I read a rumour that Harry Smith might be debuting on SmackDown!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sans Hart Foundation gimmick, of course, seeing as Teddy fucked up. If this is the case, I think they should have him break The Masterlock. Only Bobby Lashley has done it so far, and while Chuck Palumbo could get a rub from doing it second, I think Harry Smith doing it in England would get a huge pop.

Anyway, talk about how you would debut Harry Smith on SmackDown!, if you had to do it this week.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Also, while we're on the topic of debuts, CM Punk gets to choose his partner against Big Daddy V, The Miz & John Morrison this week. I'm pretty sure it will be Tommy Dreamer, but how fucking sweet would it be if it were Colt Cabana? I'm pretty sure England would know who he is (being a smarky crowd), and Cabana works the European style well. I can see the crowd marking out for Punk & Cabana, which would be as good a start as any for Colt. It's how CM Punk got his (although there were admittedly vignettes for Punk).

[Impact!]

CM's Partner will most likely be Boogen or Balls :(

[Dave Youell]

Cabana worked 2 summer seasons, but I don't the masses would know him.

As for Smith? Personally from what I've seen of him he looks average, I dunno.

Really hoping to see Birchill come out and form that British stable

All they need to do is have him come out to Bulldogs music, in England, and mention who his father was. Mega Pop. Fans will see that on TV and cheer him.

Have him Fued with the other English chaps (Taylor Burchill and that Drew guy)

New guys feuding with each other never works

If they get over that he’s Bulldog’s son then yeah he’ll get a monster pop. He should be feuding with someone established in the mid card, right now I can’t really think who though. As the 3 guys I would think off are all involved in programmes (Finlay, MVP and Masters)

I think it really depends on how smarky the audience is. Even if he doesn't catch on right away, you can just put him over as CM Punk's friend from his early wrestling days. I can't see the WWE doing it, but in the Attitude era, shit like that would not be uncommon.

Also, Paul Burchill joining Dave Taylor is a must for this week's edition of SmackDown!. Burchill isn't really "new," per se. I could see him feuding with Harry Smith and it being successful. I wouldn't personally go with it, though.

I am a bigger supporter of Matt Hardy winning the US Title before he and MVP split, but if they are going to do the switch before the singles feud really kicks in, then they might as well have Hardy & Porter lose the titles in England. A title change creates the illusion of eventfulness. I don't care whether they go Dave Taylor & Drew McIntyre or Paul Burchill & Drew McIntrye, but I think they would make great go-to Champions. They can defend the belts against Jesse & Festus and The Undertaker & Kane (which they win when Taker & Kane's singles feuds step in and help out the Brits). A match against The Major Brothers would also be quite fun.

It may not be something epic, but why not Kenny Dykstra? I haven't been too rigid in my following of SmackDown!, but last I remember the guy actually had pretty good heat. Harry Smith could come out, say hello to his home country, point out his legacy, and then have Kenny Dykstra interrupt, and claim that Harry is trying to steal his spotlight by hiding in his father's shadow, whereas Kenny is young, has all the potential in the world, but doesn't need a famous father to know he is going in the Hall of Fame. Smith and Dykstra can then have a series of matches, and you can even bring up Nattie Neidhart to work with Victoria.

You can even work some of Kenny's OVW character into it. "I'm not going to be the next Bret Hart, I'm not going to be the next British Bulldog...I'm going to be the first Kenny Dykstra."

About 12 people in the entire building would know who he is. And that includes guys who he has worked with.
