SmackDown! 6/16/2005: For and Against

FOR: Johnny B calling the Angle pick.

AGAINST: The image of JBL at a spa.

FOR: Acknowledging One Night Stand after the fact.

AGAINST: I'm wondering why Benoit hasn't called JBL out on the "Wrestling God" thing yet. There's still time, though.

FOR: The idea behind the finish.

AGAINST: The execution. Was Benoit supposed to hook his legs there?

FOR: Typical gangland attack. Simple, common, but it works.

FOR: Whoa! The Pistons are here? Don't they have a game tonight?

FOR: OH. Sup, Taker. How ya been. Wife and kid are fine, I hope.

AGAINST: The Black Ninja attack. This NEVER WORKS.

AGAINST: Nobody got chokeslammed.

FOR: Long's all, "Yeah, just so you know, that's your opponent tonight."

FOR: Eddie/London!

AGAINST: Not showing London's repeated attempts to retaliate last week.

FOR: London actually getting some offense in.

FOR: The return of the Lasso from El Paso.

AGAINST: Butch, Cubs and I are probably the only three people who remember that.

FOR: REY'S RAGE~~~~~~

AGAINST: Eddie no-selling the chairshots.

FOR: The length of this brawl.

FOR: Rey trying to close the truck door on Eddie.

AGAINST: It backfiring. There's two referees in there!

FOR: The Cabinet squabbling.

FOR: The Bashams getting fed up and quitting.

AGAINST: That came across as more abrupt than I think they wanted it to.

FOR: Carlito's dig at Hershey. Hilarious. "I see a lot of fat people..."

AGAINST: That "chocolate balls" remark. What?

FOR: Tazz correcting himself. "That came out wrong."

FOR: So the couple that kicks ass together, stays together? All right. So like the Smiths, then.

FOR: Carlito makes an interesting point. But when did Sharmell officially become part of the roster?

FOR: Booker and Sharmell throwing apples at Carlito. I like these two.

AGAINST: Carlito yelling at Morgan in Spanish. HE CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU.

FOR: Show's appropriate retribution.

FOR: There's a job I want: Smackdown Announce Table Builder.

FOR: An actual U.S. Title match.

FOR: Orlando's Face Of Concern.

AGAINST: Orlando's hair.

FOR: I'd actually be surprised if Hardcore went over here.

FOR: Hardcore's reaction to the finish.

AGAINST: Someone please get Heidenreich a damn napkin.

FOR: Women LOVE chocolate. Oh, it's true.

AGAINST: Let's never give Michelle a mic again, 'kay? Thanks.

FOR: Melina mocking her.

FOR: Melina having my babies. Yes, even more so now.

FOR: Maybe Heidenreich's search for friends takes a new direction now?

FOR: Eddie/Rey next week!

AGAINST: Next week?

AGAINST: Why hasn't the draft pick shown up yet?

FOR: Benoit repaying the favor from earlier.

FOR: JBL panicking. "Don't leave me!"

FOR: JBL not wanting to lock up with UT.

FOR: Taker's spill over the ring steps.

FOR: What the... RKO! ORTON! Forgot all about him, to be honest.

FOR: That arrogant little pose he did before bailing out of the ring.

AGAINST: There had to be a better way to set that up.

FOR: Orton going up to the launch stage to do his promo. Puts him on a literal and figurative pedestal.
