Everyone look out for this jobber. Plazma, face-wise, is IDENTICAL to Randy Orton.

I think I said the same thing last week, but this show is just excessively dull sounding every week on paper. And the result on TV isnt much better. I continue to be underwhelmed. I dont know if its because of their roster being so picked apart from the draft or what exactly, but nothing grabs me as entertaining, nor interesting, on this show at all.

[Spaceman Spiff]

WWE Tag Team champions Deuce and Domino defeat The Major Brothers.

This sounds like a total trainwreck. These teams need someone in there to carry the match, yet they're facing each other? Yikes.

 

Interested to see Noble/Finlay. Hopefully they got some time before Kane interrupts.

So The Undertaker has turned into the Marvel character known as The Sandman.

Glad to see that D-Lo got a dark match, D-Lo deserves it.

[spman]

Holy cow was this a bad show. No joke, this was the worst live show I've ever been to. There was NOTHING absolutely NOTHING entertaining, exciting, or enjoyable about this show, except for D-Lo Brown. The crowd was silent throughout literally 95% of Smackdown and all of ECW, in fact about 45% of the crowd left after Smackdown, and didn't even come back for ECW. Khali vs Kane was one of the worst matches I've ever seen live as well, just horrible. The majority of the "match" was Khali just putting Kane in rest holds. On the bright side, I got my picture with Balls Mahoney after the show, but it still wasn't enough so save this miserable experience.

Shit, half of the crowd left after SD? I havent seen ECW yet (its on the DVR) but I fully expect a heatless crowd then.

When did D-Lo get signed? Or was it a try out match?

[luke-o]

I'd mark out like a little bitch if D'Lo came back.

[AntiLeaf33]

I always liked the jaw-jacking D-Lo did before he did his leg drop...always thought it was a pretty cool visual

I always found people leaving before the end of a show stupid, even if it sucks. I'm pretty sure the tickets were not free, so they essentially threw their moeny away by walking out.

 

Still, sounds like a pretty shitty show all the same....

[Silence]

Smackdown has become such a hoss show with Khali, Masters, Kane, Batista, and Mark Henry on it every week. The draft has really hurt Smackdown along with the poor writing as of late.

Without Edge or Taker, Smackdown is really hurting for some main event guys who can actually work a match. Batista is losing heat and he needs to be carried to a good match, and then we have Khali who is improving, but he's still a Giant with a limited moveset.

How long was Finlay/Noble before Kane came out?

[bob_barron]

wrestlingobserver said 5 minutes.

 

D-Lo was insanely over at the Garden- it was good to see him back

It went slightly under 5 minutes, and was mostly just Finlay stiffing Noble and working the leg.

When did D-Lo get signed? Or was it a try out match?

No idea. I MIGHT find out more information next weekend (Aug 24th and 25) as he's doing a training seminar with the promotion I train with and he's also working a show for us the next night. So I'm pretty much gonna talk to him for a good part of that weekend but I'm not gonna hold my breathe about finding out more information about what happen with the WWE.

Build towards a Buried Alive match at SummerSlam.

Damn, I wish I hadn't deleted that recent NOAH show where D'Lo and Buchanan had a GHC Tag Title shot. With Buchanan and Rikio it was a pretty stale match, but D'Lo busting a splash from the top rope over the guardrail onto the announcers table on the over side was quite a sight.

Is there a internet video of this?

[Golgo 13]

I think the splash he's talking about is part of a clip video on YouTube.

 

I want a Thuggin and Buggin Enterprises reformation with Long, D'Lo and Henry.

 

 

[Hunter's Torn Quad]

*Deuce & Domino vs. Major Brothers

*Jamie Noble vs. Fit Finlay

*Shannon Moore vs. Chavo Guerrero

*Mark Henry vs. ?

*Michelle McCool vs. Victoria

*Great Khali vs. Kane in a non-title match

 

An interesting deal with McCool vs. Victoria is they did two matches at the tapings, with each going over in one. So if I have to make a bet, it's that McCool goes over on TV tonight, but we'll see. Expect some major editing in the main event, as I got several live reports saying it was one of the worst matches ever.

 

I might just tune in for the main event to see if it really is that bad.

[Black Lushus]

I haven't watched SD in ages now...they're doing UT/Henry AGAIN?

[mysterious_w]

There's a tiny clip of D'Lo's splash at 3:09 in this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ybedW0prUU.

 

Anyways, I haven't watched Smackdown in a few weeks due to their depleted roster, as I onlt want to watch MVP/Matt/Finlay. I'll start tuning back in when Rey and UT and back on full-time, doesn't look like I'm missing much.

[Wrestlefreak]

Finlay/Noble had the potential to be good if they gave it enough instead of doing the interference from Kane. The match was good while it lasted.

I'd like to see the TAKA match in it's entirety. Looked like a fun one. TAKE was always a jobber favorite of mine in the E, even when he was taking face plants in the Royal Rumble.

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Who the hell is that cat who got unmasked at the end?

Okay, that D'Lo match.. or I guess various matches spliced together? That was fucking great... seeing him take a T-Bone but roll thru to nail a Shining Wizard was just sick. Same with his splash over the rail...
