Report by Trevor Laforet and http://www.wrestlingobserver.com Mark Henry came out during the ring crew were changing over to Smackdown. Henry went on about how Big Show told Mark Henry to pick on somebody his own size, when Henry noticed nobody was as big as Henry. Henry went on about how Big Show lost to Mayweather and Nunzio was easily defeated by Henry. Henry, finally concluding by saying Big Show shouldn't mess with him and then left (There was no mention of this at all for the rest of the night) Smackdown=== At the start of the show Vickie Guerrero came out and talked more about Taker getting stripped of the title. She then gives Taker another shot at at Judgment Day, and that tonight there will be a one night "Championship Chase" involving former Champions excluding Khali and Edge due to injury. Participants are John Morrison, Kane, CM Punk, Finlay, Chavo, Matt Hardy, Batista, Big Show, Tommy Dreamer and MVP. With the winners of each match going into a battle royale to decide Taker's challenger. The World Title is then put in a glass case right beside the entrance way. Matt Hardy over CM Punk with reversing a Punk roll up. MVP and Finlay battled to a no contest when both participants had their shoulders pinned on the mat at the same time. Also to note when MVP's pyro went off some of it went into the crowd, luckily nobody got hurt, but it was pretty close. Natayla over Kelly Kelly with a sharpshooter (which got a very good pop) In the locker room, Vickie Guerrero mentions that even thought MVP and Finlay battled to a no-contest, she likes to think positively and lets both participants into the main event. Batista over John Morrison with the Batista Bomb Big Show over Tommy Dreamer in a squash Kane over Chavo with a Thesz Press type pin. Kane was still selling the leg injury from ECW, and Chavo worked on it throughout the match. Kozlov over Phil Atlas (Atlas was billed from London, Ont. Somebody even tried to start an Alexander Ovechkin chant as well) Main event saw Batista win the battle royal by eliminating Big Show via headscissors over top rope. Vickie came out and said that even though Batista won the battle royal, the chase must continue since Edge has been "medically cleared" to wrestle. Edge quickly comes to the ring and eliminates Batista, who is still laying on the apron, with a spear. Edge then celebrates up the ramp when all of a sudden the glass case holding onto the World title is engulfed in flames, Undertaker's theme hits and Edge runs away to the back. Nothing to note after the show, Batista went around the ring shaking hands with everyone and threw his arms pads into the crowd. Many people were expecting another dark match, but got nothing. ***DIRECT LINK*** TNA's Stone Cold Sharkboy UNMASKED!!
