Official Smackdown Thread 8/20/10 (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)
 

Meh. I never see one started on Fridays so why not?

Cena wins it.

the spoilers thread turn out to be the smackdown thread usually

watching it now, and just finished up on kane's promo... Some don't like the overproduction on his promos but god damn that was beastly.

How far would your jaw drop if you seen Kofi just punch Vickie in the face

Would have paid money to see it, haha.

I work nights with a TV in studio so I never read the spoilers. I'll start this on Fridays.

Just put it on... Kane's promo is good.

Alberto Del Rio's armbar was nice. Entrance was great too, especially with his own announcer.

Never much liked the "demon talk". If Kane starts shooting lightning again I'm outtaheeeeeere.

Well, Alberto Del Rio must be in ling for a HUGE push after that.

Maybe it's just me, but he kinda came off Santino/ Armando Estrada like. I still wonder why WWE didnt just try to build him up with the mask

He's being presented as Royalty and Royalty does not hide behind masks...

Really can't enjoy smackdown these last couple of months, so frustrating. Everythings been shite. :(

agreed:y:

Wow, Kane is really awesome this year good for him. Alberto Del Rio is a star, he was fantastic. One of the few guys I have seen come in like that and is actually ready.

Kane was great tonight. As was Alberto, and Rey wasn't too bad either. I like Kofi, Dolp, Christian, Cody, and Drew, but everything they're doing right now is boring me. Now that I think about that same with Punk and Show right now too.

Kane has been nailing it lately on the promo's, favorite part of Smackdown lately for me. Liking Alberto, his own announcer is a nice touch. Like the entrance theme also.

Really impressed by Alberto Del Rio. Love everything about him, especially his personal ring announcer. Dunno if it is because of his car entrance, but I could see him being the next JBL.

JBL didn't drive his limo though.

Dunno about Kane, if this was another one of the Kane's promo's that he's been doing recently then i don't trust you guys saying how awesome it was....

Is it me or does Alberto Del Rio's personal ring annoucer look like a chubby Benicio del Toro?

Who is the non-chubby Benicio del Toro?
You haven't found anything awesome in the last 5 years, so you might as well watch it.

I'm confused by what the fuck you're on about here.

How about a younger, more-human-less-vampire Benicio del Toro? I can see the resemblance then.

Watch that promo and let us know if you liked it or not.

If you're actually saying i haven't enjoyed anything in the last 5 years then you're really fucking stupid and haven't read my posts enough.

Up to the Kane promo. Good show so far, and honestly a great promo, BUT, they're pulling bullshit with rewriting history. Namely, Taker being the one who removed Kane's mask and had his face shown to the world. Which, of course, is at best a half-truth. Pissed me off.

Lol.. I didn't this comment till now. Not sure why you took it seriously, but I was not serious.

Atleast they made a good use of the inbuilt music-video combo during his promos. Although the demonic laugh was a touch much, if I do say so myself.

The cut ins were actually really well done. It was over produced, but other than rewriting history, the only thing I didn't like was that he was sitting. Otherwise it was surprisingly good.

I was surprised they showed Kane being set on fire. That's not exactly TV-PG.

Ya, for a good while I was wondering if they got a giant cameraman before they showed him sitting on the chair.

Was thinking people were getting the impression i was complaining too much or something....

Awesome promo by Kane. Loved how they are actually covered the WHOLE history between the two (slightly rewritten) instead of just Kane is Undertakers brother.

I kind of have a feeling that this will be it for Kane after this feud is over.

I'm loving that they're giving Kane a beastly run this time. His character has never been more in control. He doesn't even care that Taker is showing up to SmackDown! next week. I may be wishing for too much, but I hope that Kane goes over Taker at Night of Champions. No doubt they will eventually have Taker win, but it'd be good for Kane to get that one victory over Taker.
