Smackdown (Big) Spoilers

This week on Smackdown Undertaker gets stripped of the title and he's banned from using the gogoplata

I'd say he's just going to win it back in a match with Edge, but it's interesting. All three shows this week have had something interesting about them that's made me want to watch next week

Full spoilers for whoever wants them, from wrestlingobserver.com:

Undertaker stripped of the world title by Vickie Guerrero and she banned the unnamed gogoplata.

The Miz & John Morrison b Shannon Moore & Jimmy Wang Yang to keep tag titles

Vladimir Kozlov b Colin Delaney

Victoria & Natalya b Michelle McCool & Cherry when Natalya pinned McCool

Mark Henry b Nunzio. Big Show was at ringside for the match and got in the ring after, and Henry bailed

Matt Hardy b MVP to keep the U.S. title in a good match

Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder b Jesse & Festus

Finlay b Julio Dinero

Undertaker b Great Khali. Undertaker destroyed Khali in an injury angle as he's leaving.

Stripping of the title seems like another way to build more heat on vickie and edge not that they need anymore to be hated. Its annoying but thats why its forces you to watch.

Raw seemed old school last night with the cade/murdoch angle, jericho/hbl, cant wait for next week.

P.S Great Khali leaving the company ? why?

Apparently he's going back to India for a while. I don't think he's leaving for good anyway, just taking some leave.

Banning of the gogoplata brings me back to some of the old WCW shows they used to show on Sky where Bill Watts banned moves off the top rope and being thrown over the ropes.

I think it's a great idea at getting over a hold once he eventually goes back to using.

I can just see 'Taler beating him again at the ppv. To me this looks like a short term move to squeeze 1 more ppv with Edge as heel before they move some more heels over to Smackdown like Umaga.

Edge is off for 2 months or so thats why they had him battered the other night. I see them feeding Big Show and Henry to Taker.

Edge has been telling those close to him that he needs time for his banged up body to recover not to mention the fact that he has underwent three major surgeries in the past five years. As reported on WNW Premium after WrestleMania, Edge has been working through pain and some feel that he is burned out on the business. WWE did the angle with Undertaker "injuring" him last night to keep him off of television for the immediate future as it is unknown at this time how long that he will be away. I was told that a good estimate would be one to two months.

I wouldn't put much faith in that report. When Richard Gray reports something that Meltzer, Alvarez and Keller haven't, then it's usually made up

Anyway, Edge will be on Smackdown, meaning that part of the report is already false

In fairness i think they should get rid of the gogoplata permanently. I think Lance Storm made some very good points looking at how it doesn't fit in well in pro-wrestling

Personally I thought that Edge andertaker had a great wrestlemania match, right up to the finish when it went downhill. I was disgusted to see such a weak finish to their match.
