Smackdown sounds a little bizzare, if not extremely thrown together, plus two more really ridiculously pointless and dull matches are booked for the ppv on Sunday in MVP/Ziggler (which is tolerable on weekly TV, but not on ppv) and Kane/Punk (which sounds borderline retarded since they had a horrible match on Raw that ended in one of the sloppiest finishes in recent memory).

 

Taker loses to Show via knockout? Why was this match booked and what is the point, sounded like they were wanting to blowoff that program that seemingly ended months ago?

 

Good to hear they are making a point of saying Cena/Edge at Backlash is the final match those two will hopefully ever have, as the program has significantly worn out its' welcome.

 

Smackdown main event just sounds like standard shit to say the least, just furthering teasing heat with Batista and Shane, which I think few people even care about.

 

Nothing at all to write home about on ECW either, wow I feel sorry for the poor UK'ers who went to this live with this night of "action." Sadly, the two dark matches of the evening sound better than anything.

Hornswoggle got to bite Natalya on the ass. I will be forever jealous of that tiny bastard.

Burchill gets mad props for busting out the Capture suplex

[Beto Chavez 0]

MVP vs. Ziggler at Backlash.

 

And they had to go and ruin a solid PPV lineup.

So what exactly are they going to flesh Superstars out with this week? Unless they taped some matches at the RAW tapings, then it looks like the show will have one 30 second match.

Edge vs Kofi for Superstars was at least announced during one of the RAW commercial breaks. This show sounds like crap, honestly.

What happened to Josh Matthews?

What happened to Josh Matthews?

 

I didnt even bother watching ECW after reading the spoilers, who took his place?

 

Superstars this week sounds dull with a lineup of Finlay/Hornswaggle v. Kidd/Natalya, Show/Kane v. Punk/Rey, and Kofi/Edge.

No ECW thread I guess so I'll post in here. The Bourne v Burchill match the only real match on the show so that was the best part. Glad to see Bourne get to work longer matches, and Burchill gets some TV time. Good match. The Swagger\Christian segment was ok, made it look like a serious feud and made you want to see the match. Worst part of it was Tiffany, who apparantly stole Torrie Wilson's acting skills along with her theme song.

Fortunately, a correction to make on the original spoilers for Smackdown this week........it looks like Ziggler/MVP is supposed to happen NEXT WEEK on Smackdown from Madison Square Garden, and not on Backlash. Perfectly fine by me.
