411’s WWE Smackdown Report 12.29.06
Welcome everybody to my SmackDown! review for 411Mania. This week we have a recap show for Best of SmackDown! 2006. Remember, we will be having a point system starting January 5, as we will begin the competition for WWE SmackDown! Wrestler of the Year for 2007! Here is how it will work:
1. The winner of each match will receive two points unless it is by count out or DQ in which they will receive one point.
2. The winner of a title match will receive an additional point for retaining and two additional points for winning a belt.
3. The winner of the main event will get an additional point.
4. The winner of a specialty match will get an additional point.
5. In a tag team match, a wrestler on the winning team that does not pick up the win will get one point. If the match is a DQ or Count Out, the legal man will get one point and the illegal man will get half a point.
6. If the match ends in a draw, all wresters involved will get half a point for participating.
7. If it is an elimination match, each elimination is worth one point.
8. If the match is for example, a Best Two Out of Three Falls Match or an Iron Man Match, each fall is worth one point.
9. I will keep track if a SmackDown! wrestler competes on RAW, ECW on Sci Fi, PPVs, or other specials and if a RAW Superstar or ECW Extremist can defeat a SmackDown! wrestler, they will get points as well.
Here are the standings right now including Undertaker defeating Johnny Nitro at Tribute To The Troops.
#1: Undertaker (5 Points)
#2, #3, #4, #5, and #6: Ashley, Batista, Chris Benoit, Johnny Nitro, and Kane (2 Points)
#7: Layla (1 Point)
These points will NOT be included in the 2007 standings.
I hope that is all simple enough but if it isn’t, people will get the hang of it. The standings do not start until January 5, but I’ll be doing the point system till then so readers can get use to it but tonight won’t count because it is a recap show.
SHOW BEGINS
We start off with Michael Cole and JBL discussing some of the things that they will be showing tonight.
