Seriously, this show was just fucking awesome. From the very opening, with The Undertaker coming out in garb that was more similar to his Ministry days than his "new hat" days. The approach CM Punk has taken to this angle has been fantastic, as well.
The wrestling on the show was pretty damn good. Mike Knox and Finlay's Belfast Brawl had some pretty sick spots. JeriShow vs. Cryme Tyme was a really fun tag team match. I continue to grow into a fan of Cryme Tyme's. Charlie Haas and John Morrison didn't get much time, but I love what I see out of Haas. The women were a bit patchy, but Layla continues to improve. The Submission Match was really cleverly worked.
Drew McIntyre continues to impress me, and John Morrison's segment with Dolph Ziggler was really funny. SmackDown! is the shit.

Ugh, I hate how Knox isn't going over Finlay.
Just watched the match. Knox dominated the thing at least. Finlay got in a "lucky shot"

Yeah...probably from one certain "lucky wooden club" (i.e., the shillelagh)...

I agree noid, already seen it on the vault earlier this morning.:) Non-stop entertainment, nothing like the cringe-fest that is raw.

When is Smackdown not a must watch now-a-days? Smackdown has been superior since 2007 imo.

Well, sometimes on smackdown you get 'don't wanna watch' moments, but lets just say this had none of those.

I don't know, sometimes SmackDown! sounds really fucking good, but it's missable, with just the best segments being worth hunting down on YouTube. But SmackDown! was just really fucking good this week. Cryme Tyme are turning into quite good workers. I wonder if Chris Jericho has taken a special interest in them?
JTG has always been good, only now he's starting to mature. Jury is still out on Shad.

No doubt. I still maintain that Shad Gaspard is money, though. I can see these two being very similar to Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash.

I love JTG, and I can't figure out why exactly

The Morrison/Ziggler segment made me cringe. As bad as that "Christina" crap Shaq was encouraging.

Smackdown since the draft has been the best stuff we've seen since Smackdown 02/03 in my opinion. The roster looks weak as fuck depth wise, but they're really working with what they've got.

Loved the opening Punk promo pretty much likening the Undertaker to Santa Claus, mocking the fans' belief that he has some superhuman powers. I was interested in seeing how he would transition from using the Hardy drug abuse crutch, but I think he's done well with it.
