Matt and Adam take the brand extension very seriously. They each only identify with one brand and actively follow it. Matt bleeds Raw red and Adam has Smackdown blue coarsing through his veins. Being soldiers in the ongoing war for brand supremacy has charged both of them up enough to provide handy recaps of the previous week's show. That way, no new viewers will feel lost. Thus, every Monday and Friday, we here at LOL, Wresslin' will offer you a refresher. Hey, it's the least we can do.
Boo! Ha! Happy Halloween kiddies! Tonight's Smackdown is sure to be quite the treat as the WWE is coming off Cyber Sunday. We are beginning the build towards the Thanksgiving tradition known as Survivor Series, so let's get prepared by seeing how democracy in action affected the blue show!
Fans must have been in a festive mood, because they voted Jeff Hardy into the WWE championship match, despite how Vladimir Kozlov has been crushing lately. Kozlov only got 7% of the vote, because WWE fans still think we're in the Cold War. Seriously though, 7%? That's quite a lot of egg on that man's face. A nasty trick to be played for sure. They may as well have made him smell their feet.
Regardless, it was still a pretty good match, with the action being fast paced and a good story about Jeff trying again to climb the mountain. Good spot with him going for a second Swanton, since HHH kicked out of one during their last match.
However, having an uncertain opponent was still no trouble for the Game. Know why? Because he's the Game!
Although Matt alluded to this in the Raw recap, all the lovely WWE Divas participated in a fan ballot Halloween costume contest, with the winner getting...umm...uhhh...some candy corn? I have no idea. Unfortunately, our Divas champion Michelle McCool did not win, despite her completely impractical solider costume. Oh, I'm sorry. Anytime a girl wears a costume it's called "sexy." Of course, in her case, I ain't complaining.
Mickie James is a Raw girl, so I should hate her guts, but I've got a major league crush on her, so I'm running this picture anyway. She's boo-tiful.
The founding fathers felt that all (white) men should have the right to vote freely, and the WWE echoed their sentiment by allowing us to vote for the stipulation of the Big Show/Undertaker match. We have spoken, and we want a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH!!
This match was the slugfest you expected it to be, with numerous standing eight counts. However, in the spirit of the season, the Dead Man came through by using an illegal choke hold to knock the Big Show down. Why do we cheer this rule breaker? Because this match had no holds barred!
What tag teams will begin to form for Survivor Series? Will Zangief finally get his shot at M.Bison? Will we ever find out what MVP did to be jobbed out again? These answers (possibly) and more, tonight 8/7 c MyNetwork TV!
