Friday Night SmackDown! 1/13/2006: For and Against
AGAINST: "Rumored" injuries? Theodore Long's out there with Batista? Put two and two together, guys.
AGAINST: This sounds more like a "retirement" speech than an "I'm hurt and I'm just forfeiting the title" speech.
FOR: He does sound like he means it, though. The stuff about being a proud champion and all that.
FOR: Batista shaking hands and hugging the crew. (That was Steamboat?)
FOR: The Best Of Seven video package.
FOR: Orton trying to get out of the U.S. Title match and into the battle royal.
FOR: Long shooting him down.
FOR: The early grappling.
FOR: Benoit taking a page out of Eddie Guerrero's book (and Cole noting it)
FOR: The pop the very threat of the Crossface gets.
FOR: This match.
FOR: Whoa! Benoit's nuts! And Orton taking that spill to the floor was most unexpected.
FOR: This match. It's a lot different than anything we've seen between these two. Or really, anything we've seen in a while.
FOR: Orton holding his own on the mat.
FOR: Fisherman's suplex!
AGAINST: That move NEVER works.
FOR: People in the crowd doing Benoit's throat slash.
FOR: Benoit getting two visual tapouts. Puts emphasis on the sure-to-be-coming screwjob.
FOR: Well, if you're gonna do it that way...
FOR: Very good match, though.
FOR: Piper: "I just don't know how to interview myself."
AGAINST: That's a rather motley crew of Smackdown talent in the battle royal. Is that even 15 guys?
AGAINST: Jillian's overemoting.
AGAINST: JBL really shouldn't keep cutting Piper off like that.
AGAINST: "You'll never find a pine box?" What the hell does that mean?
FOR: Piper: "Well, the damn thing's got lungs."
AGAINST: Oh no.
AGAINST: Oh God no.
FOR: Okay, THAT'S the greatest thing the Boogeyman's ever done.
FOR: Piper making up Hail Marys~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FOR: Melina's looking especially tasty tonight.
FOR: You can tell who's being set up to be somewhat important in these things by whose entrances get shown on TV.
FOR: So it'll be 20 men in the battle royal. Who ARE the last two? I don't see Rey out there.
FOR: ANGLE?!?!?!?!?
FOR: Long seeming to know what's going on.
AGAINST: Cole and Tazz not asking him about it. He's RIGHT THERE.
FOR: JBL reigniting the brand war by taking on Angle himself.
FOR: JBL losing that battle.
FOR: The belly-to-belly overhead suplex elimination of Burchill.
AGAINST: What's Mark Henry doing?
AGAINST: You do know Angle's still legally in the match, right?
AGAINST: How is Sylvan still in this thing? Did they just forget?
FOR: Rey's expression when he turns and sees Henry.
AGAINST: Did Angle just turn face?
AGAINST: Tazz missing another aspect of Angle's headscissors -- try to get the big man winded by cutting off oxygen. It's especially egregious after they made a big deal out of it in the Benoit/Orton match.
FOR: The "live" finish showed that Angle didn't touch the floor more clearly than the replay did.
AGAINST: This sounds more like a "retirement" speech than an "I'm hurt and I'm just forfeiting the title" speech.
FOR: He does sound like he means it, though. The stuff about being a proud champion and all that.
