WWE SmackDown - November 14, 2008

Nice little contrast.

 

1 punch by Taker equals 20 Jeff punches.

 

...when Taker had his hair back like that, it reminded me of his "Ministry" look.

[Slickster 0]

Wow, Undertaker's still got a lot of hair (cf. Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair).

Jeff Hardy's probably the smallest guy to have ever countered Old School.

[PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0]

You'd think that anybody could counter that move, though. I mean, he's sort of at your mercy before he executes it.

[Slickster 0]

Big Show appears to have gained some weight back.

[Slickster 0]

Ladder leapfrog legdrop gets the win.

Si.

It's actually one of the dumbest moves i've ever seen for that reason. I mean the image is impressive but for the guy to just stand there, while he walks the top rope when he could very easily push him off, is just stupid. Too stupid.

 

Nice match though..but I was laughing at the flurry by hardy only to be laid out by ONE punch by the undertaker. Would have been nice also if taker had gotten into better position for the leg drop. Didn't look like the folks there thought that was the end of the match and was sort of surprised by it.

Well, Old School is supposed to start with a wristlock that prevents you from countering the subsequent top-rope axehandle.

[PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0]

I guess that's wrestling in a nutshell, though. You do shit that you would NEVER do if you were really in a fight (barring submission holds, of course).

Exactly, if somebody pushed Taker to the outside while he was in that position, all he would have to do is hold on to the arm, and it would snatch his opponents arm out of the socket.

I was thinking more along the lines of crotching him on the ropes.

I watched it and I'm digging it. It's fresh and it's walking the tweener line of the face/heel story and is working quite well. The facepaint looks very joker like but it's not a problem at all. My only thing is what the fuck is white towel thing he has shoved in his back pocket? I always see it and it's fucking stupid. Just so he has something to chuck in the crowd? Only thing is he's not very good mic-wise, tell Vickie he's gonna go Extreme on her sounded disgusting from my view point.

[Psycho Penguin 0]

It was a good Smackdown!

[TheFranchise 0]

It was a great main event, it was good seeing Hardy go over Taker.

[cabbageboy 0]

Yeah this was a good SD from what I saw, since it was delayed here due to UK's loss to VMI (ha!). Jeff vs. UT was a really fun main event and it will be interesting to see if Hardy gets into the title scene again, and if he does if they actually pull the trigger and give him the title.

[Twisted Intestine 0]

I think after losing to HHH at the last couple PPVs they needed to change his character up to make him seem like a real threat. If they give him another shot now and he loses then it's all for nothing.

That's big in the emo-rock scene. Lots of kids wear hankies or something coming out of their back pocket.

[DarKnight 0]

Hmm, maybe I should watch Smackdown next week, since this show sounds like it has some different kinds of stuff going on, with Jeff being a tweener wearing the facepaint, and from what you guys say, had a good match with Taker.

Not in any of the rock clubs I've been to in the last few years. Having your trousers halfway down your legs and your boxers pulled up high, yes. Hankies in back pockets, no. Only seen that, once, at a gay club.

 

Oh, and Raven.

I remember CRZ was all about the hanky code.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

That was Scott Keith, not CRZ.

[fazzle 0]

No, it was definitely CRZ. Looking through his recaps right now to find it.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Keith did mention it though. The bullet point of this is it's been mentioned by multiple net recappers.
