- Cryme Tyme comes out to a huge pop. Shad gets the win via pinfall on Dolph Ziggler after connecting with his finisher.

SmackDown: (Airing Friday)
* There is no opening pyro for SmackDown. Everyone is in a huge rush.

- You guessed it... Very quick match. Gail gets the tag and hits her neck-breaker finisher on Maryse for the win via pinfall.

* MVP b. Shelton Benjamin to retain the United States Championship.
- MVP comes out to a good pop. A video of MVP winning the title plays before the match. Very solid match. Shelton hit a Blockbuster for the two-count then MVP hit the Playmaker for the win. MVP was very over with the local crowd.

* Jeff Hardy vs. Ezekiel Jackson is announced for later.

* A Tribute to the Troops video package is shown.

* Jeff Hardy b. Ezekiel Jackson w/The Brian Kendrick is up next.
- Jeff Hardy comes out to a big pop. Hardy controls most of the match and gets the win following a Swanton Bomb.

This is all that is being taped for this week's SmackDown.

Looks like this smackdown is just going to be crammed with videos of past mania moments etc etc.

Quite a let down

Yup i was wondering when i looked up the spoilers a few days ago and thought it was only nearly enough action for maybe 1 hours of tv , yea id say it will be loads WM moments lead ups etc.

Hail to the troops... HAIL TO OUR TROOPS!
Someone forgot to tell Vince that it's Wrestlemania, not f*ckin December.

They gonna pull tribute to the troops every month now?
If i wanna watch US Military propoganda, i'll watch CNN! :rolleyes:

Could you imagine if Fair City did that once a week with the lads in the FCA? rotfl!

Seems like when Tazz knew he was leaving he took the pyro with him.

Well it is better than ECW whose two matches were
Christian+Finlay vs Kane/+Henry:(
and in the main event just before Wrestlemania we had....












Belle 1 v Belle 2 in a five minute epic:rolleyes:

sources: Wrestling Observer Newsletter, PWInsider.com

-- Most of tomorrow night's edition of Friday Night SmackDown will be taped during tonight's WrestleMania Axxess event in Houston (instead of live tomorrow as was talked about at one point). On tomorrow night's show, Jim Ross and Tazz will pitch to Todd Grisham and Jerry Lawler, who will host the Axxess portion of the broadcast.


EDIT: This news was posted yesterday on PWinsider so that Axxess event was held last night.

Pretty much the final parts in the lead up to WM was on Raw , which is stupid they could have at least had the WHC thing finish on SD. At least we no they dont really care about SD (although i dont think they ever did)

And right now they have Grisham and Lawler at the fan event but no Smackdown matches. They're showing Raw matches and Wrestlemania promos. The only new thing that I've seen apart from the fan event was an Edge promo

Fozzy

Never mind, they're showing Smackdown now after 40 minutes of none. I missed the very start
