Tazz:Welcome to Smackdown everybody.Tonight is going to be one hell of a night of action as all the titles for the Smackdown brand will be decided tonight.First up we have a 4 Corner Tag team elimination match for the WWE Tag Team Titles.

The Basham Brothers vs The Dudley Boyz vs RVD and Rey Misterio and Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree

Early on as RVD and Danny are in the ring Jindrak and Reigns come to ringside.None of the teams are showing any signs of teamwork except RVD and Mysterio.The early stages of the match the only teams that have been involved are Mysterio and RVD and the Bashams.Luther Reigns hits Mysterio with the chair and Danny Basham hits the Brain Damage on Misterio immediately after but only gets a 2 count.Suzuki and Dupree are eliminated first by the Dudley Boyz after London distracted Suzuki and Cena hit the F-U on Dupree.Then Misterio is pinned after another Brain Damage by Danny.This left the 2 brother teams.The Bashams get the win afteer Dough hits Bubba with a leg lariat.

The new tag team champions are The Basham Brothers.

After the match Shaniqua is left in the ring and the Dudleys 3D her and get out of harms way before The Bashams get back in the ring.

In the back Billy Kidman and Chavo are shown walking to the ring on separate cameras.

Billy Kidman vs Chavo Guerrero Jr

This match is pretty even early on.Both wrestlers went for the pinfall early and often.Chavo Guerrero thought he had the win after a tornado ddt but he got distracted by the ref and Kidman chop blocked him and went up top with the shooting star for the win.After the match Chavo got in an argument with the ref about an unfair call.

The Winner is Billy Kidman

Paul London vs Shannon Moore

In a match which Shannon Moore was the underdogm even though he had more experience, Moore took it to London.London however got the quick win after connecting with 450 splash.So London will face Kidman for the Cruiserweight Title.

The Winner is Paul London

Paul London vs Billy Kidman for the Cruiserweight Title

Kidman was obviously the more tired of the two men.Moore took more out of London then we had assumed as in just over a minute in Kidman hit the Shooting Star Press for the win even though London's foot was on the rope Robinson let it stand.

Bubba Ray Dudley seems to be THE MAN as far as recently posted circuits on here.  Although, he didn't come out of this Rumble as the champion.

I like Heidenreich.  I've been using him in some of my circuits I don't post.  I think he fits the monster big man role perfectly.  He just needs to be booked right.  I think he's a credible champion.

Also, Mark Jindrak.  I like the gimmick, I like the music, I like the fact he's OUR United States Champion.

But I can also tell this is unbooked so I'm wondering if you're really happy with your champions or not?

I probably would've ignored recent WWE storylines and teamed Kidman and London again.  They broke those two up way too soon.  Breaking up tag teams is the LAST thing the WWE should have been doing at the time.  (They even had the matching outfits and everything.)

Bubba actually seems to do incredibly well in battle royal matches. He won my WWE World Heavyweight Title and came very close in yours. I don't know if I agree with the credibility of your champions thought. The Bashams are solid but unspectacular, Jindrak is decent and could be booked into an extremely good US Champ, But Heidenreich needs major work before he is even ready for contention. But then again my opinion might mean didlysquat since Bubba is my champ. Good luck with your circuit.

Surprised by Heidenreich as the champion.  I don't see him in real life as championship material (not world champion anyway) but he seems like someone that, given more training and improved work & mic skills, could become a legit champ down the line.  Curious to see how you handle him with the belt.

Jindrak isn't someone I would have thought of as holding the US belt, though now that he has it, it doesn't seem like a bad place for it to be.

I like the Bashams with the belts, little sad that Kidman went over London.  I definently prefer Paul over Billy.

After this 1 card Kidman is over like ape shit.Kidman has a heat of 8 after 1 card.As for Hugerockstar I dont think that you will see any of my champs be Samoa Joe reigns (not luther) but all that matters is if a champ is credible (not justin) can get good heat and can get the next champ over and with the right opponent I think that can happen.What did you think about Funaki making it to final 5 after having wrestled a 10 man battle royal? And what about the showing by Doug Basham lasting 1 hour and 4 seconds after winning a 27 minute grueling tag 4 way?
HugeRockStar760Posted on 01/08/05 at 07:42:56

Funaki is "Smackdown's numbah one wrestla", that's why he lasted so long after already being in another battle royal.
