WWE SmackDown Results and Commentary

The Big Show def. Domino
Edge and Mick Foley talk about desire and the future

1. Big Show makes short work of Domino. Umaga comes out. I yell “Welcome home to Pennsy Umaga…now go back to Allentown!” My genealogical accuracy might be off but my endurance is beginning to wane. We’ve been here since 7:00 p.m. and it’s now almost 11:00 p.m. I’m a lot more tired than I expected.

2. Let’s just say Edge’s introspection is compelling as is his drawn out dialouge with Mick Foley. But we wanted a main event! We wanted wrestling! And if not we wanted to see the Undertaker. That’s why we chanted “UN-der-TAK-er, clap clap clap-clap-clap, UN-der-TAK-er, clap clap clap-clap-clap, UN-der-TAK-er, clap clap clap-clap-clap.” We wanted to see the Undead Superstar more than we wanted to see Edge’s angst. Heck, we would have even settled for Paul Bearer. It didn’t happen.

I’m not saying Mick Foley wasn’t great. He was. But the entire Hershey, Pa. Giant Center crowd left disappointed. We did too.

Wrestlemania 24 Quick Results

Raw Recap (March 24, 2008)

Kris — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 21:00:22 +0000

United States Champion MVP & Carlito def. Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho & CM Punk
The Great Khali def. Hardcore Holly
Santino Marella, Melina & Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix def. Jerry “The King” Lawler, Maria & Ashley in an Intergender Tag Team Match
Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Triple H & John Cena def. Umaga, John “Bradshaw” Layfield, The Big Show & WWE Champion Randy Orton in a No-Disqualification WrestleMania Showcase Match

Th main event this week on Raw was definitely above average in my book with Batista attacking Umaga and Finlay assaulting JBL but the hype for Wrestlemania doesn’t feel any bigger now then when the Big Show-Mayweather match storyline began or the triple-threat WWE Championship main event was set up. Right now I am most looking forward to Flair’s career threatening match with HBK (as surprised as I am to say that), the Money in the Bank match (though it would have been much better in my eyes had Jeff Hardy not been suspended), and the Heavyweight Championship match between Undertaker and Edge. I think last year’s Wrestlemania will be hard to top and perhaps that has made me feel slighted on the promotion of this one but I hope the outside feel will make this Wrestlemania one to remember.
