Vengeance 6/25/06 Recap

In the opening contest, Johnny Nitro defeated Carlito and Shelton Benjamin to win the Intercontinental Championship. After the match, Nitro announced that he would become the greatest IC Champion of all time.
In the second match of the night, Kane defeated the Imposter Kane. After the match, Kane unmasked the imposter and it was revealed to be former SmackDown! superstar Heidenreich. Kane then proceeded to grab a chair from ringside but before he could proceed to do any damage, Heidenreich said it wasnt his idea to dress up like this. Heidenreich then gave Kane a low blow and ran up the ramp
In the third match of the night, Ric Flair defeated Mick Foley in a one fall contest. After the match, Foley proceeded to beat Flair into a bloody pulp even going so far as to hit Flair repeatedly over the head with a hammer.
In match #4. Kenny and Mikey of The Spirit Squad defeated Snitsky and Viscera to retain the World Tag Team Championship.
In match #5, Umaga defeated John Cena after Randy Orton, fresh off a suspension, interfered and gave Cena the RKO.
In the 5th match of the night, 1 of 2 main events, Triple H and Shawn Michaels of D-Generation X defeated The McMahons (Vince & Shane) in a No Holds Barred match. After the match, a bloody Shane McMahon was heard yelling at his father, "I'M DONE!"
In match #6, Mickie James retained the Women's Championship by defeating Trish Stratus and Beth Phoenix in a triple threat match.
In the 2nd Main Event, Edge defeated Rob Van Dam to win his second WWE Championship. It took three spears but eventually Edge put Mr. Monday Night away at the 30 minute mark.

VENGEANCE REVIEW

Nitro vs Carlito vs Shelton Benjamin 3/5
Realistic result seeing that WWE did the same thing. I just hate Nitro as champ, hope he changes soon.
Kane vs Imposter Kane 4.5/5
Awesome twist at the end, would love to see Kane/Heidenreich feud with Undertaker involved.
Flair vs Foley 3.5/5
Again, just normal match with the same aftermath as the real Vengeance, which is fine.
Spirit Squad vs Snitsky/Viscera 2/5
Really just not PPV material.
Umaga vs Cena 4.5/5
Great ending, Orton and Cena will make a great rivalry.
DX vs McMahons 5/5
A No Holds Barred match would be great, would like to see a Shane/Vince feud happening sometime.
Mickie vs Trish vs Beth 4/5
Don't really care about Diva matches, but good match for Vengeance.
Edge vs RVD 5/5
This is really realistic seeing that you didn't use a speciality match for the main event. Most newbies like to throw superstars in cage matches and I Quit matches which is unnessecary. Full marks for the realism and ending. THREE SPEARS!
OVERALL 8/10
Great PPV, good matches except for the tag team titles one. Looks like you have some brilliant ideas set up for this BTB, I hope you can handle the writing of the shows. Keep this up, it is a very good start. And sorry for the short review, wasn't really much TO review, if you know what I mean, hehe.

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by ddmrko

Source pwtorch.com:

It is almost confirmed that the main event for The Great American Bash PPV will be Angle vs. Booker T vs. Mysterio for the World Championship.

An idea for a Mr. Kennedy-Undertaker feud is also being passed around.

A Vince McMahon-Shane McMahon match is in the works for SummerSlam.

Vince McMahon has also been heard saying that he was very impressed with the way that Matt Hardy has been taking his "punishment" since he returned to WWE. McMahon may decide to give Hardy a U.S. Title push.

RAW preview

After a hell of a Vengeance PPV, RAW comes to Houston. Monday Night RAW has a new WWE Champion in the Rated R superstar, Edge. Edge will put his newly one championship on the line against Rob Van Dam in a Vengeance rematch. Will RVD regain the title or will Edge once again defeat Mr. Monday Night?

We also know that the Big Red Machine, Kane will take on the man who has been torturing him for weeks, Heidenreich. Kane wants answers and he may plan to beat them out of Heidenreich.

What will be the McMahons reaction to once again being defeated by D-Generation X? And is there some dissention between Vince and Shane following the Vengeance PPV?

Will Randy Orton be at Monday Night Raw after he cost John Cena his match against Umaga on Sunday Night?

And what will Mick Foley and Ric Flair have to say about the brutal aftermath of their match at Vengeance? All this and more on RAW, Monday night at 9:00pm.

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by ddmrko

WWE RAW 6/26/06

“Across the nation” hits and the RAW opening video plays. The fireworks and pyro explodes and we are greeted by Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler.

Jim Ross: Hi everybody. I’m Good Ol’ J.R. here with Jerry “The King” Lawler and coming off the heels of another great PPV we have a blockbuster of a RAW for you here tonight.

Jerry Lawler: That’s right tonight we have a rematch from the main event of Vengeance. The newly crowned WWE champion Edge will defend his title against the former champion Rob Van Dam. And that’s not all because tonight we will have “The Big Red Machine” Kane goes one on one with Heidenreich. Oh my God, I can’t wait.

“My time is now” hits and John Cena makes his way to the ring amidst a mixed reaction.


Cena: Last night, I was screwed out of my match with (mocks Armando Alejandro Estrada) UUUUUUUUmmaaggaa!!! Now I’m not going to come out here and bitch about it. Randy Orton get your ass out here and lets settle this right now!!”

Fans pop big time.

“Burn in my light” hits as Randy Orton comes to the ramp way receiving a mixed reaction.

Orton: Cena believe it or not, I’ve got no beef with you man, BUT…I had to make an impact upon my return. I’ve ran through enough legends, John. You see its time for me to start demolishing and taking out my peers. And John, You’re the first on the list.”


Orton drops his mic and runs to the ring. Orton and Cena trade punches for a few seconds before Cena knocks Orton down with a clothesline. Cena then lifts Orton up for the FU and hits it. Cena puts Orton in the STFU. Umaga and Armando Alejandro Estrada come to the ring. Cena takes Umaga down with a clothesline and then sets him up for the FU. Estrada hit’s a low blow on Cena and Cena falls down to the canvas. Umaga and Estrada lift Cena up and ORTON HITS CENA WITH THE RKO. ORTON THEN SPITS ON CENA AND DOES HIS TRADEMARK POSE.

J.R.: For the second time in two nights, Randy Orton RKOs John Cena.

Lawler: Randy’s making an impact and that’s all you can hope for from a WWE superstar J.R.


Commercial Break

Backstage, The Coach stands by with Kane.

Coach: Kane last night you defeated “The Imposter Kane” at Vengeance. But the shocker came after the match when you unmasked him and it turned out to be Heidenreich. Now, Kane I gotta ask you do you think there’s any truth to what Heidenreich said last night.

Kane: You mean when he said that this whole charade wasn’t his idea? Its obvious to me that Heidenreich is a liar but just in case, I’ll beat the truth out of him tonight.

We cut back to the arena as “Heidenreich” hits and Heidenreich comes to the ring to a somewhat silent reaction.

“Slow Chemical” hits and Kane makes his way to the ring to a good pop.


1) Kane vs. Heidenreich

After about three minutes of even brawling, Kane irish whips Heidenreich into the corner and accidentally takes out the referee. Heidenreich nails Kane with a knee to the crotch and exits the ring. Heidenreich then grabs a chair from ringside and brings it into the ring. Heidenreich raises the chair above his head but Kane nails Heidenreich with a low blow. Kane then picks up the chair and nails Heidenreich in the head. The referee sees this and DQs Kane. (Winner-Heidenreich via disqualification at 5:00) Kane then lifts the chair up again. Heidenreich begs off saying “It wasn’t my idea, please!!” Kane yells “Bullshit!!!” The arena gets filled with a red light and a voice plays over the P.A. “This isn’t over Kane.”


We cut to Vince McMahon’s office backstage. Vince and Shane McMahon are in the office arguing.

Shane: Dad, I’m done. I’m sick and tired of losing and I’m sick of getting my ass kicked. Pop, I was a bloody mess last night. I don’t want anymore to do with D-X.

Vince: Shane, listen. We’re so close to getting rid of those degenerates. I’ve got a plan.
Tonight its going to be D-Generation X vs. The Spirit Squad in a handicap lumberjack match.

J.R.: DX is screwed tonight. Damn it this is not right!

Commercial Break

"Legs like that” hits and Maria makes her way to the ring receiving a decent pop. Candice Michelle music follows and she makes her way to the ring with no reaction.

2) Maria vs. Candice Michelle

After about two minutes of somewhat sloppy action, Maria pins Candice with a schoolboy. (Winner-Maria via pinfall at 2:06). As Maria celebrates, the WWE Women’s Champion Mickie James makes her way to the ring and clotheslines both Maria and Candice. Mickie then plants each woman with a Mickie DDT. Mickie then begins to laugh as we cut to the back.

We are backstage with the Coach as he is standing by with Trish Stratus.

Coach: Trish, last night at Vengeance, you and Beth Phoenix got your asses handed to you by the WWE Women’s Champion Mickie James. And judging by the destruction that Mickie just caused in the ring , Trish, think its time you faced the truth and that is you are no longer the top diva on RAW.

Trish: Well Coach, I…

(Melina interrupts)

Melina: You are exactly right Coach. Trish is no longer the top diva on RAW, but neither is Mickie James. I’m the #1 diva in the WWE. Get used to being #3 Trish..

Melina smiles and walks away as Trish looks annoyed.

We cut to ringside to Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler.

Lawler: My God, J.R.! What a night we’ve had on RAW!

J.R. : You’re damn right King and we’re not even half way through it. We know that Heidenreich was telling the truth at Vengeance and is apparently working for someone to torment and menace Kane. Randy Orton and Umaga double teamed John Cena and left him a mess.

Lawler: Not to mention that Orton spit on Cena after that attack.

J.R.: Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting by The Legend Killer! We’ve got our Women’s Champion destroying the top contenders for her title. And we’ve still got D-X and a WWE Title match for right here tonight.

Lawler: Speaking of DX, Triple H and Shawn Michaels take on The Spirit Squad in a 5 on 2 handicap lumberjack match and that match is next!


Commercial Break

Video package of Mick Foley’s vicious attack on Ric Flair at Vengeance is shown.

When we come back from the vignette many RAW midcarders and lower tiered wrestlers surround the ring. “Spirit” hits and The Spirit Squad make their way down to the ring receiving great heat.

“Break it Down” hits and Triple H and Shawn Michaels make their way down to the ring receiving an immense pop from the fans. HHH grabs a mic from ringside.

HHH: (Pointing to Spirit Squad) You five pillow biters stay right over there as we do our thing. (Talking to fans) Are you ready? (Fans cheer) I said, are you….(Before HHH could finish he and Michaels are attacked by The Spirit Squad.)


3) D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) vs. Spirit Squad (Kenny, Mikey, Johnny, Nicky and Mitch) in a 5 on 2 handicap lumberjack match

After about ten minutes of being dominated, HHH and HBK recover and send all the members of The Spirit Squad flying out of the ring. All of the lumberjacks proceed to beat The Spirit Squad senseless. Lumberjacks roll Mitch into the ring. HHH hits Mitch with the Pedigree. Lumberjacks roll Nicky into the ring. HBK hits Nicky with Sweet Chin Music. Lumberjacks roll Mikey into the ring. HHH hits Mikey with Pedigree. Lumberjacks roll Kenny into the ring. HBK hit Kenny with Sweet Chin Music. Lumberjacks roll Johnny into the ring. HHH hits Johnny with the Pedigree. HHH pins Johnny for the win. (Winners-D-Generation X via pinfall at 12:23.) HHH and HBK celebrate in the ring by doing the DX crotch chops over The Spirit Squad.


We cut to the backstage area as Vince is breaking stuff in his office

Vince: Damn it Shane! Every damn time!!

Shane: Pops, just give it up and move on.

Vince: I don’t give up and I don’t move on. I’ll have something for them next week. Next week damn it! Next Week!!


Commercial Break

“Cool” hits and Carlito makes his way to the ring receiving a good pop. Carlito grabs a mic.

Carlito: In a fit of rage, Mr. McMahon has booked Carlito in a handicap match against Shelton Benjamin and Johnny Nitro. Handicap matches….that’s not cool.

Paparazzi hits and Johnny Nitro (w/ Melina) comes down to the ring to a decent amount of heat. Melina does her patented entrance which receives a good pop.

“Ain’t no stopping’ me” hits and Shelton Benjamin makes his way down to the ring receiving decent heat.


4) Carlito vs. Johnny Nitro & Shelton Benjamin

After about five minutes of mostly Nitro and Benjamin dominating, Carlito makes a comeback, clotheslining both men. Carlito hits a dropkick on Benjamin and then hit’s a springboard back elbow on Nitro. Carlito throws Benjamin out of the ring. Nitro attempts to clothesline Carlito. Carlito ducks the clothesline and hits Nitro with a backcracker. Carlito covers Nitro but Melina puts Nitro’s foot on the bottom rope. Trish Stratus runs from the back and tackles Melina. Carlito becomes distracted by the happenings at ringside. Benjamin re-enters the ring, turns Carlito around and hits the T-Bone suplex for the pin. (Winners-Benjamin & Nitro at 10:12) After the match Nitro and Benjamin stomp on Carlito. “Paparazzi” hits as Nitro and Benjamin look on confused. JOEY MERCURY runs into the ring and cleans house as the fans erupt. Mercury hits Nitro with a DDT as Carlito hits Benjamin with a backcracker.
J.R.: Oh my God King!! We’ve just seen the return AND the Monday Night RAW debut of Joey Mercury. I don’t believe this!!

Lawler: I’m Shocked J.R.! Absolutely shocked! What a RAW! And J.R. guess what the best part hasn’t even happened yet! Because coming up next, Edge vs. Rob Van Dam for the WWE Championship.


Commercial Break

Backstage, Edge and Lita are preparing for the title match when a door opens off screen.

Edge: Holy crap! Its good to see you back. You look great. I may need you out there tonight, so be ready.

We cut back to ringside.

J.R. : Who the hell was Edge talking to King?

Lawler: I don’t know J.R.. But I can’t wait to see this match.

“One of a Kind” hits as Rob Van Dam comes to the ring receiving a good pop.

“Metallingus” hit’s as Edge (w/ Lita) makes his way down to the ring receiving an ungodly amount of heat.

With both wrestlers in the ring, Lilian Garcia makes the introductions.

Lilian: Introducing the challenger, weighing 235 lbs, from Battle Creek, Michigan, he is the former WWE Champion, Rob..Van..Dam (Van Dam poses) (Good pop). And introducing the champion, weighing 240 lbs, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he is the WWE Champion, Edge (Tremendous heat).


5) (c)Edge vs. Rob Van Dam for the WWE Championship

After 20 minutes and a very grueling contest, Edge nails a spear on Van Dam. Edge covers RVD but RVD kicks out at 2. Edge stomps on the ref. Lita tosses Edge a chair. Edge swings at Van Dam. Van Dam ducks the shot and nails the Van Daminator on Edge. Lita grabs another chair, enters the ring and swings at Van Dam. Van Dam ducks and hit’s a Van Daminator on Lita!! Van Dam then rolls Lita out of the ring, climbs up to the top rope and hit’s the Five Star Frog Splash on Edge. Van Dam covers Edge but the ref is still down. As Van Dam tries to revive the referee. CHRIS MASTERS climbs over the barricade, picks up one of the steel chairs and nails Van Dam. Masters then pulls Edge over Van Dam and revives the referee. Ref then counts to 3. (Winner and still WWE Champion-Edge via pinfall at 27:23.) Edge, Masters, and Lita then stand over Van Dam’s body, laughing.


J.R.: Son of a bitch! “The Masterpiece” is back and he & Edge just screwed Rob Van Dam out of the WWE Championship!

Lawler: This is a festive occasion J.R. Chris Masters is back and Edge is still the WWE Champion. Its celebration time. Good night everybody!

J.R.: DAMN IT!

Again, I have to correct you. His matches are in recap form so he doesn't need to lengthen it out any longer, it's fine. A full review up after I finish reading it (or if I don't have time to type it up, tomorrow while I'm at school).

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by ddmrko

RAW REVIEW

Orton/Cena Segment 3/5
It was a good promo by Cena but it seemed just too short and a bit awkward for some strange reason. Maybe it was the lack of description or maybe I'm just tired, I'll never know. But the finish was good with another RKO to John Cena. I see a good feud building up right here.

Kane Interview 2.5/5
Again, a pretty short promo, next time try to lengthen the promos out a little. And keep it realistic, don't make Kane talk a whole lot, just maybe a few words at a time.

Kane vs Heidenreich 3.5/5
Going straight to this match after that interview seemed quite unrealistic but oh well. Weird finish with Kane delivering a low blow (unusual tactic) and getting a disqualification for the chair shot (pretty realistic I guess). I love how this storyline is going, I'm guessing that the voice was the Undertaker?

McMahons Segment 3/5
After reading those news and rumours from a while ago I'm hoping that Shane will go up against Vince at Summerslam. Again again, a pretty short promo but still good.

Maria vs Candice Michelle 3.5/5
Normal ending with Maria going at it with the school boy pins like she always does. The aftermath was a good way to put Mickie over.

Trish Interview 4/5
Another small segment but very good use of Melina's cocky style of speech. I see a possible rivalry between Milena, Trish and Mickie.

DX vs Spirit Squad 4.5/5
This would be an awesome match if it was televised on Raw! Good match ending, I like the series of Pedigrees and Sweet Chin Musics. Great to see DX win it, SHANE TOLD VINCE TO MOVE ON! Good teasing of the turn of Shane, I wonder what Vince has planned for next week...

Carlito vs Nitro/Benjamin 4.5/5
This had a few things going on, first it had the fallout of Vengeance, second it had a good building of a Melina/Trish feud and it had an excellent match ending with Benjamin hitting the T-Bone! Very good.

Edge Segment 3.5/5
You probably know what I'm going to say here, short segment! But good suspense here to keep the people thinking.

Edge vs RVD 4/5
Very unexpected interference by Masters (although I'm not a big fan of him)! The usual cheating and ref reviving tactics by Lita after that for Edge to pick up the win and retain the gold. It will be interesting to see where you take this.

OVERALL 7/10
Good first show, a truckload of storylines but you just need to add some more description to the events happening backstage in the promos/segments. But great adapting to BTBing, I saw a few grammer/punctuation errors but not much of a problem to me. Keep up the great work, and I hope to get some review from you in my future BTB!

*EDIT* And sorry for the double post!

Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley (possibly as Cactus Jack) is in the works for SummerSlam.

The Spirit Squad may be split into two seperate groups in the near future.

Kurt Angle vs. Batista and Joey Mercury vs. Johnny Nitro are two matches currently planned for SummerSlam.

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by ddmrko

WWE SmackDown! 6/30/06

SmackDown! opens cold with no introduction and no pyro.

“Mr. Kennedy” hits and Ken Kennedy comes to the ring receiving a mixed reaction. The microphone lowers from the ceiling. Kennedy grabs the microphone and speaks.

Mr. Kennedy: Ladies and gentlemen, I would just like to remind you that one-half of the greatest tag team in WWE history…hails from Green Bay, Wisconsssiiinnn!!! Miiissstteerrrr Keeennneeddyyyyy…….Kennneeeddyyyy!!!

“Longhorn” hits. JBL heads toward the ring receiving tremendous heat.

Mr. Kennedy: Introducing the other half of the greatest tag team of all-time. He hails from New York City. He is the media maven. He is “The Wall Street Warrior.” John Bradshaw Layfield…Layfield.

JBL and Mr. Kennedy head to the announce table to do commentary for the next match.

“London Calling” hits as Paul London and Brian Kendrick run full-speed to the ring receiving a decent pop.

“Kid Kash” hits as Kid Kash and Jamie Noble, the Pit Bulls come to the ring receiving a rather silent reaction.

1) Paul London & Brian Kendrick vs. Pit Bulls (Jamie Noble & Kid Kash) for a WWE Tag Team Championship shot at The Great American Bash

After about 11 minutes of back and forth action, Paul London hits Kid Kash with his patented 450 splash. The referee counts to 2 but Mr. Kennedy pulls the referee out of the ring. Kennedy and the ref. argue until Brian Kendrick hits a flying crossbody onto Kennedy and the referee. Kendrick, Kennedy, and the referee are all down on the outside of the ring. JBL exits the announce position and grabs a steel chair from ringside. JBL enters the ring and swings the chair at London but London ducks and the chair hits Kash. Noble shoves JBL. JBL and Noble argue until London hit’s a double dropsault on Noble and JBL. JBL rolls out of the ring. London climbs to the top and hit’s a Shooting Star Press on Noble. A second referee comes from the backstage area and counts the three. (WINNERS- London & Kendrick at 15:57 via pinfall.) Kendrick re-enters the ring and celebrates with London. Kennedy and JBL retreat up the ramp in pain as the Pit-Bulls look at the two with pissed off looks on their faces.
Cole: We have new #1 contenders for the tag team titles. London & Kendrick did it & the Pit Bulls look none to happy.

Tazz: So at The Great American Bash it will be JBL and Mr. Kennedy defending their WWE Tag Team Championship against those two men right there!

Cole: What a great start to SmackDown! And its only going to get better because we’ve got two blockbuster matches for you her tonight. First, there will be a 20 man battle royal to crown a #1 contender to the World Championship at The Great American Bash.

Tazz: And Cole, even bigger than that, our second main event features perhaps the most dominant World Champion of all-time, Kurt Angle defending his title against the 7 foot, 500 pound Big Show.

Cole: All that and much more tonight!!

Commercial Break

When we return from commercial, The Great Khali and Daivari are already in the ring.

Daivari: If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times, The Undertaker is afraid of The Great Khali. He refuses to show his face on SmackDown!. Lets face it people, The Undertaker has abandoned you (Audience boos). He has abandoned SmackDown! And he has abandoned all of WWE due to his fear of The Great Khali (Audience boos). You people don’t believe me? Fine! Continue to believe in The Undertaker all you want! But he hasn’t shown any sign of even his presence since he was destroyed by The Great Khali.

Then all four turnbuckles explode simultaneously!!

Undertaker (Over the P.A.): Khali, Daivari, you dare challenge me? Khali, you may have one the battle but this unholy war is not over. During my time away, I’ve realized that this company isn’t big enough for the both of us. But that problem will be solved at The Great American Bash. Khali…you. Me. Buried alive!!

Lightning strikes and Undertaker’s music plays as Khali looks focused and unafraid.

Tazz: Oh my God, Cole! Undertaker has challenged The Great Khali to a Buried Alive match at the Bash!

Cole: And judging by The Great Khali’s reaction, he won’t back down from this fight.

We cut to the backstage area as Josh Matthews stands by with the Pit Bulls.

Matthews: So Jamie Noble, Kid Kash, how do you two feel after you lost your match earlier?

Noble: Let me explain something to you boy. Me and “The Notorious K.I.D.” didn’t lose our match earlier tonight. We got screwed out of a title shot by Kennedy and Bradshaw because those two rotten “Sons-a-bitches” didn’t want to face us at the Bash. They’d rather go up against those two pretty boys, London and Kendrick.

Kash: It ain’t over between us and those two teams. You can out “kash” on it. Kid Kash and Jamie Noble will be at The Great American Bash and I guarantee we will make an impact upon arrival

Cole: Strong words from Kash and Noble but coming up next, a 20 man battle royal with the winner earning a shot at the World Championship.

Tazz: That match is next!

Commercial Break

As we return from break, Scotty 2 Hotty, Sylvan, Simon Dean, Super Crazy, Psichosis, Paul Birchill, Funaki, Jamie Noble, Kid Kash, Tatanka, and Gregory Helms are already in the ring.

“How do you like me now” hits as Hardcore Holly makes his way to the ring receiving a good pop.

Cole: Hardcore Holly returns to action in this after several months on the shelf and he has a chance to become the #1 contender here, tonight.

“Live for the moment” hits and Matt Hardy comes out to a good reaction from the fans.

Cole: Matt Hardy will not die but will he win this battle royal here tonight.

“I love to fight” hits and Finlay makes his way to the ring getting a lot of heat.

Tazz: Finlay loves to fight and his “ground & pound” style may give him an advantage in this every man for himself environment.

“Royalty” hits and King Booker & William Regal come to the ring.

Cole: Will the King of the Ring take one step closer to becoming the king of the world here tonight.

“Soldier” hits and Bobby Lashley receives a great pop as he comes to the ring.

Tazz: He’s the United States Champion and if he wins this battle royal he’ll have a shot at becoming the World Champion.

“Somebody’s gonna get it” hits and Mark Henry makes his way to the ring receiving tremendous heat.

Cole: The man who took out Batista, “The World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry, has a chance to become the top contender to the title that Batista never lost.

“Booyaka” hits and Rey Mysterio comes to the ring receiving a great pop.

Cole: Rey Mysterio came up short in his World Title match at WrestleMania 22, when Kurt Angle forced Randy Orton to submit in a triple threat match. But tonight, Mysterio has a chance to climb the mountain one more time. Mysterio is the last competitor in this match and we’re ready to get this battle royal on the road.

Tazz: That’s a big win for Crazy and that’s gotta make him automatically one of, if not the, top contender for the cruiserweight championship.

Cole: But coming up next, perhaps the most dominant champion in the history of the WWE, Kurt Angle, taking on the world’s largest athlete, The Big Show. World Championship. ON THE LINE, NEXT!

Commercial Break

Cole: Angle retains his title. That was a hell of a match-up!

Tazz: He’s unstoppable!! Plain and simple. Nobody can stop Kurt Angle, The Wrestling Machine. Wait…what’s this. Apparently Kurt has something to say.

Angle: At the Royal Rumble, I beat Mark Henry. At No Way Out, I beat The Undertaker. At WrestleMania, I beat Randy Orton. At Judgment Day, I beat Chris Benoit. And just now, right here on SmackDown!, I just beat a 500 pound giant in The Big Show. And at The Great American Bash, I will defeat…King Booker (fans boo)…and Rey Mysterio in a triple threat match (fans erupt).

Cole: Oh my God! Angle, Booker, Mysterio in a triple threat match at The Great American Bash for the World Championship.

Kurt Angle celebrates with World Title as SmackDown! Goes off the air.

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by ddmrko

opening match - great match, the pairing of JBl and Kennedy will have something to match

khali promo - the match WWE wont make in real life, ironic. decent promo here.

battle royal - good finish and i knew it'd be one of these two taking it, the "decide you opponent" will be interesting

crazy vs helms - good to see a decent CW fued going.

angle vs show - good match and a good win for the champ, i could pretty much forsee the decision though (of the triple threat)

overall this was a good show but kinda short (maybe it was the battle royal) but this wasnt half bad and i look forward to the next show
