    Just watched it there.. Ridiculous. I thought Mark Henry was going to run into the ring and cause a DQ. How they could have done that to Christian, a guy who has busted his balls for the company for over a decade is beyond me.

    Stupid decision. Randy Orton's ego is bigger than his jawline. Guy is a good wrestler no doubt, but christ - give someone a chance.

    The more I read the more I change my mind and think well done WWE. Well done.

    So many people were happy for Christian to win the WHC, everyone went aww, but did anyone pay to see him win a vacated title? No I don't think they did. He got a lovely reaction.

    But lovely don't sell tickets dammit!

    Controversy sells tickets, controversy puts bums on seats in stadiums and on front of the TV.

    The reaction on the net to Christian losing was even bigger than his win. 10 or maybe even 100 times bigger.

    How could they do this to Christian!
    OMG!
    I knew they would screw him!
    **** you Vince
    Why couldn't they let him be champ for a few months
    Ortons so selfish etc.

    Well what if they did let Christian be champ for a couple of months? He could beat Mark Henry or Cody Rhodes then lose the belt to Orton.

    Well nobody would pay for that and nobody would react to that. Nobody would care. It would be an unmemorable title run, So why do it?

    This way WWE got a huge reaction out of people - people are genuinely aggrieved by this. That's right in 2011 Vince McMahon, in an era of smart fans, spoilers fan videos on you tube he got us all genuinely pissed off before we even see the match. Incredible really. He made Christians first title reign one of the most memorable ever.

    Its not like its the first time Vince has booked a short title reign, Kane cashing in on Rey, Punk cashing in on Jeff, Edge cashing in on Cena, Kanes 24 hour reign.

    The perfect example of a dull reaction is Ortons first title reign. Nobody really thought he would win the belt and everyone thought he would lose to HHH. he did, nobody gave a rats ass.

    I have no idea what is planned for next week, in fact I won't even read the spoilers. It might just turn out that Vince played us all for fools.

    So at this stage all I can say is well done Vince. I will be watching Smackdown tonight, a taped show that I can't wait to see.


    Ps: I'm not trying to piss anyone off here, its just how I think at this stage. Most interesting thing they have done since the Nexus debut.

    good point, to add its been constantly rammed down our throats this past while by the iwc that the world title doesnt mean anything in wwe these days but if thats the case then why are fans and the likes of bryan alvarez so upset over christian losing the belt, seems vince has got fans quite interested in the world title picture if you ask me

    WWE got the wrong kind of reaction. They got anger rather than controversy. Pure anger.

    The World title means something to people when they think the person who won it deserves it.

    Even if it went wrong they would just use some canned cheers for Randy.

    Some boos for Sheamus. A feud between him and Christian would've been great.

    It is Smackdown though, so they could be edited boos.

    Where is Bookers Bingo Card?

    He even has Josh saying right there

    That was a sweet ending to Sheamo v Bryan.

    That beatdown was weak,the red haired guy seemed to beat up the travel bag as much as Jackson.What was up with the sound effect of the dumpster falling on him & Jackson smiling its pure odd.

    This has been a pretty good episode of smackdown so far.

    To be fair the beat down went bad when Heath did a knee drop on the blue bag/crate thingy!

    Spoilers are a pain in the hole.

    Is it me or is Sin Cara's matches just him going out there doing his spots.Chavo was awful on commentary on about his innovation when the only spots he does that get a reaction is Eddie's old spots.

    Who did it hurt more?

    Chavo just buried that finisher. No harm though, it takes too long to set up. I enjoyed the rest of the match.

    Chavo was a idiot to say who did it hurt more,he was so bad at the desk it made me hope Booker would talk more often.You can kinda see the limitation of the roster tonite would the likes of Kidd get a match on Raw or Chavo be put in a program with a pushed star.The one thing Smackdown does better than Raw is make better use of its roster.

    Smart suggestion - I will take your advice.

    The cheek of Sky - delaying smackdown for tennis and then showing an ad for a Tennis game during the wrestling.

    .

    Not been sarcastic, I am the same I read them even though it probably spoils some of my enjoyment of the show.

    I blame Kane though, before he became champ I watched quite a few Smackdowns without reading spoilers, but because his reign was dreadful, I since then make sure to know what I am getting into when I watch,:pac:
