R U READY TO DOWN SOME SMACK??? Rampage in Roanoke

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.

One more Smackdown before The Great American Bash at the Beach! To get ready for The Bash we'll have to get ready for tonight by remembering what happened last week! See, I just recounted the intro! PADDING!

Anyway, as you've been reading the last few weeks, Smackdown has been dominated by a few, amazing feuds; CM Punk/Jeff Hardy/Edge, Chris Jericho/Rey Mysterio, and...Dolph Ziggler/The Great Khali??? Yes, the Big Zig has decided to make his mark on Smackdown by taking on the biggest, dumbest former World Champion this side of The Big Show.


The Great Khali is very large and Dolph Ziggler is an incompetent buffoon. This should be a cake walk. But is he really so incompetent? When Khali's interpreter distracted the ref for some reason, Ziggler found that to be an opportune moment. He got the deadliest weapon of all, the steel chair!

But rather then use it he just threw it at Khali and fell down! What a maroon!

Yes, we finally caught on to this tired meme. Up next: Chocolate Rain parodies.

And the referee disqualified The Great Khali? Even though he didn't hear the chair hit anything, see a dent in the chair? Or did he forget that Dolph Ziggler is an arrogant twerp who would not be above winning like this?

The subtitle makes this book interesting.

They'll bash again at a beach or something...

Here's a photo of Melina.

If she weren't wearing pants, I'd have a clear view of her vagina...

Now for the other feuds. Remember a few weeks back when Chris Jericho pretended to be a Rey Mysterio fan and got the drop on that hot tamale? Well two can play that game, as Rey Mysterio pretended to be a Chris Jericho Rey Mysterio fan and attack Rey Mysterio Chris Jericho.

Now notice, how the referee is watching Jeff Hardy's latest "episode." He didn't see this Mexican cross the border between fan and wrestler! Thus, a noticeably upset Jericho got counted out a.k.a. THE CHEAPEST WIN EVER!!! Well, Jeff Hardy couldn't have that.


Of course, Rey wasn't done tonight (last week!). He had a match with the World Champion, CM Punk! And Chris Jericho was guest commentator! Because that's not suspicious in the least!

Imagine John Madden doing color commentary wearing only briefs and championship gold

Anyway, I have a soft spot in my heart for the interns over at WWE.com. They come up with the most ridiculousness/awesome captions for their photos. But this one right here...well.

Above: Huh?

What does that even mean? How does a "true luchador" fight anguish?

Still, they thankfully redeemed themselves with this next beauty.

Har har

Then, after some predictable Jericho interference Mysterio went to sleep.

I wonder what it's like to lay bare backed on another man's sweaty, bare stomach...

And then for some reason, Jeff Hardy wanted to protest the match result due to the interference. Listen, your majesty, I know you were screwed out of your two title reigns. And I know your all tired and don't think things are fair. But quit being a bitch. Seriously. Quit being a bitch. It's not like you won your match clean.

I'm not liking this new fade of extreme facial closeups on a shirt (mind out of the gutter, people).

Last Smackdown before ANOTHER PPV. Better watch it tonight (or tomorrow, or whenever on hulu) at 8/7c (or after the Yankee game, if you live in NY) on MyNetwork TV (or hulu)!
