Rating: ** (Fine main event although I liked their GAB match better)

Overall this weeks Smackdown looked to have alot of potential with seven
matches! But it wasn't unfortunately! It was an alright show! They did showcase
Vito, Sylvan, and the debut of the very green Sylvester Terkay. And why even
order the GAB when we got three free rematches here with the same result and
same winners! The main event was fine and King Booker and Queen Sharmell
really entertain me! I wanna see the tag team champs Paul London and Brian Kendrick more. You
can't just have them on PPV's and gone the next cause we don't know much
about them. Give them mic time! And Gregory Helms is the longest reigning
Cruiserweight Champion ever, well then let him be on the show then.
Overall Rating: 6
See you all next week!
