Just got back home. Here are the Smackdown taping results. Place was about 80 percent full. Great buzz around the place. People were pumped for the cage match...and most seemed to know something was going down. Anyway, here you go...

DARK MATCH

(1) Eddie Colon pinned Shannon Moore

SMACKDOWN TAPING

(1) Chris Benoit & Matt Hardy defeated MVP & Finlay when Benoit pinned MVP.

(2) Michelle McCool pinned Jillian Hall

(3) Paul London (w/ Brian Kendrick) pinned Domino (w/ Duece, Cherry)

(4) Kane (w/Boogeyman, Little Boogeyman) pinned Dave Taylor (w/William Regal)

(5) Jimmy Wang Yang pinned Chavo Guerrero.

(6) Undertaker fought Batista to a draw in a steel cage match with both men's feet hit the floor at the same time.

Following the match, Mark Henry came to ringside and destroyed Undertaker.

(7) Money in the Bank Title Match: Edge pinned Undertaker to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.

NOTES: The end of the Undertaker-Batista match will need some editing. Batista was late climbing out of the cage... leaving the Undertaker waiting, which when you are hanging from the outside of a cage, it seemd like forever. Then in the worst ever exposing of a match then occured as Taker shouted 1-2-3 jump to Batista. Pretty sure everyone saw it and heard it.

Little Bastard, for no apparent reason, climbed out from underneath the ring during a commerical break and ran to the back prior to the Kane-Taylor match. No idea why... maybe he fell asleep under the ring.

Few EWC notes : C.M. Punk was in a lot of pain after his match, holding his side and back. Also...a few Kurt Angle chants broke out during the ECW main event...but Vince didn't address them.

Biggest Pops
1. Undertaker
2. Benoit
3. Batista

Biggest Heel Heat
1. Edge
2. Mark Henry
3. Batista

Crowd was into Batista early...but then turned on him duringi the match.

QUICK TIPS FOR SENDING RESULTS

If you attend an arena event in future, either house shows or TV tapings, we encourage you to send us a report for publication. You can direct your reports to "matchresults06" (@pwtorch. com).

We accept reports in any format, but if it's not much trouble, please format your report like you see above, with the matches numbered like this (1) , (2) , (3) , with the opening line of each match paragraph stating who beat whom (don't just say Wrestler A vs. Wrestler beat with the result listed later; instead, state up front who won so those readers who don't have time to read the entire report (i. e. their boss walks past their cubicle all the time looking beat their shoulder) can at least quickly assess the results.

Also, please list tag teams using the "&" symbol as opposed to stating "and. " Reserve use of " and" when listing results in a threevway or fourvway match where there are no teams (i. e. " Wrestler A beat Wrestler B and Wrestler C in a threevway match" ) so it is easy to differentiate a handicap match from a threevway match.

If you know HTML coding for bolding, you can also bold out the first line of each match description. If you don't know HTML symbols, then we can add those ourselves.

Special thanks to everyone who helps us with reports on live events!
