Thanks to S. Soul for these:
Smackdown results LIVE from Rochester, NY
11/23/04
DARK MATCH:
Match 1: Chris Masters over Hardcore Holly (some Renee Dupree punishment possibly?) Masters is a developmental talent from OVW.
VELOCITY:
Match 2: Shannon Moore & Nunzio & Chavo Guerrero over Billy Kidman & Akio &Spike Dudley. SHANNON MOORE pinned Spike. Yes, for real. With a flipping neckbreaker.
Match 3: Luther Reigns & Mark Jindrak pinned McCallister? & A-1 (possibly the steaksauce tycoon?) Nothing special here, it was short and painful.
*Match 4: Bashams over Paul London & Funaki. Again, short and not so sweet but it was great seeing London again.
SMACKDOWN:
Match 1: Rey Mysterio Jr. over Renee Dupree in a pretty decent match. Rey won after the 619 and a springboard legdrop. Renee’s eye looked F’n sick. Damn that Bob Holly.
Next was the Tough Enough Competition. This week they had to Armwrestle one another in a mini tournament.
Heres the results:
Dan was eliminated before the arm wrestling.
Puder over The Miz
Ryan over Justice
Puder over Ryan, so Puder wins again. weee!
Next were some little segments. Firstly, Carlito Carribean Cool and Jesus talked about how Cena attacked Carlito before the match last week and cost him the US belt. Carlito then gave Jesus Cena’s chain and lock because he took him out after the match last week.
After that was a segment of Kenzo Suzuki watching Torrie Wilson on a monitor while his Hiroko was telling him about Thanksgiving. When she asked Kenzo what part of the turkey he wanted, he said he wanted some Breasts.
Then there was a Bradshaw promo. He basically put down Indians and talked about how affirmitive action doesnt work. That was follows by a Rey Jr Promo with RVD talking about their tag title shot.
Match 2: Rob Van Dam over Kenzo Suzuki via DQ after Kenzo used Hiroko’s scarf to choke RVD out. Torrie was the ring announcer and after the match, Kenzo went after her and RVD made the save.
Next was a Big Show Thanksgiving segment. He talked about how he ate his parents out of house and home and how his favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Show invited everyone (Tazzzzz,Cole,Chimel etc) to the ring for a feast. Luther came out, pied that Diva Search chick and then there was a foodfight like every Thanksgiving. The Diva Search chick hit Show in the face with the pie to end the segment.
Match 3: Kurt Angle over Cody Steele. This was part of Kurt’s invitational challenge. Steele said he was from Rochester, but a “Liar” chant rang out because we know he’s from the Niagara Falls, Ontario area. Angle beat him with the ankle lock. Everyone thought it would be local favorite and Tough Enough winner Matt Cappotelli that was going to challenge Kurt. No dice though.
A video then aired talking about how WWE went to Iraq during the holidays last year and to support the troops. Then the video said that they’d be returning back again this year during the holidays. Good for them, pretty classy.
Match 4: Dawn Marie and Miss Jackie went to a no contest in some Thanksgiving costume gimmick type of match. Charlie Haas had to seperate the two of them after the match was thrown out.
Main Event Match 5: JBL & Orlando Jordan over Booker T & Eddy Guerrero after interference from who (I believe) were the Dudley Boyz or the Basham Brothers. It was hard to tell cause they were wearing masks and then did the reveal, so don’t quote me on that. After the Match, the gong rang and the arena went dark. Out came the Undertaker to take out JBL and Orlando. Weeeee!
No Cena this week, which wasnt a suprise. I’d say most of the hard camera side was tarped off and the crowd was clumped together so it should look good on TV. Other than that, it wasnt a bad show since I got in free and all. Free wrestling is good wrestling!
