While Teddy Long arrived to SmackDown encompassed by guards, Batista had a magnificent homecoming. Of course, it was a case of Jerichus interruptus. Mr. Jericho's face is not the only one on SmackDown anymore. Now, there is another and this one loves to dish out the spinebusters!
John Morrison created a cornucopia of moves and used every one on Mike Knox. Knox became another victim of the Starship Pain. However, it didn't seem to faze Dolph Ziggler who sat close by to catch a glimpse of his opponent in three weeks! It was a big undertaking but Morrison pulled out the win.
While we're on the subject of "undertakings", Scott Armstrong was interviewed about his part in the conspiracy of the year. He stated he did what he had to do to keep his job. He answers to a higher power and admitted it was pre-mediated. This made me think.
The Women's Champion, Michelle McCool, braced and limping faced Melina. Melina has got a set of lungs! Whoa! That scream, I think, cracked a few windows. It worked too. Melina beat the champion.
Teddy Long, by order of Mr. McMahon, came out and admitted his guilt about Breaking Point and apologized to us and the Undertaker. However, it was a little too much to ask forgiveness from the Undertaker. Do you know how many have attempted the same thing and have failed miserably? And where are they now? Umm, has anyone seen Mr. Long since getting into that limo? In this girl's opinion, Teddy, no pun intended, dug his own grave with this one. However, I don't believe it was ALL Teddy Long's doing. Someone is pulling the puppet strings. Mr. McMahon may have more to do with this double cross than he's letting on. Did he know Teddy Long would do what he did? A double cross is here somewhere but now I fear a triple cross may be in the works. All I can say is...I freakin' hope so! This is great!
CM Punk "speeched" us to death again. Blah blah blah-Straightedge is best, words words words-I told you so, yadda yadda yadda-we're all zombies and liars. How dare we think otherwise? Bad zombie liars! Bad!
Cryme Tyme (accompanied by Eve who didn't wrestle) squared off against the Hart Dynasty (including Natalya who also didn't wrestle). Shad was dropping Harts like it's hot and JTG is looking so much better in the ring. They are really stepping it up. Still, one has to give props to the cognitive connection DH Smith and Tyson Kidd have. They make quick tags WHEN NEEDED and wrestle at their pace not anyone else's. Kidd pinned JTG and the Dynasty lives on another week.
Melina tried to get all of the pictures of Dolph off the walls of the Diva locker room but Maria still saw and stared in disbelief. Now, Melina has tried to talk sense into Maria but Maria is blinded by love and trusts her man. While that's not well and good, you've got Michelle McCool on the loose with Layla as devious back up. Is this relationship doomed to fail? Or, is it only a substitute until he does win the prize he really wants, the Intercontinental Championship?
The Khali/Kane match ended before it began practically. A steel chair shot by Kane to the head of Khali knocked the great guy flat on his back. To make matters worse, which Kane is so good at; he dragged the Punjabi Playboy to the steel steps and crushed his leg with them! Did Khali ask for the match? If so, be careful what you wish because you just might get Kane instead! Hey, wouldn't it be REALLY twisted if Ranjin Singh set this whole thing up? Huh? Huh? Talk about your double crosses.
Maybe when Teddy Long gets his act together he can give Drew McIntyre a match before he takes out the entire roster!
There really isn't much else I can add to the Batista/Chris Jericho match. The Batista bomb speaks for itself! It was beautiful baby! Beautiful! But the Big Show is standing off stage and waiting for his cue.
Don't give your dog caffeine. Craziness! LOL...
Flawless
