Don't you love it? People go on about how bad we are so bad and stuff, yet we're top of the fair play league!

Where did Man Utd finish then?

Saturday 22nd May 2004

Announcers: Josh Matthews and Bill DeMott

Matthews: Hey everyone! Velocity is just about to get underway, and we haven’t even introduced ourselves! I’m Josh Matthews and my big announce partner is Bill DeMott. Come on Bill that was a good intro!

DeMott: ‘Big’ announce partner? You saying I’m fat man?

Matthews: Of course not Bill! We’ve got a big main event lined up tonight, and that is the veteran duo of Hardcore Holly and Billy Gunn teaming up against the most dangerous team, quite possibly in WWE history, the Dudley Boyz!

DeMott: The Dudleyz, coming off a big defeat at Judgment Day went on to SmackDown and took part in that assault that was the main event.

Matthews: But that’s later, right now we have Paul London taking on a young man by the name of Joey Ryan.

Paul London vs. Joey Ryan

London started off quickly after a lock-up, and took Ryan down with a backdrop. Ryan recovered, but London put him back down onto the mat after a high dropkick. London dominated for much of the match, but Ryan did have a moment or two where he dominated. He even scored a near fall after a moonsault, but London kicked out after two. London then took control, and after a blockbuster suplex, scored the pin.

Winner: Paul London

Matthews: Big win there for Paul London. Joey Ryan was quite impressive don’t you think?

DeMott: He did good Josh in this, his shot at the big time. Appearing on Velocity; doesn’t get any better than that now does it?

Matthews: No way Bill, when you appear on Velocity; you know that there’s no higher place in wrestling!

Commercial Break

A video aired for a tall Japanese man with long black hair. It showed him taking people out with body tackles and clotheslines and also showed him doing shadow martial arts. The video then faded to black with the words: “Coming Soon” at the end.

Matthews: Well, whoever that guy is, he looks big and dangerous! I wonder who he is?

DeMott: Big, strong and dangerous from what I’m told. I don’t have a name, but I’ve been told when he arrives, he’ll run roughshod through the SmackDown roster!

Matthews: Where do you get your information from Bill?

DeMott: I get it from the guys and girls in makeup. Their information has yet to fail me.

“The Reflection of Perfection” Mark Jindrak w/ Theodore Long vs. Shannon Moore

The man “with the face of a god and the body of Adonis” was all over Shannon Moore from the get go. Moore was barely able to mount any sort of offence at all, and even when he did, Jindrak seemed to barely feel it. Moore connected with a dropkick, knocking Jindrak to his knees momentarily, but as soon as Moore tried to capitalise on it, Jindrak took him out with a big clothesline. Jindrak called for it, and hit the Mark of Perfection and picked up the victory.

Winner: Mark Jindrak

Theodore Long jumped into the ring and raised Jindrak’s hand, and kept saying ‘belee dat’.

Commercial Break

A video played to hype the upcoming mixed-tag team match on SmackDown that will pit Rene Dupree and Dawn Marie against John Cena and Torrie Wilson. It showed highlights of the Judgment Day clash between Dupree and Cena for the United States title. It also showed Dupree interviewing Torrie on his interview segment, Café de Rene, and then shows Dupree powerbombing Cena through the announce table to the concrete floor. Amongst this, it shows Torrie defeating Dawn Marie at Judgment Day after Angle stating she’d be fired if she was to lose.

81%

Matthews: The stakes are high this coming Thursday as the United States champion John Cena and Torrie Wilson face ‘the French Phenom’ Rene Dupree and Dawn Marie. Bill, this feud between Cena and Dupree is getting worse as the weeks go on, how do you see this ending?

DeMott: Well Josh; in my opinion it’s only a matter of time before Rene Dupree takes the US title from John Cena. Dupree has built up a lot of momentum since joining SmackDown from RAW, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him wearing gold any time soon.

Matthews: Could very well happen. Someone else who is desperate to get his hands on some gold is John “Bradshaw” Layfield. He faced Eddie Guerrero at Judgment Day, and what happened that night was a total and utter blood bath, take a look.

Clips of the Judgment Day main event match between Eddie Guerrero and John “Bradshaw” Layfield were shown. It showed Eddie bleeding buckets after JBL’s chairshot, and showed Eddie getting himself disqualified after using the WWE championship belt to hit Bradshaw in the face. The video package closed out after showing the bloodstained ring.

The Dudley Boyz vs. Hardcore Holly and Billy Gunn

The men who challenged for the Tag Team titles at Judgment Day were the strong fan favourites and came out fighting. The veteran team of Bubba and D-Von had a lot of momentum coming into this match after destroying Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio on SmackDown, and started off strongly against the veteran duo. Holly and Gunn delivered stereo-dropkicks to Bubba and D-Von, and really got the crowd going from that point. Billy hit the One and Only on D-Von, but the cover only managed a two. He tagged out to Hardcore Holly, but Bubba came from behind with a forearm shot to the back off the head, distracting the referee and allowing D-Von to low-blow Hardcore. He then managed to tag in Bubba, and with Billy pleading his case to the referee the Dudleyz hit the wassupp! The Dudleyz then dominated, making quick regular tags and keeping Hardcore Holly isolated. But as soon as D-Von whipped Hardcore to the ropes, Hardcore pulled out one last dropkick from deep down. With both men down, Bubba and Billy Gunn were desperate to get into the ring. Both men got the tag, and Billy cleaned house on both the Dudleyz! Billy signalled for the Fame Asser on Bubba…but came off the ropes right into a 3D! Hardcore was in a heap on the outside, and was unable to stop Bubba from making the 1…2…3!

Winners: the Dudley Boyz

The referee went to raise the Dudleyz hands, but they refused, went outside and brought in a table! They lay Billy Gunn on one table…and hit the 3D on Hardcore through it! Much like SmackDown, the Dudleyz stood victorious over the fallen opponents as Velocity went off the air.

Overall Rating: 59%

TV Rating: 4.45

Just a little note, Velocity will always be much shorter than SmackDown for the simple reason that it's the B-show. If anything relating to storylines etc happens, it'll be longer than the rest.

Keown gave all the money away IIRC. Much like Niall Quinn a few years ago. They both gave it to a charity. Can't remember which one

Blame TMM, he was supposed to have editted the data

Good show Monkey, just to let you know i won't be doing the Raw that happened after Judgement Day, i'm doing my own.

←

Oops...my bad. I knew I'd forget something. I spent ages going through it to make sure everything was alright and sorted out, but I forget Matt, Rhyno and Tajiri. Typical...Just use the editor to fix the alignments. I hardly doubt anyone would mind would they?

20th May 2004

Announcers: Michael Cole and Tazz

Cole: Hello everyone and welcome to SmackDown! Tonight will be the fallout from one of the greatest PPV’s I can recall seeing. I’m alongside Tazz as usual, and Tazz, what did you think about Sunday night’s Judgment Day?

Tazz: Ah man it was one hell of a show! No doubt man, no doubt. The main event gave me nightmares. I couldn’t even sleep after it! I kept seeing Eddie Guerrero’s bloody face.

Cole: I know what you mean partner. Tonight we have a triple-threat match for the Cruiserweight title; it will be Chavo Guerrero defending the title against the woman who was screwed out of the title at Judgment Day; Jacqueline, and get this, the third person will be Chavo’s father, Chavo Guerrero Sr.! How is that fair?

Tazz: Hey hey hey Cole, it’s Chavo Classic! You gotta show respect to the man!

Cole: It’s essentially 2-on-one though! In any event, we’ve also got the WWE Tag Team champions Rico and Charlie Haas facing Akio and Sakoda in a non-title match.

Tazz: The extremely strange duo of Haas and Rico beat the seasoned veterans Hardcore Holly and Billy Gunn last night, so I think they’ve proved that although they don’t…how should I put this…get along, they are a great tag team.

Cole: Well last night Eddie Guerrero was busted open at the hands of John “Bradshaw” Layfield, and the WWE champion required 16 stitches to close the gapping wound on his forehead. Eddie left blood all over Los Angeles, and is not expected to be here…wait a minute! It’s Eddie!

Eddie came out to a huge ovation, and hand a bandage covering his forehead. Eddie was walking out for once, and was certainly not in a good mood.

Eddie: Hold up everyone. I’m out here tonight, because I am challenging John “Bradshaw” Layfield to a rematch tonight! You know, at Judgment Day, I bled. He bled. Hell, I bled a hell of a lot, but I never gave up. I had to have 16 stitches in my forehead to close the canyon in my forehead! But you know what? I kept on going holmes! I never stopped, I gave everything I had that night, but you know something; I didn’t give everything that I had. I mean, Sunday night I thought I was so focused man. I thought I knew what I was doing, but no man, no I didn’t. I was driven by rage, I was driven by hatred, I was driven by my Latino Heat! But I was driving. Oh no, I wasn’t in control, and that was why I nearly lost my WWE championship. I didn’t, but I damn sure could have. The rage took over inside me, and I picked up that WWE title and smashed John “Bradshaw” Layfield in the head with it! I got disqualified…but I wasn’t finished! I wanted him to suffer the same amount of pain that I and me entire familia suffered when he…when he touched my mother holmes! He could’ve killed her, and that thought made me want to kill him in return! So tonight JBL…I want you in this ring! Get out here now and give me my answer!

Cole: Eddie, I’m not sure if this is such a good idea! You’re nowhere near 100%.

Tazz: You got that right Cole; I don’t think he would stand a chance against Bradshaw if he faced him tonight.

Cole: Well I guess Eddie is going to get his answer; here comes John “Bradshaw” Layfield!

JBL made his way out onto the entrance ramp, decked out in his suit and cowboy hat, and was greeted by a chorus of boos from the crowd.

JBL: Ok Eddie, I’ll give you one thing; you would have lost the WWE title to me if you didn’t have to cheat and hit me in the face with it! See, that’s what people like you do. They cheat. Whether it’s cheating the system for benefits, cheating the system to get into our great country, or just plain old cheating to win, that’s what you do. But then there are people like me, people who fight to keep this great country the way it is. So Eddie, I accept your challenge! And I would like to announce to each and every one of you poor people in this arena, that after tonight, you shall be looking at the new WWE champion! Thank you!

84%

Cole: Oh no, Eddie Guerrero is in big trouble tonight…oh my; what now?

Tazz: That’s our General Manager, Kurt Angle!

Kurt Angle was wheeled out onto the stage by Luther, and then shook hands with John “Bradshaw” Layfield.

Angle: What the hell are you doing here tonight Eddie? Huh? I gave you the night off! I know what you might do tonight, and I know that you have not been medically cleared to be here tonight. So what I am saying is, there will be no rematch for the WWE championship tonight.

Crowd starts to boo Angle, as both Eddie Guerrero and JBL look shocked at Angle’s announcement.

Angle: But hold on a minute. Mr. Layfield, I know what you went through last night. I saw Eddie Guerrero cheat his way out of the match in which you, someone America can be proud of; you should’ve won the title. So I am giving you your rematch, but not tonight. Your rematch will take place at the next SmackDown-exclusive PPV, which is next month! Now this is the official announcement, as next month, June 13th, the Great American Bash! Now I think that is a fitting name for a PPV where a true American hero will challenge for the title. Now, as for you Eddie, I would like you to leave this ring, and leave this arena right now, as you have the night off!

Eddie: No way holmes! I am not leaving this ring until I get my hands on that piece of ****!

Angle: Don’t you dare swear on my show Eddie! Don’t you dare! Now, you can refuse my offer of a night off that is up to you. But if you DO refuse it, I will suspend you indefinitely, and strip you of you WWE championship and award it to Mr. Layfield! Now, what is your answer?

Eddie: …fine Angle you win tonight. I’m a champion of the people, and I can guarantee that not one of these fans wants to see that walking pile of dog crap with this title! So, I will leave, but mark my words, next week Bradshaw; next week you’re mine!

Eddie Guerrero dropped his microphone and walked down the side of the rampway and to the back, as Luther wheeled Kurt Angle to the back.

Charlie Haas and Rico w/ Miss Jackie vs. Akio and Sakoda

Akio and Sakoda came out to a near-silent reaction, but Haas, Rico and Miss Jackie got a good pop upon their entrance. Rico and Haas are beginning to work very well as a team, but that may be because when Haas is in there, he seems to forget about Rico’s ‘antics’. Rico and Akio locked up, but Rico put an ended to that by going behind him and grabbing his behind! Akio looked terrified, and ran to the ropes and came back with a spinning kick to the face. Akio and Sakado isolated Rico for a time, but Rico managed to block a superplex from Sakado by groping his groin! Rico came off the top rope with a martial arts kick. Rico got the hot tag to Haas who cleaned house, and soon locked Sakoda in the Haas of Pain, leaving Sakoda no choice but to submit to the painful hold!

Miss Jackie jumped into the ring and hugged Haas who certainly enjoyed it! Rico then got in on it and literally jumped into Charlie Haas’ arms! Charlie looked horrified, but couldn’t really do anything about it.

Cole: Charlie Haas looks absolutely petrified out there with Rico in his arms!

Tazz: Can you blame him? Rico has tried to kiss him before you know!

Cole: He didn’t just try, he did kiss him! But did you see how happy Haas was when Miss Jackie hugged him?

Tazz: Well, duh! Look at her Cole! I know you don’t really swing that way, but she’s hot!

Cole: Well, whatever Tazz. We’re going backstage now, where Booker T is with Funaki!

Tazz: Oh this should be fun…

Funaki: This is, Funaki, SmackDown, numbah one, announcer! I’m here with Booka T. Booka, Sunday night you lost to the Undertaker, even with the help of, Mama Shangrie, what do you have to say?

Booker: What do I say? Huh Funaki? You’re asking me what I have to say about Judgment Day? Well I’m going to say right now, that Mama Shangrie was a total hoax! Yeah, you heard me. I did a little research, and man, I found out that she’s been pulling this crap on people for years. On innocent people like me! I spent $1000 on her! Man, I’m done with this voodoo crap. Undertaker, I’m gonna take you down once and for all. I was speaking with Kurt Angle earlier tonight, and he’s granted a match. Me versus you at the Great American Bash next month! That’s right Dead Man, you and me once again! You better get your dead ass ready, coz I’m coming for it!

Booker T vs. Billy Kidman

Kidman made his way out first to a pretty good response, and was then followed out by Booker T who was still carrying that bag. But it soon all became clear, as he opened the bag and threw all the mud and things into the crowd before running into the ring. Booker went to work on Kidman, and laid a beating on the former Cruiserweight champion. Kidman fought out of the Book End by elbowing Booker in the mouth, and slowly attempted to mount a comeback. But Booker cut him off, and delivered the Axe Kick to end the match.

Winner: Booker T

Booker left the ring, but then turned around and returned to deliver the Book End to a helpless Billy Kidman. Booker then went to leave a second time, but decided against it and set Kidman up for a second Book End…but was cut off when the lights went out, and the Undertaker’s music began! The music stopped, and the lights soon came back on, and Booker looked scared. He dropped Billy Kidman, and quickly headed to the back.

Cole: Woah, the Undertaker just send a message to Booker T; don’t mess with the big dog!

Tazz: No doubt. But if Mama Shangrie can’t help Booker, who can?

Cole: Oh I don’t know, maybe Booker T could try and beat him fair and square in a match?

Tazz: Why would he want to do that?

Cole: …well, here comes Rikishi. At Judgment Day, Rikishi’s tag team partner Scotty 2 Hotty was decimated by the debuting Mordecai. That guy is creepy. Totally decked out in white, white hair, white beard, he creeps me out.

Rikishi: I’m out here to challenge that Mordecai guy to a match. At Judgment Day, he injured my friend, Scotty 2 Hotty. He took it to far, and now I’m going to pay Mordecai back. So get out here newcomer, and let a veteran show you how it’s done.

Rikishi threw down his mic, as the lights went out and Mordecai made his entrance, a very impressive entrance at that.

Mordecai vs. Rikishi

Mordecai just stood nose to nose with the big Samoan Rikishi. Mordecai had no expression his face, as Rikishi talked trash to him. Rikishi struck first and tried to take Mordecai down, but he soon fell victim to Mordecai’s stiff punches. Cole made a comment about how Mordecai doesn’t seem to feel pain, and whoever does beat him, it would be a huge accomplishment. Mordecai had a bit more trouble with Rikishi than he did with Scotty, but he still dominated. Rikishi delivered a superkick to him, but he just stepped back a bit! Rikishi aimed another kick, but Mordecai grabbed his leg, spun him around and set him up for a powerbomb! He wowed the crowds with great strength, and hit a modified Razor’s Edge that Michael Cole called the Crucifix! Mordecai made the academic pin, and scored the win over Rikishi.

Winner: Mordecai

Cole: Welcome back everyone, we just saw Rikishi try to get some retribution on Mordecai for injuring his friend Scotty 2 Hotty, but Mordecai destroyed him in the end.

Tazz: This Mordecai guy is frighteningly powerful. Rikishi is about 400lbs, and he lifted him up with ease!

Cole: I’ve just been told that next week on SmackDown, it’ll be Rene Dupree teaming up with Dawn Marie to take on the WWE US champion John Cena and Torrie Wilson. What a match that could be!

Tazz: No doubt Cole, no doubt. But our General Manager hasn’t explained why he made Torrie’s match at Judgment Day into what he did?

Cole: He said that if Torrie lost she’d be fired. I don’t know Tazz, but hopefully we’ll get some answers next week. Right now it’s time for the Cruiserweight title match. Chavo Guerrero regained his title when he cheated to beat Jacqueline for it at Judgment Day. So tonight, it’s going to be a triple-threat between Chavo Guerrero, Jacqueline…and Chavo Guerrero Sr.!

--WWE Cruiserweight title--

Jacqueline vs. Chavo Classic vs. Chavo Guerrero ©

Jacqueline was the out first to little reaction, and then Chavo and Chavo came out together to a chorus of boos. Both Chavo’s double-teamed Jacqueline, and made quick work of the former Women’s and Cruiserweight champion by hitting a double brainbuster, allowing Chavo Guerrero to make the pin.

Both Chavo’s then kicked Jacqueline out of the ring, as the Cruiserweight champion picked up a microphone.

Chavo: I’ve had enough of you Jacky! I want you out of this ring. Go back to RAW, you’re not wanted here! I’m laying out an open challenge for next week on SmackDown. Any Cruiserweight, all you have to do is turn up. I’ll be in the ring, and all you have to do is come out. No women. Women don’t belong in the ring! They should just be there for eye candy. So, have I made myself clear? I think I’ve made myself clear haven’t I dad? Good. Next week then it begins; Chavo…vs. the world!

Tazz: See Cole? I told you Jacqueline was a fluke, and that she didn’t have a real chance against Chavo Guerrero.

Cole: I don’t see how that was fair Tazz. She was doublet-teamed from the get go!

Tazz: Well, if you want to complain about it, complain to our General Manager Kurt Angle! Not me! Anyway, as Chavo said, Jacqueline has no place in the ring with a guy like Chavo. She could get hurt easily.

Cole: How can you condone what the Chavo’s did to her just now? And I can’t believe what you said! Equal opportunity Tazz; the WWE women have shown time and time again that they can compete with the men.

Tazz: Don’t get your knickers in a twist Cole! It was a match; a match which Jacky agreed to! You’ve gotta believe she understood the risks going into the match, so she has nobody to blame but herself!

Cole: Well, I don’t agree with you Tazz one bit, but we can’t bicker like this, as Josh Matthews is standing by with Paul Heyman and the Dudley Boyz.

Matthews: Thank you guys. Mr. Heyman, I was wondering, as are many of the SmackDown fans as to what your relationship with the Dudley Boyz is?

Heyman: Well Josh, my ‘relationship’ with the Dudley Boyz is that we respect one another. You see, while they were over on ‘RAW is Snore’, they weren’t treated like they should be. They were shackled by Eric Bischoff into being watered down versions of themselves. Tell me Josh; when was the last time you can remember seeing Bubba Ray and D-Von putting somebody through a table?

Matthews: Well I…

Heyman: Exactly, you can’t. But I’ve taken them back under my wing. Under the guidance of Paul Heyman, the Dudley Boyz will return to former glory. They will be the vicious sons of bitches that they once were! Oh and Josh, I can guarantee that this show will not go off the air before somebody eats wood!

67%

Cole: That sounded an awful lot like a threat Tazz.

Tazz: Um…unfortunately I have to agree with you. Either RVD or Rey Rey will eat some wood tonight! I just hope it isn’t our table…

Cole: Me too partner. Anyway, here comes the Dudley Boyz accompanied by Paul Heyman! They look as focused as ever and…wait a minute; Paul Heyman is coming to join us on commentary!

Tazz: Hi there Paul! Wassup man? What you doing here?

Heyman: I’m good Tazz, I’m out here to see the Dudleyz and JBL destroy that ungrateful waste of space Rob Van Dam and that little mosquito Rey Mysterio!

Cole: Paul…

Heyman: Ahem, it’s Mr. Heyman to you Michael Cole.

Cole: …Mr. Heyman, you said that someone would taste wood tonight; do they Dudleyz have a target? Or could it be anyone?

Heyman: Well Michael, you’ll just have to wait and see won’t you?

John “Bradshaw” Layfield and the Dudley Boyz w/ Paul Heyman vs. Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Dam

SmackDown returns to see the match in progress, as D-Von is in the ring with Rey Mysterio. D-Von is laying into Mysterio with rights and lefts, and takes him into the corner, before laying him out with a clothesline. D-Von makes the tag to his ‘brother’ Bubba, who continues right where he left off. Bubba was vicious enough that even Michael Cole had to agree that the Dudleyz seemed to be reverting to their ECW roots. Bubba whipped Rey to the ropes, but Rey flew over Bubba, hit the far rope and nailed Bubba Ray in the back of the head with a dropkick! Both men were down, and the referee reached a count of 8 before both men got to their feet and exchanged blows that eventually saw Rey laying him out with a enziguri and tagging in RVD! RVD cleaned house, laying out both Dudleyz with clotheslines, and taking down JBL with a kick to the jaw. Van Dam then delivered Rolling Thunder to D-Von Dudley before Bubba threw him outside and tagged in Bradshaw. The big hoss entered the ring, but was met by Rey Mysterio coming off the top rope with a cross body! Rey got a near fall, and then tried to hit hard and fast on JBL, but eventually his speed failed against JBL’s strength when he tasted Bradshaw’s $1000 leather boots in his mouth! Bradshaw signalled for the Stock Market Crash (Fallaway Slam). He went to nail the move, but Mysterio wriggled out of the back and ran to the ropes…but Bradshaw laid him out with the Clothesline from Hell!! JBL covered Mysterio, but pulled back the trousers as well…1…2…3! JBL steals another one!

Cole: Oh my god! Van Dam’s face just bounced off the guardrail! What is D-Von doing? Oh no…

Heyman: Tables! I told you Cole; someone will taste the wood before SmackDown goes off the air!

Cole: My god…they’ve put Mysterio on the table, and have RVD…

Heyman: 3D!!! The Dudley Death Drop! RVD…through Rey Mysterio…to the mat! Oh this is brilliant.

Tazz: Well if there was ever any doubt before, there is none now; the Dudley Boyz are back to their best!

SmackDown went off the air with the Dudley Boyz starring a hole right through the broken bodies of Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Dam, as John “Bradshaw” Layfield just stands there laughing.

SmackDown! preview for Thursday 20th May 2004

Coming off the huge Judgment Day PPV this past Sunday, SmackDown has a lot of unanswered questions.

First; can Eddie Guerrero actually defeat John "Bradshaw" Layfield? Afterall, the match ended in a disqualification after Eddie blasted JBL in the head with his WWE championship. Eddie Guerrero needed 16 stitches to close the gash in his head, so he will probably be out for revenge, and having said that, JBL may well be out for some revenge of his own, seen as his title shot was cut short.

Second question; why did Kurt Angle add a stipulation to the Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie match at Judgment Day? He said that if Torrie were to lose, she'd be fired from SmackDown. Thankfully, Torrie picked up the win, but Angle gave no explaination for his actions.

Thirdly; what is next for Mordecai? He debuted at Judgment Day in spectacular fashion by destroying Scotty 2 Hotty. Scotty's tag partner Rikishi is said to not be very pleased about how it happened, and is expected to be at SmackDown this Thursday to confront Mordecai.

Also, hot off their succesful title defence, the WWE Tag Team champions Rico and Charlie Haas will take on the dangerous Japanese duo of Akio and Sakoda in a non-title match. Kyo Dai have been left in limbo since Tajiri joined RAW as part of the roster shake-up the week after WrestleMania XX, and will be looking to put themselves on the wrestling map again by defeating the Tag Team champions.

Chavo Guerrero won his coveted Crusierweight title back Sunday night, and is set to defend it on SmackDown against Jacqueline...and his father Chavo Classic in a triple-threat! This has 'double-team' written all over it, but Jacqueline accepted this match and is willing to take part! Can she cause yet ANOTHER huge upset by winning the Cruiserweight title for a second time?

All these questions will hopefully be answered on SmackDown, tune in to find out!

SmackDown should be up in a bit...

Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Dam defeat the Dudley Boyz

The Dudleyz were defeated by the make-shift team of Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Dam when they each hit a Dudley with the 619, and RVD followed it up with a Five Star Frog Splash to D-Von to pick up the win.

Before the next match, Kurt Angle came out and informed Torrie that if she were to lose, she would be fired!

Torrie Wilson defeated Dawn Marie

In a close fought match, Torrie managed to pick up the victory with a backslide, allowing Torrie to keep her job with SmackDown!

Mordecai defeated Scotty 2 Hotty

Mordecai was hyped and hyped, and he certainly didn't fail to impress as he entered the ring and went on to squash the former Tag Team champion, and picked up with win after hitting a modified Razor's Edge, dubbed the Crucifix.

--WWE Tag Team championship--

Rico and Charlie Haas retained against Billy gunn and Hardcore Holly

Rico did his usual antics in this match, really getting under the skins of Holly and Gunn in the process. Haas scored the pinfall after a superkick from Rico to Hardcore Holly allowed him to make the pin.

--WWE Cruiserweight championship

Chavo Guerrero defeated Jacqueline to become the new champion

Chavo had one hand tied behind his back, but with the help of Chavo Classic untying him, he was able to hit a Gory Bomb for the victory.

--WWE United States championship--

John Cena retained against Rene Dupree

Cena successfully defended his US title against the 'French Phenom', and scored the victory after he delivered the FU.

The Undertaker defeated Booker T

Mama Shangrie's voodoo powers seemed to have no effect on the outcome of this match. Although Booker has been carrying around that bag full of different items, and claims it will help him defeat the Deadman, Undertaker took the pinfall victory after a Tombstone Piledriver.

--WWE Championship

John "Bradshaw" Layfield defeated Eddie Guerrero via DQ, Eddie retains the title

JBL guaranteed victory before the match, and proved to be a man of his word, although the victory wasn't quite what he expected. Weeks of animosity between these two men came to a head, and Eddie Guerrero paid the price by bleeding all over the ring. There was blood everywhere, but Bradshaw bled as well. Eddie's emotions got the better of him, as he laid out John "Bradshaw" Layfield with the title belt, causing a disqualification. Eddie wasn't finished, and beat down JBL before giving him the Frog Splash.

Coming off of Judgment Day, a huge task awaits the writers. Many have called SmackDown the weeker show; some have called it inferior, and many have claimed that WWE officials don't care about it at all.

The fact that some of the storylines make little or no sense, or have been redone could be a big indication of this.

Is Judgment Day the turning point for SmackDown? Or will the next SmackDown be another in a long line of disappointments for the fans?

A side-note about the backstory. I don't like doing backstories, and neither me nor IAceI saw any need for one. So I just posted the Judgment Day report with a little paragraph.

SmackDown roster up next.

You can only have one assistant.

Mind you, on an old CM game I have managed to have two (via a glitch) and one of them was actually manager at another club!

Holy crap Mudda! That's a class team. Okocha seems to be doing absolutley brilliant for you. A great front line aswell. I gotta say though, your defence does look a little weak.

That's Keown's greatest attribute. He puts his own goal first, and defends it at all costs. He would gladly suffer a broken bone if it meant that the opposition wouldn't get a goal. It's a shame that he is the last player like that, there is nobody around who is anything like him any more.

Did I care AT ALL about the UEFA Cup Final?!?!?!?

Nope.

Second and third division playoff second legs were pretty thrilling though!

Lower division footy > European footy with no English teams involved

←

No truer words have been spoken...today anyway

I didn't even know the UEFA cup final was on tonight until about 15 minutes before kick off!

I gettit! But he looks nothing like Skeletore though...

But he definetly looks like Kryten! That's great!

Yay! Pierce Brosnan is still rocking on as 007! Thank god, he's great in the role, and at the moment I don't think anyone else could fill the role well enough.

Am I the only one who thinks we should sell Skeletore?

←

Skeletore? Who's Skeletore? Help...

Morientes...not needed IMO. He's good, but we don't really need the guy if you ask me.

Shocking that Valencia won isn't it?

I had a feeling Marseille would get nowhere near winning. I didn't watch the match, but seen as Barthez got sent off, I'd have to assume they didn't do much.

The Who - The most influential band still (sorta) going today. While they have lost two members, they are still going. They've wrote some of the best material ever, they make some of the best music ever, and they're live performances are simply amazing. And the ammount of bands I recall saying they've influenced them is quite long.

I had the cheesy grin throughout as well. It seemed like such a fun atmosphere, I wish I had actually gone.

But alas, I'm already planning for Dennis Bergkamp's testimonial. It hasn't been announced yet, but he'll have been with us for 10 years at the end of next season, so one would have to assume he'll have one.

How is Man Utd going to fit Saha, RVD and Smith into the starting lineup? Does this mean Saha or Smith is going to be benched? Or is Van Nistelrooy going to be sold?

Ha...you said RVD when you meant RVN !

That's only three strikers. Seen as Fergie has lost all hope with Forlan seemingly, and the fact that Ole Solskjaer is probably off, you won't really have enough. Three strikers is an ok ammount, but if one of them get's injured or suspended, you're fucked.

Smith would probably be the one who sits on the bench, as he isn't as talented as Saha, and isn't as good at marking the 'keeper...um, scoring as Van Nistelrooy.

Rob Zombie - Go To California

The biggest problem with Heskey is, when he plays well he plays very well. It's been said time and time again; Heskey relies on people telling him he's good.

If people don't show confidence in him, he plays crap. I think Heskey isn't to bad of a player, but he needs to learn how to use his feet and stay on them

No, its annoyingly blurry.

Shhhh....not much I can do about that, which is annoying. When i saved it, it was blurry. Awkward...

Same here.

I love my little sig...don't you love my sig?

PALACE!!!! Hell yeah! 2-1, extra-time here they come!

* If you're wondering why I'm supporting Palace here, it's because they're my local/second team.

Crystal Palace 0-2 Sunderland (Sunderland lead 4-3 on agg)

It's the only play-off going on tonight, so it's the only one I'd mention.

Come on Palace! You can do it!

I reckon Palace will play Ipswich in the final, I still have hope for Palace.
