-The King of the World and YOUR Champion of Champions, King Booker along with Queen Sharmell make their way to the ring. Pinky up to be fancy in the presence of the King! The King is on the mic and has some words for the peasants in Ohio. He conquered all the champions as he marched into Cyber Sunday. He is now a hero and a legend, the Champion of Champions. He defeated the rouge that is John Cena and the giant Ogre The Big Show. He defeated them like he defeated them all. Alexander the Great wept when he had no other lands to conquer, as he weeps today.

-Thaddeus Long makes his was out to the ring with photographers. Thaddeus is here to stop the tears. On behalf of Smackdown and its fans, he congratulates him. The King thanks us all. Thaddeus wants to get some nice photos of him, and Thaddeus gets in on the pictures. Thaddeus then says there is one other thing. A lot of people were gunning for him, and last week there was one man that protected him and the title. He owes him a favor, and that is Batista. The King says he needed no help, and Thaddeus agreed that he is the champion but he owes Batista and to pay him back, Batista gets a shot at the World Title at Survivor Series. The King goes back to street mode and Thaddeus then says he is the champion right now, but he may not be at Survivor Series because he has a match right now…against Bobby Lashley!

-Lashley makes his way to the ring.

The Tremendous Tirade: By God we had a “rasslin show” this week kids! Good opener with Lashley and King Booker, followed by the really fun tag match between Hardy/Yang vs. Helms and Sylvan. I say make them tag teams and drop the Cruiser title since they aren’t doing shit with it. MVP vs. Kane next week, yawn. Eddie’s Estate? Fuck WWE. They finally they did something right with Kennedy and let him get the upper hand, after all he IS the heel and needs some credibility. Benoit got time on TV as the champ as KC James continues to impress, but needs a win soon before people think he and Idol are nothing but jobbers. Boogey Man, next. Miz vs. Boogey Man next week…oy. I really liked the video packaged all night to build to Finlay vs. Batista. It added to the build of the match very well, and when it was time the crowd was into it. I haven’t cared much for Batista lately, but tonight made me not want to change the channel and kept me into it. Whether they can keep me interested is another thing. After 2-weeks of very BLAH programming, Smackdown rebounds and gets a thumbs up this week for the wrestling alone.
