I predict Heidenreich and Animal will lose the tag titles before the month is even half over.
I also see JBL becoming World champion at Summerslam.
And Eddie Guerrero will lose three more matches to Rey Mysterio.

I'm going to the Smackdown Taping tonight!
Scrooge McSuck - August 9, 2005 02:46 PM (GMT)
Bring a sign that reads "Who Booked This Crap?"
The Last Free Voice - August 9, 2005 02:47 PM (GMT)
Heh. Anything been announced allready? To say I haven't been watching SD lately would be.... well, it'd be pretty darn accurate.
Scrooge McSuck - August 9, 2005 02:48 PM (GMT)
You'll probably see Big Vito's "official" debut, as in not doing a run-in, the Road Warriors 3.0 squashing 2 poor Indy guys, and Guerreros Chapter 3.
The Last Free Voice - August 9, 2005 02:57 PM (GMT)
Any chance of a Punk dark match?
Scrooge McSuck - August 9, 2005 02:59 PM (GMT)
Possibly, since he's worked shows for both brands (but only seen on Heat before he was signed).
Mad Dog - August 9, 2005 03:35 PM (GMT)
Wow 80 to 7 in favor of Raw. That's really bad considering how bland and boring Raw currently is.
Scrooge McSuck - August 9, 2005 03:37 PM (GMT)
Raw is live, Smackdown is taped. That's my explanation of why Raw is more popular for discussion.
The Last Free Voice - August 9, 2005 03:38 PM (GMT)
Yea, it seems most of the SD discussion goes to the spoiler thread, rather than here.
dynamite kido - August 9, 2005 04:14 PM (GMT)
To me Smackdown is usually the better in ring show........it's just being on the shitty UPN network and the fact that it's not live kills it.
The Last Free Voice - August 9, 2005 04:16 PM (GMT)
Which is why I'm excited to be going tonight. ::Gloats::
Scrooge McSuck - August 9, 2005 04:19 PM (GMT)
Raw is coming to Tampa for my birthday, but I wouldn't even bother wasting good money on that crap, considering what we've seen for the past month.
The Last Free Voice - August 9, 2005 04:21 PM (GMT)
My dad got the tickets for free from work, so I really see no downside to me going.
Scrooge McSuck - August 9, 2005 04:22 PM (GMT)
Oh... then have fun, since you're not wasting money. At least Smackdown is somewhat better in terms of in-ring quality too.
Real F'n Show - August 9, 2005 11:54 PM (GMT)
LFV, if you could do me a favor and hold up a sign that says "I'm Not Emo!" that'd be killer.
The Last Free Voice - August 10, 2005 02:46 AM (GMT)
Didn't take any signs. Wasn't on camera side anyway. Some decent stuff and some not so decent stuff. Velocity should be good though. London was against Kazarian. JIMMY JACOBS~! ... lost to Nunzio. Various other things I don't feel like going over.
Scrooge McSuck - August 10, 2005 03:17 AM (GMT)
London v. Kazarian? Hopefully no one doesn't fucking switch Velocity's time slot again. I wanted to tape the CW Title Change, but the idiots at Spike TV, without fucking warning, switched its time with the shitty UFC crap special.

Same thing happened to me. I blame Spike AND the WWE on that one....
prof_plague - August 11, 2005 05:51 AM (GMT)
Wait. So what time is it on now?
Scrooge McSuck - August 13, 2005 03:59 AM (GMT)
Just finally watched Smackdown, and... wow. Just wow...
You know you don't know what the hell your booking team is doing when Randy Orton, a asshole heel, gets the 2nd best babyface reaction on the show when he kicked Kamalas ass, who got about 3 people to cheer for him.
Animal/Heidenreich is starting to wear thing. Just lose the titles already.
WHY IS CENAS VIDEO ON EVERYTHING?! IT SUCKS! For a fucking rapper, he sure grew up in a nice place... in suburbia... Massachuesets (sp?). I thought rappers only grew up in the ghetto and in trailer parks.
SamoaRowe - August 14, 2005 05:04 AM (GMT)
Smackdown didn't sound too good this week, though it's amusing to hear how over Orton seems to be as a babyface. It's as if no one remembers his "heel turn" from right before WrestleMania and just remember him from last August through January.
Scrooge McSuck - August 28, 2005 03:05 PM (GMT)
When did WWE start airing footage of Smackdown this early in the day? And whoo! Bob Orton Jr.!
Edit: holy crap, Randy Orton and Bob Holly had an entertaining match! M-Azing!
Benoit making a cup of coffee against the clock of his match with OJ from SummerSlam was pretty funny. He's just milking the length of the sugar pouring.
Real F'n Show - August 28, 2005 03:21 PM (GMT)
6-man had it's moments, but overall was unspectactular, even with the WWE's three best workers involved.
Scrooge McSuck - August 28, 2005 03:27 PM (GMT)
Smackdown is really confusing.
Booker T = face
Christian = heel
Christian & Booker T teaming up and NOT kicking each others ass every 5 minutes? Sure, they weren't much on continuity or whatever the word is, but they shouldn't even contemplate teaming up... and didn't WWE JUST do this with Regal/Scotty, the mismatched partners that probably won't get along... AGAINST the same team? Jesus...
Also, the Mexicools = What? WWE needs to give up on this shades of gray bullshit and pick a side.
Edit: Finally Christian takes a walk... took him long enough.

Really? I thought the six man was pretty decent......
Scrooge McSuck - August 28, 2005 07:59 PM (GMT)
I thought decent and unspectacular was the same thing :P, unless you mean decent as "better than you described it."

That's what I was going for.
Although I probably just enjoyed it because the lackluster matches we've been getting on WWE TV for the last 6 months. Although this has probably been one of the best in ring weeks for WWE free TV in 2005.

I was watching Pegasus/Ohtani vs. Black Tiger/Sasuke before it so that's most likely why I thought it was only "decent" or "unspectactular". It was probably a pretty good match for WWE.

Gotcha. One thing you should always keep in mind. NO NJ Jr. matches before ANY WWE TV.
Real F'n Show - August 29, 2005 04:00 AM (GMT)
If you do it the other way around though, you'll be blown away. Especially if your smoking anything.
