LOL at all the trademark symbols.

Brodus Clay is a very valuable trademark in fairness. Speaking of him where was he for the past few months? Back in FCW?

jaykhunter

he's been off tv since that PPV where he had one spot and split the back of his head wide open! he's been filming a WWE movie. I imagine he's back and in FCW; awaiting moving to the main roster (too soon, obviously lol)

Guilty. Somebody should start a Superstars thread and put the videos or links to them up and Im sure people would watch it when they've nothing better to do. I never think of going looking for it online.

Lord TSC

Live Smackdown? I'm betting there's a cash in :P

Does Sheamus own the rights to his name, or did he sign it over to the WWE?

According to Wrestlezone.com, "DirecTV and other cable outlets are listing John Cena vs CM Punk to take place at Tuesday night's live "Super Smackdown" special. WWE has yet to officially announce the bout."

Machismo Fan

Punk vs. Khali and Cena vs. Barrett are set for tonight.

JP Liz V1

^ They should have had Punk face Bryan, Wade, Cody or even Tyson Kidd

I assume Sheamus will face Henry again

He sh*t the bed at a taped Smackdown last week. There was talk yesterday of bringing back the other guy for the live show.

They should keep trying guys out in the role, I would love to see Big Zeke play the role:)

Its a big night for Hunico when they face Del Rio, the match will be live will get time and the editing lads won't be able to hide any **** ups.

No pressure then:P

Is this live on sky sports?

On the NTL guide it says Smackdown is on at 1.00 tonight but I don't know if its a repeat of the Friday show or if its the live show that's on tonight.


EDIT: Sorry should have read the 1st page :P

It looked like him, the giveaway was the rubbish pointing:pac:

jmolloy

right cena the references didn't go down well thanks for trying. did booker say cena made it with limited skill, senseless

CMpunked

John Cena, what an ass. Insults the man and then cheap shots him.

*edit* AND insults chimmel?!
I thought HHH calling whatshername a horse was low!

sky88

well this was a terrible segment

starviewadams

And there's Cena's trademark crappy joke.

jmolloy

cena is dying out there, take it del rio's visa isn't sorted yet

cena

Is it live on sky sports

Mr Trade In

bet the match lasts less than this 10 minute bitchfest ,also is Cena swearing to get heat?

Loughc

Awful Cena promo to start the show!! Even if Barrett has a good showing here, where will they go from here with him tho?

Rjd2

yep sky sports 3

starviewadams

Wonder who'll win this?

Horsebox9000

I thought Cenas promo was decent.
References to Smokey Mountain and The Shockmaster is alright in my books!

TheBantam

What an awful awful match.

Loughc

Jesus that was a squash, good to see they are burying Barrett!

jmolloy

so way will henry get into the cage? ripping the door off is my bet

starviewadams

First a 5 star Cena match,and now a Mark Henry promo,what a great opening to Super Smackdown!

What next?a return for Big Daddy V?!

Mark Henry doesn't understand the concept of doors though.

Thank christ for Danielson,surely he has to beat Hunico here!!

Loughc

Another defeat for Daniel Bryan? Also why did they change his Opera Music entrance for the generic rock music, **** this are they trying to ruin him completely....

spiritcrusher

Hang on... Aren't these two supposed to be friends?! Fairly sure Cara "saved" Bryan recently and possibly vice-versa.

If it happened more than a week ago, we're not expected to remember it.

jmolloy

original sin cara had a better match with bryan, but think this sin cara is more rounded. Smackdown looking really super 2 defeats from 2

ricero

Evil sin cara I like it

Dr.Evil

Bring back original Sin Cara to feud with new one..?

I rest my case, heel turn and Daniel Bryan got screwed again, another defeat, why bother having him win the MITB....

spiritcrusher

Bourne and Kingston... Get a room.

starviewadams

Another pointless loss for Bryan.

Heel turn for Cara?

Good luck with that.

Bourne shouldn't be allowed talk ever,sounds like almost as much of a pussy as Jomo.
