I got the feeling watching Haas vs. Smith that they were running late, and they made the call to end the match early and have the ref say not to kick out so they could get the RAW stage set up in time. The comeback sequence had barely started, and the ending seemed really out of nowhere especially since it wasn't with his finisher he'd been using previously.

Let's hope Smith doesn't mess up again.

Yeah I was there live and the Haas/Smith match was like 1/4th the length of the Duggan match ...I was confused.

I think the original tag match went a little too long. Switch the time between the two matches and some people would've probably been happy. Me? I didn't mind since I'm a Duggan fan. Hoooo! USA! USA! and such... |

Snitsky seemed to be really stiff and sloppy that match. Trying to look more impactful's fine, but he seemed over the top stiff, and looked pretty careless with that biel near the beginning of the match like if the jobber landed on his head then that would just be too bad.

didn't watch Heat but hopefully Duggan's hilarious moment got picked up on camera. The ref was scolding him in the corner for doing something and Duggan turns to the ref and yells "get off my ass" then goes back to doing what he was doing.
and I used Hass/ Ster.Oid. Smith as a piss break before Raw started

So, let me get this straight as I don't watch WWE that often...Snitsky when from being a Heat mainstay to an ECW monster of the week, and then back to a Heat mainstay? And he uses a pump handle slam (one of the most boring finishers in the history of wrestling)? Wow...

It really is a shame after ECW built his character up so much how Raw just completely wasted and ruined him. |

Let's hope Smith doesn't mess up again. If nothing else so that we don't have to endure another 20 pages of "DH Smith should know better" posts. ;D |

People say "Conway pop" all the time but I swear I've never seen the kind of apathy Snitsky was getting. |

People say "Conway pop" all the time but I swear I've never seen the kind of apathy Snitsky was getting. Indeed I am. He debuted on ECW by attacking then-champion Lashley. The week after that, he mauled CM Punk after a match. The week after that? A few jobbers. He was sporadic. His attacks were random and unexplained. He shows up and kicks Balls Mahoney. Matt Striker goes to shake his hand and gets his head kicked too. No alliance. Just attacks. They had him stalk Extreme Expose. No-sell a chair shot from Balls Mahoney (Which definitely got a reaction) and start mauling people in matches. People were noticing him. People were reacting to him. Especially when the "Snittttttttttttsky" part of his theme went off before the "Jaws" like music. He was up to a level where he could be in matches with people like RVD. Heck, he started the "RVD Concussion" story with a heavy-duty chair shot. If you can, find the match he had on the WWE Draft Show (Where Vince...explodes). He has a match with the Miz, and the crowd actually cheers for the Miz. He got the crowd to side with a guy commonly hated by...yeah, I guess a majority of people. Then what happened? Random hype videos? Snitsky TALKING? Nothing but Heat Matches? Raw killed any momentum that he had. Just destroyed it. Then they threw him out there as "The Undefeated Snitsky!" at John Cena and was surprised he got no reaction? Please... |

The commentary here is so, so awful. Two guys with almost no personality. Not to mention that Grisham and Coachman have almost identical voices.
Surely there is one talker in the world of wrestling they could bring in to do this job one day a week. Heyman's still on the payroll, right? Get Foley. Get Arn Anderson. Even Billy Graham would be an improvement -- and I can't stand Billy Graham on commentary.
