As always, if you don't want to spoil the rest of the week's TV action, just hit BACK now, and you can choose from plenty of other very-worthy content here on OO.

But for the rest of you, here are the full results from this week's tapings, as compiled from e-mail reports:

WWE Heat
(Taped Monday, Airs Sunday)

Dark matches: 

• Steven Richards and Crash defeated the Island Boys. An Island Boy performed the stinkface, more or less, and came off of the move right into a Stevie-kick, with Richards carrying crash up the ramp after the match. 
• Jason Sugarman and Mike Sanders defeated B.J. Payne and Steve Bradley. Finisher was a Hart Attack, as Sugarman held and Sanders did the clothsline. The crowd thought this was boring for some reason. 

Sunday Night Heat Taping: 

• Eddy Guerrero defeated Spike Dudley with a frog splash. During Raw, I expected Spike to make the save on Bubba Ray to set up this match, but it didn't happen. 
• Raven defeated Matt Hardy after Hardy missed a moonsault and Raven covered, putting his feet on the ropes in the process. For some reason, this finish really pissed off the fans. 
• Tommy Dreamer defeated Johnny the Bull Stomboli by DQ when the WCW refugee did a blatant low blow. The match was preceded by an anti-Cleveland Johnny the Bull promo in order to prime the audience to care about the match. Johnny still had his hat while his entrance music and video were Italian-themed. Jacqueline was the special referee for this bout. Cheap heat works. 
• Sean O'Haire won a match with a move other than the Sean-ton bomb. Some sort of slam that began with a fireman's carry and a revolution or so of spinning with the opponent on his shoulders. Upon looking up the RAW roster, I recall that it is Justin Credible. My viewing of ECW consists solely of a tape of some pay-per-view borrowed from a college dormmate, so I have no interest in ECW history. It's not that I hate Justin Credible. I just have no history of watching him and don't find anything unusual about him.   

[Thanks to Anthony de Jesus for that report from Cleveland's tapings...]

WWE Velocity
(Taped Tuesday, Airs Saturday)

• Tajiri defeated Albert, after Albert controlled much of the match.  That's the second such loss for Albert in as many weeks...
• Billy Kidman got a win over Sho Funaki.
• Christian did his fellow Canucks proud, defeating the Hurricane.
• Jamie Knoble beat Chavo Guerrero.

WWE SmackDown!
(Taped Tuesday, Airs Thursday)

• Vince McMahon started the show off with a promo, putting over Kurt Angle for beating Hulk Hogan at the PPV.  Angle came out, took off his wig (after a month, it's about time that gimmick dies), and got all serious.  He issued an open challenge to anyone who he's never faced before to come out and wrestle him tonight.  "The Prototype" John Cena (who was on one of those documentaries as a UPW wrestler, and who has more recently been working in OVW) came out and answered the challenge.
• This led directly into Kurt Angle barely squeezing out a win over Cena in the night's first match.  Angle used a roll-up out of nowhere to get the win.
• Backstage, a lot of the mid-card SD! babyfaces congratulated Cena on a good showing.  Undertaker crashed the party, however... but he surprised everybody by shaking Cena's hand.
• Billy and Chuck retained the tag team titles, beating Hardcore Holly and the Big Valbowski.  A distraction by Rico proved to be the difference maker.
• Undertaker came out and started out a promo in heel mode:  he said he'd destroy the Rock when the Rock comes back in two weeks, and then gloated over sending HHH back for more surgery.  But then Kurt Angle came out, and asked for a title shot next week on SD... and Taker switched over to babyface mode.  When Taker wouldn't give Angle a title match, Angle put him in an anklelock.
• Lance Storm defeated Mark Henry with a superkick, making good on a pre-match promise to defeat an American.
• Rikishi defeated Test by disqualification when Test pushed Rikishi into the referee (whew, good thing the guy's got immunity!).  After the match, Rikishi hit the stinkface, and Test had to be rescued and consoled by Christian and Lance Storm.  After they conversed for a while, Test brazenly stated that America sucks.
• Backstage:  Hulk Hogan gets to visit Vince's dressing room.  The two have words, and it seems like they will eventually be wrestling each other in the match no one is begging to see.
• Also backstage: Jamie Knoble secures himself a trusting tag team partner when he lets Tajiri steal a kiss from Nidia.
• Billy Kidman and the Hurricane defeat Knoble and Tajiri, however.  Good match, but the crowd wasn't all the way into it.  Finish had Kidman pinning Tajiri after a Shooting Star Press.
• Reverend D-Von and Deacon Bautista beat Faarooq and Randy Orton when Bautista pinned Orton.  Sounds more like a Velocity match to me....
• Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson tried to have a bikini contest but Dawn Marie interrupted (hey, I read house show results, and I thought that was Ivory's job!).  Dawn claimed to be hotter than either of them, and the end result was a catfight.  Even bikini contests are going to non-finishes!
• Hulk Hogan beat Chris Jericho, but it was by disqualification.  Jericho used a chair blatantly in front of the referee to get DQ'ed.  After the match, he kept using the chair until Edge made his big return to TV, saving Hogan from the attack.  Edge and Hogan both posed as the show ended.

Be sure to check out all three shows as they air over the next several days.  But if you happen to miss any of the action, just come on back to OO for full recaps on all the programs!
