J.R.'s words on current Hogan status:

Spoiler!

Jim Ross appeared on the Brad Davies show this morning in Rochester to promote SmackDown!. He talked about Piper being released from WWE and said he wasn't sure of the status of Hogan, but said he did not expect him to be at tonight's SmackDown! tapings.

Smackdown Spoilers for July 3rd:

(Report By Greg Parks)

Spoiler!

Dark Matches - Ultimo Dragon beat Chaz Wicks. A couple of mis-timed moves in this match. Dragon won with his kick-ass move (name?) - Ben Dunn & Mike Lehan beat Joe E. Legend and Sean Lamowski- I just tried to sound out the 3 jobbers names, as I didn't really hear them. I thought Legend signed with TNA? The winners were billed as being from Rochester, which gave them an instant cheap pop. Loud "boring" chants. Josh & The Cat came out. Velocity Tapings - Jamie Noble (w/Nidia) beat Spanky with the guillotine choke. Lots of "Let's go Spanky" chants. - Sean O'Haire beat Funaki with the "Prophecy" I believe it's called. "Where is Piper" chant was pretty funny. - Kanyon beat Mike Bell with the flatliner. Kanyon wins finally! - Matt Hardy beat Shannon Moore with a small package. Matt deemed this Shannon's last chance to prove his mattitude. Shannon put up a good fight and Hardy shook his hand after the match. Looks like all is well. Smackdown! Taping - The Zach/Vince angle was replayed. - Vince came on the titantron and said he'd seal Mr. America's fate tonight. - Rey Mysterio, Jr. beat Nunzio to retain the Cruiserweight Title. Kidman came out and sat in the crowd for this one, receiving a "Kidman's got a bald spot" chant from those above him. The ref made Chuck and Stamboli go to the back before the match. When they tried to interfere, the APA came down and took them out. Kidman was excited for Rey, joining him in the ring for a celebration. - Brock and Kurt Angle were backstage. They did some hijinks involving Kurt accidentally spitting milk on a stagehand. - Chris Benoit & Rhyno beat The Bashams (w/Shaniqua) with the Crossface. - Vince and Steph were backstage. Steph tried unsuccessfully get out of her handicap match with Big Show. - Steph and Sable backstage segment. - Noble and Nidia got out of a limo earlier in the day- Nidia showed off her (fake) fur coat and Noble showed off his new sunglasses. - Orlando Jordan talks to 'Taker backstage. Cena interrupts. - Billy Gunn (w/Torrie) beat John Cena in the U.S. Title Tourney. Cena's pre-match rap was hilarious, prompting the crowd's "Let's go Cena" chants during the match. Cena tried to use his chains, but 'Taker came out distracting Cena and allowing Gunn to get a small package for the win. - Angle challenged Brock to a pushup competition to see if he could do 300. - The t-shirt guy came out. He gave away shirts. Moving on... - Brock finished his pushups at 301. Angle then declined to do them, leaving a tired Brock a bit perturbed. - Benjamin and Haas "The Best Damn Tag Team Period" beat Eddy and Tajiri for the Tag Titles. They came out in the lowrider. The crowd was chanting for Eddie to cheat, so he did. Also, the ref kept admonishing him to use the tag rope, so he detached it from the ring post so it would slide around the rope so he could walk on the apron and still be attached to it. - Mr. America highlights. - Tajiri was still lying on the lowrider hood from the match. Eddie walked around the ring distraught. He then pushed Tajiri out of the way, showing his concern was for the car. He then beat up Tajiri and put him thru the windshield. Tajiri did a stretcher job. - Zach was backstage stretching while Big Show taunted him. - A-Train beat Orlando Jordan with the Derailer. -Big Show talked to Steph backstage. - WM Recall- Jake Roberts and Alice Cooper - Vince and Sable came down to announce that Vince had footage from after Smackdown! last week where America took his mask off and it was Hogan. They showed the highlights, after which Vince did the "You're Fired!" bit. They took seats ringside for the handicap match - Zach and Steph beat Big Show in a No-DQ handicap match. Angle and Lesnar both interfered to help Zach and Steph. Vince hit Angle with a chair to no avail. Zach moonsaulted onto Big Show for the pin.

Personal comment:

Spoiler!

Bye bye Hogan ... bye bye America, the reports seemed to be true then. Billy Gunn's chances at US Gold got stronger after beating Cena ... Cena vs Taker now for Vengeance? Tag Team Gold surprisingly changing hands ... if Tajiri and Eddie feud together, who will challenge Team Angle for the gold? Big Show defeated ... WHAT A SHOCK! ... Mmmmkay. Brock's and Angle's interference in that match and Angle's and Brock's push up segment backstage further point in the direction of a Three Way Title Dance at Vengeance.

Smackdown Preview July 3rd:


SmackDown! comes to you from Rochester, N.Y. and airs Thursday night at 8/7 CT on UPN!
In a highly unusual match -- unprecedented, in fact -- SmackDown! General Manager Stephanie McMahon will team with Zach Gowen to take on the Big Show! Mr. McMahon ordered this match on last week's show. If Zach and Stephanie can win, Zach will earn a WWE contract. Of course, Mr. McMahon, intent on keeping Zach out of WWE, has stacked the deck in his favor -- ordering Gowen & the GM to face the 500-pound giant.

It's the highly anticipated first match for Gowen. But will it be his last? Find out this Thursday night on SmackDown! from Rochester, N.Y.

While Stephanie McMahon has to wrestle this Thursday night, she hasn't neglected her duties as General Manager. The U.S. Title tournament that she started will continue this Thursday night, as Billy Gunn (accompanied by Torrie Wilson) takes on John Cena.

In addition, two of the most prestigious titles on SmackDown! will be defended on the show. Eddie Guerrero & Tajiri defend the WWE Tag Team Championship against former titleholders Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin. And the Cruiserweight Championship will be on the line as Nunzio challenges Rey Mysterio.

In more tag-team action, Chris Benoit & Rhyno team to face the Basham Brothers, who will be accompanied by Shaniqua.

All this and much more this Thursday night on SmackDown!, airing at 8/7 CT on UPN.

Or I could just read what BMB posted before you magically knew what happened.

Spoiler!

What a cheap way out for Terry. I'd have much rather had it shown in the ring than on the screen. It gives Hogan a chance for a last word. Or was he there? The spoiler was sorta vague. Steph and Gowen vs Big Show. I knew they were gonna win, and I knew it was gonna be by interference, and I assumed it would be Brock and/or Angle because of the whole Vengence Triple Threat match. (Which I'm hoping has some sort of stipulation.)... I wanna see Gowen performing the moon sault though. I cant imagine his fighting capabilities at this point. I was hoping the spoiler would be more detailed though. Like what happened to make Kurt spill his milk. And what kind of hijinks were going on? Was it just the push ups? Would prowrestling.com have a fuller spoiler, or do I have to wait? Ugh, I'm too new at this

[MMB]

Swany, one week the spoilers are or detailed than the other week ... I'll make sure to post the full results with pics once I have them.
