JBL is out to start the show after the recap of him screwing over Rey Mysterio last week. Being in San Diego this week, he has a little bit more heat than normal. JBL says that tonight Mysterio has to face Great Khali. Then JBL gets into his normal offensive promo. As he continues to rant, Mysterio sneaks in and attacks him.
Cruiserweight Championship #1 Contender Triple Threat Match
Kid Kash vs. Nunzio vs. Super Crazy
Kash attacks Nunzio before Crazy even makes it to the ring. Gregory Helms is our guest announcer. Kash hits a nice moonsault on Nunzio and then Crazy comes off the top rope to break up the pin attempt. Crazy was really good. Crazy hits a moonsault on Kash and Nunzio this time breaks it up this time. Nunzio gets Crazy up on his shoulders and Kash goes off the top rope. Crazy ducks under and rolls up Nunzio to get the pinfall. That was a clever finish to an enjoyable, but short match.
Match Rating: **1/2
They show Kurt Angle walking into the arena. Angle then goes to Teddy Long and says he wants Mark Henry tonight. Teddy tells him that he can't because he hasn't been cleared to wrestle. Teddy says that he can get him a match at Judgment Day when he will be medically cleared.
Gymini vs. Mike Wellington & Joey Ryan
Yes, it's that Joey Ryan. Gymini are without Simon Dean here. This is by far the worst I have seen the twins look. They do lots of quick tags and double teams. They hit their finisher and that's all. This was pretty poor overall.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Kurt Angle is now being shown walking out of the arena.
Booker T is out with Sharmell and says that he's very disappointed that Kurt Angle was injured by Mark Henry. He says that he refuses to win by forfeit, so he's giving Angle one last chance. He counts to 10 and they celebrate.
King Of The Ring Semifinal Match
Finlay vs. Bobby Lashley
Things start off slowly with some rest holds from Finlay. Booker and Sharmell are out on the stage to check out the match. Finally Lashley makes his comeback, but when he goes for the Spear, Finlay kicked him in the face. Finlay sneaks in a chair shot behind the referee's back, but Lashley no sells it and hits him with a Spear for the victory. This match was really boring and I like Finlay a lot. I barely even typed anything because nothing happened almost the entre match.
Match Rating: *
After the match, Lashley tells Booker T to get out of his chair and if he doesn't, he will throw him out. I was expecting to like all of this, but instead it just wasn't entertaining.
MNM is here to talk about how they gave London and Kendrick 3 Snapshots. Out comes Jillian Hall to interrupt Melina. Jillian comes down to the ring to confront her, but then London and Kendrick down to attack him. They then all rip off MNM's pants and expose their shiny blue underwear and of course Melina's.
Mark Henry vs. Paul Burchill
Burchill already jobbing again here. Henry is dominant here, as you would expect. Henry grabs the mic in the middle of the match to tell us that Kurt Angle is going to get the same thing at Judgment Day. He hits the World's Strongest Slam and that is all.
Match Rating: 1/2*
We get another Tatanka vignette and I still can't believe they thought they could reboot Tatanka in 2006.
Nunzio and Vito are backstage. Vito leaves and Orlando Jordan comes in to tell Nunzio that he saw him at a club in drag. Nunzio doesn't believe him and here begins another terrible gimmick.
They run down the Judgment Day card while CM Punk's future music hits. JBL is here to join the announce team.
Rey Mysterio vs. Great Khali
Khali tosses Rey out of the ring multiple times. JBL eventually comes over and hits a right hand on him and throws him in the ring. He picks him up by the neck and then chucks him down and pins him? Could they have booked Rey any worse than this? In his hometown and as a champion, he loses to Great Khali in about 3 minutes.
Match Rating: 1/4*
JBL gets in Rey's face after to tell him that his family is all watching. He attacks him and stands tall as the show goes off the air.
Outside the opening match, this show was really bad. It didn't do anything to make me want to watch Judgment Day, which is a shame since I remember it being a solid show. This one can be skipped for sure.
