How lazy is the Smackdown booking?
It seems like EVERY week, something goes on with 2 or more wrestlers in a talking segment and then Teddy Long comes out and creates a match.
I hadn't even noticed until 5/6 weeks ago when my friend pointed it out and since then i'm sure he's done it every week.

Replace "Smackdown!" with "Raw" and "Teddy Long" with "Annonymous General Manager" and you'll see the sentence still makes sense.
WWE booking right now is lazy everywhere.

At least he doesn't make them go one-on-one with THE UNDAHTAKAH anymore.

How often does Long interfere in these kind of matters anyway?
*backstage*
Trent Baretta: Look I'm just in the mood for a pizza, okay?
Daniel Bryan: Pizza's lame, let's find some nice Chinese place in town. More variety.
Baretta: Look, I just had...
*Teddy Long appears*
Teddy Long: Hold on a minute there, playas! I have gotten it approved by the WWE Board of Directors that the two of you will be getting Fish... and Chips right here... tonight at a local restaurant!
Bryan: Wait, that doesn't make any sense, how can you-
Teddy: Holla! Holla! *dances off*

It reminds me of Smackdown 2's Career Mode with less "CRASH HOLLY HAS ENTERED THE ARENA!" which is dissapointing.

I would love if he just didn't show up one week.
Wade Barrett : I want a title shot.
Sheamus : No! I want a title shot.
Khali : garhbs kjiwemn dkijwemd wewnsjd.
Christian : No! I want a title shot.
...
Christian : I said.. No! I want a title shot.
Wade : Well, um.. What do we do now?
Sheamus : -shrugs-

Right about now, every show has a predictable open:
RAW: Blah, blah, blah; Anon makes a match
Impact: Always start with Immortal
SD!: What you said- two people arguing, Teddeh makes a match

Honestly, I look at it more like Teddy Long is the most logical man in scschports enterTAINment! /booker How often does Long interfere in these kind of matters anyway? *backstage* Trent Baretta: Look I'm just in the mood for a pizza, okay? Daniel Bryan: Pizza's lame, let's find some nice Chinese place in town. More variety. Baretta: Look, I just had... *Teddy Long appears* Teddy Long: Hold on a minute there, playas!

I have to admit, this week's SD had the most nonsensical way of booking a main event match in a long time. You could have had the easy tag match with Randy Orton & Christian vs. Mark Henry & Great Khali. (Okay, not-so-easy, considering Khali is supposed to be a face, but he's a "monster threat", so you team him with the other big hoss.)
Whomever pins Christian gets the title shot. If Randy Orton & Christian win, then Randy gets the shot.
But, leaving it up to "the WWE Universe"? Teddy, come 'ere, playa'. Who did you THINK was going to win the audience vote? Holla.

Wonder what they would have done if Mark Henry significantly out popped Orton.

Wonder what they would have done if Mark Henry significantly out popped Orton. Dub the cheers over with boos and make it seem like Orton got the better reaction. I wonders of pre-taped shows. |

Wade: Tell you what, Heath, from now on we'll constantly remark about world title matches backstage, just between us, but loud enough for Teddy Long to hear it. Let's just practice a bit, hmmmm? So when I say I should have a title match, you tell me that it should be your world title match.
Heath: Check!
Wade: If anyone deserves a title match around here it's me.
[Heath stares blankly]
Wade: Now, remember, if Teddy hears us complaining about our lack of title shots, he's bound to give us one for the hell of it.
Heath: Gotcha!
Wade: The only man on Smackdown who can beat Randy Orton, is me!
[again Heath stares blankly]
Wade: *sigh*
[hours pass by]
Wade: [frustrated] Argh... Now when I say "It's MY world title shot" and press down on your foot, you shake your head and disagree.
Heath: No problem.
[stepping hard on Heath's foot]
Wade: There's no way you can beat Orton.
[Heath stares blankly again for a few seconds]
Heath: [whispering to Teddy Long, next to him] I think he's talking to you.
