Give your thoughts on SmackDown!
 
i think the helms/davari match & result very realistic nice work.
the finlay interview, meh, nice add i suppose
kennedy interview very realistic, nice touch
i don't personally like the idea of finlay & umaga teaming up, not very realistic, very mismatched
kennedy & batista final, nice work i think thats the best you could have

nice work, keep it up:)
 
Helms/Daivari: Helms going over, needs a real challenge really. Then acts coky which is in character, so good there

Finlay interview: A bit blunt and to the point. Intros the "mystery helper" though, so i guess it does what it is meant to

MVP/Hardy Contract: The regular formula for a signing. Nothing wrong there

Kennedy interview: Good to give Kennedy some airtime with a mic in hand, its gold.

Finlay/Cade with Murdoch and Umaga: As expected with the interferences, but Umaga is the mystery helper? Doesnt quite work for me there

Khali video: Nothing to say, bit of a wasted segment. What is Khali doing at the moment anyway?

Cutting Edge w/Taker: This segment doesnt work in my mind. Edge wouldnt have someone who he is a rival with on the show, so it doesnt work. Plus, why would Taker go away if he was being taunted? It lowers his character somewhat

Long match announcement: So Edge is scared now? Why wasnt he scared before? Its a little confusing for me

Kennedy/Carlito: Good decision on the result, always had to be Kennedy for me.

Finlay/Umaga: I still find this wierd. Plus Finlay has been in 3 segments, slightly overused. It doesnt sit with me that these 2 would be able to come to an agreement.

Batista/Booker: Batista wins and surely will be champion now. I cant see you booking Kennedy to go over Batista at this stage. For me this should have been your tournament final.

Overall its good. A couple of bits, but other than that its good

ECW LOOKING TO MOVE NETWORKS?
Backstage there has been a lot of talk about moving ECW to another network and away from sci-fi because of its low ratings compared to RAW and SmackDown. The concern though is that the ratings cannot get above 4 and TNA are regularly in the mid fours with iMPACT! If ECW does move to another network it would be a risk because if the show was not accepted by a netwoprk programming would be in turmoil. The feeling is that the leading contenders for ECW are Fox and Spike.

TRIPLE H MISERABLE
It is thought that Triple H is miserable at the minute because of the recent signing of Brock Lesnar. It is known that the two do not get on however the new head writer decided that both would be on the RAW roster. Triple H has said to be angry and very uncoperative backstage. He is also upset that he isn't being pushed for the WWE Title and Brock Lesnar is.

Good to see that Kennedy has got a title. Also good to see Cena lose. ;)

Not sure about Van Dam having the ECW title, but he won't be a terrible champ.
