This is in case anybody wants to talk about SmackDown tonight, I will be watching and adding my comments about the show in case anybody wants to join me.

The ending of the show was kinda cool. Mark Henry appearing, and then tossing Batista around like a bag of potatoes. Of course, M&M took advatange of that, and won the tag team titles back. They were getting their ass kicked before Mark arrived.

I like Batista. It was just a surprise to see Mark. I thought he had quit, or something. It's been a long time since I had seen him on any WWE show.

[Mr. Kennedy]

Mark Henry got injured early last year and when he recovered was sent to OVW. The 10 year contract he signed in 1996 expires next year and I don't expect WWE to re-sign him.

I'm glad that MNM got the tag titles back since they are one of the few real teams in the WWE right now and deserve the titles more than a makeshift team.

I didn't like that there were two countout finishises and a DQ finish, thoses just feel like cheap way to end matches.

Why do I get the feeling that Mark Henry is going to be a bodyguard for MNM? That would make sense since they are portrayed as celebrities so having Henry as a bodyguard might be a good idea.

[Zar]

that is a good idea airr, I just hope they simply build him up so Batista can crush him and look even more impressive. Mainly because Mark Henry bores the shit out of me, and secondly because the second Batista looks week he looses all the edge and coolness that his character has
