[Vincent Michaels]

Tonight on SmackDown, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart will serve as SmackDown's GM from his hometown of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Sheamus gave Mark Henry one of his most formidable challenges to date at SummerSlam. What will remain in the wake of their monstrous brutality when they collide tonight on SmackDown?

Also, with Cody Rhodes defeating Ezekiel Jackson last week, will he be able to find a new contender for Night of Champions?

Will Mr. Money In The Bank Daniel Bryan continue having good matches with just about anybody?

Well there's only one way to to find out(unless you read the spoilers), by tuning into The SyFy Network tonight at 8pm to watch WWE Friday Night SmackDown!

I'm still not that interested in Cara.

SUPER SERIOUS VIDEO PACKAGE

GREEN DAY!

 

[JGlass]

YO WHAAAAAAAAAAT? IT'S THE HITMAN!!!!

 

[JGlass]

You just have to laugh at this. He's a fucking god in that building. You'd think Jesus just walked in. Actually, I'd be willing to wager that Bret Hart would outpop Jesus.

 

[Unsold Bacon]

What!? Title match tonight?

 

[WCWMondayNitroOnYT]

Nah. Christian is going to postpone it so itll be at NOC.

 

[WCWMondayNitroOnYT]

Edge is Bret's friend now? Does everybody in Canada know each other, eh?

 

[Unsold Bacon]

Christian vs Orton on Smackdown for the title makes the result obvious.

 

[WCWMondayNitroOnYT]

Fun fact...All Canadians are afraid of the dark.

 

[JGlass]

Maryse is still relevant!

Oh wait, no she's not.

 

[JGlass]

Wow, when's the last time Mark Henry got to open any show?

 

[WCWMondayNitroOnYT]

Rather have it be a HIAC match. Steel cages arent as much of a big deal as they used to be.

 

[Tyrath]

I get a chance to watch Smackdown for a change thanks to the hurricane.

So is Sheamus officially a face now?

 

[WCWMondayNitroOnYT]

Yep.

 

[WCWMondayNitroOnYT]

Orton vs. Debiase. I wonder who's going to win that one?

 

[JGlass]

Lulz, Ted DiBiase is fucked.

 

[JGlass]

Rather have it be a HIAC match. Steel cages arent as much of a big deal as they used to be.

No way in HELL are they giving us a HIAC on free TV. I'm okay with Steel Cage matches, despite the logic of those matches being shit, the past several have been highly entertaining if my memory serves me correctly.

 

[WCWMondayNitroOnYT]

I know but a mark can dream.

 

[Tyrath]

Oh man, smackdowns live next week? Thats 2 in a row I'll be able to watch!

 

[WCWMondayNitroOnYT]

If I remember correctly, there was a HIAC on RAW back in the 90s. Mankind and Kane vs. Stone Cold and Undertaker or something like that.

 

[JGlass]

Great, Daniel Bryan jobs again. The fact he won on Superstars doesn't do anything for me, let him beat someone on Smackdown for fuck's sake.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

This match should be great.

 

[JGlass]

If I remember correctly, there was a HIAC on RAW back in the 90s. Mankind and Kane vs. Stone Cold and Undertaker or something like that.

There have been two Hell in a Cells on Raw, actually, but they were both in 1998. Hasn't happened again over the next 13 years.

Dude, I LOVE watching Daniel Bryan wrestle. Probably something that is obvious, but it needs to be said. The dude is just a joy to watch in the ring.

 

[WCWMondayNitroOnYT]

Daniel Bryan with the MITB briefcase reminds me of when Punk got it for the first time. He kept on losing left and right. Then he just cashed it in on RAW out of the blue. Still wondering why his first title reign was a fail LOL
