Friday Night Smackdown: TV Report 1/11/08 Wilkes-Barre, PA Wachovia Center By Bryan Randles

-The show starts with the recap of last weeks Smackdown. They cover the beat the clock challenge match by match. Finlay over MVP, Chavo setting the new time to beat against Funaki, Batista not setting the new pace against the wrestlers formerly known as the Major Brothers. Than Undertaker failing against Henry with Matt Striker as special guest referee and ultimately Mysterio beating Edge and his heads to win the beat the clock challenge with some help from Batista and ‘Taker.

-Vickie Guerrero comes out in the wheelchair that is being pushed by Teddy Long. She introducers her “long time friend” Rey Mysterio and he makes his way to the ring. Once in the ring Vickie congratulates Rey on receiving the title shot against Edge. Rey thanks her and says it’s difficult for him that she is on his opponent’s side. Rey says he’s wanted to talk to her though and he mentions he still cares about her because of Eddie and that he’s here for her. He does wonder what is up with Edge though? Vickie says she didn’t come here to speak on her private life, Rey questions what’s private about it considering she’s making out in front of the cameras.

Rey wonders about Eddie. Vickie says Eddie is no longer with us and he loved me so much he’d want me to move on and find new love. She says she’s still in her 30’s and can still have more kids and that Edge is the perfect father figure. Rey objects to the idea of Edge being a father. Vicki says Rey doesn’t understand Edge, to which Rey says Edge doesn’t love her.

-Cue Edge’s music and out he comes. Edge has heard enough of this crap and tells Rey that he doesn’t know how he feels about Vicki. That his love for her is reality and another reality is after the rumble he’ll still be champion. Rey tells Vickie that that is sick and maybe it’s true he’ll still love Vicki after the rumble, but he won’t still be champion.

-Cue Chavo’s music and I guess he has something to say. Chavo gets in the ring and says, first of all Rey, mind you own business. Rey says it is his business, but Chavo says that no matter how hard you try you’ll never be a Guerrero. Chavo than wonders how Vickie can call herself a Guerrero, which actually gets a pop for the heel. Chavo says Vickie is disgusting and Edge takes offense. Vickie starts ranting that this is her show and she pays them, so they need to shut up. She makes a match between Chavo and Rey for later tonight and takes great joy in that.
