SmackDown! Results/Spoilers 8/8/06 (Pre-Taped)

Great Khali & Daivari come out to open the night. Daivari talks about how Taker doesn't deserve the be in the same ring as Khali and how they do not accept Taker's Last Man Standing match for Summer Slam. This brings out Taker who disposes of Daivari and gives Khali a chokeslam.

Funaki pinned Chuck Palumbo with a rollup.

Gregory Helms pinned Tatanka. Tatanka had his foot under the bottom rope during the pin. He explained this to the ref and it seemed as if they were making it an important aspect of the finish. Just another "rule" that they acknowledge when they want to I guess.

Daivari was shown in Teddy Long's office complaining about the Undertaker putting his hands on him. Long said Khali would not have to face the Undertaker at Summer Slam but he would face him next week on Smackdown in a Last Man Standing Match. Daivari was upset but not as upset as I was to know we would have yet another match between these two.

Ashley was shown back stage talking to Luke Perry, who is the celebrity judge for tonight's Diva Search Talent Contest. Kristal Marshall interrupts and her and Ashley exchange hateful words and scowls.

Idol Stevens & KC James w/ Michelle McCool defeated Paul London & Brian Kendrick in a non-title match. The thing that stood out in this match was McCool and her likeness to Stacy Keibler. She even had on a very short skirt and made her entrance like Stacy with the slow bend over the middle rope, not that I'm complaining.

The Miz came out followed by the four hottest wastes of time I've ever seen. He introduced actor, Luke Perry, to serve as a special celebrity judge for the Diva Talent Contest. Each contestant had 1 minute to show off her talent. Jen was up first. Her talent was that she could kick butt like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. There was a guy in the ring with pads and sparring gear on. Jen threw a few kicks at him, landed one in the groin then proceeded to pour two beers all over her breasts. That my friends is talent! The crowd booed her pretty bad. Layla was next. She said she would lay the law down. She was dressed like a cop. She did a dance number and ripped off her shirt. She did the splits at several different angles and seemed to be having fun. She bumped into Jen who got in her face and a catfight was on! The crowd enjoyed that. Milena was next. She was going to do a martial arts demonstration. She said she was too hot and promptly removed her karate uniform before doing an over the shoulder thrown on the sparring partner. Then she tried to say something but I couldn't hear her for all the boos. J.T. was last. She had written a poem. I couldn't hear most of it for the boos. She seemed to be ripping on the other 3 girls a little bit. Jen got in her face and J.T. said, "You wanna talk s***" Yeah, that will have to have some editing work there. Then Luke Perry, who obviously knew none of the four girls names, asked the crowd to pick a winner by cheers. Layla is the only one that got any cheers so she was declared the winner. I cannot begin to describe how bad this segment was. They will have to sweeten the crowd noise or it will look even worse on TV.

Rey Mysterio vs. Mr. Kennedy....Kennedy by DQ when Chavo ran in. Rey Rey and Chavo brawled in the aisle and Vicki Guerrero came out to try and stop them and ended up getting knocked down during the fight. Rey kept apologizing but she pushed him away.

Vignette was shown stating that the Boogeyman is coming back! Finally, some quality 5 star matches on Smackdown again.

Vito w/ dress and thong beat Sylvan by submission with a dress over the head armbar. I can't even believe I just typed that. One funny spot saw Sylvan go for the sunset flip only to look up Vito's dress and scream and crawl to the corner.

Teddy Long was shown in his office talking to Montel Vontavious Porter, (or something like that, MVP get it?). He said that his agent would holla at Teddy tomorrow at 4 p.m. and they could get the MVP signed.

Sylvester Turkay, w/ Elijah Burke, squashed a nameless enhancement talent.

Trailer for The Marine was shown. It doesn't look terrible but it did have 5 major explosions in one 3 minute trailer. That has to be against some movie code or unwritten rule or something.

King Booker and Queen Sharmell made their way down to ringside to join the commentary team.

Batista & Lashley beat Regal & Finlay. Regal and Finlay miscommunicated which led to a collision that left Finlay dazed. The big men hit dual spears and Batista gave Fit a spinebuster for the 3 count. Regal & Finlay also argued backstage on the way to the ring. Hopefully we will see a feud between the two. Finlay's little buddy made an appearance. Finlay and Lashley were outside the ring and Lashley was down. Finlay pulled out his leprechaun from under the ring and slammed him onto Lashley.

Dark Match Main Event: King Booker w/ Sharmell -vs- Batista for the World Heavyweight Title. Slow easy-going match between the two until Sharmell low-blowed Batista and got the King DQ'd. Booker is easily the most entertaining part of SD right now.
