WWE Smackdown on UPN March 17, 2006 Taped March 14, 2006 in Bossier City, Louisiana Report by James Caldwell, Torch columnist

- We began with clips from last week when Mark Henry squashed Kurt Angle through a table. They replayed it from hundreds of different angles.

- Michael Cole set the stage for the six-man tag match of Mark Henry and MNM vs. Angle, Rey, and Randy. Yes, it makes no sense for Henry and Randy to be on opposite teams.

- Lumberjacks were assembled ringside to pantomime before the Finlay-Lashley match. We saw a replay of their parking lot brawl last week.

1 -- FIT FINLAY vs. BOBBY LASHLEY -- Money in the Bank qualifier and Lumberjack match

Lashley charged the ring and kicked Finlay to the outside. Finlay fought off the cruiserweight babyface lumberjacks. So much for them. Back in the ring, Lashley slammed Finlay on his back. Lashley went for a roll up for a quick win, which is completely self-defeating for a babyface who is supposed to be an asskicker. The heel and babyface lumberjacks squared off in the ring. Lashley stared the heels down then rolled into the ring. Finlay attacked Lashley in the corner. Orlando Jordan held Lashley's foot. Cole said Orlando is supposed to be an impartial lumberjack. Of course, there has never been an impartial lumberjack in the history of this match. Finlay tossed Lashley to the outside and the "impartial" heels jacks beat up Lashley. Cole continued to plead his case of impartiality to no avail. In the ring, Finlay applied a reverse chinlock. Lashley fought to his feet and backed Finlay into the corner. He answered with a clothesline. Finlay made a cover for a nearfall. Lashley made his superman comeback at 5:30. However, Finlay knocked him to the outside and the heel jacks beat him up. Back in the ring, Finlay went back to work with forearm blows in the corner. Finlay ate the corner post. Lashley delivered forearm blows. He hit a majestic overhead suplex. His next few moves weren't crisp. Then, he hit a high vertical suplex after holding Finlay in the air for several seconds. The crowd ate it up. Lashley and Finlay brawled to the outside. Lashley fought off the heels. He rolled Finlay back into the ring and stalked him. Sylvan entered the ring with a chair. Lashley speared him and the chair. He did too much posing - looking like a dolt - then turned around and Finlay smashed him over the head with the shillelagh. He made the cover for the win.
