Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2008 So is Foley officially gone with Tazz doing color with JR ? Officially, Foley is selling the attack from Edge. In reality, Tazz will be a permanent replacement if Foley doesn't get talked back into returning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike wanna be 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2008 Is Vickie supposed to be the face in all of this? I hope not, anybody with half a brain can see she brought it upon herself in trying to be a vengeful bitch to Edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope not, anybody with half a brain can see she brought it upon herself in trying to be a vengeful bitch to Edge. You're right but she's being a vengeful bitch to someone who cheated on her then married her, but I think Vickie is a much better heel. She knows how to get a lot of heat. (no pun) Another Smackdown that ends with a promo? Seriously? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2008 Ryan Riddick/Braddock is developmental Jay Bradley. It's uncertain if Goldman was enhancement talent, or a debut. I actually hope if was the former because the name sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silence 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2008 What happened to the Edge cheated storyline? Is the wedding planner still around? The reporter must have called the wedding planner Victoria by mistake due to the name change to Alicia Fox. Although if it's the wrestler Victoria, it won't make sense.

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2008 I want to see Zeke and Kendrick become tag champions... They have the potential to become a HBK/Diesel combo! Which means Paul London was the Marty Jannetty of their wannabe Rockers tag team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2008 It definitely seems like WWE has always favored Kendrick over London, much like HBK over Jannetty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2008 You know, in the Hard Justice thread I took a bunch of crap for saying TNA has better actual in ring wrestling than WWE (certainly not booking), but take a look at the results of this show and the comments attached. Smackdown in particular has a plethora of ultra boring, plodding wrestling on it. It's not as noticeable on Raw, since they run stuff at you so fast in 3 min. matches that you can't be easily bored. I think the biggest problem I have with SD is the matches all tell the EXACT same story. It's nothing but "heel dominates 90% of the match with headlocks, armbars, matwork, whatever." I'm sorry but this stuff is just boring to watch ad nauseum for 2 hours. There's more than one story you can tell in a match, and having guys like Brian Kendrick out there doing plodding matwork as an unconvincing (yet dominating) heel isn't all that exciting.
