Smackdown spoilers for 9/12

My thoughts were more a bad take off DX shipping Spirit Squad to a far place, just this time, it's in Florida.

Sucks for Dykstra.

Carlito has the fro this week on Smackdown... as well as a pair of black pants with his name on one leg. He looked strange in pants, but whatever.

K-Kwik (I refuse to call him R-Truth) got a great reaction because he was in Milwaukee and... well... nevermind.

The whole thing with Jesse and Festus wrapping up Dykstra made no sense... at all.

There is a great line in the HHH/Jeff promo where Jeff says something about "Maybe if I had had the right family, I'd have what you have right now." Good times...

HHH's backstage promos make him look like a douchebag. Then again...

The entire show makes it far too obvious that Jeff Hardy was going to win the main event. Even the main event made it too obvious. The finishing swanton on both guys was hard to watch.

I marked out when Kozlov walked out. It was great.

The dark main event was fun, too. Big Show and MVP got out of the ring when Triple H did his entrance. Then we saw them rolling out the rug for the smoke... and then the gong hit. The place exploded 100x louder than it did for Triple H both times he came out combined. Usual Taker entrance. Taker left the ring and went after Big Show while MVP and HHH stood in the ring watching.

Show and Taker brawled to the back. MVP was facing the tron and HHH was behind him. When they were put up on the screen, MVP shook his head and turned around... got a pedigree... and the three count. Triple H then posed and soaked up the glory.

As he left, he noticed a young girl at ringside crying. The girl got a HHH bear and some t-shirts. He then held her up for pictures from her family. What a touching moment. I almost miss the days when he was heel and told us how damn good he was. Oh, wait, he still does tell us how damn good he is.

Eh, some things never change...

Could this be Hardy's time?




Nah..... He'll just come Realllllllllly close to winning, then lose somehow, like always.

So they were true...meaning that WWE officially has their heads up their asses.

What do I mean? OK...

1. When you consider that WWE has the likes of John Cena, HBK, and Rey Mysterio on their roster, I wouldn't call what Truth got a "huge pop."

2. Carlito tagging with his brother is typical revisionist history from Vince McMahon. Now we're just supposed to forget that barely 3 weeks ago, Primo was a member of the Raw roster, telling Mike Adamle how he and Carlito are nothing alike anf that he thinks Carlito is a disrespectful punk. I won't even mention Carlito's new attire.

3. Koslov interfering at the end of the show is completely stupid. Why bother naming a number one contender if he's immediately going to get destroyed by someone who wasn't even involved in the match? This situation can go one of three ways:

• Jeff and Koslov have a match, Koslov wins, and we're left wondering why Jeff is even the #1 contender.
  
• Jeff and Koslov have a match, Jeff wins, and Koslov, looking incredibly weak, effectively loses all momentum.
  
• Koslov and Triple H have a match, which Triple H inevitably wins, an outcome not benefitting anyone.

4. They sacrificed what could've been a decent feud between Koslov and Show so Show could team up with Vickie. Show claims it's to get him closer to the WWE Championship. So, our main event for the evening is a #1 Contender's fatal 4-way, and...none of the 4 men are Show. Guess he and Vickie aren't as tight as he thought.

5. Triple H's promo didn't make him look good by any means, but it sure made his opponents look like ing clownshoes. Reminiscent of his "you can't wrestle" promos back from his Cena feud.

And congratulations on predicting 4 months ago that Carlito and his brother would end up teaming. I hope you don't get tired of being right. By the way, how's that Nattie Neidhart title reign going? Y'know, the one with the belt she designed?
