I just found these on www.pwtorch.com. I have no idea if they are accurate, but here's the copy-and-paste.
Just got home from the okay BUT could have been better Smackdown! taping in Portland, OR. The arena was pretty full with seats tarped off at the top and as usual slightly on the camera side of the arena. Like I said, it was a pretty good show but it could have been better......maybe it was the dumb idiots that were sitting in front of me with there overly large signs. Floor seats usually rock but in this case they sucked. Anyway....onto the tapings!!!! ***Pretty sure Velocity is in pretty much the right order but as for SD! somethings may be mixed up and missing a couple things*** Sorry guys.
VELOCITY
(1) Sylvan defeated Scotty 2 Hotty in a match that got no reception what so ever.
(2) Nunzio w/ Vito defeated Some Jobber that was announced as being from Portland. Nothing special here. Vito actually had to cheat for Nunzio to go over on the jobber...what's up with that?
(3) In Tag Team Action, two guys in scottish attire (that reminded me of The Bush Whackers) beat two guys in purple tights. (Sorry I didn't catch any names) The Scottish dudes got a decent ovation for no one knowing who they were.
(4) Super Crazy pinned Kid Kash in an awesome match! Why doesn't Vince put this on Smackdown...and where's Psicosis?
SMAKDOWN
Tazz and Cole come down and it's time for SMACKDOWN!
Same old, same old entrance video and pyro. Show kicked off immediately with "King" Booker (in complete KOTR attire) coming to the ring with "Queen" Sharmell along with Regal. Booker's throne and all that crap were set up ahead of time in the ring. Regal introduced Booker-T as "King of SD!
" (Sorry...but no) Booker-T talked about last week and how he said he was gonna rule SD! with an iron fist..blah blah blah. Nothing really special here...he got interrupted by WWE US Champ, Bobby Lashley! Lashley told Booker he may be King of the Ring but he's Champion of The United States. Lashley did some more blabbing and challenged Booker-T to a match. Booker-T acted all big and bad like he was gonna accept but he dropped it in Regal's lap and Booker accepted a match for Regal, who had a very besmirched look on his face. (lol I had to say besmirched)
A stupid ass promo for guess what...that's right...SEE NO EVIL...geez...let this die already.
In the back, Kristal interviews Pirate Burchill (Good God...) Crap, crap, crap, crap but Kristal cut him off when she saw Paul Heyman entering the building. She tried to get a word with Heyman about his business at SD! and he simply responded by saying "ECW!" ECW chant breaks out and yes...I marked out!!!
World Title Match: Rey Mysterio vs. Mystery Opponent in tonight's main event is hyped on the screen. May be a little after or before this...I really can't remember when it was shown.
(1) Finlay beat some jobber (shouldn't this crap be on Velocity?) afterwards, Finlay called for his little magical midget friend under the ring. Midget gets in and bites the jobber in the forehead and then starts punching away on him. Finlay pulls him off and throws him under the ring and leaves...geez... where is this crap going?
Teddy Long is shown in his office on his cell phone talking about how losing Kurt Angle to ECW was a huge loss to SD! Teddy said "But I can't wait until you get back here and do your thing playa." Who was he talking to...BATISTA maybe? Long gets off the phone when Heyman knocks and comes into his office. Paul says he has special business in the ring that he wants to take care of and after Long threatened to throw him out of the arena, Heyman said he was there with permission from Mr. McMahon himself. Heyman leaves and Teddy Long looked pissed.
(2) WWE Cruiserweight Title Match: Gregory Helms retained over... Matt Hardy... That's right...I know it's sad....yes, I said Matt Hardy. Why Vince, why?? Helms got a school boy and used the tights to win. Good match though. Wish it would have been longer.
WWE 24/7 video...I guess...
William Regal is shown coming to the ring with King Booker and Queen Sharmell. Then Lashley is shown with the gold around his waist coming to the ring.
(3) Bobby Lashley defeated William Regal, DQ-mid match, Sharmell gets nailed by Regal on accident off the apron and Booker T (way way way over acting) carries out his "Queen." Lashley is dominating Regal but through the crowd it's none other than....MIIIISSSSTTTTTEEEEERRRRRRR KKKEEENNNNNNNEEEDDDYYYY...Kennedy! Kennedy beats down the champ with the belt and then the mic comes down from the ceiling and the lights go down and Kennedy does his usual mic work! Greatness...first time seeing Kennedy! Kennedy raised the US Title up before leaving to some heat.
I think this is when they showed the Raw Re-Bound...
Paul Heyman came down to a good ovation and talked about the upcoming One Night Stand PPV and the special on USA with ECW going head to head with WWE. Heyman said he wanted to make it known that Angle had a score to settle with a certain SD! superstar on the USA special but said he also wanted to see a preview of One Night Stand.
Heyman announced that at The WWE vs. ECW special, Mark Henry will team up with WWE Champion John Cena to take on his recently acquired WWE superstars, Kurt Angle and RVD in an ECW rules tag team match! But before he could say anymore, Steven Richards came down. Steven hugged Heyman and talked about his time in ECW blah blah blah but then Steven's demeanor changed and he turned against Heyman and said he should have been Heyman's SD! Draft Pick, Steven said he almost broke his damn neck for ECW and Kurt Angle never did anything for ECW accept walk out! Steven then pushed Heyman down and began to beat him down but then Kurt Angle sporting ECW shirt comes down and beats the hell out of Steven Richards!
Angle even goes under the ring and pulls out a bat wrapped with barbwire and he bashes it over Steven's head. Angle then Angle Slammed Richards onto the bat and left him a bloody mess. Angle helps up Heyman and ECW's music plays but Henry is storming to the ring. Mark Henry gets in and tries to sneak attack Angle but Angle saw it coming. The two brawl, Henry gets clotheslined out of the ring. (Nothing else came of this, it kind of ended out of no where)
One Night Stand/ECW vs. WWE Head To Head promo...
(4) Tatanka over one of the Gymini dudes (who was without his oversized twin and Simon Dean) Tatanka got a nice reception. Surprisingly a good match.
Long is shown in the back watching the show but then some guy with a headset busts in on him and says JBL is trying to enter the arena. Long quickly rushed out of his office and down a hall way and to the back part of the arena where he tells security to keep JBL out of the arena. JBL could be heard arguing with security but no actual sight of him on screen.
Jillian came out to some dance music and tossed some t-shirts into the crowd while wearing a nice nice two piece bikini! Not sure if it will air on TV or not.
PIPER'S PIT: Ring was set up, Rowdy comes down but for some reason without music. He does some talking about The Undertaker and how he'd never seen anyone demolish The Dead Man like The Great Khali did. Then Davari and Khali come down to the ring. Davari said there would be no Undertaker at Piper's Pit, he said Khali ended Taker once and for all, blah blah blah Khali said something I couldn't understand but then the lights go down and on the screen a weird video is shown with Undertaker highlights (same old little girls in a boiler room and all that crap) The Undertakers voice comes on over the speakers and he says Khali is going to have hell to pay. Hell in a Cell! Khali and Davari are pacing back and forth. Then a huge pyro from the ring posts and the stage! The Lights go back to normal and a freaked out Khali turns and big boots Piper and knocks him down! Nothing else to really note here...words can't describe how Pissed off I was that there was no Undertaker in Portland!
Mysterio is shown getting ready for his match. He picks up the World Title, kisses it and leaves his locker room.
Mysterio comes out with usual entrance. The Estrada comes out and does his usual boring, rolling his R's promo and then calls out SD!'s newest talent, Umaga as Mysterio's mystery opponent.
(5) World Title Match: Rey Mysterio versus Umaga...yes, I seriously said Umaga...again, on SD!...two times in one week...Umaga...yes....I know, it sucks.....but Estrada was with him also. Match goes on and Mysterio gets squashed at first but comes back and just as he seems to be on his way to victory, over the barrier by Tazz and Cole, JBL rushes into the ring and gives Mysterio The Clothesline from Hell... JBL then delivers a Clothesline From Hell to Umaga as well. Then SD! Security rushes the ring and JBL quickly makes his exit through the crowd to a lot of heat.
Estrada and Umaga beat down Mysterio after the match but then Chavo Guerrero comes down and makes the save. Chavo and Rey clear the ring! Chavo raises Rey's arm and goes to hand him the World Title but Chavo smacks him over the head with it. Chavo then looks at the title and again bashes it into Mysterio's skull! Chavo then gaizes at the belt for a little while longer and leaves the ring with a shitload of heat.

3. Heyman/Angle segment
4. Tatanka
5. Hardy
Biggest Heat-
1. Chavo when he made the turn
2. JBL
