So in my neighborhood it's thunderstormy and the other stations were all weather all the time. So I watched Smackdown
Fit Finlay is older, slower, but had a similar moveset to the one he had in WCW. You guys are all crazy for him - why?
They got Lashley as a monster now, eh?
Man, that Rey-Rey - Angle match was fantastic... How many frickin near falls can you have and the speed of the reversals! I don't know the angles, but it's fun to see guys just rassle sometimes even if you don't care about them too much.
Do Cole and Tazz always spend the whole show talking about what you can see "only on Smackdown" That was semi boring. Kid Kash looked pretty tired at the end of their match, but that was a nice spot at the end.
We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center.
Wow, Kurt Angle has really shrunk. I realize the guys are going to be losing mass, and Kurt was shrinking even before the wellness program, but it really stood out tonight how much smaller he's gotten. He literally looks to be 1/2 the size of what he did at his biggest.

So, he's about the size he was when he started in WWE?
Pretty good Smackdown, since I could watch Rey and Angle fight 100 times and not get bored. Super Crazy's top-rope C4 was pretty awesome, maybe saying 'if I'm not on the WM card I'll get in my big WM spot here.' I'd like to see an MNM/Mexicools Heat match, at least.
"He looks like a perverted roofer who knocks off early on warm spring days to drink beer and ogle teenage girls at the river, but wrestles like a man who actually cares about his job." ---DVDVR's Raven Mack on "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Ray

I BEGGED my wife to share her thoughts on the new, doughier, much more... buxom JBL we watched tonight, but she keeps refusing.
You know who was surprisingly good tonight? Mark Henry. Channeling Reverend D-Von whilst doing what amounted to a list promo was great. He's not a bad talker.
Also, I second Justin's Finlay defence. I could watch him wrestle all day and not get tired of it. He's a natural, and they really need to program him with Benoit after Sunday.
(edited by oldschoolhero on 1.4.06 0049) 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
