ChrisMWaters Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Is it me, or does JBL sound like Vince McMahon saying Aw Hell when he says All Hail?
BorneAgain Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Posted June 24, 2006 Its little stuff like the knee conversation between JBL and Cole which is a great example as to why Smackdown is a better product in my opinion.
BorneAgain Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Posted June 24, 2006 That's gotta be the first time Booker's busted out a figure four in forever.
Downhome Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Am I the only one here that's all for an extended Booker/Lashley feud leading all the way to feuding over the world title? How long was this match anyway?
ChrisMWaters Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 JBL is like a Bobby Heenan who could fi9ght...only not as funny.
BorneAgain Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Posted June 24, 2006 Am I the only one here that's all for an extended Booker/Lashley feud leading all the way to feuding over the world title? How long was this match anyway? Around 22 minutes I believe.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 The Dusty Rhodes DVD is available at Wal Mart? Shocking!
JustJoe2k5 Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Another monster pop for Kennedy. I can't understand why WWE hasn't given this guy a title reign.
Sly Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 That was a good match... And now we get Kennedy.
Spaceman Spiff Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Kennedy sure likes to YELL A LOT WHEN PERFORMING MOVES IN THE RING.
Exslade ZX Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Another monster pop for Kennedy. I can't understand why WWE hasn't given this guy a title reign. Because he's been injured. I'm sure he has one to come. Probaly US title before World Title though.
BorneAgain Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Posted June 24, 2006 Once Booker and Lashley are done, (and hopefully Booker's involved with Rey) Kennedy/Lashley could make a solid feud for GAB.
Exslade ZX Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Ha, Kennedy is awesome. Only man who could have a succesful feud with Tony Chimel. And for a minute there, looked like he was trying to do CPR with Funaki.
ChrisMWaters Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Kenton Bomb. Reminds me of Sean O'Haire when he had the Seanton Bomb.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Lashley I think needs to get a little more over before we launch him into the World title scene. He's over... but not as over as a main eventer.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 That's racist! Man, JBL is on fire as a commentator so far.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 JBL "..thats why we're the A show" Is there anyone that actually believes that? I mean, yeah..tonight has been miles better than RAW was, but still. Smackdown isn't even the B Show anymore with ECW now.
Exslade ZX Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Wow, I can't believe I find myself liking Mark Henry. (More so tolerating, believing him as a main eventer, then 'liking', but nonetheless) I haven't been on the bandwagon of 'SD is consistently better then RAw', what I can I say, I'm a big fan of the sports entertainment dealio, but this has been a good SD for wrestling. And a good SD overall. Just 2 matches lasting almost half the show? Wow. If it wasn't for Edge, I would be on that bandwagon. (although if they keep up with this DX crap, I'm sure I will be)
benn Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 JBL "..thats why we're the A show" Is there anyone that actually believes that? I mean, yeah..tonight has been miles better than RAW was, but still. Smackdown isn't even the B Show anymore with ECW now. In terms of in-ring product, Smackdown is definately the A show IMO.
BorneAgain Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Posted June 24, 2006 I can't believe, I'm actually liking Henry's work. Don't think he should be champion, but damn if he hasn't improved.
Downhome Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Hot damn I'm loving Smackdown, and next week we get Booker/Lashley in a cage! Who is working on the SD booking team here lately?
MarvinisaLunatic Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Nice tribute and all to Eddy, but that was the worst ending that they could have for that match. Oh, and I'm not disputing that actual in ring stuff is miles better than on RAW, but I think the term A show is more about viewer perspective than anything.
randomguy Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 WWE acts like Smackdown is the C show, but it is in fact the A show. It has veteran guys you can respect, good wrestling and a lot of it. Even things like the Leprechaun, which should be completely retarded, are actually done well. I mean I LIKE the Leprechaun! It's just so strange but it works. On Raw everything is so labored and overbaked. Smackdown is easily the best wrestling show on TV, by far.
Exslade ZX Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Nice tribute and all to Eddy, but that was the worst ending that they could have for that match. Oh, and I'm not disputing that actual in ring stuff is miles better than on RAW, but I think the term A show is more about viewer perspective than anything. I think everyone knows, Raw is "The A Show".. But of course, you will never here JBL, or any commentator/wrestler on SD go, 'This is the B (or C) Show!'...unless it's their gimmick, like Booker when he first came
Just John Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 SD again shows why it's the real A-show and the best wrestling show on television today. L/K vs. Mexicools was a solid opener and the Mexicool breakup (while not beneficial to the tag scene in any way) was well done. I'm glad they didn't go the emotional route and have Crazy try to talk to Psicosis before getting attacked from behind and beat down. Crazy just beating the shit out of him as soon as he got up was great. I suppose he'll be off to ECW, hopefully with Psicosis, because Psicosis will rot on SD without Crazy carrying him. The Booker/Lashley feud is pretty good. Those two guys have some unexpectedly solid in-ring chemistry too. This week's match was better than the last two, as it helped put over both guys. Lashley's comebacks were better-timed and more effective as well. I like the finish too, as it helps make Lashley look like more of a badass. I also like how they protected Finlay at the end. Seriously, just pick up the Lashley/Finlay feud again already. Rey/Henry wasn't great, but it was a decent enough match. The finish sucked on lots of levels, but then again pretty much any Henry match that starts off looking alright ends that way (first tv match with Taker, Benoit). Eddie's dead, stop milking it. And would it really hurt to put the freakin' WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION over somebody clean? The losing champ gig never gets anyone over. As for the bad stuff, this is where you see why SD is infinitely superior to Raw. SD has it's fair share of crap. Khali, Vito, and the leprechaun all managed to get on the show, BUT their segments were kept short and to the point. Hell, even in Vito's case, they managed to advance his character a little bit. At this point, I'm not sure which brand has more potential to be good, but SD definitely makes the most out of what they've got. Raw builds their shows around crap, while minimizing their strengths. SD minimizes the crap, while building around their strengths.
Vyce Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Totally missed this. I was watching "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves". Was the main event any good?
