Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! I am Why? You may ask. Well, for anyone who remembers me speaking of plotting to get my neighbors out several months ago, I'm here to tell you that it worked! Although, I will not divulge the actual plan I dreamt about, slept on, initiated and reaped the benefits from, I will say that it has been a long and exhausting journey. I prevailed though! SmackDown was again inspiring this week. So, let us get right into the meat of the sandwich. A SmackDown hoagie anyone?

Edge opened the show and insisted HE is the face of SmackDown. Okay, Edge. While you may be the premiere superstar in the WWE, you're not the most popular! After calling Jeff Hardy a loser, Teddy Long strutted his way to the ring to chime in. He stated that Matt Hardy DID interfere in Jeff's match at Judgment Day. Therefore, a rematch will be granted to Jeff. Yes! Never one to shy away from conflict, Jeff Hardy entered the ring. Audience participation is always a plus when drumming up motivation. Jeff went into the crowd to get their opinions and it was unanimous. A match was on and the winner got to decide just how extreme their rematch would be!

Benjamin/Haas/Ortiz faced Cryme Tyme and John Morrison. It was great to see Cryme Tyme wrestling again. The Draft hasn't been THAT long ago but it seemed as though time flew since we've seen the daring duo. All these men are young, vibrant and athletic. It was a great match and the Cryme Tyme/JoMo team was a cohesive blend of youth, flexibility and eagerness. Although Benjamin displayed his never-ending energy and talent, and Ortiz, his power, it was the Starship Pain that took Haas to a galaxy far far away.

While Josh was interviewing Melina, Alicia Fox pushed her way in to speak on behalf of her partner in crime, Michelle McCool. Melina had a slap, I mean, a message of her own to give to McCool! Ouch! It wasn't dwelled upon for too long as McCool was to face Gail Kim next. Maybe Michelle isn't mean. Maybe she's just misunderstood? You think? I can't wait for the Melina/Michelle match actually. I have a feeling the now #1 contender is going to be less McCooler than a cucumber!

After what Rey Mysterio said about his mask and its history, do you really think someone will have the audacity to remove it? Well, lets look at the usual suspect...Chris Jericho? Good guess!

Speaking of the devil, Chris squared off against CM Punk. I wonder what else is in that briefcase; a first aid kit, perhaps? I have to admit, this Chris Jericho rapture thing sounds fabulous. Anyhoo, if there's one thing I've learned AT ALL watching years of Jericho wrestle is that you can't stall in between moves with him. Set him up and knock him down. Any time in between gives him that window of opportunity to get a bonza beaut CodeBreaker on your ass! Punk was able to effectively hit the "Go To Sleep" but Umaga strapped him within an inch of his zzzzz's. I'd buy this match any day but adjustable strap is sold separately. Thank the Lord that Umaga spoke in English though. My Samoan/English dictionary fell in the fireplace and I had no idea what "BLAAAAHHHH" meant!

Dolph Ziggler, a firm believer in the motto, "when in doubt, introduce yourself", has been slowly leaving his greetings behind. R-Truth knows how to enter a room but I'm wondering if his entrance would work just the same with an escalator? All those damn stairs! Dolph won the match but not without evading Truth's strength and vicious slams into the turnbuckles. Khali let Ziggler know that THEY'RE not finished yet by any means. You can't do what you did to the Punjabi Playboy and get away with it. Dolph high-stepped it to the next city. I apologize for saying this but Ziggler's got a great butt and Khali's song is a toe-tappin' little diddy!

Eve vs. Layla next week! I have to wait another whole week to see it? Aww, no fair!

Teddy Long confirmed that the Jericho/Mysterio match will be a No Holds Barred match. THAT made Jericho happy! Hey, something did, right?

He's got our support. He's got the momentum. Now all he needs is the Wold Heavyweight Championship Belt around his waist. Maybe Jeff is closer to Edge's "league" than he thinks. Shots to an already wounded head of Hardy halted the Enigma's stride temporarily until he was able to make a path through the countless stars he was seeing. He avoided a spear and nailed a Twist of Fate and Swanton Bombed his way to victory. He takes something away from every match he's in whether it be consciously or subconsciously. He's quicker on his feet but staying a little more grounded. He's got faster ducks, faster weaves and is selective about which maneuvers to use where. No, he's not reckless. Not anymore anyway. He's redefining. He's Jeff Hardy!

Go ahead. Smile.

Until RAW, have a great rest of the weekend!

Flawless
