SmackDown This! (Oct. 23, 2008) from WWE.com

Posted in:

Greetings from under the black, custom made hat from WWE’s resident BBQ provocateur who has voted early and often on this weekend’s Cyber Sunday interactive WWE pay-per-view. Why do I have more interest in Sunday’s entertainment event than I do the United States presidential race that has been marred by the “legitimate media” (an oxymoron if there ever was one) below-the-belt coverage and endless parodies of the candidates? Enough already.

Any more of this nonsense and yours truly will join Tazz in the “Angriest Man in the World” club.

Friday Night SmackDown on MyNetwork TV this week is a stout show lead by an old school-like main event between two of WWE’s all-time top hands, Triple H and Undertaker. This is a big time attraction that was one of the best matches I can recall on free TV in years. I hope that you make a point of enjoying it as I plan on doing from my palatial hotel room somewhere near Manhattan, Kansas where yours truly will be for the Oklahoma vs. Kansas State Big 12 college football game Saturday at 11:30 a.m. on Fox Sports.

The Diva competition on SmackDown is getting much more heated, or so it seems to me. Michelle McCool is the Divas Champion, but is the pressure of being the top lady on SmackDown getting to the lovely, athletic tomboy from Florida State University? Maria, the No. 1 contender to McCool’s title, and Maryse, among others, have both upped their games in recent weeks.

I’d love to have Maryse’s cell number to just hear her voicemail message. I’m sure the Fink has got it in his George Costanza- like rolodex. I have to admit that Maryse’s accent affects me much the same way that Morticia Adams’ voice did on Gomez Adams when Morticia spoke French during the classic TV show, The Adams Family.

What happened to Carlito and Primo’s last name? I shudder to think what would occur if someone stole my “R.”

“Did You Know?” Dr. Joe E. Styles … the doctor of dot com … loves Osso Buco … of which my Italian wife Jan can make with the best of ‘em. BTW if you see a wagering opportunity on whether the “father of the fade” will be wearing a snappy, black suit this Sunday in the desert of Arizona I suggest that you take the over.

OK, so the man’s name is officially Kung Fu Naki. Alrighty then … but does he really ride a Kawasaki and did you know that he was a huge Dallas Cowboys fan?

I read that Vince has banned the words "sports-entertainment", "wrestlers", "superstars" and "divas", and that he wants the company to be referred to as entertainment. Can you confirm this?

I think Vince has really gone off his rocker, if this is true.

 

What I heard was, these terms will avoid Vince from paying a certain tax. Take that for what it's worth though. If true, it makes sense, although I agree, I don't like wrestlers being called "entertainers." I never liked "superstars" either. What's wrong with calling them "wrestlers"?

By Gawd, I'll never know.

 

JR,

As a Funaki fan ever since he debut the night following Wrestlemania 14 on Monday Night Raw to attack TAKA  Michinoku (along with Kaientai members Dick Togo and Men's Teioh), this (mini)push is great. I hope the WWE  continues in this direction. If anyone deserves a bone thrown their way, it's definitely the man from the Land of the Rising Sun who has been a loyal WWE jobber for the better part of ten years sans a couple pushes here and there (CW Title and the INDEED dubbed gimmick where Kaientai actually picked up some wins). Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

I really enjoyed tonight's Smackdown. Top effort by all, and the backstage skits were all GOLD. I enjoyed the Main Event despite the obvious interference. 15+ commercial-free minutes of a main event of that magnitude on free TV is unheard of these days, and I loved it. I hope to see them more often (however unlikely that may be).

As always, another fine broadcast from you and "The" Tazz. You two are easily my favorite commentary team going today, and quickly moving into my top 5 favorite of all time.
