"Let's not forget all the memorable moments that brought us to the 10th anniversary of Smackdown that aired last night. And how about the new opening and theme music? Pretty catchy tune if I do say so myself. There was a huge party going on backstage with Superstars from Raw, ECW and Smackdown. After all, some stars made their very first WWE appearence on Smackdown, like John Cena on June 27, 2002, who confronted Kurt Angle and told him that he was there because he had ruthless aggression and **** slapped him across the face. That moment and many more is on the 100 Greatest Moments of Smackdown DVD set."
Quick note: Here is all the happenings I happened to catch during the party: How about when Vickie Guerrero-- yes, damn Vickie Guerrero introduced her new boyfriend, Eric Escobar to the WWE Universe, and also giving us another earful. GOD! Vickie, if you want to impress me, you gotta do two things. No. 1: No being annoying to the WWE Universe. No. 2: No saying "EXCUSE ME!!!!" every chance you get. I, along with the WWE Universe is so damn tired of hearing it week after week. But I hope Eric Escobar is as good as he says he is, and I'm lookin' forward to seeing what he can do in the ring. CM Punk tried but failed to have alcohol NOT play a part in the party, but you were way off of the money, Punk! Michael Cole, who was also a key part of many of the first few years on Smackdown, got into into a little trouble at the party, when he consumed a wee bit too much, and passed out in a sloppy mess, having Chris Jericho and the Big Show puke in front of the party guests, also having Joey Styles utter his famous "Oh, my god!" Vintage Joey Styles-- LOL MVP and the World's Strongest Man invited a lot of WWE Superstars and Divas-- into their VIP Lounge, with the exception of Zack Ryder, and I can't really blame them for that. Also, we saw Sgt. Slaughter and Iron Sheik relive their USA-Iran rivalry, and I thought we were gonna see them come to blows, but a sandwich caught in the Sheik's throat stopped it, before Hurricane Helms came to the rescue. And how about Yoshi Tatsu, Kung Fu Naki and Jillian in a rendition of Shawn Micheals' "Sexy Boy"? Damn, man. With all this going on, I'm surprised Ron Simmons wasn't there at the party. DAMN! XD The party ended with Drew McIntyre spoiling the party, and having R-Truth attack him and also messing up the Smackdown cake in the process. Still though, what a party, and it was one hell of an honor to see and be a part of it as it happened. Back to you, Rob!
"Batista was set for one on one action last night as he took on the Big Red Monster, Kane. Batista, as you know, is teaming up with Rey Mysterio to challenge Chris Jericho and the Big Show for the Unified WWE Tag Team Championships at Hell In a Cell this Sunday. The Animal and the master of the 619 are no strangers to being tag team partners. You may remember a moment from Smackdown, on December 19, 2005, when the 2 beat MNM for the WWE Tag Team Championship, and dedicated it to the memory of Eddie Guerrero.
"Kane went for a sidewalk slam, and goes for the cover and only gets a 2 count. Kane continued to have his way with the Animal, but just when Kane was ready for the chokeslam, Batista nailed Kane with the Batista Bomb and only got a 2 count. Batista once again countered another chokeslam and nailed him once again with his Batista Bomb and finally got the 3 count.
"I had mentioned earlier that Batista and Rey Mysterio dedicated their winning their Tag Team Championship from 2005 to Eddie Guerrero. Click on WWE.com to watch their tribute to Eddie Guerrero from last night. Believe me when I say, that it was well worth it being put together.
"In Tag Team action, which had to be a preview of what's to come this Sunday, the Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison and the United States Champion, Kofi Kingston took on the Miz and Dolph Ziggler.
"For the first time since the draft this past year, the Miz and Morrison were back in the ring together. When they came face to face, they were not talking about old times at all.
"Ziggler had himself tagged in the match and the Miz was ready to slingshot Kingston into Ziggler, but Kingston gave him a shot for his troubles. Kingston tried to tag in Morrison but Ziggler moved him back, and continued his onslaught. Afterwards, Ziggler tagged in the Miz and Ziggler told him to finish him off.
"Kingston went after the Miz and missed. Then Kingston tagged in his partner, Morrison, but at the same time, the Miz tagged in Ziggler and the 2 went at it as if they didn't want to wait until this Sunday. Then the Miz tried distracting Morrison, but Kingston went after him and the 2 were going at it outside the ring. Morrison tried finishing off Ziggler, but it was Ziggler finishing off Morrison with his hard-hitting neckbreaker he calls the Zig-Zag, making he and the Miz the winners of the match.
"FINALLY THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO SMACKDOWN!!!!!!!!!
"That's right, Dwayne Johnson had a special message for the WWE Universe back when he was the Rock, but for everybody in the WWE Universe, he was and will always be known as the Rock.
"He talked about the past 10 years of Smackdown. He even hinted about guest hosting Raw perhaps, and that would be a Raw that even the NFL would tune in to see and not give a **** as to what's going on in the 45-yard line, if you catch my drift.
"The WWE Women's Championship was at stake in a Lumberjack match which really should have been called a Lumberjill match as the champion, Michelle McCool defended against Melina.
"Melina was kicked out of the ring and her friends were going to put her back in the ring, but McCool wanted to do that herself. Melina came back and gave McCool a one-woman flapjack and only got a 2 count.
"Jillian Hall tried grabbing the leg of Melina and she turns her attention to Jillian.This led to one hell of a catfight outside the ring. Melina was ready to finish off McCool but was knocked down to the top rope by the Glamazon. I'm Sure that you guys remember the history between these 2.
"McCool finished Melina off with the Faithbreaker to get the win and she retains the WWE Women's Championship.
"It was built up as the biggest 8 Man Tag Team match in Smackdown history:
John Cena
The Undertaker
Degeneration X
------VS.--------
CM Punk
Randy Orton
The Legacy
"This match alone had Hell In a Cell implacations going into this Sunday.
"I'm not going to lie to you, but I've seen some hard-fought matches in my time, but this, in my view, was the hardest fought ever.
"CM Punk and Triple H were going at it like crazy 'till the Game tagged in the Undertaker and Punk tagged in Orton because he wanted no part of the Undertaker[chicken!!!!] The Undertaker goes to work on Orton with a series of blows. Orton came back for a few seconds 'till the Undertaker locked In Hell's Gate but was saved by Ted Dibiase, and the Game came after him.
"All hell broke loose, like, I had a feeling that it was going to happen. Then all of a sudden, Randy Orton was trapped in the ring all alone with the Undertaker, Cena and DX. Orton was looking for a way out, but got Tombstoned by the Undertaker and gets the pinfall."
All in all, awesome show! See you all tomorrow with the Top 50 Countdown!:D
