Smackdown 5/24

• Eddie vs X-Pac
  • The announcers are believing that Eddie's changed ways, so you'd think it'd mean it wouldn't be long before he turned.
  • Or he could be really turning face and that'd be weird.
  • How come Cole was all shocked about the news that Triple H was hurt, then knew that he was operated on already?
  • X-Pac with a somersault senton? Who does he think he is, Tazz?
  • The live fans didn't seem to react to the finish - not used to seeing X-Pac do the X-Factor that way.
  • I was going make fun of his spin kick-arific offense but he was mixing in newer stuff at the end.
• Why did they say "season finale" of Seven Days when it's not on next year's schedule? Odd.
• Pop for Tajiri's name is kinda odd too, wonder if that was added in.
  • The whole segment was much more tongue-in-cheek (*Regal* talking about the lack of sterotypes) than overtly racist, which was the pre-airing theory.
• The edited version of the Shane/Angle segment from RAW was much better than the actual one. 
  • Well, if they left in the "C for Cookie", it would have been.
  • "Kurt Angle will never forget the name of Shane McMahon!" That sounds familiar.
• Why was it windy where Molly was sitting?
  • Molly didn't do her best acting here, oh well.
  • "What is this, Saved by the Bell?" 
  • Was that a dummy sitting there?
  • There sure were enough people standing around watching.
  • This match seemed to go on forever.
  • It was a good angle and all but the match was never in doubt and on and on and on.
• Nice to see that Raven's still alive
  • He sold that leg well.
  • I was trying to figure out why that beatdown was happening, but then I got the reason.
  • Cole likes saying "knocked loopy" too much
• Okay, I understand why Trish had the screen put up
  • But why the really bright light?
  • It takes quite a scene to leave Grandmaster Sexay speechless.
• Funny that Rhyno didn't seem to notice Tajiri
  • Tajiri might have remember him enough to back away.
• Trish, Blackman and Sexay is one of the oddest trios 
  • But that's what I say with whoever Blackman and Sexay team up with.
  • "Paul's good at blowing people off"
  • I wonder if Goodfather reflected back to his pimping days when he was in the ring with Trish.
  • This was perfectly fine for a GMS/Blackman/Trish/RTC match.
  • Blackman's dancing even without the glasses? Odd.
  • Trish is probably better than most of the people they've had dance.
  • Though that Worm was kinda not good.
• Saturn's goofy. Next.
• Lillian's range of facial expressions are quite interesting.
  • Edge and Christian give the closed caption person fits.
• The TLC match was really good.
