• Wrestling News & Wrestling Rumors – WWE & TNA

Smackdown Kicks off from Madiason Square Garden, New York City. They start with a promo video using the voice over artist who does the pay-per-views, announcing a fatal four way elimination match, Jeff Hardy vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho vs. Kane. Winner is No.1 contender to the World Heavyweight Championship at Judgment Day.

Pyro erupts at the World’s Most Famous Arena, and Chris Jericho (Smackdown’s newest draft pick) hits the ring, getting his usual heat. He grabs the mic and begins the usual promo, about how he’s the best wrestler in the world and everyone else is a hypocrite. He continues… stating he was the superstar of the year in 2008 and how it’s a travesty that he has to compete in a fatal four way match. New World Heavyweight Champ for the unrealistic and worthless 9th time, Edge hit the ring getting just as many boos as Jericho. Edge begins bysaying Jericho is a tormentor of senor citizens and that he is a former world champion in which Cena beat him for. Edge brags that he is the only one who has defeated Cena for the title. He continues to say that this is his yard. He gets big heat by saying the air Canada in Toronto is more famous than the Garden.

Jericho has little to say until CM Punk hits the ring with his briefcase in toe. He then shows Edge footage of him beating him for the World title on Raw last year. Jericho gets in Punk’s face and claims he is being disrespectful by ignoring him. Jericho walks out. Punk takes another dig at Edge saying they will face each other in the Main Event tonight. Edge says he is looking forward to a warm up match. Punk continues with a tease of cashing in the briefcase after the match.

JR and Todd talk draft picks… Rey Mysterio Candice Michelle and John Morrison…

John Morrison defeated Shelton Benjamin via pinfall.

Shelton Benjamin is a gold wrestler with bronze charisma. It’s a real shame that he hasn’t really had the right gimmick or push to find some solid ground to build himself a character. I really think his success lies within a rivalry with R-Truth. Morrison Hit the Moon light drive for the Pin.

Recap of the Sherry Sheppard/MVP Angle. MVP will have Sherry in his corner in his United States Championship Match against Dolph Ziggler.

Jericho is in Teddy longs Office. He argues that he should be given the title shot at Judgment day, instead of having to compete in a fatal four way. The Punjabi Playboy bumps into Jericho. Jericho thinks he’s showing him disrespect, but rajin singnh says he should get over himself.

Jeff Hardy last eliminates Rey Mystreio to become No.1 Contender at Judgment Day for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Top Match with a lot of back and forth action. Kane was eliminated first with a very weak pinfall from Jericho after Jeff hit Kane with the Swanton Bomb. Kane was irate and began throwing steel chairs in to the ring. Jericho hit Rey for a disqualification. Then there were two; Jeff and Rey, High flyer vs. High Flyer, very evenly matched wrestlers, both openly capable of countering each other’s moves. Jeff Hardy counter’s a spring board with a reverse roll up for the win. I wish they had more crowd pleasers like this. Best match in Months.

Smackdown’s Newest duo Cryme Time Hit the ring. In their home town New York City. They have a ‘Brooklyn Breakdown Dance off’ with Layla and Eve Torres. It’s Nice to see beautiful women dancing in the ring to pumping music and flashing lights. As Eve wins a Cat fight ensures with Layla, and with ‘Take it off chants”!

Sherri Shepard and MVP are Backstage. Sherri is dressed in one of Ric Flair’s robes! She invites MVP to the View taping on Monday morning before a Nightly Monday Night Raw. She seems to be really getting into the hype. It’s good to see WWE has some passionate Celebrity fans.

MVP defeated Dolph Ziggler to retain the US Championship

MVP hit Dolph with the playmaker for the pin. Sherri Got involved by getting up on the apron and slapping Dolph when he asked for a kiss.

Jericho Continues his verbal assault on Teddy Long for ill treatment in the match. He gets into a brawl with John Morrison. (Possible Feud, Face turn for Morrison?)

Very evenly matched match a lot of countering. Edge even using a sharp shooter on punk after a failed GTS. Punk finally hits Edge with the GTS for the win. After, Punk goes for the briefcase and tells the referee to announce a Money in the bank World title Match before the bell is tolled to begin the match, a returning Umaga hits Punk with a kick and a spining powerslam. Edge picks up the briefcase and proceeds to hit Punk with it until Jeff Hardy storms the ring and hits Edge with a twist of fate and a Swanton Bomb.
