WWE Friday Night SmackDown!

Not a particularly memorable episode of Superstars, notably due to the involvement of Paul Burchill and Tyler Reks, but Chris Jericho and Finlay had an excellent match for Superstars to boost this to a thumbs up one-hour offering.

By Bones Barkley 03. Shelton Benjamin is also a wash. Instead of making him a star, the company has been using him to put over new talent. Instead he should be entered into a feud with Christian pronto because he is the only one with the experience and style to really excite.

By Matt Matt: Apparently these six just love hurting themselves and one another. Spike Dudley, Rhyno, and Lita all make appearances in this one. Being the most instrumental in the match, Rhyno assists his buddies Edge and Christian to help them regain tag team gold for their seventh reign in one ye...

By pstrum@poughkeepsiejournal.com (Phil Strum) WWE, though, at times, can repeat ITself, is often cliched and officially, has no idea what its audience, "the WWE universe," actually wants.
