hoping mat forgives me for doing this one at least. hope mat's having a great new year's eve. i'm only doing this once so mat can rest from the partying. i really wasn't doing anything tonight so here it goes. besides the show i'll be posting some of the behind the scenes stuff.

tonight's show was ok, could have been better.

not aired and before the show dark matches and taping of heat.....

Nick Nemeth vs. Brian Kendrick. Kendrick got the win in a pretty dull match.

Super Crazy vs. Snitsky. Snitsky wins in a pretty quick match.

Davis Owens vs DH Smith. DH got the win and was surprisingly over with the crowd.

Drew McEntyre vs. Charlie Haas. Drew gets the win in a match that saw Charlie wear a luchador mask. It seems Haas has started a new gimmick with the mask wearing. the crowd was said to be over on the whole mask thing.

Hardcore Holly vs Trevor Murdoch. Holly gets the win and a nice pop.

****ok now the main show****

orton is already in the ring and is going on and on, on how he'll be the champion for the entire year. i'll enter 2008 as the champion and i'll still be the champion when 2008 is over. something like that. jeff hardy comes out and stands face to face with orton. orton tries to give hardy an rko but hardy switches it around and gave orton the twist of fate.

it's announced that next week its raw roulette all over again. gimmick matches galore.

matt hardy was backstage supporting jeff. matt asked jeff that if he won the title at the rumble if he could get a title match with jeff. jeff agreed to it and they both walked away.

HBK vs Kennedy. this was an ok match, nothing really exciting but ok. but very surprising to see kennedy get a clean win over HBK. i could have sworn i saw kennedy mouth "thank you" to HBK. although it could have also been " i beat you".

backstage HHH is told by vince and regal that if he loses his match to flair that he is out of the royal rumble. we also see BD Johnson, ron simmons and jillian hall wishing everyone a happy new year with jillian singing badly and johnson dancing. of course we all know what simmons role at the end of that clip is.

vince tells regal to wrestle against hornswaggle later on in the night.

umaga defeats jim duggan in a royal rumble qualifying match. not even worth watching by the way.

JBL make his debute on raw. he comes out in his limo and enters the ring. i couldn't believe how many pyros they must have used on someone i don't think is really worth it. i have never seen JBL as anything special. but man did they go overboard on the pyros. he's in the ring and raises his arms and "pow", pyros go off at the entrance and above. he walks to another part of the ring, raises his arms and once more more pyros. he does it another time to more pyros. he starts to rant on and on until Y2J's music comes on Y2J comes running to the ring and attacks JBL. they end up struggling with each other ringside and security comes and pulls them apart. before the commercial comes up its shown JBL has been cut across the top of his nose.

gotta go see cloverfield.

beth phoenix vs mickie james vs melina. allright match. nothing great. some team ups between mickie and melina to take out beth out of the ring so they could go at it on their own. of course beth comes in and wins the match anyway.

regal vs hornswaggle match ends with no one winning. just filler material. vince wanted regal to use the bare knuckles on hornswaggle but regal couldn't bring himself to use them. vince tells regal he was testing him and tells him to leave the ring. not really sure what the whole testing thing was all about. something about regal not having it in him anymore. maybe he's gone soft? hmm.

jeff hardy vs santino with maria and carlito on the side. seems carlito and santino are teaming up soon. not sure why else carlito was there at ringside. the match doesn't really go on long cuz orton shows up on the titantron beating up matt hardy in the back. he takes out matt the same way he took out cena's dad. remember that? jeff leaves the ring and goes to attend to his brother. i'm guessing santino won by countout. never was really shown.

flair's family was at ringside.
HHH vs flair. HHH was booed heavily throughout the match. after all it was flair country. it was a pretty good match but sometimes i was thinking "how in the world does HHH just come running into a ring and lays out umaga so quickly but yet he's taking forever with flair". flair got HHH in the figure 4 but it didn't work. HHH eventually pedigrees flair. but before HHH could pin flair, regal comes in and pulls flair out and hits him in the head with the bareknuckles. flair won by DQ. the show ended with HHH holding flair up and, hugging him, sort of. with HHH losing the match he won't be in the royal rumble this year.

what wasn't shown......

after the match with HHH and flair, BD Johnson came out and danced on the announcers table. JR pushed BD off and the king poured champagne on him while he was down.

a dark match was had after the show...
jeff hardy and chris jericho vs orton and JBL. hardy and jericho win the match. why didn't they show this too? those dark matches always seem to be better than the stuff shown on tv.

stuff

the new announcer line up for smackdown is..........
michael coleman and the coach.
