Just finished watching SmackDown there, though for some reason, the Intercontinental Title match and what happened after it was completely edited out.

It went straight from the end of Batista vs Kane, to Chris Jericho vs The Undertaker.

Also, the majority of CM Punk's promo introducing Luke Gallows was edited out also.

heh, you should have seen the UK edition.

Straight from Unlimited title shots vs Kane to Taker vs Jericho. I thought it was strange the the IC title would main event, but it went after. Then that match ended, the backstage bit wasn't shown and the show ended with Batista coming out to do commentary on the Taker vs Jericho match.

This was after the Punk promo from when he introduced the new Festus ws cut, up until the point that Hardy came out criticising him for slating Jeff Hardy which we didn't even hear.

I'm downloading from now on.

Good show so far.


I say with all honesty that I would rather listen to CM Punk yammer on the mic than anyone else in the company. He is golden.

I've only watched SD on and off for the past few years so I haven't noticed, but is it my imagination, or is Striker trying to play a heel commentator without actually being straight heel?

No, that seems to be what he is doing.

I saw the IC Title match. Was nothing great, but nothing too spectacular. I actually like Escobar enough. He just needs an interesting program. Well, any sort of program. Have Vickie Guerrero use her "consultant" powers to get Chavo Guerrero on SmackDown!, and put Guerrero & Escobar together as a tag team.

I think Striker may be trying to continue what J.R. was doing at times on SmackDown, which was just being the "smart" commentator. If a heel did something smart but bended the rules, he commended them for it. I remember J.R. being a supporter of C.M. Punk when the heel turn first started, talking about how smart Punk was to capitalize on opportunities and avoid risks unlike Jeff Hardy.

Striker's been less subtle about it, but I do like it. To me, matches are a lot more fun to watch when both announcers don't spend the entire time complaining about a heel's tactics.

It annoys me how Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole are apparently best buddies. There's no tension there, so they might as well be saying the same thing. King needs to be freshened up, badly. Either that, or he needs to be given time off, and someone else should work on RAW.

They aren't really allowed to have tension with one another. They have shit constantly being yelled into their ear and are pretty much told how to play their characters, from what I've been led to understand. If Jerry lawler was given freedom I bet you he'd be 100000000000000x more entertaining even if he just babbled about puppies for hours.

Not to mention Lawler doesn't even follow the product. Taken from the main page.

At television this past week, both Jesse Ventura and Jerry Lawler were given graphics on the announcers desk, or cheat sheets, to look at that have the photos of all the wrestlers in multiple person matches. In Lawler’s case, he never watches ECW nor Smackdown!. In the case of Ventura for the Breakthrough Battle Royal, he likely wouldn’t have known most of the wrestlers in the match, plus with both going live there was no chance to edit later.

Oh, I have no doubt that is how they are told to play their characters. I just don't see the point. I would be much more entertained by King-Cole if King constantly bitched about how second-rate his partner was. There might as well just be Michael Cole calling matches on RAW the way the WWE handles things.

Ugh, if this is true, then I would fire Jerry Lawler. The man was good in the day, but he's easily replaced now. The WWE has got plenty of people who can replace King. Maybe JBL is ready to be re-hired and do some color commentary alongside Cole again?

Just for the record, the non-Raw people to appear in matches this past Monday: Dolph Ziggler, Finlay, CM Punk, R-Truth, Michelle McCool, Layla, Mickie James, The Harts, Cryme Tyme. Not exactly a group that would call for visual cues to get names right...the only ones that haven't been featured on Raw or PPV's in the recent past are the Harts; even R-Truth was at Survivor Series the night before.

I would think that kind of thing is unacceptable. Even if you can't see the shows due to travel, you should at least have a vague idea of storylines on the other shows and a rudimentary knowledge of everyone on the main roster. No wonder Vince has to feed lines to them -- Lawler doesn't have a clue what he's looking at half the time these days.

You think they stopped letting Festus work for a while so he could get into somewhat presentable physical condition?

It wouldn't surprise me.
