I have to say, my main man on SmackDown this week was Chavo Guerrero JNR. He's not a conventional Cruiserweight, as in he's not actually that high-flying (obviously he can though). But, I was extremely impressed by his fluidness (is that the right word?) in the ring, and the way he applied those submissions with ease. I reckon he's been wasted lately, and hopefully with addition of him, Rey Mysterio and in a few months the returning Scotty and the upcoming Shannon Moore, it should make for a fantastic Cruiserweight division.

Quite a lot of solid matches this week, the 6-man tag was exciting and I like the decision of Stephanie McMahon. Her and Eric Bischoff should be an interesting pairing, and of course I'm on her side for two reasons. One, I prefer the Smackdown brand, and two, she's hot. :D
Rock's promo with Bischoff was quite funny, although I happen to like Frasier. {:)

What do we think on the Triple H situation? I don't care all that much, but I do have a small feeling that he may join RAW and turn heel. That would be brilliant, because he's naff as a face.

Rock will always be on Smackdown, but I'm hoping they can rekindle the tag team division. I think the best way to do it would be to bring the Hardys, Buh Buh and Bradshaw over to Smackdown, and then you'd have Billy and Chuck, the Hardys, the Dudleyz, the APA, Hogan and Edge and Team Canada. Problem is, Bradshaw is Hardcore Champion and it wouldn't leave RAW in a very good situation.
Easy way out? Put the Tag Team Champions on both shows, like the Undisputed Title.

Enjoyed both shows this week, and quite looking forward to Vengeance...apart from one thing.

CHRIS JERICHO ISN'T ON THE CARD!!

I think I'm a curse on people. If I support them, they won't get a place on PPVs.

Anyway, I've bantered on enough now, and I'm off to do a massive dump.

I did think it was rather cleaver of the to put in a velocity taped match into SmackDown and class it as an 'Advert' when the flashy thing at the top of the Ramp wasn't displaying Smackdown.

Does anyone know why they decided to put the match from Velocity in during SmackDown???

Did Bischoff really give away what happened on RAW in the first few minutes of Nitro? I guess all he had to do was read the spoilers, like for SmackDown.

The Filthy animalz would be another case of re-forming old WCW factions, which doesn't work. See the nWo. I'm under the impression that Benoit and Guerrero could be teaming up for a while while Benoit gets back to his absolute best. They would make good contenders for the Tag Belts. As for a good young team, how about Cena & Orton, similar look and style and could work well as a team. Other thoughs about Smackdown, notice how much better it is than Raw? The ideas are fresher, the matches are criper, etc. I could go on all day. Paul heyman is the man in charge of Smackdown behind the scenes and he knows what works a lot better than Jim Ross his Raw counterpart.

Or maybe they could re-unite the Filthy Animals - Billy Kidman, Rey Mysterio JNR and Konnan??

If not just make a Tag Team of the Filthy Animals - Rey Mysterio JNR and Billy Kidman!

They were brilliant.

There are so many possibilites, it's just there are too many wrestlers for one company...

Maybe they could make a new Tag Team - The Guerrero's (Eddie and Chavo) Should sice the Tag Team Division up.

Shannon Moore should be good as well, he was impressive in WCW and can do some good promo's. They could even add a few more Crusierweights if they want to splash out the money on such stars as "Sugar" Shane Helms, Juventud Guerrera, Jimmy Yang (Out of Jung Dragons Faction)

Talking of Factions, they could have a Jung Dragons group like in WCW to fued with Team Canada. Thoughts?

Today's SmackDown was better than any WWE show that I've watched in a while. Chavo Guerrero did perform very well today, and when Rey Mysterio enters the WWE, we could have a nice rivalry going. Add Hurricane, Tajiri, Jamie Noble to that and The Cruiserweight division could be the main attraction.

All these new kids appearing on SmackDown all have talent. John Cena performed well against Jericho, Randy Orton can be very good andeven Jamie Noble, despite being a really bad actor, has talent in the ring.

SmackDown now just needs to bring a few characters over from RAW, drop Hogan and all should be fine.
