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.
LOL, Wresslin's Brand Outreach Program continues as I, Laugh Twin Matt, provide this week's recap of Smackdown. It took me a while to find MyNetwork TV (I thought you had to pay for that! Who knew?), and since I never watch Smackdown, I entered this as a complete novice. Let's take a look at what happened.
Apparently Jeff Hardy has fallen on misfortune again. Last time it was an "overdose," this time a car wreck. But he's fine, they say, and we'll hear from him a little later. Something tells me this is possibly a work...only time will tell.
Hey, Triple H is on this show! All this time I thought he was injured. I suppose this is better. Trips is said to have insulted the "general manager" Vickie Guerrero by saying she's fat. Now, how can it be an insult when it's true?
Hunter has to fight in three matches tonight (a trio of matches for a trio of H's!), each with a different stipulation, and all proving that Vickie is a vengeful bitch. The first is versus John Morrison in a tables match. Since there wouldn't be much drama if HHH got his butt whipped this early in the show, he, of course, wins.
Undertaker is here too? What's the deal with all these WWE stars on Smackdown? He's facing a the U.S. Champion Shelton Benjamin. I thought he was in Cryme Tyme, but I guess I was wrong.
Undertaker won. It wasn't for the belt thought. I guess on Smackdown they don't give the strap to people who deserve it.
Finally a little more on this car crash that Hardy was involved in. The WWE got their hands on the dash cam footage, and we see Hardy with his girlfriend next to their car in a ditch. Jeff says they were going about 40 miles per hour, and the car that ran them off the road was going about 60. Apparently Jeff has a radar detector installed in his car. The cop asks for Hardy's name.
Alright, so here comes Michelle McCool. Adam seems to like her. She's teamed up with Victoria against the Bella Twins. And look here! McCool lets Victoria do all the fighting! She loses, naturally, and here comes McCool to beat her up for losing what amounted to a handicapped match. So let's get this straight: McCool shows off early, acts like a limp fish for most of night, and then berates you when you finish early. No wonder Adam digs her.
Triple H is here for his second match - a handicap match against The Miz and Chavo Guerrero, which pretty much equals a regular match. Trips won this one too, but only after Chavo sat out on being tagged in and left The Miz there to take his medicine.
MVP hosted the VIP Lounge, and since he's walked out on too many restaurant checks, people came to repossess his set furniture. Now that's just ridiculous. You'd think the WWE paid for that furniture, at least. Poor MVP. Oh, and the Boogeyman appeared and slammed him in the middle of the ring. Stay strong, MVP, and remember, "Yes you can."
Surprises are coming left and right tonight as it turns out Smackdown has their very own Tag Team titles! Isn't that cute? And they put them on Carlito and some dude named Primo Rectum, I believe. Odd name, but I'll let it slide. They're defending their belts against The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel. Let's head to the tape...
What made this match amazing though was not what happened in the ring, though. No, Tazz worked into his commentary the word "Shamwow." How did they know I was going to be watching this week??
Jeff Hardy came on and said he wouldn't be at Smackdown for a week, but he would be back for the Royal Rumble. Well, isn't that convenient? Pssh, big deal.
Finally, Triple H had his third match, and of course, they saved the best for last!
What's that? They didn't? It was a Last Man Standing match versus the Big Show? Ugh...I don't even feel like writing about it.
So! There you have it! Maybe I'll tune in again tonight...you can join me on MyNetwork TV at 8/7c!
