ANKLELOCK 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2003 Great recap, as usual. I actually like this Smackdown better than ones in recent weeks. 3 good matches(one criminally short one, but whatever) and an INSANE beatdown putting Lesnar over as a heel. Cole getting ticked off was funny(althought not as funny as JR). Cole/Tazz did do a good job, though. The rest was just filler, but nothing to offensive.

Guest Goodear Report post Posted August 22, 2003 Why all the suprise over The Big Show match? Show has actually gotten himself more together than I would have ever thought possible in the last few months. Sure, he's never going to get mistaken for Chris Benoit but The Show has altered his mannerisms to make him seem a whole lot more methodical and a lot less sloppy. Anyway, its still nothing new.

Guest OnlyMe Report post Posted August 22, 2003 Nitpick of the week: Shouldn't it be "Fall Counts Anywhere" except in the case of two out of three fall matches? Depends if "fall" is referring to the winning pin, or any pin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2003 Some one on the board called it the best Big Show match ever. I think technically one of the tag matches he was in would get the nod, but one-on-one vs. another wrestler--very likely. "How convenient of Show's music to play right there after that spontaneous impromptu announcement, huh?" I always imagined the production guys have a big switchboard marked with wrestlers' names, so their music, entrance video, and so forth are all cued up and ready to go. I'd personally go with the "one full entrance per night, that's it!" thing, but bitching about it being ready seems a bit too nit-picky. And supposedly the Gowen-Hardy match is off, JHawk. I know they didn't really come out and say it...but WWE doesn't seem to really care about when or if they announce matches not deemed main attractions. Good recap, but I think something worth mentioning that no other recapper or Cole or Tazz really brought up was that Brock smeared Zach's blood onto his chest--just like monster heel Brock did after destroying and bloodying Hogan after their match. VERY cool touch. Oh, and Brock is improving with his mic skills. He isn't quite "good" yet, but considering how downright horrible he once was he's much improved. A nitpicky comment of my own..."Fall(s) Count Anywhere Street Fight"....that's a HARDCORE MATCH, VINCE!!! And the FCA part didn't really have too much affect on the match--hell, it ended in the ring, so I don't really know why that part had to be added to the rules.

Guest Goodear Report post Posted August 22, 2003 I think they've gone away from calling things hardcore matches in an attempt to stay away from the stink that was the hardcore division. Street fights have a seemingly better history about them that doesn't include Steve Blackman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
