Well, that's it for Velocity.If you didn't catch this edition of Velocity on TV, then I suggest you get a tape of it, as it truly was awesome! I still say that Velocity can actually be better than Smackdown most of the time. I caught Summerslam this past Sunday, and while it wasn't the absoulute greatest event ever, I thought it had some really good matches.
