Couple things I've seen on Smackdown this week:

1] Damien Sandow confused the crowd so much they stopped chanting "What?!"
2] Another Ryback match, another night of "Goldberg" chants, it's even audible over WWE's editing.
3] Derrick Bateman is surely future endeavoured soon.

Yeah, Ziggler has fallen into the "hell of a hand" category. He can have a great match with anyone and make them look great, but by that same token is never going to be the guy who gets the elevation from his good work.

Jericho fell into a similar trap towards the end of his first run with WWE. Hopefully, Ziggler can actually get a push towards being the top guy.

Looking forward to the Punk/Bryan match. I know they did it for free a few months back, but I think they're count on that being a throw away match without a definitive ending and that this setup should be a great match up.

It seems they're also trying for a new Austin/McMahon with Cena and Laryngitis. Which should work because as much as people dislike Cena they've finally found him an opponent who the crowd will boo more

Hopefully it'll be a really nasty feud...No goofing around from Cena..

Yeah, Cena is much more a likeable guy when he's not mugging for the camera.

Loved the return of Paul Heyman last night, one of the best men ever on the mic.

Lesnar to interfere at OTL and 'put Cena on the shelf'?
