That's pretty much how London got into title contention in my EWR diary

No need to bring him back. But I miss him.

Hehe, or do the same tedious year long campaign for it again.

Well.... they came close to the 1 million buys that Vince wanted.

Sean O'Haire should come back as Bradshaw's minion.

Trying to remember, waht was the first Smackdown after the drafts' card? And I don't mean the one with the "Last Call" for the APA. My memory recollects Mark Henry doing pet tricks with the rest of the roster standing around going "oooh, aaaah."

I would mark for that, but alas... Simmons is gone. Unless this turns out to be a work, like all smarks seem to think everything is these days (Smackdown being uninformed of reset, Lesnar leaving).

Oooooh, eerie! That's great. I know. I drink to that!

Yeah, what's up with that? Is he going to randomly show up on Raw come Monday night? And my 1,600th post. I'm happy.

This show did succeed in being refreshing. Not everything clicked, but this was much better than the first Smackdown after the initial draft.

I agree with all about the quality of the promo. However, something tells me this smark love will disappear once he wrestles again and we all get a good reminder of why we don't like him. Or maybe he'll carry himself differently now with the new gimmick? We'll just have to wait and see. I think Smarks will bitch since he's not really a WRESTLER...but he might be able to play a heel well and just beat the crap out of the face, getting him heat. I don't know what length of matches he can do, but I guess we'll see. Yes, I cannot imagine Bradshaw being able to handle a 15-20 minute main event match for a ppv. I can imagine the Undertaker's JD match getting the main event slot with Guerrero and Bradshaw getting a nice little 5-10 minute match, that will probably expose Bradshaw anyway. The next two months are going to be interesting to say the very least.

Oooooh, eerie! That's great.

I noticed that too, it was great! That run-in by Bradshaw just confirmed my interest in the character.

I don't know, his matches with Mark Henry were pretty awesome

I hate Booker T because he doesn't do the spinaroonie. Now I'm going to go read Smackdown magazine. [/mark]

I've been too busy posting to really notice. I think Eddie/Triple H on Raw was a better match (though I was more into it out of fear of HHH potentially winning the title).

*nod* Me too. Of course, Vince is the genius, not us. Oh yes, I keep forgetting. I'll never be smart enough to realize why Lesnar/Holly, Katie Vick, and HLA were good ideas.

I thought he was briefly on TNA last year during the time period where I wasn't paying attention to them?

You can tell it's a half empty arena. There is hardly any noise from the crowd. You know... if I had been the one in charge, I would have built up this Guerrero/Booker match for the PPV and I would have put Bradshaw in a mid-card feud for JD. This way if we absolutely had to have a Bradshaw main event, he could have had some time to "earn" it and the Eddie/Booker match wouldn't have been blown on Booker's first night on Smackdown.

I agree with all about the quality of the promo. However, something tells me this smark love will disappear once he wrestles again and we all get a good reminder of why we don't like him. Or maybe he'll carry himself differently now with the new gimmick? We'll just have to wait and see.

Yeah... RVD doesn't seem to give a shit. I mean, he even cared about Kane when he was going through his heel turn. At least Booker hasn't handcuffed him and poured gasoline all over him yet. That would have been cool though. Maybe Booker T should start wearing a mask.

This cannot be true! That would not draw for shit unless Bradshaw becomes MEGA over in the next two months. What the fuck.

Those lyrics would probably have boosted sales.

Paul London is Rick Rude v.2 LoL. London's career is on the rise! Anyone hear if he's on Velocity this week or not? Nope, he's not. I think the matches are: Jindrak vs. Jobber Holly/Gunn vs. Akio/Sakoda Rikishi/Scotty vs. FBI And MAYBE Noble vs. Rico Well, that's a bloody shame. I don't usually bother with Velocity at all unless I think London will be involved.
