WWE Smackdown for October 7th, 2004. Taped from Boston, Massachusetts
Report by Brad Jennette, EXCLUSIVELY for www.insidepulse.com

As many of you may or may not know, I was directly hit by Hurricane Ivan three weeks ago. It knocked my power out for 8 days and my cable JUST came back on this weekend. Anyways, I’m back with the first Smackdown since No Mercy which actually sounded pretty good.

We start off with a still picture recap of No Mercy. JBL retained his WWE title with help from HEIDENREICH. I dig the gory bladejob the champ did. Oh yeah, Heidenreich crushed the hearst Taker was loaded into with a truck.

Cole announces that The Big Show will face off against Mark Jindrak tonight. Tazz announces a rematch between JBL and Hardcore Holly also for tonight.

WORD LIFE! The NEW United States champion, John Cena, comes out to the massive babyface/hometown pop. Cena is wearing a Red Sox jersey to the delight of the live crowd. A loud and legit “Cena” chant starts up before Cena can even speak. Cena says “the champ is HOME” and proceeds to put over the Red Sox and the Patriots. Cena pays Booker T some respect for a terrific best of five series. Cena then makes fun of Michael Cole for liking O-Town and New Kids on the Block. Cena says he can make fun of Cole all night, but he would rather let someone else from the crowd do it. Cena looks for a fan when CARLITO CARIBBEAN COOL comes out with an apple in his hand! YES! MARKOUT CITY! CCC says Cena winning the US title is cool. But then he says that people who wear that jersey (the Red Sox) never win anything. Carlito says he came out to find out who was the coolest guy on Smackdown. CCC doesn’t think Cena is cool, he thinks he’s a punk. Carlito says he spits in the face of people who aren’t cool and he goes to take a bite of the apple. Cena stops him and says he looks like Manny Ramirez, but he’s a bigger jackass then A-Rod. Carlito says says it took Cena 5 matches to win the US title and CCC can win it in 1. Cena says he would be cool for Carlito to get his ass beat by Cena all over Boston. Carlito says fighting for the US title is cool but fighting right now isn’t cool. CCC says he wants to go change and he offers Cena a handshake. Cena does the “you can’t see me” so CCC boots him low and DDT the champ on the US title! Carlito then pulls out his apple, takes a big bite and spits in right in Cena’s face! Carlito Caribbean Cool leaves the ring to some massive heel heat.

Commercial break.

They recap what just happened in the ring between Cena and CCC. Cole informs us that General Manager Theodore Long has made John Cena vs Carlito Caribbean Cool for the United States title TONIGHT.

Kenzo Suzuki vs Rey Mysterio
Tazz busts out a f*cking HILARIOUS “My Woman from Tokyo” bit from Deep Purple as the tag team champs are making their way to the ring. Kenzo busts out “New York, New York” in Boston!! Oh man this show is one of the best I’ve ever seen and we are only 20 minutes in to it. Rey is wearing pink and is out with his partner in getting highness RVD. Rey uses his speed to get the early advantage with some thigh kicks and a dropkick. Kenzo hits big boot and takes over the offense with some chops and clubbing forearms. Rey comes back with a flying headscissors and a springboard crossbody for 2. Rey tries another flying attack but Kenzo catches him with a very unique double underhook neckbreaker. Kenzo goes for a powerbomb but Rey punches him down. Rey hits a corkscrew splash for 2. Rey goes for a 619 but Dupree distracts so RVD takes him out. Rey gets the 6-1-9 but Kenzo catches him before Rey can hit the second part of the move. Kenzo goes for the Claw STO and Rey slips out and rolls up Kenzo for the 1-2-3.
Winner – Rey Mysterio

Josh is backstage with YOUR WWE champion John Bradshaw Layfield. JBL says he had no idea that Heidenreich was going to attack Taker from the back of the hearst. JBL says he is a proud New Yorker and he is the most popular WWE champion of all time. He forces Josh to chant “J-B-L” as the crowd adds “sucks” at the end. JBL takes on Hardcore Holly NEXT.

JBL vs Hardcore Holly
The longhorn limo pulls up and JBL gets out with a large bandage on his forehead and a slight limp to his step. Hardcore Holly comes out to an obviously piped in face pop.

Heyman says it’s time to add a little bit of culture to this uncivilized broadcast. Its poetry time from Heidenreich. He starts to read and the crowd starts booing loudly. Heidenreich doesn’t care for the crowd stopping him so he hops the barricade and beats the shit out of 4 fans! THAT WAS GREAT!
