I don't get the rating. Doesn't make sense.

But then thing is, regardless of if they have a 2.9, 1.9, or 4.9, getting 150,000 buys is still a small fraction of the audience. I think WWE still has a good shot at getting a very good buy rate for Sunday's MITB show.

I don't get the rating either. I really want to see what the Punk segments scored, so I guess we'll have to wait for the quarter hour breakdowns. I'm not surprised, though. Outside of Punk it was a very weak show.

Smackdown Spoilers for Friday

Show opened with Randy Orton coming out for an interview. Christian was on the tron talking about how he was going to win the title on Sunday.  Orton said Christian was pathetic, and Christian said Orton's family was pathetic.  Orton challenged Christian to come out, which he didn't, and then Orton said a five day championship run is pathetic. 


Ezekiel Jackson b Ted DiBiase to keep the IC title using the torture rack. 

They seem to be heating up the split with Cody Rhodes because Rhodes told him he gets one more shot at the title, and if he loses, Rhodes puts a paper bag over DiBiase's head.

Cody Rhodes b Daniel Bryan

Teddy Long noted that if Big Show and Mark Henry have any kind of a physical altercation on the show, he would cancel their match on the PPV show.

Somebody spray painted Orton's tour bus.  I wonder if he had a new wife in there.  The spray painting was "Orton sux, Teddy equals Morton, Christian uncrowned champion."  Christian then pretended he had no idea who would do such a thing.  Probably Matt & Jeff Hardy in the state they're in.

Sin Cara b Sheamus.  Wade Barrett attacked Sheamus after

Christian was hanging at the Mohegan Sun Casino. Somehow he had Orton's wallet.  Orton took out $1,000 and played Roulette with it and lost.  Christian said Orton's luck must be running out.

They had a segment with Show and Henry arguing.  Henry was to stay on stage while Show was to be in the ring.  Henry wanted to fight but Long told him to save it for the PPV.

Kelly Kelly b Rosa Mendes

Johnny Curtis said he would have his first match on Smackdown soon. 

Justin Gabriel b Heath Slater with a 450

Kane b Randy Orton via count out.  Orton was chasing Christian around the ring and got counted out.  Orton gave Kane an RKO after the match but Chistian speared Orton.  Christian went to hit Orton with a chair, but Orton got the chair away.  Christian ran away so Orton hit Kane with a chair.

After the show, Orton gave RKO's to DiBiase, Rhodes and two more to Christian.

I just have a gut feeling something major is going to go down in the main event.
Plus, you have two almost guaranteed great matches with the MITB matches, and Orton/Christian is always pretty good too.  Although Orton/Christian will probably have some kind of screwy finish because of the stips.

[quincy powell]

I wish I was optimistic about this whole angle but The E has been known to drop the ball in recent years. I'll wait until I see it. I'm excited about it though.
