Smackdown spoilers for this friday...
- Spoiler:
- I am back from the Smackdown taping in Hershey, PA. As always, I was sitting in Section H1, Row 4, Seat 1 (on the entrance ramp). I was to the left of the wrestlers as they came to the ring. And, as always, I was cheering every heel and booing every face. I was wearing my Christian / Anti-Orton shirt, which had the phrase “Just Say No To RKO” written on the back.
I had no interest in NXT or Superstars, so I stayed out in the concession part of the arena during that time. I tried to buy another Christian shirt, but they were all sold out. In fact, that was the ONLY shirt that was sold out. There were a lot of random Christian fans throughout the arena with “Still A Peep” signs, but overall, I thought he received a rather heelish reaction.
At the beginning of Smackdown, I made my way down to my seat. One quarter of the arena was tarped off. Booker T got a huge ovation as he came down the ramp. Michael Cole and Josh Mathews followed.
To begin the show, Teddy Long called out Christian and talked to him about the shady finish of his match with Randy Orton at Capitol Punishment. Christian demanded another title match because he got screwed. Teddy Long told Christian that he would have to EARN another title match. And that opportunity would come later tonight against… Kane!
In the first match of the night, Sin Cara beat Ted Dibiase, Jr. A cameraman actually had to point to where Sin Cara was supposed to be looking at the end of the match. Wow…
Next, Cody Rhodes beat Daniel Bryan. The “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes was used as part of Daniel Bryan’s pre-match promo. I caught Booker T & Michael Cole joking around with a paper bag during the match. Ted Dibiase, Jr. came out mid-way through the match to be in Cody’s corner. At this point, I thought Cody received the biggest heat of the night, until… (more on that later)…
Next, Mark Henry attacked Big Show in a backstage segment.
Then Big Zeke beat Wade Barrett clean in a rematch for the Intercontinental Title. Afterwards, Gabriel & Slater were making fun of Wade backstage.
Gabriel & Slater come out and beat the Uso’s.
Yoshi Tatsu was beaten up in the ring by Jinder Mahal & The Great Khali. Mahal cut a promo, which I believe earned him the biggest heat of the night (surpassing even that of Cody Rhodes earlier). Much like Sin Cara, a cameraman actually had to point to where Mahal was supposed to be looking after his promo.
Christian & Kane were having a pretty good match with A LOT of near falls. At the end, Mark Henry ran out to attack Kane, causing a DQ and a very upset Christian. Teddy Long came out and said that Christian had just lost the match (implying that he would not receive another title shot), but then Teddy said that Christian had a chance to “redeem” himself in a tag match. Christian/Henry vs. Kane/Orton. If Christian’s team wins, he earns another title shot.
The tag match went on for awhile, before it ended with a Mark Henry pin on Randy Orton, allowing Christian’s team to win, and therefore give Christian one more title opportunity (presumably at Money in the Bank). The show ended with Christian standing in the ring, holding the title, on top of a fallen Randy Orton. And the crowd was really booing him.
This is where the show went off the air, because all of the cameramen & ring crew began dispersing. The commentators must have taken a back exit through the crowd, because none of them came up the ramp.
For the live crowd at the arena, Teddy Long came back out and danced. Then he told us that Christian would be receiving a title rematch NOW… in a street fight! The match didn’t last long, and it really wasn’t much of a street fight, but of course, Randy Orton won after he hit three RKO’s… one on Christian, one on an interfering Mark Henry… and one on an interfering Sheamus. (Sheamus did not appear on the televised portion of the show.) It was truly Super Orton (no
exaggeration)!
I can’t describe how over Randy Orton was, especially at the end of the night. The cheers from the crowd were absolutely deafening. He paraded around the ringside area, very slowly, for about 10 minutes, celebrating with the fans and slapping their hands.
Now comes the part that is very difficult for me to describe in words. You had to be there to see it… and believe it! It was one of the most surreal experiences that I have ever had…
When Randy Orton reached me on the entrance ramp, he began to slap hands with the people right next to me. During this time, I was doing everything I could to express my hatred of him. I gave him a double thumbs-down, and was screaming “You suck” at him endlessly. Randy could have brushed me off. He could have easily ignored me. But instead, he was highly amused and decided to “play” with me. Here is how it went down…
At first, he gave me a look as if to say “Oh, another one of these hater fans…” He smiled like John Cena would do, and I think he was expecting me to stop, and that would be it. Instead, I kept screaming at him relentlessly (understand that he was right in front of me) and he began to grow increasingly more amused. He waved his hand in a downward motion as if to signal me to tone it down. He made direct eye contact with me several times for a period of 1-2 minutes (although it felt longer). He studied me down completely, to the point where he could easily tell a police department every feature of me if he was
asked to give a description. The entire time, he was smiling/smirking and visibly amused.
I thought it was over. He went to the other side of the entrance ramp, presumably to slap hands with the people over there. But instead of doing so, he turned back around and stared at me again. I had momentarily stopped doing anything because I had thought that he was done with me, but now the surrounding fans were telling me: “Hey, there’s your chance. It’s just you and him. He’s looking at you. Do something!”
So I gave him the double thumbs-down again. At this point, he never stopped making eye contact with me. I got tired of saying “You suck” so I screamed at him “You’re garbage!” I’m not sure why the word “garbage” would have set him off, but for a brief moment, he turned his head upward, and looked like he does when he’s about to punt somebody.
I was fully expecting him to come over to me and get in my face, or perhaps just brush me off at this point. But he did neither. Instead, his response was to “taunt” me with his belt. He held it up and showed it proudly to me, all the time smiling and smirking, as if to mock me for telling him that he sucks when he is, in fact, the champion.
That was it. But I can’t believe that Randy took the time to “play” with me like that. He could have completely ignored me, but instead he had fun with me. I have never grabbed a wrestler’s attention like that for such a seemingly long period of time. There were people around me who I think would have liked that amount of attention, but it was me who stood out to Randy Orton over everyone else who was there.
I had a great time at the Smackdown taping in Hershey. But ironically, it was the person who I hate the most (Randy Orton) who made my night. I still hate the character Randy Orton, but somehow, someway, I think that Randall Keith Orton has just earned my respect.

Randy Orton as a face is weird, last time I remember him though was when he fist won the World Heavyweight Championship and Evolution turned on him. I miss Evolution actually

SmackDown Spoilers - June 24th.
- Spoiler:
- Smackdown opened with Teddy Long to address the World title controversy from Capitol Punishment. Long calls Christian to the ring. Christian says he deserves another title shot. Long tells him he has to earn it, so it's Kane vs. Christian to determine the new number one contender tonight.
*Sin Cara defeated Ted DiBiase in a good match.
*Cody Rhodes came out for his match with Daniel Bryan. Bryan came out and said that unlike what Cody thinks, looks aren't everything and showed a photo of Dusty Rhodes on the Titantron. He said Dusty may not have been the best looking guy but had charisma and was a good person, something Cody is not. DiBiase comes out when the match begins. Cody gets the win.
*Johnny Curtis vignette in catering. He stands in front of a table with ketchup, mayo and mustard. He takes the first two and leaves the mustard, because he can cut it.
*Backstage, Matt Striker interviews Big Show about being attacked by Mark Henry. Show says he's going to get Henry back when Henry spears him out of nowhere into the set. The referees help Show up and out as Henry walks off.
*WWE Intercontinental champion Ezekiel Jackson has his first title defense, defeating Wade Barrett.
*Jack Korpela interviews World champion Randy Orton. He says that Christian getting another opportunity to be the number one contender is comical but if he has to, he will defeat him again.
*Backstage, Wade Barrett comes across Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel. They mock him for losing to Jackson and say they are going to go out there and do something he can't - win.
*Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater defeated the Usos.
*Jinder Mahal vs. Yoshi Tatsu never happened as Mahal attacked Tatsu and laid him out. Mahal cut a promo saying Great Khali is done kissing fat women and they will dominate.
*Mark Henry attacked Kane to cause a DQ in Christian vs. Kane. Randy Orton came out to even things up. Teddy Long made it a tag match. Orton nailed Christian with an RKO but Henry nailed Orton with the World's Strongest Slam and pinned him, so Christian ends up with a title shot at the MITB PPV.

Was a real shame what happened to WCW. TNA is nowhere near as good. In fact, from what I've seen, it's terrible.

4 years today that the Chris Benoit tragedy happened, can't quite believe it's been that long.
I can remember doing my daily check of WWE.com in 2007, and his face popping up, with the headline that Benoit, Nancy and Daniel have all been found dead in their home. I didn't quite know what to think, as back (I was 12) then I knew that WWE was scripted but though surely they couldn't make something like this up, so I checked with my dad and when he said it was real I was devastated. Although you can't condone what he did in the last few days of his life, it's such a shame one of the greatest wrestlers of all time is never talked about anymore, and Benoit's name has been erased from all the record books, and VKM has the power to to that as he owns WCW and ECW now
That has to be my favourite wrestling photo of all time, two great friends outside the business, worked their way up together and they stood at WMXX at the top of the game.

I will always respect Benoit the wrestler, but not Benoit the man. I honestly cried my eyes out while watching RAW live that night. I stayed up specifically to watch it after finding out that he, Nancy and his son had died. I can't believe it's been 4 years though, time really does go quick.
To think I was 16 at the time and still in school with a load of twats who made fun of Eddie the day after died, thankfully I had the Tuesday off.
And when I'm around anyone who mocks wrestling or wrestlers after one has passed away, I get so pissed off and upset I just lose it (I did it while in college around the time Test was announced to have passed away). These men and women are apart of me, and when they go that part of me dies. I dread to think what'll happen to me when say HBK, Triple H, Austin, Rock, Taker etc, anyone of those guys passes away. I'll probably stay in bed for weeks watching old matches crying for hours.

I watched a programme about Benoit, and it showed how damaged his brain had become from concussions, shots to the head, painkillers etc, and how there was no chance he was mentally stable at the end of his life.

Heard that he had the brain of an 80 year old alzheimers patient on the day that he died.

Although it may seem stupid to others, we've followed these guys throughout their careers and they mean as much to us or more than people who like a certain footballer for example. Even though my mates watched wrestling like me, when Eddie died they took the piss too, because it was clear then that it meant so much more to me than it did to them. Eddie was one of a kind we will never see a superstar with that charisma in this sport again, he cried when he won the WWE championship for the first time and I cried with him, when he lost it later that year it felt like my favourite team had just got relegated, and on the day he died and for days after I was a wreck, watching RAW and Smackdown that week, seeing all my favourite wrestlers, from Big Show to Rey, all in tears.
Hopefully it will be a long time away that the wrestlers you mentioned will no longer be with us, and that they die from old age and natural causes rather than a heart attack or an overdose.

Agreed, I would rather it be a long long long time away, and with the way the business is now, I can see them lasting a while. But, when they do die, that'll be the day I die inside (already have with Eddie, Test, Savage, among others). They mean more to me than a lot of other stuff, including Tottenham and Crawley. Watching them growing up you get a special bond that can never be replaced and there is nothing like it.

What about stealing an 80 year old's brain? I think that shows he was very sick.

Like easley said, Benoit did an unforgivable thing, but he shouldn't just be wiped from the record books for it. Chris put his body on the line for 20+ years and although his actions in the days leading up to his death were disgraceful, Chris Benoit the wrestler should be remembered.

And yet the reason he did what he did, was because of entertaining the fans for all the years he did...
