Did anyone else notice that they didn't censor when The Rock said "Go Heat, bitch" to Michael Cole in the video package from Raw? I find it especially odd since they censored it live. I don't get it.

This was a pretty good Smackdown, if anyone was paying attention.

If only Smackdown stopped airing 15-20 min of Raw each time, it will get even better. But ya, pretty good show

Guys, The Rock only has ONE birthday a year. A little respect, please.

I'm a bit surprised Alicia Fox didn't looked scared shitless when Kharma was in the ring.. And tried to roundhouse kick her ass.. Nice try but BAMMMM!!! I noticed Alicia despite her lack of power and strength, she almost has the same height as Kharma and could easily take her one on one.

Checking out his videos on youtube right now, I like what I see so far. Of course it helps that I can understand what he is saying in Punjabi but then take a gander at his finisher:
At ~3:28. Not sure how to do the "Start at specific time" thing in the newer embed codes. |

Calling it now: Jinder Mahal and The Great Khali will be the next WWE World Tag Team champions.

Interesting on Mahal. I wonder if they will have him spewing nonesense at the live crowds in Persian in an effort to draw heat. That finisher is great, but I can't see him pulling off a gutbuster on the main event portion of the roster. Gonna have to come up with something else. Knowing WWE, the Camel Clutch shall return.

Great episode of SmackDown!, but I hope they don't do the mood lighting for Sin Cara's matches for an extended period of time.

Yeah, what is the deal with that? How much do they need the guy to stand out? It feels like they're trying too hard, and honestly, it's sort of turning me off to the guy.

Can't help but think that with the mugging on Ezekiel Jackson this was their way of setting him up to be released and just have him replaced with someone else.

Then why have him go over Big Show? Seems like they want to try another singles push for him...possibly as a face...just like they were doing for about ten minutes before he joined The Corre.

I hope Skip Sheffield returns and takes Zeke's place as The Corre's muscle.

The leg is probably healed, but I wonder how much atrophy his big ass had in that leg and what rehab he will do so he doesn't walk like he has a peg-leg.

Yeah, he had broken his ankle, had a major surgery, was slated for a return around Mania, then had a setback and needed another surgery. Poor guy.

I didn't realize this entirely, but this is even funnier when you realize Christian got jobbed out in Orlando.

Yeah, Zeke is going to get a mammoth push as a face. Sin Cara and Zeke will be the "rising star" focus on SmackDown! for at least the near future. I also think they have big plans for Jinder Mahal, since it's quite rare to see someone get called up without being on NXT or something. I think the last two were Sin Cara and Alberto Del Rio? I haven't seen much of Mahal's work, but he seems well traveled, and I'm sorta interested in this Khali stuff. He seems to be trying to bring the monster back out of Khali. Whether that means they'll be partners or if they'll feud remains to be seen.
I also liked Chavo on commentary. He was being a cocky bastard, but at the same time, he showed a sporting attitude towards Sin Cara. I'm not hoping for anything more than him to be temporarily treated as someone special just so Sin Cara can defeat him, but as a Chavo mark I like the depth he's been getting with this and NXT. I kind of want to see Daniel Bryan & Ezekiel Jackson find someone else, and team up to face The Corre. |

Essentially, yes. Actually, a good third person for the group would be William Regal. The days of dreaming for an actual Regal push went out with 2008 and Regal's second wellness suspension, but with his interesting, face-ish role on NXT, him being drafted to SmackDown! and his past connections with Ezekiel Jackson and Daniel Bryan -- a Corre vs. Ezekiel Jackson, Daniel Bryan & William Regal match would be greatly appreciated by this viewer for Over the Limit.
And if Regal and Bryan bust out matching burgundy trunks, and Jackson sticks to his red ones -- Apple references will be all the more relevant. ![]() |

Also, just throwing this out there: If Christian does turn heel against Randy Orton, I'd absolutely love it if he started busting out his own RKO/Diamond Cutter-style move to get at Randy. If Matt Striker were on commentary, I'm sure he could link it to DDP's brief time as a student of DDP's.

Dunno why but I always enjoyed the record-scratch, slow version of Christian's "At Last" theme:
Still has nothing on the Waterproof Blonde version of "Just Close Your Eyes" but it's a close 2nd in my book. |
