WWE Smackdown Discussions Thread - Mar. 17, 2006

How will Kurt Angle, Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio all be able to get on the same page in time for Saturday Night’s Main Event? General Manager Theodore Long thinks he has the solution. Just one day before Saturday Night's Main Event, the GM has ordered that the World Heavyweight Champion and his two WrestleMania challengers all team up together on SmackDown to take on WWE Tag Team Champions MNM and Mark Henry. Will the WrestleMania opponents be able to work as a team, or will the combustibility of the situation take over and cause them to be at each other's throats?

Plus, last week Undertaker challenged Mark Henry to a Casket Match at WrestleMania 22. Henry will be a part of the big six-man tag team main event, but will the World’s Strongest Man have something to say this week about the Casket Match?

For the last few weeks, Lashley and Finlay have been brawling inside and outside of the ring. Last week their Money in the Bank Qualifying Match never even got underway because they started fighting before Lashley even got in the ring. They ended up in the parking lot where Lashley literally flipped over a car. This week they will face each other in a Lumberjack Match, and the match will once agan serve as a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match for WrestleMania 22. Will the lumberjacks surrounding the ring be able to keep order long enough to see who will be heading to WrestleMania 22?

Two weeks ago Matt Hardy answered WWE Tag Team Champions MNM’s open challenge and his partner was Road Warrior Animal. The two seemed to have things going their way until Hardy called for Animal to go to the top for the Doomsday Device. The maneuver was broken up and Hardy was pinned. After the match a frustrated Road Warrior Animal attacked Hardy. Hardy laid out a challenge that Animal was more than happy to accept, and the two will meet in a Money inthe Bank Qualifying Match this week. Last week, Road Warrior Animal said that he carried Hawk in the Legion of Doom and that his last partner Heidenreich and Hardy were screw-ups. He also said he was done with tag teams and is only looking out for himself. Can the tag team legend get his singles career off to a hot start, or will Hardy exact some revenge?

Tune in to Friday Night SmackDown for all of this and more at 8/7 CT on UPN.

This Smackdown actually looks pretty good to me and from what I remember from the spoilers, it wasn't too bad of a show either. DirtyDarren

Spoilers much

"I can explain... Joey's a pervert" that has to be the greatest one-liner MNM has ever used. trick_man01

that was freaking hilarious. however, the way melina took that magazine and told Joey and Johnny to use their imagination was creepy.

Burchill is plain awesome. I love the whole look, gimmick, and push of him on the whole. I shall make a rant about him and his gimmick shortly.

Anywho, SD! was really good this week. Solid show really. I am just disappointed with how Hardy's been treated lately though. I know he won by DQ but common, give the guy a clean win over Animal for God's sake.

I agree.  Burchill's finisher was CRAZY! "Walk the plank" or something like that.  That's kind of a cliche name though.  I think he should call it "Swashbuckler". (lol)

That may be. I really wasn't paying too much attention to the match.  I heard Cole call it "Walk the plank", then Taz said he has to find out what it's called. C4? I don't know, did they have C4 in pirate times? I think you're finisher name should fit your character. At least to an extent.

I thought it remained called the "C4".hbk91

As for Burchill on the whole, I've filed him under the "stupid but entertaining" category, because I am enjoying the campiness of the pirate gimmick and, unlike the Boogeyman, Cap'n Jack Birchall is actually good in the ring, too.  He and Regal looked better together in the ring this week over last week.  However, the camerawork during that mixed Tag was terrible, as it would just randomly focus on... Birchall's partner and miss whatever was happening in the ring.

For the show on the whole, Smackdown was ridiculously better than Raw.

Yeah, the camera was repetitively fixed close up on Krystal during the match up. Mind you, she's quite a decent wrestler though. I wouldn't mind seeing her end up in Raw's women division someday.

On the note of SD! divas, I am beginning to like Sharmell. I think she overacted completely when she was announcing Booker T on the rampway yet she covered it up real well as the segment passed by. Great entertainment too.

Yeah, I noticed that too.  That was why I really couldn't focus on the match itself, which otherwise was good.

Also, SD was better than RAW this week.

On another note, could somebody rate this RVD sig I made.  I'd appreciate any tips or pointers anyone may have, I'm still learning.  If you like it, you can take it.
