any chance of getting it zipped?

Jan 06? or Dec 05?Thanks

So,everyone made fun of Rocky Feller,but then didn't actually come up with any storyline?Rather said "better off making your own".Seems rather pointless.Now let the Legend Killer bashing begin

Also,for one month stories in TEW,I just do unchained ones.They work best creatively,no matter your promotion style.

Thanks Bill,it looks great!

Thanks alot Bill,hope you feel better.Can't wait to do a possible NXT diary!

I thank you in advance for the 05 version Idol.A really great idea.

lmao...good point Rear Admiral....as for iDOM amazing work!I wanted to wait for 1.1 to play it, but I found Stampede was calling my name Thanks guys.

good diary man,well worth the wait for the next update.

The final Smackdown before the gigantic Summer Slam pay per view kicks off live! We go to Michael Cole and Tazz at ringside.

Cole- Ladies and gentlemen welcome to what promises to be a great show. Tazz, the superstars of the Smackdown brand are going to go all out tonight!

Tazz- You ain’t kiddin’ Cole. Tonight, being the final stop before Summer Slam, should be huge!

Psychosis vs. Sylvain Greiner

The Match

The show gets started quickly with in-ring action. The sounds of lawn mowers fill the arena as the tag team champions make their way down. Last week Greiner got a win over Juventud, this week he faces off against Psychosis. Speaking of the Frenchman, out he comes. The match starts with Greiner acting very cocky towards both tag champions. They lock up, and Greiner shoves Psychosis off. Psychosis charges him and a huge brawl ensues. Greiner gets tossed to the outside, where Juvi is there to stomp away at him, much to the delight of the crowd. Inside the ring Psychosis takes a suicide dive, taking out Greiner. Greiner gets tossed back inside, and Psychosis follows. On the top rope, Psychosis looks for a leg drop. Nobody home! A quick roll up by Greiner only gets a two. In honor of his injured friend Greiner does the French Tickler dance before taking a run off the ropes. He nails an elbow and goes for another. This time Psychosis moves and is on his feet quickly. He hits a spinning heel kick on Greiner, then hits a few arm drags. Greiner charges, but is set up crotch first over the top rope by the waiting Psychosis. Then he is stomach first over the rope. Psychosis heads up top, and hits his leg drop, sending Sylvain back into the ring. Cover, 1-2-3!!

Winner: Psychosis

Backstage we see John Cena lacing up his wrestling boots. Into his locker room comes JBL. Cena is quickly on his feet preparing for a fight.

JBL: Whoa John, I’m not here to fight you now. I’ll wait for the main event. I just want to tell you what Shawn Michaels is planning for Summer Slam. If you think you have a chance in hell of walking out this Sunday as champion, think again. You’re gonna make Bret Hart at Survivor Series look like Sesame Street.

Cena: Listen JBL. There ain’t nobody here, except your little Cabinet believes a word you say. Stirring up crap is just as inviting to you as a buffet table is to Blue Meanie. Speaking of that, have fun getting your ass kicked at Summer Slam!

The two stare each other down as Smackdown goes to break.

When the show returns Muhammad Hassan is in the ring with a microphone. He shuts the crowd up and speaks.

Hassan: This Sunday I finally step into the ring with that big red monster Kane. I know you people don’t believe me but I’m looking forward to this. Kane, you probably figure I’ll head into Summer Slam expecting a butt kicking. Well guess again. I’m going in with a plan, and I plan on embarrassing you and all of America this Sunday!

With that short message Hassan leaves the ring to many jeers from the crowd. WE immediately cut to the backstage where Shawn Michaels is standing with Todd Grisham.

Todd: HBK we are just days away from Summer Slam. This is a big event every year for WWE, and this year you play a huge role.

HBK: Kid, this isn’t my first rodeo. Now I know my track record as a referee hasn’t been that great. But just give me a chance! But you know, there’s something I’m ver good at. That’s wrestling. Tonight, I prove why I’m the Main Event!

Shawn leaves the interview area. Smackdown goes into another commercial break.

Smackdown returns to give the fans more in-ring action. The sound of someone spitting an apple is heard. Carlito comes out with his gay little sidekick Matt Morgan. They get in the ring, and await Carlito’s opponent. CAN YOU DIG IT SUCKAAAAA!!!! Booker T comes out and sets his pyro off. As he gets in the ring, the match begins.

Booker T vs. Carlito-US Title Match

The Match

In the opening minutes both men look very evenly matched. Then Booker starts to take over. He gets Carlito into a corner and unloads with chops and punches. Carlito is then sent from one corner to the next, falling flat on his face due to the impact. As he gets back on his feet, Booker clotheslines him over the top. As Booker follows him out, he meets Matt Morgan. Morgan stands in front of Carlito, and dares Booker to make a move. The referee gets out of the ring to separate the two. While Morgan distracts the referee, Carlito nails Booker with the US belt. The dead weight of Booker T gets brought back into the ring by Carlito. Cover, 1-2-kick out! Carlito is furious, and takes it out on the ref. They argue and get into a shoving match. The referee threatens to DQ Carlito, which forces Carlito to turn his attention back to the Book Man. Booker grabs Carlito into a Book End. He drops Carlito down hard, and goes for the win. 1-2-3!!

Winner: Still US Champion, Booker T

We head back to the arena with Cole and Tazz.

Cole- I don’t quite think The Mexicools know what’s in store for them. Tonight they have to deal with JBL’s Cabinet.

Tazz- Speaking of that group Cole, we have a short video package highlighting the history of this group JBL has put together.

The video airs highlighting the past Cabinet. The Bashams, Orlando Jordon, and JBL are shown. Then we switch to JBL’s announcement of a brand new Cabinet. The new additions being Tyson Tomko and Randy Orton, replacing The Bashams. Then all of the sudden the screen goes blue. The bWo symbol appears as we go to break.

When we return Juventud is already in the ring. The sounds of JBL’s music hits, followed by Randy Orton’s theme. The Legend Killer strikes a pose before heading to the ring. The bell rings, and the match is on!

Randy Orton vs. Juventud

The Match

Orton warms up a huge lugy to spit at Juvi’s face, but gets slapped and the spit goes straight up into the air. Juvi then unloads with punches, backing Orton into the corner. Randy fights back with a high knee into the gut, followed by a European uppercut. Juvi goes down, and gets stomped nearly to death. The referee tries to create distance between the two, but Orton proves to be relentless. He picks Juvi up, and tosses through the ropes and to the floor. High flying moves are not Randy’s thing, and he proves that by attempting a plancha over the top rope. Nobody was home, and now Juvi has taken control of the match. Only shortly however as Orton reverses an Irish Whip into the barricade. Juventud is now favoring his back heavily. Orton rams him back first into the ring post before getting him back into the ring. Quick cover, 1-2- Orton just let him up. He gestures over towards Psychosis, as he waits for Juvi to get to his feet. RKO!! Cover, 1-2-3!

John Cena & Shawn Michaels vs. The Cabinet(Orlando, Tomko, and JBL)

The Match

After the break The Cabinet are just getting out of their limo. Randy Orton’s absence is obvious, as is JBL’s angry state. As they get into the ring, we hear girls screaming. HBK Shawn Michaels comes out to the ramp. He gets down on his knees and readys himself for this match. He then waits, as does the entire building, for the arrival of WWE Champion John Cena. Trumpets sound and out he comes. The roof blows off the arena as Cena and Michaels charge to the ring. Cena goes right for JBL, and Shawn takes out both Tomko and Jordon. Jordon is sent over the top rope, and turns to Tomko. He gets a boot in the face for his efforts. The number game then gets to Cena and HBK. As order finally gets restored it’s Tomko and Michaels as the legal men. Shawn is beaten down pretty bad from the beginning brawl, so Tyson has pretty easy pickings. Orlando is then brought in to continue the beat down. He tries a vertical suplex on HBK, but Shawn manages to land on his feet. He rolls OJ up into a pin, 1-2-kick out! Jordon pushes HBK right into the corner of The Cabinet with that push off. This leads to a triple team, as Cena argues with the referee. Tomko is then tagged back in, but his speed is no match for Shawn’s. HBK charges at Tomko with a clothesline, at the same time Tomko gets his arm out. Both men are down, crawling towards their corners. Cena is tagged in, as is JBL! Cena comes in like a house of fire, and takes out JBL. Then Orlando, then Tomko. Cena pumps up his sneakers, and puts JBL up on his shoulders. Suddenly Orlando gets in the ring. This brings in Shawn, who starts tuning up the band. Cena hits the FU, and gets back to his feet. Just in time to see Shawn charging at him. Cena ducks and Jordon gets nailed with the sweet chin music! Cena pins JBL, 1-2-3!

Smackdown kicks off live from Columbus, Georgia! Before the pyro can even go off, we hear the music of HBK Shawn Michaels.

Cole- Welcome everyone to Smackdown!

Tazz- Cole, it looks things are getting interesting already. What is HBK doing out here?

After Shawn allows his pyro to go off behind him, he enters the ring. He takes a mic from Tony Chimmel, and tells him to get lost.

HBK- I'll be the first to admit that in my past I've done some pretty dirty things. The old Shawn Michaels was an uncontrollable cancer. He’d stab people in the back just to get ahead. Well that man is no more. But ever sense I was announced as the referee for the WWE Title match at Summer Slam, people have doubted me. Fans of John Cena think I am going to double cross him. Well guess what? Come Summer Slam, I'm calling the match right down the middle!

As Shawn finishes up what he was saying, Edge's music hits. He comes out to the stage with a mic.

Edge- Gimme a break Shawn. We know you're not calling that match down the middle. But it's not John Cena who has to worry about that now is it? No, it's me! Everyone knows you can't stand me Shawn. That's why you went to Long and bagged for a tag team match tonight. You and Cena against Me and Christian. You're doing everything you can to build a friendship with Cena. After all, you guys are perfect for each other. You both suck!

Paul London vs. Johnny Nitro w/Joey Mercury & Melina-WWE Cruiserweight Title

The Match

Smackdown returns to catch London in mid-sprint. He slides under the ropes and enters the ring. Then the carpet is rolled out as all three members of MNM make their way down. They go through all of their pre-match festivities, then finally the bell sounds. Even though Nitro is a cruiserweight he is unable to keep up with the lighter London. Paul runs circles around Nitro, causing frustration with all three MNM members. Soon however, Nitro's outside help comes into play, as Melina distracts the referee. During this time, Mercury gets in the ring. MNM set London up for the Snap Shot. They hit their signature moves, as Nitro covers the cruiserweight champion. As the referee turns around, Nitro has London pinned. 1-2-3! New Champion!

Long- Look playa, I know you guys had a tag team title match coming your way. But your partner is injured. I can't allow him to wrestle. Don't worry you'll get your shot.

Greiner- This is horrible Teddy. You are a horrible man. We were going to take those titles from the Mexicools. French people are cooler than those Mexicans!

Long- You know somethin' playa? The Mexicools thought you might be a bit upset. That's why Juventud is waiting for you in the ring right now!

Juventud w/ Psychosis vs. Sylvain Greiner

The Match

Indeed The Mexicools are waiting for Greiner in the arena. Soon he comes out, mouthing off to the champs all the way. He stops at their Juan Mowers, and spits on each one of them. Juvi climbs to the top turnbuckle and dives onto the floor, taking Greiner out with a cross body. He then pounds him with punches on the floor. As the action gets into the ring, Juvi remains in control. Greiner bags off in the corner as he realizes he really pissed Juvi off. As Juvi follows him in, Greiner pulls on his trunks, sending him face first into the top turnbuckle. Juvi stumbles backwards, and Greiner rolls him up for a pin attempt. He gets his feet on the second rope for extra leverage, but Psychosis is there to shove them off. Greiner doesn't let it get to him that much, because he knows he has Juventud right where he wants him. He even does his own French Tickler dance for his injured partner Rene Dupree. After the tickler he goes off the ropes, but nobody's home for his elbow drop. Both men get back to their feet, but Juvi knocks Greiner back down with a dropkick, then a second. He goes for a third, but Greiner side steps it. Juvi lands on his knee hard due to the botched dropkick, and Greiner notices. He works it over for several minutes, and then covers the helpless Mexicool. 1-2-3!

Backstage we have WWE Champion John Cena standing by with everyone’s favorite Todd Grisham.

Grisham- John earlier tonight we saw Shawn Michaels claim he is going to call your match at Summer Slam right down the middle. Do you believe him?

Cena- You know Todd, that might be your smartest question ever. Because ya see I'm stuck in the middle on that one. On one hand you have Shawn Michaels, the man who achieved his boyhood dream at Wrestlemania 12. On the other hand, you have Shawn Michaels. The man who backstabbed a fellow wrestler in 1997 just to become WWE Champion. I don't know what Shawn has planned, but I can tell him one thing. I'm not Bret Hart, and I won't allow you to screw me out of this belt. As for Edge, I've got something to say to him too. I'm not Lita, you won't pin me down that easily!

Back from break we are treated to JBL's longhorn limo. All of the Cabinet members get out of the limo decked out in nice looking suits. They all get out of the limo, and head to the ring. JBL gets in the ring last, with Orlando Jordon holding the ropes for him. Then the ringleader himself JBL grabs a mic. His music dies down, and he speaks.

JBL-At Summer Slam, we get our hands on the bWo. Finally we can get these wannabe punks out of our lives. If these guys think a gay looking group like them can get away with calling Orlando, and more importantly me homosexual. They are dead wrong! I mean, I'm a wrestling...god. Orlando isn't bad either. I've molded him into a great wrestler.

Orlando does some shadow boxing to show himself off. After JBL finishes, Rando Orton takes the mic.

Orton- Nova! I heard you call The Cabinet a bunch of no talent losers. Tomko heard you too, and he didn't like the sounds of it at all. I don't think you boys know what you're in for. We are a fearless group of warriors. At Summer Slam, you boys better be ready. Because we're taking you to the woodshed.

JBL takes the mic back to make one final statement.

JBL- Now it's time for some sad news. The bWo has pushed us all to the point where we are willing to take some drastic messures. We've decided that this Saturday night we're gonna grace that bingo hall you call an arena. You boys are in for the whoopin' of your life. Good luck making it to Summer Slam!

As The Cabinet leaves the ring they give one final signal to the crowd, who boos even harder. It looks like this group of warriors means business.

Grisham- Booker you are about to walk through the curtain to face Hassan for your US Title. How are you going to approach this matchup tonight?

Booker- Like The Book does every match sucka. I'm going all out. This America hating sucka in the ring right now makes me sick. He doesn't deserve this title. So I'm gonna make sure he doesn't get his hands on it. Now Todd...Can You Dig That...SUCKAAAAA!!

Booker T vs. Muhammad Hassan-US Title Match

The Match

Booker gets jumped right from the bell, even before the referee removes the title from the ring. Hassan takes an early advantage kicking and stomping away at the champ. Booker fights his way back to a vertical base, but is no sooner sent back down. Hassan uses a clear choke right in front of the referee. But he is smart enough to break at a five count. Booker is left gasping for air, as the referee tells Hassan to back off for a second. While the referee is talking with Hassan, Daivari is getting a few cheap shots in on Booker. As the match continues on Hassan remains in control. A few near falls make the crowd nervous, as they begin to get behind Booker. Hassan has Booker locked in a camel clutch, with the help of the thousands in attendance Booker is able to get to his feet while in the move. Booker then backs Hassan into the corner. Hassan has to let go of the hold, but soon is on Booker's back locking in a sleeper. Booker is able to escape this one as well by running towards the corner, dropping down, and letting Hassan's face to smack the top turnbuckle. After regaining his composure Booker hits Muhammad with a scissors kick. He then performs the Spinaronie for the crowd. He sets up for the Book End, but Hassan blocks it with several elbows to the ear. Hassan then charges at Book with a clothesline, nearly taking his head off. Hassan stands and poses for the crowd, rather than going for the pin. All of the sudden fire comes from the posts, an obvious message from Kane. This frightens Hassan, as he backs right into Booker. Book rolls up his opponent, 1-2-3!

The Match

Out first is the brother tag team of Edge and Christian. Edge slides into the ring, and Christian uses the steps to make his entrance. They both get on the turnbuckles, Christian slapping his chest. Then the music of Shawn Michaels hits. Out comes the Show Stoppa to a thunderous ovation. His pyro goes off, and then he waits on the outside for his partner. After a short pause, the music of WWE Champion John Cena hits and the champ is here! He and Shawn just look at each other for split second, before charging the ring. The match starts off in complete mayhem. The four have paired off into two fights. Christian and Michaels are slugging it out, while in the other corner Cena and Edge are going at it. Michaels charges at Christian, taking him over the top rope with a clothesline. This leaves Edge and Cena in their. The two go back and forth with closed fist punches. Cena takes control after getting in a few consecutive shots in. He then whips Edge into the ropes, but Christian is quick to pull him out of harm's way. After a short timeout, sort to speak, Edge gets back into the ring with the Champ. Cena however tags in Shawn Michaels. This makes Edge furious as he tries to attack Shawn before he even gets in the ring. HBK tries to fight back, but is unsuccessful. For several minutes both Edge and Christian roll all over HBK. However, after getting beat around for most of the match, Shawn fights back. He hits Edge with a surprise superkick! But is unable to cover him, due to Christian coming in. Capitan Charisma grabs Shawn by the arm, and simply just drops down. Shawn is in obvious pain, but he still manages to make the hot tag to John Cena! Christian is sent flying over the top rope. Then Cena unloads on his Summer Slam opponent Edge. He gets Edge up on his shoulders, looking for an F-U. Edge gets out of it in unique fashion. He gets his arm around Cena's head, and drives him to the mat with a DDT. Edge then sizes John up for a spear, and hits it! Cover, 1-2-3!!

August 11, 2005

Nashville, Tennessee

Smackdown kicks off with its trademark pyro coming from the giant fist. We are live from Nashville tonight, with Michael Cole and Tazz at ringside.

Cole- Welcome everyone to Smackdown! Tonight we will see Sylvain Greiner take on one half of the tag team champions, Psychosis!

Tazz- Plus Cole we have one hell of a main event. Tonight Booker T takes on #1 Contender Edge! Also, and correct me if I'm wrong Cole, but I heard a rumor that JBL has a huge announcement.

Right off the bat, JBL's white limousine makes its way out to the arena. Perhaps this is the big announcement. JBL and Orlando Jordon get out of the limo, and enter the ring. JBL grabs a mic.

JBL- Its no secret that I've been having my share of bad luck against certain superstars here on Smackdown. First it was that punk John Cena; last week it was Booker T. Well for all you JBL haters out there that thought I was going to curl up and die, I've got some bad news. You see at one time I had a group of men who would die just so that I could succeed here on Smackdown. I had my own little Cabinet. So I've decided to reform that once famous Cabinet. Alongside me is my Chief of Staff, Orlando Jordon (boos). Out next is my own personal Problem Solver, Tyson Tomko!

Christian's old music plays, and out comes the Problem Solver Tyson Tomko. He walks up the steps and into the ring. He shakes hands with Jordan and JBL. Then Bradshaw puts the mic to his mouth once again.

JBL- Finally, I've brought one more man to this elite group. This man is by far the most impressive force we have on Smackdown! He's only young, so he'll be carrying the name of the Cabinet for years to come. In his short career he has taken out many top names, past and present. And it's no where near done for him. With a leader like JBL in his corner, the sky's the limit! Ladies and gentlemen, the Legend Killer, Randy Orton!

Orton's music plays, and out comes the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history. He does his pose on the stage, with pyro going off behind him.

Sylvain Greiner vs. Psychosis

The Match

The music of La Resistance plays and out comes both Rene Dupree and Sylvain Greiner. Before the can even get into the ring, the referee sends Rene and Fefe back to the dressing room. Rene is fighting mad after being told to leave, but eventually; he takes his dog and goes. Out next are the tag team champions, The Mexicools. They bring their Juan mowers out to the arena and have some fun with the crowd. Then Juvi takes his mower backstage without a fight, making this encounter a straight up one on one bout. Sylvain foolishly rushed into the match, and right into Psychosis' main expertise. Following a drop toe hold, Psychosis hits a wicked dropkick that catches Greiner square in the face. From there, more high tempo type moves help Psychosis take over. Head scissors take downs and frankensteiners are just some of the moves Psychosis used to daze Greiner. Sylvain is litterly on Dream Street, and even collapses in the middle of the ring. He falls at a perfect time, as Psychosis was going for a cross body. Instead he flies into the ring ropes! Just then from the back, Rene Dupree returns. He revives his partner with a bottle of water, and points out that Psychosis is hurting. The referee notices that Dupree has returned, and yells at him, as he backs away. The wake up call Greiner got from his partner seems to have really helped him out. Psychosis has never really recovered from his collision with the ropes, and he’s paying big time for it. Greiner uses a ground and pound tactic to weaken Psychosis. Dupree has yet to leave the ringside area, as he watches the match from the ramp way. He inches ever closer to the ring each time it looks as though Psychosis could mount a comeback. Psychosis is on his knees trying to pound at Sylvain's gut, and then he moves his attack to the legs. Psychosis has now gained a vertical base, and hits a fisherman's buster on Greiner. He heads up top, where he is met by Rene, who is on the apron now. Dupree grabs Psychosis' boot, as Greiner charges towards him. At the last second Psychosis frees his boot, and sends Greiner head into that of his partner. Dupree falls from the apron, as Psychosis hits frankensteiner on Greiner, 1-2-3!

Todd- I'm here with #1 Contender, Edge! Edge, ever sense you came back to Smackdown due to the draft, you've been on a role. You're Mr. Money In The Bank, but yet you managed to get yourself another shot at the title anyway.

Edge- You know Todd, I am doing quite well here on Smackdown. That punk John Cena has no idea what he's got coming his way. At Summer Slam, I will become the new WWE Champion! I mean, come on Todd, having John Cena as champion is just disrespectful to our brand. We need a worthy champion, that man is me! John, in three weeks time, that belt is coming home with me. Can you feel that John? It's your grip of the belt slowly becoming weaker. Have a nice three weeks Cena!

With that Edge leaves the interview area.

Back in the arena we hear the music of Muhammad Hassan. He and Daivari grant us with their presents. Neither man looks too thrilled as they head to the ring. Hassan grabs a mic, and stomps back to the center of the ring.

Hassan- The last week has been one big injustice. Hell, the past few months have been a living hell for me! But this last week has been more than I am able to take. Last Monday on Raw I hear that Eric Bischoff and that no good Teddy Long have struck a deal. Now these are two men who are in a war for supremacy in the wrestling world. But yet, they are willing to combine forces just to take me out! If this is not a huge slap in the face of my people, I don't know what is! Worst of all is Kane! That big red freak is willing to come to Summer Slam just to face me. Kane doesn't know me, he doesn’t know my people. Nor do you filthy people! But Kane, if it's a fight you want, I'm ready for you!

Just then the lights in the arena go out completely. They stay like this for quite a while, as the fans start to cheer. The sounds of fire coming from the posts bring the lights back to life. But Kane isn’t in the ring like expected. Instead we have a referee, and Scotty 2 Hotty standing behind Hassan and Daivari. The bell sounds.

Muhammad Hassan vs. Scotty 2 Hotty

The Match

A dropkick to Daivari sends him sailing out of the ring via the top rope. Scotty turns back around to attack Hassan, but Muhammad is ready for him. Hassan starts to beat on the back of his neck like a mad man. He hits a vicious clothesline, followed by DDT that turns Scotty inside out. With Scotty face down on the mat, Hassan sneaks up on him and hooks in the camel clutch. Scotty's neck is in so much pain that he has no choice but to give up. Hassan makes short work of Scotty 2 Hotty here, and lets his frustration known to the entire world!

JBL waits for a while, but the lights in the arena don't dim one bit. Its obvious Edge did quite a number on Taker last week.

The Undertaker lost 4 points of overness from this segment.

JBL looks pleased with himself now that he knows for sure The Undertaker isn't coming out.

JBL- Oh well. I've got a great idea for a match anyway. I want some action tonight, so I'm issuing an Open Challenge to any Smackdown superstar. Come get some of JBL!

The crowd starts to chant BWO. This gets JBL very pissed off.

JBL- I said Smackdown superstar! Those guys can't spell superstar! Come on, I want a challenge!

The music of GM Teddy Long hits. He comes out to the stage all gangster like with a mic in hand.

Long- JBL, you want action tonight? I was hoping I'd get a good chance to make this announcement. Your opponent tonight will also be the special guest referee for Smackdown's WWE Title match at Summer Slam. Ladies and Gentlemen, HBK Shawn Michaels!!

Theodore Long gained 3 points of overness from this segment.

JBL vs. HBK Shawn Michaels

The Match

AW AW AW SHAWWN!! HBK comes out dancing to a thunderous roar from the sold out crowd. He gets on his knees, and allows the pyro to go off behind him, as he asks the Lord to help him out in this one. He gets in the ring, and soon the bell sounds to get this thing started! The two lock up in the middle of the ring, and Shawn grabs a side headlock. JBL sends him into the ropes, and Shawn comes back with a clothesline. JBL gets back on his feet quickly, and is sent down again by a second clothesline. As JBL gets up for the second time, HBK goes for a third clothesline. But Bradshaw hits a huge boot to the face, which sends Shawn to the mat hard. JBL drops an elbow on the downed Michaels, and stays on him for a cover. 1-2-kickout. JBL picks Shawn up by the hair and clubs him in the back with a forearm. He hits the ropes and knees Shawn in the face just as he was trying to get back up. JBL gets him up, and tries for a powerbomb. Shawn trips him up however, and locks in a sharpshooter on his tree trunk legs. Just then out comes Edge to watch the guest referee for his WWE Title match. After a short fight, JBL grabs the bottom rope, and doesn't let go. Michaels lets go of the hold, takes notice of Edge, and tries to lock it in again. But JBL thumbs him in the eye, blinding him momentarily. As Shawn stumbles around, JBL runs at him looking for a Clothesline From Hell. But obviously Michaels' vision is not as bad as everyone thought. Michaels is able to not only avoid the move, but hit the Sweet Chin Music in the process. Shawn can not capitalize, and both men are down. Edge slowly is getting closer to the ring. This brings WWE Champion John Cena out! The two begin to fight on the outside. The referee becomes distracted by the outside activity, and turns away from the match. All of the sudden, Tyson Tomko comes through the crowd. He gets in the ring, and boots Shawn Michaels as hard as he can. He puts JBL's lifeless body over HBK. The referee finally turns around and makes the count. 1-2-3!

Winner: JBL

Edge and Cena, who were fighting on the outside, are now in the ring. They are going at it tooth and nail. JBL soon gets himself involved in the beating of John Cena. This goes on for a little while. Then, finally, Cena gets some help. From the back comes US Champion Booker T! He gets in and takes out Edge. This allows Cena to regain his bearings, and clothesline JBL over the top rope. Michaels Cole sends Smackdown into its final commercial break. As the four men continue to beat the hell out of each other!

Edge vs. Booker T Non-Title

The Match

Coming back from commercial we see that the match is in progress. Both John Cena and JBL have been removed from ringside, we see a replay of that. In the ring Edge is beating on Booker. He moves the Booker Man into the corner, where he drills him with several knees to the gut. He then attempts to whip from one corner to the other. Booker reverses it, and sends Edge flying chest first into the turnbuckle. Edge stumbles backwards, right into a side suplex by Booker. 1-2-kickout! Despite Edge kicking out, Booker seems very confident. He lines Edge up for an axe kick, but Edge moves out of the way. Edge then nails a spear out of nowhere! 1-2-2 & ¾! Somehow Booker was able to get a shoulder off the mat. Edge can't believe it! He gets Booker back to his feet, and lifts him up for a vertical suplex. Booker does his best to wiggle out of it, and succeeds. He lands of his feet behind Edge and rolls him up. 1-2-kickout! Booker waits for Edge to get back up, and takes a run at him. Edge sees him coming and hits a spinning wheel kick right to the face. With Booker hurting Edge waits in the corner for the perfect time to hit another spear. As Booker begins to turn around, Edge charges towards him. At the very last second Booker moves, sending Edge into the second turnbuckle. Booker nails an axe kick. Instead of going for a pin, Booker stares at his glove, and does his trademark spinarooni. He doesn't get to finish it however, as now Edge is on his feet. He grabs Booker in a powerbomb position, and hits a Batista like sit down powerbomb. This match has taken a lot out of both men, and Edge decides it's time to end it. He sets Booker up for his Edgecution DDT. He lifts Booker in the air, then drives his head into the mat with the DDT. Cover, 1-2-3!

Show Rating-72

The aftermath of Sunday’s Great American Bash pay per view kicks off with the typical Smackdown pyro. Then following the scan of the crowd we go to the broadcast table. Where for the first time in a long time Michael Cole and Tazz greet the Smackdown audience.

Cole- Welcome everyone to Smackdown! We are just off the heels of one of the greatest pay per views I’ve ever been a part of. We saw a lot of intense action last Sunday from the Smackdown superstars.

Tazz- You damn right Cole. Not only that, but I made my triumphant return, don’t forget that!

The in-ring action begins quickly as the red carpet is rolled out for the former WWE tag team champions.

Psychosis vs. Johnny Nitro

The Start

The trio comes down to the ring, in less than trilled fashion. Melina is still able to pull off the sexiest way to get the ring that anyone has ever seen. Almost immediately however, she is sent packing by the official. Not only her, but Mercury as well! This infuriates them, but they soon obey. Then finally the juan mowers are out, and the crowd roars for the tag team champions, The Mexicools! Juvi and Psychosis discuss some final game planning, before Juvi goes backstage without a fight.

Mid Match

Early on it seems the even playing field favors Psychosis, as Nitro can’t seem to gain any offence. The tide soon turns as Psychosis gets caught up on the top turnbuckle, as Nitro takes his feet out from under him, and he is left in a very uncomfortable position. Nitro then climbs up, and superplexes Psychosis down to the mat. 1-2-kick out. In frustration, Nitro chokes Psychosis for a four count. Then he pins him again, 1-2-kick out! Nitro freaks on the ref, only to get scooped up by the champ, 1-2-kick out. Nitro gets to his feet quickly, only to get knocked down by a leg lariat. He rolls to the outside for a breather, but Psychosis doesn’t allow it, as he dives through the ropes, sending Nitro’s lower back into the rail.

The Finish

Back in the ring, Nitro is favoring his back heavily. It doesn’t look good at all for the celebrity wannabe. It seems he notices this and wants to stop Psychosis’ run. As Psychosis whips him into the ropes, he hangs on to the top rope for dear life, forcing Psychosis to botch an attempted dropkick but landing on the back of his head. The referee does the right thing by checking on the fallen superstar. Nitro takes this time to go and get the tag title belt at ringside. He brings it into the ring, wanting to knock Psychosis out with it. The referee turns just in time to grabs the belt, and beginning a tug of war with Nitro. With both of his hands occupied Nitro can not defend Psychosis as he hits a standing frankensteiner. He grabs a leg as it comes up, and the count is made. 1-2-3!!

Winner: Psychosis

Out comes Juvi to celebrate with his tag team partner. This celebration is cut short however by The Coach. He comes out with a mic in hand, as Tazz grows madder and madder.

Coach- Listen fools, get out of my ring. I’m not in a very good mood tonight, and I don’t want to see anybody who is!

The Mexicools leave the ring, but don’t seem too interested in leaving ringside just yet. They stay on the outside, as Coach continues his rant.

Coach- Now. I’m sure you’re all aware that Tazz is back. The 280lbs midget has once again graced us with his presence. Which is fine, I’m all good with seeing him. There will be no confrontations between us backstage, that’s not my thing. However, when you come out here and take my spot at the booth, problems begin. So why don’t you just pick yourself off MY chair, and go home.

Surprisingly with a glare in his eye, Tazz gets up off the chair. He walks around the ring, and towards the ramp. He stops though, and looks back at Coach.

Coach- That’s right, leave! Do us all a favor and take those foreigners with ya too!

Coach shows off a toothy grin to the three wrestlers on the outside of the ring. They just look at each other, and all charge for the ring. Soon Coach is caught with nowhere to run, and is beaten down by all three. The Mexicools have their fun, then throw Coach over to Tazz. From there, the Tazzmission is locked in, until Coach is out cold. Tazz’s music plays as we head to our first commercial break.

As we return Todd Grisham is backstage at the interview area.

Grisham- Ladies and Gentlemen my guest at this time is the reigning WWE Champion, John Cena!

Cena walks into the view of the camera looking Todd up and down laughing.

Cena- What the hell kinda suit is that Todd? Did your mommy pick it out for you?

Grisham- No she didn’t. If you think this one is ugly, you should have seen what she wanted me to wear. But I said no way, I’… Uh anyway John, you have just came off a huge title defense. What are your plans now?

Cena- Oh I don’t know Todd. I really enjoy kicking people’s asses, so why not continue. I’m the WWE Champion, the WWE expects me to kick ass. More importantly, the chain gang expects it!

Grisham- Well rumor has it that Teddy Long has a plan for that WWE Title, involving a #1 Contender.

Cena- Whatever man. Just remember that I’ll be ready for anything!

Cena walks off with a very intense look about him. We then cut back to the arena.

OR:87

Dupree vs. Juvi

The Start

Out first is the French phenom Rene Dupree. He sets his French flag between the ring steps and post, and then enters the ring. He grabs the mic, and yells at the fans in French. Until the sound of a lawn mower cuts him off. Out comes Juventud to a huge ovation. He rides down to the ring with his tag belt around his neck. As he enters the ring, Dupree jumps him, getting an unfair advantage as the bell sounds.

Mid Match

Clearly Juvi is outmatched in this one. The much larger Dupree grounds the high flyer and beats him down. Juvi does manage a few spurts of offense, but not enough to take control. Only about five minutes into the beating Rene feels it’s time to put this thing to rest. He sets Juvi up in a powerslam position. Rene takes a massive run off. Just as it looks like he going to make Juventud part of the ring, Juvi slips out the back. Dupree runs himself chest first into the top turnbuckle, then walks blindly into a spinning wheel kick. It looks like Juventud has finally found his groove.

The Finish

In order to remain in control, Juvi takes quite a few high risks from the top. Most connect perfectly. But his good fortune seemingly runs out when he tries a high cross body. Dupree catches him in mid-air, and squeezes down on a bearhug. Juvi grabs his head, and tries a DDT. In an attempt to break free from the DDT Dupree backs Juvi into a corner. The referee, who was watching the action from the corner, is now trapped in a spot he does not want to be. It gets even more uncomfortable when Dupree starts dropping shoulder rams into Juventud’s gut. The referee is quickly down, which brings out Sylvain Greiner. He gets right into the ring, and a double team ensues. La Resistance ends their attack by delivering Demolition’s old move, with Greiner dropping the elbow from the second turnbuckle. Greiner rolls out, and gets the referee revived. Dupree acts beaten up, as he crawls over to Juvi, and puts just one arm on his chest. 1-2-3!!

Winner: Rene Dupree

OR:73

CR:71

MQ:75

After the match however, Dupree seems just fine. He and Greiner walk backstage looking very pleased with their actions tonight.

Backstage we get a peek into the Cabinet locker room. JBL and Orlando Jordon are talking about the events of the last few weeks.

JBL- You know Orlando, at one time I was king here on Smackdown. I was the longest reigning champion, I had tons of cash, and I had the respect of my peers. Now thanks to John Cena, I’ve got close to nothing.

OJ- Don’t worry boss, you’ll be back on top soon.

JBL- You damn right I’ll be back on top. I’m going to start by looking for some new secretaries of defense. I need more people watching my back! Then, once Teddy Long names me #1 Contender, I’ll get another shot at Cena.

OJ- Then what?

JBL- Haha, oh Orlando. Then I become WWE Champion. Then I’ll be known once again as the wrestling…god!

After the break, Teddy Long announces the #1 Contender!

OR:65

John Bradshaw Layfield lost 3 points of overness from this segment.

As Smackdown returns, GM Long is standing in the ring. His music stops, and he speaks.

Long- Right here right now I announce the new numba one contender! Well sort of. Ya see I’ve decided that something as important as the #1 Contendership should be decided in the ring. So tonight, in your main event you will see Edge go one on one with…The Undertaker! Holla holla holla!!!

OR:68

Hassan vs. Tajiri

The Start

As Teddy is leaving the ring, the music of Muhammad Hassan begins. He walks to the ring for his match against Tajiri. As he passes Teddy on the ramp, the two meet eye to eye. Then Hassan continues down to the ring. Then the music of the Japanese Buzzsaw Tajiri plays. He walks to the ring, and gets into the ring via leaping over the top rope. The bell sounds, and the two lock up.

Mid Match

Obviously Tajiri has something to prove after losing to Carlito last Sunday. In the early going of this match, he lets his feet do the talking all over Hassan’s body. The vicious kicks leave marks on Hassan’s legs, chest, and back. The pain finally gets to be too much for Hassan, as he drops down from his feet, to his knees. Tajiri sees this as a chance to end the match. He sets up for the Kick Of Death, but Hassan ducks it just in time. As quick as a cat Hassan is back on his feet. He hammers Tajiri with a clothesline to the back of the neck. He then drives the point of his knee into Tajiri’s spine, almost Ric Flair like.

The Finish

Hassan continues with moves directed to the neck. Most are legal, but others use the assistance of the ring ropes. Finally the referee takes things into his own hands. Hassan has Tajiri draped over the second rope throat first, and violating the five second count. The referee forcefully removes Hassan from Tajiri. While the two argue, Tajiri gets his wind back, and charges Hassan. Muhammad sees him coming, catches him, and hits a side walk slam. Then he flip the Buzzsaw unto his back, and locks in the camel clutch. It doesn’t take long before the referee calls the match, saving Tajiri from some permanent damage.

Winner: Muhammad Hassan

OR:73

CR:71

Following the match, Hassan boots Tajiri out of the ring, and demands a mic. His music quiets down as Tony Chimmel gives him the mic.

Hassan- I can’t believe what Teddy Long did to me! He kept me off the Great American Bash card! Well let me tell you something Long. I hope you know what your doing as far as my Summer Slam match goes. If you think your going to bring someone in who you think will rip me apart, think again! I hope you saw what I just did to Tajiri, because I’ll be doing a lot more of it until I get the respect I deserve!

He drops the mic, raises his arms in victory, and steps through the ropes as the fans let him have it. We then cut to another commercial break.

OR:79

~~

Booker T vs. JBL

The Start

Can You Dig It SUCKAAAA!! Out comes the Book Man first. He does his pose, with red pyro going off behind him. The fans are eating this up, as the go crazy for Booker. He enters the ring, and now we hear the beginning to JBL’s theme. It takes a little while, but soon here comes The Cabinet’s limo. The driver gets out, and lets JBL and Orlando out. JBL looks less than pleased. He yells at the driver for being late. Then he screams at Orlando for no reason at all. He then heads to the ring. He gets into the ring slowly, and yells for the bell to be rung.

Mid Match

The less than perfect attitude JBL came into this match with does him no favors early on. He ran right into Booker with thinking, and was met by a spin kick sending him down hard. Booker followed this up by chopping JBL’s chest raw in the corner. After the fourth chop Booker turns and plays to the crowd. When he turns back around to JBL, he is met by a thumb to the eye. The referee warns JBL, but Bradshaw doesn’t hear a word he says. He instead clubs away on Booker’s upper body. Starting from his face and ending with a near low blow. Booker has been reduced to his knees, and JBL takes a run off the ropes. JBL goes for the Clothesline From Hell, but Booker sees it, and ducks it. Bradshaw stops himself dead in his own tracks and adjusts his clothesline right into the back of Booker’s neck. Cover, 1-2-kick out!

The Finish

The shot to the neck seemed to slow Booker down quite a bit, and he is never really able to rebound. One thing is able to do, is kick out of everything JBL throws at him. Even a second Clothesline From Hell can’t keep the Booker Man down. JBL is flipping out. He goes to outside and grabs a chair. The referee goes down as quick as he can, trying to get the chair away from JBL. Booker comes outside, and takes JBL down. The fight as become almost too intense to handle. The referee can’t control it, and apparently neither can JBL. As Booker turns, JBL grabs the chair again. Booker turns back just in time to get the chair square in the head. The referee now has no choice but to call for the bell.

Winner Via DQ: Booker T

OR:79

CR:82

After the match, we cut to what seems to be the darkest, dimmest place in the building. The Undertaker is there, working on a wooden coffin. He looks up from his work, and speaks.

UT: Edge…last Sunday I showed you what the creatures of the night are capable of. And tonight, I do it again. After tonight, I become #1 contender. And you…you will rest…in…peace…

‘Taker lowers his head, and continues his work. We hear the loud thud of his hammering on the coffin, as the camera fades to Smackdown’s final commercial break.

Edge vs. The Undertaker

The Start

Smoke fills the entrance way, and out runs Edge. With briefcase in hand, he plays to the crowd as they hammer him with insults, and chants. He slides into the ring, and waits for the Dead Man. The lights in the arena go out, and the smoke is now floating at the bottom of the entrance way. Out comes Taker, looking as only he can. He slowly makes his way to the ring, and raises the lights as he makes it to the steps.

Mid-Match

In the early going Undertaker uses his supernatural ability of no selling to scare Edge half to death. At one point, Undertaker sends both Edge and the official to the outside in fear. But as Edge reenters the ring, he chop blocks Undertaker’s left knee. Now Edge is targeted in on Undertaker’s injured left wheel. He sets Undertaker’s ankle on the bottom rope, and then sits on his knee. This moves gains a few WOOOS from the crowd. Undertaker is quickly drug to the centre of the ring, and Edge’s backwards Figure Four submission is locked in. After a long struggle, Edge realizes this move isn’t getting the job done. So he switches to a Sharpshooter. Even this can’t keep Taker down. He powers out, sending Edge to the outside. In an act of total disregard for himself, Undertaker sends himself over the top rope, taking Edge out in the process!

The Finish

The action finds its way back to the ring. Even with the bad wheel, Undertaker is able to give Edge quite a beating. However, Edge soon returns to what brought him to the dance, that being working over Undertaker’s bad knee. Like the Supernatural beast he is, Undertaker just wouldn’t stay down. Grabbing Edge by the throat, he lifted him up, hitting the chokeslam! The thumb over the throat then signaled the end was near. Suddenly, the lights in the arena went out. For several seconds there was nothing to be seen, but just heard. A massive thud was heard, then the lights came back on with Edge’s arm over Undertaker. The referee isn’t sure if he should count the fall or not, 1-2-3!

Winner: Edge

The Undertaker didn't really sell very much, which hurt the match rating.

Kemper Arena, Kansas City, Missouri

Live from The Kemper Arena in Kansas City Missouri The Great American Bash kicks off live on pay per view! Pyro shoots from the impressive looking set, as we zoom to Michael Cole and The Coach at ringside.

Cole- Welcome everyone to The Great American Bash!! Tonight promises to be a great night for the new and improved Smackdown roster. The draft changed WWE forever, and I believe tonight is Smackdown’s first chance since the draft to show what we’re made of! I mean where else are getting a Last Man Standing match tonight Coach?

Coach- Your right monkey, Smackdown is without a doubt the best wrestling today. We have Edge and Christian, who I know will wipe the mat with those old men tonight! But you know what else Cole? Smackdown has the best color man in the business today too! Me!

Suddenly some familiar music plays. The camera zooms in on the entrance way, and out comes Tazz!!! He stomps his way to the announce table, and grabs The Coach by the scruff of his neck, and forcefully removes him from his chair. Coach runs scared, leaving Tazz to take a seat beside Cole.

Cole- Partner, what are you doing here?

Tazz- Teddy Long did me the biggest favor he could have. He got me out of that hell hole known as Raw, and back here where I belong! Now let’s call some action!

Melina shouts out orders to her guys, as they lay a monster beating on Psychosis. They set him up for the snap shot, but are sent into retreat by Juventud running down with a steel chair in tow. MNM bail as Juvi leans on the ropes screaming in Spanish. The fans go crazy for the Mexicools as Psychosis makes it to his feet. That’s just a little bit of what led to this match tonight.

Cruiserweight Title Match: Paul London© vs. Mikey Whipreck

The Start

As we return from break action kicks off here on Smackdown with a Cruiserweight Title match. Whipreck, the heavier of the two has trouble in the early going keeping up with Paul London’s agility. But soon, Paul is knocked down to size with a vicious clothesline while attempting a shot from the top turnbuckle.

Mid-Match

Due to that clothesline really taking it out of London, he is forced to take his lumps courtesy of Whipreck for several minutes. Mikey totally changes the style of the match from high flying and risk taking, to a ground and pound he feels more at home with. In fact most of his attack were axehandle and elbow drops to London’s lower back. Soon Paul can’t even lift himself from the mat. This is when Whipreck feels it’s time to end the match off with a victory.

The Finish

Whipreck surprises everyone by heading up to, with London face down on the mat, looking as though he could be pinned right then and there. No one is quite sure what Whipreck is thinking here, as he perched up there so a while, making sure he has his balance right. He then leaps off, going for a legdrop on the back off London’s neck. Just in the nick of time however, London rolls out of the way, and Whipreck comes crashing down. London seems to have gained a second wind, as he runs off the ropes, and smashes Whipreck’s face, who is still in a sitting position, with a dropkick. The sound echos throughout the building, and the fans let out groans as if the feel the pain. Speaking of which, London’s back is still in lots of it, but he is able to climb up to the top. He hits his 450 splash, and makes the cover. 1-2-3!

Winner: Still Cruiserweight Champion, Paul London

CR: 59

MQ: 79

London picks himself up, and screams for a mic. When he gets it, his music stops, and he has something to say.

London- Billy! You want a shot at this? This Sunday, bring whatever you got, and we’ll finish this once and for all!

Out from the back comes Kidman with a smirk on his face. He has a mic in his hand, and now it’s his turn.

Kidman- London, obviously your not playing with a full deck. You just got your back broken by Whipreck, and now you want a match with the greatest Gruiserweight of them all? You’re on! I’d love an easy victory, and a trip to hospital for you!

It seems both of these men have let their hatred for each other lead to a verbal contract for a match this Sunday!

OR: 59

We then head backstage where in the interview area we have Todd Grisham with Muhammad Hassan.

Grisham- Muhammad last week you had a bit of a run in with Mark Jindrak. Tonight you hope to make an example out of him, and further your career here on Smackdown.

Hassan- You know Todd you’re right. Tonight I make an example out of Jindrak. This is yet another chance for the great Muhammad Hassan to prove just how great he is.

Grisham- Are you hope that your performance tonight will get you a match at the Great American Bash this Sunday?

Hassan- You know what?! I’ve been overlooked way too long to receive anything less. If Theodore Long doesn’t give me a match, there will be hell to pay!

With that said Hassan walks off leaving Todd to stand there alone. This leads Smackdown into another commercial break.

OR:

Mark Jindrak vs. Muhammad Hassan

The Start

As Smackdown returns, Jindrak is already in the ring awaiting Hassan’s entrance into the arena. Soon Hassan’s music hits, and he heads to the ring. He stops and raises his arms, and looks to the heavens before stepping through the ropes. Before Hassan can even get all his stuff together, Jindrak wastes no time jumping him, and getting this match started on an unfair playing field.

Mid Match

Jindrak’s assault continues for quite some time, he refused to let Hassan get any kind of offence. He sends Hassan over the top rope with an atomic drop that had some major force behind it. However, he is able to beat the count early, making his way to the apron, breaking the count. This doesn’t stop Jindrak, as he walks over to the downed Hassan, but gets thrown through the ropes by Hassan, who seemed to be playing dead. The action then spilled out to the floor, where Muhammad used everything he could get away with to wear down his rival. He then tossed him back inside, to try and obtain a victory. However, only a 2 is scored, Jindrak shoots his shoulder off the mat.

The Finish

It seems like Hassan can’t keep this match under wraps, as once again Jindrak takes over. Now taking a second wind, he is even more relentless. He is a house of fire who pounds Hassan to the point where only the ropes are holding him up. Jindrak decides to finish this off with a cross body. As he is in mid-air Hassan falls. Whether he collapse, or knew Jibdrak was coming is debatable, but none the less, it benefits him. Because Jindrak nailed the ropes throat first, and is favoring his neck. Hassan recognizes this, and begins to use the second rope to choke Jindrak out. At the four count, Muhammad picks Mark up, and hits a swinging neck breaker. Then it’s pretty much over, when the camel clutch is locked in dead centre of the ring. Jindrak can’t take it and waves for the ref to ring the bell.

Winner: Muhammad Hassan

CR: 69

MQ: 78

OR: 65

Backstage we see Edge and Christian hanging out in their dressing room, watching Smackdown on a TV in their room.

Edge-You know I don’t blame Hassan one bit. I hate Americans too. Especially these Kentucky hillbillies! You know why?

Christian-Well I thought I smelled ass when I came to the building today. Is it because they smell?

Edge-The ass smell was me I think. Damn that KFC! But I was thinking…it’s because their not Canadian

Christian-Yeah Canucks rule! You know who else rules?

Edge-Who?

Christian-Us! You know why?

Edge-Because we’re Canadian?

Christian-Well that too, but it’s really because we’re taking out Michaels and Undertaker this Sunday!

Edge-Plus, you’re gonna win the US Title tonight from Booker T!

Christian-Then I’m totally changing it to the Canadian Title!

Edge-Then you can put a Canadian flag sticker on it!

Christian-That’s a great idea! That’s never been done before! We reek of awesomeness!

They continue talking like idiots as the camera fades.

Tajiri & The Mexicools vs. Carlito & MNM

The Start

Tajiri heads down to the ring to join his partners The Mexicools, who are just getting off their lawn mowers. Then out comes Carlito, with bodyguard Matt Morgan in toe. He stands behind Morgan, staring up at Tajiri, who he hanging over the ropes. Finally, the red carpet is out and the threesome that is MNM make their flashy entrance. During this time Cole announces that this Sunday MNM will defend their titles against The Mexicools. Which makes this match even more entertaining.

Mid Match

Mercury starts with Juvi. Then as Juvi cleans house with him, Nitro is tagged in. He charges at Juventud, but is hit with a back body drop. Nitro backs into no man’s land, holding his back in pain. Juvi tags in his Mexicool partner Psychosis, and throws Nitro into the ropes. He is hoping that Psychosis can hit some sort of attack, however Carlito blindly tags himself in, and takes Psychosis down before damage can be done. As CCC kicks away at Psychosis you can clearly see that Tajiri is growing anxious.

The Finish

Throughout the rest of the match, the heels take turns beating on Psychosis, always keeping someone fresh. Psychosis is very weak because of the beating he has taken, but he is still able to muster a desperation dropkick to the jaw of Nitro. This results in a race to the two’s respective corners. First Carlito is tagged in, and he fears right away that Tajiri could be tagged in. He tries his best to stop Psychosis, but his nightmare comes true, and in comes the Buzzsaw! He unloads on Carlito, and as MNM tries to get involved, The Mexicools don’t allow it. The two tag teams fight out unto the floor, as Tajiri continues his assault he has been building up while standing on the apron. He even takes a shot at Matt Morgan who gets on the apron for just a brief second. Carlito is out in the middle of the ring on his knees. Tajiri take one look at him, and nails him with the Buzzsaw kick, damn near killing him. The cover, 1-2-3!

Winners: The Mexicools & Tajiri

CR: 66

MQ: 81

Backstage Todd Grisam is standing outside Edge and Christian’s locker room, apparently awaiting an interview with one of them. We can hear parts of their conversation, which is still on how cool Canada is. Then one voice gets louder, as he approaches the door. The door opens, and Christian steps out.

Grisham-Chri…

Christian-Holy Chumpstain you scared me! Never do that again to the Captain!

Grisham- Ahh sorry captain…Tonight Christian you have the chance to take away Booker T’s US Title. Then go on to pull double duty at the Bash, facing Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and Randy Orton!

Christian-Music to my ears. Don’t you worry young peep, your hero will make you proud, and take that punk Booker T to school tonight like only I can!

Christian leaves Todd, and heads to the ring. His match is next!

US Title Match: Booker T© vs. Christian

The Start

Christian is out first by himself, as Edge is shown in the back watching on. As he enters the ring, out comes the US Champ Booker T! His signature pyro blasts behind him, as he gives the raise the roof sign. He continues into the ring and hands over his title to the referee, who after showing it to both men, holds it up for all fans to see. The bell rings, and the match is on!

Mid Match

In the beginning stages it stays pretty evenly based with both trying to gain control. But neither was willing to give it up. Thanks to a few thumbs directly into Booker’s eyes, Christian eventually turns the tide. He stands behind Booker who has been blinded, grabs with dreads, and drives Booker’s spin into his own knee. He then drives his knee into Booker’s lower back, who is face down on the mat. Christian then mocks The Book by staring at his hand with a crazed look in his eyes. By doing this, Christian turns his back to the champion, and is scooped up into a pin. 1-2-kick out!

The Finish

Christian feels very robbed, and lets the referee know about it. However there’s nothing the ref can do about, but tell Christian to get back to his match. Christian would have been smart to listen, because it seems Booker is getting his wind back. Finally Christian turns himself around right into Booker T, who sets up a Book End. However Christian is able to fight it off with multiple elbow shots to the ear. Booker is forced back holding his ear in pain. Christian takes a run at Booker, and runs right into a super kick. Then he goes up top, looking to put this thing to an end. Christian is up, turning around, as Booker flies. Christian sees him, and boots him in the gut. Then it looks like the Unprettier is coming, but Booker shrugs it off, and hits the Book End when Christian turns around. Cover, 1-2-3!

Winner: Still US Champ, Booker T

After the match, out comes Legend Killer Randy Orton. He doesn’t even go to the ring however. He and Booker just lock eyes, and burn holes into each other’s souls. Then we cut to the backstage area.

The WWE United States title has gained in image

~~

Backstage Todd Grisham, who has been hard at work tonight, is standing by with JBL and his Chief of staff Orlando Jordon.

Grisham- I’m standing by with the #1 Contender, and his Chief of staff Orlando Jordon. JBL, this Sunday it’s you and Cena, one more time. The final chapter should be intense!

JBL- Intense Todd? You damn right, this Sunday I make sure John Cena can never again make WWE the dirty place it has become since Wrestlemania! Tonight I gave Mr. Champion just a little taste. It seems I’m the last man standing tonight. This Sunday, you’ll see me standing tall once again. So John, if your watching this somehow, take notes. Because the Dead Man and HBK are going down, just like you this Sunday!

The duo just simply walk away, and heads to the ring ending the interview. Smackdown’s final break is taken. The main event is next up!

The Cabinet vs. Shawn Michaels & The Undertaker

The Start

JBL’s music sounds throughout the arena, as Orlando Jordon walks out from the backstage area. JBL is nowhere in sight, but soon his longhorn limo is. It comes to a stop, Jordon opens the back door, and out comes the man himself. After giving the longhorn sign, they continue to the ring. Then we hear girls screaming their hearts out, as HBK Shawn Michaels makes his entrance. He begins by dancing, then he drops to his knees, and thanks the good lord above, while pyro shoots up behind him. He stands finally, the stops at the ring. The lights go out, and the lighters come out. The bell tolls, and the Dead Man comes out slowly, to meet up with his partner. They look at each other for a split second, then it’s all business!

Mid Match

The match started with all four men in an all out brawl. Then JBL decided to bail out, leaving Jordon by himself. One clothesline by Shawn Michaels later, and The Cabinet are on the outside together. As things begin to look like a match, Michaels starts with Orlando. Jordon pokes Shawn’s eyes to gain control over HBK. From there he took his shots, then tagged in JBL. JBL also took all the cheap shots he could. But no matter how hard he tried, Shawn always kicked out of the counts. Back in comes Jordon, who decides to use his amateur boxing background to keep Shawn grounded. Shawn takes two hard shots to the chin, then ducks a third. Jordon is then nailed with a few closed fists, before being tossed into the ropes. He rebounds just in time to meet up witrh a flying forearm. Nip up by Shawn, and in comes The Undertaker.

The Finish

Jordon tries to tag out, and get JBL in. But the millionaire from NYC wants no part of what ‘Taker is offering. This forces Jordon to fend for himself for several more minutes. But soon he regains control in the match, by taking Undertaker down at the knees. He drops a few elbows to the targeted right knee of ‘Taker, before tagging out to JBL, who now seems more than happy to take over. With his good boot, Taker takes JBL’s head off with one hell of a boot. In a daze, JBL bumps the referee pretty hard, sending him down face first. All hell breaks loose, as Jordon and Michaels find their way into the ring. Taker takes on Jordon, and they spill out of the ring quickly. Then all of the sudden the lights go out. They are out for quite some time, but when they return John Cena is in the ring! A bandaged and bruised Cena gives JBL the “You Can’t See Me” sign, then tells him to turn around. He turns right into a Sweet Chin Music. Cover, 1-2-3! The Cabinet have just been embarrassed beyond belief!

Winners: The Undertaker & Shawn Michaels

MQ: 72

CR: 83

OR:71

Shawn leaves the ring, leaving Cena standing over JBL with a huge smirk on his face. Once again the “You Can’t See Me” sign is given, then Cena tosses up the Word Life, before leaving JBL fuming. What a final speed bump before heading to the Bash this Sunday!
