So wait... Kennedy talks about going to Raw so Teddy Long comes out and makes a match for Kennedy against the Undertaker? Umm... What? Where is this going? Is Kennedy going to Raw? Is this match even for the U.S. Title? Anyway, it's cool to see Taker in the ring and all, but it's a little ridiculous that he's virtually never on Smackdown. The fact is that Taker is in the twilight of his career while Kennedy is just getting started. Kennedy has charisma the WWE hasn't seen since the Rock and he's surely a future heavyweight champion. I say Taker takes one for the team and puts Kennedy over here.
There have been many matches with Eddie as the subject of the storyline, but the only real good ones actually had Eddie in them. I miss Eddie. Hopefully this angle will end soon. As for the winner, Chavo got the win last time so I'll go with him returning the favor here... unless something else changes my mind.
I don't understand how the WWE can expect me to be into this match? It's like ordering a pizza and trying to get excited about meeting the pizza guy. Who is MVP and why should we care? And while I'm asking questions, what kind of name is Vontavious? I expect a squash.
Although this can definitely be a solid match, I'm having a hard time caring about it. They're nice guys and good performers but this feud has no impetus. Can you imagine headlining a pay per view with a storyline like this? "They're friends. They're rivals. They sometimes compete at ping pong and darts. Call your cable company or satellite operator now." I'm changing my random pick to Hardy because I need more faces to balance out the heel retaining in the main event.
Wow. A main event level card change the week of the pay per view. Way to have your shit together, WWE. I guess the Finlay vs Batista angle wasn't putting asses in the seats, but what do you expect from Smackdown? As for the winner, I think the only two with a shot at a victory here are Booker T and Batista. Batista will eventually win it back, but not here. Booker will retain by pinning someone other than Batista.
