Here's what Wade Keller said about Jibbel: "-Bradshaw came out with his new gimmick dressed up in a suit and a cowboy hat. He explained that he was going to use the change in G.M. to try to get Faarooq his job back, but instead he decided it would be better to focus on his career. He said he is now to be known as John "Bradshaw" Layfield. He talked about how he has succeeded in ways the fans never will because unlike him, they're too afraid of failure to even try. He said his portfolio has outperformed the market seven of the last seven years. He talked about his Fox News commentator position, his financial advice book, and his pending book on how to strengthen America (that should be good considering his thoughtful advice after 9-11 was to "turn the Middle East into a parking lot," as if killing millions of innocent civilians while the terrorists hid in their isolated caves would help keep America safe). He gave perhaps his best promo ever, but went on and on a bit too long. Quite a bit too long. But it was a good heel promo otherwise. He said he had been sidetracked by wanting to have a good time and drink beer, but now he was going to get serious about his wrestling career." And about the end of the show: "WINNER: Guerrero via DQ at 16:30. STAR RATING: *** -- A decent three star match, but it didn't feel great if that's the best Smackdown has to offer now. I was surprised they gave away a match they should have built anticipation for instead. Throwing it on TV right away actually cheapened the impact it could have had. It just felt like a 2002 mid-card match shoved into the main event due to a lack of options, which is what Smackdown should be avoiding right now."

YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME?!! If the WWE actually goes through this, FUCK THEM! I'm not attending this fucking PPV. Come on, everyone loves Bradshaw.

Yeah...come on now everyone, jump on the Jibbel (JBL - Bradshaw) bandwagon!

I missed it, but how did they introduce him? Still as Bradshaw?

About 6 inches and 50 pounds.

And don't forget Papa Shango and Virgil.

Oh, come on! Don't worry about match stars...go back to being a mark, it's more fun that way! DAMN THAT SELL OUT BRADSHAW! HE MUST PAY!

So are they going anywhere with the Teddy Long and Too Cool stuff?

At the very least it's NEW people getting a push...I'm enjoying Smackdown more than RAW right now, I have to say. And this show didn't even have Rey wrestle.

It kinda looks like it...though I'd rather see Booker beat Holly on PPV than get squashed by Taker.

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.

Like Reverend D-Von?

I like how Bradshaw just smiles the whole time he beats down Eddie.

I told you - no spinaroonie!

This match is really boring...

Yeah, he's still alive. He was in NWA TNA last year for a few shows.

Just for everyone's amusement...

They said it was about half full.

Booker hasn't worked as a heel in a while.

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

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.

Get ready for SLEEPERHOLD-MANIA~!~!~!

Don't tell me they're doing to go with a Booker/Holly feud...

Is he going to be able to wrestle longer than 8-9 minutes in singles matches?
