Happy NEW YEAR! I’m your new SD! recapper, as Brad now has classes on thursday nights, so I’ll be covering this show now till the day I die. Or until the semester’s over, whichever comes first.

There are so many people who give their opinions on SD! and RAW, so I wont, unless it’s good or REALLY bad. I also have been cutting back on spoilers, to help boost my interest.

Oh, I also do Heat recaps here too.

Taped from Mohegan Sun Casino
Hosts are Tazz & Michael Cole

Eddie Guerrero vs. WWE Tag Team Champion Rey Mysterio
Joy is our special bell ringer. Eddie grabs a hammerlock, and gets Rey in a side headlock. Rey gets out with an amrdrag into a headscissors. Test of strength, which Eddie wins, but Rey flips it around into a sunset flip for 2. Rey gets another tilt a whirl headscissors, but Eddie counters what seems to be a hurricanrana, and drops Rey on his face! It gets 2. Crowd chants “619”. Eddie gets back on the hammerlock, and gets Rey’s shoulders down for a quick 2. Rey gets his foot on the rope to get out of the hammerlock. Rey goes for some sort of sprinboard move, but Eddie catches Rey, and sets him up in a tree of woe. Eddie misses a kick, crotching himself, and that leads us to:
