WWE Smackdown Spoilers for....Week ending Nov 11th

Lord TSC

I say about the date because according to Wrestlezone, this aired in America last night. It was advertised as live, despite being taped earlier in the day in England. Did Sky Sports show this last night? Usually when Smackdown is shown on Tuesday in America, it goes at the same time on Sky Sports.

Anyway, spoilers ahoy...

Michael Cole starts things off by welcoming Sheamus to the ring, and he says Sheamus must be upset after what happened last night. Cole informs the crowd that Big Show assaulted him at a pub last night, then he plays some exclusive footage of the incident. He says it must be difficult to watch, but Sheamus tells him to get out of the ring because he needs to deal with this. Sheamus says he can't believe Big Show had the stones to jump him and William Regal, but he's still standing. Sheamus says he'll let Show finish what he started, because Survivor Series is about a title match but tonight is about him kicking Show's giant ass. Big Show appears on the Titantron and asks if this is the thanks he gets, because he held back a bit so he didn't completely destroy Sheamus before Survivor Series.

Show says he is going to knock him out again just like he did before, and he shouldn't be asking to get hurt again. Sheamus tells him he's afraid to come down there, but Show denies it and says he doesn't have any reason to do it, then Wade Barrett comes out to meet Sheamus. He says Sheamus should worry about him instead, because they have a match tomorrow but he thinks he should take his... Sheamus cuts him off and tells him to come fight him right now. Wade thinks about it and heads to the ring, but he changes his mind and ends up going backstage. Booker T finds Wade backstage and says that was cute, but he never thought Wade would be one to back down from a fight. He says he talked to William Regal, and he set up a match for later tonight that will see Wade team with Big Show against Sheamus and Regal tonight.

Bit of a dick move by Kofi.

Did anyone else think that was Brock in the bar at the wall, sitting down and got up to shake hands with Sheamus?

Start of a heel turn by him perhaps, I kinda wanted to see him feud with R-Truth

Why would Kofi shake his hand anyways? Presume they will do the thing where Miz has to earn peoples trust etc

rovert

Did Sheamus's opening promo remind anyone else of Irish Whip Wrestling's show opening promos? Was expecting the Ballymun Brusier to interupt him. lol

More so to me it seems to be a start of a storyline were Miz slowly proves to Kofi and other babyfaces he is a reformed character (a babyface himself).

Penn

Or a bluff. Miz tries to prove he's a face now and Mick Foley makes him Rybacks replacement in his team. Miz then costs them the match on purpose and reveals it was his plan all along. Miz gets more heat. Ziggler gets a slight push as Team Ziggler won. Nobody on Team Foley looks weak because they were betrayed.

That's true as well. Back in the terrorital days bookers would do the angle you are describing a lot.

Eddie and Batista were doing a slow full face turn of Eddie before he died too:

Who's bright idea was it to do a 'live' Smackdown against the election coverage?

Lord TSC

You don't even need to go that far back for the "Heel pretending to be good" story, though perhaps cause it was a divas angle, people weren't paying attention when Eve and Layla did it two months back :P
