M.V.P. holds a V.I.P. Lounge with Jeff Hardy.
Shelton Benjamin def. Jimmy Wang Yang
Jesse and Festus def. Ryder and Hawkins

Segment One
M.V.P. is tired. His V.I.P. Lounge is even tired-er. His guest, on the other hand, is the best-est of the best: Jeff Hardy! The Ultimate Thrill Seeker seems to be taking some chances with his hair color which has shifted to a grandmother-worthy blue. M.V.P. announces the night’s Main Event: a huge Battle Royale with seemingly every SmackDown superstar.
Jeff Hardy wonders how M.V.P. can be so confident despite the fact that he’s become a …read more

Match Number Eight
Triple H vs. Edge
for the WWE Championship
Triple H Wins
A WWE phone poll says 55% have more sympathy for Edge while 45% side with Vickie. We can’t believe that many people are with Vickie. Really surprising. Another Eve Torres moment…
…
…
Where were we? Edge comes out with nearly as much greasy wet hair as his opponent. The greasy hair gap has been closed. Edge to Edge. The bell rings and Edge rushes at him with the intensity of a woman scorned. Triple H easily eschews his impetuousness and starts the assumed beat down.
The entire front row has …read more

Segment Nine:
Who is more dastardly then Ryder and Hawkins? No one. They do Vickie Guerrero’s evil bidding, they’re extremely cowardly, and in this match they get themselves counted out on purpose. Why would they do that? So they end-of-the-match bell rings and Festus returns to his catatonic state. How craven? How horrible? How mean?
Their stupid tactic backfires when Jesse re-rings the bell …read more

Friday Night SmackDown, May 30, 2008
Match Four
Batista and Big Show def. Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins
Batista’s music and intro happens and I guess the Main Event happening at the half way point. Who will be Batista’s tag team friend? Batista grabs the mic and proudly declares “I don’t need a partner.” We don’t think Hawkins and Ryder are particularly fearsome either. They look pretty cocky and Mick Foley thinks it’s foolish confidence. He is soooo right.
The still wheelchair-bound Vickie Guerrero feels the need to taunt the Animal about his apparent friendlessness. But Batista has some clever semantics in store “I …read more

Friday Night SmackDown, May 30, 2008
The Setup
Batista sure cleans up well. He’s decked out in a pitch black pinstripe suit with a black tie and sun glasses that seem to have a gargoyle on their sides. Versaces, of course. He wants forgiveness from the people because he wants to “hurt Shawn Michaels“. It’s OK Animal, we understand.

Vickie Guerrero, however, doesn’t understand. She’s being wheeled out by the interchangeable Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins and she warns Batista not to look past Michaels and to the Heavyweight championship because he might not even be inSmackDown (in the future). The 2008 Draft …read more

For Part One of the May 16 SmackDown recap click here.
The proud half dozen make their way towards the ring looking increasingly paranoid. Are they afraid of a second indoor lightning strike? Edge is, well, edgy. Either Curt Hawkins or Zack Ryder is pushing Vicki Guerrero along. We can’t tell them apart. But where are Chavo Guerrero and Bam Neely? They’ve abandoned Vicki, the Rated-R Entourage, the Rated-R Superstar.

Seven wrestlers had a part in last week’s Smackdown Main Event battle royal ending with Edge securing his Judgment Day PPV title shot against The Undertaker. How many people would be participating in this week’s Smackdown Main Event? Two, three, four? How about another lucky seven!
Six persons including wheelchair-bound Vicki Guerrero vs. The Undertaker. The announcement coming from SmackDown Assistant GM Theodore Long who went behind Vicki Guerrero’s back straight to the WWE Board of Directors. What must that board room look like? We’re thinking it’s bound by a steel cage, cedar wood desk in the middle surrounded by folding …read more

The big news of the show was the contract signing between ECW-champion Kane and former-champion Chavo Guerrero. After Kane signed the contract Chavo introduced a new mystery wrestler, Justin “The Ox” LaRoche, who will be accompanying Guerrero at Backlash. Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder, and Guerrero then attacked Kane before finally signing the PPV contract.
