Anyways...Russ you bring up a good point. Since Batista has one foot in and out of the dog-house, (and has been like that for awhile)-why wouldn't the braintrust over there bring back Mr. Kennedy (who's primed for an upgrade in the card) to Smackdown. The program with Umaga/Carlito was intriguing (as all of those guys are pretty much heels) --but, hell he didn't win the damn belt! Oh well, its not all bad...looks like Shelton Benjamin is channeling Butch Reed circa 1986! And thats good for a laugh or two. Just don't tell Ron Simmons As much as I hate the direction the Fed is going in these days, it seems every week I am tuning in; at least for the first hour or so..shame on me I guess?

Cena must have the belt pretty close to a year now which is quite frankly shocking. They just seem to be going through the motions with the World title and this is really highlighting the lack of depth in the top tier on Smackdown. With regards to the ECW title, I think they really need to put the belt on Punk at the next PPV, as if he keeps losing the big PPV title matches then he is going to look like a guy who always bottles it at the big stage. The undercard was predictable but it is always laughable to go back to the "loser leaves SD!" scenario.
