I went to Sheffield Smackdown show and enjoyed it. A good show with a sell out crowd that was very vocal.
Kofi Kingston vs. Jamie Noble vs. Kenny Dykstra. A good triple threat match that Kofi wins with kick to the head of Noble for the pin.
The Miz & John Morrison defeated Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore. Before the match, Morrison got on the mic and created big heat by calling Sheffield the worst city in the UK, and it worked well. Morrison pinned Moore in a good match.
Kelly Kelly defeated Victoria in a good Divas match that saw Kelly showing off some good moves.
Mark Henry defeated Tommy Dreamer. Not a great match, Henry was just too big for Dreamer and beat him via submission.
Batista & Finlay, with Hornswoggle, vs. Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder. A fun match with water pistols being fired at the referee and the crowd. Finlay was getting a beating then he managed to get the hot tag to the Animal who hit a spear and Batista Bomb to end the match. After the match, Batista put on Hornswoggle's hat and did a dance and jig with Finlay and Hornswoggle. The crowd loved it.
Eve Torres came out and threw a few T-Shirts into the crowd.
CM Punk defeated Shelton Benjamin. A long, slow start with Benjamin spending a lot of time out of the ring. He worked on Punk's leg, but Punk managed to win the match when he hit the GTS. Punk walked out after the match with a limp and looked like he was in a lot of pain.
United States Champion MVP vs. Matt Hardy. MVP was at his best here, as he got on the mic and praised the troops for what they were doing overseas, which got big applause ... then he suddenly changed and told the UK fans to use toothbrushes, which got bit heat. A good match with both wrestlers taking control at one point, MVP hit Hardy with an object, which the ref didn't see, for the pin. After the match, MVP looked to hit Hardy with the U.S. belt, but he missed and Hardy hit MVP with a Twist of Fate to big applause.
The main event was Big Show, Kane & Undertaker vs. Edge, Great Khali & Chavo Guerrero. A good, solid match, the Undertaker's entrance was awesome and got massive applause from the crowd. Kane was getting a beating from Edge and Chavo, then he tagged Undertaker who went after Edge. Big Show bodyslammed Khali and then they fought outside the ring. Chavo and Kane continued their battle, and Undertaker tombstoned Edge for the pin. Good match with plenty going on.
Overall, I really enjoyed the card and it had some solid matches, plus great heat for John Morrison and MVP
