I just got back from the Smackdown taping in Peoria, Illinois. It was a good night, not great but not bad, just good. The crowd was kind of out of it most of the night.

Dark Matches:

Gymini with Simon Dean vs. CM Punk and James Keenan. Punk took most of the beating and Keenan got most offence for that team. Gymini win but need a lot of work still.

Matt Hardy vs. Colt Cabana. Hardy wins with Twist of Fate and his music cued at 2 not 3. After the bell rang, Animal came out beat Hardy, threw him into to ringpost then hit his arm with a chair

Josh and Steve come out

Finlay vs. Psicosis Finlay gets mixed reaction from crowd. Finlay get win with Emerald Fusion.

Scotty 2 Hotty and Funaki vs. Jamie Noble and Kid Kash Scotty got a small "Scotty sucks" chant and saw very little of the match. He ended up getting hit by both guys. Kash held Funaki back while Jamie got the pin

Lashley vs. Vito with Nunzio Quick match, Lashley over BIG Wins with the Dominator

Smackdown:

MNM vs. Paul London and Brian Kendrick. London and Kendrick come out and pick up Melina while she was doing her split intro and did a circle while carrying her. Kendrick in most of the match and beat up good. London gets tagged but it wasnt seen, when he finally gets in he clears the ring but ends up getting knocked down and set up for the Snapshot. Kendrick comes in and takes out Nitro. London gets a small package and a 2 and 9/10th count. Near fall for Mercury another Snapshot set up and Kendrick stops it again, this time London gets the pin with the small package.

Backstage, Booker T and Sharmell talk to Teddy Long saying they got a restraining order on Boogeyman, if he gets within a 100 feet they will sue Teddy and Smackdown.

Booker T vs. Gunner Scott. Booker way over with the crowd, Boogeys entrance plays, Scott with schoolboy for the win. Teddy comes out and says it was an accident that Boogeys music played, but we all had a Boogeyman experience tonight, then repeats that Gunner won.

Chris Benoit congratulates Gunner backstage.

Chris Benoit vs. Simon Dean Benoit attacks Dean before Dean gets to ring. Eventually hits 2 Germans Suplexes then crossfaces Dean for the tap. This was followed immediately by a JBL video about him being a Great American and having a party next week.

Long announces Benoit vs. JBL in a cage for the title later tonight.
