonight.

In the ring, the SES had some new recruits in the ring. Gallows talked about the recruits on how they your to ruin their lives with drugs and how they can be saved by Punk. Serena ordered everyone to stand up and show Punk the respect that he deserves. Gallows continued to kiss more of Punks ass and talked about in Canada how it is legal to drink alcohol and said they are mentally handicapping themselves. He said the recruits will take the Straightedge pledge and Punk will do the same to Mysterio at Over the Limit. Serena said that the recruits represent the decay and the worthlessness of Canada. He said that Punk will heal the crowd and Mysterio. He said the power of straightedge will heal into enternity.

Punk asked everyone to raise their hands and feel the power of being straightedge. He said the pledge will erase all the bad things and it make you better than everybody. He did the Straightedge pledge and said this moment is the beginning of a new day and said everyone will show their devotion to the SES and asked everyone if they were ready to give their lives to the SES. Like robots, they said yes and said let the healing begin. They played the cage lowering music and all three SES members shaved the recruits' heads. The crowd chanted 619 and Rey's music played and he came out.

Rey said the mass induction ceremony is ridiculous and said all three guys look silly. He said everyone will be laughing when they look like this and a picture was shown with a ball head on the Titan Tron. Punk was livid in the ring…[C]

Mind of Marv: Good to see Gallows and Serena get some time on the stick so it actually looks like they matter. The Bald headed Punk picture was a little hilarious, but if you been watching Punk wrestle for a while now, he had a bald head in the past. But I still expect Punk to win this match on Sunday…

[Q2] The show returned with Punk saying that Rey's act was cute and they gave him a preview on what they will do to him by beating up on the recruits. The WWE Rewind was Layla winning the Women's title and LayCool came out as the co-Women's champions…ugh. Kelly and Tiffany came out and did the Sarita and Taylor Wilde butt bump…

1. WWE Women's Champion Layla and Michelle McCool beat Kelly Kelly and Tiffany in 2:00. Kelly dominated the matchup early with a flying crossbody and Toffany attacked McCool. The babyfaces got advantage through the 1:30 mark until McCool buried Tiffany with the Faithbreaker…

JTG came out and the lame ass Dudebusters cut a corny promo saying that they bust dudes up…that didn't sound right for some odd reason…

[Q3] 2. JTG defeated Caylen Croft (w/ Trent Barreta) in 2:35. JTG had the early advantage and Crock hit a neckbreaker to JTG for a one count. Crock applied a headlock and JTG countered with instant offense and botched the Mugshot and hit the Shout Out for the quick win…

Mind of Marv: Throwaway matchup with two guys who get ZERO heat as singles wrestlers…

Backstage, Vickie was texting and Christian came out and said he is bringing back the Peep Show. Vickie said she wanted to be the first guest on the show and Christian said he would like to, but he wants people to watch the show. Christian said Vickie didn’t break the Top 100 as a guest and he showed video of who the Peeps wanted and it was Bret Hart, The Mountie, Brooklyn Brawler, Jared the Subway Guy, and Lester the guy who loves chicken…

Vickie asked who was number one and Christian said that his guest is someone he never see eye to eye…[C]


Mind of Marv: As you can see, I am NOT acknowledging McCool as a co-champion because I'm just a jerk like that, LOL. As usual, a forgettable matchup…

Backstage, Show cut a corny ass promo about Swagger's accomplishments and show video of Show knocking Swagger out and said that was many of his accomplishments…[C]

Hawkins and Archer got ZERO HEAT whatsoever…

3. Vance Archer and Curt Hawkins squashed some jobbers in 1:15. Hawkins hit a tilt-o-whirl slam and tagged in Archer. Archer hit a big boot and both heels dominated both jobbers. The both hit their finishers on the jobbers…

Mind of Marv: Is this Shotgun Saturday Night? Three…count 'em THREE throwaway matches in 40 minutes? Good God…

Hawkins said that they have 22 days to make an impact no matter if the crowd likes it or not…

Mind of Marv: I see future endeavored after 22 days for these guys who don't matter…

Big Show did another video about Swagger and video was shown of him chokeslamming Swagger and said that was one of his many accomplishments. Swagger was in the back and he was coming out for his match vs. Kingston, next…[C] [Q4]

Swagger said Show disrespected his accomplishments, the state Oklahoma and his daddy. But most importantly, he disrespected the world title and at OTL, he will disrespect him. He said he will retain the world title at OTL. Kingston came out and they showed video of the phony IC title win from last week. Drew McIntyre vs. Kofi Kingston is announced for the IC title for OTL…

4. Kofi Kingston defeated World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger in a non-title match in 11:45. Swagger got some shots in, but Kofi beat on Swagger and hit a baseball slide. Kofi clotheslined Swagger outside of the ring…[C]

The show returned with Kofi applying a armbar submission to Swagger and used the ropes to toss Swagger out. Swagger caught Kofi and threw him into the ringpost. Swagger worked on Kofi in the corner and Kofi got some blows in but Swagger came back. Kofi tried to hit a flying crossbody but Swagger countered with a big boot for a nearfall. Swagger got extra technical with a half Nelson on Kofi to work on his arm. Kofi hit a sunset flip to Swagger for a nearfall. Swagger hit a power slam and started to stomp on Kofi. Swagger continued to work on Kofi in the corner and slapped Kofi multiple times.

[Q5] Kofi hit a DDT to Swagger and hit some chops and a dropkick to Swagger. Kofi unleashed the SOS for the first time a long time for a nearfall. Kofi hit a side Russian leg sweep and went for the Boom Drop but was countered. Show came out and said that he had one last thing to tell him to distract him and Kofi hit a flying crossbody for the win. Show told Kofi good job and said that he had a Did You Know phrase and it said Kofi Just Beat you…

Mind of Marv: I'm starting to lose confidence in Swagger and I agree with Rich Twilling when it comes to champions losing non-title matches. Especially the way he lost the match is more disappointing. Swagger looks weak as a champion because if I'm not mistaken, this is his 3rd or 4th non-title match he has lost since becoming champion…

The last two matches was hyped and the Peep Show is next…[C]

Christian said welcome to the Peep Show and said it was great to be back on Smackdown and he said his guest never see eye to eye and little you know, Hornswoggle comes out, sigh. Let this is some kind of surprise…

Horny start to strut with the DX Gear and Christian said that the Peeps wanted to see the DX chop. Christian said that they are on SD, trying to get in trouble and making an impression. Christian said he will teach him to speak some Canadian and Christian said "Take off eh", "Yo Hoser", and "Hockey" and Christian said this was the most important on…Beer. Vickie came out and did her usual Excuse Me line to get cheap heat with the gopher Chavo. Vickie said that she is shutting down the Peep Show and bitched about Horny being the number one guest. She called Canada useless and Christian said some other words that he will teach him were obesity and moose.

[Q6] Chavo defended Vickie and said Christian must leave or she will have someone to get him out. Dolph Ziggler came out and attack Christian with a Zig Zag with the Chavo distraction. Chavo hit a frog splash to Christian…

Mind of Marv: You every thought about crying because this show has been so horribly bad? This had to be the worst Peep Show ever but I guess they are trying to put heat on Ziggler, so Vickie could do that…but remember the last guy who needed Vickie for some heat….got future endeavored…what was his name again? Oh yeah, ESCOBAR…

MVP and Rey was coming for their match, next…[C]

5. MVP and Rey Mysterio defeated the Straight Edge Society in 10:30. MVP and Gallows started the matchup. Gallows had the advantage early until the faces double teamed on gallows for numerous nearfalls. MVP hit a big boot to Gallows for a nearfall. Serena distracted MVP and Gallows pulled him off the ropes…[C] [Q7]

The show returned with Punk working on MVP's back and the heels worked on MVP in the corner. Punk went for a knee to Punk but MVP blocked it. MVP tried to tag Rey, but the heels continued the attack on MVP. MVP tagged in Rey hit a flying crossbody to Gallows for a nearfall. Rey hit a bulldog to Gallows for a nearfall. Punk hit flying clothesline after his tagged in Gallows because he was setup for the 619. MVP knocked Gallows out and tried the 619 but the masked man popped out and Mysterio knocked him out. Punk tried to take advantage, but Rey rolled Punk up for the win. And the picture of Punk being bald was shown again…

Mind of Marv: This was a OK match but why is MVP being wasted in tag team matches? Put hit him in a meaningful program…

Mathews interviewed McIntyre and asked him does he deserve the championship. Drew said Matt Hardy deserved the beating and Long deserved to look silly but having his authority taken from him.

Kofi said he wanted he IC belt back. Show vs. Drew is next…[C]

[Q8] The Cena and Batista feud was shown and the OTL card was ran down and Big Show came to the ring…[C]

6. Big Show beat Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre by disqualification in 3:49. Show started by beating the hell out of Show and tried to run away but Show caught him and threw him back in the ring. Drew got some offense in but Show continued the attack on Drew with chops to his chest. The crowd asked for one more chop but Drew hit a thumb to Show's eyes and Show continued to beat the hell out of Drew. Drew hit a hangman on Show and went for the Future Shock but Show dominated with offense and hit a choke slam. Swagger interfered and caused the DQ…
Swagger stomped Show's hand and tried to grab a chair but Show punched the chair out of his hand and Swagger ran off…

Mind of Marv: This concludes WWE Forgettable Theater, please exit the building with a look of disgust on your face. This show was horrible from top to bottom and for it to be a go-home show, I saw nothing that stood out. Chris Shore will have honor of presenting his feelings on the show with the Hitlist tomorrow…

As always, send all feedback to mr.hermanstyne@gmail.com and see you next week.
