R U READY TO DOWN SOME SMACK??? vol 8.

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 coursing 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.

The big question going into last Sunday's Survivor Series was "Who will survive and what will be left of them? Well those questions were answered and we now have the landscape ready to take us into the twelfth month- the month of Armageddon!

The big news of the night was that the triple threat WWE title match had been changed back to a one on one because Jeff Hardy was found on the floor of his hotel lobby at 3 am. Damn dude. I suppose we'll be having a Self Destruction of Jeff Hardy DVD in about ten years.

Heath Ledger asked the same way

Survivor Series had numerous inter-brand matches on the card, so Matt covered a lot of them, but let me just say this: Smackdown. I'm disappointed in you. You only had one survivor in the traditional Survivor Series elimination tag matches, and you also bickered amongst yourself and had TWO individual matches. I didn't see Raw do that. Here, take a look at who decided to eliminate our favorite Hummer H2 driver:

Good enough

All so you can stand with those guys? They'll never accept you, Khali. You were there puppet! Now go call Adam Sandler and plead for a role in his next movie.



Also, the Undertaker and the Big Show locked it up, one more time on pay-per-view. However, this time is was in a CASKET MATCH! Egad, the sheer terror and carnage that must be unleashed to not only get one of these behemoths into the casket. And then, imagine the hatred one must feel to actually shut that casket lid, thereby giving the fallen combatant the horror of being inside a receptacle for burying the deceased. This is going to be barbaric.

Or very slow and a little boring.

Most exciting part of the match

Anyway, Big Show continued the Guerrero tradition of being thrown into caskets. Look for Undertaker/Bigshow XXXIX at Armageddon, on this time it'll be a pie eating contest.





Finally, our main event was the barn burner that is HHH and Vladimir Kozlov. The crowd, firmly behind the United States, adopted the Connecticut blue blood/French Canadian immigrant as their own, and cheered him on to a resounding rally. He was about to pin the unbeaten Moscow Mauler when suddenly, General Manager Vicki Guerrero appeared on the ramp!

Viva la raza!

Yes! Jeff Hardy has risen from the ashes to... OMG! That's not him! That's...it can't be! He's been gone for weeks!

Nice beard, Mike Knox (OMG!!!) Version 2.0

Quick side note. How lucky for Edge that this match didn't end before he decided to show up for the pay-per-view.

Well gee, seems like Jeff really did have a prob- OMG! He's here! He's here! And I bet he's pissed!

Unreliable and prone to destructive behavior...

Alas, it was not to be, as the ultimate opportunist pulled out the win and is our champion. At least we can still take solace in the fact that THE CHAMP IS THERE!!!11!!11!
