I've
got a sore on my pinochle.

Welcome to Falls Count Anywhere! My name
is Chris and I’d like to play more canasta!
SmackDown!
Rey came out and started whining about being Mrs. Guerrero
turning on him. She came out and said that she was now Chavo’s
business manager. I’m no fan of this, and Vickie wasn’t
great at her role either, nor was Rey his usual great self.
I’m just hoping we get some good matches out of Rey-Chavo.
You
know, back in the 1990s, there was a promotion out of the
Carolinas called Omega. The stars were a pair of brothers
named Hardy. There were others in the promotion too, including
a guy named Shane Helms, who is now known as Gregory Helms,
and on this week’s SD!, he took on Matt Hardy in a
very good match. The
crowd loved Matt, too. They went back and forth and worked
a smart match.
I saw
these two work together back in the day and they were really
good, if far more reckless. This was clean and smart and
ended after Matt missed a Moonsault and managed to hit a
Sunset Flip for the win. This wasn’t a Title Match,
but it does set up a match for the title down the line.
Mr.
Kennedy asked for a shot at the US title. Kennedy rules!
Theodore R. Long said that he’d give him the match,
but with a few added thingees. Kennedy said that he didn’t
care what the stip would be.
The Miz took on Tatanka. I’m not sure
why they’re still using Tatanka, but they should be
letting him go. The Miz is pretty decent, but he’s
got a terrible sort of charisma. He won with his feet on
the ropes. I was not impressed.
In a
match that made me very happy, Mr. Kennedy beat both Fit
Finlay and Bobby Lashley to become the new WWE US Heavyweight
Champion! Kennedy tried to convince Lashley to team up,
but Lashley tossed him like a ragdoll in a Belly-to-belly.
That was a nice touch.
Finlay
took over and eventually teamed with my man Kennedy and
that led to Kennedy getting the upper hand when Finlay thought
he could trust him. Kennedy was great in this match. He’s
got the best kind of charisma. Finlay had a Single-legged
crab when Lashley full-on put a boot in Fit’s face.
The Little Bastard showed up, but in the end it was Kennedy
rolling up Lashley for the win by holding his tights. All
hail King Kennedy! Kennedy!
Vito is easily the worst gimmick you’ll
ever think of. He and Regal had a match which wasn’t
very good. MVP watched from outside the ring. Vito went
for the armbar, but Regal bailed and got himself counted
out. Not a good match as even Regal was off his game.
The New Pitbulls took on Paul London and
Brian Kendrick in a match that I’d say was too short.
London got worked over a bit before a hottish tag. Kendrick
used a small package for the pin. It was way brief. The
Pitbulls then beat on London and Kendrick. It wasn’t
a bad way to build a feud, but they could have let them
go a little bit.
Oh boy!
A contract signing! I hate these things. They had Booker
and Batista sign their contract and expect for the time
when Batista called King Booker simply Booker, it was dull
until Batista gave Booker a spinebuster that didn’t
break the table. I wasn’t a fan of it at all.
I liked the wrestling here, with a couple
of minor exceptions, but I didn’t like most of the
non-wrestling. On the other hand, I’m so happy to
see Kennedy is getting a bigger push. That should be a good
way to go with the man.
That’s
all for today. Thursday will feature more of the same. Only
more.
