WWE has ruined Harry Smith's career by calling him DH Smith.

Sounds like Bret doesn't appreciate the push Vince gave him. Without Vince, Bret wouldn't be as respected as he is today. Montreal aside, Vince did wonders for Bret's career. At least give him props for getting his career shot right to the top.

Detroit says hi

But if the manipulation doesn't work, they still go with what the fans voted for.

That's what I said. Bret didn't bring his affairs on screen, but DX acted like they did on screen. I was referring to the guy who tried saying Bret should be held accountable like Shawn was for acting like that. But since Bret didn't do anything like that on screen, I really don't agree. However, Bret shouldn't be looked at as "so much better" than Shawn because he cheated on his wife. He was just smart not to bring anything like that on screen.

Banging a road rat in the back is different than a half-naked she-man coming out juggling salamis and you sporting a "Suck the cook" apron while your buddy bounces around thrusting his cotton-packed crotch at anything that moves. DX did their shit on screen, Bret didn't. It doesn't excuse him for anything, because he is still a hypocrite.

Looking back in slow motion, HBK never hit Orton with the superkick. Orton's sell made it look like a million bucks, though.

Rene Dupree and Kenzuki or whatever his name was say hello

you really are emo.

I would think the time of the football game would be moved, wouldn't it? I thought MLB had an agreement with the NFL that there wouldn't be an NFL night game on the same night at a WS game?

Not sure if this is the forum to post this, but the main reason I ask is because of all the wrestling shows that are on this channel. I hear about them a lot and was wondering when, or if, it will expand across the US. As far as I know, I think it's already available in the northern states close to Canada. I read a story saying that it should be across the US by the end of 2007, but if I remember correctly, that story was written in 2006. Is there any new information about when/if it will come to more US states?

Well, how would Meltzer know if Eddie called Batista or not? Only Eddie and Batista would know, and I'd rather believe the first-hand account than Meltzer.

I don't buy Bret was in the right here. Neither was Shawn. But refusing to do your job (no pun intended) is just unprofessional. HBK wasn't the one asked to job first. I wouldn't really side with either on this matter. Both were stubborn and ignorant at the same time.

But since Mecca states it like it is a pure fact MUST make it true.

WWE will die ever since 2001.

First match is Chuck Palombo (with Michelle McCool) against Chris Masters. Both guys do their normal entrance. Masters almost gets The Masterlock but Chuck blocks it and it was never fully put it on. CP goes for a big boot. Masters ducks and then goes for a clothesline but Chuck ducks and Chuck schoolboys Masters for the win. Afterwards, CP goes to leave on his motorcycle but Masters attacks him and puts him in The Masterlock. Masters leaves. Afterwards, CP and Michelle go to leave on foot but turn around and go out on the bike. 2 local guys, Jake Adams and Conrad?, came out with no music to face Jesse and Festus! Jesse says something about Festus not being quite right and tells the ref to ring the bell. Good back and forth stuff Jesse gets the pin after Festus throws Jesse off the top rope at the other wrestler. As they leave, Deuce and Domino come on the monitor with Jamie Noble. Noble tells D&D that he was at the bar and over heard Jimmy Wang Yang talking about Cherry, so they ran to Vicki's office and dragged Noble with them. Bret Major came out with his brother for a match with Drew Macintyre (even though the screen said Drew Halloway). I believe David Taylor escorted Drew out. Drew Macintyre won with a roll up after Bret was distracted by Taylor. Drew's entrance music is William Regal's old one.\ MVP is on the phone with someone talking about his match tonight. Matt walks in and says they need to work together to win and stop competing against one another. That match is next. MVP comes out, then Matt Hardy comes out to a pretty big ovation. Kane and Undertaker come out to big ovations as well. Kane and Matt start. Taker gets tagged in and goes for old school but Matt blocks it. MVP clotheslines Taker but he sits up and throws him in. Kane throws Matt out. Taker and Kane go for a double chokeslam on MVP but Matt pulls him out, but that causes a fight with them. Undertaker ends up getting the pin after he hits Matt off the apron. Kane and Taker corner MVP and Taker hits the tombstone on him. Tonight it's Rey against Finlay for the number one contendership. I believe that is the main event. Noble was in Vicki's office talking about Teddy and how he should be better next week. Noble said that he understood why Vicki stole Teddy's job and he bragged about how he got a match for Jimmy Wang Yang tonight against Deuce, so Vicki put him in a match against Khali, which Khali won pretty quick with the vice grip. Afterwards Deuce, with Domino and Cherry, lost to JWY after, I believe, a moonsault. After the match, D&D beat down Jimmy. Then Batista came out, pyro and all, to do commentary on the main event, Finlay vs. Rey. That's actually happening right now. JBL also said that for Cyber Sunday you can choose the special ref for the World Title match: Foley, JBL or Stone Cold. As you can image, Austin got the biggest pop. I believe Rey vs. Finlay ended in a DQ when Rey kicked the chair Finlay was about to hit him with, into Finlay's face. After that, they fought a bit until the lights went out and Taker's gong and music hit! Taker symbolized he wanted the belt and Batista held it up to a reaction he probably didn't like. -PWinsider.com. Pretty sure that's the entire set of spoilers.

He arrived to the arena when Orton was in the ring/going to the ring? That's logical. EDIT: my fault, didn't read the entire post, so I take the blame for that. But, if you don't know HBK is coming, why have a camera in the parking lot? That's some logic. Sure, they do it sometimes and not other times, this is just one of those other times.

So, why are the ring ropes red when this is a traditional Smackdown PPV?

Deleting him from history wasn't stupid because they had to do it. I don't think they intended to do it forever, just until the whole story died down to where they don't have to edit it. They don't want fans who stopped watching to come back and hear his name and then stop watching again. It's a matter of time healing all wounds.

Kennedy is blamed for not helping Cena on the hip-toss, where the injury occured. That's how Cena got hurt, it has nothing to do with Kennedy's landing. Everywhere I read said Kennedy landed awkwardly. That's why I was confused.

Nowhere in the match did it look like Kennedy was at fault for Cena's injury. Kennedy landed normally on that infamous hiptoss. Why is everyone so quick to blame him?

Yeah, it didn't seem to be at any fault to Kennedy. I like JR's comment as the match started, "Cena can't afford to be injured." It also seems like Cena is asking the ref if Randy is coming after the match. Maybe he was bracing himself.

how does 8.2.11 correspond to HBK? I'm drawing a blank.

Uhm, Kennedy isn't even mentioned in that preview.
