I think it is awesome. Like I said previously, 1000x better than their last video, which was just plain HORRIBLE.

Well, I thought it was a GREAT show that really helped introduce people to Smackdown if they were tuning in for the first time. It had the vibe of the first SNME of this year, where people were introducing each other and we got good progress in the big feuds going on. I really enjoyed the intro... but really, ANYTHING could have been better than the very badly-done intro and graphics that were there before. Which means I really dug the new graphics too, period. Overall I couldn't really complain about this show at all, since complaining about no new set this week is rather futile (supershow). I sure hope we get a new one next week. I know I'll be watching. 8-)

no way dude. They had a match on Raw in 2001 that BLEW US ALL AWAY. It was fucking amazing. It was on the same Raw as Trish/Rock vs Dudley's, if I remember correctly. I am totally honored to have had the chance to see themface each other live, and in a great match. Anyway to contribute to the thread, Edge v Christian never really tore up the house.

I really really like Justice. How has it been doing ratings-wise so far? In reality, ALL of Fox's Mon - Wed lineups have been pretty great, IMO. Hopefully Justice does stick around, and this past weeks snag in ratings could be explained as competition from CW's Top Model premiere. *hopeless Eamonn Walker fan*

Well that fucking sucks. JBL is a pretty big loss of a talent for the SD brand, not only as a wrestler, but moreso now as an announcer. I'd say SMackdown has the best pbp team out of the three brands ever since JBL joined Michael Cole. Who the hell are they going to get now? Nobody brings the funny OR the goods like JBL has.

really? I thought there was some sort of difference between network ratings and cable ratings (or so I thought I read). I remember a while ago (a REALLY long while) where someone pointed out that while Raw had a bigger rating, more people were watching Smackdown. I think that was around the time of the Eddy/Rey storyline. Besides, SD has slowly been dropped everywhere by big market areas due to the CW switch. I sure hope they start off strong today!

I hope that whatever Teddy has in mind for Cena has to do with some sort of start to building up Survivor Series. What else could it be?

well... having not read the spoilers, I sure hope this Smackdown is a good one. Bummer that it had to be taped at a supershow, since something like a new set would have made the premiere on a new network pretty cool. heh, acting star.

alright.. I am VERY interested in this magical 2.xx stream website, so gimme a helping hand Downhome!!

sadly, I don't think it will, just based on the fact that it's WWF No Mercy, not WWE... unless that's somehow okay?

I am just fucking glad Vincent is gone. It took way too long to kick him out. and yeah, I watch too :-[

Christian Troy and Sean McNamara from Nip/tuck.

...there's Smackdown torrents?? ...WHAT!

mmm definitely. I guess it depends, at first, on the kids you happen to live with/near. I was in a building FULL of strange extroverts with a sprinkling of introverts, and everyone was a big messy family all freakin year. At the exact same time, my HS buddy was in a building with quiet, shy, very closed in folk. Yeah he made friends, but not like he would have. Overall, after freshman year you start hanging more and more with kids you have classes with and do activities with... but I have yet to experience not meeting people, ever. The environment truly does make a difference sometimes.

wow... I really wanna play... that's all we little kids would do once we were done with some schoolwork. We would all rush to the big ass Macintosh's in our class and play Oregon Trail, and see who could ferry the damn horses over the deep rivers. ahhh.. how we would always fail

man, why the &$##@ did I highlight the spoiler? anyway.. I thought last night's episode was a good one, if a little semi-predictable. The only reason I say that is because from day one, the show has been about Sean and Christian's relationship with one another.. and I guess this just seems like the unspoken thing between them that someone (the psychologist) finally just says out loud. I'm excited for this season =)

*PRAYS Smackdown is shown in Los Angeles*

all these "fantasy" booking ideas aside, I think all Smackdown really needs is one good trade from Raw, a new set, and it will be good to go. As it is it is great, but as always things could be better.

buuuut...but.. DOR series >>>>>> SD series

describing Steiner like you just did made me realize his character is more awesome than I thought.

holy fuck. Didn't honestly expect it to happen. But I am sure glad it did... however - doesn't this also mean that they can't stop him from wrestling and still destroying himself? It almost seems like a double-edged sword to me.

and that is pretty telling about the current way titles are represented. It would take a long look back at the IC title's history to see where it began to look... like less.

sweet heaven. I have no real word to express my thoughts on that poster.

board crashed (see the first few pages... as you can tell from there)

you know, I really love the DOR engine, because it's almost exactly the ol N64 AKI one. It really is. And if it aint... then my memory has gone haywire and does not care
