Friday Night Smackdown! Discussion

[King Imp]

"During a routine cardiovascular test in San Jose, WWE United States Champion MVP was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. The syndrome is an abnormal accessory pathway, which could cause an abnormal heart rhythm and increase the risk for a heart attack."

So MVP gets diagnosed with a form of heart disease. The awful news just keeps on comin'.

I'm thinking this isn't true and just another lame storyline for two reasons.

1) He is still slated to compete and that would be madness to let anyone out there if they had a real heart condition.

2) "But following the discovery of an abnormal accessory pathway in his heart (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome) during a standard physical examination, the preservation of Porter’s career – and more importantly, his life – can be attributed to something other than his own inherent gifts: The WWE Wellness Program.

“The provisions of the WWE Wellness Program potentially saved MVP’s life,” said cardiologist Dr. Fred Feuerbach, who oversaw the testing for WWE."

With all the scrutiny over whether this even works after Benoit was found with steroids in his system, it's almost as if they are making something up to then say "look, our program works and we found something major before it was too late."

yeh i t say its fake just like the storylines

[xample]

I actually think this is true, however WPW Syndrome does not seem to have that serious of an effect on most people. There is a fairly simple procedure to help correct it.

I certainly agree with the WWE making more out of it that what it is due to all of their recent issues. In this case, yes it makes their Wellness Program look good.

[Chimee]

I agree, I think this is true and they're using it as an example that the Wellness Program is working.

[cougarjake13]

did teddy long really have a heart attack or was it just an angle ???


teddy long heart attack (http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/articles/4974138/longupdate)

[Chimee]

It was an angle and Vickie Guerrero was there when it happened. How fucked up is that?

[cougarjake13]

any more fucked up then the almost incest angle with trips and stef

or mcmahons almost death ???

or illegitimate child ???

[ponelas park townie]

any more fucked up then the almost incest angle with trips and stef

or mcmahons almost death ???

or illegitimate child ???

Or the intended incest angle between Vince & Stephanie?
Or the "Kane raped a cheerleader" angle?
Or the when Randy Orton, JBL & Triple H all used Eddie Guerrero's death to push storylines?
Or when Val Venis got his dick chopped off?
Or when Big Bossman made Al Snow eat his own dog?
Or when he stole the corpse of Big Show's father during the funeral?
Or when Mae Young gave birth to a hand?

Sorry... I just like giving examples of tasteless moments in WWE history.

When did this happen?

I've always wanted to hear Theodore Long pronounce "Kazarian"

[cougarjake13]

you know i just realized that the cruiserweight belt is vacant

why does the wwe only focus on the 3 heavyweight titles and treat every other belt like its shit ???

us title hadnt been defended in a long time before the last ppv when it was supposed to be hardy vs mvp

IC belt gets a lil more love than the us title but barely

there might as well not be tag titles, esp the raw titles

[Chimee]

At least there is kind of a story to go along with the US title, the cruiserweight title picture is Noble getting beaten by bigger guys since he's the only cruiserweight to get any real time.

Isn't Hornswoggle technically still Cruiserweight Champ?

[Chimee]

I count the other cruiserweights jobbing on ECW as time.

Vickie made him forefit the title.

other than a nunzio sighting the other night who else from the cruisers do we see ???

[Chimee]

Shannon Moore and Jimmy Wang Yang have been on ECW the past couple of weeks and I think they're teaming up on Smackdown on Friday. And Chavo is getting beat by developmental guys in dark matches.

yeh thats what happens when you tape a show on tuesday an air it on friday

[Chimee]

It's better than knowing what's going to happen three weeks from now on TNA. That was real awkward to watch when Chris Candido died and he made two more appearances with the company.

yeh it sucks

they tape 2 weeks of shows in one night, at least they did before with the one hour show

not sure how they do since they went to 2, i havent gone to an impact taping since earlier in the year

[Chimee]

Now they do one on a Monday and another one on Tuesday and because of Thanksgiving they did two on Tuesday.

[CYYYFYYY]

So when an actresses husband dies she should not have any scenes with guys anymore. If anything Vince is giving her a favor. he is giving her a high paying job and she is not all that attractive.

[Gmann]

Vicki Guerrero is fucking wretched looking. I mean come on now....its a little far fetched by even wrestling storyline standards.

And am I the only one who likes the whole Hornswaggle/Finley team up now? They make me chuckle.

yeh at least lita and edge made sense from an attraction perspective, although even lita wouldnt have been one of my first choices but they had the built in heat already from the real life relationship and screwing over of matt hardy and it obviously worked as edge is now considered one of the top main event heels

[Chimee]

It's obviously going to end up as a story where he only used her to get himself back into the World Title picture.

[cougarjake13]

It's obviously going to end up as a story where he only used her to get himself back into the World Title picture.

ey're already sowing the seeds for that

im betting that once he gets the title back, maybe even this week on smackdown, she'll try to get some love from him and he'll be like get away im done with you and she'll make a triple threat ( edge,batista, taker) for the title at armageddeon

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Once again, I ask, who holds the gun to the head of the Guerrero's to do these things?

from wrestling-online.com

Kristal Marshall - who just a couple of months ago was sharing the
spotlight with Teddy Long on Smackdown! - wrote in her latest blog that the
reason she was let go from WWE was because she refused to take part in a
'morally degrading' storyline written for her. Rather than just doing what
was expected of her, the 24 year old Marshall decided to say no, which
eventually led to her release. In her blog, Marshall talked about Lita and
the way WWE handled her 'slutty' storyline which suggests that the storyline
for her was going to be similar to the character Lita played later in her
career. "Look at how Trish retired, now look at how Lita retired. On the day
of Lita's retirement, the fans didn't just boo her because she had heat;
they booed her because despite all that she contributed to women's
wrestling, all that they seemed to remember about her was the 'slutty' vamp
she played on TV," Marshall said. She concluded by thanking Finlay, Booker T
and Sharmell for helping her throughout her short career in the WWE.

Not to mention that Krystal is taking Lashly down with her.. I read that ever since He started going out with her.. His whole attitude changed.. From nice guy just happy to be there, and liked by everyone.. To selfish arrogant jerk.. Many people in the locker room said its because of her feeding him thoughts of your better than all of them and crap.. She thought she would get on his coat tails to stardom..

ITS STILL REAL TO ME DAMMIT!

[SpicyMcHaggis]

So what I'm getting from all of this is that Vickie Guerrero is going to come across as one of the most hated women in all of wrestling and not just for heel heat but for fans recognizing her as the widow to Eddie and feeling that this storyline is desecrating everything that they believed she held sacred with her husband.

Honestly.. What the hell is she supposed to do? She has two still young daughters to take care of.. Who knows in what kind of financial shape Eddie left them in.. She may have to do all of this for the family.

That would probably be the case if she really fucked around with Edge, but most fans that know her as Eddie's widow would know that it's just some dumb storyline and in no way real.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

I'm not saying that's what I believe, but that's what will be perceived by those who don't read wrestling websites with news and things on it. I just feel very uncomfortable watching it, myself. I don't think she belongs on TV anyways. She's extremely bland with no real charisma. I'd much rather see some other female have stepped in to be the replacement GM for Teddy Long.

or why have gm's anyway, when raw went almost a year or maybe more without a gm i made no difference, you hardly see armando estrada the gm of ecw, and until the recent marry storyline we usually only saw teddy long when it was time to announce a match

Kronik...wasn't that Brian Adams and Brian Clark?

History

WCW
Adams and Clark, were recognized as singles wrestlers in both World Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation. They first joined together as a duo in April 2000.

Upon joining together as a tag team, Kronik (originally spelled Kronic) assisted Vince Russo in his vision of a clean sweep for his New Blood faction at Spring Stampede 2000. Adams and Clark interfered in the WCW World Tag Team Championship match, allowing the team of Buff Bagwell and Shane Douglas to win the title.

While in WCW, Kronik moved between babyface and heel roles several times - holding the WCW Tag Team Championship twice and gaining many fans along the way. In the final months of WCW, Kronik became hired muscle, adopting the catch phrase "breaking necks and cashing checks", similar to the WWE's popular APA tag team. Their contracts were not picked up by WWF when WCW was sold by Time Warner.


WWF
In September 2001, Brian Adams and Bryan Clark each made their re-debut as a WWF tag team. Recruited by Stevie Richards, Kronik was called in to settle past differences Richards had with The Undertaker, stemming from the disbanding of Richards' stable, "Right to Censor" earlier that year. Kronik wrestled their first tag team match defeating Kaientai on the September 20, 2001 edition of Smackdown and their last tag team match for WWF a few days later at Unforgiven 2001, losing to then WCW Tag Team Champions Kane and The Undertaker. Due to their poor performance, Adams and Clark were dropped from the WWF roster soon after and assigned to a WWF developmental territory - to work on their in-ring skills. Unwilling to comply, Clark was released from his WWF contract while Adams reported to the Heartland Wrestling Association in Cincinnati, Ohio. In November 2001, Brian Adams was released from his WWF contract.

Holy shit...Kaientai? I totally forgot those crazy japs....

[Kevin]

Holy shit...Kaientai? I totally forgot those crazy japs....

I think Taka Michinuku had been signed to like a pretty decent 5 year deal at the time.. He did not turn out as good as they thought.. He was the Barry Zito of his time.

[cougarjake13]

dont know if anyone else realized this


but at this years mania you will have


taker's undefeated streak vs edge's undefeated streak

so im guessing that takers gonna win right ??

[Chimee]

That was one of the whole points of the matchup. Even though they don't count Edge not winning the MitB as a loss.

[cougarjake13]

yeh i can see it both ways


he didnt technically lose the match by being pinned or being the one kennedy beat to the briefcase


but he also wsnt the winner and all other participants should have losses


but i guess its the same with a title change during a triple threat or fatal fourway


im thinking that somehow this will become a fatal fourway with taker, edge, batista, and maybe big daddy v or kane

[Chimee]

If Big Daddy V EVER ends up in the main event of Wrestlemania I may finally have to give up on wrestling.

hey weirder things have happened


and you think the egde-taker match is gonna be main event over cena, orton , and trips ???

[Chimee]

It should be the main event. The last few main events have all be RAW so Smackdown should get it especially with a match up like that. It'll definitely be the better match.

no doubt its the better match


but with cena and trips in it i figured they'd bitch and moan enough to be the main event

[Chimee]

just because it would make sense for Smackdown to have the main event, it will obviously be the RAW match. Vince isn't big on doing things that would make sense, like, you know, giving Hardy a title run or a title match at Wrestlemania.

its bullshit, hardy def should have a run


he's obviously got the fans behind him and why should we be forced to have cena right back at the top again, i know he got injured and all but fuck


let him fued with jericho or who the hell ever


my only hope is trips wins, hardy wins the mitb and maybe even after the triple threat hardy come s out and wins the title a la edge a few years ago

or even if trips wins and then drops it to hardy at the next ppv and hardy carries it to summerslam

From WWE.com


NEW YORK – MyNetworkTV and World Wrestling Entertainment have announced a new broadcast television home for WWE SmackDown, scheduled to debut in Fall 2008. The announcement was jointly made by MyNetworkTV President, Greg Meidel and WWE Chairman of the Board Vincent K. McMahon.

“The momentum at MyNetworkTV continues with this major acquisition,” Meidel said. “We have demonstrated tremendous growth and this partnership with WWE, the premier sports-entertainment franchise in the world is a perfect fit for our viewers, advertisers and affiliates.”

The two-hour television program will be presented weekly on MyNetworkTV. WWE SmackDown will feature a star-studded cast of WWE Superstars that include Edge, Rey Mysterio, Batista, MVP, Kane and Undertaker, as well as present all the action, excitement, drama and great athleticism that have made it one of the most popular programs among males on broadcast television for nine years, and one of the top ten English language prime time programs among Hispanic households.

“We are excited to add MyNetworkTV and its television affiliates to our family of global network partners,” said WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. “We have an unmatched record of delivering ratings success to each and every network partner we’ve worked with in our long and storied history. We fully intend to bring that same level of success to MyNetworkTV.”

I

[ToddEVF]

It should be the main event. The last few main events have all be RAW so Smackdown should get it especially with a match up like that. It'll definitely be the better match.

As it would make too much sense to have the winner of the RR pick which champion to be in THE MAIN EVENT of Wrestlemania, seems like top billing always goes to RAW.

you'd think the better main event would get the top closer spot. But both of them are kinda weak

[Dan G]

uggh

do they even have HD

I get MyNetwork in HD.

[cougarjake13]

you know ever since the match was made between edge and taker ive been thinking

who's gonna lose their undefeated streak at mania, b/c there's no way for both of them to keep it

on the one side i cant see taker giving it up since he's at 15-0 and will retire soon so why give it up if he's gone this long

and on the other you have edge who's at 9-0 i think , last year doesnt count for some reason but anyway the wwe still says he's undefeated, and has plenty of years ahead of him if he decides to keep on wrestling so he wont wanna give it up


so how do both guys keep their streaks at mania ???

ive been trying to come up with a way and at first i was thinking the MITB would be the way to go but then it would still count as a loss for edge i think

[ToddEVF]

on the one side i cant see taker giving it up since he's at 15-0 and will retire soon so why give it up if he's gone this long

Not to mention Taker's title reign was cut short last year by injury after he was allegedly supposed to get a long title reign.

[cougarjake13]

Not to mention Taker's title reign was cut short last year by injury after he was allegedly supposed to get a long title reign.

yeh i remember hearing about that

[SpicyMcHaggis]

I'm pretty sure they're just going to go the route they were originally going to go with Taker and have him hold the title as long as he was supposed to last year before he got injured.

[ToddEVF]

I'm pretty sure they're just going to go the route they were originally going to go with Taker and have him hold the title as long as he was supposed to last year before he got injured.

Same goes for HHH, as he was unable to compete at Wrestlemania. . . But this belongs in the Raw Discussion Thread. . .

[cougarjake13]

I'm pretty sure they're just going to go the route they were originally going to go with Taker and have him hold the title as long as he was supposed to last year before he got injured.

so edge's streak will end then

[Chimee]

I've noticed that they haven't been mentioning Edge's streak so much lately so I guess they'll just forget that Edge's Wrestlemania streak ever happened.

[cougarjake13]

I've noticed that they haven't been mentioning Edge's streak so much lately so I guess they'll just forget that Edge's Wrestlemania streak ever happened.

nah they cant do that


plus he just mentioned his streak on fri night smackdown

[Chimee]

Oh, I guess I'd know that if I watched Smackdown.

I'm pretty sure they haven't mentioned it on RAW or ECW.

[cougarjake13]

you are both right (http://wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=209323099)

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Good to see Nattie debut. Since they dropped Teddy and are using DH Smith as a personal whipping boy to look good in the eyes of Congress, there are probably no plans to have them reform any type of Foundation. Are there any Hart's left that are young enough to debut as "next generation"?

how fuckin gay


undertaker stripped of title

[King Imp]

how fuckin gay

http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/articles/6445718/titleturmoil

This is probably the main reason why I lost interest in wrestling and very rarely watch it anymore. I can't stand the whole "evil GM" bullshit (i.e. Bischoff, Coach, Regal, Guerrero, etc). It was one thing when Vince was doing it, but you can't even enjoy the matches when you know the GM has to be part of the storyline and will undoubedtly fuck up the match or just randomly strip someone of a belt.

[MagillaGorillaz]

“Chokeholds are illegal in WWE,” the General Manager reminded The Phenom.

When did chokeholds become illegal? The only illegal move that I know of is a piledriver. And moves from the top turnbuckle back in the early 90's in WCW.
I knew something like this would happen. You don't have all three championships held by faces.

[cougarjake13]

well one good thing

mick foley is the new color guy on smackdown

coach ??? dont know where he went

maybe to ecw to replace adamle ???

[Chimee]

I read (http://www.prowrestling.net/artman/publish/WWE/article1001256.shtml) that his contract is running out soon and there is a possibility that he'll work solely for MSG.

[cougarjake13]

just watched this past fridays smackdown

they had a segment where mvp was interviewing teddy long, batista comes out and thedy argue

a few mins later mvp complains to vicki guerrero and she makes a mvp vs batista match coming up next

now if you look at it logically there was no match until she made it after the vip lounge incident


so what was gonna be in that time frame that now had the match betw mvp and batista



yeh i know from the writers point of view it was set up that way but if you look at it as theres an interview segment and maybe theres no batista what would be there that they could just bump to have that match ??

[CruelCircus]

I know what you mean. I always find it silly when they make a main event match based on events early in the show. You mean you're producing a live, 2 hour television show and you don't have a main event scheduled prior to going on the air?!?!

Ahhh, suspension of disbelief...

[Mike Kingston]

Chokeholds have always been illegal...that's why the ref's count to 5 when someone is choking their opponent.

Also remember the Tazz/Kurt Angle stuff back in the day....there was a big debate on whether the Tazzmission was legal or a choke hold.

And piledriver's aren't illegal in the WWE....head drops are essentially banned (except for apparently Undertaker when he wants to bust out the Tombstone) but not in kayfabe.

[King Imp]

You gotta be kidding, right?

I just went to WWE.com and apparently it looks like they are creating a new belt for the Divas on that show. Do they really need two women's champions?

Sure, get rid of the belt that guys like Jimmy Wang Yang and Jamie Noble could wrestle for and add one for Kelly Kelly.

[cougarjake13]

No, but there are a lot more men employed than women.


easy fix


give the i.c. and us belts back their importance

[CruelCircus]

So does anyone with a little insight know if this Undertaker "banishment" is legit, or another of his 6 month vacations? I thought he was supposed to get a long title run. Instead he gets a month and they strip him?

I would hope when Taker is ready to hang it up, there's a lot more fanfare than this.

[Fallon]

He's probably going to Raw. The best thing they could do is have him attacking people week after week with Vince and the announcers saying he shouldn't be there.

But I'm sure it will be gay and Vicki didn't do the contract correct and he's available for the draft.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Undertaker will probably be traded to Raw. I'd say a good trade would be for Shawn Michaels to head over there. He could be in a great main event feud with Edge or Batista (whoever comes out with the belt).

[Chimee]

I read that he's just taking some time off to heal up a bit. I predict he shows up and crashes Edge and Vickie's wedding.

[Crippler]

I read that he's just taking some time off to heal up a bit. I predict he shows up and crashes Edge and Vickie's wedding.

Wow, I barely keep up with Raw through reading the reviews & occasionally downloading a show that gets a bit of hype (like the farewell to Flair, etc.), but I haven't watched a SmackDown in years...are they really pretending to go through with this shit with Edge & Vickie?

I give Vince credit for putting Eddy's widow to work because I'm assuming the Guerrero's weren't left in a great monetary position, but is it a WWE rule that in order to receive "charity" you must humiliate yourself? Sometimes I truly believe Vince would print up one of the those giant checks to give to Jerry's Kids & donate a bundle as long as Jerry would allow himself to be chokeslammed during the presentation ceremony.

[PhilDeez]

Can someone fill me in on the supposed backstage beef between Taker and HHH? I read somewhere that it is actually HBK and Taker who had issues behind the scenes at some point, and not HHH.
Just curious because the "experts" assume there is no chance that the two can coexist on one show, therefore Taker has to go to RAW.

[Chimee]

I'm going to assume that they both have so much political sway over a show now that each one wants to go their own way with something and they both want different things. Or something like that, maybe if I had an inside source, I'd know more.

[RF Godfather]

Oh I miss the days of The Kliq.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

So Smackdown will have their own women's title, the Divas Championship. Makes sense since there are two women's divisions. I still think they should be brand championship titles (i.e. Raw Heavyweight Championship, Smackdown Heavyweight Championship, etc.) but I digress. Here's what I say you do...

- Give Shelton Benjamin the United States Championship, move Hardy on to contend for ECW Championship after Dreamer's storyline run or while in it so as to drop another name in the hat of contenders.

- ECW General Manager Teddy Long's New Superstar Initiative should include Cruiserweights. Move Shannon Moore, Gregory Helms (as The Hurricane), Funaki, and Jamie Noble over to ECW, have them contend with Nunzio, Super Crazy, and Evan Bourne for the new ECW Cruiserweight Championship so now there are two titles on ECW.

[Bossanova]

I miss Taker, what is really going on with him, and what happend to Coach how come he's completely gone??

No idea about Taker but Coach got a legit deal with the MSG Network. He originally wanted to be in sports but fell into the WWE from what I hear. He is actually pretty good and seems more natural, seems like he is doing what he wants to do.

[Chimee]

Taker is taking some time off to let some lingering injuries heal.

[cougarjake13]

well ill tell you what, this thread is seeing more action since the draft

so maybe its working the way they wanted

[SpicyMcHaggis]

As of 8:30 PM, Zach Ryder and Curt Hawkins are the new WWE Tag Team Champions and Shelton Benjamin is the new United States Heavyweight Champion. So now the three ECW guys who held a non-ECW title on Smackdown are now back to being just ECW guys. Perhaps all three will now focus on the ECW Heavyweight Championship.

[King Imp]

I'm betting this whole falling out between Edge and Vickie Guerrero will be what brings the Undertaker back. She'll probably reinstate him out of spite.

[Mike Kingston]

heres what it said


Jeff Hardy Involved In Incident At Airport
Posted by Ashish on 09.18.2008

Details on Hardy incident...

There was apparently an incident involving Jeff Hardy that took place Wednesday morning at the Nashville International Airport. Hardy was removed from his flight to North Carolina by police officers but not put in handcuffs. Once he was taken off the plane, he was allowed to use his phone before being taken away. Hardy was on the flight with fellow wrestlers Matt Hardy and Gregory Helms.

Nobody really knows at this point what exactly this is all about and why he was removed from the flight, but obviously this has been a hot topic among WWE wrestlers since yesterday and some are concerned about Hardy's future with the company now.

[Chimee]

According to the Tennessean (http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200880918101) Jeff appeared to be intoxicated so they wouldn't allow him on the plane.

After his title match with HHH at No Mercy WWE has to be done with pushing him. Every time they do he gets himself in trouble.

Fuck you Jeff, get your shit together.

Matt = enabler?

I just read the story...

Jeff "appeared" intoxicated, so they held him off the flight, but didn't arrest him, there was no incident, and Southwest offered to give him another flight.

Something tellls me that maybe Jeff was just being Jeff, a Southwest employee got wigged out, they pulled him, but found out he was OK?

They don't take public intoxication and stuff like this in airports lightly. Who knows.

[Don Stugots]

no harm, no foul. give him the belt.

[commish13]

Just watched SmackDown. Very good stuff again this week. And 3 or 4 matches have already been made for next week's show.

well according to triple h's promo i guess not anymore

it will only be as a transition to get it back to edge without trips losing to edge

Haven't watched wrestling hte last 2 months, some obligations and lost abit of interest, but I just put on Smackdown and saw a video package about hardey's heel turn and it looks really amazing. Was that Undertaker/Hardy match on Smackdown as incredible as it looked?

[commish13]

Hardy didn't turn heel. He just has been pushed to the limit and is driven to win the WWE title. The match with 'Taker last week was good.

WWE is amazing....

Apparently they aren't happy with Kozlov's work so they are going to send him to ECW to be in the title picture there as he's set to feud with Matt Hardy.

Shouldn't that be something you figure out BEFORE you try to headline a PPV with a guy?

And its not like he hasn't been wrestling in the E for a while, so how could they not see this coming?

Probably not the right forum for this question but who's the female wrestler in that commercial for the tag team videogame ?

I wanna murder that guy but I wanna see more of that chick at the end.

[disneyspy]

Hhh

There's a commercial for a videogame where you can play as a tag team and in the commercial it first shows Triple H w/ John Cena, then it changes to The Big Show and then Hornswaggle ( sp ??? ) before settling on some female wrestler.

Trying to figure out who she is.

kelly kelly?

It truly amazes me that they continue to push this guy even after all the problems he has had. Between all the drugs and the constant no showing, it's only a matter of time before he is gone again.

I guess in the WWE, the worse you are (i.e. Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton, JBL, etc.) the more chances you get.

Some sources say they are doing it because they have been burned in the past by building up guys too quick only to have them jump ship. I guess they want to see how commited MVP is TIFWIW

I hope they build him back up to being as noticeable as he was just when he was starting to hit his stride.

im sure they will

theres no point not to


unless they feel he cant be a main event guy

Matt Hardy gets screwed and it's not because he's the ecw champ who had to lose to Vladimir. He got fired after Edge and Lita hooked up. the company brought him back only to have Edge get the better of him in the rivalry, then he ends up on smackdown.

Edge has been wwe champ and world heavyweight champ 3x each. Matt gets the ecw belt :thumbdown: Vince has never had any issues with Matt as far as conduct goes. but Jeff gets a big push and becomes a relevant brand champion before Matt.

[Chimee]

Jeff is also insanely popular.

[cougarjake13]

yeh for whatever reason jeff has always been huger pop wise


the only time matt had any light shone on him was all the fan support when he was let go and they ultimately brought him back



thats plus fuck ups always do better than goody 2 shoes

its just the way our soceity works

Matt Hardy screwed himself. While I don't agree with his firing, they brought him back and gave him a live mic to get himself over and his promo BOMBED! Edge then delivered a scathing promo that was so intense, it almost made him the face. I'll bet in Vince's mind, Matt Hardy validated himself as the midcarder that Vince always knew he was.

Shortly thereafter, Matt ran afoul of the Undertaker when he was supposed to take a chokeslam with a bunch of other guys at a Survivor Series when Taker was making a big return and cleaning house. Reportedly he put up a stink about it backstage and then when it came time to do it, he rolled out the ring without taking the move.

Needless to say, UT was pissed and combined with Matt's stock being pretty low from his lame-o promos... it was clear he was going to be working the job squad for a while. And he did. They never completely buried him b/c he was too popular but they made sure he never got past mid card.

And now he's stuck on ECW. Sure, he's the champ but who else are you going to put the belt on? I bet 99% of the roster would rather be IC champ.

So he had his chance to be a main eventer and he blew it. And while it's ridiculous that guys like Snitsky have had more chances to be a main eventer than Matt Hardy, but as an undersized guy, you get very few chances to be a singles main eventer in WWE.

Anyone know where I can check out Friday's whole Smackdown online?

My DVR froze up and didn't record it.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com reports this afternoon that Ron (R-Truth) Killings was detained at the Canadian border today and denied entry into Canada for tonight's WWE Raw/Smackdown tapings, and will not be able to appear on this week's WWE TV.

Johnson had no information as to why Killings was refused entry.

prob had weed on him

[Mike Kingston]

Killings has a record and I'm pretty sure Canada doesn't allow people across the border with a felony conviction. Disco Inferno was held up at the border once for TNA b/c of his gambling convictions....

[Chimee]

Then how did MVP get in, I think he has a similar record to Killings.

he looks like a tanned white guy either that or they thought he was a power ranger and let him slide

[TEXAG]

MVP never deserved to wrestle, I have no clue how they let him hold the US belt for so long !!!:furious:

yeh they just kinda brought him out as if he was already an established guy but in reality he wasnt

[NITRON]

but isn't that wrestling, or at least WWE? they have the capacity to make big names out of people you never heard of.

true but there was no build up


it was just here's this guy who we are kayfabing has signed the biggest contract in smackdown history and is this great wrestler


its not like he was an established guy from another fed or anything

[NYHCmikeX]

I think MVP was a juvenille when he got arrested (if I recall his story on O&A correctly) maybe there is something where it gets taken off your adult record or some shit...

Mind you, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

And MVP rules. You're just jealous because he is better than all of YOU!

From Dave Meltzer:

"Funny story about the Vickie Guerrero action figure that appears on Smackdown tonight. The figure's clothing has a ton of padding, but if you strip it all off the actual Guerrero doll looks like a supermodel. A friend of mine showed it to her husband and he concluded that they just use the same prototype body for all the Divas action figures -- but he was wrong. They stripped down some of the other Divas and Vickie actually has a better body than everyone else, including six pack abs. Has to be a rib of some sort."
