Smackdown TV Report 10/28/11

Reported by Earnest I Aguilar  Zevallos

The Smack is being laid Down for us tonight in Houston Texas. The show begins with a recap of the ring collapsing during the recent title match between Mark Henry and the Big Show. Teddy Long is in the middle of the ring and assures us the title picture will be addressed later tonight.

Teddy is interrupted by Christian, who, obviously, wants one more match for the WWE Championship. Christian acknowledges that the match between Big Show and Mark Henry was historic; as in "it's history." As far as Christian is concerned, Big Show had his shot and didn't get the job done, so Christian thinks he should get the next shot, because he has dominated SmackDown for the last 5 months.

Teddy reminds Christian that he just lost to Sheamus this past Sunday. Christian still thinks he deserves another title shot, but is interrupted by Raw's CM Punk! Christian wants to know why Punk is here, and Teddy explains that since SmackDown superstars have been appearing on Raw lately as part of the Raw "Supershow" Teddy has arranged for some Raw stars to appear on SmackDown's "Supershow."

Punk finally gets his chance to speak and says he's glad to be on a show with competent leadership, taking a shot at John Laurinaitis on Raw. He says John makes Teddy look like FDR, and then says that's not exactly a compliment. Christian thinks Punk is a joke, and reminds everyone that he hijacked the WWE and left with the World title. Punk replies that he's a fan of Christian's wrestling, he's just sick of hearing him bitching every time he opens his mouth. Every time Christian opens his mouth Punk repeats the word "bitching."

Christian then says that as the leader of SmackDown, he's telling Punk to leave, because no one wants him here. Punk seems to accept this and sadly agrees that no one wants him here, so he might as well just leave. The crowd chants CM PUNK loudly and CM Punk stops and says "Oh wait, I think over 10,000 people here in Houston want me here, and I bet they want to see me in a match with you here tonight." Teddy Long agrees and makes the match for the main event later tonight.

After the match, Truth and Miz tell the crowd they shouldn't boo them ,they should boo themselves. They boast about all the people they have beaten lately, including John Cena.

When we return, some of the SmackDown superstars are watching the new Shawn Michaels' and Bret Hart DVD.

Tyson insists Brett was the better wrestler, and Bryan insists HBK was. Santino Marella tells them should settle their argument with a match, and they both agree.

In the back, Hornswoggle is dressed up like Zach Ryder and is doing a "fist bump." Apparently Hornswoggle is filling in for Zach after the beating Zach received from Miz and Truth last week.

Vickie Guerrero and her clients, US Champ Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger enter Teddy's office. Dolph tells Teddy that even though Teddy tried to screw him by making him wrestle in 2 title matches at Vengeance, he's still the US champ. Teddy says he wasn't trying to screw Dolph at Vengeance, just like he's not screwing him now by making him wrestle Randy Orton later tonight.

Jack Swagger tells Dolph to relax, they can handle this, but Teddy tells him he can't handle anything because he's banned from ringside. Vickie is outraged and Hornswoggle is mimicking Zach Ryder's "woo woo woo". Teddy is again interrupted, this time by Aksana. Aksana and Teddy walk off to Teddy's office to "talk."

Even if it's just a storyline quitting and he's only gone for a few weeks, that would be a nice little break from the boring painful crap he has been forcing on us for far too long now.
