The Smackdown! Summary 9.22.06

Posted on Sep 23, 2006.

Big Main Event as King Booker takes on the dead man.

Finally, after a three week hiatis the Smackdown! Summary returns! I’m asking you to bear with as I’m suffering through a toothache while recapping Smackdown.

Smackdown comes to ou from Montreal, Canada. Your hosts are Michael Cole and JBL.

We open with King Booker and Queen Sharmell busting into Teddy Long’s office to complain about the Booker’s match with Vito. Long informs Booker that Vito has stepped aside and that The Undertaker is his replacement. Booker is extremely pissed.

Bastista & Bobby Lashley vs William Regal & Finlay
Regal jumps Batista at the bell, but Batista gets the upper hand with some shoulder blocks and a clothesline in the corner. Back drop and a powerslam by Batista. He sets up for the Batista bomb but Finlay provokes him and Batista chases him around the ring. Regal tries to get the jump on Batista again but Batista nails the spine buster but Finlay breaks it up at two. Lashley tags in a we get a double stalling suplex on Regal followed by a snap suplex for two. Lashley misses a corner charge and posts himself allowing Regal to make the tag. Lashley with a belly to belly and a variation of the de-railer that gets two more. Finlay tosses Lashley outside and Regal sneaks in a clothesline for good measure. Back inside they take turns working Lashley over. Quick tags and Regal hits a butterfly suplex for two. Batista calling for the tag but Regal and Finlay draw the ref’s attention and continue to isolate Lashley. Finally, Batista has had enough and he comes in illegally and attacks Finlay. Batista and Finlay fight to the outside and Batista kicks him over the rail. Regal tries to get to the shilegah but Batista takes it away. Spear by Lashley and that’s all. **1/4

Winners: Batista & Bobby Lashley via pinfall @ 7:24

Layla El is out to talk about Smackdown premiering on the CW Network. She starts to dance which brings out Kristal. Kristal says she is tired of all the diva search sluts, whoops, winners taking up the spot light because she is the hottest diva on Smackdown! Caaaattfiiiighttttt!!! Jillian Hall comes down to make the save and rips off Kristal’s top! Then she tears off Layla’s clothes and then her own. Didn’t see that coming.

We get a Rey and Chavo video package.

Nontitle: Matt Hardy vs Gregory Helms
Hardy unloads on Helms to start. Hardy all over Helms and back drops him over the top. Hardy with a plancha to the outside and tosses Helms back in. Helms gets the boots up in the corner and goes up top but Hardy cuts him off with a right. They’re both up top now and Helms gets a thumb to the eye and snaps Hardy’s neck over the ropes. Back in Helms begins to the work the neck. Rolling arm drag and an elbow get two. Side head lock but Hardy fights out. Helms drops him with a jaw breaker across the knee for two more. Helms back to the sleeper and again Hardy punches out. Hardy ducks a clothesline and hits the side effect for two. Hardy with a back elbow and goes up top- moonsault for two again. Hardy calling for the twist of fate but Helms hangs onto the ropes. Shining wizard by Helms- one, two, thre-no! Hardy is still alive! While Helms tries to undo the turnbuckle, Hardy sneaks a low blow and steals the victory. ***½

Winner: Matt Hardy via pinfall @ 5:45

The Miz says some garbage I really can’t understand. I hate this guy.

Jimmy Wang Yang cuts a horrible promo on Canadians.

They start with a series or arm drags and reversals with Miz stopping to pose or dance everytime he scores a move. Funaki hits a dropkick but misses a second allowing Miz to gain the advantage with some chokes and kicks. The Miz with a suplex for two. Swinging neck breaker gets the win? -8*

Winner: The Miz via pinfall @ 2:23

Rey gives an interview backstage. Chavo and Vickie apparently rapped his soul when they double crossed him. But now he starts the first day of the rest of his life.

John Cena’s “Marine” package.

Chavo Guerrero w/ Vickie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio
Chavo attacks Rey at the bell but Rey takes over with a headscissors that sends chavo to the outside. Seated senton from the apron and they spill over the rail. They fight through the crowd with Rey hitting a seated senton from the barricade on Chavo on the concrete. The ref is out in the crowd trying to wave the match off but Rey doesn’t care. He beats Chavo all the way back to the ring where Vickie slides Chavo a chair. Rey with a springboard dropkick to the chair. Vickie tries to slap Rey providing enough of a distraction for Chavo to get the upper hand. The officials finally pull them apart.

No Contest

WWE Tagteam Championship: Brian Kendrick & Paul London vs The Pitbulls vs Idol Stevens & KC James
Unfortunately, my tooth is throbbing and I am unable to keep up with everything. It’s triple threat rules which means one man from each team is the ring at all times. Wild and crazy action until Kendrick gets a hot tag to London who cleans house. Drop kicks to Kash and Stevens. Hurricanrana to Noble. Dropsault to James. Mushroom stomp to James for two. The pitbulls double team London and Kash hits the dead level. Kendrick with slice bread #2 to Kash. Stevens with a sky high back breaker to Kendrick for two but then he posts himself. Noble with a tiger driver attempt on London but it’s countered. Noble counters into a roll up but James clothesline him allowing London to roll through and reverse the pin.***3/4

Winners: Paul London & Brian Kendrick via pinfall @ 5:04

We get a video of Batista getting mad love in the Philippines.

The crowd is absolutely electric for Sylvan. Lock up to start and Sylvan with rights. Tatanka comes back with rights and chops of his own. Back drop and a suplex by Tatanka get two. Tatanka with a kidney shot and a back breaker. Sylvan comes back with rights and the crowd is hot for him???!!!Sylvan wants to get a t-bone but has to settle for a spinebuster instead. Sylvan reverses an irish whip and gets a dropkick followed by a spinning, falling back drop and the crowd is about to have an orgasm. Tatanka tossed to the outside. He gets back to the apron and goes for a sunset flip. Bad positioning by the ref allows Sylvan to drop down and grab the ropes to steal the win. *

Winner: Sylvan via pinfall @ 3:42

John Cena shows up to thank Teddy Long. For some reason Cena “owes Long one.” Long wants to cash in the favor immediately. Cena agrees to team with Lashley and Batista against King Booker and his court.

Cole and JBL run down the No Mercy card. Wow, advanced booking.

Mr. Kennedy is out to do commentary for our main event.

The Undertaker vs King Booker w/ Queen Sharmell
The Undertaker (UT) circles King Booker (KB) like a cobra waiting to strike. KB throws the first punch which only irritates UT. KB bails to the outside and UT pursues. KB attacks UT as he re enters the ring. UT with a whip but telegraphs the back drop and KB lands a stiff kick. UT shrugs it off and clotheslines KB over the top. UT sends KB into the steps as we go to commercial….. back from the break UT is in control and hits a big boot for two. Hanging arm wrench by UT as he works over the arm. Ut goes for old school but Sharmell distracts the ref allowing KB to hit a low blow and a superplex. UT crawls to the roes and KB hits the scissors kick from the apron! KB with rights, pummeling UT in the corner. Sideslam by KB and they spill outside. HE tosses UT back in and hits a dropkick for two. UT fights back with rights but KB nails a ddt for two again. UT again with rights, sent off the ropes but hits the flying clothesline for two. Snake eyes and the yakuza kick followed by the leg drop for two more. UT goes for the chokeslam but KB elbows out., ducks a clothesline, and hits a jumping sidekick for two. KB stalking UT; kick to the midsection, scissors kick- no tombstone attempt-reversed by UT- reversed again by KB and a blatant low blow draws the DQ.***1/2

Winner: The Undertaker via DQ @ 13:05

KB continues the beat down and hits UT with the title. KB heads back up the ramp but as he poses, Lashley appears and throws him back into the ring. KB stares in disbelief as Undertaker sits up. The deadman is up- chokeslam and tombstone. UT stares down Mr. Kennedy as we go off the air.

The Summary: Great show for the premier of Smackdown on the new CW network. This one episode of Smackdown had more matches than two weeks of Raw. Everything ran well except the whole Miz thing. That guy really blows. We actually have a tag division. Take that Raw. For once, the future of Smackdown looks promising.
