VELOCITY RECAP

Jamie Noble w/Nidia vs. Spanky

Nidia distracts Spanky with her imitation fur coat so that Noble can attack him from behind. HBK’s pride and joy grabs the momentum back by holding onto the ropes after an Irish whip, throwing Noble to the outside, and hitting a high flying plancha. Back in the ring, Noble catches a flying Spanky with an armbar that drives him to the mat. He continues to work over the arm with various submission holds including one where he is laying on the top turnbuckle with Spanky’s arm and head caught between his legs. Spanky drops Noble on his head from this position, but the rich redneck manages to hang onto the submission hold. Spanky finally gets in some offense with a climb up insuguri out of nowhere followed by dropkick to the knee and a field goal kick to the face. The two cruisers exchange some near falls until Noble hits Paydirt and gets the submission victory.

Winner by submission: Jamie Noble

Flashback to Smackdown
They show the tag team championship match.

Sean O’Haire vs. Funaki
Funaki tries an armbar but O’Haire is too strong for him. He hits a quick dropkick but then gets leveled by a big kick to the face. O’Haire hits a powerslam and a kick to the chest followed by some more kicks to the back and chest. Smackdown’s #1 announcer fights back with an insuguri and a bulldog, then hits a twisting DDT after O’Haire caught him in midair. The big man has had enough as he flattens Funaki with a punch and nails the Widow Maker for the win.

Winner by pinfall: Sean O’Haire

Kanyon vs. Mike Bell
The rookie takes control early with a hip toss and a powerslam. They lock up for a test of strength, but Kanyon kicks Bell in the gut and then executes a very creative move like a chinbreaker except Bell’s chin smacked against Kanyon’s knee (okay, terrible description but it’s hard to explain Kanyon’s moves in words). He hits a second rope bulldog and a baseball slide into Bell who was laying up against the ringpost. Kanyon slaps on a sleeper hold, but Bell breaks it with a back suplex. Kanyon tries a bulldog and Bell throws him across the ring to break that hold. The newcomer hits a nice fallaway slam into a pin attempt (he calls it something Bridge, couldn’t catch the name but it’s somewhere in New York) for a two count. Kanyon hits the Flatliner out of nowhere for the win.

Winner by pinfall: Kanyon

Flashback to Smackdown
We see Zach Gowen and Stephanie McMahon vs. Big Show.

Matt Hardy vs. Shannon Moore
Matt starts off by taunting Shannon and ripping off his Mattitude shirt. Shannon finally fights back after a few minutes and the crowd is behind him. Version 1.0 grabs the momentum with a clothesline in the corner, a choke in the ropes and some shoulder blocks. Shannon hits a spinning heel kick after an Irish whip, but falls prey to the Side Effect. Matt puts Shannon up on his shoulder and nails a spinning airplane neckbreaker and then hits a second rope legdrop for a two count. The original Mattitude follower finally takes control with a drop toe hold that sends Matt head first into the second turnbuckle. A blockbuster gets him a two count as does a springboard high cross body. He goes for a tornado DDT, but Matt throws him off and tries for the Twist of Fate. Shannon counters with a rollup pin that gets him a two count. He dumps his mentor to the outside and hits the Halo from the top rope all the way down to the floor. Back in the ring, Shannon uses a Hurricanrana for another pin attempt, but Matt kicks out and then rolls up his student for the win. After the match, Matt congratulates Shannon and celebrates, but Shannon doesn’t look too happy.

Winner by pinfall: Matt Hardy
