Smackdown
Paul London is the new cruiserweight champ. They had a Battle Royal instead of a match since Chavo can't work because of his eye injury. Chavo was in the match and thrown right out. London skinned the cat on Kidman to win. Others involved were Nunzio, Funaki, Akio, Spike and one other guy.
Doug Basham b Eddie Guerrero - Mysterio tried to help when Danny was intefering. He screwed up and Eddie was mad
Booker T b Luther Reigns. This was a backdrop to get Sharmell over more than Booker
Bob Orton Jr. came out and got on his hands and knees and begged the Undertaker not to destroy his son. Undertaker had no such mercy. Of course, Randy came from behind and RKO'd him. Bob laughed.
Danny Basham b Mysterio - I'll bet you can figure out the drill by now
Kurt Angle did the Angle slam and ankle lock on poor Josh Matthews since Josh apparently was a fan of Shawn Michaels growing up. No Shawn on this show.
Akebono and Big Show had a weigh-in. The worked weights were 493 and 504 respectively.
Akebono b Eddie Vegas. This was his first pro match,and it wasn't even in Japan where it would mean big ratings. 58 seconds and short enough that it wasn't bad.
John Cena NC Carlito. JBL came out with police officers in the middle of the match to arrest Cena for vandalism. He was taken out. Well, hopefully he can raise the bail money by Sunday.
Of course, in Houston, he made bail in seconds, and Teddy Long gave the people Wrestlemania early in a dark match. They went 15:00, non-title, FU and it's over. People were super into Cena, more than anyone else on the show, and were on their feet the entire match. However, I was also told without a hot crowd, this match is terrible |

As much as I am thrilled to hear about Paul London winning the Cruiserweight Championship, the way he won the title was stupid for two reasons:
1) He was the number one contender, so why the hell would all those other jobbers be getting a chance too?
2) WrestleMania is this weekend, why not have saved this as a late addition to the show? I'm sure it is only five minutes, so it would have been easy to fit.

Well Ernie....
1)Because the CW division is a total joke.
2)See the answer to #1.
thank you.

Bleh, only WWE could take something awesome like Paul London winning a championship and ruin it.
And DK is right... the CW division is a total joke.

It could be about to shape up with the addition of Psychosis, Super Crazy and Juvi. We should at least see some good matches.

::Envisions Super Crazy's WWE debut in a match against JBL... is squashed in two minutes::

Just a question here....
But does anyone know if those guys were signed to the WWE or not? I know Super Crazy is, but from what I've heard the others have only been signed to do the ECW show......and Juvi hasn't signed from what I've heard. They are interested in him, but there are still bad feelings from his tryout match from a year or so ago.
whitemilesdavis - March 30, 2005 04:03 PM (GMT)
I know I saw that they were all three coming in after mania, but I'll have to check my sources to make sure.
TehDoct0r - March 30, 2005 08:32 PM (GMT)
I heard the same thing. I would have liked them to put the cruiser battle royal at Mania WITH those three guys. It might be askin the lucha boys a bit much to debut at Mania, but it could have made for a very entertaining match and instantly give the Mexicans something to chase.

You forgot Reason #3: The Contendership was won on Velocity, so anything that happens on that is subject to change on every other program, even if it has been announced.

I DEMAND:
AKIO VS. PAUL LONDON 2/3 FALLS!!!!!
Mad Dog - March 30, 2005 10:25 PM (GMT)
And those three additions won't be that great. Psicosis has rapidly declined as a worker and isn't that good now. Super Crazy I can't see being that good in the WWF style. I doubt Juvi would leave NOAH and AAA as he's probably making more money. If they did sign him they'll have fired him by September.
SamoaRowe - March 30, 2005 10:45 PM (GMT)
If it were up to me, Paul London would defend his newly won Cruiserweight Championship at WrestleMania... against either Akio or Kidman... or both!
I know that's not going to happen though, and if it did... it would be on Heat.
TehDoct0r - March 31, 2005 12:00 AM (GMT)
Hmmm.... Akio vs London 2/3 falls...... Would be quite interesting. Too bad it'd never happen. I don't know if it'd be too good either, cause I've never seen Jimmy Yang in anything over 12 minutes.
Scrooge McSuck - March 31, 2005 12:02 AM (GMT)
You don't know if it will be good?!!? (mutates into the Hulk)
SamoaRowe - March 31, 2005 12:14 AM (GMT)
I'm sure a 2/3 falls Akio/London match would be tremendous, based on their Velocity encounters.
Sure we haven't seen Akio in anything too long, but when was the last time he was booked for that sort of lenght? I think based on his exceptional ring work that he displays with the time he is given, it is safe to assume Akio could tear the house down on a regular basis if they let him.
TehDoct0r - March 31, 2005 12:31 AM (GMT)
I'm not saying it would be bad. I'm just saying I have no clue which way it would go. I'd definetly want to give it a chance.

Meltzer reported today that Psichosis's deal is finalized.
Scrooge McSuck - April 1, 2005 09:52 PM (GMT)
As much as I liked Psycosis (Physcosis/Pschicosis etc. etc.), by now he must be way past his prime, and will turn into the second coming of Ultimo Dragon. Pushed for a week, and buried in Velocity hell against Shannon Moore every week.
DAMN YOU, WWE! I WANT MY ULTIMO!
whitemilesdavis - April 1, 2005 09:54 PM (GMT)
He's actually still pretty young, and very capable of putting on good matches. I think his style and history with Mysterio will help his cause in WWE.
dynamite kido - April 2, 2005 03:29 PM (GMT)
Well, it's not like they are going to do anything with any of the new cruisers brought in......EXCEPT for Psicosis......and that's only because he's cool with Mysterio.
TehDoct0r - April 2, 2005 05:47 PM (GMT)
IF they do bring in Juvi, and IF he isn't fired within a month, I think they'll do something with him. He always seems to be massively over wherever he goes.
Scrooge McSuck - April 2, 2005 05:52 PM (GMT)
He's only been used primarily as Rey Mysterios job boy, because they tend to have great chemistry. Other than that... he's not too bad, but he's not anything special.
dynamite kido - April 2, 2005 06:38 PM (GMT)
I'm pretty convinced that juvi would fuck up anything good that they have planned for him. But I'm sure we won't have to worry about that.....you know, him being a cruiser and all.
