Smackdown Results 09/03/10

Smackdown Results from Albany, NY:

The show opened with higlights of The Undertaker - Kane saga, starting with Taker being discovered by Kane in a vegetative state. Kane played it up pretending someone else did it, even blaming CM Punk, Jack Swagger and Rey Mysterio. Kane eventually won the World Title by cashing in at Money in the Bank. However, Undertaker returned at Summerslam and said he believed that it was Kane who attacked him, not Rey. Now, Kane and Taker are in a bitter feud between brothers.

As Smackdown opened, Grisham said tonight Kane will make a major announcement concerning the Undertaker.

Tony Chimel introduced Ricardo Rodriguez the personal ring announcer for Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio drove his Bentley into the arena and then was announced as he smiled on the ramp. Del Rio got into the ring which was all decorated with a pinata, there were men holding silver trays wearing tuxedos, and balloons as part of the set. Del Rio talked about what he did to that little chiuahua Rey Mysterio, showing a clip to remind the fans of what he did to Rey last Friday. Matt Striker said Mysterio has suffered a fractured wrist as a result of Del Rio's attack.

Del Rio continued to insult Mysterio in ring, saying he's a "Chicano" and so ashamed of it, he wears a mask to cover up. He compared Rey to the donkey pinata in the ring which had a purple Mysterio hat on it. He had one of the men hand him a stick to smash down the pinata. He asked for some champagne to make a toast for Alberto Del Rio, because he's "the man" - handsome, powerful and rich - "everything." Just then, Christian arrived out to interrupt the fiesta.

Del Rio was confused as Christian got into the ring with a mic. Christian said he just wanted to come out and introduce himself, "Captain Charisma." Christian said "I know who you are, JBL right?" Christian said he knows who he is, a huge international superstar - Enrique Iglesias. Christian started singing Iglesias' song "Hero". Del Rio called Christian a name, and Christian took an ours douerve then spit it out. He told Del Rio, he came out to tell him face-to-face he doesn't appreciate what he did to Mysterio. Christian told Del Rio "you're the only jackass that I see."

Christian said he's got a match scheduled for tonight, but has no problem fighting Del Rio right now in the ring. Del Rio told all his men in the ring to vamanos. Del Rio asked Christian if he's sure he wants to do this, then tore off his suit jacket. He got in Christian's face and then smirked as he backed away. Del Rio grabbed his jacket and put it over his shoulder. He said this will go down another place and another time, and Christian will pay for this. Del Rio exited the ring to head up the ramp.

As Christian stared out at Del Rio, he was suddenly attacked from behind by Drew McIntyre. McIntyre kicked him to the outside, where Del Rio walked back down and poured out champagne on him. He crouched down to talk trash to Christian, then left. Todd Grisham said Christian is scheduled to compete against McIntyre next. Smackdown went to break.

Smackdown returned with an older man and Hornswoggle. Swoggle had some patches taped to his forehead. Teddy Long came in and asked what was going on. The man, a psychiatrist, said he's tried all the usual ways of trying to get Hornswoggle to talk, like ink blot, phonics and even See N' Say. He said the final method to get Hornswoggle to speak is shock. Teddy Long OK'd it and the man turned on the device to send electrodes into Hornswoggle's head. He did it several times, and Teddy told him to be careful. Finally, Hornswoggle had enough and tore off the patches from his head. He stuck one on the doctor's forehead and cranked the device up to the highest level. Teddy Long said they better get out of there, and he left with Hornswoggle as the psychiatrist convulsed in the chair.

Chris Masters vs. Dolph Ziggler

Swagger called tonight's show an "All American American American VIP Lounge." In the ring was a couch, trophies, pictures, awards and other Swagger memorabilia. Swagger had them roll footage of how he was dominating MVP last week. Swagger pushed down on MVP's head at one point, and that made Montell stand up and slap Swagger to get DQ'd. As MVP left the ring for the ramp, Swagger rushed him from behind and knocked down MVP then put on the Ankle Lock.

Back to tonight's VIP Lounge, Swagger introduced his special VIP guest, his dad Jack Swagger, Sr. Swagger told his dad he's truly his VIP. Swagger asked his dad what he wants the WWE Universe to hear. Swagger Sr. started to brag about his son Jack's accomplishments, including him winning a pushup contest 19 years ago. His dad asked Swagger if he'd do some pushups to show off to the crowd. Swagger took off his jacket and got down to start doing pushups as his dad counted them out loud.

All of a sudden, Swagger's pushups were interrupted as MVP's music came on and Montell Vontavius Porter arrived out to the ramp. MVP said these two squares are making fools of themselves. MVP talked about how they need music going and bottles poppin. MVP asked if Swagger only brought his dad out just to kiss his - . Swagger interrupted, telling MVP to walk away while he still can.

MVP said he's still the owner of the VIP Lounge, and now it's closed for renovations. MVP tossed a few of Swagger's trophies out of the ring and a table. He went after Swagger, but Swagger got behind his dad in the wheelchair and started pushing him at MVP. His dad started to hold his neck in discomfort/pain. MVP finally cornered them and shoved the wheelchair at Swagger in the corner. Swagger shoved his dad at MVP and his dad fell on top of Porter. Swagger charged at MVP, who pulled the top rope down so Swagger would fall out of the ring.

Kane's pyro went off and the World Champion was heard laughing several times, then was shown up on the Titantron. Kane talked about the Final Chapter or the End of the World for his brother The Undertaker. Kane said Taker's end will come at Night of Champions. Kane said he'll defend the World Title against his brother at the PPV, and it will be a crowning moment in his career.

Kane talked about how envy has made him more powerful. Kane spoke about now possessing his brother's powers. Four druids carried a casket down to the ring as the ominous music played and the arena was dark. The druids placed the casket at ringside and left the area. A thundering noise was heard and then distorted images of the casket were shown. The casket finally opened and Kane came out of it, rolling into the ring.

Kane said he wished he could see the look on his brother's face right now. Kane talked about his brother being the Phenom no longer, then had a clip shown from Monday Night Raw, when Kane used his powers to darken the arena, so Wade Barrett and Nexus could attack Taker in the ring. Barrett slammed Taker onto the mat, and Justin Gabriel hit a 450 Splash on Taker.

Kane said his brother's powers now belong to him. He said when all of this is over, The Phenom will become a memory known as "Kane's brother." Kane said at NOC, The Undertaker will feel his rage and will be powerless to stop his demise. Kane said nothing can stop him, and kept screaming it. Finally Undertaker's bells sounded and his entrance music with pyro/smoke started up from the ramp area.

Kane looked up the ramp and saw his brother The Undertaker finally emerge. Taker walked down the ramp slowly towards the ring with Kane looking amused in the ring. Taker walked up the steel steps and then used his arms to bring the light back on. However, as he got into the ring, the lights went out. His bell sounded and Taker was there alone. Kane had disappeared. Taker looked over at the closed casket then went to the outside and lifted the lid, but inside was empty. He heard Kane laughing then saw the Big Red Monster up on the big screen.

Kane said his brother was wrong to assume he had anything left to learn. Kane said after Night of Champions Undertaker will simply be known as "the brother I destroyed." He kept laughing maniacally and then his pyro exploded from the ringposts. Smackdown ended with Taker in the ring and Kane still laughing up on the Titantron as his music played out.
