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)

The Granddaddy of them all! Jericho defeats legends; brawls with Rourke

Wrestlemania was last night, so rather then have one "Oh Baby I like it RAW!" updating the entire night we're going to periodically update the blog today, highlighting each match with its own post. We will follow the order of the show.

Chris Jericho vs "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, "Super Fly" Jimmy Snuka, and Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat with Ric Flair in their corner in an elimination handicap match.

For a theme song to accompany this post, please press play and enjoy...



You know who didn't like The Wrestler? Certainly not us. We loved it! Chris Jericho didn't like it. He thought it was paying homage to old broken down horses when all the emphasis should be on him, Chris Jericho! Ooo..what a young punk! Anyway, the very recent world heavyweight champion took on these three specimens.

Piper and Snuka should never be allies.

And it doesn't get much better then that. Look at this elevation:

FAIL

Or what about this Superfly tamer old Lionheart locked in:

He may be able to hook a hooka, but Jericho can hook a Snuka.

And although in fantastic shape for an old-ass man (hell, even a young-ass man), even The Dragon's boat ran out of steam.


So you probably think that's it. Jericho proved his point and beat up a few octogenarians. Well, YOU'D BE WRONG! Ric Flair brought in his secret weapon, star of The Wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson!

Umm...Rammy looks a little small there..

Err... we meant Mickey Rourke. Still, he used to be a professional boxer, so don't count him ou-

"If you've ever seen something sad that rhymes with 'me' then you've seen me"

Take that, you Canadian jackass! Come on Ric, let's go ahead and dance the night away!

Nice hat, shit dick.

Next up: Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy
