WWE Friday Night Smackdown 7th Mar 08

Well, I found this weeks Smackdown and i'm going to review it. be it bad or good it'll get as fair a review as i can give it. the views here are my own. i can't promise to be unbiased but if it's entertaining i'll say so. If it's not, I'll also say so. I won't apologise for not recognising any workers WWE may have hired in the last 4 yrs as I haven't been a regular viewer.

Here goes:- Show opens with Edge & Teddy Long and some bird in a wheelchair (was that Vickie Guerrero, Eddies wife? She got fat!) already in the ring. Edge bores us on the mic, obviously this is wwe's latest version of a piper's pit revamp? Flair comes down to join the yack-fest.

CM Punk, Festus & Jesse vs Chavo Guerrero, Miz & Morrison. Someone wants to tell Festus, George "The Animal" Steele called and he wants his gimmick back. Apart from introducing Chavo & Punk, didn't we see this match last week? And it was f**king S**T then. Query, if Punk & Chavo are ECW guys, what the f**k are they doing on Smackdown? Not a great match, Festus took the win. I'd rate this at a generous 2 thanks to some nice out of the ring jumps.

Batista vs MVP. Before he got to the ring Dave seemed to have taken so many steroids he couldn't work out how to get down the ramp to the ring. It's called a straight line, Dave. As the US title was held up I assume it was on the line? Isn't that an old WCW belt? Used to be called the US Television Title? MVP won off a count-out? C***py win, very weak match, Scored a 1.

Some backstage s**t probably to progress storylines.

Jamie Noble vs The Big Show - In which universe was this ever going to be entertaining? Calling the win for Show before it ever got going. Smacks of "we have no ideas" from Uncreative. This seemed to have no finish after Show waffled to the people. Rule it a no contest as the ref was pulling Noble out of the ring. Scores 0, gets creative called a bunch of c**ts.

The Undertaker vs Edge, Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder in a 3 on 1 handicap match. A match that sounded pointless before the bell rang. This is either for Undertaker to steamroller all 3 guys and injure Edge or for them to steamroller Undertaker and for Edge to injure him prior to Wrestlemania. technically this ISN'T a 3-1 match as Edge and co were acting as a 3 man tagteam. There was LOTS of bad positioning by the ref in this one, he was constantly running to get out of the way.

Taker was the best worker in this match by far showing his usual good work rate selling and giving it out too. Edge got the win off the spear for his team when Taker was trying to double chokeslam Hawkins & Ryder. Scores a 1. Not as many matches as last week. Not any better either.
