Smackdown Rebound doesn't = all the matches on the card ... only the ones I deemed important. SD actually had 6 matches that week.

Hell, I’ve even told DC that 6 was a little slim unless you have the Royal Rumble or an Ironman match or something. And you obviously have neither. I mean, Women's Title? Other tag teams? Shit, you've got three weeks before the show! Anyway, fantastic looking card otherwise.

Copy and pasting error, imo. Should be current and it is now changed. Thanks for letting me know and thanks for the review NB.

RAW Review:

Opening: Nice intro by the commentators, and Coach was also done nicely. I'm loving Edge vs. RVD, glad to see him get a shot, and also looking forward to see who the ref's going to be. I just hope that he doesn't overshadow the match itself.

Tag Match: I'm not sure what to think of this match. At first I thought it was simply to establish Show and Kane as serious Tag Champs, but the commentary afterwards makes me think that they're in for pretty tough opponents.

Cena Interview: I like this heel Cena, definitely a breath of fresh air compared to today. It's always nice when kayfabe is touched upon, like here, and glad that Grisham didn't say much either.

Chavo/Masters: Helms is a fantastic choice for IC Champion, and most of his promo was good, but the part where he picked apart Chavo and Masters seemed a little dull to me. The match, though, was the better part of the segment. Nobody looked weak, and it's giving Chavo a nice push. Whether or not it'll lead to gold, I'll be seeing.

Trish Interview: Good segment here. Trish didn't make any excuses over losing, and is determined to win back her title. Her last comment on being the best kind of seemed a bit out of place, and could've but it's true.

Women's Title: I didn't see why the rematch would be on TV, but the end clarifired that for me. Good job on introducing Victoria into the mix, as she's one of my favorite female wrestlers. She deserves to be in contention for the belt, so this angle took a turn for the better.

Spirit Squad Segment: Even with the great rub they got from the McMahons, all of this talent went to waste with a stupid gimmick and jobbing to DX. That being said, the segment was completely in character, but I found myself annoyed by it (which got the job done, with them being heels and all).

Johny/Val: Poor Val, jobbed yet again. Oh well. All this match really did was put over the Spirit Squad as cheating punks, although it was also nice to have Vis show concern for his partner. I did notice a mistake in which it says, "Kenny grabs the head of Kenny and throws him over the top rope onto his tag team partner."

Kenny/Show Promo: This was a fantastic promo on the side of Show. I could just picture him saying everything written. Kenny's part was good too, but Show's was better. Kane's line at the end was a great finishing touch as well.

Flair/Angle Promo: My favorite promo so far. Flair was fantastic, but Angle managed to surpass him. Angle spoke the entire truth. I've disagreed with Flair holding MITB since the start, because of all that Angle said. I don't think that Flair is championship material anymore. The match will most likely end up with Flair winning to keep his momentum, but I don't think that it'll be over at Backlash.

Tag Match 2: Carly's commentary was pretty funny, as was the line about spitting. A very good match, with a good ending, but my favorite part of it was finally getting the name of that kick that Shelton does. Thanks for that.

Chavo Interview: This promo right here showed that fiery Latino-ness that Guerreros are known for. Maybe it's because I'm still a huge Guerrero mark, but this totally ties for being my favorite promo so far.

HBK/RVD Segment: This is quite an interesting segment. I think I get what Shawn means, but at the same time I don't. I don't know if this'll lead to something, but I'll be on the lookout for hints, particularly in the main event.

Main Event: My favorite match of the night. But with these four great competitors, it's no surprise. The feuds meshed well, but I was thinking that the match would end on a miscommunication between Cena and Edge. The real ending had the same effect, leaving RVD the strongest, but the others not weak.

Overall: Fantastic show. No wasted segments, which is seen too often in reality. Everything advanced incredibly well, and this new feud between Angle and Flair is sure to be great. Everything I've heard about your BTB'ing is proving to be true, and I'll definitely continue to read. 8.5/10.

Raw Review
The opening segment was effectively done. I doubt the fans would be as incredibly into the announcement as you portrayed it, but we’ll let that slide. :P Also, Coach only being able to name one challenger is … weird, and makes no real sense. He’s the general manager, and should be able to make ANY kind of match involving his superstars and his championship. Definitely thought that particular situation could’ve been handled differently. As for the Van Dam-Edge match up, while RVD seems to be fodder for a massive Edge title reign, the special referee stip is definitely an interesting one. And after the ending to last week’s show, I think I know who it may be.

Lol @ Big Show and Kane completely dominating their opponents. I’m guessing the RWC won’t exactly be strong in this thread, which I don’t have a problem with since I don’t really like them, despite what it looks like at times. Show and Kane are gonna need strong rivals soon enough though.

Nice promo from Cena, and I’m really liking him in this arrogant, but yet, totally in control, heel role. The match with Michaels should be a good one, but I expect HBK to even it up at one apiece.

Helms promo this week was better than last’s, but was still quite a bit generic, and the insult to the Cruiserweight Title was … odd.

Chavo is definitely a good opponent for Helms at this stage, not too big, not too insignificant, can put on a good match with Helms on the way to Helms’ inevitable retention. Good booking.

Decent promo from Stratus, and I REALLY liked Trish’s explanation for her loss at WrestleMania. Always nice when the competitors treat the matches as something real, something that needs to be prepared for with strategies and the like. Still … Mickie to retain plz.

Didn’t expect the match to be right now, but okay. Victoria costing Trish the match up was a pleasant surprise, not only because ‘Thickie’ Mickie gets to retain the championship, but because Victoria is rather awesome in her own right. Triple Threat for the belt at Backlash seems to be in the works, and I expect The Mick to retain.

Lmao. The SS own. didn’t like that the match immediately followed the promo, especially after you just did the same with Trish. Big Show was solid in his role, as he’s quite underrated on the mic. Tag Team Title Match for the PPV looks to be solid, and the SS have got to at least look decent against Kane and Show, because after them, there’s nothing left.

Definitely the promo of the night between Flair and Angle. Naitch was as spectacular as always. The man gets to really shine when he gets incredibly riled up. The part about putting people over though didn’t really go well with the rest of it, but everything else was on point. Angle was good, too, and comparing himself to The Nature Boy might not be that bad of a comparison in 2006. The match being set up for Backlash was a little too quick and awkward. I would’ve had Flair challenge him then and there, and had Angle counter with Backlash. Either way, the card is looking stacked, and no matter who wins, there’s some interesting ways to go with it.

La Resistance?? The World’s Greatest Tag Team? 2003 wants their tag teams back.

I may have been a bit premature when I said no tag teams were left for Kane & Show after the SS, as Masters and Carlito have gotten a bit of exposure post-Mania. Carly costing the WGTT the victory sets up another tag match at Backlash methinks.

Ugh, don’t really like the playing up of the Guerrero name by Chavo, as I think that’s been the main problem and deterrent during his face runs. Decent promo, but he’s got to self himself up as a different entity in my opinion.

Lmao. Michaels just OWNED Van Dam (without trying). Leading somewhere? Hopefully to a decent in-ring promo from Van Dam next week, but I wouldn’t mind a feud between RVD and HBK either.

Van Dam beating Edge was to be expected as he still needs quite a bit of building up to be seen as a legitimate threat to Edge's WWE Title. Triple H as the referee is a nice way to keep him involved with the title picture until he's healed from his injury. Need some clarification on whether he was chosen or volunteered next week though.

Strong ending to another strong edition of Raw, PatMan. Keep it up.

Raw Feedback

Solid way to kick the show off, with Coach naming the Number On Contender. One thing I wasn't too keen on was the "Now I usually don’t come out and address the fans when I am in a dump of a city … like Milwaukee…" line. Does Coach usually do that? It might just be me, but I don't recall him resorting to Edge's tactics by insulting the crowd's hometown. He's just a smug idiot, which is enough to get the hate I think. I could be wrong though. Pretty stunned to see RVD get the nod to be honest. I saw his pinfall victory over Angle last week as a way of setting up an Angle/Van Dam feud, and not to set up an Edge/Van Dam one. Mainly because Rob took the heavy fall at 'Mania, I kind of saw him as fodder. Guess I was VERY wrong. The Special Referee can only be one man really after the events of last week, which gets me feeling that RVD is just a stepping-stone for Edge towards this 'bigger' feud down the line somewhere. Poor Rob.

Decent opener, though I was hoping to see the RWC become one of the more credible teams in Raw's tag division. Guess not. More than likely the WGTT and Carlito/Masters will fill that role. Kane and Show squashing everyone will probably get old in a hurry, so hopefully the drop the belts to either a quality team {WGTT} or a charismatic team {Carlito/Masters}.

Cena's a whiny bitch? Love it. To be honest the man could take on any role he wanted, face or heel and still make it good. Nice promo from him here with Grisham. This whole paranoia from him works well, feeling underappreciated and undervalued etc. Unlike Mac, I don't think HBK will win at Backlash, since the PPV is a tad too small. I see I dirty finish, a DQ or a Count Out or something.

Fairly good promo from Helms before the match. Your depiction of him still needs a bit of attention, since he's lacking that charismatic, classic North Carolina edge right now in your writing. Check out the way Naitch wrote him at Starrcade. That was classy. Insulting the Cruiserweight title is awful too. Pretty obvious that Chavo was getting the duke, since Masters is having a go at tag team success for a while. Chavo is a smart choice, since he's credible enough to makes Helms look good with a win. The match should be good too.

Much, MUCH better promo from Trish this week than last. Echoing the sentiments of Mac, her explanation for why she lost at WrestleMania was actually very good and makes a lot of sense. Doubt the next match gets a clean finish though.

Victoria is awesome and adding her to the mix at Backlash {one would imagine} only improves what is an already good match in the making between Mickie and Trish. Mickie will likely retain though, just to please that ... 'jobber' we all know.

Thank god someone else in BTB appreciates the Sprit Squad as much as I do. I sense a split last week with Kenny's 'solo' effort going so well, but it was nice to see them together again tonight. Dorky heels own. The aftermath promo between the SS and Show/Kane was a tad bland, as Kenny can be much better {and dorkier} than that, though Show was quite solid. I was hoping for Carlito/Masters and the WGTT to be added to the mix at Backlash, and something tells me they still will be. Come on, you can't leave Haas, Benjamin, 'Lito and, maybe, Masters off the card.

Wow, really great promo from Naitch and Angle up next. Enjoyed it a lot. You had Flair down to a tee with his mannerisms, and as for the material itself I especially liked the stuff he said about hating be told he would never be World Champion again. Even though I might get lynched for saying this, Angle > Flair in the segment. He really did. I absolutely LOVED the way he compared himself to Ric, the modern Flair. Pretty solid comparison too. Backlash isn't really THAT near, so you could have drawn this out a bit more before the actual match got made, but it is undoubtedly my favourite on the card now, even more than HBK/Cena. Hopefully this feud goes a considerable distance. It deserves to.

Lmao @ Carlito completing owning J.R before the match started. 'Lito is so underrated and awesome. Mic time every week plz. La Resistance? What the -? They're still alive? I was hoping the WGTT or Carlito/Masters would go after Show and Kane too, but after this chaos {LR win??}, it looks like a Tag team Grudge match will be on the cards at Backlash. Probably a sweet match too.

Like Mac said, Chavo's better when he's just doing his thing as 'Chavo Guerrero'. He can pay homage to his Uncle in the ring, but he doesn't need to do it so overtly on the mic. It's hard I know when he's a face, but it can be done.

Oh come on, that promo between Michaels and Van Dam has to be leading somewhere?! HBK just went out of his way to verbally bitch slap Mr. Monday Night in a 'sly' little way. Hopefully Rob puts him to shame in their tag match tonight.

Really good Main Event to close the show out with. Michaels needed to get the upperhand so him turning Cena's lights out was no surprise. Great to see Van Dam getting the fall over the WWE Champion, as he's going to need a shit load of momentum heading into Backlash, where he's obviously losing. To be honest, RVD needs to win every match leading to 'Lash. Think the Hardy/Orton feud from this year. That's really the way it should go. Loved the ending too with Hunter coming out. Just don't let the inevitable Trips/Edge feud overshadow Van Dam's big moment. I know that's what Hunter would do in real life, but that doesn't mean you have to here.

This show continues your great run in this thread, Pat. You are The Man.

Friday Night Smackdown!; April 14th, 2006; Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The show kicks off in a huge way, with the WrestleMania 22 rematch between Matt Hardy and Booker T, with Hardy’s United States Championship on the line. The match gets a decent amount of time and flows very well, with numerous counters and nearfalls between the two. Matt shows just how far he has come in the past year, not only being the aggressor in the match, but also showing off his refined technical skills. But having Sharmell at ringside works to the Book Man’s advantage, as she distracts the referee long enough for Booker to take off the turnbuckle pad, before launching Matt into it. Booker takes the advantage for a short time, getting a few nearfalls, but the end of the match comes when Booker misses the Scissors Kick and Hardy nails the Side Effect!! Matt then ascends to the top rope and hits the huge LEG DROP, for the very impressive three count at 13:18.
Following the match, Matt gets his title belt from the referee and proceeds to celebrate on the outside, slapping hands with the fans as he walks up the ramp. Back in the ring, Booker is being attended to by Sharmell, who looks none to happy after her husband’s loss.

{Commercial Break}

Backstage, the Bluebloods, William Regal and Paul Burchill, are in somewhat of a heated argument. Regal says that they have been disappointing in the tag team world the past few months, and also that THEY should be the WWE Tag Team Champions, not MNM. Regal gets into Burchill’s face and tells him that it is time to step up, because he is through playing games and losing every week. Burchill doesn’t say anything to Regal, although he doesn’t break eye contact before we cut away.

Josh Matthews conducts an interview with ‘The Wrestling God’, JBL, who doesn’t have his Cabinet with him. To many people’s surprise, Bradshaw keeps the interview relatively short, solely focusing on his match with Rey Mysterio tonight. JBL says that he underestimated Rey going into WM22, and that is why he lost. JBL says that Mysterio is a tough competitor … but there is no one tougher than John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield. JBL closes by saying that Rey has had luck on his side the past few months, but tonight … Rey’s luck runs out.

{Commercial Break}

After last week’s victory by Paul London against Joey Mercury, Brian Kendrick gets a chance to shine, as he faces Johnny Nitro in our second match of the evening. Nitro should have the definite advantage in this match, but Kendrick battles throughout and never lets Nitro get in a very good shot. With Melina and Mercury cheering on Nitro, and London cheering on Kendrick, the crowd is able to really get into the match. After some intense back and forth in the ladder stages of the match, Kendrick is able to hits Sliced Bread #2 to get the three count at 7:50.
After getting the second clean victory in as many weeks over both members of the Tag Team Champions, The Hooligans are on top of the world. London and Kendrick celebrate in the ring, with MNM helping Nitro on the outside, visibly upset after these two big losses.

Backstage, Booker T and Sharmell are walking back into the locker room, both livid after Booker’s loss to Matt Hardy earlier. Booker is almost “scary” mad, yelling at his wife and telling her that he should be the US Champion. Sharmell tells Booker that she knows he is mad but he needs to calm down. Booker just brushes her off and heads for the showers, as Sharmell looks a little frightened by her husband’s state of mind.

Elsewhere, in the GM’s office, Teddy Long is talking with the CW Champion, Jamie Noble, before Kid Kash rudely interrupts the two. The Notorious K.I.D. wastes no time in getting to the point, stating that he is sick of facing Noble in tag matches, and he wants another shot at the CW Title. T-Lo tells Kash that he can’t just demand a title shot, he needs to earn it. Before Kash can fire back, Long says that he has made a match for next week where Kash can earn his title shot. It will be a fatal four way between Kash, Juvi, S2H, and Nunzio, with the winner facing Jamie Noble in two weeks!! Kash stills looks pissed and stares down Noble before leaving the room, as we fade out.

{Commercial Break}

In the third match of the night, Rey Mysterio goes against John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield. Just like at WM22, JBL’s Cabinet is barred from ringside, but unlike WM22, JBL seems to be more focused and aggressive against the man that beat him 12 days ago in Chicago. Rey wrestles the same way he did at WM22 and the two put on a very good match. The Human Highlight Reel is still able to surprise The Wrestling God with quick cruiserweight moves but JBL doesn’t go down as easily as before. JBL is able to use his great strength and striking abilities to keep Rey down but never long enough for the three count. In the end, Rey looks to have his second victory against JBL, nailing the 619 and then looking to follow with the seated senton … BUT JBL HITS THE CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL AS REY JUMPS AT HIM!!! JBL smiles and looks around the arena before hooking the leg and getting the pinfall at 11:40.
JBL gets to his feet right away and demands that the referee raise his hand, gaining a bunch of heat from the crowd. Cole and Tazz put over Rey’s resilience tonight but state that JBL was just too good in this match. JBL walks up the ramp while Rey gets to his feet in the ring, getting a good pop from the fans.

The camera then shifts and follows JBL through the curtain, where the Cabinet greets him. OJ is the first to congratulate JBL before the Bashams and Jillian join in as well. JBL isn’t as excited as some would expect, simply telling his teammates that tonight was only a matter of getting the past behind him … and that is the first step in what he hopes to accomplish … getting his hands on the World Heavyweight Championship.

{Commercial Break}

In the fourth match of the night, The Dicks see some rare in-ring action as they face Super Crazy and Psichosis, The Mexicools. Chad and James don’t really prove to be much of a test for the Spanish-speaking fan favorites, as they seem taken aback by The Mexicools’ quick offense. The Dicks don’t get more than a few shots in before Super Crazy ends the match by hitting a Moonsault off the top rope onto Chad for the three count at 4:10.
Super Crazy and Psichosis celebrate with the fans after the match, with Cole and Tazz stating that maybe The Mexicools can move up in the tag team division soon, and get a shot at MNM’s titles.

In an interview with Steve Romero, Ken Kennedy gives his thoughts on the main event tonight … when he faces Batista!! KK starts by reminding everyone that he said last week that he planned on making a big impact on Smackdown. He says that a match against Batista will do just that and he will make Teddy Long glad that he signed the match because he will be the one that wins. KK says that this is his first ‘marquee’ match on Smackdown and he doesn’t plan on letting it slip away. He calls Batista a meathead who was on top far longer than he should have been. Kennedy closes by saying that he will prove himself in front of everyone tonight, stating that Batista will be the first victim in a new era on Smackdown … the era of Ken Kennedy … Kennedy!!

{Commercial Break}

Back from break, we see Matt Hardy talking with a random worker, fresh off his victory against Booker T to retain the US Championship. We then see William Regal walk into the shot, causing the worker to scamper away. Regal tells Hardy that beating Booker T was quite impressive, and a good win for someone as low in the ranks as Hardy. Regal says that Hardy needs to face someone with a real chance at taking the US Title. Regal then looks at the title before patting Matt on the shoulder, wishing him good luck in the future.

Our semi-main event sees The Undertaker in action for the second straight week, this time against ‘The Fighting Irishman’ Finlay. With a win against William Regal last week, ‘Taker seems to be on his A-Game, with Finlay struggling to get any shots in during the opening few minutes of the match. Finlay eventually targets the knees to get the advantage and the two go through a very good exchange period, going shot for shot before the pace is quickened, with both men getting a few nearfalls. In the end, The Deadman is just too much for Finlay, as he is unable to stop the offense, eventually getting dropped with a Chokeslam for the pinfall at 10:27.
For the second week in a row, ‘Taker is the victor and the arena turns to blue as he drops to one knee in the center of the ring. Cole and Tazz put over ‘Taker’s two impressive wins the past two weeks, stating that he is showing Randy Orton why his World Title reign may end up being very short. ‘Taker eventually leaves the ring and slowly walks up the ramp, raising his hand as he reaches the top, getting a final ovation from the fans, as we fade from the ring.

{Commercial Break}

Back at ringside, Michael Cole and Tazz talk about the matches for next week’s show, including The Hooligans & The Mexicools vs. MNM & The Bashams, Juvi vs. Kid Kash vs. Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Nunzio for a shot at Jamie Noble’s CW Title in two weeks, and just announced, Matt Hardy vs. William Regal vs. Paul Burchill in a Triple Threat match for the US Championship.

Kristal conducts the final interview of the night, talking with ‘The Animal’ Batista. Batista is never one to ramble on, so he keeps it short and sweet. ‘Tista comments on Kennedy’s interview earlier, stating that there is no way that it will be the Kennedy Era on Smackdown while ‘The Animal’ is still on Friday nights. He talks about Kennedy wanting to prove himself tonight, stating that he has some proving to do of his own … proving that Randy Orton doesn’t have a chance when Batista gets his rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Before the main event, the World Heavyweight Champion, ‘The Legend Killer’ Randy Orton makes his way to the ring, joining Michael Cole and Tazz at the announce table for the main event. Orton says that he heard what Batista said just a few moments ago, and says that he has beaten Batista before and he will do it again … and that Batista should be more worried about beating Kennedy tonight.

{Commercial Break}

In the main event, ‘The Animal’ Batista goes one on one with Ken Kennedy, with Randy Orton on commentary. Batista continues his dominance after pinning Booker T last week, and looks very strong against the young loudmouth. Kennedy actually steps his game up and dominates Batista during the middle of the match, targeting the leg of The Animal and never going away from it. The two exchange the advantage at a rapid pace near the end of the match but we see the conclusion after the referee was inadvertently knocked down by a Kennedy right hand, leading to KK grabbing a steel chair. He looks set to blast Batista with the weapon but as he charges … BATISTA PLANTS HIM WITH A SPINEBUSTER!! Batista goes through the motions after the move and ends the match with a big Batista Bomb, getting the three count at 9:42.
Right after the match, Randy Orton stands behind the announce table while Batista gets his hand raised by the official. Orton holds the World Heavyweight Title high as Batista spots him and drops down out of the ring. Batista heads over to Tony Chimmel and grabs a microphone. He walks over to Orton, who hasn’t moved an inch since getting up. Batista smirks and brings the microphone up to his mouth…

“Did that win impress you?? It doesn’t really matter if you’re impressed … because I am getting my title back … NEXT WEEK.”

The crowd goes crazy, as Batista has just announced that Orton vs. Batista II for the World Heavyweight Championship will happen next week!! The champion and challenger share a long staredown while Cole and Tazz hype up next week’s show, as we fade out.

Digga's Smackdown! review..

Best match: Even though they were all recapped.. I think the main event, not necessarily for the match, but because of the aftermath.. Batista versus Randy II is going to be kickass....
Worst match: The Dick's, and Mexicool's... Just don't like the team's but you get a plus for actually using The Dick's!!
Best Promo: Mr. Kennedy's.. Just because he's Kennedy.. Lol, hopefully KK get's a push soon..
Worst Promo: Regal, Matt.. I just don't like Regal..
Additional Comment's: I really thought the show was ok... Can't wait for you to do full show's instead of the recap's but for now recap's are good.. Like regak said to Matt "Good Luck in the Future" with this btb..

April 14th Smackdown Feedback

Hardy vs Booker was good. Nice to see Matt pick up the win however the win does kind of make Booker look weak especially after recieving a huge beat down last week. Nonetheless good opening match.

JBL Promo was good, a determined JBL is always fascinating to watch and i like how you are making this feud very heated and serious. A good match could occur later in the show.

Kendrick vs Nitro match was rather predictable. I exspected Kendrick to win that one. I hope this doesnt turn into the hooligans having all the momentum and then loosing their title shot, i just feel that has been so many times before. Decent match though.

Kash in GM office was good, not much to comment on except the fatal 4 way could be a really interesting match.

Rey vs JBL was another good match, i wasnt sure what way it was going to go so good booking. Interesting to see JBL go over, i dont know what you have in store for Mysterio now though.

Kennedy delivers in another great promo, i really enjoyed this one just like i did last week. He looks strong going into the match so it will be interesting to see if he can beat Batista (highly unlikely but anything can happen)

Undertaker going over again was good, i hope these matches dont go on to long and maybe get him in the mix for the title sooner rather than later. Despite this good to see him get the win just a shame it had to come at the exspense of Finlay.

Main Event. The interview with Batista before hand was realistic and allowed both competitors to look strong going into the match. The match itself was the best of the night. I could see maybe Kennedy/Taker or something along those lines or i could be completely wrong. Awesome news to see Batista vs Orton next week, should be a great match.

Overall it was a good show for a recap, i missed Raw so sorry i couldnt get any feedback for that but i will whenever the next Raw is posted. Next week looks like a good show and i look forward to seeing how feuds can develop.
