The One and Only SmackDown! thread (05/22/03)

[Guest OnlyMe]

The fallout from Judgment Day continues on SmackDown!, starting at 8/7 CT tonight on UPN!

Team Angle lost the WWE Tag Team Championship at Judgment Day to Eddie Guerrero and his last-minute partner, Tajiri, in an unforgettable Ladder Match. Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin are itching to prove that Sunday's loss was a mere fluke. They'll get a rematch against Eddie and Tajiri tonight on SmackDown!

 

Mr. America got his first win Sunday at Judgment Day, and Mr. McMahon is said to be more furious than ever. Mr. America has found an unlikely ally in a young fan named Zach. Will Mr. McMahon and Rowdy Roddy Piper come after the two full-force? Find out on SmackDown!

 

Also on SmackDown!, Chris Benoit will take on Cruiserweight Champion Matt Hardy, Brock Lesnar faces an unnamed member of the FBI, and upstart rapper Spanky will step up against SmackDown!'s freestlyin' master, John Cena.

 

It's all on SmackDown! at 8/7 CT tonight on UPN!

Well, the match listing sounds good.

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

And, as an extra special bonus, new Smackdown Intro Music! No more "Beautiful People" (Well..sorta)!

[Guest Trivia247]

heh maybe a rap version for beautiful people...

 

Marylin Manson must be tickled pale white.

Marylin Manson must be tickled pale white.

Nope, brand new song and video.

[Guest Will Scarlet]

Well, I guess I will watch the Tajiri match as it appears to be the beginning of his yearly push. Anything that gets Tajiri on my tv where he's not jobbing to some slug makes me happy.

Well...it's almost time for DownSmack...er, SmackDown!

 

How many/few pages will it be this time around?

[Guest The Bad Guy]

How many/few pages will it be this time around?

I predict three.

[Guest Lightning Flik]

First match was match of the night and was the best one so far.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Well...it's almost time...brace for impact people.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

I've said it before and I'll say it again...why does it seem like midgets operate the cameras?

[Guest TonyJaymzV1]

you think vinnie mac practices that cocky swagger at night?

Imean, it looks tough to do...

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Vince McMahon doing a recap of the past month or so...

 

WE JUST SAW SOME OF IT!

[Guest Nevermortal]

New opening?

 

Its pretty damned cool.

[Guest TonyJaymzV1]

That theme ROCKS!

[Guest wrestlingbs]

Vince: "you're going to see my fingerprints all over this show!"

 

Oh, shit.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

YES! NO MORE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! *MUCH* BETTER OPENING!

[Guest wrestlingbs]

Neat opening, but no Benoit?

[Guest TheArchiteck]

Hah new theme.

I thought it was Platinum coming on at first.

[Guest TonyJaymzV1]

must.download.that.theme

 

isnt that the Platinum music though?

[Guest mickberna]

New opening video is awesome, but the song is really weak.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Wow new opening and new graphics for Smackdown.

[Guest wrestlingbs]

This could actualy get Tajiri over.

 

Well, with the WWE. He's already over with the fans

[ChrisMWaters 0]

BTW...I like Team Angle's new singlets...I always thought that the singlets should match, like a real wrestling team.

[Guest TonyJaymzV1]

did Tajiri just screech like Xena?

[Guest mickberna]

By the way, what's the Rock doing in the intro?

[Guest TonyJaymzV1]

BTW I was watching best of super crazy and gotta say, Tajiri looked downright strange as clean shaven, clean cut hair, and short tights.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

By the way, what's the Rock doing in the intro?

I think it's because McMahon gave Rock that stipulation that Rock could go anywhere he wants anytime he wants...he can keep going back and forth between Raw and Smackdown as many times as he wants.

[Guest wrestlingbs]

Ah crap, commercial

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Commercial already? ...Raw can go damn near a half hour with no commercial (remembering the Raw I was at, LOD's debut) yet Smackdown gets a commercial more soon?
