Triple H on Smackdown.
WARNING! This post contains SPOILERS if you are reading prior to July 4, 2008.
Michael Cole addresses the Smackdown crowd one last time.
Jim Ross interupts.
Once they were out the crew finished setting up the ring for the opening of the show, once we spotted them moving a couch in the dark we knew the show would open with The V.I.P. Lounge. Out came M.V.P. to a chorus of boos, he then waited in the ring for the show to start.
No matter how much they warn you, you aren't prepared for the noise!
Triple H and MVP talk with Vickie.
Next they brought out a podium for the new Divas Championship belt to sit on, and affixed a pole with a giant star hanging from it to the corner of the ring. It was time to decide who would face Natalya to decide the first champion.
Michelle McCool works the crowd before the match.
The next match was Ryder & Hawkins vs. Jesse & Festus. Keep in mind this will be airing on the Fourth of July.
Jesse & Festus stand victorious, momentarily.
After a short video package of Jeff Hardy it was time for him to make his return to Smackdown!. The crowd went absolutely nuts!
Jeff Hardy suplexes John Morrison.
Next up, the Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga. He had a somewhat surprising opponent though. . . Smackdown’s #1 Reporter, Funaki. This match didn’t last all that long, and of course Umaga was victorious.
To the back where Vickie and a frustrated Edge are having a disagreement. She mentions that he was stupid for going to Raw Monday, and that she didn’t even give him permission to go. That set him off. Watch for the rest of the details on that part of the story.
Matt Hardy heads to the ring to defend his U.S. Title.
Then Edge came down to the ring to talk, and talk, and talk. We greeted him with a nice “You Suck” chant. He went on about how he has had the hardest week in his life professionally, and personally. Also how Vickie wasn’t even supporting him. He then said he had secrets about her that everyone would like to know. At this point Vickie actually came hobbling out with no wheelchair to ask why he was doing this. Stop reading this paragraph here if you don’t want to know how this portion turns out, because it will be fun to watch on your own. . . OK, last chance to scroll down to the next paragraph. . .
Edge told her the wedding was off! Woohoo!
Vickie Guerrero on the entrance ramp.
OK, IT IS SAFE TO READ AGAIN. . .
Next up was the main event, which by the way was different than I had stated in my post last night. Apparently they didn’t adjust the commercial after the draft took place. It was now Mark Henry & Edge vs. The Big Show & Triple H.
Triple H enters the ring.
Edge walks out on the match.
Triple H closes the show at the top of the ramp.
Back to my comments on why they need to split the shows up. . . Matt Hardy, Chavo, and John Morrison all wrestled twice throughout the night. That's just not right. Even if they don't want to split the shows up, since they know the ECW shows wouldn't fill up, they need to make it so everyone wrestles just once within the whole show.
All in all it was a really fun show to attend. They also announced they would be returning to Tulsa very soon. I am hoping this means we get a Raw taping, or maybe even a pay-per-view once our new arena opens in September. (The BOK Center) Hope you enjoy the show Friday, I will be looking for myself on TV as I watch it.
