10/28 WWE Smackdown taping in San Diego, Calif.: Full results of Friday's television show with Undertaker in a casket match, Rey Mysterio vs. Kane in a dark main event cage match |
WWE Smackdown Taping
San Diego, Calif. at the San Diego Sports Arena
Report by Dot Net reader Ron Freilich.
I'm going by memory so some stuff may be out of order. The arena was about 75 percent full. The entire upper section was blocked off. I guess ticket sales didn't go too well this time around.
Dark Match
1. Kung Fu Naki defeated Zack Ryder (or Curt Hawkins). Kung Fu Naki was insanely over with the live crowd. This match was held prior to the ECW taping.
Smackdown Tapings
Vickie Guerrero announced on the Titantron that the Undertaker would face Chavo Guerrero in a Casket Match.
2. The Miz & John Morisson defeated Primo and Carlito in a non title match. Towards the end of the match the time keeper rang the bell after a two count, but they continued the match for a couple more minutes. I'm sure this will be edited out.
3. Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio defeated Mark Henry, Kane and MVP in a 6 man tag team match. While Ray was super over in his home town, his pop and general reaction to him wasn't as crazy as you'd expect it to be. The actual focus in the six-man match was on Jeff Hardy.
4. The Brian Kendrick defeated Jimmy Wang Yang. I guess something went wrong because they did Jimmy Wang Yang's ring intro twice. I think Justin Roberts screwed up the ring introduction or something.
Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov had a verbal in ring confortation.
The Great Kahli kiss cam segment featured Kahli french kissing a lady dressed as an ugly witch. Kahli is really getting over as a babyface, as there were multiple, very loud "Kahli" chants during his segment.
5. Maria and Michelle McCool and Brie Bella defeated Natalya and Maryse and Voctoria in a six-diva tag team match. All the divas were wearing their Cyber Sunday costumes (yes, Victoria wrestled in the banana outfit).
Announced for next week's show: Shelton Benjamin vs R-Truth for the US Title. I'm surprised R-Truth wasn't featured on the show, as i saw him outside the arena talking on his cell phone before it started.
6. The Undertaker defeated Chavo Guerrero in a Casket Match. Big show interfered and brawled with Taker and was also put inside the casket, not sure how much of this will make TV.
Dark Match Main Event
1. Rey Mysterio defeated Kane in a Steel Cage Match. An ok little match. Afterwards Rey celebrated with the fans at ringside.
