Does Smackdown have anyone left worth watching?

Eddie, Benoit, Rey.

I believe Raw is being held like 20 miuntes from where I live tonight...Not that I care, but just interesting.

Eddie, Benoit, Rey.

Benoit went there? sorry haven't watched Smackdown in awhile, tire of seeing undertaker and couldn't believe they pushed JBL. Now that's interesting if they turn into a real talent show, less talky. Now they should bring back the Hardy Boys and Dudley Boys and that would be a show.

Anyone else notice that the card at Vengence is better than WM21?

Shit, gonna have to order it now...

and Im starting to think the draft lottery is either

a) a big FU to UPN moving Smackdown. No title, the talent moving to raw, etc. or

b) a temporary move to build towards a fucking HUGE PPV, then trade talent back and leave things largely the way they were..

but honestly, with CC, Y2J, Edge, HHH, and Angle.. they have the talented top level heels (Hassan could even be pulled up for a feud) to keep both Cena and Batista over on Raw.. bring over JBL and/or Eddie and they will be set to keep the titles on Raw.

I've only seen a little bit of ECW One Night Stand so far, but it really did something to me...RAW REALLY sucked tonight, especially the wrestling. It's time for them to change their style.

Good points, but WWE is really surprising me as of late; I figured there would be either a ring announcer or a female coming out tonight when Triple H was in the ring, and it's KURT ANGLE. And just when I thought Vengeance was getting no build up due to ECW, they go and add the WWE title match and the HBK/Angle match.

I still can see Cena moving back to Smackdown!, but maybe not. Maybe they're just waiting for Vengeance to be over before they switch someone like Batista (I doubt Triple H will move) or HBK to SD!. Perhaps Cena will drop the WWE title to Jericho or Christian, and the new champ will go to SD!. But right now with only two trades, it feels like RAW is taking all the big names away from SD!. I hope tomorrow's show gets a BIG name traded to make up for it. I say move Orton, Batista, and Jericho to SD!. And for the lower card guys, get Tajiri and Hurricane on SD! for the cruiserweight division.

:lol

the other advantage with having both titles on the same show is once a heel picks up one of the straps, you could do the easy money PPV match to combine the titles.

 

[DMczaf]

Ah, nothing like Chris Masters to inspre a quick nap.

:lol

I give him 4 more weeks

 

[DMczaf]

OMG, they dragged out old ass Slaughter to job to Masterpiece? :lol This is getting pathetic.

What's worse is that Slaughter did a better job against Masters than Steven Richards and Val Venis. I know, I know, it's all storyline crap and Slaughter's a "legend" so you can't just bring him down that fast, but LOOK at Slaughter versus the other wrestlers Masters has faced...he doesn't look like he'd stand a chance in hell against Masters, let alone hold him in the camel clutch. That was just bad booking.

Horrible show tonight other than the post Cena/Jericho-Christian/Tomko moments and the last ten minutes when Angle, HBK, Flair, Batista, and Trips were all in the ring.

I usually like Austin's antics when he shows up, but it dragged on far too long and was just too predictable.

Also where was the fallout from ECW? Almost nothing was mentioned.

 

[Brian Fellows]

No it wouldn't. Jericho hasn't been interested in wrestling for at least a year now. He walks himself through his matches just to get them over with. He didn't even try to show that he cared at the ECW PPV last night. It was more of his slow, "fuck this" self.

Of course, I'd probably be just as apathetic as him, given how big of a star he could've been but was never given any real shot at it for stupid political reasons.

As much as it pains me I agree on all counts.

Kurt Angle "And your days of being #1 here are over. Because Kurt Angle is back on Raw, baby. Woo!"
Ric Flair "Nobody says Woo! around here except me. WOO!"
Kurt Angle "WOO!"
Ric Flair "WOO!"
Kurt Angle "WOO!"
Ric Flair "WOO!"
Kurt Angle "WOO!"
Ric Flair "WOO!"
Kurt Angle "WOO!"
Ric Flair "WOO!"
Kurt Angle "WOO!"

Best part of the show.
