Sounds like a good show especially the ending.

That was one of the few things I actually loved, besides the druids about their WM XX encounter was hearing the (somewhat) high pitched wail of "OOOOOOOHHHHHHH YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!..." from PB before Undertaker made his way on-stage...fucking epic. Too bad the match itself was so horrendous.

Just saw the Bearer return segment, that was pretty fucking sweet. Paul still looks great, and when Taker did the classic pose with the ern, I actually marked a little bit.

7 mins in for Bearer.
Either he's gained weight or he's in a fat suit. |

Striker and Grisham did the best thing possible and kept quiet most of the time. I sorely missed the ecstatic JR voice there.

The crowd does bother me, though. If this were just a few years ago that crowd would be going apeshit during the beat down. They go completely silent at one point.

JR: A sudden chill is all around us, ladies and gentlemen, as the blue smoke permeates the entire ringside. Kane seems perturbed by it though, which should nothing else than worrying for us.
Lawler: Look, JR- The druids or whatever those creatures are have left the ringside leaving behind that casket. Kane seems to be in two minds about approaching it. JR: Anyone in their right mind would walk the other way, King, but Kane is a monster that has lost his mind. Is the Undertaker in the casket, like he was at Summerslam? Kane has opened that casket and.. MY GOD, King, is that.. is that?? IT IS! MY GOD IT IS PAUL BEARER! PAUL BEARER! PAUL BEARER! He has that urn as well. We last saw him 4 years ago and who knows why.. Oh dear lord the lights have gone off. The gong! Undertaker's Gong! The lights are bac.. Undertaker is in the ring. So is Paul Bearer! Oh the humanity! |

I could do without the music but Kane's over produced promos are growing on me.

My only issue was the videos on the tron while he spoke. And then WWE showed the same videos a 100 times over the next few days.

If they would've saved this for the live show, think how crazy it really would've been.

Only for us who read the spoilers before hand, so it wouldn't have mattered much in the bigger scheme of things.

Which could have easily been done ON the PPV in a promo and just ended this week's SmackDown! with what they did with Taker. Go black with Taker's eyes rolled up into his head then do the Kane promo next week. |

Who's to say they don't have something big planned out for the live smackdown as it is? Wait till it's over before lamenting.

I don't know what they could possibly do that's bigger than Paul Bearer's return. A promo with Bearer, maybe have a brawl in the Cell to preview the PPV? Doesn't really live up to it "IMO".

Oh I don't know, maybe getting back some members of the fucking Ministry of Darkness?? Like I said, there are possibilities (although most of them won't ever happen)

Cody Rhodes has a fourth version of his ring jacket already and they've all been pretty awesome. Kaval vs Chavo stole the show, which wasn't exactly hard on this episode, but still, it was a good match. Tag title match and Ziggler/MVP were also pretty good.
Hawkins and Archer got totally buried, both in the ring and on commentary. Luke Gallows is another guy who is up in the air, don't know where he can possibly go from here (other than jobbing on Superstars). On the plus side the Dudebusters seem to be finally getting some screen time and might actually get a small face push. Christian also went out strong considering he was in an injury angle, hopefully they remember how over he was when he comes back. I marked for Bearer ![]() |

Perhaps they should move Luke Gallows, Hawkins, JTG & Archer to RAW? They're not really doing much on SmackDown! at the moment, and they might be able to get renewed pushes on RAW. Hawkins & Archer with Edge & Ryder as a new version of The Rated-R Entourage, perhaps? Gallows can just be a big face who helps protect a little guy and forms a tag team, and JTG can be himself and do some comedy segments to remind people that they're meant to be behind him. Trade them for Primo, William Regal, Goldust & Yoshi Tatsu. They could actually wrestle on SmackDown!, and as far as WWE gimmicks go, someone like Goldust might be good for SyFy.
This is a bit of a weird thought, as I don't really see too many guys coming into this feud (like some have mentioned, The Ministry of Darkness, for example), with The Dudley Boyz being free agents, they at least have a connection to Paul Bearer. What if Kane brought them in as followers to try and take out The Undertaker? |

I watched the show without reading spoilers (as I have been trying to do recently) and the Bearer thing was cool. There was a lot of talk about him in other threads but I thought that was just wishful thinking.
I can't recommend staying away from spoilers enough. |

Also, I really dislike what they're doing with Big Show at the minute. Aside from the "Happy, Go-Lucky Giant" gimmick (which sucks) I can't see the benefit of repeatedly purring him over multiple guys (SES, now Archer & Hawkins).
What did that match achieve? Has it gt Big Show into a new fued? No. All it's done is make a mockery out of a tag team that could be doing well in the already shallow tag dvision. I only hope they have Hawkins & Archer attack Big Show backstage next week but again, what does that achieve? Who wants to see a fued between Hawkins/Archer and the Big Show when we've already seen him dispatch them with ease? |

I gotta say, I'm a huge fan of Kane's overproduced promos. With anyone else they'd be cheesy as hell, but with Kane it works and I love it. Makes me hang on to every word he says.

yep, it's cool seeing others like Xero warming up to it. the production levels work so well for such a deranged character as Kane.

Yeah, Kane is one of the most convincing psychopath characters in the wrestling world, and has been for several years now. It's great to see him able to do it more - he's such a great talker when they let him on the mic.

But I thought the exact same thing as you did. Next week, I'd love it if they attacked Big Show backstage with steel chairs and wrote him off for a few weeks. Just a way for them to get some heat. They are all about "making an impact," after all. I wouldn't mind seeing them aligned with Dolph Ziggler, Vickie Guerrero & LayCool, either. |
