LMAO @ SmackDown! (Spoilers)
 

- "The Network". Enough said.

- Chris Benoit making a cup of coffee and timing it against his Summerslam match with OJ. LMFAO.

<font color=goldenrod>They should have a Chris Benoit coffee invitational every week :shifty:

- Stolen from Mike the Metal Ed</font> :(

ROFL @ Ken Kennedy

LOL, The Network = RTC 2K5.

And yet, it works.

lol @ eddies "im your papi" shirt.

<font color=goldenrod>Smackdown was MUCH better than Raw this week, IMO

Actually, I've been enjoying Smackdown more than Raw as of late...shame I won't see it on Fridays</font>

This week's raw kicked ass man.

This was the best week for both RAW & SmackDown, imo, since the week before One Night Stand with the ECW run-ins. And, I for one, am jumping on the Ken Kennedy (KENNEDY!) bandwagon.

I am on as well, but am prepared to jump off as soon as they start a Kennedy/Tony Chimmel fued. :shifty:

<font color=goldenrod>I'm on too, that was hilarious</font> :lol:

The Network was gold.

More people need to piss off the WWE. They seem to get more creative when insulted.

Does anybody know who this network guy is? Is he an actual wrestler? I hope they really go somewhere with this, like ECW did in its later days whe Cyrus represented the network. Have him assemble a few like-minded superstars in a "creative control" role.

yea, I loved it. I was also an RTC mark, so this shoudl entertain me

He looks familliar.

Then again, that could be just because he has a similar demeanor to Hassan's lawyer

JBL should be apart of this, he could be UPN's "ideal" champion or some shit like that.

this Ken Kennedy crap makes me cringe. Cringe...

I'm sure he will have a stable built around him soon enough. He's got pretty decent heat already.

He's already said the network's on his side...

So they are tired of rehashing old WWF storylines, now they have to do old ECW TNN storylines?

Makes me laugh.

Ahhhh.

Didn't get to watch tonight. :(

Wait until they start in on the WCW storylines. We'll have alot of fun then.

I don't know if JBL was full of shit or not, but he did say that they were on his side.

I thought it was Chris Nowinski for a couple seconds actually.

Maybe his world title run last year would've been better if he did things like that.

Did you guys see Kennedy's finisher? Crazy shit. If he botches that then either he or the guy he's doing the nove on is gonna get hurt BADLY.

Yeah :eek:, that's one not to botch.

Yeah, that was a great move. Reminds me of something I would have made up on my Hulk Hogan Wrestling Buddy when I was seven years old. You know, something that shouldn't be physically possible, but because it was stuffed...

What did he do? I missed it.

Fortunately, he's been pretty tight in the ring.

However, one false move, and BAM!

From the turnbuckle, he hoisted Funaki on his shoulders, and flippedover, slamming him into the ground. I can't remember the name, but I've seen it done before.

Kind of like what Lance Storm used to do, except Kennedy did it off the middle turnbuckle.

Probably looks more dangerous than it actually is, but it looks awesome. Could be just what this guy needs to get majorly over really fast.

:lol: when Hardcore came out.


The Alabama Slama.

Wtf.

They've been calling him that for ages on Velocity. Lame as fuck.

Also, the guy from "The Network", if anyone caught it, named SmackDown the "flagship show".

Wonder what was up with that.

Well, not like he's going to call it "WWE's B-Show" :cool:

I think he meant that it was UPN's flagship show. 'Cause, you know, it's the one people watch.

Now come on. R U The Girl wit T-Boz and Chili is watchable

SD is hot. Loving Orton again. And I honestly think his ring work has improved.

The Benoit segment was gold.

And the Network guy is great, because he'll make Teddy Long bearable.

:y: Smackdown.

Orton has defintely improved. The camera kept focusing in on his facial reactions, because they were great, and he was just good.

So yeah, he was...good.

*GASPS*

BTW the move Kennedy did was a steamroller from the second rope (or so I believe).

Also smackdown is looking to be getting good, I seriously hope over the next couple of weeks they let Benoit do a couple more of those 25.5 second skit things, which could lead to another OJ v Benoit match were it happens again or even quicker, that would be pretty rippin.

Benoit made a funny?

Yeah it was a ROFLMAO moment.....

I'm relieved. Last time the WWE mentioned coffee in a skit, it started a feud between Jericho and Kane... OVER SPILT COFFEE!




















COFFEE!

















COFFEE!?

Maybe Benoit will fued with the coffee over who's quicker in making OJ submit.

Crossface

V

Hot Coffee on the crotch








:shifty:

Yeah, same here.

The UPN Representative is Brian Black, one of WWE's developmental talent, if I'm not mistaken.

:lol: Pretty much.

Coffee on a pole match.

Oh so the one Fit Finaly used to do all the time, just from the second rope?

I'd prefer it if they didn't decide that he needed his father to win matches.

Especially to the "Alabama Slama."

Yes. If anyone here is a fan of FMW then they would recognize the move as a second rope version of Ricky Fuji's "Kamakazie". But yes, Fit Finlay is the first wrestler i can remember to use it on a regular basis in America.

Yeah, I said they should do this [the "Network] ever since Hassan was forced off the air. Part of me has to wonder if Heyman is behind anything regarding the Network.

I KNEW I had seen it before. Couldn't fucking place it.

sick finisher by Kennady. RVD used to do that then bounce up and do a moonsault from the second rope

Dam, I missed that Kennedy segment last night.

Mr. Kennedy is basically what Masters could be, if he had talent, skill, or mic ability.

And no bald spot.

That helps too.

It's just that, you know...Even without being fed large amounts of TV time, he's established a reaction. And he's got skill.

Why is the WWE trying to make me care about Jobcore Holly? Benoit + coffee = ratings

:lol: Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

Benoit + coffee = ratings




Altho that sinister laugh sounded way too fake and forced. Like Dr. Evil satire style.

Well if Eddie can carry a tin of Pudding to a good match, I'm sure Benoit can carry a cup of hot coffee to a good match.






:shifty:

I think that goes without syaing.

Benoit could just fight an imaginary opponent, and carry it to a good match. Just him whipping himself against turnbuckles and selling invisible punches.

I'd like to see him sell invisible chops.

Actually, I would love to see Chris Benoit go to the ring, and wrestle a match with nobody, and then eventually win with the Crippler Crossface. Benoit then goes to the timekeeper and asks him how long that was, and he gets the time as two minutes and something. He then taunts Orlando saying it took him 2 minutes to be nobody, but 25.5 seconds to beat Orlando.

I jumped on the Ken Kennedy bandwagon a while ago. For all those wondering, I think he calls the flipping-Samoa-drop-steamroller-Lance Storm/RVD/Fit Finlay move from the second rope the "Kenton Bomb". Pretty awesome name, IMO. It grows on you. Plus he has impressed both Jim Cornette and Paul Heyman, as well as having a background in Tae Kwon Do and Escrima. This guy is one talented puppy. Plus he makes me laugh. I wish he would bring back the little thing where he flicks his wrist around three times before announcing his name again after the match. It looked awesome.

KEN KENNEDY: And the winner of the match...MR KEN-NEDY...*1*...*2*...*3*...Kennedy.

I love Mr Kennedy. :(

Brian Black as Palmer Canon was hilarious. I'm not sure if it was on purpose, but the bland tone he used while trying to emphasise something was glorious. It really came off like UPN execs have no personality what so ever. Classic. I hope it doesn't put Mr Black into a permanent stigma, though. It looks like he's got some talent. When SmackDown! finally leaves UPN, I can see Brian Black revealing he wasn't from "The Network" and that The Network didn't realise...because UPN ARE IDIOTS! It would be glorious. But it won't happen. I like the idea of him being a JBL plant, or something, though.

Maybe Muhammad Hassan and Khosrow Daivari could return as his stablemates under new identities, now they have been "reprogrammed"?

Fuck UPN they played some fucking movie about amish people instead of smackdown

lol

I envy Chavos pet

^ I second that
