    last week Chavo Gurearo challenged any cruiserweight from around the word to face him the following week on SD! At the smackdown tapings last night he faced Jaqueline not only that she won the cruiser weight tital.
    I thought Smackdown was a bad as people were making out but now its worse. I like i sugested on another board we should purpusly not watch smackdown this week

    yeah its a sorry state of affairs, the only thing left for them to do now is to give rico the wwe championship and make miss jackie the smackdown general manager, i wouldnt put it past wwe at this stage, anyhow i dont give a crap about smackdown anymore either (for the time being), turned it off half way thru last week and i wont be watching it this weekend either. Thankgod for RAW.

    Yeah... and I was hoping that Jushin Liger would show up and shotei his head into the 6th row :(

    Going by the spoilers I read not one good thing happens on smackdown this week

    or velocity.... which used to rule

    Smackdown is abosulte rubbish these days. Raw is winning hands down, I think Raw vs Smackdown would be excellent. But not making the same mistakes as they did to wwe vs alliance. turn raw into nitro,eric bischoff in charge and sign a few new wrestlers to smackdown!!!eg.re-sign goldberg and add foley. If this does not work i dont know what will. CRAZY IDEA!!!!

    RAW may have the makings of Nitro, ie: Bishoff, Steiner, Goldberg(kinda) and all the fire effects and the like. But Smackdown is run like a drunken Vince Russo is in charge booking matches and creating storylines as the Intro pyro is exploding.

    The jackie thing is very stupid. Female wrestlers holding guys titles is a no go area. Plus, WWE saying they want to restore a bit of prestiege to the cruiserweight title, well... this is a stupid way of going about it.

    Granted, Jackie is an amazing female star, and her techical skill for a woman is quite impressive, but stick her on RAW and give her a rivalry with Victoria.

    All Smackdown needs to do is, after JUdgement day is over, and all their mistakes have run their course, all they need to do is sit down, look at things, make some firings, and get a few intermixing rivalrys (like RAW: Benoit V HHH V Michales mixed with Flair and Batista V Benoit and Edge). That leaves the writers with so many ideas.

    china wasnt a very good wrestler but she went on to superstardem after winning the ic belt, maby jaquiline can do the same with the cw belt, also this will rase the casual viewer like the billy and chuck wedding it may be bad for the bisness but good for rateings

    The Chyna thing was differnet, they wanted to make her a serious wrestler, Jackie will disaper again for about 2 years. I thought the female refree was a good idea. Why shouldnt the chicks division have a female refree?

    I really doubt that, who would tune in to see a woman holding a belt that has lost all credibility?

    Apparantly what happened was a last minute change, originally the plan was for matt capotelli(the guy off tough enough 3) to come in, but he got a concussion wrestling bob holly at a house show(there's a shock). So they changed to it jackie, alos she's one of the weakest females in the wwe from a wrestling standpoint.

    watched the show saturday and the croude reaction was good but jackie didnt look all that strong, chavo was selling ok but jackie didnt get many offencive moves in


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,165 ✭✭✭Hanza


    I can smell a rematch at Judgement day. That should be crap.

    However a ladder match would be may muchos entertaining. However, no way would WWE alow a woman to be in a ladder match with a guy! Im still waiting for Lita to do her ladder match with Trish. They planned it before Lita injury, but miss Amy Dumas is a bit anxious about it now.

    she wont do squat since she got injured (couldnt blame her) she should specilise more as a manager for v1


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,165 ✭✭✭Hanza


    Just read in this weeks RAW (and it wasnt one of those typically bad interviews that she probally wasnt even involved in) that Amy Dumas is sheduled for a womans title run as soon as this angle with Kane and Matt runs its course.

    This may be considered a
    Matt and Kane are rumoured to have a match at Badd Blood. Aparently Lita is also gonna take the title off Gail Kim at the same event, and a half-work, half-shoot engagemnet angle is gonna be run.

    Thats just like the WWE with the whole cruiserweight thing. All they really care about is the big guys and Triple H. They dont care what they do to the history of the Crusierweight Title. No disrespect to Jacky but she shouldnt be the champ of anything. She gets no TV time and just because Steph thought it was a good idea she got the belt. I mean when you look at raw, they have Hurricane, Matt Hardy, Tajiri, all great cruiserweights who should be going for the title. Then you have great superstars like Ultimo and Paul London who they just refuse to use.
