SmackDown House Show Highlights - Jamestown, NY

In the main event, Kane, the Great Khali and MVP teamed up against Rey Mysterio, World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and WWE Champion Triple H.

As each of the competitors made their way to the ring, the crowd seemed to get louder and louder, before finally erupting with the entrance of The Game, Triple H. As his music hit, people came rushing toward the ringside barriers, giving security a run for their money.

MVP took his time running around the ring and gesturing his usual taunt. The Game responded by mocking his taunt and ending with a DX chop, to which the crowd went wild.

It was an action-packed match with a lot of high flying and a crowd-pleasing finish, as Triple H led his team to victory...More?

Fan Report

Another stupid TNA angle

TNA shot an angle at their New York City live event where the former World Tag Team Champions had to decide if they were going to stay with TNA or go back to "the other company" (WWE). They did the angle with them allowing the fans to decide which company they would sign with. Of course the TNA crowd at a TNA house show cheered the loudest for the TNA contract. News flash - Team 3D is staying in TNA.

I'm sure TNA creative expected the fans to be on pins and needles awaiting their decision.

At last, evil Vickie Guerrero is back

“Excuse me!”

I’ve been waiting for weeks to hear those two glorious words spoken with vitriol as as only Vickie Guerrero can. Goodbye whimpering, apologetic Vickie. Welcome back scowling queen of mean.

I’m so glad that WWE has resisted the temptation to turn Smackdown’s wickedly entertaining general manager babyface (reportedly that was to be the original ending of her story line with Edge). It was great to see her morph back into the woman viewers love to hate last night on Smackdown. I’m not sure even Chris Jericho has generated as much heat from the crowd as Guerrero did while she was cutting her promo last night...More?

Another member of the Anti-Hunter Club

You can add Shane McKinley, PWTorch Specialist to the list of "I hate Triple H and the WWE but I watch it every week just so I can bash it" cronies. This d*ck is almost as bad as Dave Metzler. You have to wonder about someone that spends so much time watching and writing about something they claim is terrible.

There must be a treatment center somewhere for this ailment.
