Let me start off by saying I'm glad that wrestling reviews are being revived again. It's always good to read a member's opinion of every wrestling show.

We start off with a Chris Jericho, Teddy Long, Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio segment. Nice way to build the main event, which is Jericho vs Hardy and if Jericho wins he gets added into the main event at Judgement Day.

Mike Knox vs R-truth

What does WWE see in Mike Knox? He has absolutely no charisma and a horrendous beard won’t help. There are better big men out there. Not to mention, he has a generic finisher. How much further does R-truth have to be buried before he gets released? He hits a finisher but Knox barely takes 2 seconds to kick up.

Michelle Mccool vs Gail Kim

The two best female wrestlers on Smackdown in a match. It has to be good right? Damn right you are. There was psychology, there was high spots and the action was at a relatively fast pace for a women’s match. I would love to see more of the two together.

John Morrison vs Charlie Haas

The hints are here. WGTT seems like they’re getting back together. My television was down so I didn’t get to see this match but I would like to see WGTT together. But please don’t put Morrison back into a tag team. He deserves to get his shot to show that he can be a face.

Edge vs CM Punk

A really good match but we all know that it will not lead to anything between the two of them. Smart way to end the match without making the current champion look weak. What we do know now is that Punk would probably not be using his MITB suitcase anytime soon. 2 weeks already and still no explanation on why he’s picking on Punk.

Another completely pointless segment between Eve and Layla that basically jus repeated what happened last week. Either way I hate this angle. Shows how much the Diva Search is worth.

Dolph Ziggler vs Great Khali

Dolph gets himself disqualified that pushes his heel heat further and yet doesn’t make either of them look weak. Personally getting a jobber like Jesse or Funaki to job to him would have made more sense, but I guess they wanted to cut down on television time.

Jeff Hardy vs Chris Jericho

The thing about this matchup was that we didn’t really know how it could have gone either way. Chris Jericho could just have easily been inserted into the main event and it would have been seamless. I love how Chris Jericho is making himself the nemesis of Smackdown where nobody likes.

Another solid Smackdown. Good matches, good plots, good buildup. I would think that right now, Raw is actually lacking Smackdown in terms of the current storyline.

Mike Knox's beard > You!

I do have to agree about this being yet another solid episode of SD. To be honest, its not even close how much better SD is when compared to RAW.

Great SD tonight. I give more in depth thoughts in the official thread for the show, but man, another solid show. Raw is gonna have to pick it up. Until this week, Raw was having a good string of very good shows (IMO), but this week just didn't click for me. SD has now strung together two weeks of shows that were better than Raw.

In response to some of your thoughts...
-I don't know what your beef is with Eve/Layla. Not interested? Cool, say so. That's enough. But you've been strongly against it for some reason, lol. Just use it as a piss break if you don't like it. Mainly, it just gets Cryme Tyme some air time, and doesnt' do any harm either. It's agood way of getting those two divas on TV.
-Ya, it does look like WGTT is back. I'm pretty sure they are. It was a good match, too.
-I agree with you about the Dolph thing. It did both men favors.

The thing about Eve and Layla is that neither of them will help improve the other. Having them feud with a proven wrestler like Mickie James would help to improve how they perform in the ring, and they'll hopefully learn how to sell better. After a finisher by Layla, Eve gets back up like anything barely happened.

We are in different ballparks with Mike Knox. I honestly think he is underused. I really thought with a solid push, he could be a very good monster heel. I mean why wouldn't he be? He has the look for a monster heel and he's a pretty good worker for his size; with a manager to hide his flaws on the mic, he could be a good solid monster heel.
