| #1 Posted on 26.9.03 1434.42 Reposted on: 26.9.10 1435.09 | WWE SmackDown! - 09/25/03 Taped: 09/23/03 Philadelphia, PA
- Tonight
- Cruiserweight Title: Rey Mysterio vs Tajiri
- Tag Team Titles: Los Guerreros vs Matt Hardy (Version One) and Shannon
Moore - US Title: Eddie Guerrero vs Charlie Haas
- If Eddie holds on to both belts, he's going to be a busy man.
- Looks like we're having a belt presentation.
- Brock's name is on the belt.
- Vince and Sable are out to kill my will to recap this
show. - Vince intros Brock, but gets Kurt Angle instead.
- Vince modifies his introduction while Sable heads for safer ground.
- Vince thinks Kurt is out here to complain about Brock's cheat
- Angle's expression says no, so Vince goes to theory 2: Kurt wants to
challenge for a rematch. - Vince lets Kurt know that's not going to happen tonight or any time
soon. - He's got to start from the bottom!
- I wonder if that's Brawler or Kane
- Vince's third theory is that Kurt wants to personally hand over the
belt. - Is that a new belt, anyway? I only notice if they have one.
- Kurt says here's not here to congratulate Brock, unless congratulating
him includes beating him up. - Since he's not getting a title shot, we've got two options - Brock
comes out and gets beaten up, or Angle goes in the back and beats up Brock. - So, it must be time for the King of Interruptions John Cena.
- Atlanta 44, old school.
- This is what he was talking about last week.
- John says Kurt has a vagina in his first rhyme.
- Kurt clotheslines him out of the ring. Back to calling out Brock. He's
not coming out, so Angle's going after him. - Camera in the back eventually catches up to Angle.
- Angle's checking rooms. Found Brock's locker room. He rushes the room
- but no one's there. - Angle leaves the room, and gets jumped by Cena.
- Quickly and not especially violently. But it's annoying enough.
- During the break
- Cena drove off
- Angle stole Vince's limo to follow him
- I guess he got over finding Brock real quick.
- The ring is cleared up for the belt presentation when we come back.
- Los Guerreros (441 pounds, c) vs Matt Hardy (version one) & Shannon
Moore (436 pounds) for the WWE Tag Team Titles, 1st Defense - Why doesn't Chimel announce them as from El Paso?
- Matt Facts: Matt has wrestled with strep throat. (Who won?) Matt hates
taking medicine. - Shelton has had knee surgery after the match last week.
- Matt and Eddie to start. Lockup, break. "I'm V1 UHH"
- Eddie is not impressed.
- Lockup, Eddie with a full nelson, around into a side headlock, shot
off, over, under, Chavo makes a blind tag and hits a dropkick. - Los Guerreros mock V1, but cameras miss it.
- Matt charges into a Chavo drop to hold.
- Tag to Eddie, back suplex, Hilo one two no.
- Eddie with a right, tag to Chavo. Eddie with corner kicks, snap mare
into a Chavo dropkick to the face one two no. - Chavo with European Uppercuts, whip, reversed, Chavo is pulled out by
Shannon, but Chavo punches him down. - He forget about Matt - sliding dropkick takes him out.
- Shannon runs Chavo back first into the apron while Matt is bating
Eddie. - Chavo thrown in, Matt covers one two NO.
- Tag to Shannon, hold for kicks. Shannon with a back suplex. Not nearly
as good as Chavo's. One two no. - Shannon with rights, turnbuckle smash. Tag to Matt.
- Kicks in the corner. Rights.
- Tag to Shannon. Corner whip - wait, no, back in the same direction.
- Shannon with right hands. Whip, clothesline reversed into floataround
DDT (kinda) - Hot (?) tag to Eddie - Chavo disappears rather than stay on the apron
again - Eddie with a clothesline for Shannon, clothesline for Shannon, dropkick for Matt. - Whip for Shannon, backdrop.
- Kick for Matt, run up the corner and Mexican armdrag/headscissors
combo. - Eddie with right hands, whip, reversed, Matt sneaks in a kick. Shannon
off the ropes, swinging neckbreaker one two no. - Matt kicked Chavo away from coming in there.
- Matt yells at Shannon to pick Eddie up - running punch gets Shannon,
but Matt ducks an Eddie punch and hits the Ricochet. - Matt covers, then remembers that Shannon is legal and drags him on
top. - Matt tells Shannon to pick him up again, but this time Chavo sweeps
out the leg as he goes off the ropes. - Eddie back elbow out and then throws him in the path of a Chavo top
rope cross body one two Matt breaks it up. - All four going at it now. Chavo with a corner whip, reversed into a
Mat back suplex and he's out again. - Eddie is taking a moment from punching Shannon in the corner talk
about La Raza - Matt's sneaking up behind him. - Eddie's turned around, kick wham Twist of Shoved Off, Chavo pulls down
the top rope and out goes Shannon. - Eddie's watching that and gets nailed with a Shannon leg lariat one
two NO! - Shan-trum.
- Corner whip, Eddie goes in chest first.
- Shannon to the second rope, Mooregasm but no one's home.
- Chavo back in - back suplex for Shannon as Eddie goes up.
- Frog Splash hits. One two three! (5:25)
- I guess Chavo took care of Matt on the floor, because we never saw him
try to break it up. - Guerreros get their belts. Chavo goes to the low rider as Eddie gets
his second belt and poses. - Matt back in - forearm to the back. SIDE EFFECT ON THE BELT!
- Chavo's finally back in and Matt takes off, but Eddie may be in
trouble for his second title defense now.
- During the break
- While Eddie is still down, Haas is in and throwing Chavo out.
- Forearms, kicks to the back. Haas of Pain.
- Haas gets run off when we're not watching, but he's happy - and
leaving thru the crowd. - A-Train (wait, there's no introduction?)
- A-Train is in one of his ringside cleaning moods.
- OH NO HE'S GOT THE MIC
- Apparently, A-Train would like to feud with - Chris Benoit?
- He challenges everyone. Including the Philly crowd.
- And Cole. "How about you Cole, are you Tough Enough." Wrong
guy. - He knows Tazz thinks he's Tough Enough. I thought we were going to a
match there. - A-Train grabs timekeeper Mark Yeaton, throws him in the ring, and puts
the Crippler Crossface on him. - Benoit has to get his music played before he can make the save.
- A-Train tastes the Crossface, but powers out of it and throws Benoit
to the apron. - Benoit gets up and walks into an A-Train clothesline.
- I think A-Train might have found someone meaningful he can beat.
Maybe. - Backstage, the Trainer thinks that Eddie can't wrestle
- Eddie disagrees. Though he's hurting.
- Backstage, Vince talks about Sable's breasts
- Well not just that, but this goes on far too long without any point.
- Oh they're going to have sex again
- Except a PA interrupts him. Vince yells at him for bad timing.
- They're going to do the belt ceremony again, later.
- Sable promises to have sex with Vince before this is over.
- Josh talks to Charlie Haas
- The odds are in his favor - but then they always are, because he's an
All-American. - He took them out like they took out Shelton and him last week
- And like how Eddie and Chavo took their belts, he's going to take
Eddie's belt. - Your announcers are Tazz and Cole, who gab.

- Rey Mysterio (San Diego, CA, 185 pounds, c) vs Tajiri (Japan, 208
pounds) for the WWE Cruiserweight Title - Tazz is definitely going to see the Run Down since it got two thumbs
up - Too bad Goldust and Booker T are too dead to tell us what they think.

the way and waves him into the corner. - Tarantula on - one two three four let go.
- Tajiri unties the top turnbuckle, but Hebner is standing right there,
so it's going to be put back own immediately. - With Hebner distracted, it seems as though Tajiri is loading up the
mist, but Rey catches him with a couple kicks. - Hebner is paying attention now, and you can see green mist leaking
from Tajiri's mouth. Rey blocked it with those kicks. - Tajiri misses a big high side kick, and Rey dropkicks him.

forearm when we return. - Rey goes for corner punches, but only gets to five before he's knocked
to the apron. - Rey manages a shoulder, then goes up - flying nothing meets kick to

Seriously though, I enjoy your recaps, thanks, and keep up the good work.
