TV PG V CC entertainment open fireworks - "It's 7PM! It's Prime Time!" Josh hasn't heard of timezones.

the FBI (451 pounds) vs thug life Billy Kidman and Paul London (415 pounds) - Hey, Johnny grew his hair out! Except for that patch on the very top middle. Your announcers are Bill and Josh and this is Velocity #106. Kidman talks London out of running to the ring! Ah, plot resolution. Bill: "And the week I say 'high fliers', Paul London walks to the ring." Josh says the non-running is an attempt to conserve energy for the match. Billy's right knee is taped, and while they mention the attack by Mordecai, the announcers don't make it clear if it's as a result of the attack or Kidman's perpetual knee problems.  Kidman tries to get the crowd to clap for him, but first they have to stop booing Nunzio. Lockup, Kidman with a waistlock takedown, Nunzio gets to the ropes. Circle. Lockup, Kidman with a side headlock, Nunzio fighting it, Kidman shot off, back with a shoulderblock. Off the ropes, over, un-no, wait Kidman stops short of the leapfrog and waits for Nunzio to land so he can be kicked. Headlock takedown. Bill on Eddie vs JBL: "What kind of stipulation can possibly be left?" They're really used a lot of them so far. Nunzio turns out of the headlock, into his own. Near the FBI corner, so Johnny tags himself in and pulls Kidman into a full nelson. Nunzio slaps Kidman in the face, then takes off to prevent revenge when Kidman get loose. Kidman blocks Johnny's punch, right, right, whip, reversed, Kidman ducks the clothesline and uses the spinning headscissors on the next pass. Nunzio starts to come into help, Kidman moves towards him, and Nunzio heads to the floor once again. Johnny misses a sneak attack clothesline and Kidman armdrags him down. Over to London for a tag, double whip, Kidman drops down and London drops Johnny with a dropsault. One tow no. Headlock by London, but Johnny easily shoves him off into the corner. Corner charge, slowing down right before he crashes into London's elbow. London quick to the middle rope, calling for and landing the Mushroom Stomp. Josh does sing, London 'rana, leg lariat one two NO. London tries picking up Johnny again, but Johnny's had enough of this - London's picked up and rammed into the corner. "What's that music?" "It's Mario Brothers!" "It's Paul London and Billy Kidman! Oh, I get it, FBI, Italian, Mario Brothers." Tag to Nunzio, wasting no time kicking the sense out of London, like what must've been done to DeMott long ago. Pushing London's head down with the flat of the boot. London battles up and lays into Nunzio with forearms. Whip, reversed, (Johnny walks past the camera for no readily obvious reason here), London's kick is caught, Nunzio flips him, London lands on his feet, Nunzio back off and Johnny comes in to forearm London from behind. That's blatant enough that even DeMott doesn't like it. Nunzio takes advantage with more stomps. Josh compares Johnny the Bull to Paul Heyman. Kneeling chinlock by Nunzio. London trying to elbow out, off the ropes but Johnny grabs him by his hair to stop him. Nick Patrick gets himself distracted by Kidman, London pushes Johnny away but ends up taking a Russian legsweep one two no. Nunzio with a forearm to the back, tag to Johnny, Johnny with a shot to gut. London battles back up with punches, whip, reverse, Johnny with a press slam. Pose, then cover one two Kidman breaks it up. Johnny chinlock. London tries to elbow out and stomps Johnny's foot, but Johnny stops him with a forearm to back. London rammed into the corner again. Nunzio looks for a tag, but instead moves to the other side of the corner, right in position for London to try a flurry of strikes against both of them. And what do you know, London tries a flurry of strikes against both of then. Johnny at least manages to stop it with a kneelift. Tag to Nunzio as London tries crawling through Johnny's legs to his corner, but Johnny grabs a leg to hold him in place as his partner comes in. Nunzio waltzes over, lowers his knee pad as Johnny lets go and leaves the ring, and drops the knee just as London's rolling out of the way. Maybe Johnny should've held on a bit longer. Nunzio grabs his knee and hops around, but manages an elbow drop - which also misses. Tag to Kidman. Nunzio begs off, but begging doesn't stop him from being clotheslined. Clothesline. Whip, backdrop. Jumping forearm for Johnny on the apron. Nunzio tries to slip out of the ring, but Kidman grabs him by the leg. They end with Nunzio sitting on the middle rope with his upper body on the outside, so he starts to fall backwards when Kidman punches him but his legs keep him in the ropes. Punch for Johnny, another punch for Nunzio knocks him back over, dropkick for Johnny, another right for Nunzio, and Johnny's run into Nunzio's boots. More choreographed then we're used to. Nunzio finally gets free of the ropes and gets punched again. London back in with a missile dropkick on Johnny. BK Bomb on Nunzio, and he's dragged into the corner. Kidman going up, Patrick getting London out of the ring - and Johnny socks Kidman. Did he have knucks? Kidman is out, Nunzio covers one two three (6:43) Johnny definitely put something back in his trunks - Bill and Josh pick up on it, good for him! - though we never get a close up of what he had. 

Up Next: Booker isn't scurrred.

YJ Successful Title Defense

Reflection Of Perfection Mark Jindrak (Atlanta, GA, 253 pounds, w/Theodore R. Long) vs Shannon Moore (Raleigh, NC, 207 pounds) - To mix things up, they enter together! And get an introduction! It's a whole new way of looking at it. I like how his video has close ups of his abs. Josh: "We go from Old School to...all about Mark Jindrak!" Josh is the master of the segue. They still have the mirror and Theo asking for love to be shown. Still not yet. Unlike the people, these two are cheaters - they're going to give the people watching TV what they want to see by doing the reveal towards the camera. "This man is like a band-aid, if you look at him, he'll be stuck on you! Stuck on you!" He said it twice because it was one of his weaker lines, I guess. Hey, we did this match already! You really are cheaters! I wonder when "Jindrak faces only cruiserweights" goes from a inside joke only you and me note to an actual angle. We'll start as soon as Long leaves. Okay, there we go. Circle. Lockup, Jindrak gets behind, shoves Moore away and tells him to leave all in one motion. Circle. Mark Jindrak's name of the magical disappearing mirror is Abacus. Lockup, Shannon thrown down on his face. Jindrak poses. Talks to Theo. Circle. Lockup, no, Jindrak with a kick, and Shannon's thrown to the outside. Mark starts posing before checking to see if Shannon actually hit the floor, and since Shannon landed on his feet, he's quick in to dropkick Mark out. Mark and Long have a strategy session while Shannon yells. Shannon gets bored and breaks up the conversation with a sliding dropkick on Jindrak. Long backs off, so Shannon turns his attention to Jindrak. Jindrak thrown back in, Moore in after, Jindrak knees him. Whip, Moore with a sunset flip, Jindrak blocks it, picks Shannon up and clotheslines him. Jindrak complains about being forearmed before, then gets to stomping. Choke on the middle rope. Ah, Jindrak is ticked that Moore's forearms might have facially disfigured. Suplex. One two no. Moore forearms, Jindrak forearms and stomps him back down. Pick him up, punch him down. Kneeling surfboard. Bill: "Are we the only two paying attention around here?" Shannon rallying back with some good support from the crowd, much to Long's displeasure. Forearm, forearm, forearm, whip, reversed into a shot kick, Jindrak measures Shannon up and dropkicks him down. I used that already, oops. Pushups, situps, kip up, pose. Jindrak picks up Shannon, Shannon surprises him with a kick, chop, chop, duck the clothesline, off the ropes forearm but Jindrak isn't going down. Again, he's still up but reeling. Shannon off the ropes, wheel kick will do it, one two no. Shannon tries a suplex? Jindrak grabs him and sits him down on the top rope before Shannon can even think about lifting. Jindrak with a right hand (I think, camera completely hid it), then he wanders around for a bit "recovering", so he can turn right into a Shannon second rope leg lariat. One two NO. Corner whip, no blocked, Shannon tries the WOW crossbody but Jindrak just lets him land on Mark's knee. Shannon staggers right into position, Mark of Excellence one two three (4:58) 

Up Next: Eddie is not a fan of stretchers

2 Weeks Ago: Eddie gets the tag, and things don't end well. (:44)
Josh says Eddie was cleared to come back to SmackDown this week
Last Thursday: Angle makes a difficult decision. So if Eddie was cleared, why would Angle get sued? Eh. And if Eddie's not faking, why would it b e a problem for him to sign an agreement? (4:07)

Up Next: the Lumberjack match.

05/31 - Moncton, NB [WMRevenge]
06/01 - Toronto, ON [SD!]

(no date given) Pesaro, Italy [Passport to Pain]

Lumberjack fun. What have we learned here? Shannon is apparently a face and Jamie is apparently a heel. (5:20)

Up Next: Billy Gunn vs Sakoda. Well, that explains why they weren't hyping the main event all night.

Billy Gunn (269 pounds) vs Sakoda (Japan, 237 pounds) - "There's not much that Billy Gunn hasn't done in the WWE!" Sakoda has tights! Circle. Clapping. Josh has a pool! In his apartment complex, I'm sure. Bill: "You don't grill a steak! You grill cheese!" Lockup, into the corner where Sakoda very loudly and very much in English yells "GET HIM OFF! GET HIM OFF OF ME!" Sakoda complains about a hair pull too. Gunn plays innocent. Josh encourages Bill to come over to his house for Memorial Day, and paint his deck. "I'm going to paintbrush you in a minute!" "Well, if you don't want to, no big deal." Gunn with an armbar, Sakoda with an armbar, Charles Robinson with an armbar! No, not really. I'm going to wait until they stop pretending they're mat wrestling before I pay any attention. Headlock takedowns a plenty. There's the shoulderblock sequence, with Gunn mixing it up by covering. I bet the Japanese characters on Sakoda's tights might just say "Sakoda". Sakoda gets in a knee, whip gets reversed, Sakoda is awkward off the ropes and they have a set of bad to hilarious armdrags. Best is when Sakoda stands there, Gunn stands there, Gunn puts out his arm, and Sakoda decides his best offense is to jump in to the arm. Sakoda hides behinds Charles Robinson, which wouldn't seem possible. Kick to the arm by Sakoda, armbar takedown, at least we've moved on working an arm. Sakoda points to his head! Arm stretch around the top rope. Arm snap over the top rope. Sakoda has "Japanese Strong offense", based on the fact that he's Japanese and sorta strong. Armbar. Gunn elbows out, off the ropes, powerslam looked odd for a reason I couldn't put my finger on, one two no. Bill: "That was very close to Sakoda dropping Billy Gunn on his head", maybe that's it. Sakoda to the second rope. Flying NOTHING, chin meets boot. I'm staring intently at my Time Remaining In Show indicator about now. Gunn wins the punch battle. Whip, back elbow. Gunn yells at Sakoda to get up. Gunn off the ropes, kicked and dropped with an STO one two no. Sakoda can't believe that wouldn't be his finisher. Whip, reversed, kick to the gut, Fameasser. Much of Gunn's butt landed on Sakoda's back there, which couldn't have felt well. One two three (5:10) Gunn does make Charles hold up the other shoulder, even though Sakoda kinda got away from working on it.

That's it.
