Either that or the wrestlezone thing is wrong and there weren't tapings last night.

[MGH]

I checked the site I usually get them live and ongoing from and they didn't even have any. Maybe today.

WWE.com had last night's show listed the way they do a TV taping, as "WWE presents SmackDown/ECW". If it's a house show, they list it as " WWE presents Smackdown & ECW Live ", or something like "WWE SmackDown/ECW present SummerSlam Tour".

These results are for June 10th & 13th

Live from Fresno, California
-Ecw-

Jimmy Wang Yang and Moore Over two Local jobbers. Match saw a quick impromptu finish as Jobber Styles was legit hurt falling from the turnbuckle. He had to be carried to the back as result.

Matt Sydal will now be known as Evan Bourne. Last week his name bar said Matt Sydal, but who am i to argue?? Im just glad he finally got called up.

Anyway.

Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne are pitted against The Gold Standard and The Bloody Brute Standard, Mike Knox. Bourne(Sydal) was able to show off some of his high flying ability in this match and really put together some nice offense. Eventually the heels got the upperhand. After some struggling and a bit of over zealousness, Bourne was able to make the hot tag to Kofi Kingston. Kofi then cleared the ring and hit his Trouble in Paradise kick on Knox for the Win. Kofi was really over in this match.

Victoria faced off with Jelly Jelly and picked up a Ref Stoppage after a spot saw Jelly Jelly collide face face first first with the ground ground and not be able to continue. Sadly enough Victoria was wearing pants, no ass hangage took place. : (

There's a backstage segment where Estrada is introduced to a new blonde in the land of extreme. Before he can show her his cuban cigar Teddy Long walks in and tells him that she is his "Personal Assitant" and things get real Hot between them. Old man balls, Old man balls-gross. Anyway, Teddy informs Estrada that he has to earn his way onto Ecw and tonight he has a chance to prove his worth by facing off with Finlay.

Finlay squashed Estrada and picked up the quick win using his Celtic Cross. Teddy strolls on out and tells Estrada he has another match, right now, with Colin Delaney.

Delaney squashes Estrada with a quick DDT.

Teddy tells a defeated Estrada to strap on his jobbing boots because he has another match, this time with Hornswaggle.

Hornwaggle quickly squashes Estrada with his tadpole splash. All Three men do a really awkward Irish Jig. Delaney apparently goes to far and Finlay Clocks him with the Shilleigh. Terrible, Terrible whole segment.

Mark Henry comes out to the ring and informs Big Slow that he wants a crack at him after he fights Kane.

Kane and CM Drunk take on The Miz and John Morrison. Pretty stiff match that saw good amounts of action. The finish came as Morrison hit the moonlite drive on Cm Drunk, while The Miz restrained Kane from entering the ring. Good clean victory for the Champs and yet another Job for Punk.

---------------------

Smackdown

The first thing filmed is MVP's VIP Lounge. His Special Guest is none other than Reyyyyyy Mysterio. Mysterio gets a ridiculous pop, considering the general populance, it makes sense as to why they brought him back early for tonight's taping. Rey looks pretty chubby and out of shape, apparently he had time to get his eyebrow pierced when he has been sidelined with injuries. MVP cuts his best Promo to date in this segment, which includes him mocking Rey in spanish and then going into the time keepers area. The Time Keepers area, MVP referred to as America and outside of the area is Mexico. He tells Mysterio that he can only dream of passing back and forth but he doesnt have the money to do so, clearly a rib at psicosis. He concludes the verbal beatdown by calling Rey a little Jumping Bean and telling him when he's ready to catch a beatdown, come find him. Then he makes his way through the crowd and leaves. Rey sticks around and says that he's going to be medically cleared soon and back in the ring sooner than we think.

Vickie is in the middle of the ring and is flooded with Boo's. The ring is set up for a contract signing and she calls out Batista to sign his side so he can lock his position for facing Edge at Night of Champions. Batista says some pretty hurtful things and Vickies had it. She puts him in a match with THE GREAT KHALI. I cant believe i get to see the big man in action, WOE IS ME. Anyway, there's a stipulation...If he loses he will join the Undertaker and be banished from the WWE. God, how i wish you'd make this happen.

John Morrison took on Finlay. Pretty stiff match, finish comes when Finlay is distracted and botches some sort of awkward ring rope exit. He was trying to save Hornswaggle who was getting tormented by the Miz. It backfired and Morrison was able to score the pinfal with a schoolboy.

Edge is backstage doing an interview, when out of nowhere CM Drunk shows up and informs Edge that he's coming for his title and it could happen anytime, anywhere. Including his Wedding day. Edge is frustrated and upset about this.

Mark Henry Quickly Squashed Tommy Dreamer

Backstage segment with MVP, Vickie, and Edge. MVP says he wants to renegotiate his contract as he feels he's the best athlete and individual on the roster. Edge scoffs and teases him with the Belt. Vickie considers the renegotiation, under one condition, He takes care of Punk later tonight and makes Edge's life a lot less stressful. MVP agrees.

In a diva championship qualifier match, Cherry went over Maryse with a ddt. Maryse is ridiculously cut in real life, she's like Morrison, only not anorexic and potentially could actually grate cheese with her abs. Cherry on the other hand is in an uphill battle with Father time, and looked absolutely awful.

Backstage segment with Sexual Chocolate, Mark Henry. He shows a picture of the Big Slow and his battered and bruised eye. He reveals another picture that has Big Slow sporting two damaged eyes and tells him that's what's gonna happen after he's done with him. Sure Mark, Sure, Hayes is almost back and you're ass is grass and he's the proverbial hitler lawnmower when he returns.

MVP Vs. Cm Drunk time. Tons of counters and reversals in this match with MVP having the upperhand. The finish came when MVP went to Clock Drunk with his Money in the Bank Briefcase but missed and got caught with it himself via a Shining Wizard in the corner. Referee sees MVP down and calls the Match. MVP picks up the win by disqualification.

OOoooooooooooooohhhh Chavo. Chavo and Bam Neely make their way out to the commentating table to oversee the next match. Chavo announces that he will be facing Matt Hardy for the United States title at Night of Champions.

Matt Hardy takes on Chuck Palumbo. Pretty boring match for the most part, but then again, what Matt Hardy match isnt boring??? Exactly. Anyway, finish came when Hardy hit the Twist of fate for the clean win. Post-Match, Chavo announces Matt Hardy as the winner of the match and soon to be Ex-United States Champion come Night of Champions. Boy, do i wish.

Backstage interview time, Vladimar Koslov face time. He talks in Russian. I'll have to call my good friend Fedor to figure out what he says, it sounded pretty harmless though, just annunciated indifferently. Pretty much a squash interview alike all of his bouts. Let this guy talk again, Double Double EEEEE. Too good.

Biscuits and Gravvvvvvvvvvvvy. Jesse and Fake Kane Vs. Deuce and Domino. Pretty much the same story as all the biscuits and gravy matches. Jesse gets overwhelmed, hot tags Festus; Festus cleans house and picks up the victory. Post-match saw tension escalate, as Deuce and Domino get into a scuffle and have appeared to have broken up after exchanging fists.


Craptista Over Great Khali as Vickie and Edgie Guerrero(more on this later) watch on from the top of the ramp. I was really hoping for a swerve but whatever. Im pretty sure last year, Batista was supposed to never face Edge again for the title or period. Obviously storylines mean nothing in Double Double EE.

Post Smackdown Dark Match was a handicap match that Craptista picked up in about a minute and a half. He defeated both The Great Khali and Edge after a redirected Spear crashed into the Great Khali. From here Craptista elevated Edge and Batista Bombed him for the quick win and the "happy" send off.

Top 3 Signs of the Night
+"Edgie Guerrero"
+"Beauty & The Batista"(Picture of Bell and Batistas face on Beast's Body)
+Some Random Guys Blown up Picture of his face. It creeped me out so much, it wasnt even funny. For that he gets honorable mention


As for the kids with the "Edgie Guerrero" sign. My friend and I couldnt stop laughing about it. On the way home we decided that WWE really needed to run with this guy's idea and make Edge take Vickies last name. What would he break kay-fabe and give her the Copeland last name? Plus last week on smackdown he already started laying seeds about building a wrestling dynasty of his own, a bunch of little Edge Guerreros. Seems to make sense to me. Best way to unvail him would be after the wedding. Edge could go backstage and introduce the newest member of the Guerrero family. All of the sudden a low rider will cruise down the ramp and a bandana covered man will be driving. Obviously the crowd will pop big for this. Off come the Bandana's and we get a new Edge, a Mustached Edge, a revigorated Edge, and a new persona. Edgie Guerrero will be born and then the inevitable Chavo face turn can take place with Edgie playing the Uncle who cares role and helps add a bunch of fresh new excitement to friday nights. If Vince will touch on Incest, there's absolutely no way this is too taboo of a direction. I know i'd be heavily interested.


This was a good show and a very good time. I dont have a voice anymore from screaming so much, and im really excited to see how the crowd comes across on camera as it was pretty dismal in person. Either way, Papa Dhumal has got to hit the sack. Night Folks.

I hate when people try and be all cute and "funny" with their results. Just give us the results and move on.

[MGH]

Here is a non-smarky cleaned up version for anyone who wants to not have their heads explode.



ECW

-Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore defeat two local talents. One of the locals were injured in the match and had to be carried to the back.

-Matt Sydal (now known as Evan Bourne) & Kofi Kingston defeat Mike Knox & Shelton Benjamin. Bourne got in some great looking high flying maneuvers and really made another good impression. Kofi got the hot tag and hit Knox with the Trouble In Paradise for the victory.

-The contract signing for Night of Champions is next. Vickie is getting flooded with boos again. Batista again trashes Vickie and Edge on the mic, so Vickie puts him against Khali in the main event. If Batista loses, he’ll join Undertaker as being barred from WWE forever.

-John Morrison defeats Finlay off a distraction by Miz. Finlay tried to come to Hornswoggle’s aid while Miz tormented him on the outside, and Morrison rolled Finlay up from behind for 3.

There's still hope, they can end up like Londrick and teaming with each other two weeks later.


Or they can end up like Cadeoch and have a match with each other two weeks from now.

I enjoy when smarks submit results. As a smark, I can appreciate the smarkiness of the smark's review of the evening's events.
