Just a question on the ethics of posting non spoilers:

 

If a match is made for later that night, wouldn't posting that match be considered a spoiler of sorts? Not so much as in this week's SD, but if Teddy Long booked a WWE Title Match as the ME of the night at the top of the show, would posting what the match is be considered a spoiler since it wasn't booked until after the show started?

 

EDITED

 

Not trying to start anything, I'm just curious.

I edited it, though I'm not sure exactly what the rules are...Mods?

Listing a match isn't really a spoiler. It gives someone a chance to watch the show for a big match, instead of being in the dark on it and kicking themselves for not seeing it. As long as it's not like a Mystery Opponent type thing, I don't see anything wrong.

I wouldn't think it would be a spoiler if say Long booked a WWE title match at the top of the show between JBL and Booker T. But I DO think it would be a spoiler if he booked a WWE title match between JBL and a mystery opponent who turned out to be a returning Rikishi or something like that. That's how I see it. Though I doubt anyone is going to watch the show to see the guy Kurt Angle ends up wrestling, so this week's Smackdown isn't a big deal in that way.

 

I wasn't sure how to post TNA listings a few weeks ago though when the main event was Styles/Hardy vs. Jarrett/Petey but there was an oncard angle where Hardy got attacked and Killings was put in his spot. How do you list it then?

[Guest LooneyTune]

Thats a tough one...best judgment will either go the route of...

 

a. The original match in question

 

b. wrestler A & substitution for Jeff Hardy (without saying who)

 

c. Wrestler A & the person replacing Hardy period

 

I'd probably go with A, because someone will probably bitch about knowing that someones taking so-and-sos place.

1) Billy Kidman vs. Chavo Guerrero...looks pretty good

 

2) Heidenreich vs. Charlie Haas...I don't think Charlie can carry John to a watchable match. Usual squash.

 

3) Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree vs. RVD and Rey Misterio (non title)...the Smackdown titles are so far down the crapper right now I always forget who the champs are till someone tells me. They're the champs and I can't even remember the last time they were on. Could be a watchable match at best.

 

4) Kurt Angle does a "hometown challenge"...meh

 

5) Carlito vs. John Cena (US title)...could care less really. I'm starting to like Carlito, but I hate guys getting pushed to main events without doing anything, and I'm pretty tired of Cena.

 

Looks like another less than great Smackdown.
