"SmackDown opinions"

Well, for once, I actually watched the whole of SmackDown, which is something that I've not done for ages now, and I actually enjoyed it today. There were more matches than usual, and the matches were better than they have been previously. The storylines were still the same, but somehow it brings more tension back into the mix... probably because I'm now interested again.

SmackDown started off with a match between Kurt Angle and Mark Henry. It didn't last too long as that big spanner Brock Lesnar interfered and handed the win to Mark Henry through DQ. He gave Mark an F-5, though as impressive as it was, finished a good match before it should have been finished.

Next up was the Tag Team Title match between The Rock with Hulk Hogan and Christian and Lance Storm. It was rather surprising to see this match as second on the card, but it got the fans hyped up anyway. Rock and Hogan had the match won, but of course, Brock Lesnar cost them the match when he attacked Hogan and gave him the F-5. Stupid Lesnar.

Next up was Rey Mysterio's debut against Chavo Guerrero. Could we have hoped for a better match? Nope, and it did the job too. Excellent combination of high flying manouvers from Rey Mysterio mixed with the technical ability of Chavo Guerrero made for the best match I've seen in the WWE since Hurricane and Kidman vs Tajiri and Funaki 2 months ago on Metal.

Test vs John Cena were actually very entertaining to watch. Test has proved before that he can put on a good match, and rookie John Cena has a lot of talent that the WWE will need to put to good use in the future. No interference from Lesnar! *Gasps, clutching heart*

The Cage match right at the end was excellent. I'm not really a fan of either Edge or Jericho, but Jericho was actually quite good to watch today. Unfortunetly for me, Sky 1 cut a break during Chris Jericho's entrance, which is the favourite part of a match with him in it for me. Stupid Sky 1. But the match turned out to be a whole lot better. Edge winning in a race to get out of the Cage after a high impact move from each star. Then the Anti-Americans interfered and threw Edge back in, where he recieved a vicious 4 on 1 assualt, but then John Cena came out to help, and finally Rey Mysterio, who leapt off the top of the cage into a cross body on the Anti-Americans. Brilliant.

There were, throughout the show, all those little cutscenes with Stephanie and her Bischoff angle. Bischoff trying to sign Angle for SmackDown, apparently. It turned out that no-one knows who Bischoff took to RAW. Ah well, if it's Hogan I'm happy. :D

Overall, a brilliant SmackDown, and hopefully it'll attract more viewers for the WWE, or for SmackDown anyway.

Your thoughts?

SmackDown was excellent compared to what it has ben in the last few weeks.

I really enjoyed it for once.

Bah, I know, his entertainment value should be in the eighties. He may not be much of a high-flyer, but he's still a decent cruiserweight.

I think Rock's should be higher too, and Angle's and Benoit's. I think they concentrate a little too much on high-flyers on PW. But still, really looking forward to PW2. {:)

Ooh on this weeks edition he teamed with Hurricane...three count anyone? :S

*smiles in the memory of the Mean Street Posse*

They were all a bit crap really, weren't they? :D On Promotion Wars as WWA I got rid of them straight away. In fact, I've gone a year into a new game and only have Sexay, Psicosis, Guerrera, Crowbar and Dominion left from the original roster. :D

Does any body remember when Shane McMahon jumped off the top of the steel cage doing a flying cross body onto the Mean Street Posse I think ages ago on Raw, and he was interfearing.

I have not yet seen what Rey did but it sounded the same.

I thought that both smackdown and raw were good this week. Specially Rey Mysterios return. His match was great and his inteference in the cage match was brilliant. Very impressive! Who could it be who was in the limo though??? I have no idea. I mean, as that happened, quite a lot of wrestlers were in the ring such as Edge and Y2J. Could be Hogan, I suppose but I doubt it.

On Raw, I really enjoyed watching Taker Last ride Christopher Nowinski. He really annoys me! The end was quite good a well where Brock Lesnar left for Smackdown.

Oh, Thanks Cong. I haven't been watching Velocity all that much so thats why i aint seen him.

Watch Velocity tonight at 11 on Sky Sports 1, he's been on that the last three weeks running, so he is part of the Smackdown roster now
