So isn't that the original nWo?

Brock Lesnar! Brock Lesnar! Brock Lesnar! Good God, I've been a fan of this guy ever since I saw him in Rolla! I am so happy to see him on TV! I don't condone him attacking a woman. But I'm just so excited! I see they're bringing him in as a heel. Well from the looks of it, it looks like a hell of a storyline will be developed around him and he will have a very intense and exciting character. They're already pushing the animal in him.

I know you guys won't believe this. But apparently, Lesnar's finishing move is the Shooting Star Press. Yes, that big monster does a Shooting Star Press!

And.....TRISH WINS! TRISH WINS! TRISH WINS!!!

SmackDown! spoiler -- 3/28


The March 28 episode of SmackDown! -- the last episode of World Wrestling Federation programming before the brand extension -- kicked off live from Philadelphia with Diamond Dallas Page (SmackDown!) taking on Booker T (RAW). A few minutes into the bout, DDP knocked Booker from the ring, and turned around to see Brock Lesnar (RAW) standing in front of him! At Paul Heyman's command, Lesnar downed DDP with a number of power moves, leaving the former WCW Champion a crumpled heap in the ring! Lesnar and Heyman celebrated after the demolition.
Kurt Angle (SmackDown!) headed to the ring to a chorus of "You suck!," and your Olympic hero didn't seem to be in a good mood. Kurt said that considering he had risked his life wrestling in the Olympics with a broken neck, the least the crowd could do was show him a little appreciation. He then told the crowd, "You know what? You suck too!"

He said the fans were almost as pathetic as what happened on RAW, when Stephanie McMahon was forced out of the Federation by her soon-to-be ex-husband, Triple H. The crowd cheered for the statement, as Kurt told them to have a little compassion. Angle said that Stephanie was like a blossoming flower who brought joy and happiness to millions of people every day. He said he wouldn't let her leaving go unrecognized, so he wanted to take a moment of silence so they could remember all the wonderful memories Stephanie had provided them.

Kurt had them turn down the lights in the arena, and put a picture of Stephanie on the TitanTron. He asked for the moment of silence to begin, but instead of being silent, the crowd booed mercilessly! Kurt called the people heartless, and told Stephanie that if she was watching, she shouldn't listen to the people! Angle said the fans should show Stephanie respect, or he would beat the respect out of them! Kurt then headed to the outside of the ring towards the fans -- until suddenly, out came Vince McMahon (SmackDown!).

Mr. McMahon strutted to the ring and said that when you desecrated his daughter's name, you were desecrating his name. He said his name was worth more than all the fans' name combined. Mr. McMahon said the whole fiasco wouldn't have happened if not for Triple H. Vince said The Game had drugged and married Stephanie, only to publicly embarrass her and beat her up. Mr. McMahon called Triple H a real son of a bitch. Vince admitted that Stephanie wasn't always a perfect daughter, but she was as close to perfect as daughters came. He said that he blamed Triple H for every rotten act Stephanie had ever committed. Vince said he was happy The Game was Federation Champion, because now, he would be on both RAW and SmackDown! -- and he planned on making The Game's life a living hell on SmackDown!

Suddenly, out came the Undisputed Champion, Triple H, to a huge ovation! The Game questioned Vince saying that he was a bad influence and selfish and a son of a bitch. Triple H said that Vince ain't seen nothing yet! The Game said that if Vince screwed with him, he would make Vince's life a living hell. Triple H said that since Vince missed Stephanie so much, The Game suggested that Kurt was right, and they should honor her. Triple H said they would honor Stephanie's last few moments in the Federation, and he then showed the footage from Monday's RAW, of him pinning her and sending her packing!

Kurt was irate at seeing the footage, and told Vince he wanted a match with Triple H tonight on SmackDown! He begged Vince for a match, and Vince said he would be happy to under normal circumstances, but he wanted a piece of The Game as well! Triple H said he would be happy to take on either man! Vince said it would be The Game against Angle and Mr. McMahon in a Handicap Match on SmackDown!

The sounds of "Woo!" filled the arena, and Ric Flair (RAW) came out to the stage and stood side-by-side with Triple H. Flair asked if he'd heard Vince making the rules again. Flair said he was still 50-percent owner whether Vince liked it or not. He said it wouldn't be a Handicap Match -- Triple H would have a partner, and it would be Ric Flair, appearing on his last episode of SmackDown! The Nature Boy asked The Game to take care of Angle so Flair could have Vince all to himself!

Backstage, Bubba Ray Dudley (RAW) and D-Von Dudley (SmackDown!) talkedabout how their future as a team came down to their Tag Team Championship match against Billy & Chuck on SmackDown! D-Von said that if they won the titles, they would stay together as a team, but if they lost, they would go their own separate ways. Bubba said it was a hell of a run, but if the run had to end, best it should happen in Philadelphia -- the city that the Dudley Boyz were born in. Bubba said no one could ever take their legacy away from them. He suggested that they go out there and take Billy & Chuck to the extreme!

That match was up next, as Billy & Chuck (SmackDown!) defended the Tag Championship against the Dudleys. The champs were accompanied to ringside by their stylist, Rico. The Dudleys had an extra spring in their step, desperate to remain a team. Rico interfered in the bout on several occasions, and when the Dudleys seemed to have the match won with the Dudley Device, Rico distracted the referee. D-Von chased Rico up the ramp, and Billy hit the Fame-asser on Bubba Ray for the pinfall and the victory, ending the Dudleys' run as a team!

After the bout, Billy choked Bubba, until D-Von ran back down. The teams duked it out, and the Dudleys gave Chuck the 3-D. Then, the brothers gave Billy the "Wassup!" headbutt! Bubba then told his brother to get the table! The brothers gave Billy a 3-D through the table -- one last broken table for old time's sake! The Dudleys stared each other down afterwards, giving each other a farewell hug.

Faarooq (SmackDown!) and Bradshaw (RAW) of the APA were playing cards, and Faarooq said it didn't seem the same playing cards, now that they would be separated. The men said they would always be like brothers. Bradshaw said they came in drinking beer, and they only had one night left, so they would go out drinking beer. As they talked, they saw Tajiri and Torrie Wilson, and called them over. Bradshaw said they were throwing a big party tonight, with beer for everyone! He sent Tajiri to get the other superstars, but told Torrie to stay so they could play strip poker! Torrie said she'd like to play, and an excited Bradshaw gave her some cards!

[MMB]

Lilian Garcia interviewed Matt Hardy and Lita, and congratulated both on ending up on RAW. Lita said it felt great to be Ric Flair's 10th draft pick, and it felt even better to know she was on the same side as Matt and Jeff. Matt said that last week was hard on him, and he was thrilled that Team Xtreme was together again on RAW. Suddenly, Chris Jericho walked over, and seemed sickened by Matt and Lita's romantic ways. Y2J said this was all about him, and that he was livid about being on SmackDown! -- he said he should be the Undisputed Champion and should be on both shows! Jericho said he was larger than life, and until he had the Undisputed Championship back around his waist, he would never be happy again. Matt said he could understand why Jericho was unhappy, since nobody wanted to be a has-been! As Matt and Lita walked away, Jericho attacked the two, and screamed that he was not a has-been!

Hollywood Hulk Hogan (SmackDown!) was getting ready in his dressing room when he was approached by The Rock (SmackDown!). Rock said this would be their last time to take on the nWo, since Hall, Nash and X-Pac were on RAW. Hogan said that their partner for tonight -- Kane (RAW) -- was bigger and badder than any dude he'd ever been in the ring with. He asked Rock if they could trust Kane. Rock mocked other big men, including King Kong Bundy and Kamala. Rock said Kane was an ass-kicking machine. Then, Kane came into the locker room as well.

Kane asked if Rock was ready, and when Rock went to answer, Kane said, "It doesn't matter if you're ready!" Kane spoke in traditional Hulk Hogan mode, culminating in, "Whatcha gonna do when Hulk Hogan, The Rock and the Big Red Machine run wild on you?" Kane then did some of Hogan's traditional posing as Rock and Hogan looked at him as if he were crazy.
That match was up next, as Hogan, Rock and Kane took on Hall, Nash and X-Pac of the nWo. Within minutes, Hogan had hit the big boot and legdrop on Hall, but Nash came in to save his partner. Before long, the match was out of control, with all six men going at it. In the ring, X-Pac went for the Bronco Buster on Kane, but the Big Red Machine caught X-Pac coming in, and chokeslammed him. Kane then pinned X-Pac for the win!

In a match stemming from their earlier altercation, Chris Jericho took on Matt Hardy, who was accompanied to ringside by Lita. As Y2J went to work on Matt, Lita went up top and nailed Jericho with the Litacanrana! Jeff followed up with a front slam on Y2J for two. Moments later, Y2J went for the Walls of Jericho, and Lita got up on the apron. In trying to escape the hold, Matt kicked Jericho right into Lita, knocking her from the apron. Matt went for the Twist of Fate on Jericho, but Y2J hit a low blow, and then put Matt in the Walls of Jericho. Matt soon tapped out, giving the win to the former Undisputed Champion. After the bout, Y2J locked Lita in the Walls of Jericho on the outside of the ring!

In the APA's office, the duo was playing cards with a number of superstars, including Godfather, Val Venis, Christian, Hurricane and Torrie. The superstars were talking about their favorite memories from years past. Tajiri won the hand of poker, and Torrie lost, so she took off a necklace. Christian was mad at being one card away from a royal flush, and threw a temper tantrum! Faarooq just said, "Damn!," as Bradshaw stared at Torrie's necklace and said he thought she would have taken off her panties or something!

The Intercontinental Championship was on the line as Rob Van Dam (RAW) defended against Test (SmackDown!). Test broke the rules a number of times, and got into it with referee Earl Hebner on several occasions. Ultimately, Test went for a powerbomb, but RVD climbed over Test into a sunset flip, and pinned him for a successful title defense!

Backstage, Coach interviewed Raven (RAW), asking about his Hardcore Title match with Maven, and about being picked for the RAW team. Raven said that which show he competed on was less important than what he wrestled for. He said the Hardcore Title was his first objective. Raven said that Maven's success would also cause the rookie's downfall, and that Maven would feel the "Raven Effect."

Up next, Maven defended the Hardcore Championship against Raven. The bout was filled with garbage cans and other foreign objects. During the bout, Tommy Dreamer ran in to attack the men, but he was soon knocked from the ring. Before long, Raven hit Maven with the Raven Effect, and pinned him to become the new Hardcore Champion, bringing the title to RAW!

Watching on from his locker room, Mr. McMahon complained to Kurt Angle about having drafted a rookie. Vince said his pick of Maven was now a wasted pick, since they had lost the Hardcore Title. Vince said he would definitely land Austin for SmackDown! Angle said he had it on good word that Stone Cold would be on RAW on Monday to make his decision! Vince said that if Austin was going to be on RAW, then so too was he. Angle said it was now time to focus on their match on SmackDown!, and Angle said was an honor to team with Vince, even though McMahon had picked him second in the draft!

Back at the APA's poker game, Hurricane chugged a beer, and then passed out. Regal approached the group, and the European Champion reminded them that he had predicted last week that the APA was now out of business, and it had come to pass. Bradshaw said they were out of business, and they were now also out of beer, so the party was over. The tough Texan then beat the hell out of Regal, and he and Faarooq said it had been a good run. The duo exited their office for the last time, and turned the "Open" sign around to say, "Sorry -- we're closed.

The two then shook hands and parted ways.
The main event on SmackDown! was a tag match pitting Mr. McMahon and Kurt Angle against Triple H and Ric Flair. The men all took turns chopping away at one another in the final SmackDown! match before the brand extension. After a few minutes of action, Vince locked Flair in Flair's own figure-four leglock! Flair finally reversed the hold, before Angle broke it up. The action was out of control as Triple H went for the Pedigree on Angle, only to have McMahon hit The Game with the Federation Championship while the ref was distracted! Still, Angle only earned a two-count.

With Triple H down, Mr. McMahon tagged in and nailed The Game. McMahon mocked the Nature Boy, and turned around only to have Triple H knock him down. The Game tagged in Flair, who hit McMahon with a top-rope axhandle. Flair chopped away at Vince, and moments later, he was about to lock Vince in the figure four when Undertaker ran down to the ring and creamed Flair with a huge boot to the face! Taker then put Vince on top of Flair, and the SmackDown! owner pinned the RAW owner to win the bout for his team! Vince smiled at Taker and hugged Angle as SmackDown! went off the air!

Brock Lesnar vs. Matt Hardy
Brock and Matt come out, Matt still got a pretty decent pop besides working as a transitional heel. Brock got pretty good heat. It's obvious to me that the fans almost want to cheer Lesnar, but keeping Heyman around keeps the heat on him. When your top babyfaces in the company are Undertaker, Edge, and Kane (not counting Rock), and your top heels are Triple H, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, etc. and so on, it's obvious to me they're lacking faces, not heels. Anyways, pretty boring match with Lesnar getting the nod with the F-5.
Winner by Pin: Brock Lesnar

Interesting Smackdown

-*Theresa*-

[MMB]

DAYUM ... thanks for that spoiler Theresa

That was great, about 5 times more than what you get on the official site

You have to post the spoiler like this every week, great




The Elimination Matches seemed good

But does this mean now that Undertaker is now on Smackdown? Or was this just a one time happening? I read about he contract yes ... but damn ... what will Eric's decision be now ... (Edge and Angle going to Raw damnit )

And Taker is now #1 contender? Didn't HHH defeat Taker last Monday on RAW to become the #1 contender?


Hmmm ... maybe a #1 contender match between HHH and Taker is up next ...

Or who knows ... maybe a Triple Threat Match for the title between Brock, HHH and Taker


Three big man, that would be great

Thanks again for the spoiler

[MMB]

Rey Mysterio pinned Billy
After defeating Rico the previous week, Mysterio opened up the show by taking his chances against Rico's associate Billy. The 10-time former Tag Team Champion wasted no time, jumping Mysterio before the opening bell. He viciously choked the cruiserweight in the corner until referee Brian Hebner broke it up. Yet, the punishment continued, as Billy continued to pour it on for the first two minutes of the match, until Rey escaped a suplex and dropkicked Billy in the knees. But Billy took control again with a commanding clothesline. A neckbreaker sent Mysterio reeling, but he fought back from his knees, landing punches to Billy's midsection before scoring with a flying headscissors and a springboard dropkick. Rey's 619 maneuver was blocked from the outside by Billy's partner, Chuck, which allowed Billy to take over once again. He pounded Mysterio in the corner, but got a little too cocky, as the Masked One reversed a Billy backdrop into a roll-up for the pin at 5:05.

Following the match, Rico entered the ring to console Billy. He announced that next week would be the single greatest moment of Billy's life, and then invited Chuck into the ring. "Chuck has something he wants to ask you," said Rico. Chuck then reached into his trunks and pulled out a ring, whereupon he shocked the Green Bay crowd by getting down on one knee and asking Billy to be his "partner for life!" Billy responded in the affirmative, leading to a group hug.

Jamie Noble (with Nidia) pinned Shannon Moore to retain the Cruiserweight Championship

Thanks to his recent pinning of Noble in a tag team match, Moore earned his shot at the Cruiserweight Title. Noble looked in no mood to drop his coveted gold, exchanging right hands with Moore from the start. Moore hit a perfect spin kick, then covered Noble early for two. The champ then found himself dropkicked right out of the ring, where Moore pounced on him and hurled him back between the ropes. Another two-count, and Noble started coming back with a clothesline and side suplex, followed by a two-count of his own. Working on his opponent's back, Noble rammed Moore into the corner and executed a backbreaker and modified surfboard. But Moore refused to submit and escaped the hold. That didn't stop Noble, who went right back to work on the back. But a heel-kick finally put Noble on his own back. The momentum turned in Moore's favor, and he came within an eyelash of pinning the champ. A top rope maneuver came closer than ever to putting Noble away. Noble finally made his comeback by landing a desperation powerbomb followed by a tigerbomb to put his challenger down for the three-count at 6:01.

Backstage, Paul Heyman was preparing WWE World Champion Brock Lesnar for his upcoming match with Randy Orton, when Orton himself butted in and got in Brock's face. Since they entered the business together back in Ohio Valley Wrestling, Orton claimed to know how to deal with Lesnar in the ring.

Also in the backstage area, Edge, Rey Mysterio and Rikishi were enjoying a game of dominoes. Edge asked Rikishi if he was ready for their upcoming six-man tag team match teaming with Undertaker against Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit.

WWE World Champion Brock Lesnar pinned Randy Orton in a non-title match

The third-generation World Wrestling Entertainment Superstar charged Lesnar to begin, but the champ just absorbed the blows. He proceeded to toss Orton around the ring like a rag doll. With ease, he tossed Orton over the corner ringpost and on to the floor. Showing no respect to the son of Cowboy Bob Orton, Brock hurled him back in the ring to continue the beatdown. Orton miraculously kicked out of a pin following a clothesline that almost beheaded him. Whipping him from corner to corner, Lesnar drove his shoulder into Orton's gut. Unable to get out of the corner, Orton took more and more punishment from the titleholder. Hoisting him on his shoulder, Lesnar repeatedly drove Orton's back into the turnbuckles. Orton tried to fight back, but a clubbing blow to the back of the head put Orton down on his face. With desperation, Orton lashed out at Brock with dropkicks, and launched himself on to the champ from the top, but Lesnar simply caught him. One dominating F5 later, and Randy Orton was pinned by the rampaging Brock Lesnar at 5:27.

Meanwhile, Mark Henry congratulated Chuck and Billy on their engagement backstage.

In Stephanie McMahon's office, the SmackDown! GM met with her newest acquisition, Crash, and wished him good luck in his upcoming match with The Hurricane. After Crash left, Reverend D-Von barged into the office to express his disapproval of Chuck & Billy's engagement. Stephanie lashed out at D-Von for his closed-minded ways and insisted that he watch the wedding, which would be taking place in the ring next week. She also booked an impromptu match for D-Von against his former associate Batista.

Mark Henry pinned Tajiri

A unique contrast of styles unfolded as the World's Strongest Man clashed with the Japanese Buzzsaw. Tajiri tried to go for Henry's left leg, but was met with a series of knee lifts. Henry then tossed Tajiri into the ropes, and came crashing down on him from behind. Tajiri attempted a flying elbow and a series of chops, to no effect. Henry responded with a shot to the back of Tajiri's head. Tajiri finally succeeded in connecting with Henry's legs using some vicious kicks, putting Henry on the mat. But Henry blocked Tajiri's next kick, and even the tarantula did nothing. Henry came back strong, scoring a powerslam to put Tajiri away at 3:24.

What followed was a face-to-face sit-down meeting between Brock Lesnar and the No. 1 SmackDown! contender, the Undertaker. Stephanie McMahon was the moderator as the two Superstars sat across from each other. The two are slated to meet in the ring on Sept. 22 at Unforgiven. Brock got the first words in, touting his impressive amateur career, as well as his incredibly short run to the WWE World Championship. But Taker seemed unfazed. In fact, he almost laughed at Brock, accusing him of overconfidence and inexperience. He declared that he would test Brock for the first time at Unforgiven. Heyman proceeded to ridicule Taker, pointing out that he might be a little distracted by his wife Sara, who is expecting. Heyman goaded the Undertaker on the subject until the Badass could take no more and put Heyman on his ass. It seemed like Taker and Brock would go at it right then and there, but Heyman held his client back.
