YEAH...RIGHT...

 

Ok, what happend on smackdown?

 

Simple... they didnt keep up with the perfectly Acceptable Wrestling (well they did, but the booking brought out the SAT (aka, the Mexicools) to the cruizer stage-which, mark my words if nothing changes after the ECW PPV or Vengence PPV-the former good, the other bad news, the cruser division will be something to watch for. Of course, is the longest running title on The Brand.)

 

And guess who came?

 

Hassan. (Oh great)

 

He begins his streak on smackdown...over the Big Show. And he is apart of the new six man tornado match, for the world title. A NEW world title. The Smackdown world title.

 

Ok, is it me, or I am sensing a Unified Title over at Raw? That would end the true brand split- and Smackdown will have to start (not like Raw did, because in the kafabe world- the Raw World Title is the WCW title) from scratch.

 

But what scared me most of about tonight? The Main Event Match between Eddie and Rey. This match should have been a LOT better. Eddy looked SLOW in certain parts. Rey (I never believed it if I could) carried the match. Even though Rey has a bad wheel. What's with Eddie? Even on his bad days, he was never slow.

 

So... Smackdown was better this week...but not by much...

 

Raw Matches

Shelton Benjamin © vs. Carlito

(Bullcrap win)

Viscera vs. Simon Dean

(Squash)

John Cena © vs. Mohammed Hassan

(Didnt even give him time! BIG DUD)

Kurt Angle vs. Batista which lead to:

HHH and Kurt Angle (w/Ric WHOO Flair) vs. Shawn Michaels and Batista

OH HELL NO...Very Badly Booked.

 

Smackdown Matches

 

Joey Mercury (w/Nitro and Melina) vs. Heidenreich

(Not bad from Heidenreich, which if you think about it-is shocking, but no more than *) (Addendum- Melina came in to OVW as to train, but she became a very comptent manager, this deals with the match next week with Michelle McCool-where as Both Nitro and Mercury dont believe she can throw down...)

 

One fall for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship of the World: Chavito Guerrero vs. Paul London

(No Winners, as the Mexicools arrive, The Juice (Juventud Guerrera)- Super Crazy, and Psicosis interfere)

 

One issue about the draft that J-Hawk stated on his review:

 

How can Daivari and Hassan both come over at the same time? Cole and Tazz briefly speculated that they must be a package deal, but after making a big deal that Sharmell of all people could be drafted solo and that tag teams could be broken up, how can you justify anybody being a package deal? If Daivari was just a manager, I might be able to buy it, but since he wrestles part-time, I don't know how you can justify it.

 

Unless Smackdown has already used the final weeks draft pick setup- I dont see how it would work. If they did, then this week's draft pick setup will be picked next week.

 

Muhammad Hassan (w/Daivari) vs. The Big Show

UGH... UGLY MATCH.

 

Eddy Guerrero vs. Rey Misterio Jr.

 

This match could have been a LOT better. 3 and 3/4 stars. There is a problem with the WWE style...and it is speed. If it was just a bit faster, maybe it could go up there. There a reason why Benoit Vs Lesnar was the best match in nearly several months before that even better Triple Threat Match at WM20- It was fast, clean and Vince's style worked when speed is used. When hardly any speed is used, your going to have to use ground based take downs...If this was no DQ, it might have been better because of the slower pace. Now dont get me wrong, a slower pace match I like more than a faster match where no idea of telling the story. And it doesnt help if Eddy looks out of it.

 

Here is some other items of note...Rhyno is going to Zero-One Max... he might be facing Tanaka if that takes place... The Voodoo Murderers Storyline continues over at AJPW- Taka has asked Chono for help to take care of them... Kojima vs. Mutoh (Triple Crown) and Kawada vs. Miyamoto is a match set for July 26 as well... There is plans for a new Joshi league- Michinoku Joshi starting in 2006...will Ofune be there? TNA is heading to Spike TV in October, so by that time, we will know who is carring the torch of the ECW Leagacy by then, this is parly the help of the UFC (because BOTH Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz has had better relationships with TNA and pretty much, both promotions can feed off of each other to the Top IMO)
