I guess we've all been slack since the last thread was pruned.

from 1wrestling.com

In response to the many emails I have gotten on the subject, the plan right now is for Mr. America to turn out to be Hulk Hogan in disguise (which of course will be very obvious to the fans as soon as they see him). That will be how they can bring the "suspended" Hogan back into the storylines.

Hmmm.. seems kinda stupid to me, but oh well.. it does make some sense.. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Age-a-licious

All righty then. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

Well, it looks like Linda McMahon will be making her return to WWE TV.

Tonight [April 28] she is suppose to become the new General Manager.

In her first duty as General Manager, she will be bringing back Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Steve in turn will be bringing back, good ol' JR.

It should prove to make for some interesting WWE TV.

[img]smilies/wave.gif[/img] Howdy Carrie .. yeah the last thread purged.

[img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] But hey fresh new start. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'm afraid I'm on the clueless side when it comes to wrestling.

What does WWE stand for? And is WWF still around? Some kind soul clue me in. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Carrie99

[img]smilies/wave.gif[/img] Hey there! I'd be glad to fill ya in.

WWF (World Wrestling Federation) is now known as WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). They changed their name last year due to them violating an agreement with the World Wildlife Fund on the use of the initials WWF.

If you'd like anything more in depth I and others will do our best to answer. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Here's Smackdown spoilers (airing May 1)

from 1wrestling.com

Thanks to IVAN ROTHSTEIN for these results and Anthony for sending them:

WWE SMACKDOWN SPOILERS
FROM THE VERIZON WIRELESS ARENA
MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE

DARK MATCH:

- La Resistance (Grenier/Dupree) def Chad Austin & Aaron Steves 4:57

VELOCITY:

- Rikishi def Arch Kinkade 2:01
- Crash Holly def Jaime Noble 4:32
- Tajiri def Jason Picaro 4:26
- A Train def Bill Demott 6:16

SMACKDOWN

- Los Guerreros def Shannon Moore & Matt Hardy 5:48
(afterwards, Team Angle tried to get their belts back unsucessfully).

- In the back, Stephanie is interviewed by Josh Matthews about Mr. America. She says that she has never met Mr. America, but will meet him for the first time tonight. She is then interrupted by Team Angle. Team Angle insists that they get their tag title belts back. Stephanie says that they will get the belts back tonight on Smackdown.

But since Team Angle also likes to "Lie, Cheat, and Steal", Los Guerreros will get a rematch for the tag titles at Judgment Day PPV. However, the belts will be suspended above the ring, as the tag title match will be a Ladder Match.

- After a commercial, they show Stephanie leaving Mr America's locker room with a "worried look" on her face.

- Big Show def Funaki 3:15 (DDT by Funaki)

- John Cena enters the ring wearing a NY Mets jersey. Says he was screwed at the PPV, and belittles the crowd with many Red Sox / Mets / Bill Buckner remarks.

Out of nowhere, Brian Kendrick comes out in Hip Hop Gear wearing a Clock around his neck. (Ala Flavor Flav from Public Enemy). Kendrick gets on the mic, and calls himself "Spanky" (his original gimmick name). He then proceeds to rap which is something to see. People said his rap was "vintage 80's" in style. After the rap, Cena attacks Kendrick.

- FBI is shown giving a pep talk to Johnny Stamboli, about his match with Benoit. During this, a fan asks the FBI to sign a WWE Yearbook, which they refuse.

- Johnny Stamboli starts off against Chris Benoit. Due to numerous interferences by Chuck Polumbo and Rhyno, they announce that it is now a tag team match.

Johnny Stamboli & Chuck Polumbo def Rhino & Chris Benoit due to interference by Nunzio.

- Stephanie is shown in the parking lot speaking to Vince. While on the cell phone, she is approached by Brock. Stephanie tells him that he had the night off. But Brock asks to go to the ring as he needs to confront someone.

Brock opens up by complimenting Cena from Sunday. He then challenges Big Show, saying that he had no heart after what he did to Rey at the PPV. Big Show comes out and they have a verbal confrontation. Brock challenges Big Show to a match so he could kick his fat ass. Big Show accepts, but says the infamous "Not Tonight". It was not announced, but this will probably be signed for Judgement Day.

Non-Title - Team Angle def Aaron Steves & John Walters 1:48. After the match Team Angle demand Los Guerreros to come out with their belts. As Los Guerreros come out, they steal Kurt Angle's medals off the picture without Team Angle seeing it.

Los Guerreros get on the mic and apologize for taking their titles, saying that they will not taking anything else that belongs to Hass & Benjamin.

Los Guerreros then tell Team Angle that they were Olympic Champions as well. They take out Kurt Angle's medals, which make Team Angle go nuts. Los Guerreros walk off to the back.

Sable/Torrie segment. Torrie is supposed to tag with Sable but doesn't want to. Sable basically says that if she doesn't tag with her tonight, she will regret it.

Nidia & Dawn Marie def Sable & Torrie Wilson 4:59. During the match Sable refuses all of Torrie's tags. Towards the end of the match, Sable walks off which causes Torrie to lose the match.

A funny segment that I dont believe will air. They show Stephanie on her cell phone talking to Vince. She says that after the show, she would like to go back to the hotel with her father, get some food, and talk.

As she is supposed to be on the phone with Vince, Vince walks out of a car and up to Stephanie. He is not on a phone! A faux pa' by WWE I believe, and the segment will probably be reshot.

MAIN EVENT- MR AMERICA & PIPERS PIT:

Piper and O'Haire will start off with their segment by responding to Jericho's comments from Raw. Ultimately during the segment, they will call out "Mr. America".

"Mr. America" will come out to Real American, wear Red White and Blue, and a mask. Piper will confront "Mr. America", accusing him of being Hogan.

"Mr. America" will have a speaking part during the angle. And yes, he will speak in his own voice.

Vince McMahon will get involved in the angle, and bring up how he ordered Hogan to stay home. He will then "fire" Hogan for breach of contract. Hogan will claim that "Mr. America" has signed an iron clad contract with Stephanie. (Funny, the contract actually does have "Mr. America"'s name on it).
He then hits Piper and McMahon. O'haire attempts to beat down "Mr. America" but to no avail.

END OF SHOW.

Please note: I don't know if this will air on TV, but right at the end of the segment, Mr. America does rip his mask off to reveal that it's Hulk Hogan.

This will also probably set up heat between Vince & Stephanie.

~~~~~~~~

Who in the hell would sign someone without meeting them? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] That ladder match could be very, very good. Though unless I missed it, it didn't say whether Team Angle actually got their belts back. Steph just said that later on they would.

::Jen

Huh. I have no reason whatsoever to even consider watching SD this week. Usually there's atleast one reason that would interest me, but there's nothing there this time.

I can't believe they actually went through with Hogan being Mr. America. But I hope for the sake of my sanity, they don't continue this whole "who is he?" bit when it is completely and utterly ridiculous.

Is it just me or does it seem like Matt is being punished? He hasn't had a promo on Smackdown in some time, the last one I remember seeing ended up on Velocity. And wasn't he set to defend his belt at Backlash, what happened there? It just seems odd esp. considering how hard they were pushing his character the weeks before Backlash and then it all comes to a screeching halt when you-know-who leaves.

Maybe I'm just grasping for straws, who knows.. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

SMACKDOWN SPOILERS

Thanks to Ivan Rothstein and Bob Mulrenin for the results so far.

And thanks to Anthony DeBlasi for writing them up and sending them.

DARK MATCHES:

- LOD def CM Punk & Doug Delicious 4:14

VELOCITY SPOILERS:

- Rhyno def Bill Demott 4:46
- A-Train def Kanyon 5:11
- Chavo Guerrero & JR Ryder went to a no-contest in 74 seconds....
The match ended when Chavo held onto his arm and couldn't continue. Apparently, either one of two things happened. Either he legitimately injured his arm, or something may happen on Smackdown tonight to Los Guerreros in an angle where Chavo's arm is injured. We'll have to wait and see.

Thanks to IVAN ROTHSTEIN for results

WWE SMACKDOWN SPOILERS
BALTIMORE MARYLAND - 5/13

He says that he has an open challenge for someone to face Mr. America at the PPV, and tear the mask off. During the segment, the FBI come out to offer themselves to face Mr. America.

As Roddy Piper offers himself to face Mr. America Sunday, Sean O'Haire grabs the kid and the flag. They throw the kid in the ring, and try to attack the kid. Piper then pulls the fan's leg, and it pops off! Guess who! The fan is Tenacious Z. Piper is shown in shock with the leg in his hand.

- A funny segment involving Eddie Guerrero and the picture of Kurt Angle with a Sombrero drawn above his head. Eddie mentions that Chavo is injured and he's all alone for the match Sunday. (If you read my Velocity spoilers earlier, it appears that Chavo injured his arm. It appears it could be serious enough to have him out for a while.)

- They show O'Haire and Piper in the back. O'Haire is telling Piper that they might be facing a lawsuit for what they did. Piper is just shown thinking.

- Shelton Benjamin def Eddie Guerrero in 5:02. After the match, Team Angle try to attack Guerrero with a ladder but it backfires as Eddie gets the upper hand (or should I say leg).

- Backstage segment involving Vince and Piper. Vince says that since Piper has no remorse for what he did to the "fan" and his "leg", he will face Mr. America at the PPV. He says that the Piper with no heart is who he wants and is the person that could stop Mr. America.

- We then see a segment involving Torrie Wilson and Sable. They are hyping up their bikini contest at the PPV. Sable reveals herself only in a thong and bikini.

- The end of the show is not a match, but an interview with Rey Mysterio. He says that he will be back in a few weeks, and wants to go for the cruiserweight title. During the interview, the Big Show attacks Rey once again. Big Show carries Rey to the ring, and reveals a stretcher. Apparently, Big Show was going to try and put Rey on the stretcher and attack him once again. Brock's music hits, he comes out, and attacks the Big Show. END OF SHOW.

After Smackdown went off the air, Big Show is shown standing in the ring with an angry look on his face. That's it.


Also from 1wrestling

Chavo Guerrero suffered what we have been told was a torn biceps injury in his Velocity match with JR Ryder last night in Baltimore. From what we have heard, he will need surgery and will not be able to team with his uncle Eddie vs. Team Angle at the PPV this weekend. At this point, we don't know what WWE will do going forward with the match but it's expected that Eddie will be given another partner as the bout itself is still scheduled to take place.

thanks for posting.


Sucks to hear about Chavo, just when he was in the middle of push..sorta. [img]smilies/look.gif[/img]

Elektra

Hmmm... one-legged fan? Would that be the much talked about Tenacious Z? I was wondering when he'd show up [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

::Jen

Thanks for posting, Carrie!

Tonight's show still sounds a little 'ehh' to me..hopefully it'll surprise me.

Scotty Po - #20

When WCW existed I watched faithfully every Monday and Wednesday night (I believe those were the nights). I only watched for a select few. And one of them was Goldberg. When he went off I totally quit watching. He was what made WCW for me.

Now that he has returned to WWE I watch Monday nights now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I am really glad he is back. Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner are also reasons I watch WWE now.

So thanks for the info Carrie I appreciate it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

This thread was about to fall off board. Bumping it back.

I haven't watched anything since Nash and company came to the WWE. I figured if I wanted to watch WCW wrestlers, I would have watched WCW when it was on. So the WCW coming in totally ruined it all for me. In my opinion, there are just TOO many wrestlers for one Federation.

I think the last thing I saw was Hunter finding out that Stephanie wasn't pregnant. Can anyone fill me in on what has happened to HHH? and has Stephanie ever returned to her sweet self and not the biotch she has become? I like the sweet Steph better.
