WWE SmackDown - November 7, 2008

[sluggo]

I wonder if Taker/Hardy Extreme will be half as good as Taker/Hardy Ladder was back in 2002.

 

probably not

 

Hardy is going to Vickie for approval of all his actions.

 

Anyway, the ladder match had drama because it was for the title and you had the whole build up of the ladder match being Jeff's favorite match. Next week will be a plunder match of Hardy getting murdered by chairs and tables and end with Jeff cheating.

Or maybe hitting the swanton from something really high up and landing somewhere the camera can't see. eXXXXXXXXXXXXXXtreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemuhhhhh!

I doubt Taker would want a staple gun to the head.

What is it with bodyguards wearing plain black tights and no kneepads? First Bam Neely, now Ezekiel Jackson.

 

Maybe they figure if Austin and Goldberg became the biggest stars of their generation wearing the plainest gear in the world , it will work for these two slugs? They're just missing the whole charisma (Austin) and right place/right time (Goldberg) aspect.

[Brett Favre]

I dunno if it was just right place right time for Goldberg. He was pretty awesome, even if he wasn't the greatest worker.

[haws bah gawd]

Yea I know. I'm not discounting the guy by any means. If theres one thing he had, it was intensity. I'm just going by what Eric Bischoff had to say about him in his "Controversy Creates Cash" book, where he proclaims Goldberg as the greatest "Right Place / Right Time" story in wrestling history.

[cabbageboy]

Wow, the booking in the UT/Kozlov match made Kozlov look weak. It makes me think that they just want this HHH feud over with and will go ahead and do the match and job Vlad out and then forget about him. They didn't even want to have UT do even a tainted loss to him.

[Twisted Intestine]

Seems like they're going to do a three way with Hardy winning (I hope).

 

If Hardy wins and Cena doesn't hog the title away from Jericho, Hardy/Jericho being champs will be like Benoit/Eddy being champs for me. Only with better outcomes.

[Psycho Penguin]

Yeah, thank god they won't put the belts on a druggie in your scenario!!

[Twisted Intestine]

Both Hardy and Jericho will live long lives despite any past/future drug use.

Hmm.. I don't know how it travels on the 'net.. Do you mean you'd prefer getting it or that you actually would rather have the extra adverts?

 

Your British accent is confusing me but rest assured I was being facetious. From what I've gathered I, you Brits have wacky advertising policies. If WWE tries to mention a brand name or an upcoming DVD during a televised broadcast, all hell breaks loose. Thus, I assume there is also a restriction on the amount of ad time during a show (and I remember you or some Brit was watching a live stream of Raw once and getting really mad at these "super long" 2.5 minute ad breaks or so). WWE only films 88 minutes or so worth of TV, so a 2 hour broadcast in the UK would need filler. Hence, a Vault Match.

 

Well the live Raw is basically the US feed so it's as is, with all the commercials. It's usually one commercial per 15 minutes here though, so Raw repeats and Smackdown get the From The Vault to make up the time. And yeah, they've now taken to editing out a lot of stuff. The Wrestlemania advert with the countdown to tickets going on sale, the clock's replaced with 'COMING SOON'. And every time someone refers to a day, like "Monday on Raw" or "last night at Cyber Sunday", they now edit out the Monday or the last night, since it's actually Tuesday morning and Monday morning respectively. Those edits are really beginning to drive me nuts though, since there's like 15-20 little blips of cut audio per show now. It's usually only a second or two of silence but it's distracting and a strange thing to bother editing.
