Re: WWE 2005: A Fresh, New Start
Much appreciated reviews Mac and PatMan. I'll return your review in a day or two Mac. Here's the final SD! before the Rumble. I've created a contest at the end of it, so participate plz. Rumble will be posted on the 25th, btw.
So without any further ado...

WWE SmackDown!
January 27, 2005
Little Rock, Arkansas
(RECAP)
Michael Cole and Tazz welcome us to the show after the opening video and pyro, and discuss the night’s events, including an eight man tag team main event featuring the members of JBL’s Cabinet as well as Kurt Angle {replacing Orlando Jordan} taking on John Cena, The Undertaker, Eddie Guerrero and The Big Show.
This week, The Cabinet begins the show. John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield addresses the crowd, reminding them that he is the greatest thing to ever hit the WWE. He toils on about how John Cena is nothing compared to him, and that Sunday is going to be a day of reckoning for himself for the things he has done in the past few weeks, including defeating the entire Cabinet last week. JBL continues on to say that he has zero chance of defeating him this Sunday, and that it’ll be a cold day in hell when John Cena is better than him…
…this brings out the United States Champion!! The crowd thunders as Cena walks out slowly and stops on the top of the SmackDown! stage. The Doctor says that JBL can talk and talk, but Sunday is when it matters. Going on, he says that he’s never been hungrier for championship gold in his entire life than how hungry he is right now at that moment. He then says that tonight he’s gonna get a taste of what’s to come when the eight man tag match occurs.
JBL asks him why he’s waiting until later, and challenges him to come down to the ring. Cena responds by saying he isn’t dumb, and won’t come down there alone… and he brings out Guerrero and Show – his teammates for later tonight!!! They then charge down to the ring, AND A BRAWL ENSUES!!! The crowd is raucous, egging them on as it’s a 4-on-3 right now. Suddenly, KURT ANGLE runs down to the ring, in defense of the Cabinet!! Angle suplexes each of the 3 men he’ll be facing later on tonight, and lets out an epic roar.
He grabs onto Cena’s ankle, WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT!! The crowd BOOMS, as they turn back on – and THE UNDERTAKER IS IN THE RING!! Taker takes out all the members of the Cabinet with a right hand to each of their faces, and then hits a right hand onto Angle as well. The Cabinet scurries out of the ring, while Angle is left in there!! The Undertaker makes a throat slash gesture, before clutching his neck, AND DROPPING HIM WITH THE CHOKESLAM!!! A purple aura hits the arena, as Taker drops down and raises his arm up with his knee bent, as The Cabinet watches on in fright of what could come later tonight.
{Commercial Break}
We return, and in the back Kurt Angle is FURIOUS. He asks the members of The Cabinet just what the hell they were thinking by leaving him in the ring, but they all ignore him! Angle slaps on the wall and continues to demand an answer, but they all head into their locker room. Kurt kicks the door, and then walks on.
In the final qualifying match for the Royal Rumble, Paul London defeated Chavo Guerrero @ 6:15 with the 450 Splash, as London is headed to his first Rumble Match.
{Commercial Break}
Returning, a tag team tables match occurs between Rob Van Dam & Rey Mysterio, and a surprise opponent named by The Dudley Boyz. The Dudleys came out before the match began, and brought out the team … OF THE IMPACT PLAYERS!! JUSTIN CREDIBLE AND LANCE STORM, ALONG WITH DAWN MARIE come out to a ROCKING ovation from the Little Rock crowd, as Tazz and Cole can’t believe what they’re seeing.
Van Dam can’t believe it either, as they walk down to the ring. The two teams put on an excellent match, reminiscent to the ECW days of old, and the Tag Team Champs prevail!! However, after the match was over, The Dudleys hit the ring with the Champions’ back turned, and hit the 3-D on Mysterio as he turned around!!! Van Dam tried to get involved, but The Dudleys wouldn’t let it happen. Bubba then went to the outside, and brought in a table, as D-Von worked on him in the corner.
The team set it up in the corner, as D-Von then put Van Dam up on Bubba’s shoulders as he went up to the top rope, AND BUBBA POWERBOMBED VAN DAM THROUGH THE DAMN TABLE!!!
{Commercial Break}
A Carlito video promo airs, once again hyping his return this Sunday at the Royal Rumble.
In the ring now, Torrie Wilson was shooting off t-shirts to members of the crowd. While doing so, Mark Jindrak of the Angle Alliance came out and said that the people of Little Rock were illiterate idiots and didn’t deserve to see a woman like her. He then proceeded to ask her to come backstage with him, but Torrie would slap him!! Jindrak went to go after her, when BOOKER T’S music hits, and Jindrak waits for him in the ring as Torrie gets out. Booker comes in and as he comes inside, Jindrak leaves!! The crowd boos, but Booker gets on the mic, and challenges Jindrak to a match!
Jindrak would accept and the two put on a decent match. Jindrak wins @ 8:21 via hook of the tights. Afterwards, Jindrak got on the mic on the outside, and said that the winner of the Royal Rumble was going to be him, because he’s still the ‘Reflection of Perfection,’ and “perfection never has any blemishes.”
{Commercial Break}
A backstage segment airs with John Cena’s team {without The Undertaker}, and all seem prepared to go for later on tonight.
Billy Kidman takes on Funaki in a Cruiserweight Championship Match next. Kidman looked as if he would prevail numerous times in the match, but Funaki won after Kidman missed the SSP, and Funaki just went in for the pin!
{Commercial Break}
In the main event, the team of Cena, Taker, Guerrero and Show would defeat The Cabinet and Kurt Angle after Cena hit the F-U on Doug Basham. After the match, JBL got in the ring, and tried hitting Cena with the belt, but Cena saw it coming, and JBL merely stalled. The two stared one another down inside the ring, as Cole and Tazz began giving the very hard sell for Sunday, as the broadcast came to a close.
