The match was not all that, but that was a well executed Orton vs Dusty Rhodes fight (maybe The Great American Bash?). Everyone being interviewed is favoring Cena and I dont like that...

OMG who is that blonde girl hanging out with Melina???? Looks like Lita...

Forget that: LMAO, the Hacksaw Jim Dugan > Stephen Regal > Ron Simmons skit made the night for me!

Yeah the DAMN skit was hilarious


The blonde girl with Melina was Beth Phoenix. She returned last week after a long disappearance.
 
figures. Of all the nights I decide to miss raw on purpose, I miss a funny skit. Eh maybe their website or youtube will have it eventually.
 
OMG SMACKDOWN SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!















Sources said edge was injured last week but it was minor. But that doesnt seem to be the case. Edge was forced to relinquish the title and there was a 20 man battle royale for it. Guess who won....


The Great Khali...urgh!!!!


WHY GOD WHY?!?!


It said Smackdown will show who will end up facing Khali, Batista or Kane. I'm trying to find the update on that right now. It'll probably be up once ECW is over.
 
Yeah I just found out about that myself. Edge has a pectural injury so he had to drop the belt.

Should of been Kane. Its still to early for Khali.

Seems as of now its going to be khali and batista at the Great American Bash. They said though that could change but thats the plan as of now.

OMG yes!!!


Batista and Kane's #1 Contendership match was a no contest due to Khali's interference so Teddy decided to make it a Triple threat match at the Great American Bash.

Now that should be a good match. I just hope Kane wins. If not, then Batista. Anyones better than Khali lol

That's awesome. When's the GAB? Is that this sunday or next sunday?
 
OMG, that was unexpected. I got exited seeing someone new with the belt. If he retains it, that will renew the show.

ps - Gotta watch more Beth Phoenix now. ;D
 
Someone at work told me that Khali is going to drop the belt at American Bash. He basically only won the belt so someone else can get over on him. He told me batista getting it but I don't know if he knew that it was a triple threat match. I'm hoping Kane takes it.
 
It would be nice to see Kane w/ the title let see when was the last time Kane held a WWE title oh thats right it was i think the Bad Blood PPV. Where he wrestled Stone Cold Steve Austin in a First Blood match to only lose it the next night on Raw. I'm pretty sure thats the last time he has held the world title but it would be nice to see him w/ it.

Also I caught some of Raw and the skit did make my laugh i want u to put your large piece of wood in my hand rofl. Also i saw Big Daddy V OMG MANBOOBIES RUN AWAY lol but his gimck is making me think of Vader w/ the whole hand sign. Well i also saw how ever is for Cena blah i hope Lashley wins i mean please Vince get the title off of Cena and make him a bad guy.

Also yea Razon is not in the greatest shape of his life but i beat u if he did i thinkk WWE or even TNA would sign him. I mean look at TNA they have alot of older wrestling and yes see the Outsiders get back together would be just 2 sweet i had to throw that in there but i'll probably just find out what happen mon. for the GAB i'll be out of town in AL for a concert.
 
I really do hope Khali is dropping the belt at American bash. And I hope its to kane. Kinda like John Cena I've seen a bit too much of Batista with the championship. Kane hasnt held it in like 8 yrs...he need a turn -.-
 
oh btw, WWE has an article on the Curse of the Smackdown Championship...interesting enough to read

Curse of the Champions?
By Louie Dee
Written: July 18, 2007

Just more than two years ago, the World Heavyweight Championship came to SmackDown when then-champion Batista was selected in the 2005 Draft Lottery. As the richest prize in sports-entertainment, the World Heavyweight Championship instantly became the object of desire for the SmackDown Superstars.

But since becoming the (pun intended) gold standard on Friday nights, the title has seemingly become a curse to anyone who holds it.

Okay, so after reading that statement, you’re probably wondering the same thing everyone else is: How the hell can reaching the pinnacle of your profession actually be a BAD thing? Well, really, it’s not…if you’re a surgeon, that is.

Since Batista brought the gold to SmackDown, EVERYONE that has held it has been put on the sidelines within six months of their title reign. From The Animal on down to most recent ex-champion Edge, the infirmary has become SmackDown’s most popular post-championship destination.

Think that idea is a little bogus? Sorry, but the following chronology doesn’t lie:

January 2006: Batista suffers a torn triceps during a match with Mark Henry at a WWE live event. As a result, The Animal surrenders the World Heavyweight Championship on January 10 in Philadelphia; Theodore Long holds a Battle Royal to determine a new champion while Batista undergoes surgery and is out of action for six months.

Summer 2006: After losing the gold at WrestleMania in April, Kurt Angle suffers a multitude of injuries throughout the summer, most seriously a torn groin muscle in August. Later that same month, Angle is released from WWE.

October 2006: Rey Mysterio, who won the gold from Angle, suffers a serious knee injury at the hands of Chavo Guerrero. Mysterio, only three months removed from being champion, is put on the shelf indefinitely; as of this article, he still has yet to return.

April 2007: King Booker, who defeated Mysterio for the gold but lost it to Batista at Survivor Series in late-November, is knocked out of action by then-champion Undertaker. Thanks to a Tombstone on the announce table, Booker suffers a sprained and strained neck. He was never seen on SmackDown again, as he was drafted to Raw on June 11, and has since returned to action on Monday nights.

Later that same month, Undertaker suffered a torn biceps just weeks after winning the gold. Edge swooped in, picked the bones and took the title while The Deadman took a trip to the disabled list; Edge, however, solidified the curse theory by relinquishing the gold due to injury on Tuesday night.

Quite a streak, isn’t it? Sure, you might say that being a champion is tough, and many WWE Superstars will admit that keeping a title is much harder than winning it. All true, but look no further than WWE Champion John Cena. He’s been WWE Champion for the majority of the time SmackDown has had the World Title on Friday nights; however, no matter what anyone has done to him over the last two years, he’s barely missed a match, let alone been put out of action for a significant period of time. Is this simply a coincidence, or evidence of a curse?

If you’re still thinking this is silly, I present to you the “John Madden Jinx” as evidence. Much like what holding the World Heavyweight Championship has done to SmackDown Superstars, gracing the cover of the EA Sports annual John Madden Football video game has ended up becoming a harbinger of bad things for the NFL players who have done it.

From Garrison Hearst in 1998 to Shaun Alexander in 2006, every athlete on the cover of the game has been injured or had an awful season the year they appeared. Just as brief examples, Hearst broke his ankle in the 1998 playoffs and was never the same again, QBs Michael Vick (2004) and Donovan McNabb (2006) suffered major leg injuries that cost them most of the season, and Barry Sanders (1999) actually retired abruptly before that season even began.

So can this curse be broken? Well, sure; after all, the Boston Red Sox finally “reversed the curse” in 2004 when they broke the almost century-old “Curse of the Bambino” and won the World Series. The Chicago White Sox ended a similar curse a year later. And even in sports-entertainment there’s hope; Batista again held the World Heavyweight Championship from last November to this April, and he’s still healthy. Of course, the disdain of the Chicago Cubs for Billy Sianis’ goat has kept them out of the World Series for 62 years, but maybe that’s just the exception these days.

So what does the future hold? Well, only time will tell whether The Great Khali will suffer the same fate as his predecessors. As he embarks on his first championship reign, many of our fans may be wondering how anyone can survive against the 7-foot-3, 420-pound Punjabi powerhouse.

But in the devil’s eyes, the real question might be this: Can The Great Khali survive his own situation?

Yeah I've picked on up that when I found out Edge was injured. I've never seen so many wrestlers having to forfeit their title as much as I have in the recent year with this world title. Makes me wonder whos next.

Here is a nice little "april fools" type joke that flared rumors. But the artical doesn't state that the rumors were proven false.

Umaga to TNA! or no? (clicky)

Shoot knowing WWE they probably would have him win the belt while still being WWE champion and reunite the two belts again to become the undisputed champion. But if he gets that "curse" he won't last for years at least.
 
I loved that undisputed champion angle and I would never in a million years would've guessed Jericho would get to be the 1st. lol
 
Yeah same here. Was only a midcarder at best in ECW and WCW. For him to be the 1st undisputed champ over taker, austin, rock, and HHH is really impressive since those 4 are the company's biggest stars during that time and still are in a way.
 
Nope by what i hear he is going to go back to the WWE is what i've been reading here latley but i could be wrong who knows.
