Wait a minute.....you guys actually thought that was a dummy?
It was so obvious they filmed Taker opening the casket and then edited in a close up shot of the Undertaker inside and then cut back to the reaction shot. Notice how "the dummy" was never seen in the same frame as the real Undertaker and when Orton got back involved the casket was magically closed again so we wouldn't realize there really was nothing in the casket and they in fact just edited in a shot of the Undertaker in a casket during post-production.
I can't believe you actually thought it was a dummy...

I thought it was either a camera trick or just some guy that really, really looks like the Undertaker. That had to be pretty baffling for the folks in attendance. Maybe it appeared on the screen up above to clue them in?
This is the first Smackdown I've seen in four years and I wasn't too thrilled with it. I liked the bizarre Eddy/Batista segment in the ring and like everyone else, I'm digging Mr. Kennedy so far.
But the Orton/Taker match only picked up after the last commercial break, and the anticipated JBL/Mysterio match was slow with a botched finish.

I only caught bits and pieces tonight as background noise during a phone call, but I liked what I saw. And that was most definitely Taker himself in the casket.

I loved this week's Smackdown,probally my favorite episode in months.
The Taker/Orton match had me divided,since I like both guys,and they put on a great match,probally better than the ones they had at Summerslam and WM.I'd love to see Taker get one more run with the title.
Mr.Kennedy continues being my favorite new-comer.
"You Smell like Arkansas" LOL
And I am really looking forward to the Eddie/Batista match.And I love the storyline they have around it.

I think the JBL/Mysterio match illustrated why Mysterio should not be the heavyweight champion. I didn't believe for one instant while watching that match that JBL couldn't have just broken Mysterio in half and gotten the pin at any time. I know size isn't everything, but I think people who argue for Rey's potential as a heavyweight champion may not be realizing how small he really is. I watched a tape of a TV match of Rey vs. Chavo this morning, and Chavo executed a couple of moves that I don't believe Rey coud have realistically kicked out of. He seemed so much more powerful than Rey, and Chavo's a cruiserweight! I think that realistically, a 619 would barely faze JBL. And besides, JBL got his shoulder up. I really hated this match.
