Smackdown **SPOILER**

**Team Sheep** · 05-22-2004, 07:25 PM

Who else really enjoyed it this week? I thought it was a really good show and one of the best Smackdown's I've seen in a while. Best match of the evening was Dupree vs Cena, and I thought it was the better than the match they had at the PPV. All the other matches were closely followed, and it was nice to see a show without Torrie Wilson for a change who can't wrestle to save her life. Thoughts?

This week was excellent.

The undertaker wasn't on smackdown this week, i wasn't too impressed overall i thought it was a decent show with a weak ending but nothing to really get over excited about. The ending was weak cos Eddie just collapsed because JBL attacked him backstage with a chair and shit and he didn't come in until the final few mins and ended up costing his team the match...which makes no sense whatsoever and makes Eddie look stupid. Though at the time it looked real ill give him credit for that, im still wodnering if it was meant to be like that(i think it was) but the ending was really odd i thought still. But Raw won this week in my opinion.

I thought it was a joke...a funny joke, but a joke nonetheless.

I only caught the last half, but I thought it was a pretty good show... much better than recently (not that that's saying much). The ending was solidly put together, and I love how they blurred the lines between fantasy and reality. Many people could have honestly been led to think that Eddie was legitimately hurt, and the best part was that even a person "in the know" (basically someone who knew Eddie still wasn't 100% due to all that blood loss at the PPV) could have been tricked.

So great suspense there. I missed Mordecai though.

Yes. Actually, the Mordecai part was a little...meh. I think it was because he came in on a match that I was hoping to see... an actual CW match that wasn't for the belt on the card... I like the guy, though. He seems interesting, and his look is great. He uses the Razor's Edge like a champ.

Smackdown was defnitely an improvement, and the ending was pretty cool.

I liked what happened with Layfield at the end. At first, he looked shocked, like he didn't know what to do. It even took him a second to go for the pin once he got in the ring, like he was thinking about it. Then, in true heel form, he goes for the cover and YELLS at the ref to make the count.

And Eddie sold the injuries well for pro wrestling. Yeah, I know, he's not exactly an Academy Award winner, but who in wrestling is?
