Friday Night SmackDown! 8/18/2006: For and Against

AGAINST: And here I thought it was because they'd figured out that it wasn't very smart to have a Last Man Standing match and an I Quit match on the same card. Turns out it's just Khali being so bad that they don't want him to wrestle live anymore.

FOR: Batista's lost weight.

FOR: Was that even two minutes?

FOR: MVP in the skybox~~~~

FOR: JBL on Terkay: "The guy's about one generation away from walking on all fours."

FOR: An actual interview for London and Kendrick?

AGAINST: Michelle's outfit.

FOR: Is that a yardstick?

FOR: Kennedy's leg work.

AGAINST: Tatanka gets hosed again?

FOR: Teddy sticking by his decision to book Chavo/Rey.

AGAINST: They're doing the Last Man Standing match now? This show's turned inside out.

FOR: The triangle choke in the ropes.

AGAINST: Daivari's clear death wish.

FOR: JBL's hushed tones of almost reverence.

FOR: JBL: "That's a weapon he doesn't need!"

FOR: The shot of the fan cheering Khali's bleeding.

AGAINST: The fans being ahead of the count.

AGAINST: Do you get the feeling Cole and JBL are just using their Summerslam script for this match?

AGAINST: Vito's dress. Green's not his color.

FOR: Nice touch finding a soldier to cut to during Lashley's entrance.

FOR: Lashley's quickness.

AGAINST: We've seen the fake eye injury trick before.

FOR: JBL: "Six Million Dollar man? What'd you watch that in, black and white?

FOR: The replay of Lashley's assisted half-gainer off the apron.

FOR: This match.

AGAINST: The finish.

FOR: The post-match aftermath, ending with Lashley throwing the chair at Finlay and hitting him with it.

FOR: Anyone who can use the word "bamboozled" in a promo gets points from me.

FOR: Batista's look of incredulousness.

FOR: JBL: "You are witnessing royal toes!"

FOR: Cole: "Yeah, a royal heel." Nice.

FOR: Batista STEPPING ON HIS FOOT. Hilarious.

FOR: Rey, DX, Cena, Hogan, Flair, Show, Booker.
