"Let's go Angle" chants. These people love the heels.

Luther Reigns is PIMPED OUT! Hopefully this is awesome.

Dudleys d. Rey/London/Kidman Kane d. Hardy Cena d. Booker Edge d. Jericho and Batista

Great video package for Eddie and Kurt.

I actually like Edge. I think he needs to be a heel DESPERATELY, though.

Edge vs. Jericho vs. Batista: The crowd just totally shits on Edge here, chanting "We want Christian" and booing him like crazy. Lots of nearfalls, with Jericho getting the Walls on Edge, and Jericho getting a roll up on Edge for 2. Edge wins it with the spear on Jericho at 9:00. This match showed what a difference a hot crowd makes. I think it's clear they have to turn Edge heel now. **1/2

At least Edge reacted to the boos with a smirk, that was good.

Wow, these people HATE Edge!

Bischoff said Teddy would be gone by the next PPV, Survivor Series. Long said he would sign any RAW superstar who was sick of Bischoff.

Jericho is getting the biggest pop of these three. Still a dead crowd though.

Booker T vs. John Cena: Crowd is pretty dead. Cena hits the Throwback early on. Harlem sidekick by Booker, into a chinlock. Booker hits a spinebuster. He hits a flapjack on Cena and does the Spinaroonie but Cena hits the FU for the win at 5:45. Boring match. *

The crowd is really dead. And this match isn't exactly setting the world on fire yet.

Cena has to win this, right? Have to have SOME faces win tonight...and Booker can always win matches 2 and 3 on Smackdown.

Yeah, Hardy took it really well. I like Matt a lot, I hope he gets a big push when he comes back.

Great post.

Kane vs. Hardy: Matt uses a first rope side effect, a guillotine leg drop, and a tornado DDT early. Kane comes back with the usual. Hardy hits a cross body over the top to the floor and then a Twist of Fate on the floor. Matt used the ring bell and got 2. Kane countered another Twist of Fate to a big boot. Cool spot where Kane chokeslams Matt off the top rope for the win at 6:30. Matt worked really hard in this match, especially with the condition his knee is in. **-ish probably.

Nope, I was in the bathroom...what?

Pretty decent end to the match. Dudleys win it after a 3-D to Kidman at 8:00. Story of the match is how Spike is now the "boss" of the Dudleys. **1/2 Of course it was obvious the Dudleys would win after Michael Cole said "this was is gonna be over!" after Misterio hit the 619.

Crowd seems dead early on.

I thought it was okay, but I've liked a lot of others more. Nice that they covered the majority of the matches, though no mention of the six man. Six man tag is first, though!

Well I decided to get the webcast, we'll see how it is. Hopefully the show is decent.

Not on the list, but Masato Tanaka and Mike Awesome click about as much as you possibly could.

If Heidenreich interferes in the Taker/JBL match, what are the odds that he completely botches things? He'll probably run in and have to kick Taker, but botch it and fall on his ass. But who knows... Anyways, I haven't watched Smackdown in several months. How have they been building up Heidenreich? Is he going to have some old gimmick like so many other guys on SD recently?

I might order the webcast, but $35 is pretty steep. With those bonus matches, do you get to download and keep them or just watch them for a week and that's it? And is it even possible to share webcasts anymore?

Wait a second...the HHH/Hogan finish was changed DURING the match?
