Hey babes and goddesses!

How's it shakin'? Well, SmackDown this past week shook it off the charts! I thought it was another great show.  After the HUGE introduction GM Teddy Long gave Rey Mysterio, the 619 Master came out lookin' good!  He's proud to be back on SmackDown and I'm glad they gave him some mic time.  He stated that he'd be more than willing to defend his IC Title against anyone with ambition in the locker room.  That said, Chris Jericho sauntered out, introduction-less.  Jericho still believes HE is the face of SmackDown and that it's his show.  Insulting Teddy, insulting the fans, HE demanded an apology for the overwhelming amount of disrespect being thrown around. You know? I think we should make HIM apologize to US! Time to Rise Up, people! The next chant I want to hear is, "APOLOGIZE TO US!" Rey told him to shut up. Oh! Mental note: Learn Spanish. Rey walked out. But enter a Jeff Hardy, also lookin' good and confident. Jeff proposed the idea of a match and in that match, should Jericho beat him, he will be added to the Jeff/Edge match at Judgment Day.  Jeff has some special momentum going into that match. Chris knows this which is what makes Jericho such a threat.  He thrives on that!  Jeff, however, retaliated and Jericho retreated to the back but not before Teddy made Jeff's idea, the real deal.

Damn! Jericho, Hardy, Mysterio, Edge, Morrison-Whoever is now writing SmackDown: I LOVE YOU!!!!!! Thank you! I'm gushing right now...gushing...

I found it nice to see R-Truth again.  I, honestly, haven't seen him in awhile and coupled with Mike Knox in the ring, there was so much power going head to head. I didn't JUST see heads. I saw shoulders, knees AND toes. Knox is like a concrete wall but Truth never stopped trying to knock it down. He almost did, too! But Mike dominated and continues to maintain the barricade.

Alicia Fox accompanied Michelle McCool to the ring to face Gail Kim.  McCool showed off her athletic prowess and then gave Kim a Faith Breaker, which looks more like a Face Breaker! Ouch!  I like the Fox/McCool alliance. This could be interesting. It's got potential. Fun could be had by all with this duo...heh heh.

John Morrison was up next to face Charlie Haas. So, THAT's what Charlie looks like! Although the Gold Standard had to live vicariously through Haas this past week, Haas proved to be a tough, serious, worthy opponent without the "gimmicks". He actually reminds me of someone Jericho used to train/wrestle with back in the day but I can't remember...help me out. Who was it?  As I've said before though, Morrison is a Hybrid wrestler and has a longer endurance time. He gets more mileage with less fuel. He continues to impress me, especially with the Morrison Moonsault. What a basket of goodies that is!  A split-legged, corkscrew moonsault takes longer to say than it does to actually perform so I shortened it. Not that I'm not ALREADY marching in the Shamen of Sexy pride parade (carrying the banner), but I LOVE his aggressive streak and never-back-down attitude he's carrying with him lately. It's as if all of sudden a huge load has been lifted off of him. He physically looks happier and wrestles as if no one can stop him. He truly believes it and if anyone can become unstoppable, it's him. Well, I've ALWAYS been a believer so you can't take my word for it. He'll prove it to you in due time. You'll see. 

CM Punk vs. Edge (Take 2):  Punk's kamikaze style works for me. It gets into Edge's head, too. The problem is, is there are SO many things roaming around in Edge's head, that it makes the Rated-R Superstar, volatile, and unpredictable. That's where Edge's magic lies.  His unpredictability is what makes him the Ultimate Opportunist. You just NEVER know what he'll do next. He walked out on the match when it got to be too much and Punk was then savagely attacked again by Umaga.  What is it about Punk that makes him a target to the Samoan Bulldozer?  This bulldozer was popping wheelies all over Punk and CM Punk may have to put Edge on hold to power down this bad baby!

Cryme Tyme was there again to promote another Diva challenge featuring Eve and Layla. This time it was a Hand-Slam, Jimmy-Jam Challenge. After a brief fake out by Layla, Eve won and Layla sought revenge...again. I bet you Layla would be great on Desperate Housewives!

Dolph Ziggler said he would rip through the roster and issued an open challenge to anyone in the back. Anyone DID show up. The Great Khali, in fact! While WE may never forget Dolph's name, I guarantee HE might after the big guy flattens him.  Chair shots can promote some heinous aftershocks. Run, Dolph Run!

I was so excited to see Jeff through the whole show as well as Jericho.  The main event was the icing on the cake (mmm icing).  The action was back and forth and just to make sure things ran fairly and perhaps to seek a little piece of Jericho as well, Mysterio came out as an extra set of eyes. Here's the thing: Jericho was taught by one of the greats in the lowest of lows. Jeff took more risks than I would've liked. He definitely got the job done but when facing someone with the caliber of Jericho's, perhaps a different approach is in order.

What I did notice in all its glory was the Rise of the 'Likens'. We like Mysterio, Hardy, and Morrison. They're taking back SmackDown and becoming the front line to a great show.  But this should get even more interesting because as we all know, you can't have good without evil. Damn! This could get REALLY good!

I'm out. Watch Raw. Smooches,

P.S. I want a Ducati Streetfighter (look it up. You'll see why)

Flawless
