SMACKDOWN'S NEWEST COLLIDE
July 7, 2005




Two of SmackDown's newest Superstars will collide this Thursday night on UPN when World Heavyweight Champion Batista and Christian go one on one.

Also, Chris Benoit and Booker T will battle to determine the No. 1 Contender to Orlando Jordan's United States Championship Thursday night on SmackDown!

Meanwhile, how much further will Eddie Guerrero go to get the upper hand in his rivalry with former friend and partner Rey Mysterio. Just when it appeared their rivalry was over, Latino Heat visited Rey’s son at his daycare center and promised to reveal a special secret.

Also, after coming so close to being named SmackDown! Champion, how will JBL react to simply being a No. 1 Contender after last week's shocking arrival of Batista.



Plus, what’s next for the Mexicools, who have promised a revolution will take place as long as their on SmackDown! <SCRIPT type=text/javascript>DisplayAd("LargeBody");</SCRIPT>

I haven't read any spoilers at all on this so it's all going to be a surprise to me. I lie the face vs. face match with Booker and Benoit..now I don't know who is going to win. If it was face vs. heel I'd automatically pick the face to win because OJ's a heel champion..It's nice to see that OJ is going to finally get a contender for his title after all these weeks.


JBL on SD!, I say, who cares? I hope he doesn't have another 20 min. promo..It'll be nice to see what Dave does this week.

Mexicools..shit, they better be wrestling cuz their promos have been brutal. I don't think I've seen promos worse than they've had in a long ass time.

[Bouchie]

Ugh...Smackdown is on life support and needs some Brock to bring her back to us.

[IdaMAN]

Ya, SD! was better before the mexitools and the SD!, with the exception of Batista. I hope it is better this week than it was last week.

[Brandon]

I have a good feeling about the Lesnar thing..I think they'll get something done and we'll all get our Brock fix.

[IdaMAN]

It pisses me off that there are spoilers out there a lot of people already know. But oh well. I just won't go to another other sites that might spill the beans and ignore the un-written spoiler rule.

[Brandon]

Huh? It's been like that forever now..If I see something that says "spoiler" I almost never click on it. I like being surprised.

Hey, do you guys think WWE is writng their shows on the fly now?

I mean, think about it. They had the draft, which nobody was supposed to know who was going where until the last minute, then they have HBK turn heel which I don't think anyone knew about and was a shocker to everyone, and then they have all these guys getting fired, some of which had storylines like Matt Morgan for example...

I don't think anyone could have known about the Morgan firing because they were trying to push this guy big up until last week..

Whatever WWE has been doing I like it...It's made for some great television and RAW is startin gto get that "Anything Can Happen at Any Time" feel back to it..instead of everyone knowing pretty much what will happen..

Thoughts?

Right, this is where I get my own back then for my viewing of Raw being ruined this week by an unflagged spoiler.

I hate to do this to you guys, but in tonights show......a legend returns to defeat Batista. Yes, that's right.....a return and heel turn from Bruno Sammartino.

HA HA Nice one Bulldog... I was wondering when you were going to get your own back!

[IdaMAN]

I just mean I hate it when it comes to possible surprises and someone reads a spoiler and knows about it. Something HUGE like Brock returning. I really wish they would bring him back and do it on Raw and then trade him to SD! the next week or something like that. Everyone else who read the spoilers had days to get use to a surprise and have all talked out out in the spoiler threads etc and then comes along me and I'm all wholy shit! and everyone else is thinking, ya that is old news lol.

I regards to the writing on the fly, no I don't think so. They are 2 seperate parts of the company. A marketing doesn't know what the accounting team does etc. I am assuming Vince and a few others decided who was going to be traded/fired and it is kept between them. They certianly don't want someone's release being leaked. That could cause HUGE problems. I think the writing team is just that, the writing team and they really have no say ot input on the business end of it with regards to talent hiring trades and or firings. THat is where JR and Vince come in.
