Guest Hotbutter Spoontoaster Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Don't miss the Season Premiere of Smackdown on CW! Tonight marks the long-awaited premiere of Smackdown on the CW Network. The program that is changing Friday nights will make the transition in grand fashion as Smackdown brings a huge night of action to the CW Network. Cena to make Smackdown appearance. New WWE Champion and Raw superstar, John Cena will make a special Friday night appearance to personally thank General Manager Theodore Long for the Smackdown contract offer. WWE.com has learned that Long has something special in mind for the visiting Champion. Challenge from the grave. WWE.com has also learned that Vito has voluntarily surrendered his opportunity at King Booker's World Heavyweight Championship tonight. Instead, the dress-wearing fan-favorite has passed the match on to the legendary Undertaker. What will happen when "The Deadman" makes a rare Smackdown appearance and enters King Booker's Royal Smackdown Kingdom at the huge CW premiere? Bitter family fued continues. We also know that Rey Mysterio will face Chavo Guerrero tonight. Last week, the Chavo-Vickie business partnership once again found a way to distract the downtrodden Mysterio. Rey looked as though he was finally back on his game when he entered the arena with his son, Dominick. However, when he saw Chavo and Vickie enter his private locker room where Dominick was watching the match, Rey's smile gave way to an apprehensive stare and United States Champion Mr. Kennedy capitalized on the distraction to score the win. Will Chavo and Vickie still be in Rey's head this week on CW? Can Rey finally settle the score when he meets Chavo in the ring for the first time since SummerSlam? "The Animal" to kickoff CW premiere. Also, former World Heavyweight Champion and CW acting star Batista will open the CW premiere. What will "The Animal" have to say on his first night in his new home? World Heavyweight Title Match King Booker (with Queen Sharmell) .VS. Undertaker. SummerSlam Rematch Rey Mysterio .VS. Chavo Guerrero (with Vickie Guerrero).
LJSexay Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 I hope that whatever Teddy has in mind for Cena has to do with some sort of start to building up Survivor Series. What else could it be?
The Tino Standard Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 I hope that whatever Teddy has in mind for Cena has to do with some sort of start to building up Survivor Series. What else could it be? A one-shot deal done for no other reason than to cheaply inflate SmackDown's rating on its first night on a new network? Nah........
Guest Hotbutter Spoontoaster Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Smackdown hasn't beaten ECW in the ratings in over 2 months...I wonder if they'll do it tonight.
LJSexay Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 really? I thought there was some sort of difference between network ratings and cable ratings (or so I thought I read). I remember a while ago (a REALLY long while) where someone pointed out that while Raw had a bigger rating, more people were watching Smackdown. I think that was around the time of the Eddy/Rey storyline. Besides, SD has slowly been dropped everywhere by big market areas due to the CW switch. I sure hope they start off strong today!
JustJoe2k5 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Anyone else get the Saturday afternoon replays of Smackdown? When did they start doing that?

Conspiracy_Victim Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 God, Booker's character should irritate me but it still makes me laugh. The new opening does not offend me. It may stay.
ChrisMWaters Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 New opening, same theme, new cryons... New set next week?
Hawk 34 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 It's been almost 3 months since they had Smackdown here (and they buried this network between the on-demand channels and porn stations) I missed JBL, alot.
ChrisMWaters Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 So...what was that all about? Since Trish is gone, just move Jillian to Raw to compete.
Papacita Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Possible Stupid Question Alert: With Dominick being involved in this whole Guerrero storyline, have they made any reference to the "I'm your Papi" angle from last summer?
Conspiracy_Victim Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 That's right JBL, no one should worry about us internet nerds! Just because we care about the product and all that.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Hardy cheats to win?? Nice one. I wish they'd let Helms bust out the Vertebreaker once in a while. Just against guys near his size. Let him keep the Shining Wizard for the big guys.
Guest GeeseGeese Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 I hope The Miz swallows a knife
ChrisMWaters Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Will all these Red Rooster references lead to Terry Taylor managing Miz?
Ed Wood Caulfield Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 So is Miz an annoying heel or an annoying face?
Conspiracy_Victim Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 So is Miz an idiot face, or is he a heel playing face and neither of the announcers realize it?
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 I think Miz has potential to be a crazy, "MTV-Rock Star" heel. And Chavo raped Rey?
Guest netslob Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 So is Miz an annoying heel or an annoying face? according to the crowd, and annoying heel.
ChrisMWaters Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 You know what I'm worried about? How much longer till the Gymini make their return, if they do?
Hawk 34 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 You know what I'm worried about? How much longer till the Gymini make their return, if they do? It's too bad that F.B.I and Doane/Jeter are stuck in nothingness because they could make this division perfect. I really think they should just ship Doane/Jeter and repackage them to Smackdown and unify the two tag belts and make Smackdown the home of TAG TEAM WRESTLING. Let Raw claim to be the home of the woman's division by sending Jillian over there.
Spaceman Spiff Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 I still want a Conway/Palumbo team.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 I'm glad Terkay confirmed who he was. I'd hate to think that Elijah was lying to us and that this was Sylvester's evil twin brother.
ChrisMWaters Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Face Sylvan. That's scary at times.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 That match sucked. And why the fuck does SYLVAN of all people go over in his hometown when seemingly everyone else in the company jobs in his hometown?
Hawk 34 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 Sylvan Vs Hogan. Book it, Vince. Montreal would explode with that match.
Guest GeeseGeese Posted September 23, 2006 Report Posted September 23, 2006 If only the WWE could manufactuer another wrestler who was that over...everywhere
