Dark Match:

Gunner Scott over Simon Dean.

Velocity:

1.) Tatanka over Nunzio.
2.) Orlando Jordan over somebody.
3.) Vito over Chris Guy/Colt Cabana.
4.) Jamie Noble & Kid Kash over Funaki & Scotty 2 Hotty.

Smackdown:

1.) Brian Kendrick (w/Paul London) over Johnny Nitro (w/Joey Mercury, Melina).

2.) Paul Burchill over some big black guy . William Regal was at ringside dressed as a buxom wench.

3.) Matt Hardy over Road Warrior Animal in a very quick and boring match. it may be was a king of the ring qualify match.

4.) JBL over Chris Benoit in a steel cage match. JBL won.

Dalip Singh has been renamed The Great Khali. He and Daivari cut a promo in the ring.

5.) Gymini (w/Simon Dean) over the Mexicools.

6.) Kurt Angle over Randy Orton. He made Orton tap out to the ankle lock. After the match, he held onto the anklelock for approximately forever, and broke Orton's ankle.

So then Orton hobbled to the back or whatever and Angle came back out. He said he accomplished one goal in breaking Orton's ankle, but he still wanted to accomplish his other goal - winning the title back. He demanded the triple threat cage match still take place. Teddy Long ruled that Mark Henry would take Orton's place. Mysterio pinned Angle in a quick 7 minute dark match that was not very good.

I don't get why they talk about Orton's suspension on WWE.com but then give him a fake injury to put him out.

Thank you for the post, Fallen.

Sounds like the Hogan and Angle match of years past, otherwise known as, "The stinkin' ankle lock that would never end." That move doesn't need to be sold like that, especially if they wanted Angle to go all S2H on him. Oh well...

All of this suspension business either reeks of BS, or worse, a very lame creative department. It looks like Orton just needed some time off to recoup an injury(not one received on air, necessarily); why they've done all of this stupid extension and retraction concerning it is anyone's guess.

WWE have really been tryin new ways of story telling.. i wonder if there are ppl out there buyin this Orton suspension drama?

[Pain]

BTW,looks like JBL is getting a big push for the belt.

just read this......what you'll think???

The PWTorch Newsletter reports that Randy Orton’s 60 day suspension is actually an indefinite suspension. There are reports that he simply may not be brought back.

To keep him away from TNA, they may keep him under contract until his deal is over, while paying him the smallest amount of money possible. Orton would just have to stay at home collecting checks as he wouldn't be able to work anywhere else.

There are some in the company who believe that he would benefit from counseling.

[onebigeric]

What did he do, theoretically? Torture cats in front of Vince? Did they find a body in his trunk? Is he listening to K.D.Lang? Is this a backlash from his not wanting to play his "Eddie's in hell" angle? Company justifying cutting off someone who didn't want to go with a stupid angle? Or is he just an immature kid; his AWOL from the Marines cropping up again?

I'm giving up on this garbage. When he dissapears from all WWE programming, then we'll know something's actually happening here. It just doesn't make sense for them to so completely cut off a huge investment of the company, but hey, the Boogeyman exists(and picked up a hollow win on BookerT at freakin WM) so the foundation of stupid decisions is definitely there.

The suspension is real.
But to take out the heat from Orton they are faking this injury so they can go on with a storyline between Orton and Angle.
Orton's backstage habbits are wrong and this kind of punishment ( suspension ) and a loss in a match are normal.
Can we remember Daniel Puder in the Royal Rumble where he got tested out and punished by some wrestlers due to his backstage habbits?
( Big Show and Benoit gave him some big chops )
It's almost the same with Bob Holly and Renee Dupree.
Renee did some stupid things ( speeding in Holly's rental car and after a ticket he didn't told Holly and Holly got a squash match on SD were he punched Dupree a black eye )
Orton's misbehaviour is crap and if the WWE wasn't good for him he was allready gone.
Orton made a couple mistake's earlier in his career ( crapping in a gymbag backstage, messing around with the diva's and with girlie fan's )
