Segment one opens with Juventud defending
the cruiserweight title against Paul London. They lock

Juventud reverses it and London counters with a side
headlock. Juventud shoves him to the ropes, but Paul
comes back with a shoulderblock. Juvi kips up and is
met with one of London's kicks. Juvi lands a chop and
both men back off to regroup. London rolls up Juventud
for a two count and Juvi small packages London for a
two count of his own. They trade leapfrogs off the ropes
and reach a stalemate once again. Both men trade waistlocks
before Juvi turns it into a northern lights suplex for
a one count and floats over to try to cover but London
monkey flips him off while still keeping hold of Guerrera's
hands and stands up and sweeps the legs going into a
pinning combination of his own. Juvi gets up to his
feet and attempts to spring off the ropes, but overshoots

slam but Juvi takes him over with a rana. Juvi hits
the Juvidriver and scores the pin to retain the Cruiserweight
title.
Commercial for the latest edition of Smackdown
magazine with Batista on the cover airs to close out
the first segment.
THE VERDICT
Great match. First match in and they're
already off to a bang. Just a fantastic back and forth
match with tons of counters and both men really carried
their end. These two work really well together and this
is definitely a segment to check out.
(2) Christian defeated Brian Kendrick with the Unprettier
Kendrick opens up with a flurry of offense
from the get go. Christian comes back with some punches
and kicks, but Kendrick lands a drop toe hold and slaps
around Christian. Christian runs into a spin kick and
Kendrick gets a two count. Christian takes control after
a thumb to eye he drops Kendrick stomach first across
the top rope and then gives him a knee lift sending
him to the floor. Christian rolls him in but only gets
a one count. Kendrick fights back but gets caught in
a gutbuster for a two count. Christian follows up with
an abdominal stretch but Kendrick elbows his way out.
He comes off the ropes, but Christian catches him with
a kick to the gut and hits a sitdown gourdbuster for
a one count before Kendrick grabbed the ropes. Christian
goes for it again, but this time Kendrick reverses it
into a small package for a two count. Kendrick comes
off the ropes but gets caught with a knee to the midsection
and Christian follows with a choke on the ropes. Christian
comes off the ropes but runs into a dropkick from Kendrick.
Kendrick hits a headbutt, then comes off the ropes and
floats over into a backslide for a two count. Kendrick
comes off the ropes with a pair of shoulderblocks. Christian
throws Kendrick over the top rope, but Kendrick hangs
on and climbs to the top. Christian catches him but
Kendrick bites his way out and shoves Christian to the
mat. Kendrick hits a top rope senton for two but Christian
drapes his foot over the bottom rope to break up the
pin. Kendrick goes for sliced bread #2, but Christian
reverses shoving him into the corner then hits the Unprettier
for the pin.
Segment closes with an advertisement for
the divas uncovered book.
THE VERDICT
Another good match. This was a match to
showcase Christian, but Kendrick certainly held his
own. Not to the level of the first match, but certainly
a good one in its own right. Definitely worth checking
out.
Segment three was just a recap of the
main event from Smackdown where Bob Orton faked an injury
and Ken Kennedy took his place teaming with Randy Orton
against Batista and Eddie Guerrero. This is leading
to a six man match this week with the Ortons and Kennedy
taking on Batista, Eddie Guerrero and Roddy Piper. Good
recap video if you missed smackdown. Otherwise, you've
already seen it.
(3) The New LOD wrestled William Regal and Paul Burchill
to a no contest to retain the WWE tag team titles when
MNM and The Mexicools interfered.
Segment four opens with a commercial for
the batman begins DVD. Good movie. Main event time as
William Regal and Paul Burchill challenge the new LOD
for the WWE tag team titles. Burchill and Heidenreich
start this one. Burchill attacks Heidenreich from behind
and hits a flurry of punches and kicks and rakes the
eyes before tagging out to Regal. Regal lands a flurry
of kicks and forearms before tagging out to Burchill.
After some more kicks, Burchill covers for a two count.
Burchill follows with a couple forearms to the back
and hits a release fisherman's suplex. He covers for
a one count and tags back out to Regal. Regal and Burchill
continue the dominance of Heidenreich keeping him in
their corner. Heidenreich finally gets in an offensive
move back suplexing Burchill out of a side headlock.
This allows Heidenreich to make the tag to Animal. Animal
comes in and cleans house. Burchill goes for a kick,
but Animal reverses it into a Dragonscrew leg whip.
Regal breaks up the pin before even a one count. All
four men in the ring when MNM hit the ring and attack
Animal and Heidenreich. The Mexicools hit the ring shortly
after to even things up. The two mystery guys from Smackdown
(The Tolands) attacked Animal while Burchill gave Heidenreich
a shoulderbreaker. The announcers put over the four
way tag team title match this coming week on Smackdown
where the new LOD will defend against Regal and Burchill,
MNM and The Mexicools.
THE VERDICT
This was a good match for really getting
over Regal and Burchill. They really have a good thing
going as sort of an old school type tag team, not flashy
but they just come in and take care of business. Good
setup for the four way next week on Smackdown. The match
was short, but it was decent till the run-ins at the
end.
OVERALL:
Overall I have to say another good show
from the Velocity crew. The Cruiserweight Title match
with Juvi and London was really good and definitely
worth going out of your way for. Brian Kendrick looked
good in a losing effort to Christian and the main event
was good in building up Regal and Burchill as legit
contender to the tag team titles. I think most people
have only looked at MNM as the team to unseat LOD, but
now Regal and Burchill are up there as well. Pretty
good show all around. I recommend checking it out.
