Smackdown 09/02/2006
Chris Benoit vs JBL vs Matt Hardy vs Orlando Jordan - ★★¾
- Enjoyable four way with a lot of divided action involving all four. Liked the throwback to the Cabinet days with Bradshaw and OJ teaming up briefly and then breaking up the pin. Benoit makes Hardy tap out and advances to No Way Out for the US Title match with Booker T. Speaking of Booker, he's hilarious on commentary. An early glimpse of what he brought to the table in 2011 with his catchphrase overload.
MNM vs Londrick - ★★½
- Londrick are like the new Mexicools now they have been ditched to Velocity and Juventud has been released. Lots of awesome athletic spots and both tag teams are legitimate. I hate the stupid "THE REF DIDN'T SEE A TAG" spot but I guess it played up to making Londrick not look too weak after taking that hilarious squash from the Gymini (who are suddenly not here) the month before.
Gregory Helms vs Nunzio - ★★
- A short and decent cruiserweight match. Nothing else to say.
Undertaker vs Mark Henry - ★★¾
- Fitting that I watch this shortly after the brief discussion about the matches between these two. Enjoyed the action for the 10 or so minutes it lasted and Mizark is booked pretty well as the monster that even a big man like Undertaker can fall short to. Taker makes a nice comeback in the end before MNM run-in to cause the DQ followed by Kurt Angle's appearance at the end cleaning house.

WHO CAN ROOT FOR HIM NOW ?!?!?!?!?!

I like this John, tbh. Something about this kind of douchebag attitude that I love where the guy will make his opponent look like a joke and laugh off all the frustration in spite of the negative reaction he'll receive. Much better than humble, goody two shoes Cena. If he's gonna be a face, I'd prefer him to be an asshole face instead of that "Hustle Loyalty Respect" garbage.
I've pretty much learned to accept that he wont turn heel and take him for what he is. So instead of complaining daily about wanting him to turn heel, I'll just laugh at how he riles up smarks by making their favorites look like geeks. Specially if it's someone I don't care for, like Ziggler.
