R U READY TO DOWN SOME SMACK??? Wild West

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.

Part Deux of WWE's "Denver Debacle" took place on Smackdown as it was live (to tape) from the Staples Center in Los Angeles! Of course, without the thrill of WWE's version of the NBA playoffs, Smackdown was could be perceived as being a little lackluster. Of course, a lackluster Smackdown is still probably the best two hours of wrestling on television of any given week. Still, here are the main crib notes of what happened.

1) Mickey Rourke was in the crowd.

Why does he think he could leave the memories alone?

2) Michelle McCool looked stupid hot.

Those abs remind me of six beers

Michelle's been known to wear crosses on her tights because she's a Christian. And what do good Christians do? They wear tube tops to their job that objectifies them and date Satanic dead people!


3) Chris Jericho and Edge are the best heels in the last five years.

Edge and Jericho are in the top two programs on Smackdown right now. So Booking 101 would dictate that these heels would team up and take on their face counterparts in a main event tag. And that's what just what they did. But here is where the brilliance comes in:

Rey Mysterio comes out to the ring like he is wont to do. And he does his usual "touch heads with a little kid in a Rey Mysterio mask" bit that makes little kids love him so much.

"Stay close...I'd hate to lose your custody in a ladder match"

But..wait a second! The little tyke doesn't love Rey! He attacks him! What a weakling Rey Mysterio is!



Oh sweet jebus...that wasn't a kid! That's a man! Chris Jericho!

Yo Double Dawg...

So yea. Totally brilliant sneak attack. Chris Jericho rules. However, here's where things get a little...stupid. Jeff Hardy, who was to be Rey's tag partner, decides that rather then take the night off due to his opponents' illegal tactics, he will wrestle the current World Heavyweight Champion and his partner, a man who's won many, many titles, in a handicap match. I know, a handicap match on WWE programming! What a surprise! Still though, this is the thought patterns of a man with impaired judgement.

"I've got an idea! Let's get an eight ball- it'll last us all weekend!"

Anyway, this was dumb.

Only one place this can go...

...that's about right.

Real dumb.

There's a PPV on Sunday. So you better watch tonight and see what they do to get you ready for it! 8/7c, MyNetwork TV (or whenever you want on Hulu.com)
