Smackdown (week 6 - 05.19.2008)

Head over to TMZ.com to hear a phone conversation between Hulk Hogan and his son Nick, blaming the fact that the other kid in Nick's car-racing crash is a vegetable on God punishing him.

What the fuck?!

Can you believe One Night Stand (ONS) is only one week away?! Not really. While the gimmicks are intriguing, I've somehow been roped into attending my sister's wedding shower that night, so it doesn't seem like I'll be getting this PPV.

Speaking of PPV's, I was 2/6 on my Judgment Day predictions. Technically, I was 2/7, but I didn't know there was going to be a Jeff Hardy/MVP match added at the last second.

So . . . Smackdown.

Show opened with Vickie Guerrero and Edge letting us all know that if Undertaker loses his match with Edge at ONS, he'll be "banished" from the WWE. Does that mean "fired?" Such a bizarre word choice.

Teddy Long made his final Smackdown appearance in MVP's VIP Lounge, where MVP chastised him for making MVP jump through so many hoops upon his debut in WWE. Batista came out and trashed the place, sticking up for Teddy in the process. Of course, MVP was pissed, so he demanded . . . something . . . and Vickie made a match between him and Batista for TONIGHT!

For some reason, Kofi Kingston & Matt Hardy teamed up to take on Shelton Benjamin & Elijah Burke. I don't recall Burke and Hardy having any beef, but Burke could be a good contender for the US Title. That man can wrestle! Give him a chance!!! Oh, Kofi & Matt won.

Deuce, Domino, & Maryse beat Jesse, Festus, & Cherry after Maryse kicked Cherry in the face. Cherry attempted a bulldog in this match, and fucked it up so bad it looked cool.

Kozlov over Nunzio with his lame finisher. Michael Cole even said "lights out!" Sounds like someone in the office has been reading the Stunt Granny! Now turn off the lights when Kozlov wins!!!

In another mysterious Chuck Palumbo match, he took on Finlay. Actually a decent match, there was some brutal-looking punches and kicks, of all things. Finlay won after Hornswoggle somehow spit the green mist even though he's not Asian and Finlay cracked Palumbo with his shillelagh. No Irish can have the Greendular Gland! I'm not liking Finaly winning by use of a wooden stick, though, when he was the brutal-looking Celtic Cross.

Main event was Undertaker versus Chavo with La Familia at ringside. Edge, Ryder, & Hawkins were all made to leave for some reason by Charles Robinson, but Bam Neely was allowed to stay and distract 'Taker every chance he got? Huh? Of course, 'Taker won.

Number of shoulders meeting ringposts: 3
