Basham Brothers def. Eddie Guerrero & Booker T by DQ to retain the WWE Tag Team Titles (Eddie was caught using the tag belt)

JBL was pissed off at Angle and claimed he would never do such a thing himself.
Big Show was waiting by the door to the parking lot for when Angle arrives.

Scotty Too Hotty def. Akio to qualify for the Rumble

Carlito came out to talk about his petition until Heidenreich made his way out. Heidenreich signed the petition and Carlito took it back and left. Heidenreich talks about how he also thinks Theodore Long is unfair and how he can't stand the 'casket'. Undertaker shows up on the titantron with a casket by him, gives his speech which freaks out Heidenreich once he says "Rest In Peace..".

John Cena def. Rene Dupree to qualify for the Rumble
Kenzo Suzuki attacked Cena after the match

Rey Mysterio def. Chavo Guerrero to qualify for the Rumble

Kurt Angle came through the crowd and called out to Joy. He read her an apology speech and knew the Big Show was waiting by the curtain. Big Show came out and Kurt made like he was going to fight him but changed his mind. JBL and his cabinet stops Kurt at the entranceway and tells him he is going to get what he deserves as well as JBL meaning that they are both going after the Big Show. JBL's Cabinet and Kurt's stable all ganged up on Big Show, Show was able to power out all 7 men but they were still too much for them. Kurt and JBL smashed Show's head with a chair and after with the steel steps. Show was left in ring out and busted open.

Theodore Long came out after the tapings and announced the bonus non-televised handicap casket match.
Undertaker def. JBL & Orlando Jordan


Looks like the Big Show isn't Superman this week. The last two weeks he gets hit in the back with a chair and doesn't even flinch. I have no idea what the deal is with that.

Ugg.. show doesnt work as a face AT ALL. Its not any fun to root for the guy who should obviously win.. you wanna root for the little guy who shouldnt have a prayer against him. Or at the very least a complete bad ass who is a cocky motherfucker (Rock, Goldberg, Austin, hopefully Batista) The Angle/JBL screwing each other was great and set up a solid Triple Threat match where everyone hated everyone else.. and then they go and ruin it by having JBL and Angle team up? Plus why does Angle turn on JBL so fast? Remember when Angle was killed by Big Show because JBL and Angle tried to use Show to set up Eddie? Remember when Angle was doing everything he could to keep the strap on JBL? Its like the WWE hopes to God we all have a 1 month attention span.

I hope JBL doesnt drop the strap yet... the person who finnaly takes it from him is going to be over HUGE with the crowd. They can use that to build a new star.. or put Cena on top of the world... giving it to Big Show would be a mistake... luckily I dont see them ending such a long title reign this close to WM21. I think he holds on until then...

Other than that the entire smackdown show seems to be comprised of throwing together random matches week in and week out for no reason at all. No stories, no heat, no nothin. Obviously Carlito getting hurt is stalling the US championship... and RVD getting hurt has put the tag division in the same situation... and putting the belt on FUNAKI is killing off that division (Im pretty sure its soley on velocity at this point).. Heidenreich is at least entertaining... hopefully taker does the job here.

The random booking is killing SD right now.. and Raw would suck too if it wasnt for THE POWER OF DAVE.

To me, it looks like Show is being set up to be what he has beenin the past, a interum champ. They don't want to have Cena defeat JBL directly, so have Show beat him, then have Cena beat Show in March. Everything I have read points to Cena winning the strap in March or April.

 

[Hollywood]

One thing about Show is expect the unexpected. He beat Hollywood Hogan within what, his first month in WCW to win the title? He beat Austin and Foley in a triple threat (I believe) to win his first WWE title. Then broke Lesnar's win streak to recapture the title. He's just set up to win unexpectadly a lot of times.

 

[Raw64life]

Cena vs Show at Wrestlemania would be terrible. How do I know this? It happened last year.

 

[Minotauro]

Big Show made a huge mistake shaving his head. He looks about a million times cooler with long hair. Right now, with the bald head, he looks like a gigantic round baby.

Did you see what he looked like when he came back a few months ago? He was going bald pretty badly.

Really?

Either way, that didn't exactly stop Shawn Michaels. Then again, Michael's piece or whatever it is tends to look pretty ridiculous when it's soaked with blood at every other PPV.

 

[cs060mk2]

Cena is the most pathetic wrestler I have seen. A white "gangsta" rapper who wrestle in baggy shorts, is that cool ?

 

[Brian Fellows]

It was cool when he was a heel and his matches didnt completely suck in the ring. Now he finishes every line with the stupid high pitched voice and licks the chode of every fan in the arena. It kinda makes me sick. At one time Orton/Cena was looking like a dream match. But Randy continues to improve while John just gets worse and worse.

I'd rather they just kept Bradshaw champ for another year. He's funny and is a better worker than Cena.

 

[cs060mk2]

I think JBL is fun. I find his grimace with eyes wide open funny when Undertaker or someone else comes and threatens him. Would make a great avatar!

 

[Hollywood]

Has there been a terrorist attack while JBL has been WWE Champ? I think not.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

But Randy continues to improve while John just gets worse and worse.

I swear to God, I have never seen someone punch their way through matches more than Randy Orton. Yes, I'm remembering Rock and Stone Cold. Orton is worse, and he can't even do a good face comeback like Rock and Stone Cold could. Can anyone here ever remember a time since his main event push that Orton has done anything outside of punches, clotheslines, kicks, that gay neckbreaker, and the RKO?

Cena is worse though. Jesus Christ. JBL should be champion forever.

 

[Kenobi]

I wanna know why Bob Holly is getting a better push than RVD is. What the hell is that?

People LIKE JBL as champ? What the crap?

 

[Brian Fellows]

I swear to God, I have never seen someone punch their way through matches more than Randy Orton.

I have his name is Edge. Ok he does kick and elbow too but thats about it till het gets to that girly ass spear.

 

[StoOgE]

Orton is no Hogan when it comes to shitty comebacks.. or Ultimate Warrior. Ugg.

But lets not kid ourselves, the top of the foodchain in the WWE has nothing to do with how good you wrestle.. but at least Orton is entertaining. Cena sucks.
