Harley Lewis vs. Sylvan Grenier

Harley Lewis looked pretty much unstoppable with his array of old school power moves. He wrestled a good match making the former tag champ look like no match. He hit his Piledriver to end the match at about 6:04.

SMACKDOWN!

Singles Match

Psicosis vs. Paul London

The two were already in the ring going at it before the pyros shot off for the beginning of Smackdown! You could see a sense of anger in Paul London’s eye that you had never seen before. He went right to work with a bunch of hard falling suplexes. He jumped up to the second rope with his arm firmly around Psicosis’s head and he hit the second rope Tornado DDT. This match could’ve been over right here, but he wasn’t done. He picked Psicosis up again and hit multiple northern lights suplexes in a row. He was about to finish him off with a flying frog cross body until Juventud pulled down the top rope and made London fall backwards onto the steel steps (incredibly sick bump). Super Crazy hit a legdrop onto the Steel Steps. Then they let London try to crawl back into the ring. Psicosis was already ready for him and he hit a guillotine leg drop right across the throat of London. The ref just counted 1…2…3 and the match was over just like that. Juvi and Super Crazy hit the ring to inflict more damage upon London until Mysterio and Scotty 2 Hotty hit the ring from the crowd and came in and saved London with a pair of springboard drop kicks. Scotty 2 Hotty hit the worm on Super Crazy while Mysterio hit his 619/West Coast Pop combo on Juvi. Then they did a few double team moves on Psicosis. London was finally up again and the three raised eachother’s hands as they stood triumphant over the fallen Mexicools.

74/63/85

All the lights turn off, and the titantron shows a video of a man standing in the graveyard. It’s the Undertaker, except he looks a little different. He has his old school hat and gloves on and looks much darker than normal. It shows the Undertaker putting the finishing touches on a grave labeled “Randy Orton”. Finally he speaks “Randy Orton is 6 feet under and sleeping with the maggots tonight.” He rolls his eyes to the back of his head and then speaks again, “Randy Orton, if you ever come back to Smackdown! I will make it my only goal to bury you…alive.” He put his head down and posed for what was an eerie shot.

89

Singles Match

Heidenreich vs. Johnny Nitro

Heidenreich went right to work on Nitro, no-selling all of Nitro’s blows. Finally he just grabbed Nitro’s fist and gave him a devastating looking uppercut. A few body slams and power slams later Melina got up onto the ring and started seducing the referee. This allowed Mercury to clock Heidenreich over the head with a steel chair which lead him right into Nitro who lifted him up and Mercury completed the snapshot right onto the chair. Mercury took the chair with him as he left the ring leaving no trace of evidence. 1…2…3. Heidenreich was out cold, then Animal came in too, to try to save Heidenreich, but Mercury jumped out from behind the barricade and hit the chair over Animal’s head too. They did the snap shot onto the outside to Animal. Nitro and Mercury posed on the outside as Melina grabbed a mic.

Next we cut backstage with JBL drinking a beer for old-times sakes backstage when Orlando Jordan showed up. JBL started to talk “Orlando, I hope they’re no hard—”

Orlando just stared a hole through him until he unloaded with a bunch of punches right to JBL’s face. He took the beer and smashed it over JBL’s head leaving him a bloody mess. Then he grabbed a mic, “John Bradshaw Layfield, I am going to make your life HELL.”

Singles Match

Chris Benoit vs. Simon Dean

Simon Dean started talking about how Benoit just doesn’t have the endurance to last more than 25 seconds in a match when Benoit came out in a rage of hard slaps across the chest. He threw Dean against the ropes and hit a huge back body drop. After a German Suplex he went up top and hit his flying headbutt. He covered Dean who kicked out at two. Then he turned him over and locked in the Crippler’s Crossface and that was all she wrote. The official time? Thirty Seconds.

77/71/84

Benoit: First of all, the thing is I don’t need to last much more than 25 seconds. I’m that damn good, that I can finish my opponents off in that little of time. I might’ve lost my magic. I just don’t beat em like I used to. I just can’t seem to get them in less than 24 seconds. I think what I really need though is to face another whiner like Orlando Jordan. Another man who you can hardly even call a man. What I need to do is face someone like…Christian.

Benoit starts laughing, little did he know Christian was listening to every word of this. Christian came out and attacked Benoit and was just yelling, “I’M NOT A BABY”

84

Backstage in a dim room you can see Eddie dressed in all black with huge bags under his eyes.

Eddie: You may be wondering what I’m doing dressed in all black. Well guess what essa, there’s a certain sense of respect I have homes. This is respect for the dead. This respect is for the man that I could kill at any moment. You see, homes, I can’t sleep. I’m going loco I tell you. Staight up LOCO! I don’t know what I’m going to do next. Right now I’m unpredictable. You may think “oh eddie, essa, you wouldn’t hurt a fly, all you do is lie cheat and steal,” well you can add hurt to that, because that’s what I’m going to do. HURT. That’s what I do HURT. That’s what happens to me I GET HURT. Not physically, but emotionally homes. I just can’t seem to shake it. Batista I would be scared right now homes, it just don’t matter that you are the World champion homes. It just don’t matter. Eddie could snap homes, and when Eddie snaps, beware. Eddie just might kill a man.

Eddie Guerrero debuted a new gimmick it gained a positive response.

Eddie Guerrero gained overness from this segment.

Eddie and Batista were about to start the main event, but the lights went off. A bunch of red pyros were shooting all over the place. And you could hear high pitch screaming in the background.

Singles Match

*World Heavyweight Title*

Batista vs. Eddie Guerrero

Eddie had a long stare down with Batista. Finally Batista decided to strike first with a right fist but Eddie ducked it and came up into a DDT. He bounced off the ropes and hit a knee drop right onto Batista’s face. Eddie started slapping his chest. He bounced of the ropes again and hit another knee drop. He then hit a standing splash and covered. Batista kicked out with authority at 2. Batista started taking control of the match. He was about to go for the Spinebuster, but Eddie hit him in the face with brass knuckles. Then Eddie went to the outside and grabbed two chairs and them into the ring. He also brought a few tables and he put on a sombrero for laughs. He put one chair onto the table and then he put Batista’s head. Then another chair. He called this the taco. He then went up top and frog splashed Batista’s head through the table. I think Batista could be dead. Eddie then set up the other tables he had brought in the ring. He hit the Three Amigos, two of the suplexes were through the other two tables he had set up. Eddie grabbed a mic “What did I tell you?” Then he grabbed Batista’s belt and posed with it at all four corners.

RAW

RAW kicked off with a detective walking into Ric Flair’s room. This detective was wearing a black suit, he looked overweight and had a pretty shaggy beard.

Flair: Aah, glad to see you could come.

Detective: Anything for you Mr. Flair.

(The voice sounded oddly familiar)

Flair: Alright the plan to catch this guy is…

Detective: Hold on, let me get my pencil to take some notes.

(he reached into his pocket and pulled out Mr. Socko and the crowd popped like no other)

Flair: Mick?!

Mick Foley: Yes? I’m here to help. Just let me know what I need to do.

Flair: As you can see I was brutally attacked last week by some little no good punk.

Mick Foley: I can see that. So how do you expect me to catch him?

Flair: Well my plan was to have me just walking around and waiting for him while you stand around the corner and pop out to catch him in the action of doing it.

Mick Foley: Just a second let me think about this.

(after talking with Socko, they both nodded their head)

Mick Foley: We’ll do it.

Flair: We’ll? Alright whatever you know what, the important thing is we need to catch him. So tonight at 9:35 central I will walk around right outside of my locker room and when he comes to attack me, you jump out and find out who’s doing it.

Mick Foley: Sounds like a plan. Have a nice day!

(cheap pop with a catchphrase that really didn’t need to be said at all)

Singles Match

Rene Dupree vs. Val Venis

Not a horrible match, but not necessarily a good match by any means. Rene Dupree scored a couple of close pinfalls until Val Venis locked in the Indian Deathlock and left Rene Dupree limping for the rest of the match. Val hit a flying cross body block off the ropes to set up the Money Shot for the win at 8:31. He was going to play to the crowd when Dupree clipped his leg from behind and hit the Death Valley Driver to knock Val Venis clean out, that wasn’t all, he then put Val against the ropes and started choking him out by pushing his neck against the bottom rope until the officials came in and broke it up.

68/67/70

Val Venis gained overness from this match

Rene Dupree lost overness from this match

Out comes Bischoff to a mixed reaction as everyone was pretty excited to hear what he had to announce.

Bischoff: I have some good news, and I have some bad news. I’ll say the bad news first. The bad news is that both Edge and Matt Hardy are tending to their health tonight so they will not appear they probably won’t appear next week as well. *some boos* I know, I know, I’m disappointed as well. Now for the good news. I have some official matches made for the Unforgiven PPV on Sunday the 18th! First of all, we’ll start with Edge and Matt Hardy, assuming they will be ready to go, these two will be competing in a Last Man Standing match to settle things once and for all. For those who don’t know the rules for the Last Man Standing match it’s quite simple, the man who gets knocked down for a ten count loses. This will be a true test to see who is the better man.

Bischoff: Another official match is John Cena vs. Kurt Angle for the WWE Heavyweight title! Finally the last one that I will be adding tonight is since Carlito has been inactive in defending his title, he will have to defend it in a 10 man battle royal in which he automatically draws number 1. *Bischoff, as always, has a big smirk on his face* That is all for tonight, enjoy the rest of the show.

Singles Match

Rosey vs. Gene Snitsky

This match was a very dull, “Let me try to slam you and then you can try to slam me” match until Trevor Murdoch ran in with a lasso and roped it around Rosey’s legs as he went off the ropes going for a huge clothesline, this sent Rosey to the mat face first. Gene Snitsky finished this match off with a Spear at 3:18. Murdoch continued to attack Rosey after the match as his partner Lance Cade jumped over the barricade on a fake horse. As he impressively lassoed Rosey around his neck from the outside allowing Murdoch to just attack the body of Rosey like no other until looked as if Rosey was running out of life which is when he clotheslined him over the ropes to the outside. Then Hurricane came flying off the barricade with a cross body block attempt, but Cade caught him and powerslammed him onto the steel steps. Cade and Murdoch tied Hurricane and Rosey together back to back with their lasso’s.

“Howdy ya’ll, this is Trevor Murdoch and I’d just likes to say me something. Me and my partner Lance Cade would like to challenge the world tag champs to face Texas’s champs! Our work here is done! YEE HAW!”

Lance and Trevor rode out on those horses that are a stick and a donkey’s head. It looks as if the tag champs will have their hands full at Unforgiven.

Trevor Murdoch gained overness from this segment

Coming back from a commercial break we cut immediately backstage where John Cena just walked into Kurt Angle and the two are about to fight right there. Then they agreed to walk away and not touch each other until Unforgiven. Then Cena just turned around and hit a haymaker right to Angle’s face and officials were right on scene to make sure things didn’t escalate. Cena simply said “I had my fingers crossed homey.”

John Cena gained overness from this segment

Singles Match

Shelton Benjamin vs. Rob “The Conman” Conway

Benjamin worked the back the whole match with stretches and suplexes. He had Conway in the surfboard stretch for almost a minute at one point before he decided to try something else. Benjamin looked very good here, he looked like he could be a contender for the World Title. Benjamin finally finished off a squash at 5:03 with the T-Bone Suplex.

68/70/66

Ric Flair walked out of his locker room right at 9:35 and was just walking around before a man in all black with not a single part of his body showing ran over and attacked Flair again. He hit Flair with various objects including a 2x4 multiple times. Flair was bloodied badly again and was rushed to the hospital after the man left. Mick jumped out and pulled up his mask and said “Ah-hah! I have you now, there’s no where to run” The man took off and Mick ran after him and when Mick turned the corner he turned right into a trash can. Mick got his head crushed into the trash can after a DDT. The masked figure took a chair and opened it up so he could plant Mick with another DDT and this one opened up Mick as well. The figure finally dragged Mick onto the stage and put him in a trash can. He rolled the trash can off the stage and onto the floor 15 feet below. EMTs rushed to both men’s aid and the masked figure got away once again, only Mick knows his identity and who knows if he’ll remember or even be alive to tell us about it.

Singles Match

Chris Masters vs. Shawn Michaels

This was being billed as Masters first big test (even though he had just beaten Flair the previous week). Masters started the match off by totally overpowering Michaels including a huge toss into the corner followed by a clothesline. Michaels was starting to build momentum behind a comeback as he flew off the ropes and hit a huge clothesline. He went up top for the diving elbow and he connected. He covered, 1…2…but Masters got the shoulder up! Michaels was tuning up for the Sweet Chin Music while Masters was struggling to his feet. Michaels went for the kick, but Masters caught the boot and spun him around and locked in the Masterlock. Eventually he got Michaels unconscious. This was easily Masters’ biggest victory to date. After the match Masters spit on Michaels and picked up a mic and claimed “The show is over for the showstopper” and he dropped the mic onto Michael’s chest.

63/59/68

Chris Masters gained overness from this match

Shawn Michaels gained overness from this match

While Masters was about to walk out the ring the Big Show’s music hit and he stormed down to the ring with a mic in hand. “Pick on someone your own size”. Show ran into the ring and clotheslined Masters and locked him in a full nelson, or Masterlock, of his own. When Masters seemed unconscious, Show picked the mic back up and claimed that that was no way to treat a legend and he picked Masters up and hit the Showstopper Chokeslam.

Singles Match

Johnny Parisi vs. Onyx

Your average squash match with Onyx getting in very little offense. Todd Grisham made a reference to how Johnny Parisi lived a swinger lifestyle. He also made many references to how great of an athlete Onyx is, as seems to be the norm for built looking black wrestlers. Parisi ended this match at 6:42 with the Swing Thing.

61/45/78

Next they played a video of what happened on RAW when Ric Flair got attacked. They showed him in his bloody mess.

A good contest actually. Derrick King seemed to get some offense in as he reversed a few of Tajiri’s kicks. Tajiri did end up getting the better of King though as he hit the Buzzsaw Kick at 5:29.

63/53/73

Now we see a video of the side effect off the stage into the electrical equipment. And we see Edge and Hardy just lying there in the debris.

Tyson Tomko vs. Val Venis

Val Venis came out to a relatively loud pop for a man who has had the same (stale) gimmick for years now. Tomko soon silenced them by going to work with his UFC style fighting tactics. He bloodied Val by giving him a huge punch to the nose. Then off the ropes Tomko hit the big boot and the ref determined that it was a knockout at 4:10.

Singles Match

Big Vito vs. Funaki

Pretty much complete domination. Big Vito absolutely over powered Funaki. Various power moves were able to allow Big Vito kill the smaller wrestler Funaki. Funaki didn’t get a single bit of offense in at all. Vito finished the match at 5:14 with the Luca Brotzi.

64/62/67

Simon Dean vs. Harley Lewis

Simon Dean got into the ring and went to work on Harley Lewis by calling him out of shape. He also says that he will never beat someone like Simon Dean who actually has worked out before in his life. He also talks about how he has never even heard of a Harley Lewis before and that he’ll never succeed in the WWE. Little did he know that Harley Lewis was right behind him and went to work. A clothesline from behind and that was all she wrote as Harley dissected Simon Dean from there on. With all of your usual big man moves. He finally put Dean out of his misery with a sick looking pile driver.

Harley Lewis gained overness from this match

The next segment was another video this time reviewing Orton’s segments. It first showed him looking for donations for his “funeral” fund and then it showed Undertaker choke slamming Orton and locking him in that casket.

82

Singles Match

Hardcore Holly vs. Paul Birchall

Paul Birchall came out to dead silence as no one even knew who he was. Hardcore Holly on the other hand actually did come out to an ok pop especially for him being Hardcore Holly. Birchall seemed to bring something new, he did a lot of power moves as we’ve seen a lot of on this Velocity, but he also brought something that most big men can’t do. He performed quite a few flying moves. It gave him the edge over Hardcore Holly, as he was about to finish him off with the Standing Moonsault, but Holly moved out of the way. It wasn’t until two minutes later when Regal hit Holly with the brass knuckles which led him right into a Pump handle Sidewalk Slam and that move finished the match.

52/41/63

Paul Birchall gained overness from this match

Backstage Justin Roberts was with MNM.

Justin: What do you have to say about your struggles with the new LOD?

Melina: New LOD *laughs* hardly. Heidenreich is no where near Hawk and Animal is just another old fat guy. He’s pretty much the opposite of my boys. Isn’t that right?

(Mercury and Nitro both nod with smiles on their face)

Melina: Let me just say one thing, when my boys Mercury and Nitro take back the WWE tag titles it will be a … Snapshot moment.

(All three smile as Velocity goes off air)

Singles Match

*Non-Title Match*

Chris Benoit vs. Chase Stevens

Benoit entered to a huge ovation, his opponent was already in the ring to start off the match. Chase Stevens’ name was announced to near silence. Benoit runs down the ramp and slides into the ring and ducks a clothesline attempt by Stevens. He reverses it into a German Suplex. Not one, not two, but three German’s is enough to take down the biggest wrestlers in the WWE much less someone like Chase Stevens. Benoit got up and signaled that it was over as it seemed that Chase was knocked out cold on the floor. Benoit turned him over and locked in the Crippler Crossface. Everyone was wondering why Chase wouldn’t tap, he had been in the Crossface for 15 seconds, when the ref finally realized that he was knocked out and called for the end of the match.

71/69/73

Comically Benoit ran right to the timekeeper’s table, not even waiting for the referee, Mike Chioda to raise his hand. He grabbed a mic and made a huge announcement.

“25.6 seconds” he said disappointedly, and he walked off with a smirk on his face.

Chris Benoit lost overness from this segment

(Backstage Randy Orton is shown next to a huge bucket that reads “Donations for Undertaker’s FUNERAL Fund”, Josh Matthews walked up to Randy Orton to interview him)

Randy: Yes, Josh Matthews, you are reading this right. After a long discussion me and my father had we have decided that Undertaker is really getting on in his years and who knows what could happen when he wrestles me again, so just in case I got the boys in the back to pitch in all for the Undertaker’s cause! That’s right Undertaker after your career of putting people in caskets we will be able to give you a nice one for your death!

(Orton looks over at his father and they both break out laughing as do most of the other wrestlers in the back including Eddie Guerrero, JBL, Christian, and many more)

Randy: As you can see we have quite a few supporters of this cause. That’s right Undertaker people DO care about you! By the way Josh would you like to chip in any loose change?

Josh: Sorry, I’m not here to try to kill off one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

Bob: Let me say something before we go. Undertaker, you can hide for some time but eventually you will have to come out and face the legend killer and your destiny this casket!

(four men bring out a jet black casket with silver handles)

Bob: Nice, huh? Well this can be yours for the price of one asswhoopin from Randy Orton!

Randy: Now does anyone have anymore donations for this fund, the Undertaker needs your help!

(scene fades away as Orton says the last line)

Singles Match

Ken Kennedy vs. Scotty 2 Hotty

Interesting point here is that Kennedy went straight to business in the ring and didn’t bother with the introductions. Kennedy wore down Scotty 2 Hotty the whole match working on his back with a lot of suplexes. Kennedy charged at Scotty in the corner when Scotty moved out of the way and Kennedy hit the ring corner hard as can be. Scotty went to the second rope and did a leg drop. He was firing up the crowd as he did the worm but missed on the following chop which allowed Kennedy to capitalize and re take control of the match. Finally Kennedy went to the second rope and performed the Kenton Bomb to get the victory at 12:43.

64/55/73

Scotty 2 Hotty lost overness from this match

Singles Match

Rey Mysterio vs. Paul London

After the ring introductions out came the Mexicools as everybody had expected since they hadn’t been seen yet. The Mexicools did not look happy, they got their garden rakes and went to work. Juvi and Super Crazy both beat Rey Mysterio down with their rakes. While Psicosis did a springboard tornado DDT to London and then went up top and did a guillotine leg drop. Then Juvi and Super Crazy held up Rey for Psicosis to get a couple good shots in with his rake and they did a super superplex followed right by the guillotine leg drop. Both contestants are knocked out and the ref calls for a no contest. The Juice grabs the mic and declares that the Mexicools are here to send a message to the whole cruiserweight division. Rey and Paul London are only the beginning if one of the members does not get a title shot in some way shape or form soon. The Mexicools have decided that SMACKDOWN! As a whole wasn’t what they were really after, they just wanted to go after the cruiserweight division. They just wanted gold.

*Non-Title Match*

Batista vs. Orlando Jordan

Batista came out to a huge ovation, he is possibly one of the most popular wrestlers in the whole business. Batista went to work right when Orlando Jordan got into the ring. After a couple of power moves it looked almost over at around the one minute mark until JBL decided to get into things here. Batista went and started yelling at JBL standing on the apron when JBL reached down and grabbed something. He was about to hit Batista when Batista heard footsteps and ducked which lead Orlando Jordan to grab air when he went for the back grapple and it caused JBL to clock Jordan with the title belt. Orland looked dazed as he stumbled right into Batista’s grip. Batista set him up and won with the Batista Bomb. The crowd once again gave a huge ovation. JBL was not as pleased…

74/79/64

JBL grabbed a microphone and started speaking

“Now Orlando, I didn’t name you the Chief of Staff for nothing, hell man we’ve been through a lot together. I was there for you when you had the U.S. title, representing it to its best, but ever since that meeting with Benoit at SummerSlam things just haven’t been the same. First I mean you lose in 25 seconds for God’s sake! That’s not something a WRESTLING…GOD can deal with. I can’t be associated with someone as low as you Mr. Jordan. Now you lose to Batista in just over a minute. Plus you also lost the match last week. I’m sorry but I can no longer work with you. You have been fired from the cabinet! Have fun with your new path whatever you may do.”

And on that note JBL slid into the ring and started putting the boots to Jordan. He threw him to the outside. JBL seemed to be searching for something under the ring and he found what he wanted, a cow bell. He tied one end of the cow bell around Orlando’s wrist and he pulled hard towards himself and hit Orlando Jordan with a Clothesline from Hell. That wasn’t all though, he also dragged him across the ground by pulling on one end right into the steel steps, then he jumped off them and knocked Orlando Jordan over the head with the cowbell. Orlando lay on the outside with a long streak of blood running down his face. JBL grabbed his cowbell back and stormed backstage.

Singles Match

Eddie Guerrero w/his wife vs. Booker T w/Sharmell

This match had a lot of intensity involved. You could see the fury in Eddie’s eyes when he was performing a lot of these moves. Eddie has lost almost everything now including many matches in a row. In the middle of the match Booker T went for the Scissors Kick, but Eddie fell backwards on purpose and swept out Booker T’s legs. Eddie went up top for the Frog Splash but Booker put his knees up to counter it. A couple minutes later Eddie kicked Booker in the midsection when he was being set up for the Book End, Eddie then hit the Three Amigos and covered Booker 1…2…no! Booker raised his shoulder to a huge ovation from the crowd. Then later after Booker hit a spinning heel kick it was spinerooni time! While Booker was celebrating Eddie pulled out brass knuckles from his tights and he went to hit Booker with them, but his wife grabbed his leg and allowed Booker to hit the Book End followed by the Scissors kick for the win. 17:34. After the match Eddie threw a tantrum and started yelling at his wife before Booker stopped him from hitting her (which got a huge pop from the crowd). Eddie just walked backstage and he looked close to crying.

81/86/70

After the ring was cleared from that match Randy Orton came out with a list of donators which he was planning on reading from.

Randy Orton started “Ok, Undertaker if you want to hear this it’s really cool to see how many fans you have backstage that are really your co-workers, so you can come on down to the ring if you want.”

He waited and nothing so he continued

“OK, well I guess I’ll just have to continue, the first donator and obviously for the most money was myself, Randy Orton along with my father Bob Orton. Another generous man was JBL who donated an amount that won’t be said to protect his privacy, but I’ll assure you it was a lot. Let’s see… (he scanned the paper) Ah, Christian donated 5 dollars! And hmm, does that say Vince McMahon, no, couldn’t be, wow Undertaker, you have a fan up fron—

Orton was cut off by Undertaker’s unmistakable bells at the beginning of his theme. Orton appears frightened as he backs up to the other side of the ring and then when he sees that it’s his father Bob Orton pretending to be the Undertaker doing all the familiar mannerisms that everyone knows by heart. Orton was hysterical in the ring until a familiar hand wrapped around his throat. The Undertaker had slid in behind him! He picked up Orton and chokeslammed him straight to hell! Bob Orton took off right when he saw Undertaker for sure. Then the Undertaker went back out the ring and brought in that same casket that Bob Orton was showing off earlier in the show and locked Randy Orton in it! He did the kneeling and titling back of the head as he was right next to the casket with Orton in it. Smackdown faded off air with that image.
