R U READY TO DOWN SOME SMACK??? The WWE Hates Us edition

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.

Obviously the No Way Out pay-per-view was last Sunday. This is normally where we do a recap of the PPV, because the events there are the new status quo. But in this case, why bother? Seriously. This was a five match card, only one of which dedicated to Smackdown. So I need to ask myself, if the WWE won't give the effort, why should I?

It's not even like I have a huge thing to recap. One match. One frickin' elimination chamber match. And it opened the show! What kind of disrespect is that!? The Smackdown elimantion chamber had all the top stars of the brand..and it opens the show? There's no way Kane and Mike Knox (OMG) should be anywhere near sniffing a main event. True, John Cena and all, but it shouldn't matter.

Anyway, Matt sort of spoiled my recap when he mentioned that Edge won Raw's World Heavyweight bout after he already lost the WWE title earlier that night. So, for the sake of full disclosure, HHH shocked no one by winning his 13th world title.


Still, on the bright side, Smackdown now has two champions! Get blinded by all the gold tonight at 8/7c, MoiNetwork Television!
