PK & Chazz present: WWE Smackdown (07/08/04)

[Chazz]

Guys, I have had a lot of stuff come up, so this weeks show is just me posting results. Sorry about this, but next weeks show will be a full show.



Cruiserweight title tournament:
Shannon Moore def Akio via pinfall
Akio now has one loss, and one more loss means elimination for him.


Cruiserweight title tournament:
Jerry Lunn def Nunzio when the Dudley's interfered and cost Nunzio the match.
Nunzio has one loss, and one more means elimination.


Cruiserweight title tournament:
Paul London def. Scotty 2 Hotty when Brian Christopher came out and distracted Scotty.
Scotty has one loss, and one more means elimination.


Cruiserweight title tournament:
Sakoda def Funaki via pinfall.
Funaki now has one loss and one more means elimination.


RVD def Matt Morgan with the Five-Star, but Morgan did significant damage to Rob afterwards, and proved his worth as the "enforcer" of Team Heyman.


Main Event:
Billy Gunn & Rey Mysterio defeated Mark Jindrak & Hardcore Holly when Gunn hit the Fame-Asser on Jindrak and then Mysterio nailed the West-Coast pop for the pinfall.

Kurt Angle accepted John Cena's challenge for a career vs career match at SummerSlam. Kurt only agreed if he got to name the match type, and Cena reluctantly agreed to this stipulation.

JBL accepted Undertaker's Buried Alive challenge, and in two weeks this match will go down.

Booker T and Eddie Guererro both had live interviews via satellite from there respective homes as both men promoed for there main event title match next week. GM Long guaranteed the whole world that Booker T would beat Eddie.


Like I said, sorry that I couldn't get the show out, but there will be a show next week, and a preview for next weeks show should be up by tomorrow evening.

This is a little hard to give some feedback but I'll try rate you on the matches and forget the hits and misses until next time.

All the matches were good solid matches for Smackdown except I didn't enjoy the main event. I don't understand why you would have Billy Gunn and Hardcore Holly in the main event. Besides that I like the idea of JBL vs Taker in a buried alive match, that would be an entertaining match to watch but thats pretty much all I can rate you on.

Oh and the rating, well, (I will rate you just in the matches) I'll give it a 6./10.

This week I'll do a break down of the idea's seen as Chazz was unable to do a full show. So let me see......

Cruiserweight title tournament:
Shannon Moore def Akio via pinfall
Very solid match up. I think the right man won it. The WWE should give Moore more coverage and Im happy to see him get a win under his belt.


Cruiserweight title tournament:
Jerry Lunn def Nunzio when the Dudley's interfered and cost Nunzio the match.
Nunzio has one loss, and one more means elimination.
Not too wild about the idea of the Dudleys costing Nunzio the match when it was Jerry Lynn he was facing. I feel maybe you should have paired Lynn off with someone else because this result makes Jerry look weak.


Cruiserweight title tournament:
Paul London def. Scotty 2 Hotty when Brian Christopher came out and distracted Scotty.
Paul London would be carrying this match IMO. I like to see him with a win and using BC was a good idea as it continues his feud with Scotty and Kish.


Cruiserweight title tournament:
Sakoda def Funaki via pinfall.
Funaki now has one loss and one more means elimination.
I think Sakado is over the weight but anyway. Very interesting match and IMO would be an entertaining outing. Funaki is the most underestimated wrestler in the WWE. I would have liked to have seen Smackdowns #1 Announcer come away with the win.

RVD def Matt Morgan with the Five-Star, but Morgan did significant damage to Rob afterwards, and proved his worth as the "enforcer" of Team Heyman.
Morgan didnt need to win this and I think the fact that he destroyed RVD in the end was a very good move. He lost but he keeps some credibility by having the after match beat down. This is where Morgan should be and I cant wait to see where you bring it.

Main Event:
Billy Gunn & Rey Mysterio defeated Mark Jindrak & Hardcore Holly when Gunn hit the Fame-Asser on Jindrak and then Mysterio nailed the West-Coast pop for the pinfall.
Im not too bothered about this being the Main Event because it links the two feuds. You have a nice thing going between Gunn/Jindrak as well as Rey/Holly. This is actually a very clever booking that keeps storylines alive. Smart move.

Kurt Angle accepted John Cena's challenge for a career vs career match
Hmmmmmmm not sure about the stip. This match could have just been a normal match and then you could add the stip. Anyway this is an interesting feud and I will be keen to see where it goes from here and what match gimmick Kurt will pick.

JBL accepted Undertaker's Buried Alive challenge
Will definately make for a great show in two weeks but Im worried that you booked it too near to SummerSlam and that it wont allow you time to establish new feuds after this match. At least Bisch can now announce his match up.

Booker T and Eddie Guererro both had live interviews via satellite from there respective homes as both men promoed for there main event title match next week. GM Long guaranteed the whole world that Booker T would beat Eddie.
Great idea to have satellite interviews. I was afraid that nothing would happen this week between the two and that it would fizzle out a bit but I feel it hasnt. Long garunteeing victory is a nice touch and definately tips the scales in Books favour.

Overall the show looked solid. Some good ideas, main parts of the show look solid. Obviously I cant rate the show as I normally would but as far as idea's go and the continueation of feuds, I think this show was very good.
7.5/10

Thanks for the feedback guys. I wanted to at least get the results out so you guys would know how the storylines and such are going.

In regards to the main event, well like PK said, it gave attention to the feuds between Gunn/Jindrak and Mysterio/Holly. I wanted to emphasize these feuds and felt the tag team main event was a good way to do it. I think Gunn is a guy that when healthy is a considerable asset to Smackdown. Holly is the same. :winkok:
