My god, Jannetty looks like a Hobo now.

 

[Reality Check]

Luther Raines looks familiar. I can't place the finger.

He wrestled under the name Horshu in WCW and UPW.

How was Velocity dudes?

I only saw the opening match, Jamie Noble vs Paul London. It was a decent match. If your wondering, Noble won.

 

[RAINBOW PONY]

Well, thank god Jamie won.

This should make Ikumi happy. The Big Show is coming back!

WWE SmackDown! Superstar Undertaker® , who made his triumphant return at WrestleMania® XX, will be making his Australian debut. Undertaker is one of the most popular and recognized WWE Superstars of all time. The former WWE Champion was recently featured in The Greatest 50 Superstars of all time in WWE Magazine.

Fans can also expect to see WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero™, the 7 foot- two inch, 500 pound, Big Show™, John Cena™, RVD™, John "Bradshaw" Layfield™, Booker T™, Rey Mysterio™, The Dudley Boyz™ and WWE Diva Torrie Wilson™, plus many more SmackDown! Superstars.

The tour doesn't start until late August. I hope the Big Show return before the tour starts.

Thank you for the update, Reality! I just hope that he makes the most of his lengthy time off to rest up and heal those poor injured knees of his. When he gets back, I expect to see people tossed around like rag dolls and squished into mashed potato!

Speaking of the "7 foot- two inch, 500 pound" teddy bear, I have always wondered whether or not that statistic actually holds true in real life...Don't they exaggerate weights and heights in wrestling? I am fairly certain that the Showster isn't REALLY five hundred pounds nor seven feet.

*shrugs* I suppose that the announced heights and weights of wrestlers are purely for effect...Rather like the casualty statistics in historical accounts of medieval battles. Of course they have to have some relationship to reality or the audience is going to scoff, so I think they routinely add exactly two inches or so to everyone's height. That keeps wrestler's relative heights straight, and isn't such a large addition that it's obviously fictional.

Weights are a bit more flexible. After all, how easy is it to estimate the weight of someone you meet on the street, especially if that person is much taller than average? So I guess they can play with those figures a little more, and of course cater to the vanity of the performers.

In any case, whatever poundage the Showster himself actually turns on a scale doesn't really matter to me, because that hardly makes him any less of a performer! *watches Rey Mysterio get swatted for the umpteenth time by massive frying pan like hand*

Um...One last thing that has always puzzed me with regards to wrestling. Where do those loud "chop chop" sound effects come from that I hear whenever a wrestler gets chopped or swatted? Is that just something extra added to the broadcast for the viewers watching at home, or do the live audience hear that too? I kinda wonder how they get that loud smack in there...

raw tonight everyone. post it, watch it, talk about it. you know you want to.

Two ways...one...they actually "SLAP" each other that hard. Two...when a wrestler uses one arm to make the slapping motion, their other arm swings down and slaps themselves on the leg at the same time to give that painful sounding chop. Now don't go blabbing this around...it's a secret

 

[RAINBOW PONY]

Raw SUCKED!

I tell you, if Jericho gets injured from this, I will go berserk!

So...how many people were surprised that Lita's baby belongs to...KANE!

World's worst kept secret

20 minutes of The Rock to start out RAW...and to think it was probably the best part of a rather mundane RAW 'cause it went downhill fast after that. Most of the extra time was concentrated on that Diva stuff so tell me...how much wrestling was actually done? Probably maybe less than a hour

I saw that one coming ever since Kane wanted to use Lita as a sacrifice. I guess that the WWE writers think that their audience are a bunch of uneducated, intelligence challenge, trailer trash.

Yep, and the Rock portion was the best part of RAW. Diva well, I think that the WWE wants to show the final on Spike TV.

I really expected more out of the main event.

So who is daring to watch Smackdown this Thursday night?

Who agrees that Rock should have his on comedy show. He's better that Dave Chappelle

So...how many people were surprised that Lita's baby belongs to...KANE!

It sounds like the the RAW side of the WWE has a bizarre and goofy new storyline to play with!

Hehe...You could have Jim Ross saying "BAH GAWD...Through hellfire and brimstone it's KANE'S child!" All the while pyros explode from the ends of the hospital bed as Kane raises his arms.

You think we could find some red and black baby sleepers and a little Kane mask to give them as a baby gift? Uncle Taker can babysit and maybe sing the little hellspawn songs. And don't forget Paul...*pictures Paul Bearer holding up the baby like the urn and saying "OOOOOHHHHH YYEEESSSS MY GRAND SON!!!"*

Um...Any chances of Paul and Taker somehow getting involved in this mess, despite the fact that the two are way over on Smackdown?

 

[orochi_lubu]

I'll take your dare...for what it's worth

me too charles, how about i double dare you to watch it too. yes ill be watching teh smackdown. the rock, its all good when he shows up. they should just have kane go beserk. and the match with trish and victoria. that was steven richards in drag right? wtf?

 

[RAINBOW PONY]

Smackdown seems better this week.

There's going to be a Cruiserweight Battle Royale!

 

[orochi_lubu]

smackdown is coming on tonight. lets see how good/bad it will be

 

[RAINBOW PONY]

smackdown is coming on tonight. lets see how good/bad it will be

I'm going to say 4/10

Oh :

OMG RAW JERICHO/BATISTA NEWS

The Clothesline from hell was a, get this......WORK

Jericho is not hurt at all, this was preplanned to go down this way.

 

[Ikumi Tachikawa]

Uh oh…Right up to this latest Smackdown, just a few days before the Great American Bash, Eddie has gotten the better of JBL, wrecking his limo and foiling all of his latest attempts to injure him with those random acts of violence. While it is great to see Latino Heat cleaning house each week, when I think about it using WWE logic…I have a bad feeling about this. I really REALLY hope that they don't try anything idiotic at the PPV. I hope that Bradshaw gets squished and finally disappears. And Mordecai had BETTER not interfere in this match! Please win Eddie…

The cruiserweight battle royale was nice! There were a lot of talented guys bouncing around in that ring, and quite a few that haven't been on Smackdown in quite a while *cough* Paul London *cough* Shannon Moore *cough*. Paul started out pretty good, but I was VERY disappointed when he got thrown over the top rope. Shannon's hair looked cute. Good grief…Will poor Scotty ever get to fully complete his Worm again without any sort of interference sometime this CENTURY?

Taker versus Cena was the best part of the whole show, in my opinion! That match was brutal and the Deadman looked absolutely gorgeous tonight! I give John credit for going through that enjoyable (to me, at least) beating. The look on his face was so cute when he was watching Taker get into the ring. Its as if he knew that he would get utterly squished in the end! The crowd seemed to be divided…There was a lot of people cheering for Cena, but I think that more were actually cheering for Taker. I know I was!

I started to worry a bit after his arm started bleeding from his run in with the steel steps…I hope that he is feeling okay. In any case, I am glad to see Taker getting more air time. Its fun watching him squish people, but that Live Free or Die match makes me worry about what will happen to Paul Bearer. I don't see how they can fake what Heyman plans to do to him…

Lastly, his drooling fans (myself included) want to see Taker on camera more often, and they want to see him winning. Watching Cena crash and burn tonight was great fun and extremely satisfying! The Deadman should not just put over anyone…Beating him should be something special. Taker is one of the toughest of the bunch and every new Tom, Dick and Harry shouldn't be able to take him.

SmackDown needs a new main bad guy i'm sorry JBL chacater reminds me of that guy from the that old tv show dallas but it is fun watching eddy make fun of him.
