I still say that SD is the best show on WWE, they have great wrestling and great mic skills by all the wrestlers, I think the right person won the belfast brawl, because it showed again y finlay is the best trainer for younger wrestlers and mike knoxx losing makes his character more believable, the rest of the card was just as exciting, no wonder vince is on SD so much he wants to see how a real wrestling show is written......everyon on sd seem to enjoy there character and the way they are written into character. Vince needs to putg SD on primetime station like RAW,

"Ziggler being set up by Michelle McCool and Layla backstage almost makes him come off as a babyface."

That's what I thought. Some us have been assuming (perhaps wrongly) that Ziggler has been cheating on Maria, but he will be a sympathetic character if she falsely accuses him.

"Ziggler being set up by Michelle McCool and Layla backstage almost makes him come off as a babyface."

On the subject of this segment, McCool and Layla's plan only works if we assume Maria doesn't ever watch Smackdown, live at the arena or on TV, and neither do her friends, family, and fans.

Maybe McCool and Layla's next plan will be to rob a bank, complete with them discussing their strategy on Smackdown.

I personally am a big fan of Drew McIntyre, as a fellow Scot. His real name is Drew Galloway (I have no idea why WWE never used it) so I doubt he has any relation to Velvet McIntyre.

RESPONSE FROM KE: Yes, I know McIntyre is not his real name. I just wanted to get in a Velvet Mcintyre reference.

Did you see Josh Matthews get knocked down during R-Truth & McIntyre promo? I guess Josh wasn't "Tough Enough"....man that joke was lame.

Drew McIntyre is my new favorite wrestler on SmackDown....I liked him when he was around a while back and became a bigger fan from seeing him on Florida Championship Wrestling. I hope they push him well, because he's an old school heel that's needed.

Morrison might not have had the best material on the mic, but he did manage to get the crowd pretty solidly behind him, so hopefully when he gets some better lines the crowd will respond even more.

I didnt enjoy Smackdown as much as in recent weeks, but it was still a great show.

Punk is really becoming a legit main event talent, and its brilliant. Undertaker and him seem to have decent interaction, I hope this feud continues.

If Batista does join Smackdown, I hope it is with the sole intention of letting Punk go over him clean, as it would really be a boost to his career, especially if he beats Undertaker as well.

Im not sure if they are making Dolph a face, it wouldnt make too much sense, but Im intrigued by this storyline, even though I generally dont like these love stories.

Drew Mcintyre has already made a big impact, and by doing it against both a solid wrestler and a fan favourite will really help.

Im glad Morrison got mic time, and despite the cheesiness of Mr Ziggles, it got the fans to make some noise, which can only be a positive, and helps establish Morrison as a face even more.

The matches this week were pretty good, I particularly enjoyed the main event.

Im not enjoying this Kane/Khali feud. Kane as a heel doesnt work for me, and Khali is just appalling. Shame the Hart Dynasty werent allowed to compete, they are always entertaining.

BReaking Point is getting ready to come on as I write this but I have to quick give my thoughts on SD so excuse me if any of the following is sloppy or grammatically incorrect:

I am soooooo excited Taker is facing Punk tonight. However, I just saw a internet site that reported Taker is NOT at 100% and was moving slow in the ring at a house show. Gah! That's definitely not good. I'm thinking my favorite wrestler since 1996 better start considering retirement sadly if this keeps up. I wasn't to thrilled with the constant notices of Taker's coming last week before seeing him for the split second, but I was much more thrilled that we saw him longer this week.

Taker's promo wasn't anything special for me because the lights weren't dimmed and there wasn't funeral reefs and caskets out there. A big part of his promos is messing with his opponents head. Perhaps even if he did the promo while lying in the coffin. He needs to add more mind games to his promos. He did the promo while standing in the ring in broad daylight.

CM Punk did a good job when he came out there. Seems CM Punk is going to go with applying his Straight Edge gimmick to all the fans as a way of keeping it going since he can't always apply it to wrestlers. CM Punk did well.

Taker did poorly interacting with CM Punk though? He didn't respond enough and didn't explain what he meant by Symphony of lies. Again, that's where mind games come into play. Taker needs to use his "supernatural powers" to turn off CM Punk's mic and then respond.

All in all, Taker was only all right in this promo. He needed to be doing more mind games. CM Punk was great.

It should be noted that Taker slightly resembled his Deadman persona of 97 / 98 when he came out in that sleeveless gothic coat or whatever.

OTHER THOUGHTS
Shad Gaspaard absolutely ruled that tag team match.

Tired of Big Show always having to look the strongest as opposed to Jericho. What favors is that tag team doing for Jericho. It's alllll about Big Show.

Drew Mcyintyre or howevever you spell it looks great. He and R Truth should have a nice feud.

EXCELLENT match between Knox and Finlay. Wrong person one as was stated.

I was wrong last week. Michelle McCool cannot act. LMFAO @ the guy who made the robbery joke!

Hardy losing by submission was a nice correction from last week.Some people disagree with me on Hardy needing to hit the gym and not to go with this whole image McMahon puts in our heads. I understand that point of view but the thing about it is not everyone looks bad when they're not in shape. Hardy looks bad when he's not in shape.

Dont let's forget Ronnie Garvin's other major offensive maneuver:the awesome Garvin Stomp.

I still cant believe they let that guy beat Flair for the NWA strap.

lasst weeks smackdown was better then it was on tv. i was at the matches after cm punk beat hardy the undertaker had a 1 fall match against cm punk it was a title match, the match ended when cm punk hit the undertaker with a chair and was disqualfied and as cm punk was taunting the undertaker he arose again to beat cm punk to a pulp ending with the toumbstone-now thats entertainment.
