Early Smackdown Taping (*Spoilers*)

[Guest nokia]

How long do you think Juvi get's to keep his finishing move before wwe call's it "too dangerous of a move" and have him do other moves instead ?

[Guest Ransome]

Man, it kind of undermines the whole 'every member of WWE roster is eligible to be drafted!' when four main-eventers have been drafted. Not that I'm condoning a Todd Grisham (or some such) switch, but at least it would make it seem like the whole thing isn't rigged.

 

Are they really going to use the Orton-Undertaker rematch so soon? I can imagine it creating that much interest. Who cares enough to see Orton pin the Undertaker? (that is, if UT doesn't merely put him over a la Jeff Hardy ladder match style of 2002)

[Guest Teckneek]

here is what's gonna happen(i predicted this before they even made the triple threat match at vengeance.) Christian will win John Cena's WWE Championship at the PPV, then be drafted to Smackdown! on Thursday. Cena will wan't his custom belt back, and since trades can be made within 24hours of the draft, cena will be traded back to smackdown. The WWE belt will be back on SD! around Christians waiste, I'll put money on it.

[Dark Age 0]

Cena isn't dropping the WWE title, and he's not losing to Christian, at least not this soon. Winner of Trips/Batista goes to SD. I think Triple H, as it's unlikely he'd lose THREE PPV matches to the same guy, and SD needs their new top heel after losing Angle (Orton doesn't count).

 

I like that they're continuing the Orton/Taker feud, but they have gone about it pretty shitty. It just so happens that Taker returns on the night Orton is drafted? Yeah, right. They need a slow build now, though. HIAC would be the perfect blowoff for this, but God knows that Trips/Batista needs it.

 

Why waste Taker's first pinfall loss in more than 18(!) months on a SD main event with JBL? JBL will be no better or worse for this match, same as Taker.

 

I think the Crazy/Psicosis tag won't air.

 

Juvi debuting on Velocity sucks.

 

I called Cade to SD, and I'm sticking to that after seeing him in the dark match. Best to team him with Jindrak again, and get another tag team, but Cade/Rhodes could be a fun team, actually.

 

They shouldn't split the Bashams, or break uo the Cabinet. I don't have faith in them to push Doug or Danny as an individual, so it would be better to keep another tag team ih the ranks. It would be cool if, say, JBL got Jindrak/Cade to replace the Bashams, whothen want their jobs back, and then they feud, blah blah blah.

 

Benoit/Doug could be way good, but I doubt it will go more than five. Benoit going over via rollup? Lame. Make him look strong, geez.

 

London/Eddie pleases me. Even as a 3 minute squash I'd expect it to be better than most stuff. The fact that it is a squash sucks though. They could have made London look great here. London and Rey vs. Eddie and Chavo would rule. The aftermatch brawl seems decent. Establishing over finishers is great.

 

I don't know what to make of the Heidenreich crap. Does Eugene go to SD and become friends with Heidi, leading to a feud with MNM? Yuck.

[Dark Age 0]

And a Booker/Carlito feud is shit. Why do it? You either job Carlito out AGAIN, or make Book look like a loser AGAIN. Book and Show vs. Carlito and Morgan? No thanks. They should have saved Taker's return for GAB to team with Show, then start the Orton feud the following SD.

 

Why is Holly/OJ on SD? I have no interest in it. What's Holly done to earn a title shot? Why not hae another MNM/Holly and Haas match? Or just do Haas/OJ, which would maybe have a chance at being ok.

I'll be watching for the Eddie/London match, squash or no I agree, this should be a fun short match.

 

Heidenreich/Eugene would automatically be my 2nd favorite tag team of all time (Killer Bs own all). Where has Eugene been? Injured?

[Dark Age 0]

Yeah he did something to his knee at New Year's Revolution. And I meant "other" moves, btw.

Except Angle has not been portrayed as the top main event heel for a while. That honor goes to JBL. So they CAN afford losing a broken down wrestler like Angle.

Awesome use of Benoit here. I'm already glad he's away from Benjamin, Jericho, Edge and Christian. Who needs them when you can work handicap matches against the fuckin Bashams?

[reign 0]

Sometimes it's difficult to tell what some of you would actually like to see with the current rosters....you can't leave everybody on Raw...I for one would be more than happy with a SD! main event of:

JBL

Benoit

Orton

Eddy

Rey

-there's fresh feuds there if they don't continue to hot shot everything by summers end(which they will)...

-Angle is great but has to be getting close to retiring or taking another break but I'm glad he's on Raw to shut HHH up...I hope they both stay heels but continue to hate each other...

-And don't most of us all love Jericho and Christian? Then why is the WWE championship match considered a mid-card match...I hope that the three of them bring the house down...

-And there's going to be at least one guy who get the post-draft Shelton/JBL push...probably Rob Conway...

-Orton has to come out and do that to the UT...he hates him remember?

I'm hoping that Benjamin and Jericho (yeah, he's in a WWE title match on Raw, but I think he could still be eligible for a draft after that's over with) get drafted to Smackdown to get away from HHH, unless he decides to jump to Smackdown with them if he wins the World Heavyweight title at Vengeance.

 

The last time I saw Benoit on Raw, he was dealing with Tomko, Edge, and Snitsky. A Benjamin/Benoit match on Raw wasn't in any of WWE's plans, sadly enough. Jericho and Benoit already had their mini-feud earlier this year on Raw, with their match in Japan being disappointing due to the short amount of time WWE gave it and the WWE style.

 

After reading the spoilers on Smackdown, though, you're right. Benoit's on Smackdown just to have matches with The Bashams and deal with an assholish Eddie Guerrero in the same lockerroom? What the hell?!

[natey2k4 0]

You know what would be cool.... next week Christian or Jericho gets drafted to Smackdown (preferably Jericho, because I want more Cena/Christian). That way Theodore Long and Smackdown can be routing for Jericho to bring the title home to Smackdown.

 

When Jericho doesn't win, he could come to Smackdown with Long as well as the rest of Smackdown hating him for not only he's non desire of the business but because he couldnt win the big one for them.

So I'm guessing Orton / Undertaker III for The Great American Bash.

Sure, if they want to trot out an injured wrestler to face an aging one....

Wasn't UT scheduled for hip replacement surgury or somethin' like that?

[Silence 0]

Yes. Which is why the Undertaker/Orton match (if it happens) at The Great American Bash might be shitty this time due to The Undertaker not being able to do much because of his bad hip.
