Report sent in by PharmerDempsey

I just got back from the Smackdown tapings in Philly. I was 2nd row right by
the entrance ramp, the show was pretty good and the arena was pretty well
full.

Dark Matches

Nunzio and Big Vito vs Shannon Moore and Frankie Kazarian
Results: Match was ok with a few blown spots. Moore and Kazarian win after
Kazarian hits a legdrop off the top onto Vito.

Hardcore Holly and Charlie Haas vs 2 jobbers
Results: Not sure who the jobbers were but the people behind me seemed to
know one of them and kept calling him Frank. Match could be on Velocity I'm not
sure. Holly and Haas win after the Haas of Pain

Velocity

Rene Dupree vs Scotty 2 Hotty
Results: Decent match with Dupree winning after the Dupree driver

Spike Dudley vs Paul London
Results: Spike got good heat after coming out with a Patriots jersey on.
London wins in a pretty entertaining match after a Dragon suplex pin.

Booker T vs Kenzo Suzuki
Results: Booker wins after a scissors kick

Smackdown!

The Basham Brothers vs Eddie and Rey (Tag Team Title Match)
Results: Eddie worked nearly the whole match after Rey was sent into the
steps by one of the Bashams early on. Teased heat between Rey and Eddie but they
get the win after the Drop of the Dime.

Kurt Angle invitational
Results: The victim tonight was named Matt Martel obviously from Philly.
Angle wins easily with the Ankle Lock

JBL celebration
It took nearly 20 minutes for them to set all the stuff up. Tables with food,
ice sculptures shaped like JBL's cowboy hat, red carpet etc.. About the same
thing that happens after every JBL PPV title defense. The girls who served as
extras I believe were from a local gentlemen's club called Oasis. The Philly
crowd didn't like this too much especially the singer who sung for JBL. The
poor girl was being booed so heavily that I couldn't even hear her singing. Ended
with Big Show and John Cena cleaning house and destroying everything and
running JBL and his cabinet off. Teddy Long came out and made a tag team match for
later with Show/Cena vs JBL/Orlando.

Mark Jindrak/Luther Reigns vs Undertaker
Results: Short match with Luther refusing to tag Jindrak. Jindrak submits to
'Taker's arm lock submission hold. After the match Luther and Jindrak had to
be separated by WWE officials.

Chavo Guerrero vs Funaki ( CW title match)
Results: Chavo wins easily with the Gory Bomb

Teddy Long is then joined in the ring by Carlito to see if Long gets to stay
as Smackdown! GM. Linda is shown on the titan tron and says Long gets to keep
his job

Big Show and John Cena vs JBL and Orlando Jordan
Results: Funny line of the night, when Big Show was chopping Orlando in the
corner he yelled "I'm gonna slap the black off of you!" Entertaining match with
JBL only getting in when Orlando had the advantage. Cena pins Orlando after
the FU and the 5 knuckle shuffle.

End of show

After they went off the air JBL stays in the ring and is joined by his
cabinet. he bad mouths the Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers until Undertaker comes out.
The cabinet leaves JBL alone with 'Taker. JBL gives taker til the count of 3
to leave, but of course he doesn't and gets a beatdown ending with the
Tombstone. 'Taker leaves and JBL's cabinet returns, he asks them where they went and
then fires them all. He fires Orlando after failing to pick him up, and again
after he tried to pick him up by his hurt ribs. He also threatened to fire
Orlando if he rented the limo from a Philly place. Funny stuff, as JBL is
hilarious on the mic.

Biggest Heat:
1. The singer for JBL's celebration
2. JBL
3. Spike w/Patriots jersey

Biggest Pops:
1. John Cena
2. Undertaker
3. Eddie/Rey
