Hi, Fan Nation! Another pretty eventful Smackdown this week! Tonight's show starts with Smackdown's General Manager on the Titantron talking about how Edge had changed her. That the Vickie we've seen over the past few months isn't the real Vickie. She then goes on to say that she wants to apologize to the Undertaker and that she wants the fans to give him a standing ovation. You don't need to tell the WWE fans to give Undertaker a standing ovation. Everytime his theme music hits, the fans are always on their feet!
Good to see that Tazz is still color commentator for Smackdown. I'm not sure if I missed it somewhere or if we are just supposed to assume it but is this Striker on ECW and Tazz on Smackdown permanent now? I hope so! I love it!
First match of the night is a Divas match with Maria facing Natalya. I have to admit it, I'm not a fan of Maria but she did a great job tonight. She has this arrogance to her now that I'm not so fond of but if it helps her to continue giving us matches she gave tonight, I hope she sticks with it! The match was going fine until Maria did the Bronco Buster. I HATE that move! It is so dumb. It's on my list of stupid moves...up there with Five-Knuckle Shuffle and The People's Elbow. Hmmm...list of stupid or uneffective moves...sound like blog material? What do you think? The match ends in a disqualification when Maryse comes down to seek revenge on Maria for apparently breaking her nose a few weeks ago. Of course, Michelle McCool comes down to help Maria. It looked like Michelle was having a little trouble running in those boots. Oh and by the way...if everyone here on Fan Nation has such hatred for Michelle McCool, then why is it every time she is on TV, she gets the best fan response than any Diva? Take that Michelle haters! :)
Backstage segment showing Vickie with Chavo, Bam, Curt and Zack...are they still called "La Familia"? Anyway...Big Show walks up and is soooo excited about the Championship Scramble matches tonight only to find out he isn't in any of them. Poor Show...did you see his face? I wanted to jump through the TV and give him a gigantic hug!
Next match was a Battle Royal to qualify for the Championship Scramble. The participants are newcomers Scotty Goldman and Ryan Braddrock, Armando Estrada, THE Brian Kendrick, Funaki (are you kidding, he still has a job there?) Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder, Super Crazy, Jimmy Wang Yang and Vladimir Koslov. This match ended in a HUGE surprise. Most thought Koslov would win with no problem. Turns out, he was the FIRST one eliminated!!! Then out goes Goldman. Big Show jumps in the ring and starts eliminating people left and right! As he throws Kendrick out, Ezekial catches him over his shoulder. Big Show leaves after he eliminates them all and then Zeke puts Brian back in the ring and Kendrick wins the match!!! This was a huge surprise! Then of course he started that stupid dance. Ugh...it makes me embarrased for him!
Another R-Truth promo! Finally, he is debuting next week! I am sooooo excited! He is awesome!
Another qualifying match with MVP vs Festus. I was distracted near the end of this match as Festus kept pulling up his tights. It was so annoying. Anyway...this match was mostly MVP working on Festus's shoulder. Boring.... Then they both end up on the outside and the ref is about to count them out and MVP runs over and kicks Jesse in the face distracting Festus and getting back in the ring in time to have Festus counted out. Festus jumps in the ring as the bell rings and he goes back to his calm side. MVP waves a hand in front of Festus...noticing he is "out of it", MVP runs and kicks him in the face and over the ropes onto the floor. MVP has qualified...
Next up is Shelton Benjamin vs Finlay. I felt like this match lasted forever so I kinda lost interest in it! Near the beginning they were rolling around like they were really fightling instead of wrestling. During the match, Finlay was knocked off the top rope onto the floor and it looked like he hit his back really hard on the ring and it also looked like he fell badly on his ankle. I thought he was not going to be able to continue. Later on, Mike Knox came down and grabbed Hornswoggle but he jerked out of his jacket and ran under the ring. He was still able to distract Finlay and Benjamin got the win after hitting Finlay with a "Paydirt". Knox ended up getting in the ring and beating on Finlay. I wish they'd hurry up and put them in an actual match!
Last match of the night we had Jeff Hardy (YAY!) vs Khali (boo!). This was not a really good match. I'm just so bored of Khali! Thankfully Triple H was out there to watch the match as a "guest" commentator. I was surprised to see Hardy hit Khali with a Twist of Fate. Ranjin had to stick his nose in and almost distract Hardy when Triple H jumped up, grabbed Ranjin and punched him in the face! Then he grabbed a chair and hit Khali in the head when the ref was distracted. Jeff was able to hit Khali with a Whisper in the Wind and then a Swanton! 1-2-3! I can't believe that Hardy was able to win! Not that I doubted him but I thought they'd have Khali in to win the title in the Scramble. Phew! Glad that isn't happening!
After a commercial break, Triple H starts to talk about the Championship Scramble when Kenny Dykstra comes out! Ugh! He starts to say that he is tired of nobody taking him seriously when Triple H delivered an awesome Pedigree to Dykstra before grabbing the mic to say "Good to see ya, Kenny" then dropping the mic on him. HAHAHA Triple H, you made my day!
Lastly, Vickie Guerrero is out in the ring with Chavo, Bam, Curt and Zack to apologize to The Undertaker. Undertaker comes down and Vickie gets on her knees and asks forgiveness from The Undertaker when he says "Look at me woman!" hahahahaha He says that he isn't there looking for an apology...he wants her soul! Oh my goodness. I love the Undertaker...he's pretty much the coolest person to step into a wrestling ring but that line was a little dumb in my opinion! haha He then takes out the "Family" while Vickie made a break for the exit. haha Did she really think The Undertaker would come out and say "Yes, Vickie. I accept your apology" and nicely leave the ring!? I DON'T THINK SO! haha
