For some, they'd rather just watch and find out on Thursday night if the SD! crew delivered.  To them, I say, hit your BACK button now, because we're about to do some spoilin'!

Here, compiled from various e-mail reports, are the details of the Fed's last couple days of TV tapings:

WWE Sunday Night Heat
(Taped Monday, Airs Sunday)

• NOTE: these matches will air INTERNATIONALLY ONLY.  Here in the US, we'll get a special pre-PPV edition of Heat, live from Los Angeles.
• Goldust beat Raven.
• Big Show beat Johnny the Bull.
• Steven Richards beat D'Lo Brown.

WWE Velocity
(Taped Tuesday, Airs Saturday)

• Hurricane Helms beat Crash Holly
• Funaki scored an upset win over Albert (but paid the price after the match)
• Randy Orton beat Shannon Moore
• Tajiri beat Kidman

WWE SmackDown
(Taped Tuesday, Airs Thursday)

• The show opened with Rey Mysterio and Torrie Wilson getting a win over Jamie Knoble and Nidia.  Apparently, Rey pinned Knoble, which will probably set up a Cruiserweight Title match for the PPV (?).
• In-ring promo time:  Billy, Chuck, and Steph accepted Bischoff's challenge from Monday, and said they'd have more to say to Sleazy E later in the show.  Kurt Angle eventually interrupted, tossing some (unintentional?) double entendres at Billy and Chuck.  This eventually led to a challenge in which Angle was teamed up with Chris Benoit (by the conniving Steph) to face Billy and Chuck later in the night.
• Backstage:  Paul Heyman tells Brock Lesnar he's gotten the local police department to provide his security for the night because of what happened with Taker and his wife last week, but apparently, they'll only protect Lesnar in the backstage area.
• In a battle of rookies, Brock Lesnar dispatched John Cena fairly easily with the F-5.  After the match, Lesnar and Heyman hurried to the back, obviously wanted to get back under the auspices of the police.
• Matt Hardy beat Hurricane Helms in a good match.  Hardy could only win after delivering a low blow while the ref was distracted.
• Next, it was time for a "live satellite feed" so Eric Bischoff and Stephanie could go face-to-face.  They traded insults relating to the stipulations (kiss the ass/HLA) in the Billy/Chuck vs. Island Boyz match on PPV this Sunday, which were accepted by Steph.  She even said that if her guys lost, and she had to try the Hot Lesbian Action, that she just might like it.  [Um, OK, so maybe I've been wrong all this time that I've been saying Steph didn't have it in her to be a really effective babyface...]
• Eddie and Chavo Guerrero scored a win over Edge and Rikishi, in a rematch from last week.  A surprise result in itself (no further tension between the Guerreros, either) was made even more surprising because it was Chavo who pinned Edge...
• In the de facto main event, Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit managed to work just long enough to have a decent little match against Billy and Chuck.  But in the end, the ref lost control of things and Angle and Benoit started fighting each other (no decision/schmozz, but one report said this all happened after Angle and Benoit did manage to score the win).  Angle scored first with an Olympic Slam and an anklelock, but Benoit countered with a Crippler Crossface to get the last laugh.
• In the non-main event, Undertaker arrived at the building, and went to the ring, where he was quickly confronted by Brock Lesnar.  This wasn't a match, but the two came to blows quickly.  When Taker looked to be gaining control, Matt Hardy came out from the back and attacked Taker.  Lesnar takes the chance to slink away back to his police escort, while Hardy winds up taking a chokeslam for his efforts to assist Lesnar and Heyman.  [After the cameras stopped rolling, Taker left ringside, only to return when Matt Hardy started mocking him by wearing his hat.  When Taker returned, Matt tried to beg off in humorous heel fashion, but after a while, Taker'd heard enough, and gave Matt the Last Ride.]

Sounds like some good TV coming up...  be sure to check this stuff out as it airs, since there are invariably some minor details that get muddled when trying to compile all the details from a few different (sometimes divergent) reports.  And trust me, you want to know the Official Version of what happens on these shows!  Not our half-assed spoiler version...
