I’ve contemplated with submitting to ECW and their horrible booking, but the booking had nothing to do with me quitting ECW 10 Thoughts. It was the release of Colin Delaney. So I dropped ECW and picked up Smackdown. Let’s see how this turns out…
The thoughts start now…
1. Shelton Benjamin had one of the smoothest and fluent matches I’ve seen from Jeff in recent memory. Everything moved along fast, they got more than a few of their spots in, and the ending was perfect; a run in by MVP. MVP got the upperhand last week. Hardy came out on top this week and that evens out the heat for their match at Sunday. This kind of reminds me of the Kofi Kingston/Shelton Benjamin feud because just like Kofi and Shelton, Jeff and MVP mesh together perfectly.
2. Tazz is still annunciating “frustration” as “fusstratin'”. Jim Ross now has a new name for Hardy’s Swanton Bomb; “SWAH-TAW!”. Best commentary duo ever.
3. Is it just me or is Vickie getting hotter and hotter every night? …It is just me, isn’t it?
4. SmackDown has the ugliest titles out of any wrestling promotion. John Cena’s bling title is still the World Title, the United States title looks like someone took scissors to an American flag, and the new Divas title looks like a Bratz toy.
5. Michelle McCool and Natalya are not only sexy, but they can actually wrestle when they have some time. They’re match at Great American Bash wasn’t so good, but it wasn’t that bad either. Tonight, McCool pulled out some moves that really shocked me.
6. The Brian Kendrick and Zeek’s gimmick development is moving along nicely. We finally got to see a little action out of Zeek after he shoulder blocked the debuting Colt Cabana to hell. The Brian Kendrick and Zeek 2008 = Shawn Michaels and Diesel 1995.
7. Didn’t Eve Torres win the 2007 Million Dollar Diva Competition? I never saw her wrestle and she already got demoted to a human microphone stand? She must’ve sucked. Or not suck— ah you know the rest.
8. MVP cut an extremely hair-raising promo on how much better he is than Jeff Hardy. If you can catch it on WWE.Com, you should. It was INTENSE. Call me a sucker, but next to Edge/Undertaker, this is the only other reason I’m ordering SummerSlam.
9. Is anyone else convinced that Edge could have played the role of Joker in Batman Dark Knight? He looks legit crazy… he’s the best heel in the WWE today. Bank on it.
10. The nine o’clock main event was based around how Triple H is “nothing” compared to The Great Khali. We know the commentary during the HHH/Khali match will be about how Triple H can’t get Khali in the Pedigree. Well guess what? SPOILER ALERT Khali will fall victim to Triple H and his fatal Pedigree.
