Huzzah, I made it first! Here are the spoilers for this week's dark matches and Velocity startin' it off...
Dark Matches:
Orlando Jordan d. Bobby Rude
Orlando came out to a decent pop in the beginning, but there wasn't much crowd reaction during the match. Bobby Rude received a "we don't know you" chant. Jordan won with his finisher, which I don't know the name of.
Rhyno and Horshu d. Tyson Dux and Jason ???
Rhyno came out to a pop as well, and there were plenty of "Gore!" chants. Horshu is a solid big man, and showed off his strength. Tyson Dux is a hell of a dancer. Match ended when Rhyno gored Tyson.
Velocity:
TWGTT d. Billy Kidman and Funaki
Kidman landed a sweet drop kick, and the crowd cheered for Funaki, but TWGTT got the win after Shelton landed the super kick on Funaki, rolling Haas on top for the pin.
Shawn O'Haire d. Showtime Eric Young
Not great but not awful either. I was just happy to see O'Haire in the ring.
Spanky and Paul London d. Moore and Kanyon
Spanky had Kanyon in what looked like a face first Russian leg sweep position when London hit the enziguiri on Kanyon. I'm not doing the move justice, but it was nice! Other than that, it was 3 cruiserweights and Kanyon, all being effectively wasted...
Rikishi, with Scotty 2 Hotty, d. Chuck Palumbo, with Johnny the Bull
End comes after a Banzai drop from Rikishi. Scotty does the worm after the match. Thankfully no Stinkface.
It's Smackdown Time, with my opinions in bold, for an easier reading experience: Smackdown Tapings
John Cena d. Rey Mysterio
Fans took to Cena as a total babyface from the start. Loud Cena Chants. For his pre-match rap, Cena absolutely ripped Mysterio apart, one of his beat raps yet, that you really need to hear/see. At one point in the match Cena had Mysterio up for a hanging vertical suplex, and did the “you can’t see me” taunt whole holding Mysterio up for the suplex. After a ref bump, Cena caught Mysterio coming off the ropes with a low blow, and hit the F-U DVD for the pin.Sounds like a pretty good opener to me, how 'bout you?
Post Match, Heyman and Team Lesnar came out and Heyman ordered Cena to take the 5th spot. He turned them down, saying that nobody tells him what to do. He was then attacked from behind by A-Train who came through the crowd. They all laid him out, finishing with Brock drilling him with a BRUTAL unprotected chairshot.
Heyman on behalf of Brock Lesnar offers A-Train the 5th spot and he accepts it.Betcha by golly WOW!
Taped Undertaker Interview
Taker talked about how Vince has made peoples lives a living hell, showed the Montreal Screwjob footage in the background, mentioning Bret and Austin specifically. Ran down all the stuff he did to his family, noting that this is normal everyday life for Vince. Taker pointed out that the date of survivor series will mark his 13th year in the company, and how he was going to end Vince’s reign of terror.Good lord, ANOTHER history lesson?! We get it, you're burying Vince alive, you're living out the dream of every intelligent wrestling fan, good for you. So, why don't you just start looking for your shovel and we'll meet you in the backyard?
Big Show d. Bradshaw
Terrible match that had the loudest Boring chant I’ve ever heard live. Show won with the Chokeslam.
Heyman told Torrie to do “something” for him in less than three minutes, and she better have a smile on her face when she does it. INUENDO~!Thank you once again for becoming credible, Trish. I doubt Torrie will follow your lead.
Bob Holly Promo Video
Basally had a bunch of people talking about just how tough and mean Bob Holly is. I’m not sure pushing a guy who’s closing in on forty should be the top priority.I've seen Randy Couture, don't mock the old people!
Backstage Promo with Los Guerreros
Chavo told Eddie that he needed to win this match for HIM, because Eddie was the one who cost them the tag titles. Very very subtle heel overtones from Chavo, but could just as easily be construed as a motivational promo. I hope they don’t do this turn.Reviving the telegraph, if you guys know what I mean...
Eddie Guerrero d. Basham Brothers
Basham’s have a new video and music, picturing them dressed up in bondage gear. As Eddie was going up for the frog splash, Shaniqua went up to knock him off the apron, but the ref stopped her. Eddie saw this, hoped down, grabbed Shaniqua whip, smacked the ref on the ass with it, and tossed the whip to Danny Basham. The ref turned around, and accused Danny of hitting him, as Danny pleaded his case, Eddie rolled him up from behind for the pin.You may not believe this, but one year, I pretended I was a mistress (of the S&M variety). I was told I had the right voice for it. Just wanted to let you know that.
Angle and Benoit are talking about how Ron Simmons is injured and out of Survivor Series, when Torrie comes up and tells them that they have to face Brock, Jones, Morgan and A-Train in a 4-2-handicap match tonight.So, Torrie earned another easy paycheck. Once again Trish, thank you very, very much.
Vince McMahon In-Ring Interview
Vince came out and asked for forgiveness for what he would do at Survivor Series. The lights darkened, and Vince was covered in a spotlight, adding a really evil looking effect. Vince basically said that a power from above has ordered him to destroy the Infidel (Undertaker). You mean a power from below, don't you vince?
Noble/Tajiri announced for Survivor SeriesFor NIDIA!
Jamie Noble/Ultimo Dragon vs. Nunzio/Tajiri w/Yakuza
Noble pins Tajiri, clean in the middle to set up his title shot at Survivor Series. Should be noted that Dragon got on of the biggest pops of the night despite being one of the least pushed guys on the roster.Clinching my RSPW vote for Worst Promotional move is.....
Kurt Angle/Chris Benoit vs. Brock Lesnar/Nathan Jones/Matt Morgan/A-Train
Kurt Angle started the match against Nathan Jones, which was perversely entertaining on so many levels. The best wrestler in the world and one of the worst all time in the ring, great. Jones didn’t embarrass himself, but looked totally lost and resorted to doing Hogan like throws out of lockups, his big boot and a bodyslam. That the only three moved he did. Seriously. Anyways, Brock joined Cole and Tazz for commentary at the start of the match and joined it mid way through. After awhile, Angle and Benoit had both their finishes on, ready for a double tapout, but Big Show ran in for the DQ. Bradshaw had the save only to get destroyed. Then Cena ran out to a HUGE ovation and cleaned house with a chair. Sadly, Cena was also overcome eventually and the show ended with all the heels posing as they did last week.Awwww, another sad ending. Who's Matt Morgan again?
After the camera’s stopped rolling, Train attacked Cena in the entranceway, and they brawled to the ring where Cena hit the F-U and posed to send the fans home happy.
Loudest Face Reactions
Cena (BY FAR) Rey Mysterio Kurt Angle
Most Heat
Vince McMahon Paul Heyman Brock Lesnar
So ends the spoilers. I hope I didn't sound too smarkish, ;-). I don't know how the hell they'll put out the show with last week being an abortion wrestling wise. You know how those post-production bastards can be.

(edited by Ringmistress on 5.11.03 0653) After a quarter of a century on this planet, there's three things I know for sure... 1)I'm smarter than I was a year ago. 2)WWE isn't. 3) I'd make a fine Mrs. HHH II. 1300 bitches and counting....
I guess this means they aborted the TWGTT face turn for the time being. Considering they have 47 other people turning, might as well save something. Nathan Jones didn't injure anyone. Hopefully he can go another week and a half on such a streak. Everyone on Angle's team gets beaten down at the end of the match except for Token Jobber Holly? I thought maybe they could go a year without connecting Montreal and Survivor Series. For the love of God, it was 1997, its now 2003; move on already.
Why Pro Wrestling proves the INS cannot keep terrorists out of the United States: If a felon like Nathan Jones is allowed into the United States with no special skills (unless being totally inept in the ring counts, but I think there are enough totally inept people in the US to keep that skill from being unique or special), then how the hell can they justify keeping anyone else out?

It was a halloween thing. I was pretty hot, but the guys were howling when I started ordering them around. They think I'd be the best if I ever tried it for real. Sounds interesting, but not in my future

If they were going to do a face turn for Haas & Benjamin, they should have had them patch things up with Kurt (no saying that they'd reform Team Angle, but have a respect for each other). Then Team Angle at Survivor Series would be Kurt, Haas, Benjamin, Benoit & Cena ... Now that's a cool team.
Something tells me that Angle & Cena will be the sole surviors ... that will cement Cena as a face.
Too bad Team Lesnar didn't get Sean O'Haire ... I hear he was too busy on Veocity to sign up.

If you have a pic of you in that outfit, I think it would make a great profile pic here. :)
"This just got a hell of a lot better." - Stifler, American Pie
I was at these tapings too and i have some thoughts. First of all we went to our seats which were row 12 on the floor and they werent there. So we got better seats. Row 5 with the TV cameras right behind us. We had the ring right in front of us and it was great.
Rue came out and song America the Beautiful.RUE is hot and damn can she sing.
YOU NEED TO WATCH VELOCITY!!!!!!!!!! During the Kanyon match my friend Joe and I kept yelling MORTIS at Kanyon. Several times during the match Kanyon looked at us with this very pissed off look. Since we were in front of the cameras, you will probably be able to see Kanyon's look. It was priceless. It was one of the greatest moments ever. I LOVE VELOCITY!!!!!!!!!
Onto Smackdown! The music hit and we sang the song and then it was the fireworks. An awesome display no matter where you are in the arena but even better from the floor. The first match was Cena vs. Rey. A pretty good match untill THE A-TRAIN INTERFERED. John Cena turned face.
EDDIE GUERRERO STOLE MY LOWRIDER. And he had it with him. Funny thing of this match. Eddie was fighting the Bashams in a hanicapped match and the guy behind my yells to Eddie "They wanna take a warm shower with you". Then Eddie faces us and yells "HE'S A HOMO" right to us and the guy behind us. He yelled it right at the camera too, so i'm not sure if they will edit that out.
Vince McMahon cut a very eerie promo. He got into the ring, told them to kill the lights and had a spotlight put on him. He talked about how he wants forgiveness and was "Chosen". He gave this look that made him look like a crazed maniac. This was all really wierd. I didn't care though. I was cheering for him as everyone was booing for him. We all know that he is the one responsible for all this.
THE ULTIMO DRAGON'S FIRE IS HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You could feel it all the way where we were, by the ring. It is a pretty cool display though.
OK. Main event time. The main event was all of Brock's team, minus Big Show against Benoit and Angle. Brock did color for a while but then got in the match. This is where i had the best time. I HATE THE A-TRAIN. And since i was only 5 rows away from him, i thought i would vent my anger at him. I was cursing at him, very loudly and even gave him the one finger salute a couple times. He saw me and got all angry so i yelled back at him and did a couple other of things like showing him my finger. He was getting pretty mad but i don't care because I HATE HIM. I told him that too. REALLY LOUDLY. You will probably here it on tv because the camera that moves around was right over me when i yelled. At the end i was happy because now A-TRAIN really knows how myself and every other wrestling fan in the world feels about him.
After the show we went in the back of the arena parking lot, where all the wrestlers will come out. We saw John Cena, who signed autographs for a while, Sgt. Slaughter, and Brian Hebner, plus a few other people who were not recognizeable because it was dark.
All in all i was pleased. I got to accomplish some more of my wrestling goals like seeing Vince, and yelling at BIG SLOW and A-TRAIN. I had what was definatly the best WWE live event i have ever gone too and i hope i can do this again. Nothing is better than floor seats. No matter where you are on the floor it is still great.

Not only should you share a pic of this costume but I think I need to hear your dominatrix voice as well. You know for educational purposes.

So now Vince is Muslim? ( I was going to make some comment here but decided to be prudent in case it got my post deleted.)

Not a word, not a word, not a word.
Pretty good SmackDown! coming up, aside from the obvious shoving-down-our-throats of Jones and Morgan. Yay.
DITTO on above!
As Eric Bishoff asks if he's ok I get this message ------------
ssjaj23: Goldberg: What's wrong? I can't sell, I'm sloppy in the ring. I don't like being heel. I have no ring phycology
There is no call for disrespect. Kanyon needs some respect and while I really could care less about A-Train, he is out there performing for our entertainment. Boo whoever you like, but don't make it personal.
And if you think that its fake try to receive a chokeslam, a sweet chin music or a spear without scream or drop a tear..
I agree i know you payed the money and you are allowed to boo but show some respect man these guys are enterainers and nearly every night of the week they bust their asses off for us So calm down and give the guys (and gals) the respct they deserve. Just saw lita getting beaten up by Gail and Molly and my god molly looked hot really looking forward to that match on survivor series.

Posted by CZR You seem unusually interested in this topic since all six of your posts have been about this. Could you explain this desire to know where the tapes are? What's wrong wanting to know where the tapes are?
