So now Finlay and Matt Hardy have qualified for the MITB match

SWEET! FINLAY AND BENOIT IN THE SAME RING!!!!!
That's the only reason I'm watching SmackDown.

Mr Kennedy High Profile Jobber

Why the fuck is Finlay in the MiTB again

So what do we have so far? Kennedy, Finlay, Jeff Hardy, King Booker, CM Punk?

oh, Matt and Edge too.

When you put it into order of entry, the match kind of has a special vibe to it:

Edge vs. CM Punk vs. King Booker vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. Matt Hardy vs. Finlay vs. TBD

Finlay is likely in there to be an achor, to work some psychology into the match, and control its pace.

I'm really excited about the Six-Man Cruiserweight Tag. The WWE apparently has interest in recreating the Nitro days, so we might actually see the Cruiserweight Title mean something. Scotty 2 Hotty and Shannon Moore picking up a win is something special, too.

I'm not suggesting they do this, by any means, but SmackDown! really has the strength to go up to three hours. Just look at the talent they have that didn't make the show: Paul London, Brian Kendrick, William Regal, Dave Taylor, The Boogeyman (not a great wrestler, but a notable personality), Mike Mizanin (see Boogeyman), Jamie Noble and Funaki. I love the emphasis SmackDown! places on actual wrestling. It also feels like an Attitude-era style show these days.

This better mean the US title is getting defended at Mania. That's the only logical reason I can see for Finlay winning that match (better than MVP winning it).

But I'm sad that Kennedy has to job to the stars. :( Lashley's certainly getting one helluva push though.

Well Orton will be taking that last MITB spot.

That's my guess.

When did Kennedy qualify?

4 fucking SD idiots? Why no Carlito?

ECW

I'm suprised half the match consists of Smackdown wrestlers. I'm assuming Benoit will fight MVP at Mania, although it would have been cool to see him in MITB again.

I guess Matt and Shannon are revitalized now that they're back in the same shower together.

*MAJOR* Fix...

DAMN iNATOR

Is there something wrong with your brain?

No...just because you've got billions of dollars and run a hugely successful operation called WWE, and are paranoid about your oh-so-fabulous 61-soon-to-be-62 year old silver-streaked hair...that doesn't mean you (Vince) have to waste time putting his ugly mug on TV, although I'm sure he'd disagree heartily. This is like the 3rd time in 3 weeks he's been to every show. Congrats Vince, you're 9 for 9, but when it comes to WrestleMania, you, sir, are no Undertaker. End of rant (to which 99.99999999999999% are saying "THANK GOD!", I know...:-\)

HUH? KHALI CONFUSED WANT BANANA BUT EAT DAMNINATOR INSTEAD WILL GIVE ME SHITS KHALI THINKS

RAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH

YEAH!!!!!!!!!

shannon moore on TV and picks up his first televised wwe win.

That Franklin Roberto Lashley cracks me up. You guys should have seen the look he gave McMahon after he had been slapped.
