Smackdown tapings
La Familia came out to ENORMOUS HEAT .... anytime Vickie attempted to speak all of Staples Center would explode in BOO'S great moment to be a fan not sure how it will pan out during TV.
Finlay defeated Chuck Palumbo in a Hardcore type match.
Finlay and Horny got a good pop during the entrance
funny note when Palumbo did his entrance along side of the ring Horny hopped on the back of his bike, lol classic. A few TAKER RIP-OFF CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP chants broke out at Palumbo.
Great Khali defeated Deuce and Domino.
AMAZINGLY Khali got a nice pop during his entrance and after his win.
Cousin Sal defeated Santino Marella.
A very entertaining match. Cousin Sal actually learned to wrestle for this. Funny note when Marella went for a body slam Sal didn't help in the process which lead to an awkward motion very funny (you'll see on TV). Cousin Sal , Piper, Kimmel got good reactions from the crowd.
Natalya beat out all the other divas in a pole match to win a place in the Divas Championship match. All divas got pops during the entrance and through out the match.
Team Batista beat La Familia.
Great facial reaction from Batista after each partner was announced. Funaki got a mini pop, Nunzio made us all laugh when he was telling Batista to hold his hands up flat so he can do the boxer jabs to his hands. Delaney did a good job of selling everything.
