Smackdown is improving steadily and I can see No Mercy actually being a decent PPV.

Although I am not sure where the returning Viscera and Mideon is going?

I think they are trying to make him look even madder, in the sense that you just do not know what he is going to do next. Everyone assumed when he kidnapped Michael Cole, that Cole would meet a similar fate to that which happened to Josh Matthews, when Matthews referred to the hype surrounding Heidenreich's arrival in the WWE. Instead we are shown Heidenreich reading a poem about how messed up he is and freeing Cole uninjured. They are just playing classic schizophrenic traits into Heidenreich's character.
