Dumbarton Elementary library named best in state
The Dumbarton Elementary School library is a special place – just ask any of the school's students, who regularly participate in collaborative learning projects with classmates and their teachers there and who are free to return and check out books any time during the school day.
Ask principal Eileen Traveline, who has witnessed a revival of the library as a place where true 21st century learning takes place each day and where students become excited about new technology and well-versed in group interaction and communication.
Ask parents of students for whom English is a second language, who have engaged in family literacy nights and taken field trips to public libraries to become more proficient in a new culture, thanks to the efforts of school officials.
Ask sixth-year librarian Suzanna Panter, whose leadership efforts have transformed the library into the focal point of the school.
Or, simply, take the opinion of the Virginia Association of School Librarians, which recently named the Dumbarton Elementary library its library of the year – making it the first elementary school ever to win the award.
"Our kids are constantly over-achieving," Panter said. "It's definitely a success story, and the library plays such an important role in the school."
Dumbarton is unique in the way it utilizes its library as a developmental classroom for students. Instead of simply being dropped off by their teachers to spend time inside, students in second through fifth grades come to the libraries with their teachers to work on special projects and assignments that go beyond simply researching and reading.
"The teachers buy into the flexible schedule because they are a part of it and see the academic results in their students," Henrico Deputy Superintendent for Policy and Elementary Education Pat Kinlaw wrote in a nomination letter on behalf of the school.
Achieving buy-in from teachers for the new system required some adjustment, principal Eileen Traveline said. But "I don't think anyone would go back now. Once they got in there and realized the benefit of it for the children an their learning, I don't think they would turn back."
Reaching a diverse student body
Dumbarton has a diverse student population – 43 percent black, 25 percent white, 17 percent Hispanic and 9 percent Asian – and more than a quarter of its students speak English as a second language. Panter found that many children and their parents had not been to a county library, so she established regular family literacy nights at the school, during which students play literacy-themed games and read with their families. On other nights, translators explain the program to new ESL families and encourage parents to get their own school library cards as a way to help them learn English.
The school also has organized several field trips to public libraries to further its education and outreach efforts.
Because only about half of Dumbarton's students live in households that have computers, it's even more critical that they are exposed to technology in school, Traveline said.
"If we don't provide them with 21st-century skills, then they don't get them," she said.
Traveline credits Panter with creating the culture that has helped students excel.
"She's very innovative, very much on top of what current research says," Traveline said. "She has a vision, and she's constantly trying to think of new things to do.
"The kids are excited about what they're doing. They're working in groups, they're collaborating, they're learning."
Panter and Dumbarton officials have viewed the school's library as a model for other elementaries because of the unique way it serves its community. Now, the VaASL has concurred.
"Ms. Panter integrates information literacy, skillful research and inquiry, and ethical use of technology for all students," VaASL officials said in a statement announcing the award.
The library's "open-access" model is designed to encourage students to spend time in the library any time. With their teachers' permission, students can visit the library during the school day to return and check out books.
"People just think that kids just come to the library, read books and go, and that's just not how it is in Henrico and at Dumbarton," Panter said. "We collaborate with teachers to come up with projects to teach SOL skills on problem solving drills.
"I'm hoping that we'll become even more of a model, especially with the collaboration piece."
Thanks to federal stimulus money several years ago, the school was able to purchase 10,000 new books for its library, replacing a number of old ones in the process. Now, with a complement of 15,000 books overall, students have plenty from which to choose – and choose they do. They check out an average of 7,000 books each month.
Dumbarton also recently earned a grant from the Henrico Education Foundation to support its e-reader incentive program, which Panter identified as a way to engage students who weren't excited about reading. Students can check out an e-reader for six weeks, take it home and read with their parents.
"The ultimate goal is for kids to love to read," Panter said. "Students will check out the [e-readers] for six weeks and twice a week will come to the library to discuss the books they're reading. Parents are invited once a week as well."
Said HEF program manager Paula Roop of Panter's concept: "We like the idea that she was trying to use technology to impact achievement. By letting children take it home, it engages the parents as well as students."
Dumbarton officials will be honored during the VaASL Conference in Hampton Nov. 9.

Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

FIFA-on-Twitter has spread a different level of camaraderie, bringing people from all over the globe and connecting them on one note – absolute love of the game.
Towards the fag end of FIFA 2010, the realisation dawns that it has been a different ball game this time. (Well, not so much for me; for neither am I an avid follower nor am I heartbroken because all the best bets have been sent packing home.)
The World Cup this time has been played out not just on television screens or enormous LCD monitors in the comfort of living rooms, and amongst sultry crowds outside television showrooms, but on the net and its networking arms as well. The ball, this time, was in social networking's court and it seems like a game played well.
Before you shouted 'goal' or a loud 'NO', you have typed in the '#'key followed by the update. News stories, anecdotes, off-field gossip, friendly spats, predictions, disappointments, admiration for the handsome men running across the fields, along with match updates in tweets and retweets of 140 characters at a time, hundreds a second – that's how Twitter has hosted the most-awaited game season.
And testimony to the football bounty on Twitter has been the very gentle-looking yet irritating 'failwhale' that appeared on your screens most times you tried to log in when a game was on.
"Nothing can replace the joy of watching the game with good friends and football maniacs," says a friend, who has also been following the game on social networking sites. Unarguably, yes. But FIFA-on-Twitter has spread a different level of camaraderie, bringing people from all over the globe and connecting them on one note – absolute love of the game.
Waka waka
For a total ignoramus, Twitter, through this season, has besides bringing timely and sensible updates, helped me feel the senseless madness, religious fervour and blind love associated with the game from ground zero, well, almost. And so, when I first tweeted "making sense of the game", a "follower" and soccer devotee was quick to reply "don't try to make sense, just enjoy".
And that is what I have done, to the extent of staying up late nights to watch the game, realising in moments that am on the edge of the seat, and jumping in bouts of glee, following live updates my colleagues at office put up and with unshaken faith in their teams, and of course, all the while logged in to Twitter.
And once you go #worldcup, it is impossible not to be swept off in the whirlwind of football crazy updates. Five minutes into writing this story, the #worldcup page shows 567 "new tweets", nearly two hours after the game, and in so many languages. The first semis over, the debate rages on – will it be #NED, #ESP or #GER that go into the finals of #worldcup. "RT if you think #GER is going to win the #worlcup" to "Once again Spain please don't break my heart tomorrow" to "#worldcup is getting weak…Netherlands", the tweets just don't stop. Comments have never been freer and so diverse.
The tweetbeat worlcup page is the most happening forum, with 14, 845 followers, an exciting countdown timer for matches, and posts flowing in as easy as you say "tweet". The FIFA's official account is a lead player, bringing updates from South Africa, and its English version having more than 117,000 followers at last count.
The FIFAWorldcupTM, poised as the unofficial updates provider, is one step up, with more than 120,000 aficionados following. Also anyone who cares to prefix #worlcup before his/her tweet is in the game, generating innumerable tweets through the matches.
Dedicated Facebook pages, live updates on numerous sites, paid mobile updates to improve your football "gyan", and FIFA has just been everywhere. Truly, 'world'cup and very much on the move. "With cable television playing truant, I followed entire games just on Twitter this season," says Noufel, who just moved in to his new apartment in Nigeria, and followed every game on Twitter.
And in the newsroom, as the ball hovers around the goalpost and is near in, the FIFA-in-charge colleague goes hammer and tongs at the keyboard – postponing his agony and ecstasy by a few minutes for the sake of the reader. What a season this has been, even for a disinterested cynic like me (or rather, how I started out to be).
And before I can believe this myself, I am actually disheartened that Germany lost to Spain nevertheless looking forward to the team that is going to lift the coveted cup at Johannesburg on Sunday and feeling a tad unhappy the season is over too soon.
Waka waka, indeed, this time for Twitter and its tweeple.

Hello my little Herbs de Provence. How goes it?
This week we find Mr. JAM and Ross attempting to enjoy a nice leisurely dinner, when Ross gives Jeffrey a small assignment -- lighting the grill.
I love you, but don't ever make me do that again.
JAM has some issues. He's not much of a chef. He says he pretty much starved before Ross came along (Thank you so much for saving our malnourished decorator Ross. We imagine a courtship filled with you setting small plates out and Jeffrey tentatively eating from them, like a deer). But Ross' birthday is coming up and Jeffrey wants to "Jamie Oliver up" -- and we don't mean fixing America's school lunch problem. So, JAM does what any of us would do when we want to cook for our loved one's birthday: he orders takeout from a place Ross has never been to before and throws out the boxes he hires James Beard award winning chef Suzanne Goin to teach him make an onion tart.
After learning the ropes of doubling a recipe (cook it twice and stack the tarts together) Jeffrey enlists sweet Demetra to help him create the dish at the beach house he's using for the fete. Whilst Blackberrying the pair struggles with cut onions and oven temperatures (to have been on the receiving end of that phone call, I probably would have said crank it to 600 degrees but I am very cruel, mostly because I was not invited). in the end the tart is perfect and Ross is floored -- though that might have been for Ireland's white frock.
Success! Happy birthday Ross!

Its actually misha( vikram's wife). Now finally she knows the truth. She is really hurt and looks at vikram with disgust and says that how could you be so cheap and when you could not get a girl under you, you raped her and many more things she said which i dont remember.
She goes home, to her room and cries and throws things here and there. Vikram also comes home and goes to his didi's room and tells her that misha knows everything. Didi is very upset and is thinking what to do next when misha comes in the room and says that nothing can be done as vikram has committed the most cheap and disgusting act in this world. Aditya, arindam, debo and ishita enter the room also . Misha tells everyone that vikram has raped meenakshi and smriti is his daughter and aditya and arindam have always been on his side. Debo and Ishita are also shocked.
Didi pretends as if she knew nothing about all this. She goes and slaps vikram and everyone is shocked. Misha says that she cant live with vikram anymore cos that would bring bad luck to her and her daughter. She asks vikram to leave this house immediately.
As she says this, didi pretends to faint. Doctor says nothing serious, evryone is worried. When only vikram is in the room didi gets up and says that she knows how to get rid of this problem.

Re: Being The Booker
Here are a few comments from me.
I sense that the draft had something to do with Snap's influence. There is no way I could see you just stealing so many Raw superstars to enrich Smackdown if you were running the show yourself. It makes a lot of sense since he wants to have his own preferences. You were really not compensated at all since Brock Lesnar cannot equal anything that you gave away, but Snap needs to have the show to his preferences. I do not like Lesnar on Raw because he is without Heyman, and Heyman really makes Lesnar a great heel.
I do not like that you reverted to Heyman and Bischoff as your general managers. I thought it really added a spice to your shows with the unique general managers of Bret Hart and Mick Foley or Ric Flair. I do not like it, but they are still great general managers. Gives it an early 2004 or 2003 feel.
You really split up Degeneration X. I thought Cade was going to go as well. It was good that Cade is the one that stayed because he is the true protege of HBK. Splitting up DX a little makes sense since Shawn is in the midst of his face turn, and I really cannot imagine Reigns and Jindrak as faces. The new members for the Horsemen and DX should be interesting.
The Randy Orton and John Cena feud is moving at a slow pace, but I like that you are building it for Backlash.
Christian as a face will be awesome.
Jericho's promo was gold. It has given me an idea for a promo.
Breaking up The World's Greatest Tag Team was the only way you could go. The only good thing that comes out of it is that they will have feud with each other, easily the most redundant feud in BTB history. I hope you give them both excellent singles pushes into the Intercontinental and USA title divisions.

Snap is currently unable to come to the forums for the forseeable future. This second edition of Smackdown will be the last in full until he manages to return.

Re: Being The Booker
3 Hour Special Review
Right off the bat I feel I have to say that the interaction between JR, Coachman and tonight Cole and Tazz is great in this thread.
The choices for GMs are interesting and are the best choices for the job regardless IMO. Bischof will shake things up showing a bias towards the heels maybe even taking one under his wing ala Angle? Paul Heyman may show a little bias to the ECW originals. Perhaps we will see an extreme influence on Smackdown with Heyman there?
Luther Reigns leaves DX weakened which I'm sure will come into play in their Horsemen feud. LESNAR! Well that opens up some new feuds on Raw and gives him a chance to feshen up his character after losing at WM.
Carlito vs. Christian seemed like a good opener to the show which would get the fans going. I can only see this being a mini-feud to give Christian the final springboard to the Main event scene.
I really enjoyed this Brock/Eric scene and the tension was clearly evident between the two. I can see some potential friction with Bisch and Brock down the road concerning the title.
Well I don't see Snitsky doing much on Raw and Bischoff must be pissed that he lost Undertaker! A great choice here to move Taker to SD which balances out the loss of Lesnar.
Hall vs. Laree seems like a decent Women's match and it is great that you are beefing up the Women's division after seeing Shiquaia (sp) leave after WM.
I love this Jericho segment and Y2J comes off perfectly as the cocky heel. I laughed my ass off when he was calling Todd Rod.
Jericho was priceless when he was dissing England and soccer ball was genius. Also the everest comment had me in stiches. It looks like this Undertaker Jericho feud isn't over after the draft and it will be interesting to see where Snap goes with this. A great segment here.
Six man tag match is great and takes advantage of having everyone on the one show for a night. The action is quick paced as expected for a tag match with these people involved. Rey screwed his own team! It seems that Edge and Rey's feud will continue for a while yet.
I like the New Horsemen even if it was a quick transition from Evoloution. Flair does most of the talking however Tista and Dinsmore get a chance to develop on the stick.
Wow Bischoff is getting destroyed in this draft as RVD moves to SD while Simon Dean moves in the other direction. This was great the way that Bischoff tries to hide that he isn't pissed and then snaps after Simon Dean offers him the hair dye.
Bischoff really is pissed off! Rey has to defend the breifcase in an I Quit match. This match should be great and Rey picked the wrong night to cross Bisch.
HBK/Batista: I think HBK needed this win as Tista is only seen as a bit part player in the Horsemen and HBK needs to regain some credibility.
This segment with Cristian/Tomko/Test and the Page 3 girls is brilliant. The dialouge between Christian and Tomko was brilliantly done and seemed so natural. Also we see Christian is a bit of a ladies man.
Bischoff is really getting owned in this draft and the Horsemen have been weakened to keep this DX/Horsemen feud fair.
Wow Haas to SD and I guess the titles will have to be vacated.
Cena vs. Flair is decent but Orton plants Cena to show that there is still life in this feud yet.
Benoit vs. HHH. Wow. A great main event which caps off a great show. This was a suberb way to give Benoit credibility as champion defeating the game after such a long contest.
Great Show Man! I really enjoyed reading it.

Re: Being The Booker
WWE RAW Review - April 3, 2006
McMahon starts the show to no surprise. Bischoff is the GM of RAW, and Heyman's the GM of SmackDown!. Those are pretty good choices, and I believe they were a tad predictable, but hey you can't have everything right? Anyway, Wow Lesnar is picked to go to RAW. That should be a great thing to see. And D-X is already cut down to three. I have a feeling things are going to be shook up as we go on tonight.
Carlito versus Christian to star the wrestling portion of the show. I like it. Not a bad way of kicking off the show, and some good action. Good finish, and it's nice to see Christian win, and this face run could be awesome to watch.
Intriguing promo from Lesnar and Bischoff. Somehow I don't see Lesnar getting in the title hunt for a little while, but feuding with a main event caliber guy, and not getting into the hunt until around Summerslam or so. That could be wrong, but it's just my opinion.
Meh, not really intrigued by Snitsky, BUT WHOA! UNDERTAKER TO SMACKDOWN! Good lord that's awesome. Can't wait to see what happens with him. Should be a great addition to the SmackDown! roster.
Nice job debuting Laree and Hall. An okay match between the two of them, and to no shock Laree wins. Hopefully she gets a good push, as she's one of my favs.
Great Jericho promo. Thought this was pretty entertaining, and was the right length for the type of promo it was. Looks like the Jericho/Undertaker feud will be continuing, which is great because it could lead to another great match at Judgment Day.
Noticed that you said Angle instead of Jericho. But you noted that so it's not that big of a deal. Anyway, solid six man tag team match, and it was a pretty exciting one as well. I like how you're writing longer match recaps, it makes it seem a lot better, but that could just be because it's a 3 Hour RAW, and if so, oh well. Anyway, fun match, and Team SmackDown! winning is a pretty big move, as them winning on RAW's turf is intriguing to say the least. The Mysterio interaction is great, as the Edge/Mysterio feud continues to build.
Nice promo from the Horsemen. Flair was much in character, and Flair/Cena should be epic later on tonight. I expect an Orton appearance in that one. Dinsmore I can't judge, as I don't know how to judge him lol. And Batista seemed in character. Whoa, DX is downgraded yet again, looks like the end of DX now. Fun while it lasted I suppose. Conway's nothing special really.
RVD moving to SD! Should be fun. Will be interested to see where that goes. Good stuff from Heyman there. I can see the dissention between the two, really reminds me of the draft in '04. Lol, Dean is moved to RAW, and already plugs his Simon System. Hey, that reminds me, where in the hell is he nowadays? Bischoff seems furious, and some good stuff from him replying to HBK about DX. Yes. As expected, Rey vs Edge for the MITB. Should be an excellent match come Backlash.
Nice match between HBK and Batista. Some good action, and a good finish with HBK surprisingly winning. Would've thought he would lose, but considering DX lost two guys, I guess it's expected that they'd win.
Good promo from Christian and Test. Don't know where Maven came from, but I'm guessing it was supposed to be Test. Comical stuff here, typical Christian, and like I said earlier, a face Christian from Wolfy should be awesome stuff to see.
Hah, Ron Simmons to RAW, and Bischoff with the impression. Good stuff in this one, all seemed much in character. DAMN. Now I understand why Batista lost, he's going to Smackdown! Breakup of the Horsemen already? I don't think so, I think a new addition's coming. Anyway, LOL! Rico! Bischoff makes a good point, but it would come across as hilarious if it were in real life.
Wow! Haas is gone! WGTT is split! Should be interesting to see where you go with Shelton, and hopefully it's up. Because this could be great for him, but Haas, I expect him to be a heel soon, bitching about being sent to SmackDown! and being put in his place by someone… like Angle? Who knows, just an idea that just came across my head.
Good match between Flair and Cena. Looked like Cena dominates at the end, as always, and easily picks up the victory. YES! RKO! RKO! RKO! WOO!! Love how this Orton/Cena feud is building, I'm gonna guess and say Orton is going to get his ass handed to him next week, just how this is playing out I'm judging.
Career Killer aye? New gimmick? I like it. Orton's playing headgames with Cena, and this can only get better.
WOW. What a main event, loved this one Wolfy. You did an awesome job of recapping it, and also writing the finish. Good job of describing Benoit's lacking of knowing what to do in his first title defense, and it seemed like HHH was beating the crap out of him, and pummeling him throughout the match. Great match, and great finish with Benoit retaining as expected. Great show Wolfy, and I look forward to more shows.
All Hail

Re: Being The Booker
London, England
April 6th, 2006
Opening Video
Michael Cole:
Last week the wrestling world was left in shock as Stone Cold Steve Austin officially announced his retirement from the ring. The Rattlesnake however announced that he had one last great performance left in him, one final match. Tonight is our last stop before Austin: The Final Chapter and The Rattlesnake is here LIVE in the UK.
Oh man, Austin AND his opponent for next week, his good friend and fellow Smackdown Superstar The Rock are both here tonight and I know for a fact from seeing him earlier today that The Rock is in much better spirits tonight then he was last week. It should be pretty damn interesting to see what goes down between the two friends here tonight before that huge match next week
** Extreme ** hits to a mixed reaction from the crowd as the New GM of Smackdown, Paul Heyman prances out onto the stage, with the crowd continuously booing him as he arrogantly smiles across the arena.
Michael Cole:
Well there he is. You are looking at the man that last Monday was named the New General Manager of Smackdown. He is the former agent of Brock Lesnar, he took a small Northeast Promotion to Global Heights in the form of ECW, but can that man, Paul Heyman do the same with Smackdown?
Well Heyman and I have known each other for a long time, weve had our ups and downs, but I will say this, Heyman is an evil genius and I have no doubts that we are in for one hell of an interesting ride with him at the helm.
Michael Cole:
I talked about the wrestling world standing in shock for Austin last week, and I have to believe that the announcement of Heyman and Bischoff returning to their previous roles as General Managers of the respective brands, sent shockwaves through the wrestling world as well and you have to wonder, just what is that man is going to do on his first night on the job?
Heyman enters the ring, and is quickly handed a microphone.
Paul Heyman:
Last week, I stood before you as the agent of Brock Lesnar, nothing more and nothing less, my sole purpose was to ensure the success of The Iron Man and I did that with honour and dignity to the utmost HOLY CRAP, WHAT A WEEK CAN CHANGE!
Mixed Reaction
Paul Heyman:
You see because in the span of just seven days, Brock Lesnar has gone to RAW and I stand here before you as my own man, and the New GM of Smackdown. Where as once my one responsibility were for one man and one man only, I now hold the responsibilities for this entire brand. The Superstars, The Production Crew, Michael Cole and Tazz, they all look to me and rightfully so, because I will make it my sole responsibility to guide them all to a heights that this brand has yet to experience. I will show no favourites, despite my obvious disregard for some ..
The Crowd starts a slight Benoit chant
Paul Heyman:
Yes, Chris Benoit is the Current WWE Champion, but he is not out here right now, this is MY time and I would appreciate it if you would all take that as a cue to quiet down and listen up as what I have to say is much more important then any one superstar and that includes Chris Benoit.
The crowd pretty much turns on Heyman for the comment, giving him big heat
Paul Heyman:
As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, for years this brand has taken a backseat to the ego of one Bret Hitman Hart who took it upon himself to spend more time playing with Kurt Angle then actually running this show and I guarantee you, that things like that simply will not happen under The Heyman Administration.
Crowd Gives Heat
Paul Heyman:
Its no secret some of my past decisions and actions stand very unappreciated by you people and who knows, maybe rightfully so however standing before you is a new man, a new Paul Heyman and I intend to prove that at every opportunity possible. Last Monday Night I stood before you all saying I make no promises as to what I will accomplish with this brand, youll just have to watch every Thursday Night and find out and I stand by that. Coincidentally however tonight IS Thursday Night and being a man of my word, I am going to exercise my right as General Manager and make this show just a bit more exciting.
Crowd Pops
Paul Heyman:
Because right here tonight, in the Main Event, in a rematch from last Monday Night it will be Triple H vs. Chris Benoit for the WWE Championship.
Crowd Pops HUGE for the announcement of the Main Event
Paul Heyman:
Wait because the fun doesnt stop there. You see because for the past week I have been getting emails from Ric Flair endlessly telling me about Batistas potential and urging me not to make a mistake with his Animal. So tonight, at the request of Mr. Flair, the New RAW Draft Pick Batista will get his a chance to make his mark when he faces Matt Hardy for The United States Championship.
Crowd Gives a Pretty Big Reaction
Paul Heyman:
Oh and incase anyone was wondering, that match is now.
Michael Cole:
What?! Matt Hardy is being forced to defend his United States Championship right now?? Hardy hasnt even had time to prepare for a match let alone a title match against The Animal, Batista. Controversial decision by our New General Manager if you ask me.
Well I agree but at the same time, Heyman promised the fans the best product possible and I think Hardy vs. Batista has a lot of appeal, sure Hardy didnt have time to prepare but I bet Matt would agree that any Real Champion is ready to defend his belt all the time, spur of the moment.
Michael Cole:
As much as I disagree with this for moral reasons, I cant argue with that logic.
Moral? This is Sports Entertainment Cole, in this business theres no such thing as morals, Ive dropped guys on there heads hundreds of times, if I had morals in that ring, Id be in a shrink 24/7.
** Unleashed ** hits and Batista makes his way out onto the ramp, pumping himself up to some pretty big heat from the crowd which unsurprisingly he completely ignores.
** Live For The Moment ** hits and Matt Hardy, the United States Champion, makes his way out into the arena with the crowd absolutely erupting for the first major face of the night. Hardy pumps himself up as well, bouncing up and down and staring at Batista before charging to the ring as the crowd cheers.
Match # 1:
United States Championship
Matt Hardy © vs. Batista
A commercial break cuts in half the match that sees Batista dominate mostly throughout, taking it to Hardy with a variety of power moves and being seemingly too much for The United States Champion to handle. Hardy eventually makes a hero comeback, nailing Batista with several rights and lefts and whipping him into the ropes, connecting with a cross body on the way back. Hardy then picks Batista up to his feet, nailing him with a few rights before coming off the ropes again BUT BATISTA CATCHES HIM WITH A SPINEBUSTER!!
Hardy is down as Batista motions that the gold will be around his waste soon, taking a moment to taunt the crowd before lifting Hardy for a Batista Bomb BUT V1 COUNTERS, DROPPING BEHIND HIM!! Batista turns around as Hardy motions for him to come get some, backing up into the ropes. Batista lunges at him but Hardy pulls the ropes down at the last second and Batista flies out of the ring! Batista quickly tries to pull himself together on the outside, as Hardy gets out of the ring and onto the apron, lunging off with a shoulder tackle that knocks Batista over the railing and into the crowd!!
Hardy quickly pulls himself together as the referee begins to make the count, jumping back into the ring as the referee reaches seven, with Batista still trying to get up on the outside. Finally Batista gets to his feet, but its too late as the referee finishes making the ten count!!
Winner by Count Out and Still United States Champion:
Matt Hardy
Hardy celebrates his win, with Batista fuming on the outside at the loss, quickly bolting back into the ring with Hardy jumping out and heading up the ramp, taunting Batista the whole way after outsmarting him here tonight.
Backstage Steve Romero is standing by with JBL, who surprisingly stands alone here tonight.
Steve Romero:
I am standing here now with a man who vowed to make an impact last week, he is the self proclaimed Wrestling God. Ladies and Gentlemen J,B,L. John, its no secret youve had quite the week thus far scoring the winning pin fall in that Interpromotional Tag Team Match on Monday Night, but tonight another challenge lies in front of you in the form of the man you blindsided last week, Hardcore Holly. How are you feeling about going up against The Alabama Slamma?
Todd err Steve, whatever they call you these days, I explained my actions against Hardcore Holly last week rather simply. You see Holly was in the wrong place at the wrong time, it could have been anyone, The Rock, Chris Benoit heck even Stone Cold Steve Austin. Now I arrived here tonight in the highest of spirits after single handedly waging war with RAW and winning, only to find out that that ignorant buffoon wanted a shot at redemption in the form of a match with the me, which I graciously accepted. So tonight, Hardcore Holly gets his wish, he gets to play with fire and ultimately like so many others he will be severely burned. I said last week that I would make an impact the likes of which have never been seen before not just on Smackdown, but in this company. Tonight, its starts with Hardcore Holly and ends with JBL W,W,E Champion.
JBL closes his eyes and looks up to the heavens before pushing past Steve Romero and walking off the camera and out of sight.
Steve Romero:
Michael Cole and Tazz, back to you.
** One Of A Kind ** hits and another huge draft pick makes his way out to the ring in the form of Rob Van Dam. RVD is dressed and street clothes and walks to the ring with a less than happy look on his face, with two weeks of built up rage still inside him after being screwed out of the Money In The Bank match at Wrestlemania. RVD rolls into the ring and does his signature thumb taunt, however not half as enthusiastically as he usually is. A stagehand quickly hands him a microphone.
Rob Van Dam:
You know something? After taking a new outlook on life these past few months I really hate to do this, but I just have to say that this is BULLSH*T!
Crowd lets out an OOOO at the profanity
Rob Van Dam:
Lets face it. Tonight should be a good night, its my first night on Smackdown and RVD should be all smiles. But Im not. You see because I know that those sons of bitches, Bill Alphonso and Sabu are still out there. I know their plotting their next move at my expense. Hell I knew Fonzie was low all along, but never in a million years did I think for one second that he would pull this kind of crap. We were bros, and much as I hate to say it now, at one point in time, I also shared a common bond with that son of a bitch Sabu.
Crowd Gives Heat for the mention of Sabu
Rob Van Dam:
But not anymore. Hell, as far as Im concerned when it comes to Sabu and Bill Alphonso, Im looking to play for blood. Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity of a lifetime in my hands, and THEY took it away from me, SABU took it away from me and I will NEVER forget that. Hell, Im still raking my mind trying to figure out what all this is about and I cant come up with anything. Who knows? Maybe Ill never know. The only thing I know for sure is regardless of whatever reason those guys had, on March 26th, 2006 a war was declared, Sabu started it and Im going to finish it.
Crowd Pops
Rob Van Dam:
And it doesnt matter whether Im on RAW or Smackdown, it doesnt matter if JR or Michael Cole sits down there at the announce table, all that matters is that we settle this and when the dust clears the last guy standing is R,V,D.
RVD drops the microphone and goes over to the camera man on the apron, speaking into the camera and mouthing Sabu, Alphonso, Im coming for you as his music starts to play and he plays to the crowd for a few moments before getting out of the ring and heading the ramp to the cheers of most in attendance.
Michael Cole:
I will never forget that site of Rob Van Dam being manhandled by his former partner Sabu at Wrestlemania, never in a million years did I think that this war would escalate over to Smackdown but due to the draft lottery and no confirmation of Sabu signing any kind of contract yet with RAW yet, it just may.
RVD is one pissed off individual and rightfully so. Hell we dont even know what the deal with Sabu is yet, as far as I know the guy isnt even under contract. All I know personally is that from battling both of these guys in the ring, they are two of the craziest guys in the business, and should they get it on at some point these Smackdown fans have NO idea what their in for.
Michael Cole:
Well we have yet to see Sabu since Wrestlemania and therefore can only assume by his actions that his target is RVD. Anyways ladies and gentlemen when we return its Hardcore Holly vs. JBL!!
Match # 2:
Singles Match
John Bradshaw Layfield vs. Hardcore Holly
Short match that starts out back and fourth with Holly getting in his fair share of stiff blows to JBL, who fights back seemingly with more intensity then usual, opting not to play the coward roll here tonight. Eventually Holly attempts to Irish Whip JBL into the ropes but Bradshaw counters and meets Holly with a big Clothesline From Hell on his way back, for the sure three count.
Winner By Pin Fall:
JBL celebrates the win, going to each turnbuckle and celebrating to the jeers of the fans. JBL then calls for the camera to get on the apron, with JBL mouthing into the camera that 2006 is his year and a HUGE impact will be made on Smackdown.
We immediately cut backstage to Paul Heymans office, where the New Smackdown GM is going through some paperwork when the door busts open and those five male cheerleaders from last week, The Spirit Squad, hop into his office, jumping around and blowing their horns with Heyman quickly trying to settle them down.
We said wed make an impact last week AND WE DID!! WE TOOK OUT THE DUDLEYS!!
One, Two, Three!!
Spirit Squad:
Paul Heyman:
Hey, whoa, calm down. Now Ive read up on you and let me see if I have this correct Nicky, Kenny, Mikey, Mitch, Johnny?
The Spirit Squad:
Thats right!!
Paul Heyman:
Well seeing as I received confirmation upon my appointment to the Smackdown General Manager position that each of you is in fact under contract to Smackdown, I guess theres not much to say but welcome.
Were taking this place by storm!! Lets get another Spirit Squad on three, two, one -
Paul Heyman:
Well, there is one other thing. While I can admire each of you attempting to make an impact upon debuting, you DID take out two of the toughest, most extreme individuals on Smackdown in the form of The Dudley Boys. Now knowing Buh Buh and D-Von like I do, I can guarantee theyll be looking for a bit of revenge and while I like your potential, I like ratings more so next week right here on Smackdown its going to be The Spirit Squad, making their debut, against The Dudley Boys.
Crowd Cheers
Paul Heyman:
And as far as which two of you wrestle, well Ill leave that up to you. Now if youll excuse me.
Paul Heyman goes back to sorting through papers as The Spirit Squads cheerful attitude is gone and they seem a bit worried, seeing as they face The Dudleys in their debut next week. As The Spirit Squad leave however, Chris Benoit enters, walking past all five of them although stopping to briefly stare down Kenny before entering the office.
Paul Heyman:
Ah, Chris, come in please.
Chris Benoit raises his eyebrow, looking far from impressed.
Paul Heyman:
Wow what a week has changed huh? I mean at this time last week you were brutally assaulting me in the hallway and now, well now Im your boss. Its just funny how stuff like that works out huh? But in all honesty I did call you hear to tell you something rather important regarding your rematch with Triple H tonight for the WWE Championship. You see Chris, your match on Monday was good, it brought in ratings but it was on Eric Bischoffs show, it gave Eric Bischoff ratings and frankly tonight I want things to be different, I want things to be innovative and thats why your match with Triple H tonight, will be contested under No Disqualifications.
Chris Benoit:
Hmph, What a surprise. I go out on RAW Monday and I fight the fight of my life against Triple H, beat him and now Paul Heyman wants to put me back in there with No Rules, No Disqualifications against The Game? You can make up all the crap you want about it being about trying to top Eric Bischoff but I know better, I know its not about you and Bischoff, its about you and me. The way I see it, I beat Triple H once before, and no matter the stipulation, I can do it again. No one is standing in my way, and whether you realize it or not, that includes you.
Paul Heyman:
Touching little shpeel, but lets be serious for a moment Chris, seeing as we are behind closed doors. I dont like you, you dont like me. The difference is that I can do something about it and you cant, and trust me, just between me and you, now you can either deal with my actions and ride it out or you can have a very tough time foreseeable future here on Smackdown that WILL end with that belt on someone elses waist.
Chris Benoit stares at Heyman intensely.
Paul Heyman:
And that, is a guarantee.
Chris Benoit looks set to explode but all of a sudden softens up. Benoit stares at Heyman for a moment before turning and leaving, with Heyman smiling contently.
** 5,4,3,2,1 BOOM ** hits and the crowd gives major heat as Chris Jericho makes his entrance into the arena, doing his usual posing before strutting to the ring. Jericho taunts a few fans on the way, slapping some hands in his signature, arrogant way before slowly walking up the steps and posing again before getting into the squared circle. Jericho soaks in the heat from the crowd for a moment before requesting a microphone.
Chris Jericho:
London, England Welcome to Smackdown is JERICHOOOO!!
Crowd gives heat
Chris Jericho:
Boo all you want, heck chant a few profanities while your at it because I quite frankly couldnt give a damn. You see Ive had wayyyy to great of a week to let any of you ignorant jackasses bring me down.
Crowd continues with the boos
Chris Jericho:
Heck, unless you were all living under a rock, well now that I think about we are in the UK so that may not be the best analogy ..
Crowd starts an Asshole chant
Chris Jericho:
Anyways as I was saying, unless you were all living under a rock, you all probably watched RAW last Monday right here in this very arena, and watched The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla go out with team Smackdown and gloriously defeat Team RAW. Thats right, not only is the King of The World a HUGE star on Smackdown, but he is now racking up wins on the competitions show, and Im not going to lie, it feels pretty damn good BABYYYYY.
Crowds heat stays strong, with Jericho continuing to ignore them
Chris Jericho:
But believe it or not, that doesnt even compare to what else happened that night, because thanks to the 2006 draft lottery, The Phenom The Undertaker is indeed, on Smackdown.
Crowd Cheers HUGE for Undertaker
Chris Jericho:
Your telling me. Think about it, Y2J and The Phenom on the same show. Chris Jericho and The Undertaker plying their trade under one roof. Thats HUGE, this is bigger then being the first Undisputed Champion, heck this is bigger then Fozzys upcoming album if you ask me. I mean FINALLY I can right the wrongs of Wrestlemania, and defeat The Deadman and thats exactly what I plan to do.
Crowd starts an Undertaker chant
Chris Jericho:
Heck Ill tell you what jerkees, Im feeling so good that even though we are in this cesspool of a city, the anti dental capitol of the world, and just an all around piece of crap, London, England Im going to go ahead and issue an open challenge to any superstar in the back, Main Event and Curtain Jerkers alike, that want a chance to get a rub off my greatness step on up ass clowns, you all have a chance to go one on one with King of The World.
Crowd builds on the Undertaker chant wanting to see The Deadman.
Chris Jericho:
Come on monkeys in the back, dig up someone for the Ayatollah of ..
** Generic Music ** hits as an unknown, possibly a new edition to the roster, makes his way down the ramp and gets in the ring to little reaction from the crowd as Jericho looks disgusted.
Chris Jericho:
This? This is all this company can dig up for a HUGE rock star like myself? Your telling me Shannon Moore and Funaki are too busy to get their ass beat by yours truly tonight? I know I said I said curtain jerker but Hell Ill tell you what ass clown, just for kicks why dont you tell the world your name so we can add another one to the who gives a crap column after I make short work of this jackass.
Chris Jericho cockishly hands the young man the microphone.
My name is Brent Albright.
Jericho quickly snatches the microphone back out of Brents hand.
Chris Jericho:
What is it? Brent Albaquerky? Whatever, like it really matters. But anyways Brent just in case youve been living under a rock for the past few years, youd know that my name is Chris Jericho and unfortunately for you, my great night is your worst.
Jericho quickly slaps Albright across the face with Brent holding his jaw in pain for a moment as Jericho smiles and cockishly turns his back on him to taunt the crowd. All of a sudden however, the innocent look on Albrights face changes to one of fury and anger. Albright quickly walks over to Jericho and spins him around before LEVELING HIM WITH A HARD RIGHT!! A referee quickly races down to the ring and we have an impromptu singles match.
Match # 3:
Singles Match
Brent Albright vs. Chris Jericho
Albright impresses early on, showing that he is definitely not some run of the mill jobber like most expected, even catching Jericho with several school boy attempts and near falls. Jericho however finally takes complete control after awhile, eventually nailing Albright with a stiff Enziguri and setting him up for the Lion Sault as
The crowd comes to their feet as Jericho stops dead in his tracks and stares around the arena for any sign of The Undertaker. After a few moments however, it is apparent that The Dead Man is just playing mind games and Jericho goes back to work on Albright, lifting him into an Airplane Spin however Albright shocks him with a Victory Roll, 1 .. 2 .. 3!!!!
Winner By Pin Fall:
Brent Albright
Jericho kicks out right after three but its too late!! The newcomer, Brent Albright has upset Chris Jericho here tonight with a little help from the powers of The Dead Man, The Undertaker.
Michael Cole:
WHOA!! Brent Albright, the Smackdown newcomer has just beaten Chris Jericho!! What an upset from the newcomer!! Jericho is in complete shock as is everyone in this arena tonight!!
What?! Who is this kid?!
Michael Cole:
I have no idea but as happy as I am for him, much of his win can be attributed to the mind games of The Undertaker, who has seemingly thrown more fuel on the fire so to speak in terms of his recent feud with Chris Jericho.
Oh you better believe it, Jericho was already seemingly a man possessed but now I have a feeling hes going to take this thing to a whole new level. Just look at him. Jericho is in a fit of rage here tonight, but that young kid Albright is on dream street with a win over the self proclaimed King of The World.
Chris Jericho throws a fit of rage in the ring, pulling out his hair as Brent Albright shakes hands with the crowd, who seem to except a bit more now that he has defeated a well known name.
Michael Cole:
Welcome back to Smackdown everyone, lets just take you back and show you what exactly happened during the commercial break ..
The videos rolls showing Chris Jericho still in the ring, following his loss to Brent Albright, with a microphone.
Chris Jericho:
(Out of breath) Is this how its going to be Dead Man?! Were going to play games?! UNDERTAKER!! I know you can hear me, I KNOW YOUR OUT THERE YOU SANCTIMONIOUS SON OF A BITCH!! Im going to find you. I dont care if its here in the UK, if its back in the USA, hell Ill stroll along the swamps of Cambodia if I have too. But I swear, I will find you, and when I do I will end you. This isnt over, this is just the beginning, the games have just begun.
Jericho drops the microphone as his music plays, and he paces around the ring, still upset with his loss to a rookie here tonight and more so at Undertaker getting the upper hand on him once again.
** If Ya SMELLLLLLL What The Rock, is cooking ** hits as we come back to the live feed. The people rise to their feet as The Great One makes his way to the ring, dressed in gym pants and his signature Brahma Bull shirt. The Rock makes his way to the ring and slaps hands with a few fans before walking up the steps and getting into the ring. He then proceeds to each turnbuckle before getting a microphone and waiting for the crowd to quiet down.
The Rock:
FINALLLLYYYY The Rock has come back, to London, England!!
Crowd Pops
The Rock:
Thats right, The Rock is in the UK baby!!

Crowd Pops
The Rock:

Rock smirks as the crowd laughs at the comment
The Rock:
Therefore The Rock wants to sing a duet. But not just any duet , The Rock wants to sing a duet with a special someone, a good friend of his, and his name is -
** GLASS SHATTERS ** and the crowd rises to their feet, absolutely ERUPTING in the process as Stone Cold Steve Austin makes his way out to the ring, all smiles. Austin does his signature strut down the ramp and quickly rolls into the squared circle, throwing up his arms as the crowd cheers before getting a microphone.
Stone Cold:
Rock, lets do this. (Starts to sing) I -
The Rock:
Whoa, whoa, WHOA!! Steve, The Rock isnt ready and he damn sure knows you arent either, were going to have to prepare a little first ..
Stone Cold:

The Rock:

Stone Cold:

The Rock stops and laughs, along with the crowd who begin duelling chants of Austin and Rocky chants throughout the arena.
The Rock:
(Getting serious)
Austin, next week you and I, one on one, The Rattlesnake vs. The Great One, Steve Austin vs. The Rock, The Final Chapter of your amazing career. Weve had our ups and downs, weve whooped each others asses all over the world but quite frankly, The Rock respects you, The Rock considers you a friend, The Rock wishes you the best, heck much like the people, The Rock will miss having you around and quite frankly it is MY honour to go out one more time and thrill each and everyone of them like only The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin can. So next week, in front of the millions and MILLIONS of The Rock and Stone Colds fans, lets go out and simply electrify.
Crowd Pops HUGE
Stone Cold:
Well I sure as hell can drink to that.
Stone Cold:
And as far as next week is concerned, you want to go out and steal the show like me and you have done time and time again?
Stone Cold:
You want to beat the hell out of each other one more time?
Stone Cold:
Well I guess theres only one thing left to say ..
Stone Cold:
Crowd Pops HUGE
Stone Cold:
Now lets drink some damn beer!!
Austin throws his microphone out of the ring as his music begins to play and he calls for several beers, tossing two of them to The Rock. Austin gets three for himself and goes to one of the corners, doing his signature beer routine with most of it missing his mouth and just getting everywhere, including the crowd. Austin then gets down and toasts The Rock who proceeds to down both of his beers surprisingly rather quickly.
Austin then calls for more beer and continues the beer bash, with the crowd staying on their feet as Austin continues to down several beers with no sign of slowing down. Meanwhile The Rock just watched on, laughing a little before leaving the ring, giving Austin the stage. The Rock heads up the stage and turns only to nod toward Austin, showing respect one week before they meet in Austins final retirement match. Meanwhile Austin continues to celebrate in the ring as we go to a commercial.
Video package plays, the same as last week concerning Kurt Angle. However, at the end, it shows a graphic, saying KURT ANGLE RETURNS - NEXT WEEK
Michael Cole:
Welcome back to Smackdown, what a celebration moments ago from The Texas Rattlesnake Stone Cold Steve Austin. I dont know about you partner but Im absolutely covered in beer, its everywhere. Look at this ..
Stop being such a pansy girl pants, that celebration was off the hook, definitely a beer bash for the ages and your out here crying about your twenty dollar suit smelling like Miller? Please. Its stuff like this that makes everyone question your sexuality.
Michael Cole:
Whatever. But anyways ladies and gentlemen if you havent marked it down on your calendar, now is the time to do so. Stone Cold Steve Austins final match is next week, LIVE from Dallas, Texas and I guarantee itll be a night to remember.
Austins on his way out, an amazing career behind him but hes got one more stop in front of his hometown crowd of Dallas next week, where he takes on The Rock and Im positive both these guys will put it all on the line, especially The Rattlesnake.
Michael Cole:
And thats not all. Next week, Kurt Angle returns to Smackdown, after taking the last two weeks to think about the defeat he suffered at WrestleMania to Bret Hart. Angle is back on Smackdown - NEXT WEEK!!!
** Haas of Pain ** hits and Charlie Haas makes his way out into the arena to a decent reaction from the crowd, however Haas has an extremely pissed off look on his face and completely ignores the fans as he makes his way to the ring.
Michael Cole:
Heres a guy that shocked me last Monday. I honestly thought Charlie Haas would be excited about moving to Smackdown and being able to test his skills in singles action but he completely lost it, throwing a ridiculous fit in the backstage area that even his former partner Shelton Benjamin couldnt control.
The guy went absolutely insane, destroying monitors and screaming profanities at everyone in site, I wonder how much money in damage he cost this company with his little tirade on Monday?
Match # 4:
Singles Match
Charlie Haas vs. Billy Kidman
Haas continues to shock everyone with his attitude as the minute the bell sounds, Kidman goes for a lock up only for Haas to catch him by surprise with a stiff boot to the face heard throughout the arena. For the next few moments its all Haas with Kidman never being able to mount a proper comeback, even at one being caught in the corner with Haas repeatedly kneeing him in the face, almost getting disqualified for his actions. The finish comes when Haas applies his signature Haas of Pain for the submission victory.
Winner by Submission:
Charlie Haas
Haas doesnt let go of the hold, keeping it locked tightly and forcing several officials from the back to run to the ring and attempt to reason with him to break the hold. Finally after awhile he does, and looks around the arena, raising his fist in the air however the fans that were somewhat behind him earlier have noticeably turned on him, with Haas receiving pretty big heat from the crowd. Haas spits on Kidman before leaving the ring and heading up the ramp, while officials tend to Kidman.
Backstage, Josh Mathews is standing by with Triple H.
Josh Mathews:
Triple H it is in just a few moments that you get another shot at Chris Benoits WWE Championship, how are you feeling especially in comparison to last Monday?
Triple H:
Josh, tonight I have a chance to go out and correct the mistakes, I get to go out and right all the wrongs of Monday Night. Its almost like an almighty force is looking down on me and granting that second chance that I so desperately crave, and tonight, were playing my game. This is No DQ, the match that many say made my career. Six years ago I destroyed Mick Foley in this type of match and signified myself as THE top guy in the process. Tonight, I do the same with Chris Benoit. Im going out there and staining the mat with Benoits blood, Im giving The Wolverine an as kicking long overdue and when its all said and done, Im taking back my WWE Championship. Now I know Chris Benoit and I know that no matter what the match hell bring it and hell bring it hard but tonight in MY match with MY rules, Ill definitely
Triple H lifts up his signature Sledgehammer
Triple H:
Bring it a lot harder.
Triple H taps his sledgehammer before walking off.
Michael Cole:
Well its safe to say that Triple H is confident, The Game is ready for a fight and it just so happens that its just about Main Event time here on Smackdown. Its Chris Benoit vs. Triple H, WWE Championship on the line, No Disqualifications, when we come back!!
Main Event:
WWE Championship:
No Disqualification Match
Chris Benoit © vs. Triple H
Both men make their usual entrances with the only difference being that Triple H brings his Sledgehammer with him to the ring and sets it down by the stairs before entering. After both entrances and introductions are made, the match officially gets underway. Things start off as a normal wrestling match with Benoit taking it to The Game with various take downs and such, eventually getting him in the corner and chopping him senseless. Triple H then desperately pushes Benoit off and hits him with a knee to the stomach as Benoit tries to come in and continue the chop fest. Triple H then slams his head on the turnbuckle once before taking him down with a stiff hard right. Triple H then begins to choke out Benoit on the ground with his knee.
Next The Game picks Benoit up and looks to turn this into less of a wrestling atmosphere and more of a fight one as he throws him to the outside, with Benoit smacking the guardrail and Triple H following him out. Triple H smashes Benoits head into the canvas for good measure before grabbing him and whipping him into the steel steps. Triple H then stops for a moment to pose for the fans, who give him an incredible amount of heat. The posing looks to be a big mistake on Triple Hs part however as he goes for a running knee on Benoit, who is sitting up against the stairs however The Wolverine moves at the last second and Triple H smashes into the steps himself. Triple H lies over the steel steps in pain as Benoit takes this time to regain his composure before getting to his feet and hooking The Games head, nailing a DANGEROUS DDT TO THE FLOOR!! Triple H sells it extremely well, with his legs being straight in the air and his head seemingly taking the entire bump as the crowd around them starts a small Holy Shit chant.
Benoit then gets up and stomps Triple H, who has seemingly been busted open, for good measure, showing a fierce side to The Wolverine as he follows that up by bending over and smacking Triple H across the face, screaming you want a fight?! before picking Triple H up to his feet slowly and taking him over to the announce table, where he clears everything off and throws Triple H on it before turning looking around the arena, soaking up the crowd before doing what hes about to do.
Benoit then gets back into the ring and climbs the turnbuckle facing the side where Triple H is, getting to the top and doing his cutthroat sign as the crowd cheers anticipating something high impact. Benoit then looks around one more time before lunging off with a FLYING ELBOW!! TRIPLE H ROLLS OFF THE TABLE!!!! BENOIT CRASHES THROUGH THE TABLE!!!! The arena erupts into holy shit chants as Benoit lies motionless with The Game still on all fours next to him, staring at him with shock.
The shock however soon turns to smiles as Triple H realizes he basically has this match in the bag and The WWE Championship is his for the taking. Triple H gets to his feet and stares down at Benoit, smiling through his crimson covered face and nudging the champion a bit with his foot before laughing and heading over to where the time keeper and Howard Finkle are seated, shooing off Fink and taking the chair hes seated in as the crowd boos, knowing what The Game is about to do as he folds up the chair. Triple H then walks back over to Benoit and picks him up to his knees, looking to crush him with the chair, however at the last second The Game stops and drops the chair, seemingly getting an idea as he picks up Benoit and drags his lifeless body over to the ring.
Triple H then tosses Benoit into the ring and goes back, picking up the chair and throwing it into the ring as well before getting in himself. Triple H then picks up Benoit again, who surprises The Game with a chop and knee to the stomach as the crowd absolutely erupts for Benoit showing life. The comeback is short lived however as Benoit comes off the ropes and catches him with a kick to the gut, Triple H then wastes no time setting the chair up in the middle of the ring and picking up Benoit, setting him up for a PEDIGREE. Triple H looks set to deliver the move when all of a sudden the crowd ERUPTS, with Triple H quickly letting go of Benoit as PAUL LONDON races down the ramp with The Game quickly trying to meet him as he jumps on the apron. London however grabs Triple Hs Sledgehammer resting on the steps and as he jumps up onto the apron, HE LEVELS THE GAME!!! Triple H stumbles back as Chris Benoit takes advantage with seemingly a third wind, taking The Game down with THE CRIPPLER CROSSFACE!! Triple H fights the move for a good fifteen seconds before TAPPING OUT!!
Winner By Submission and Still WWE Champion:
Chris Benoit @ 18:06
Chris Benoit lets go and quickly rises to his feet, with the referee handing him the title. His adrenaline seemingly wears off quickly however as he falls over, catching himself on the ropes. Meanwhile Paul London heads back up the ramp, smiling at having gotten some revenge on Triple H for taking him out a few weeks ago whilst The Game lies on his stomach, motionless in the ring.
Michael Cole:
Paul London has just cost Triple H the WWE Championship!! Chris Benoit for the second week in a row has defeated The Game!!
The Smackdown Golden Boy is back Cole. As much as I dig The Game, I think London got some well deserved revenge here tonight.
Michael Cole:
But it has to make you think, what are the repercussions for Londons actions?? Im sure everyone would agree that Triple H will not take this lying down and I believe that Paul London may have just signed off on a declaration of war.
Agreed, Paul London just bought himself a long-time enemy in the form of The Game, look at him though Cole, Triple H still isnt moving.
Michael Cole:
Triple H is still feeling the effects of a devastating Crippler Crossface courtesy of that man, The WWE Champion, Chris Benoit. Ladies and Gentlemen we thank you for joining us as Smackdown invaded The UK, we will see you next week as we head to Dallas for the final match of Stone Cold Steve Austins career, thank you all once again, goodnight!!
One final shot of Chris Benoit on the ramp, holding the WWE Championship in the air.

Re: Being The Booker
Smackdown-4/6 Review:
Nice way to open the show, with Heyman right now seems to be playing the role so far as of a tweener. Should be interesting. Wow big match to start the show. This was a decent match between Hardy and Batista. And while Hardy retains via countout, I'm assuming this feud with these two aren't over just yet. Like I said last week, JBL moving up to the Main Event scene is perfect. No complaints here. As far as RVD's promo, I'm surprised it went that much of a length. Anyway, looking forward to the feud with Sabu w/Alfonso v. RVD. JBL wins a squash match over Holly, while the Spirit Squad makes an appearance in Heyman's office. I can tell that you're sticking with Kenny being the main one of the group. Benoit and Heyman's promo did what it had to do, so for that, I have little left to say about it. I'm impressed, nice way to continue the feud with Jericho and Taker. You bring in Brent Albright, who gets the upset win over Jericho, and Jericho's remarks after the match, continues to build this rivarly up just even better. This was a wonderful promo bro. Classic in every way, and could quite possibly be a contender for Funniest Promo of the Month. The way you're using Hass now reminds me a bit of how Booker T was used when he first came over to Smackdown in I believe 2004. As for the Main Event, what a match! Great action and great ring pyschology! London costing Hunter the match was great and it looks like we have a good feud between the two of them coming up! Once again a great show, and as much as I may not like to say it (j/k) this thread is still in my opinion, the thread to beat! Looking forward to next week's show. 1!

Re: Being The Booker
Smackdown Review
The opening promo with the new GM Paul Heyman was pretty damn good. He was certainly in character and I really liked the way you used the crowd to keep us guessing at which side he was going t fall on: would it be that of his old path, the heels? Or would he choose the light and turn face for once? Of course it resulted in a clear heel character, which I totally agree with, as Heyman is far more effective in this mould. I can see him proving an astronomical hindrance to Chris Benoit's WWE title reign, though I do not see Benoit dropping the belt to Triple H tonight. Batista and Hardy on the other hand...
Good match to open up with. You continued Matt Hardy's excellent run with the United States Championship, but did it in a way that did not diminish the unquestionable power of Batista. The Animal still came across as very strong, and it seemed that Hardy was only able to pull off a victory via count out, out of sheer desperation on his part. I'm not sure whether or not this will result in a feud between the two, as you will probably now look to push Batista further up the card in his singles career.
A superb JBL interview here. I've been enjoying the slow build up of this character into bordering Main Event status. Now it seems as though he has ended his quest for the United States Championship and his rivalry with Matt Hardy and is turning attention to the WWE Championship. So maybe Hardy will feud with Batista after all? JBL is one of the most entertaining men ever and you've captured that perfectly. His final words said it all.
The RVD and Bill Alphonso feud has been a surprise treat of late to this BTB. Unexpected and spectacular, it arrived out of the blue and has been proving an intriguing concept. RVD doesn't normally voice his concerns so energetically as he did here, but then again he is never usually this furious as someone, especially when that someone is his former best friend. I'll be interested to see where this goes next.
Great victory for JBL here to establish in clear ascension to the Upper Card by easily squashing a veteran mid carder like Hardcore Holly. I am very excited by JBL's future in this BTB now.
I really enjoyed the next segment in Paul Heyman's office. Initially I found the Spirit Squad very amusing. It was an excellent and accuarate representation of them, which certainly caused me to smile. The next entrant was Chris Benoit, and the WWE Champion was intense as ever, really hyping a simmering rivalry between himself and Heyman. It's not going to be along the lines of McMahon/Austin, but I just cannot see Heyman being anything other than your every day 'bad guy boss' in this tantalising scenario.
Now we come to my favourite WWE Superstar of all time, Chris Jericho. Of course he was in character, as the past stuff I have read from Y2J in this BTB have been spot on. Great way to really hype his importance without giving him a title shot, is having him feud with The Undertaker. Once again, his insults towards London were hilarious. I'm from the North of England, so that doesn't include me, Chris, right? Anyway, I have absolutely no idea who Brent Albright is, so you will have to excuse my ignorance. It wasn't as bad as I first thought having him defaet Jericho, as it just means that Y2J's feud with the Dead Man has kicked up a notch.
Edit: Oh, it's Gunner Scott! Silly me
Not really sure what this Rock and Austin segment was all about. I might have unfortunately missed something in your thread, so you will have to excuse me if I cannot understand why two of the greatest rivals in WWE history were singing love songs to one another. I just didn't like how it felt I'm afraid, but I'm excited by the prospect of an Austin/Rock match next week.
I am very glad that Charlie Haas is seemingly going to be receiving a singles push in this BTB. He deserves it enormously and you started it off well by having him defeat an impressive opponent in Billy Kidman. His heelish actions after really gave some weight to his new character. One possibility is a feud with Matt Hardy over the United States Championship.
Nice intense promo cut by Triple H next. He has come across really well as a heel of late, really quite sinister in fact. However, it might be No Disqualifications tonight and Triple H might have "The Great Equaliser", but there is just no one I can see Benoit dropping the belt this soon into his deserved reign.
Another brilliant Main Event title match between Triple H and Benoit here. I think this one actually tops the one on the Draft Lottery show. Triple H used the No Disqualification rule to his advantage well, but Paul London showed up and cost him dearly. I will be checking back through your thread to see where this rivalry came from, because I had no idea that Triple H and London were feuding. I apologise for that but salute you for the MOTN.
Overall another spectacular installment of this BTB. The feuds all moved along smoothly and new ones were glimpsed on the horizon. Spelling and grammar was tip top, as I saw very few errors to note.
9.5 Out Of 10 - Magnificent!
