"SMACKDOWN Thread"

Same as the RAW thread. You all seem to think it's a good idea so I made a smackdown thread. Just discuss what happens on smackdown, week in, week out. Remember NO SPOILERS but if you really have to post one, make sure you give everyone a chance to watch the show.


P.S. Lets keep this different from Your Shout.

i'm still amazed that heidenreich is over in any way!

i want to see him do well as he comes across as a pretty cool guy who clearly enjoys what he does.. he's just not too great in-ring yet :(

i think he works better as a face though, he's a little too goofy as a heel.

I thought Smackdown was really poor this week

The main event was overly predictable, and the whole stupid idea of 'fining' JBL if he gets involved...considering he is always saying how rich he is it wouldnt bother him and because he was shouting down the mic during the match he became as annoying as RAW's Daivari. Earlier on when JBL made Scotty say he quits, that was just plain boring as well.

As for Kurt Angle, they are basically making him look like a joke. I would much rather he be in the contendership for the WWE Title and Sharmelle can fondle JBL if she wants to. Angle deserves a better storyline and he would be more suited to an I Quit Match because of his angle lock.

While i think of it...the Eddie Guerrero segment was a complete waste of time. He spent about 5 minutes building up to say something and then he just stepped on the mask and left. Surprised i stayed awake.

Big Show keeps getting done over by Carlito one way or another so he is due a win at Judgement Day

Heidenreich winning the match against Orlando Jordan was good because i can't stand Orlando Jordan as U.S Champ, he has had only a few title defences and would be nowhere if it wasnt for the cabinet. I hope Heidenreich wins at Judgement Day although i expect they will go and let OJ win.

Also expecting MNM to retain because there has not been much storyline building for this tag match. The 6-Man Tag with Paul London and Chavo Guerrero the other day and then the singles match this week. Not enough heat for a title change i feel. Knowing my luck i will be wrong now and Holly and Haas will win although i can't see it happening myself.

And whats with the whole Jindrak jobbing idea. I would have thought they would have found someone else for Booker considering they only just turned Jindrak face

Even though i thought this weeks Smackdown was rubbish i am however looking forward to the I Quit Match which is unusual because most Smackdown PPV Main events usually bore me, but i am looking forward to this one and i think the judgement day card is quite a good one.

hoho... segment with angles "apology", booker T gets all annoyed and pushes tv over....
and then gets a little stuck. no real way to beat up a tv and not look like a buffoon really is there? :)

Yeah, SmackDown was strange. I quite liked Eddie's bit, though Angle's 'confession' came out of absolutely no where. I think maybe he's just making it up, and he'll tell us that in the end...his character is just trying to wind Booker up.

In reality, the WWE could be doing that just to add something to the feud. Big PPV non-title grudge matches like this need more time though...remember the Angle/HHH/Stephanie feud? Where HHH won in the end after Steph low blowed Angle? Fantastic feud, and they spent a good couple of months on it, and I did actually care about the match. Don't think I'll really care too much about Angle/Booker, cos Booker's wife is indeed annoying.

Enjoyed the Carlito/Big Show bit. Carlito is absolute gold...I hope he gets a victory over Show along the way.

Smackdown was just plain weird this week what with Eddie's speech (i'm not and probably never will be a fan of those 10 minute sit down in darkness with a spotlight on you promos) and Angle's backstage bit. Obviously Angle has dropped his moral standard since the days of refusing to go to ECW after he had practically signed for them. Just poor writing and didn't fit the Angle character at all. Add to that the whole Big Show thing and it was just plain weird.

I'm usually a fan of Smackdown but god this week sucked. Only things that saved it were 'Number 1 Smackdown Announcer' Funaki and Milena's entrance although even she didn't look as fine as usual this week.

Big Show = Snow White

compare that to WCW's booking of Flair in the Carolinas and it doesn't look so bad :S

I'm more surprised that anyone booed him at all.

It's funny how the last two times when Regal was in England he lost. First with Eugene when we thought they had won the tag team titles and then Bischoff reversed the decision because of cheating and this time he lost against Hassan and Daivari.

It's funny that Regal does badly in his own country, but they let Tajiri win the Tag Titles in his country.

i certainly did :)
