Report sent in by Calvin Wong

I just got back from the Smackdown/ECW show tonight at
the TD Banknorth Garden and I must say this wasn't a
bad overall show. ECW was actually taped first before
Smackdown was taped so you guys didn't see a live ECW
tonight.

Dark Match
Jamie Noble vs. Kenny Dykstra
Dykstra got major heat since he was the first wrestler
out tonight. Decent match between the two with some
good technical wrestling. Noble wins the match with a
roll through for the pin.
Winner: Jamie Noble

Tazz and Joey Styles are introduced next for the ECW
taping. Best match of the night was Punk vs. Miz.

Following ECW, the crew came out to change the ropes
for Smackdown. Michael Cole and Coach are introduced.

In the ring, we have a rug with a table and a small
animal carrier covered with table cloths. Out come
some Indian dancers. The Great Khali comes down to
the ring while the dancers are getting festive.

Smackdown Tapings Results

We get the intro and the pyro. The dancers resume and
one of the translators says Khali has a peace offering
for the Big Show while the crowd chants "What?" I
couldn't make out most of what was said because of the
crowd. Khali calls out Big Show. Big Show comes out
and the translator tells him of the peace offering
while the dancers all get out of the ring. First
offering is a large bottle of fresh water from the
Ganges River (apologies if I spelt it wrong). It
actually looks pretty murky. The next item, I
couldn't hear what it was, but it looked like a giant
bottle of cologne. I guess it was suppose to be water
from somewhere because they had Big Show take a drink
from it. Bitter beer face. Next they uncover a bird
cage with a chicken in it. They tell him he will
never go hungry again because of the eggs he'll get.
Finally they uncover the animal carrier and a goat is
brought out. Yes folks, there was a real live chicken
and goat. Big Show understands how Khali feels and he
wants to express his feeling. Show extends his hand
and Khali takes it. Show hits Khali with a right hand
sending him to the mat. Big Show leaves while
officials come out to check on Khali. The dancers
leave while Khali is helped to the back.

We see a dirt sheet segment of Miz and Morrison making
fun of Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore.

Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore vs. John Morrison
and the Miz
This was a pretty good match and it's nice to see that
they're bringing this feud back. There were some
great spots in this match and some great false
finishes. The end came after Yang send Morrison to
the outside only to get the neckbreaker portion of the
Reality Check from The Miz to end the match.
Winners: John Morrison and The Miz

Edge and Vicki Guerrero are shown in a health spa
getting a couples massage while Teddy Long is standing
in the background. Edge says that this was a great
idea by Vicki since he's so stressed out from losing
to The Undertaker.

Finlay w/Hornswoggle vs. Matt Striker
This was more of a comedy match. Hornswoggle went
under the ring at one point to shoot Striker with a
Super Soaker. Later on, Striker tried to baseball
slide Finlay on the outside, but was caught by the
ring apron and knocked to the ground. Hornswoggle
threatened Striker with a bucket, but only got
confetti thrown on him. Hornswoggle hands him an
umbrella, but he didn't know what to do with it so he
threw it to the ground. Hornswoggle opened up the
umbrella for himself and told him to look behind.
Finlay threw a bucket of water at him. The final
moments of the match had Hornswoggle run into the ring
with a blow up mallet to hit Striker in the back
distracting him. The ref grabbed the mallet to throw
it out of the ring allowing Finlay to hit Striker with
a shilleleigh shot for the win.
Winner: Finlay

We're shown a recap of the events involving Victoria,
Michelle McCool and that mysterious woman (Nattie
Neidhart).

Victoria makes her way to the ring with her new friend
to introduce her to everyone. Nattie Neidhart will be
working under the name Natalya Neidhart. Victoria
said that if you don't know who her father is then
take a look at the video which was a video of Jim
Neidhart. Natalya takes the mic and says this time
it's not about her father, but about her amongst other
things.

Michelle McCool vs. Victoria w/Natalya Neidhart
This was a short match with distractions from
Neidhart. The end came when Neidhart threw her jacket
at McCool to distract her while Victoria got a school
boy on her.
Winner: Victoria

Michael Cole is in the ring and says that there have
been many wars battled over various things. We see a
recap of how the Shawn Michaels/Batista feud came
about. I thought this would be a face to face on the
Tron where the two of them would be in different
studios. Batista and Shawn Michaels are both
introduced. The two pretty much say the same things
from the last couple times they went face to face.
Shawn Michaels was about to exit the ring when he
faked a super kick. Batista ducked away and set up
for the Batista Bomb. Shawn Michaels rolled out of
the ring to end the segment.

Edge and Vicki are once again shown at the spa. This
time they have avocado facials on as well as bath
robes. The two are having a matching pedicure. Teddy
Long brings them a pair of margaritas and the two hand
him their used cucumbers.

Eve is shown backstage entering Jesse and Festus'
locker room

Vladimir Kozlov vs. Matt Logan
Logan is from Boston and trained at Chaotic. There
was minimal offense from Logan, but the match didn't
last long as Kozlov won with an inverted DDT.
Winner: Vladimir Kozlov

MVP comes out to do commentary.

Matt Hardy vs. Chuck Palumbo
Great match between the two. Hardy was over huge.
The end came when Hardy hit a Twist of Fate out of
nowhere after a blocked attempt.
Winner: Matt Hardy

Following the match, Hardy made eyes with MVP who
teased getting into the ring.

Eve is backstage interviewing Jesse and Festus. Jesse
is worried and has been trying to talk to Festus, but
to no avail.

Edge and Vicki are now shown together in bed. There
is whipped cream as well as strawberries involved.
The lights in the room go out while you hear what's
going on. Lights come back on again and Teddy Long is
there saying that he's no longer guarding the door
while they have their strawberry cravings and he's
leaving. Edge tells Vicki he'll make her forget about
all that and the lights go out again.

Undertaker vs. Festus w/Jesse
This was a surprisingly good match. Lots of back and
forth action and a number of false finishes. The
closing moments had Undertaker moving out of the way
of Festus charging at him in the corner knocking the
referee out. Undertaker followed by using the figure
four like chokehold. Another referee ran down to the
ring to make the call because Festus had passed out.
Winner: Undertaker

Jesse ran into the ring to try to revive Festus.
Undertaker kept looking down and Jesse told him to
back off. Officials and Jesse help Festus to the back
while Undertaker celebrates in the ring posing for the
crowd. I think this is where the feed gets cut off.
Hawkins and Ryder run down to the ring. Taker is able
to battle them off prompting Edge, Chavo and the
bodyguard to the ring. Batista's music hits and he
joins the fray to assist Taker. Kane then makes his
way out to join in the battle. Finally the Big Show
runs down to join in. We get stereo chokeslams as
Taker has Edge, Kane has Chavo, Show has the
bodyguard, and Batista has either Ryder or Hawkins.
The heels leave the ring while the faces pose for the
crowd. Batista leaves, but not before setting off his
pyro. Big Show poses for the crowd in the ring before
setting off pyro on the ramp. Kane and Taker leave
together with their trademark right arm raise.

Justin thanks us all for coming and hopes everyone had
a great time.
