So what explanation, if any, can be given for Kane showing up in the main event on Smackdown?

How about the fact that they ignore the split aspect of the brand split?

If I had to come up with a reason, I'd say that JBL contacted Vince and asked him to allow Kane on Smackdown, and Vince agreed to do so. He has no motive to do such a thing, but that's the best I can come up with.

| #7 Posted on 17.5.06 1054.44 | Instant Rating: 5.84 | I read a RAW recap which stated that on WWE Unlimited Vince received a call from JBL and they discussed something to which Vince said something to the effect of "Good idea, see ya Friday."
This is likely when the deal went down. I'd presume this will be discussed when the show actually airs on Friday.

Looks like another *yawn* exciting Smackdown. This show was really cooking for the past few months, but it's been just utter crap the last few weeks with all the injuries, Rey being buried, the spectre of another awful JBL title reign hanging over us and the focus on stiffs like Khali and Henry.

Yeah, it is to "See No Evil" on Friday Night Smackdown! but I haven't had SD! on a friday night in a few weeks due to Nats games on my soon-to-be-former-UPN station.

Geesh, why not just change the channel?
Another thing, how can you call JBL's title reign 'awful' when it was the best, creatively, of the past few years? | oldschoolhero

| #12 Posted on 17.5.06 1558.29 | Instant Rating: 6.16 | JBL's title reign was in no way the best creatively of the past few years. His character may be a roaring success, but the nine-month stretch of cheap finishes and bad matches, booked horribly repetitively (DQ/screwy finish in the first match, JBL gets an underhanded win in the gimmicky follow-up), was anything but. It wasn't JBL's fault, per se-he could only work with what he was given, after all-but that doesn't change the fact that a good six months of his time on top was truly shitty.
To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated, I can only reply: There is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost. This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires, and lights, in a box.-Edward R. Murrow

Rey being booked as the honky tonk Man does suck. But really every week gives me another KOTR qualifying match. And the quality of the KOTR qualifyers this year has been amazing. I can't remember another year where really every qualifying KOTR match has felt like a PPV match. But it really feels like it this year as each qualifyer ,no matter who involved, is given plenty of time.

Er, this should be Belfast, which is Northern Ireland though the Northern bit was never mentioned. He was known as The Belfast Bruiser in WCW.
They got the wrong flag for weeks now this.
Just another pick from me when it comes to WWE trying to promote or speak about the UK.
William Regal apparently a brawler on Blackpool docks, well the docks are a few miles down the coast in Fleetwood, but hey don't let a technicality get in the way !

Could it be possible that Rey is actually going to retain at Judgement Day? I mean, all of us internet fans "know" that JBL is supposed to win the title, but this feud has been so one-sided that Rey has to win. It would've been like if Vince had squashed Michaels at WM after dominating him for the prior four months; the only logical outcome, storywise, is a happy ending.
