Morrison wins again wow I hope he wins the whc soon

[Joey Cush]

Nice. Punk deserves to get his ass handed to him by Morrison.

[Bray Wyatt]

*Sniff*...

Whats That I Smell...A Punk/Morrison WHC Fued....

There 2007 ECW Fued was great...will be even better now.

[Mr. PerpetuaLynch Motion]

Punk/Morrison may not draw Smackdown GARGANTUAN numbers but god damn will it be an outstanding feud.

[Planktung]

No Pretty Ricky?

[Byron F'N Saxton Fan]

ANOTHER Tag main event?

The last set of spoilers didn't say anything about him, so maybe it will be just another video package.

[pineappleexpress]

Edge as a face should freshen him up a bit.

Why the hell do they keep jobbing out Punk?

because John Morrison = god.

I just got back from tapings.

1. Morrison vs. Punk, while not as good as their previous encounter, was still a great match. It wasn't so much a handshake as it was Morrison extending a hand to help Punk up, but still, same idea. I love it. Punk doesn't look like he's being squashed like his first title run, either.

2. Punk's promo on Jeff is even BETTER this week than the previous. He's truthful in EVERYTHING he says and is booed heavily by the amazingly pro-Jeff Hardy crowd. The promo has to be heard to be believed. Phenomenal.

3. Kane vs. R-Truth was way too long and way too dull. Five minutes of this match should have gone to Morrison vs. Punk.

4. I marked out for Jericho, and my friends and I yelled out how right Jericho is about us being lost and everyone else being hypocrites. I love Jericho. He's so awesome. Especially when he's destroying Jeff Hardy.

5. Dark match was a cage match with Punk vs. Jeff for the World title. They construct the cage, which is interesting to watch. It's very flimsy on the sides as it's two pieces put together for each side of the ring, with a bar between them. Lasted maybe 3-4 minutes, Jeff misses a Swanton, and Punk simply walks out. Pretty funny. Then he cuts another good, heel promo on Jeff before getting the Twist of Fate and Swanton.

Best part of the whole night...Punk takes his shirt after the cage matches, teases tossing it into the crowd...and then just throws it back into the ring. He's SUCH a good heel.

[BigShab421]

I really pray to god they don't do Edge vs Jericho @ Mania. I really want them to fued eventually, but I hope they go with Jericho v. Taler at Mania 26. And save Edge v. Jericho for sometime after.

[King Silva]

Where the was McCool and Melina feud at? I mean McCool has to defend so why the was she not on SD? Not even a backstage segment? What the hell were they thinking..

Well I am glad that Natalya actually wrestled and won for her team. I was really looking forward to this match since it seemed very likely with both teams having a diva they liked.

I am very happy that Ziggler is going for the IC title. I knew it would happen but it good to know that it is official. As for the tag team mystery partner I think he may get that title shot as well but that could change since it wasn't made official this SD taping.

Morrison/Punk should be awesome mainly for Morrison, and I am very surprised that Morrison got the win with a rollup again. I really hope that the third time is the charm and it is when Morrison wins the WHT!

[MichaelTheMartian]

yes, Ziggler on the main event and IC title match at NOC. the haters, this night belongs to us!

[Blackjack]

Smackdown needs Undertaker back

Yes! I will be watching this for sure. Take that Close Minded Prick.

[Jord]

the actual SmackDown results, Beverly made an appearance!



But in all seriousness, SmackDown does look like a good show. I just hope that Ziggler wins the IC Title at NoC.

That sounded Awesome

[Nirvana is Happiness]

I really hate how Punk keeps losing while being champion. How is he supposed to be built up if he keeps losing?

The Hart Dynasty winning again is awesome. They really need to get tag team gold.

Ziggler and Jericho as a tag team is perfect. This is what Ziggler needs to be pushed to the top.
