Another great episode of Smackdown this week. Every match was solid to great for unhyped tv matches, the non-wrestling aspects were short and effective, commentary was great, and most importantly, all of the storylines actually progressed and a few new ones even started. It's hard to believe that the same company that has been producing SD for the past few months has also been producing Raw over the same period. I honestly can't wait till next Friday to see how the build towards No Mercy shapes up.

Awesome double spear by Lashley to Regal and Finlay. If anyone is still maintaining that he sucks and is worthless they're obviously either an idiot, don't watch SD, or both. EDIT: Oh my god, Finlay just set the leprechaun on Michael Cole.

Yeah, its amazing with the amount little comments here and there every week on SD it takes a joke about his late friend on PPV to get heat.

JBL: It looks like our tag team division, which up to this point consisted of one team, just became highly competitive. They should get Finlay/Regal in on this too, even if its only partially while they're with King Booker.

Yes, you should.

Holy shit. JBL would rather see Star Jones in a thong, topless, in his bed, than watch the Miz's debut next week. The crowd is sitting on their hands too. Miz needs to turn heel very quickly when he realises nobody thinks he's cool.

That's pretty damn random of you.

Cole, JBL and Gregory Helms are really talking up Kennedy and Matt Hardy, saying they're both main eventers waiting to happen. JBL thinks Gregory Helms should step up a weight class because there are no more cruiserweights for him to fight.

Cole: I'd like to be a knight. JBL: You'd like to be a knight? Cole: Yeah.. JBL: I tell you what I'll do, I'll make you my queen. I see a 'JBL is a Commentary God' sign too.

The king has spoken.

I think I'll save my money for the Pillman one.

I thought repackaged Roadkill was debuting on Raw within weeks.

I don't think we'll see Goldberg anywhere near a WWE ring again.

Luke is Jesus. Vader is next to him on the right.

Don't get me started on that. At SummerSlam the only titles defended were the WWE/World/ECW championships.

*You fucked up chant*

I want to see Marvin lay the smack down on somebody

I wonder if the dragon in that poster is supposed to be a reference to Batista's back tattoo as well as the whole King Booker medieval fairy tale thing.

I'd say there's more than a good chance that the only ECW originals you'll see will be RVD/Sabu/Sandman/Dreamer. Maybe the FBI and someone like Justin Credible if you're lucky.

Still the Spirit Squad. i know they're invoking the "Freebirds Rule", but which two are the technical champions? All 5 are the technical champions. If you mean which 2 were in the match that won the belts, then that would be Kenny and Mikey.

Zack is getting all warmed up.

Agreed.

Oh man, I love it.

And he said 10 years, not 40.
