I had to watch this via youtube, as well as the Rock's return, when you compare the two clips it just shows how stale WWE it is currently :shifty: to what is was way back in the Attitude era when I was into it.

Anyway, Smackdown looks pretty standard but there's what looks like a great promo to kick start the Cody/Rey feud. Dusty Rhodes looks like he'll be playing a role :D


I'm all for cody having a storyline and a feud but this sounds like another situation where rey will win 90% of the matches and confrontations but he will be treated like the underdog that has to overcome the odds. I'm bored of rey.

This weeks SD spoilers, for some reason there's no really any mention of storylines or backstage segments though :?

(1) Rey Mysterio beat Kane.

(2) Rosa Mendes beat Layla via DQ.

(3) Jack Swagger beat Intercontinental champion Kofi Kingston in a non-title match.

(4) Big Show beat Wade Barrett. After the match, the rest of The Corre came out and attacked Big Show. He grabbed a chair and scared them away. About five minutes later, they re-shot that piece. This time, Justin Gabriel received a chair shot to the head.

(5) World Hvt. champion Edge & Kelly Kelly beat Drew McIntyre & Vickie Guerrero in the TV main event. Vickie was "fired" as a result of her team losing. After the match, Alberto Del Rio attacked Edge.

***

Dark Match Main Event: World Hvt. champion Edge & Big Show beat Alberto Del Rio & The Corre (Wade Barrett & Ezekiel Jackson & WWE tag champions Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater) in a handicap match. The Corre was winning, then Undertaker's music hit and the place exploded. Undertaker walked out a few feet, then walked backstage. Big Show chokeslammed Barrett to get the win.

Any ideawhy the Corre handicap match was a Dark Match? I got excited when i read that Undertaker made a brief appearance potentially hinting that Barrett is on his radar( like i said a page or so ago). That match sounds way better than the actual "TV main event"

I wonder what will happen with Cole if he does get involved in a Wrestlemania match with King. Afterwards will he stop being a heel and go back to calling the action down the middle? Will he sit back next to King like nothing happened the following night on Raw? Will this mean a return to King and JR with Cole just on Smackdown? Who will call their match at 'Mania (and the rest of the show?)

I always love posting positive things as that’s the focus in my life. However life brings about unexpected things and I feel being a public figure it’s my duty to share. On Sunday I suffered a miscarriage! I have both physically and mentally been through a lot of trauma! I have seen the Doc and there must have been a genetic defect and this angel wouldn’t have been able to survive in the outside world! It’s so difficult to say goodbye yet I know through my FAITH that there is a reason for everything! “With Faith there is no Fear!”

If anyone out there has ever gone through this you know the difficulty in this! I humbly ask for your respect in letting me keep this matter private beyond this mention! I love you guys and appreciate you respecting my family’s privacy in this matter!

“It’s not about how many times you get knocked off the horse but how GRACEFULLY you get back up!”

What a beautiful saying! The best thing for me right now is all the prayers! I have received many txts, tweets, and messages of support and I really appreciate them! They have truly uplifted me in this time of need!

Remember to be grateful for what you have!

I have decided to keep my appearance this weekend in Miami and have gotten clearance from the doc to fly! I would really enjoy seeing you CandiAddicts out there at Wizard World! I’ll be walking the red carpet sat morn and there sat and sun!

God bless you all and thank you for your love and support!

Ooooh. If the documentary actually features Jericho talking about each stage of his career à la Bret Hart, I might just have to buy it, even though I'm planning to shed almost all of my wrestling DVDs pretty soon.

Pell drops a few points over his rivals with his risks not paying off. He had more than enough of a lead to chance it though. Drumstick wins the PPV by managing that one point more than what seemed like everyone.

Thanks to the newcomers we now have our 50th GRAPL entrant :D So no surprises. Pell is still top but now his lead is only 7 points. given that the final round has 27 points available he still has plenty of room to throw it away. Looks like the big feud is for third place. Only the top three get prizes remember.
