SmackDown (Airing Friday night on MyNetworkTV):

He shoots on Jeff Hardy before Theodore Long is able to come out and interrupt. CM Punk vs. John Morrison is announced. * Jeff Hardy's music hits and he comes to the ring. Hardy sells the entire time at ringside and can barely left the title before leaving. * Dolph Ziggler b. Finlay. Mike Knox comes out and interferes and hits Finlay with his shelleigh. After the match, Knox beats down Finlay. * Kane has Ranjin Singh held captive backstage. He does a 24-style hostage video. * They do a Maria/Melina promo.

Not happy about Matt going face again at all...but if Jeff does indeed leave he'll be right in the hunt at least. Matt's never gonna be heel though, 2 failed attempts at it.

They could go either way with this.
A) Have Matt Hardy end up costing Jeff again at SummerSlam. B) Jeff loses at Summerslam but Matt enters into a feud with CM Punk as soon as he is full time again. |

Isn't Matt on Raw? I guess you can do whatever the fuck when you're injured.

Just got back from the taping.
CM Punk and Morrison was a tremendous match, as was the pop for the Dynasty. |

Hopefully this convinces the WWE to do Shawn Michaels vs. David Hart Smith in Montreal.
Sounds like a really good show. The main event is a Handicap Match that sort of makes sense. Jeff Hardy is a three-time World Champion and like a seven-time Tag Team Champion. The Hart Dynasty got the win, so they look good, but Hardy has no reason to be ashamed by losing. I predicted Big Show vs. Shad Gaspard and Dolph Ziggler vs. Finlay after last week's SmackDown!. That's what I love about the blue brand -- it actually follows a logical thread sometimes. CM Punk and John Morrison will no doubt have another great match. |

Again, sounds like another solid show, for what? The 30th week in a row now?
Good work freebird! |

I don't think they will edit it, actually. They didn't pipe in stupid cheers of Slam Master J last week, and Todd Grisham just made a remark about SMJ still working on connecting with the WWE fans.
My guess is that The Hart Dynasty get cheered huge, and JR and Grish just pass it off as Canada being proud of its heroes. |

Matt should be nowhere near cleared to wrestle. The six-man proposed does make ideal sense, though.

Unless something big happens on our show, I'm going to RAW at the end of the month in Detroit. But with the way SD keeps being solid every week, so far I wish we had that instead.

Am I the only one who sort of think that Matt Hardy's face turn makes sense? I mean, I did love Mattitude, and he played his part well against Jeff, but besides that, heel Matt Hardy is just a bad idea. Especially when he has such a natural connection to crowds. They really want to cheer Matt, so why not let them? Especially when Hardy merchandise can continue to fly off the shelf through him.
The only downside is that SmackDown! needs heels, but if the plan is to have CM Punk at the top, then you kind of need top faces to battle against him. |

Great. Leave it to WWE Logic to ruin a good thing...just hope that Matt can get over enough as a face to win at least one of the "big ones" (WWE or World Championships) by the end of his career whenever that may come. I honestly felt like they could have built something tremendous off his heel run and would have been interested to see what would have gone down. But I guess we'll just have to see how things play out with face Matthew Moore Hardy for now...*SIGH*

Actually, Splaya, no offense here, but I feel like that is a 2-step plan and that both of those events will occur in pretty rapid succession...
