WWE SmackDown! Results – March 10, 2005



Recap by: Nick Marsico

WWE SmackDown! comes to you taped from Roanoke, VA. It is Thursday, March 10, 2005 at the Roanoke Civic Center.

Tonight, JBL and Orlando Jordan take on the Tag Team Champions Rey Mysterio and Eddy Guerrero, and the Cabinet is out to begin the show in full force with extra security. They are out to congratulate the new US Champion, the man who defeated John Cena single-handedly, by himself, Orlando Jordan. Orlando grew up poor and in the inner city, and he knew he could be like John Cena and the fans, but he wanted something better, so he turned his back on his family and his hometown, and he joined up with greatness to be where he is today. JBL calls Cena’s US Title a “bling-bling sideshow” and believes it should be destroyed. He asks the Bashams to get the trashcan and the stairs, and JBL puts the belt in the trash, pulls a couple switches, and there’s an explosion inside the trashcan, and there goes the spinner. JBL then gives OJ the new old US Title Belt, and the two champions climb the stairs and hold their titles high.

Coming up, Heidenreich and Booker T have a No Disqualification match.

No Disqualifications



Booker T vs. Heidenreich

Heidenreich takes Booker down in the corner with a flurry of punches and dominates him for the first full minute of the match. Irish whip takes Booker to the other corner and he gets an elbow on a charging Heidenreich and takes over with some chops. A knee turns the tides and a side slam gets 2 for Heidenreich. He chokes Booker over the middle rope and unloads on him with a few punches on his downed opponent. Booker comes back and they trade punches, and he hits a chop followed by a kick to the balls to stop Heidenreich in his tracks. Booker drapes him over the apron and punches him across the throat a pair of times, but Heidenreich takes control and attempts to connect with a chair shot, but Booker blocks only to be whipped into the ring post. Heidenreich clotheslines him into the crowd and gets a pair of crossfaces. Back in the ring he gets two off his offense on the outside. Irish whip and Booker comes off the ropes with a forearm, then gets a clothesline and reverses another Irish whip try with a spinebuster. Heidenreich blocks a charge by Booker with a big boot and a clothesline that turns Booker inside out gets only a 2 count before a kick out. Heidenreich goes out to get a steel chair, but he takes too much time and Booker gets the Scissors Kick into the chair and follows up with a thrust kick to take the big man down. He coils up and whacks Heidenreich dead on with the chair to get the win.

Booker T def. Heidenreich via Pinfall – 7:21

On Monday, Randy Orton challenged the Undertaker to a match at WrestleMania, claiming he would defeat the Deadman.

Backstage, Theodore Long is on the phone, but has to go when Carlito makes his way into the GM’s office. Long sends CCC out to find the Undertaker for his answer to Orton’s challenge.

Eddy and Rey are in back with their gold, and Chavo interrupts their happiness to wish his Uncle and Rey good luck in their match. He says that if the Tag Champs lost tonight, Chavito would be the only Guerrero with gold, and nobody’s grandma would want that to happen.

Josh is still waiting for Cena.

Carlito is wandering around in a darkly lit area in the bowels of the Roanoke Civic Center and screams like a girl when a maintenance worker turns on some lights.

Luther Reigns vs. Mark Jindrak

Jindrak attacks Reigns from behind before the match begins, but they finally bring it to the ring. Reigns gets a big back body drop and plasters Jindrak with a three shot of crossfaces and works in an armbar. Jindrak gets out and catches Reigns with a big clothesline coming off the ropes. He gets an elbow, clothesline and dropkick to take Reigns down and follows with a crossbody block into the corner and climbs the top rope to get another for 2. He finishes Reigns off clean with a big haymaker with the left hand.

Cena has arrived, and he has a pipe in hand. He has some business to take care of in the ring.

=COMMERCIAL=

Cena has made his way to the ring, and he is pissed. He and JBL have something in common – they both like to break things. JBL likes to break titles, Cena likes to break faces. He calls the entire Cabinet out to no answer. One more time and no answer, and a third try brings out General Manager Theodore R. Long. He offers Cena a rematch for the US Title tonight, but the former champ does not want that, he just wants to kick some ass. Long doesn’t want Cena compromising his WrestleMania main event, and since he has a job to do, he can’t allow Cena to attack the Cabinet. And if the GM ain’t a part of the solution, he’s part of the problem, and since he’s part of the problem, he gets an FU for his trouble.

=COMMERCIAL=

Moments ago, Cena FU’ed the GM. Over the break, John Cena was ejected from the building.

There is a ladder in the ring with Angle’s Gold Medal hanging above it. In 1994, Angle was training for the Olympics while Shawn Michaels has a Ladder match at WrestleMania 10. He shows some clips and calls out his Hometown Hero opponent for a ladder match.

Kurt Angle Invitational



Ladder Match



Kurt Angle vs. Mike Haywood

Angle slaps Haywood before he can finish the word Virginia and chokes him in the corner. He snaps off a belly-to-belly suplex and gets a crossface before some mounted punches and the Angle Slam. Kurt begins to climb the ladder, but he comes back down and puts on the Ankle Lock, causing Haywood to tap out fervently. Angle grabs a microphone, climbs the ladder and grabs his Gold Medal.

Kurt Angle def. Mike Haywood – 2:07

In 1989, Shawn Michaels made his WrestleMania debut at the fifth rendition of the show as a part of the Rockers. Kurt Angle has arranged a match against Marty Janetty for next week on SmackDown!, and he says that Marty may be able to teach Michaels something: how to tap out to Kurt Angle.

Later tonight Orlando Jordan and JBL challenge Eddy Guerrero and Rey Mysterio for the Tag Team Championship.

Undertaker is Dirty Harry in the latest WrestleMania spoof.

Christy Hemme’s Playboy cover is on newsstands tomorrow.

Referee Brian Hebner throws the Secretaries of Defense out from ringside.

Coming back, JBL has Mysterio up high in a stalling vertical suplex which gets a 2 count when he drops Rey down. A fall away slam takes Rey out of the ring allowing Orlando to take advantage and drive Rey’s back into the apron. That gets a 2 count back in the ring. JBL whips Rey into the corner hard and kicks him while he’s down and follows up with another hard whip to the opposite corner. Bearhug by the WWE Champion and Rey battles out, but JBL grabs his leg and makes the tag to Jordan, who comes in with an elbow drop for 2. Rey battles from his back with some kicks to OJ’s legs, but an Irish whip leads to another bearhug on Mysterio. He boxes the ears to get out, and Rey holds onto the ropes after an Irish whip and gets a drop toehold on Jordan onto the ropes. Guerrero tries to interfere but gets caught by the ref, so JBL and OJ cheat instead. JBL gets the tag back into the match and sets Rey on the top turnbuckle, but it backfires as Mysterio counters with a Tornado DDT and makes the tag. Eddy punches JBL down and gets a pair of clotheslines on Jordan. A dropkick takes JBL out of the ring and Rey sets up for the 619, but JBL has a chair, which he uses to block the 619 for the disqualification.
